A big and round white-blue building levitated in the air.

Its appearance was like a round disk that a certain creature was often associated with. In front of it the structure, there was a similar colored long and large building with six wings at the end of the building.

This was Mega Dome City, or what was more well-known as the last station.

This was a place built for regulars who had survived the Hell train to finally be able to relax after the hellish journey, at least for most regulars.

Therefore, the caretakers of this place didn't stint on the expense and efforts to make this place as comfortable and welcoming as possible for the regulars to heal their exhaustion and stress from the journey.

They said that if anyone survived the Hell Train and reached the last station, it would all be completely worth it.

The running red gigantic train began to slow down as it neared the last station. It finally completely stopped when it reached the gate of the building with six wings and docked on it.

The doors opened and around a dozen people alighted from the train, an extremely small number considering that hundreds of people had tried to hop on the train at each station.

Their faces looked weary and exhausted. Surviving on the Hell Train wasn't easy, defeating the train guardians and passing the tests weren't the only trials. It was also a threat from the other ticket holders and even their own teammates.

To survive, they had to be capable enough and had a tight-knit relationship among themselves, something that wasn't easy to be found in the unforgiving, super competitive atmosphere of the tower.

Looking at the nice and big round building, their countenance became much more relaxed and relieved as their spirits were instantly lifted. However, there were three people who were unmoved and looked at the building with a calm gaze.

"So, this is the last station?" Said Liu Guanyi.

"Let see if their reputation is well-deserved." Adori chimed in.

The three didn't loiter around unlike the others who were entranced by the notion of a nice rest and quickly walked toward the building.

When they entered it, they were greeted by a servant dressed in a neat butler suit and were politely led toward their room.

The room was elegant, clean, and neat. The floor was covered with a soft brown carpet, a golden chandelier with blue crystals hanged on the ceiling, and the beds were even king-sized. It was truly a luxurious suite, especially for poor people like D-ranked regulars.

Soon, the servant left quickly after showing them their room to let them enjoy their freely enjoy their stay here. Without wasting any time, Xin dived into the bed, feeling its heavenly softness and comfiness firsthand.

"Ahh… what a soft bed, I am so tired." Xin exhaled contentedly.

Liu Guanyi smiled as he saw this. "Just rest first, Xin. You deserve it after your adventure in that place." Then, he quickly went to the door.

"Liu, where are you going?" Asked Adori.

"Just the usual, I am going to take a walk around the place and seek fresh air." Said Liu Guanyi off-handedly.

"No, your usual is more like looking for a nice place to train. I bet if you don't find any, our stay here will be cut short." Said Adori knowingly.

"You know me well, Adori. Although this place is nice, It's not like this place is worth staying in for more than a single day. After all, we don't even own this place. Even we do, only ignorant and weak-minded people would stay here rather than continue to climb the tower."

"Only those who step out of their comfort zone will be able to thrive in this unforgiving tower." Said Liu Guanyi with a calm yet firm tone.

Adori nodded in agreement while Xin drowsily tried to listen on the bed. This place was nice and luxurious and was available for free to those who survived the Hell Train to the end.

They could stay here indefinitely, and the servants would take care of their needs meticulously. This was a treatment that not even all Rankers would be able to have.

However, while it was nice, it would make the regulars reluctant to pursue the greater dream of reaching the top.

Basically, the luxury itself made the regulars weaker even though they had just passed the Hell Train, an incredible feat for D-ranked regulars.

Such was the irony. Only those who are ambitious and smart enough could see this coming and wouldn't stay here for long.

"Anyway, do you want to join the walk?" Liu Guanyi asked.

Adori shook her and spoke. "No, I will stay here to take care of our plans. After all, we will depart tomorrow. We can't put our guard down and make a wrong move or our enemy won't let go of the opportunity to strike. For now, it's better to avoid them altogether and stay in the regulars' areas."

"Don't you know that you are really dependable, Adori? I'm glad that I invited you back then. If not, I would definitely have a much harder time climbing the tower considering my circumstances." Liu Guanyi spoke with a smile.

"No… need to flatter me, I'm simply doing my role." Adori blushed slightly and spoke with a hint of embarrassment.

Adori cleared her throat and asked. "Anyway, aren't you going to go?"

Liu Guanyi laughed a little seeing her trying to change the topic and waved his hand as he went out. "Alright, I am going. You guys just rest first."

Walking out casually, Liu Guanyi began to explore the building. He thought of what just happened. He wasn't a dense man, he knew that Adori had some feelings toward him from the many hints.

Honestly, Liu Guanyi didn't dislike her either, she was gorgeous, smart, powerful, capable, hardworking, understanding, and caring, at least toward the ones that she favored. She was the best woman he had ever seen in both of his lives.

Even only considering her beauty, countless people would definitely compete for her love, however, he wasn't just anyone, he was… Liu Guanyi.

Even in his previous world, he didn't care about having himself surrounded by numerous beautiful women even though many powerful men did and he was more than capable of it.

Compared to having countless women, Adori was much more valuable and attractive than such a thing. Liu Guanyi didn't care about vanity and consider more of the good qualities they had, after all.

However, even if Liu Guanyi found Adori to be his type and liking, he wasn't someone who couldn't subdue his desires, he was someone who had given his all to walk on the Martial Way.

If Liu Guanyi followed his worldly desires like those people, he wouldn't have been able to achieve his past achievement. With his immaculate control of lifeforce, he would be able to stay indifferent to those fleeting things and keep his focus and energy firmly on the Martial Way.

Adori herself was smart and controlled herself well, she understood that a princess of Zahard couldn't have any relationship at all, so she wouldn't do anything that would violate the rules.

Liu Guanyi looked up at the blue expanse up above. 'What's important is… to reach the top.'
