"I see." Alex nodded in understanding. "It's a good meaning behind each stage."

"Right?!" She smiled.

"That's right. I wonder how you maintain this tower?" Alex asked since he felt this mechanism would be useful for him if he decided to create a dungeon in a certain world.

"The Spiritual Energy is coming from nearby areas by using Arrays. It is also accumulated enough energy every ten years to create a test like this, and I also don't have any problem absorbing the Spiritual Energy around.

"As for the Sword Qi, this tower is supposed to be a material for the weapon for the successor of the Peerless Sword God, so the Sword Qi, no, Pure Sword Qi is used to strengthen this material. From where? It's from me and the people that keep coming every ten years.

"The tower absorbs the Sword Qi in a level they can't realize, so it's working this whole time. After that, I am the one turning them into Pure Sword Qi, some are for me to absorb while the rest is for the tower's maintenance.

"And yeah, I think that's all." She thought for a moment, not finding any other mechanisms.

"Fair enough. If you take one Spirit Crystal from each person, but you let a million people come in, you will get one million Spirit Crystals. However, I believe this is far less than ten percent of what you get, right?" Alex asked with a smile.

"Yes. It's less than one percent to be exact."

"No wonder you have enough Spiritual Energy to do everything." Alex nodded.

"I am honored for the praise."

"Still…You have done a lot…" Alex looked around. The house must be made from the woods that Zera planted in the garden. All things are also made by herself, so it can be seen how hard she works and learns how to make things. After all, as a cultivator, she wouldn't know the details on how to make a house and all other things around.

He had a lot of respect for such a person, especially regarding her loyalty.

"Do you want to do something? If I am not wrong, the person you have chosen is also inside this tower, right? Do you want to see her progress?"

"Yes, please." Alex nodded.

"Sure. Please follow me." She asked Alex to follow her inside the house, finding many memory crystals recording all the people inside.

She went to the bigger one and operated the system, showing Alex a certain girl's progress.

Before Alex even talked, Zera already made a comment with amazement. "This girl is indeed something else. I remember her because of her blind eyes. I give a technique to allow her to enhance her senses, so it's quite useful. Congratulations for picking someone so talented."

"Well, I didn't ask her because of that." Alex shrugged. "I was impressed by her temperament. That's all."

"Right."

Suddenly, she walked toward her wardrobe and grabbed a token. "This is my token. If you have something you want to get from this place, you can enter this tower again with this token."

"Well, I have a few people to send here." Alex nodded. "Maybe, I can ask for your help?"

"Sure. In fact, they can come straight to this place. I will be teaching them." She nodded. "This is a part of the reward and a part of my thanks to you for making a promise to find the successor."

"In that case, I will be taking that." Alex finally agreed since he believed she was far stronger and had a deeper knowledge about weapons, so it would be best to leave them to her. "Actually, I have three people to send. Two sword users and one bow user."

"I don't really mind. Although I am not a bow user, I understand the basics. And it's not like a bow is much different than a sword." She shrugged. "I believe I can teach her to learn about Bow Qi which is probably your goal to let them train here, right?"

"Yes. Don't worry. The girl is a genius, so as long as she gets the basic right, she would have tremendous power." Alex smiled as he was confident in his Bow Mastery he gave to Rose.

"Hoh? Is she your wife?"

"Nope. She is my disciple."

"No wonder."

"Then, I will leave it to you. In exchange, I will send someone your way in the future. Don't worry. I will be honest and search for the best one I can find."

"The promise from you is worth billions of Spirit Crystals. So, of course, I will believe it."

"Back to the topic, this girl is smart. Taking a look at how she considers her situation and try various things. She even uses a riskier method just to make sure she could pass the challenge." She narrowed her eyes.

Aria was on the third floor, facing the challenge of trust. Unlike Alex's complete trust in Eve, Aria didn't have that much confidence in her sword. After all, it was just a sword that she barely got less than two years ago.

Although it was far slower than Alex, she managed to slowly make her way to the fourth stage, so Alex didn't need to worry about her.

'I think I have made my decision.' He suddenly whispered something to the system.

[What is it?]

'I will grant her the power of the system.'

[You sure?]

'Yeah. But give it to her after she passes the fourth stage. I don't really care about the fifth stage.'

[Alright.]

Alex then turned to Zera. "Do you know any way to contact her or something?"

"You can talk to her when she is in the fifth stage. Like earlier, I will open a gate for you to meet her."

"That's good enough. Since I will be leaving this world after this last training, I will talk to her one last time." Alex nodded.

"Alright. I will arrange it for you. Do you need anything else?"

"I don't think so." Alex shook his head. "I am just going to practice in the meantime."

"You can train in the field over there." She pointed at an empty field where she usually trained. "That's the spot I usually used."

