Adori, Xin, and Liu Guanyi were walking toward a big and tall white circular building in the middle of a bustling city with Adori in the front, and Liu Guanyi and Xin in the back.

They walked calmly as many people stared at them, or more precisely, stared at the white-haired woman with an indifferent face and quickly moved away to open her path.

With the rumors about a prodigious princess of Zahard becoming the trending news in many places of the tower, Adori's appearance had become quite well-known in the tower, especially in the inner area where the regulars often come and go to take the floors' tests.

Therefore, a lot of people started to recognize her signature beautiful cascading long white hair, the Zahard's family red hairpin, and a sword tied on her waist.

Because of this, many regular people who saw her respected her and moved out of her way out of their own volition not out of fear or respect for the Zahard family but because of her own achievement and reputation.

Looking at this, Liu Guanyi nodded inwardly.

Indeed, only those who were powerful on their own, without relying on their family or connection were truly respected.

Regarding this case, the tower was quite similar to his world and the Martial Way. No matter where was the place, the strong was always respected.

Uncaring of those gawking residents and passersby, the three briskly moved on to their destination and finally arrived on the grand circular white building.

Looking at the big silver gate on the front of the building, Liu Guanyi reminisced about the past.

A lot of things happened after their journey on the Hell Train. They had steadily progressed and reached the 50th floor and become C-ranked regulars.

Now, after more than fourteen years since their stay on the last station, they had arrived on the 75th floor, another important milestone for every single regular who climbed the tower.

On this floor, they would be tested of their skills, might, and wits whether they were worthy enough to continue to climb the tower as a whole different level of class, the B-ranked regulars!

Indeed, passing the floor' test here meant that they would be able to have a whole different life compared to those who failed.

By passing the test, they would be able to receive the privilege that was exclusive to the B-ranked regulars, a far better treatment than the C-ranked regulars would ever receive.

Those things didn't really matter to them though. They wouldn't care about such a petty matter as the privilege as they had set their sights high on the top.

However, for the normal regulars, this was a matter that was akin to a life or death situation. Passing the test would mean that their life would be much better even if they decided to not climb higher.

However, since this was very important, the risks would also be much higher and death wasn't something uncommon in the tower.

Liu Guanyi, however, didn't mind it that much. With Adori here, everything would become much simpler. Even if the test administrator somehow decided to make things harder for them because of the political matters behind her, they couldn't make it obvious and could only influence the test slightly.

After all, those who backed Adori as a princess of Zahard also existed. Even so, with her tremendous power, Adori would be able to handle the test easily without Liu Guanyi revealing his talent.

From his previous fight with Adori, Liu Guanyi learned that Adori was already on the level of the average Rankers or even more powerful.

After all, most Rankers weren't as physically strong as her and could not handle her very swift sharp and attacks with her sword.

And when she used her true sword… even landing a single attack could kill them instantly.

That was why Liu Guanyi calmly strolled behind her, there was nothing to worry about really so he only had to act his part as a good subordinate and follow her orders.

This was the arrangement between them in the public.

When people saw them, they would see that the princess of Zahard was an excellent leader of the team, not a good friend that casually talked with their teammates, blending him in the background just as planned.

Going into the building, they could see many regulars inside in their own small groups. As they were about to look around the place for the one in charge, a human dressed in formal clothing quickly approached them and greeted them politely.

Then, without wasting more words led them the way. In a short time, they arrived in a small office. There, an average height man with blond hair sat behind a table.

"Ah, it's nice to meet you, princess Adori. I have been waiting for you since I have heard about your arrival on the 75th floor. I am Fred, one of the test administrators of the 75th floor." The blond-haired man greeted as he smiled amicably.

Adori nodded with a normal expression and spoke curtly. "You know very well the reason why I am here about so let's just cut the chase."

"Of course, princess I wouldn't dare to waste your precious time so no need to worry." The blond-haired man smiled reassuringly.

"I know that you want to take the floor test, if not, you definitely won't step into this place as someone of your standing wouldn't ever waste their time to just look around, no?" The blond-haired man looked at her calmly.

"However, it will be a bit problematic for me if you are tested alongside the other regulars so I assigned some of my men to tell me when you appear, you see? I have heard the rumors about you, princess, and you really surprise me."

The blond-haired man smiled as he narrowed his eyes at her. "From the shinsu around you, the rumors are indeed not unfounded. If you join the test with those regulars, you will simply crush them and break the test apart."

Adori only looked at him and spoke calmly. "I see, you prevent me from joining the regular test and intend to make things harder for me?"

The blond-haired man instantly threw his hands up the air. "No, no, no… of course not."

"You see? I have an interesting proposal for you, princess. You and your team will have a way different test from the other regulars but for fairness, you will obtain a nice privilege for the exchange."

"What's the privilege?"

"Your team will be able to climb three floors at once." Hearing this, Adori's eyebrows raised a little before she quickly composed her surprise.

"So, what's your decision, princess?" Looking at her with a smile, the blond-haired man asked.

"So be it, I'll take your offer." Adori declared calmly.

For someone too strong to join the regular tests, there is indeed a way or a special test they can take to climb the tower faster, though at the cost of having a much harder test.
