Book 7: Chapter 370: Danger Zone (3)

A wave surged over the martial world once more. It seemed like with every appearance, even after several years, Dyon couldn’t help but make a splash.

When others saw just how easily he completed his trial, they were in absolute shock.

Some were enraged that Dyon had stolen he spotlight once more and tried to point out that Dyon had disappeared for two years even after he had broken into the celestial realm. Obviously, that meant that he had more time to consolidate his foundation than others did. Therefore, it should be obvious that he would perform better.

However, those individuals, most of whom were from the Enigmatic Sect, were completely drowned out.

For one, it wasn’t rare for individuals to consolidate their foundations before taking the trials, in fact, two years was actually on the lesser side of things. Some took 10, 20 or even 50 years to do so. One had to remember that the celestial realm was a completely different ballpark. One could take 900 years to cross it and still be considered a genius. So, what did 10 years mean?

Secondly, Dyon was very clearly still a 1^st stage celestial. Although his cultivation was difficult to detect because of how pure his energy was, there was no doubting this. How could just two years allow a normal 1^st stage celestial to defeat the god key sentinel in just one move? In fact, it was a move that utilized qi manipulation! Looking down on such a feat simply made you look stupid and bitter.

Still, while many could accept that Dyon’s strength was otherworldly, they simply couldn’t accept that his reward was so exaggerated!

Although defeating the key sentinel in less than 10 moves was rare, it wasn’t unprecedented. For example, Anak could have defeated the key sentinel in less than 10 moves if he consolidated his foundation first, but he was so aggrieved by his humiliating loss to the masked wife stealer that he rushed to step onto the celestial floors.

If it wasn’t for this, he could have beaten the key sentinel in 7 moves or less like Falkor and Titus did.

But, this wasn’t the key point. The fact of the matter was that there were individuals who had defeated the key sentinel in just two moves! Daisho Ken’s elder brother, True God Daisho, defeated the key sentinel in just 2 moves. True God Star also defeated the key sentinel in just 2 moves. However, their reward paled in comparison to Dyon’s.

Both received 20 bronze danger zones, 5 silver danger zones, and no gold danger zones. On top of this, their protection only lasted one month! How could a single move difference be so exaggerated?!

There was an even more blatant and recent example of this as well. Emytheus, leader of the Brotherhood of Guardians, defeated his key sentinel in just 5 moves, but he only received 5 bronze danger zones and just 1 silver danger zone with only 3 days of protection.

This wasn’t even the most shocking portion of Dyon’s rewards. 3% of the lower tier’s territory?! What the hell!

One had to know that there were only 100 power centers in the tower quadrants. If you add a little to take into consideration power centers with multiple figure heads like the dragons or the golden flame quadrant, you wouldn’t exceed 150.

But, then, if you subtract the clans without enough talent or resources to produce celestials younger than 1000 years old, you’re left with only about 50 powers total.

Any simple math would tell you that that meant that each power would be allowed, on average, 2% of the territory, but this would be a wrong. One had to subtract out the no-go lands where dynamic danger zones would appear, and you also had to subtract static danger zones since they didn’t count as part of territories.

After you did this, you were left with just 50% of the total lands left, of which, each clan would be allowed, on average, about 1/50^th of.

Obviously, it didn’t work out this way, with large clans like the Star Clan controlling upwards of 5% of these territory lands.

However, this didn’t change the fact that Dyon would be allowed, on average, 3 times the land of anyone else! On top of that, no one would be allowed to touch him or his people for 5 years!

As if this news wasn’t enough, the next round made people want to faint from anger.

One had to remember that key wielders weren’t the only ones allowed to receive rewards from their trials. Others could receive rewards as well, or else it wouldn’t be very fair.

Some of the weaker rewards included the right to enter danger zones for a period of time without being charged by the clan or sect that controlled it. This could be considered a sort of beginner’s grace. But, who would have known that Dyon’s Demon Generals would perform so well that they too received one of the highest form of rewards: Territory Protection!

Since they weren’t key wielders, the Demon Generals could only earn a few days each, but what did multiplying that by 3000 result in?

The Demon Generals all gained an average of 1.5 days of protection. This meant that Dyon’s new 3% territory, on top of 5 years from him, would gain an additional 4500 days of protection!

This meant that for the next 17 years, no one could even think of touching Dyon’s territory!
