375 Alicia
[Host, I suggest you exchange five Premium Tickets this time.]
"?!" Alex was startled to see the sudden notification from the system. "Why? I need to level up the others, so I think I will use all of my tickets to Normal Gacha."
[I can only advise you about this, Host. However, I can guarantee you that you won't be disappointed to exchange away 1000 Gacha Tickets]
Alex was furrowing his eyebrows. He knew he would be the one who made a decision as his system only advised or supported him. He contemplated a little while before gritting his teeth. "Exchange 5 Premium Ticket! And use them!"

When the system used his Premium Tickets, he already expected that the system girl would appear again. He waited for her. However, when she really appeared, his mouth was wide open.
"You… you… you…" Alex wanted to call her, but he was in complete shock as he could not even utter her name.
A woman appeared while bringing a white box. She had long purple hair, wearing a cute white delivery suit like the usual delivery girl. Her pale face was still fresh in his mind. However, the fact that she suddenly appeared in front of him was real.
She said with a cheerful but soothing voice, "Alicia Van Rizertia… No, I should change my name. We never had that tradition back then. Hmm, Alicia Sirius, no Alicia Van Sirius is cooler. Ahem, Alicia Van Sirius brings your package, Husband."
Alex immediately ran toward her and hugged her as tight as he could. "You are fine, right? Right?!"
"Uhm…" Alicia dropped the box to the floor and hugged him back. She hugged him back gently. "Don't worry about us, Husband. Sister… Ahem, well, we are in the system's headquarter. Although we can't talk to you that much, we will appear from time to time. Well, sis… system will take care of you in our hands. So, we can increase our strength at ease."
Alex did not say anything as he only hugged her, conveying how he missed her.
Alicia looked at her hand that started becoming transparent. "I think it is time for me to go. Husband… Please believe in us."
As she said that, Alicia then disappeared. Alex could not say anything to her. Then, a message appeared in front of him. It was Alicia's message.
[We are going to train so we can help you in the future. Don't slack too much, alright. Ah, don't ask anything about the system after this, since you will know about it sooner or later. - Alicia]
"..." Alex stared at it for a while before closing his eyes.
He took a deep breath and said, "I am going to win this."
Seeing Alicia and Firia were fine, the burden in his heart had finally gone after he realized Alicia was fine. He did not know why, but he had this feeling like the feeling he got after beating John.
Alex closed his eyes a little bit. Suddenly, he felt a surge of Spiritual Energy inside his body. He tried to see what happened but could not find anything. Although he had acquired the knowledge about Meridian, veins, and the like, he could not see any of that inside him. It was like he was completely normal.
He also had seen the others, but they were also completely the same as him. Alex was confused as to why he could not find someone that had something like that. He thought this was the norm in this world, and the knowledge was for another world.
He did not know about the Earth since he did not have Spirit Eyes or whatever back on Earth, but he could confirm that no one in the Wilow Continent, or at least, no strong people in this continent had one.
So, the only possibility of that was because of his Heart Demon. According to his memory, 'Heart Demon is a practitioner's negative emotions and other mental barriers which hinder their training/cultivation. In some cases, it can even attack the practitioner from the inside, and failure to adequately resist them may result in Qi Deviation.' He got all of this from Alchemy Knowledge, or it was more like the Path of Medicine.
Alex pondered for a moment. He never knew about this thing back then before he reached Martial Lord and got the knowledge. However, absorbing all of that knowledge was easy for him. After all, it was like copying an entire file and pasting it. It was different from sorting, as Alex needed to check the knowledge one by one.
And after this long, he finally sorted all of the knowledge that he got from that golden lightning. And this was his conclusion from his knowledge.
He remembered in the past, he often took a break when he was not in the mood to cultivate. And he thought he was lucky that he took a break at that time since he might have Qi Deviation.
And according to his memory, he would need to take on this Heart Demon in his Martial King Tribulation. After all, it was the birth of his Soul. And thankfully, he already knew that Alicia and Firia were safe, so he should be fine as long as he prepared.
However, just when he was finally finished refining the surge of energy, the second surge of energy suddenly came.
Alex was surprised why he suddenly had this second surge. His Pure Fire suddenly went out of his Phoenix Seed as it helped him in refining this Spiritual Energy.
After a few more minutes, Alex had the sign of a breakthrough. Alex was wondering if he would have some problems if he broke through because of this. However, it seemed that the energy from a Heart Demon was a Pure one as it was absorbing his Pure Energy from his cultivation from time to time.
In other words, his cultivation could go even faster since his worry had disappeared. However, it still could not be compared to the joy he felt when he knew Firia was fine, and Alicia had recovered. However, he could not comprehend the reason why there were two surges of energy. The only possibility he could think of was because there were two Heart Demons, one for Firia, and one for Alicia.
