The spherical ball rotated and turned into a long blue blade and shot like a cannon into the giant's eye, covering its vision with piercing blue, and then red color.

The shinsu blade went into the deep stab wound Xin created previously and cut its way into the giant's head, dealing lethal damage to its brain.

Its other eye became dull as its body started swaying unstably and finally dropped forward to the ground, creating a shockwave across the room. Xin exhaled a breath and stepped down from the giant's head and looked toward his teammates.

"Congratulation Xin, it was a nice display of martial arts! You have improved significantly." Liu Guanyi clapped his hands and congratulated him.

"Although you take a long time, it was not bad at all." Said Adori with a slight smile.

Xin only laughed it off, though he was certainly happy to get their praise. Even Adori who was not that friendly to him gave her praise.

"It's all thanks to you, Mr. Liu. Without your guidance, I won't be able to face such a giant let alone fighting and managing to kill it."

"Even though my guidance and training help a lot, it's your dedication and diligence to stick to them and work hard that actually matter, good job, Xin." Said Liu Guanyi as he beamed a smile.

"However, don't be too happy and get that into your head." Liu Guanyi said as he pointed at the dead giant.

"The bloomer is powerful, that's for sure, but it had a bad matchup against you. Its size only made it a bigger target. Though its speed wasn't bad, against you, it couldn't do anything as you are much faster than him."

"Furthermore, the bloomer didn't have any technique or grace as it fought only with brute strength, making the attacks too obvious for you."

Liu Guanyi turned to Xin and continued. "These are something that trained and experienced warriors or powerful Rankers won't ever have. You know what that means, right?" he asked with a smile.

"I have to train harder and aim higher." Xin quickly answered with ease, he was already very familiar with Liu Guanyi's style.

"That's right. Oh, also don't forget to increase your training weights, you already experienced it firsthand the advantage of greater speed and maneuverability in a fight even against stronger opponents so you already understand it."

Xin nodded in understanding. "Got it, Mr. Liu."

"Let's go, we must move quickly, we already wasted so much time." Adori spoke out to remind them of their priority.

The two nodded and followed behind her as they moved toward the path that was blocked by the giant guardian. Since they moved at a fast pace, they quickly reached the door that signified the end of the path and went into it without hesitation.

Unlike what they expected, they were greeted with a spacious and quite comfy section, though it looked bland with the usual silver metallic color and only essential furniture like tables and chairs to decorating the place.

When they walked around, they found that there were separate bedrooms with their own bathrooms and showers, and even a kitchen with many foods and ingredients stocked inside it.

Looking at the section, Liu Guanyi was quite surprised, he didn't expect there was such a room inside the Hell Train. It was as if the creator had prepared this room for the regulars who came here to challenge the train to make them able to focus on the challenges,

Instead of taking care of their daily needs, at least if they manage to reach this point. Thinking about the peculiarity of this section, this could just be another lead to uncovering the secret of the Hell Train.

His brooding was interrupted as a voice was suddenly heard in the room. "Congratulation, regulars! You have arrived in one of the testing areas. Here, you can enjoy yourselves and relax as we have prepared comfortable rooms for you."

Looking around they found the source of the voice to be a small speaker hanging on the wall. Not wanting to miss the information, they stopped their action to listen attentively as the voice continued.

"The Hell Train will reach the 36th floor in four weeks. Until then, you can do whatever you want inside the room or explore the Hell Train more."

"However, you must not forget to get out through the door at the end of the room on the last day before the train reaches the 36th floor to be tested. So, enjoy your days here, regulars, for they might be your last days in the hell train. Anyway, good luck." The voice ended cheerfully.

'I see, I didn't expect that the testing zones will be paired with a resting place, which means that there are many places like this. The workshop really didn't hold back to give out many good facilities for the regulars visiting the Hell Train at all.' Liu Guanyi pondered.

This was reasonable in the sense that the Workshop was filthy rich with their enormous wealth as they were the biggest producer and supplier of many essential items and important devices in the tower, from weapons, lighthouses, pockets, and many other items of the lowest rank to the highest rank.

They also had many branches that effectively spread to the entire tower, hinting at their immense influence not only on trading but also the whole tower itself.

Liu Guanyi's mouth curled up into a smile, he might finally have a significant lead!

From what he had heard and researched about the Hell Train, this place was just something that was built as a way for the regulars to climb the tower faster, and have a more thrilling adventure than just the usual, dull, and tedious floor tests they had to pass through, albeit much more dangerous.

From what Liu Guanyi saw, this resting room was too wasteful just for D-ranked regulars, after all, they had come here knowing this place wasn't a nice, happy-go-lucky place which as nice as ninepence.

They knew that the Hell Train was a place only for the powerful and resourceful, not a place they could relax around. The point was, the Workshop seemed too generous to give out such a nice place after already spending a lot of their money to create and sustain the humongous train. The D-ranked regulars were nothing, everyone knew about this fact.

Even if the higher-ups of the Workshop liked to throw money around, even they should be able to understand easily where they should throw it better, like to fund their research since they apparently liked researching so much, or to give it to the ten great families to create a better relationship.

It was just too weird of them or any smart and wealthy person, to invest in worthless regulars.

Or maybe it was Liu Guanyi's assumption which was wrong in the first place. Maybe the Hell Train wasn't created to give D-ranked regulars an alternative path.

Maybe there was something he could infer from the history of the train itself?

Maybe there were a group of important and special people that came to the tower in the past that even the Workshop couldn't ignore, and they had built something great for them to build a good relationship between them?

Liu Guanyi smirked. The truth was already close, he only had to find a piece of conclusive evidence.

Oh, yea guys. If you follow the ToG manwha on webtoon, the Lo Po Bia family head is finally revealed. He looks quite cool, at least his face is. Maybe we will finally see the true power of the top entities in the tower?

I don't really think so. Unless Luslec comes to the battlefield to save the day, we won't be able to gauge how powerful Traumerei is. Probably Baam and company will simply escape due to plot armor or whatever since i don't think that Luslec will come to save them.

Siu most likely don't want to reveal him yet due to the importance of him to the whole plot of the ToG.
