Fine.

While I appreciate your trust in me, that's not the issue right now.

Xia Jia squatted in the corner and drew circles.

Liu seemed to understand what Shaka meant. She wiped the watermelon bits from her mouth sheepishly and looked at Belle earnestly, saying:

"I understand what Xiaojia means."

"If you want 'me' on the other side to turn back, there's only one way, and that is..."

Belle swallowed hard...

Liu said solemnly, "Let her understand what justice truly means to her."

"Then what should we do..."

Xia Jia returned to her seat and interrupted, "Of course you should tell her directly, right, senior?"

Liu scratched his face.

"Well, it's not impossible."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent...

After a moment, Shaka looked at Ryu, who was blushing slightly, and asked in confusion:

"Why did you stop talking..."

"say what?"

"What is justice to you?"

Liu stammered, and after a long while, he finally mumbled something:

"I think, for me at that time, justice was probably a form of hope."

"hope?"

Ryu lowered her head: "I don't know what the person over there is thinking, but for me right now, the development of my clan, the reunion with old friends, and the possible reunion in the future are all reasons for me to keep living."

"It is also a hope for justice."

She glanced furtively at Xia Jia, then straightened her gaze again:

"In short, just let her know that you are her hope."

"Ha..." Belle was puzzled but impressed: "So, for Miss Liu right now, Commander Xia is your hope, your justice?"

/(/ /o/ω/o/ /)/

“What…” Liu was stunned by Belle’s sudden question, her face turning red to the tips of her ears in an instant. She slammed her hand on the table and retorted:

"No, no! I didn't... I didn't... um."

Liu glanced nervously at Xia Jia, closed her eyes, and slammed the door shut as she left.

Only one sentence echoed in the air:

"I'm going to wash the dishes."

……

Seele covered her mouth and chuckled as she followed Ryu out the door, waving goodbye as she left: "I'm going to check on Ryu, you two can chat."

When they came to their senses, only Belle and Shaga remained in the room.

Shaga asked, "Well, do you now know why I brought you here?"

Belle nodded. "Thank you so much. You're such a kind person."

"As a girl, don't just give out friend cards to anyone. People will hate you."

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Xia Jia patted his bottom and stood up: "Alright, now that this problem is solved, we should move on to the next stop."

"what?"

Xia Jia laughed and said, "Don't you want to become stronger and take Liu out of the deep layers? Then how can you do that without knowing the map?"

Shaga snapped his fingers, and a portal began to engulf Belle from the head.

"Let's go to the 37th floor and walk through the maze ourselves!"

……

Floor 37, lower level of the arena.

Two beams of starlight rose, and Belle and Shaga descended.

Shaga, carrying the magic stone lamp, led Belle forward through the narrow, quiet passage:

"Remember this route, and you won't have the cost of trial and error when you get back."

After a moment of confusion, Belle quickly followed Shaka forward: "I, I will try my best."

With the map recording function of [ST], Shaka proceeds along the entire map that Iwanaga Kotoko has explored.

Soon, they followed the route that led them to the entrance on the 37th floor.

Along the way, they also encountered many monsters from the depths.

Shaga did not intervene, allowing Bell to carry out the killings alone.

"Remember to allocate your mental energy wisely, use magic sparingly, conserve your physical strength, and be ready to deal with any unexpected changes."

"Yes!"

"Most of the Earth-born people's magic stones are exposed. Sometimes, you don't need to confront them head-on. Aim your stone at the magic stone and you can kill it with a single, precise blow!"

Shaga sat down and demonstrated, easily shattering a terrestrial being's magic stone with a small piece of gravel.

"So strong! No wonder you're Commander Xia!"

Xia Jia tapped Belle on the head: "Stop admiring what you've got, get back to studying!"

"But that's impossible. Hitting a level 3 monster's magic stone with a stone or something."

Xia Jia patiently said:

"Unlike when you enter the dungeon alone, you now have ample time and opportunity to carefully observe the monsters' movements."

“The Earth-born human has no muscles, which means that all its movements are performed along the direction of the bones.”

“Look closely, and you can easily tell whether they want to swing their swords or dodge by observing the direction of the forward tilt of their hip bones and the inclination of their collarbones.”

With Shaka's reminder, Belle easily saw through the Earthling's movements.

"Wow, that's amazing! To discover such a technique!"

Shaga sighed:

"Two thousand years ago, heroes fought monsters in this way: observing, studying, and even dissecting monster corpses and tasting their internal organs. They would do everything they could to kill monsters in the simplest and easiest way."

……

With Shaga's targeted guidance, Belle started as a local and gradually became familiar with the monsters on the 37th floor. She easily dodged monster attacks while hitting the magic stone with a single dagger strike.

"Next up is the advanced course. Whether you can learn it depends on your own talent!"

As she spoke, Xia Jia closed her eyes, and a spiritual light rose from her entire body...

"The pinnacle of talent. By extracting advanced states from the moves and actions of countless opponents, one can, to a certain extent, predict the number of rounds in this battle based on experience."

"In reality, it is about using one's own attacks to induce the enemy to make the actions one imagines, thereby determining the outcome of the battle."

Bell watched as Shaga effortlessly weaved through the monster horde and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Even more surprising.

At a certain moment, Shaka suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Kneel down!"

thump.

The barbarian warrior in front of Belle was kneeling on both knees, exposing all his weaknesses.

Shaga calmly stepped forward, flames erupting from his arm as he easily pierced the barbarian warrior's chest. He pulled out the magic stone, slowly turned around, and gave Belle a warm smile:

"So, have you failed to learn it?"

Chapter 328 Don't call me an old lady!

Belle's maze training lasted for two days.

During two days of non-stop battles against monsters, Belle's combat skills improved at a visible rate. With her Heavenly Eye and exceptional talent, it was impossible for her to have mastered them in such a short time.

This can be left to her next teacher to refine.

Shaga looked at Belle, who was soaking wet and panting heavily, and nodded in satisfaction:

"Not bad, you've got a bit of me in you. At least on the 37th floor, you no longer need to worry about single monsters."

To be honest, Shaga's targeted training is too useless for adventurers.

It's impossible for someone to only deal with a few types of monsters every day. What kills adventurers are mostly mutations in the dungeon, either enhanced species or monsters that exceed their own ability limits.
