1018 Martial Intent 1 (2/2)

By this point in time, the entrances to the Valley of Geniuses were lined with millions of young geniuses. Of course, like many opportunities provided by the Epistemic Tower, its presentation wasn't so simple.

The Epistemic Tower itself, no matter which floor one was speaking of, except for the top-most few, had relatively similar layouts.

One could imagine the tower's inner world as a massive and perfect circle. The edges of this circle were perfectly carved out into 100 pieces representing each of the 100 quadrants. Of course, these pieces were known as Corners.

Then, there was Central City. The central portion of its name didn't just refer to center from the corners, it was also center from the sky!

Central City was equidistant not only from each of the one hundred Corners, but was also equidistant from the ground and the upper-most limit the saint floor. It was essentially a city, spanning tens of kilometers across, hovering in the air.

Of course, this central hub was designed this way with purpose. Its position allowed all of the mysterious realms of the tower to find their own place in between all of the corners, randomly laid through out.

The tower was truly magical, containing a wide-ranging number of extreme conditions, wild beasts, and comprehension opportunities. And, this all didn't include the exclusive 'event' type occurrences of the Valley of Geniuses that only opened once in a while.

It was for all of these reason that Dyon looked down upon those of the 98th quadrant for not taking advantage of this opportunity because of their cowardice. There were very few places in the outside world better for training than the tower!

Unfortunately, not every quadrant raised disciples too cowardly to enter the tower, or else the coming event would be much easier.

Currently, Ri and Dyon were making their way to the entrance closest to them. Due to the nature of these special events, it wasn't possible to directly teleport there, instead, it was almost like a mini-trial to make it there. As such, Dyon had taken Ri in his arms and was flying at the highest speed one pair of wings would bring him while cutting through a dense arctic-like blizzard.

However… Since this was the closest entrance to Dyon and Ri, wasn't this also the case for the rest of the Kitsune?