After thinking about that, Alex decided to savor all the energy. And before long,
'6-Star Martial Lord.'
He finally advanced from 5-Star Martial Lord to 6-Star Martial Lord. He never expected that he could do it with his Heart Demon as he usually consolidated his cultivation normally.
He thought he finally changed the misfortune in his blessing. After he broke through, he did not immediately leap out of his bed and jumped in joy. He continued refining the rest of the energy.
After a few minutes, Alex opened his eyes and smiled gently. He rose from his bed and went out to the balcony. He just wanted to look at the sky and said, "Firia, Alicia, wait for me. I will go to your place as soon as possible."
And at that particular time, Alex suddenly remembered Alicia called the system with 'Sister.' Although she did not continue with it, that thought was still lingering inside his mind. However, from Alicia's note, she warned him not to ask about it to the system as he would know about it in the future.
He pondered for a while before he decided to ask. However, he did not ask about her identity. Instead, he was asking, "System, I don't know who you are, but you are also a human, right? At least, this system… what is it?"
[System is a mysterious power that even the owner can't explain, Host.]
Alex looked at it dumbfoundedly. It was truly as he expected, the system was really not normal. And the delivery girl or what he called the system girl, it should be the rumored owner. He shook his head because this entire time, he had been chatting with someone, instead of a system.
"Anyway, Thank you for taking care of both of them," Alex said.
[I am still waiting, Host.]
Alex was startled to see that. The system still remembered his intention when they first met. Back then, he wanted to unravel the system.
"Yeah. Wait for me. I want to meet what kind of person that helped me this entire time, and I also want to thank you for Alicia and me personally." Alex smiled.
Alex then felt a Martial Lord came to his house. It seemed Charya had come. However, before he came to meet her. Alex still had another problem.
He looked at the white box that contained five gacha balls and opened the gacha balls one by one.
[Summoning Ticket (SR) x5]
[Gacha Card (R) x1]
[Cleaving Axe Technique (R) x1]
[Sky Piercing Bow (UR) x1]
[Miltoa Herb (C)]
After getting another 5 Summoning Tickets, Alex finally had 10 Summoning Tickets. Although he was curious about the Gacha Card, ten Summoning Tickets was more tempting to him.
"System, use 10 Summoning Tickets."

[Artur (UR) x1]
[EXP Card (R) x1]
….
…
..
[Exp Card (SR) x1]
[Nano (SR) x1]
Alex was surprised by his luck today. Not only did he meet Alicia, but he also managed to have a breakthrough even though he would need a few more days to consolidate. After that, he got another UR spirit, Artur, and another spy, Nano.
According to Anna, Artur was a hero type spirit with Light Attribute. However, he needed to meet him first to make sure of his character. He just hoped that the Hero was not like John, who was a HEro.
As for Nano, he actually did not have any mission for him. For the time being, he had covered the basic information of the continent. Maybe, he would send Nano to Mount Hua Sect since they had a direct conflict with them.
But, judging from their situation, he did not need to do it as Mount Hua Sect should not pose a problem to them. So, he might send Nano to either Hazel Kingdom or Buddha Sect since they never interfere in this conflict.
In fact, he did not like them. It was not because they were a threat to him. It was just because he never knew what they did in this troublesome time. He wanted to make sure they did not pose any threat to him, especially in the Grand Tournament.
After all, it was a special event for him. At least, he hoped they did not do something to make the tournament canceled since he wanted the prize from the system.
Well, for the time being, he didn't summon both Artur and Nano since he would meet Charya soon. Alex pondered for a while whether he would use his Box Gacha for the first time or met Charya first. Ultimately, he decided only to use his normal Gacha Tickets first and used the Box Gacha after he met with Charya.
"System, use all of my Gacha Tickets," Alex said with anticipation. Since he got lucky today, he was wondering whether he would get many EXP cards from the system.
[Water Bottle x1]
[Summoning Coin x1]
….
…
…
[Scarlet Mace x1]
[Wooden Stick x1]
[Summoning Coin x1]
Alex leaped out of joy when he saw what he got. Normally, he would get around eighty Summoning Coins with six hundred Gacha Tickets, but today, he got a hundred Summoning Coins. He immediately used all of his Summoning Coins.
When he realized he got twenty rare EXP cards from a hundred Summoning Coins instead of his usual ten rare EXP cards, Alex could not stop grinning.
"I love Alicia. I love Firia. I love you too, System." Alex laughed. These twenty EXP cards were truly huge for him.
[Love you too, Host]
"Well, sometime, you will have this lucky day that you think everything is going your way. Ah, I really wish I have this luck every day," Alex said.
Alex took a deep breath to calm himself down and opened his room as he was planning to meet Charya.
