Eternal Thief-Novel

Ace's was depressing as he escapes the area and kept Javier's face for the time being. Since they can't see through the two-face mask, it was nothing but good news for him. 

He continued his journey towards the border of low lands at full speed before someone else even stronger came after him, especially that terrifying aura's owner (Layla).

Ace was moving at full speed for an hour when he heard the system's voice that he had been desperately waiting for. 

====

"[New function Thief Panel is ready for use.]

Ace was elated as he quickly finds a hiding spot and, with shimmering eyes, opens the system's main panel.

Ace inhales a breath of cold air, seeing these three new techniques all at once. But his face instantly darkens when saw two of their sky-high price. 

But sadly, no answer came, and it made him even more irritated. But he knew there was no point in bickering with the system and looked at the one technique that he can buy at this moment and ignore the others. 

He's keeps coming in contact with these rune symbols from the beginning of his cultivation journey, and this time he almost failed because of them. He hated them but also wanted to learn and understand them. 

Now, the system gave him precisely the manual for learning the Rune Crafting, and it was Heavenly Rune Crafting at that!

He didn't know the difference between the two, but he will learn it wholeheartedly. 

Ace instantly wanted to buy it but held himself back because of his TP limitation and wanted to check everything first before deciding to buy the things that he needed right now. 

After all, he has all the time in the world to purchase everything after he escapes this place.

Ace nearly had a stroke seeing the Weapon section of the system shop. 

But one thing caught his attention, and that was this Heaven's Stealer Disassembler Manual and Gloves. They both have the name of Heaven Stealer in it, which means his technique and these new items were connected. 

Besides, the gloves' grade was also unknown, that alone makes it quite alluring in Ace's mind.

Ace wanted to inquire about it but knew the system would take his precious question for it and since he can't buy them at this moment, he leaves them for the future.

The other thing was that Life Coin was the same as the invisible beads, with no warning or grades. But he can't buy any of these things, so Ace simply moved to the Pill Section.

Ace saw the pill section after a long time, he was amazed because two first-grade pills have appeared and a brand-new pill that can raise the skill stages instantly! This pill is an enormous help for him. 

And of course another Heaven Stealer Pill but a grade higher one. 

He never used the Heaven Stealer Pill because he didn't know what it does, but also its limitation. That's why it was unmistakably precious, so Ace was saving it for a difficult situation. 

However, now a high-grade pill has appeared with the old one still there, and there is a 'martial' word that has appeared with that, not for sale tag. 

This made Ace quite curious and finally use one free question on this pill and also confirm his guess. 

Because the system didn't tell him before, even with TP now that he has two free questions, he used one on it. 

"[Heaven Stealer Martial Pill used when the host encounters a bottleneck. It can help the host to break into the next small realm instantly.]

[Low-Grade Pill can help the host in Heavenly River Realm, while the Middle-Grade Pill can help the host in Heavenly River Core Realm.]

[As for the reason for the name change, host prowess was too low before and even if the host wanted to buy that pill, the system would not sell it. Now that the shop has updated, the true pill name has appeared with an additional tag.] 

[And host guess it right. There is a Heaven Stealer Soul Pill as well, but it is locked at this moment.]"

Ace's eyes shimmer ecstatically when he finally knew just how heaven-defying those pills truly were. 

Ace never encounter any bottleneck to this day because his soul cultivation was always higher than his martial cultivation. But what if this lead didn't last in the future? Then these pills can help him in both soul and martial cultivation. 

Ace suppressed his excitement and finally move on to the Skill section of the system shop that he has been wanted to look at the most.

Ace's heart instantly raced when saw all the new skills and read their information ecstatically. The more he read, the more prominent his hysteria and enthusiasm become especially when he saw three soul skills. 

He desperately needs soul skills right now because he never saw a soul skill here before. 

In the end, he was flabbergasted, and his eyes shone hysterically seeing all these terrifying skills because every one of their limits is Qi Soul Manifestation Realm, except for Soul Guardian Barrier.

It simply means if he perfected every one of those skills he'll be invincible below royal lands because it was almost night impossible to find a Qi Soul realm expert, much less a Soul Manifestation one!

"[Purchased has been successful]

======

A huge torrent of information enters Ace's brain at this moment, and he felt just a little uncomfortable. his soul cultivation of Qi River wasn't just for show after all. 

After a minute, the information of every single skill was in his brain, clear as day. 

Ace wanted to instantly start learning those peerless skills, but stop himself because there was still the Thief Panel left, his exclusive reward from the third mission!