"You are not going to practice or something?"

"It can wait. Besides, I can focus on my task first while you are doing it, so no big deal." She shrugged. "I will inform you when she reaches the fifth stage."

"I appreciate it."

Alex then walked toward the field as he planned to start his training.

Zera waited for him until he began before doing her work in managing this Sword Pavilion.

Alex felt the concentration of Sword Qi here, so he got a bit overwhelmed first. However, he soon grew accustomed to this situation and eventually reached the maximum limit on how he could turn the Sword Qi to Pure Sword Qi.

Just like Zera's information, the concentration of Sword Qi became denser after three days. The people that got stuck from the first and second stages began to leave the tower. In fact, the majority of people were there, so he felt the increase was around fifty percent or more.

A few days later, specifically a week after he first entered this tower, the people on the third floor finally left the Pavilion. As expected, people on the Fourth Stage were Martial Saints. He couldn't find a single Martial Monarch there.

And to his surprise, there were several people on the fifth stage, and Aria was one of them.

"What is the reward for those in the fifth stage anyway?" Alex asked as he walked together with Zera to the portal to meet Aria.

"There is nothing much. I don't offer a single Spirit Crystal, so it's mostly technique or training time, depending on their need. Like my teacher said, I need to have a good grasp of their ability before teaching them. If I can do this, I will understand other people better and do a good job maintaining this tower."

"I agree." Alex nodded. "So, what are you planning to give to her?"

"You are worried?" She smirked as if wanting to tease him.

"I'm just asking."

"Well, I believe a technique and two weeks of training are enough for her. The technique she shows, the one that emphasizes the speed, is good, but it lacks power. I know that my Lord gave her a technique, but there should be another one to build up the foundation for when she reaches God Rank."

"I do have a plan for that, but the situation doesn't allow me to give. Well, I have given her the technique for Pure Sword Qi, so she won't get any trouble soon."

"Do you want me to take care of her for the time being?"

"Nope. She is fine as she is. I have no doubt that she will do everything just fine."

"Alright. I will just give you the time to meet. Or do you want to give the reward to her as well?"

"Sure." Alex nodded.

Zera handed a scroll to him along with a token that would teleport her outside when the time limit came.

Alex thanked her again and walked through the portal.

In Aria's perspective, it was as if a door appeared out of nowhere, making her confused. She raised her defensive stance, ready to strike if an enemy came out of that door.

"Oi, oi. You are going to point that sword at me?"

Suddenly, Alex's voice echoed in her ears as she widened her eyes, never expecting to see him again. "You…"

Alex waved his hand and made his appearance. "It's been a while. You have grown even stronger."

"Y-yes. All thanks to you. It turns out experiencing many things allows me to understand my opponents and myself better."

"That I agree."

"By the way, how do you just appear… Don't tell me…" She looked at her with a weird expression.

"I am not her friend or something. I arrived at this place too soon, so I got pretty lucky to meet the administrator of this pavilion. I don't know if I should be talking about this though."

"Well, it's not that important. But I think I will fail in this fifth stage."

"You sure?"

"Yes. From what I know, there is another hidden criterion to reach a place beyond the fifth stage."

Alex thought for a moment and smiled. "Yes. There is indeed a hidden criterion. Well, it's impossible for you to pass this gate simply because you are someone on my side."

"I see." She looked down and thought about something. "Is this related to the Sword God?"

"Yep. It's not a big deal to talk about this, so I will just blurt it out. The requirement is to be the Sword God's successor." Alex smiled.

"No wonder. Even if I have that qualification, I don't have a plan to do that."

"Well, I appreciate the thought." Alex then handed the reward to her. "This is the reward. Your time limit to train here is two weeks. And I think this is the last time I will see you."

Aria gradually opened her eyes, still seeing his disguised appearance. "Well, I don't have anything to say, considering I am going to chase you as soon as I become a God Rank Expert, so do you need me to say anything?"

"Not really. I just want to see your growth." Alex waved his hand. "How are you in the sect?"

"I am good. A bit restricted, but not much. I can easily slip away." She shrugged. "By the way, how about your situation? Especially with that Nella?"

"There is nothing much. According to my information, she has forgotten about me. It's good to know since I don't need to deal with her again."

"Pfft." She chuckled.

"Anyway, I will be returning to the floor for one last thing. After that, I will leave this world completely. Take care of yourself, will you?"

"Yes."

Alex then turned around, returning to the field while closing the gate.

"Thank you very much!" Aria shouted while bowing her head until Alex disappeared.

However, there seemed to be another surprise from Alex because as soon as she raised her head again, a blue screen appeared in front of her.

[Hello, I am Alex's Divine Gacha System.]
