Three days passed since the confrontation between both Ji Yun and Shi Zhen.
This three days Ji Yun was fully focused on training in his newly selected techniques; Like fire elemental basic skills, he practiced the lightning elemental basic skills. Since he already learned how to control and use the chakra effectively, Ji Yun was easily able to master the basic lightning elemental skills.
Lighting elemental skill is destruction based skill, even the basic skill will be able to injure the opponent. Ji Yun only learned lightning generation and Lightning Bolt
Now the remaining techniques he needs to practice are fist and movement techniques. Ji Yun planned to practice the Movement technique first since it will assist him hugely in the battles than fist techniques. If one wants to be undefeatable they have to be versatile in every aspect of the body like muscles, fist techniques, movement techniques, and chakras.
Muscles help in defense, fist help in strength, movement helps in agility and chakra will help in elemental skills.
'The Basic Divine Technique and chakra control' Book he obtained in the black door has the Chakra control method, basic cultivation technique and some arts like Fist arts, movement arts, Muscle arts, concealment arts etc. But Ji Yun was only able to learn the concealment arts, no matter how much he tried he wasn't able to understand the other arts.
Likewise, the chakra control only taught him the full control of one's chakra, only when he applied it in the elemental skills, he understood the importance of this one's chakra control.
Ji Yun recalled the contents of Movement technique, Traceless swift steps and started his training in swift steps. The first stage of the movement technique, Swift steps, like its name suggests your leg movements should be quick, once you are able to effectively control your legs then the first stage is deemed complete.
Your leg control can be done by both Physical body chakra and Elemental chakra. There are also no requirements like wind affinity must to practice this skill, anyone can practice in this technique.
This is the difference between Skill and technique, skills can only be learned if you have the particular affinity for that skill, but techniques can be learned by anyone.
Ji Yun intended to use his Physical body chakra to control his leg movements, but first, he needs to understand the technique essence before he can try this technique.
Within a few minutes, Ji Yun opened his eyes full of mystification because within this few mins he already comprehended the essence of the skill. "Is this technique so simple or do I comprehended fast?. Whatever once I try the second stage of the skill, I will understand what's happening."
Upon considering this, Ji Yun once again closed his eyes and practiced the stage of the skill, Abrupt Turn. The second stage of the movement technique helps one to instantly or suddenly turn without any pause but this technique only helps to turn one's movement, so after you turn your speed will reduce from high to low.
Ji Yun once again easily comprehended the second stage, so without pausing, he continued to learn the third stage. The third stage of the movement technique is the extension of the second stage; the third stage allows one to increase their speed to maximum after one's turn.
The fourth stage of the Movement technique, Perfect control. Once the above three stages are comprehended and perfected their speed will vastly improve. But the fourth stage requires one to combine and perfect the above the three stages. Comprehending every stage is easy but if one wants to use implement the movements and combine them, it's very difficult.
Ji Yun's learning of the movement technique came to an end if he wants to comprehend the other stages, first, he needs to complete the fourth stage. He has to practice and familiarize with the first three stages only then he can combine and perfect them.
Ji Yun slowly began to implement everything he learned and started to practice in the Swift steps. At first, Ji Yun wasn't able to completely control his movements, but he slowly began to adapt to the technique.
After practicing for some time, Ji Yun found one major weakness of this technique that is it can't be used for long-range movement. This technique mainly focuses on the close range combat movements, it can't be used for chasing or escaping.
Even though he didn't comprehend the last three stages, he can see the use of this technique is are far greater than the first three stages. The fifth stage of the technique is Zone control, within this Zone, you can use the technique's full might. The sixth stage, Traceless, once one attained this realm they can become traceless within their Zone.
The last three stages of the technique are powerful and more useful in battle, the first three stages can only increase the agility and evading ability of the user.
"Let's test the Basic movement technique, I got from 'Basic Divine chakra control and techniques' book. Even though I wasn't able to understand it before since I learned a movement technique, I will try to learn once again" Ji Yun mused and began practice to understand the concept behind the technique.
After 1 hour, Ji Yun opened his eyes with a startled expression, "No wonder, I wasn't able to learn it before! It has been used with other movement techniques, I suppose it's like support technique. Let's test it with 'Traceless Swift movement technique' and see its power".
Ji Yun performed his swift steps with Basic Divine movement technique. Once the technique is executed, his basic divine technique acted as a medium to his swift steps and increased his speed and power by a great margin. For example, consider a human with many nodes Ji Yun used the swift steps like a pattern from node 1 to node 100 but now his Divine basic technique blocked the incompetent nodes and assisted him in showing correct node.
The basic Divine movement technique is like nitro in the car, it can boost the technique power with no side effects or you can say that as it will help the user in excluding the flaws of the technique and increase its efficiency.
Ji Yun was overjoyed, if his conjecture is correct his basic divine technique can block unwanted nodes so he can use the correct nodes to increase any movement techniques potential. If that's the case, there are other Basic divine techniques he knows like fist technique, if he learns that then his overall strength will tremendously increase.
With his improvement in the movement technique, Ji Yun is almost invincible under Mortal stage 3 with just his skills and techniques if added with his physical strength he can match against Mid Mortal realm stage 5 practitioner.
Ji Yun was exhilarated about his newly increased strength. Suddenly his identity card vibrated and a voice can be heard from it.
An announcement, Student Ji Yun: You are challenged by a Red class student, Chi Wen. You can either accept or reject your challenge. If you reject this challenge, you can't decline your next challenge. You can simply say the word 'Accept' or 'Decline' to confirm your challenge.
'I, Accept' Ji Yun accepted without a second thought, what he currently needs is a battle like this.
"Since you accepted the challenge, you have to be present at battle venue three days from now. If you don't appear at the battle venue you will be fined with 100 academic points while your opponent will be announced as the winner". The announced rang for another two times before remaining silent.
"Who is this idiot, Chi Wen?. Is it done by Shi Zhen or someone else?. Whoever it is they done me great deed by delivering a sparring partner on correct time. He will be a perfect match for honing my skills and techniques". Ji Yun chuckled and continued his training without bothering about the announcement.

Juhu restaurant,
Inside a private room on the second floor, the private room was currently occupied by four youths. Inside the room, many varieties of dishes and wines are arranged in the table but it was currently enjoyed by two youths who sat opposite the other two.
"Young master Zhen, I challenged him as you told me but I don't know whether he has the guts to accept the challenge". The young man with blue hair sat opposite to Shi Zhen spoke while he crammed the last piece of meat in his hand.
The young man with blue hair looked very ordinary wearing a long red colored robe with medium built, but one can see his eyes filled with a proud and selfish look.
"He will accept." Shi Zhen replied with a confident tone. Shi Zhen today is completely calm with no emotions in his eyes even his arrogant and domineering attitude is completely gone.
"But young master, why do you need me to defeat a little shrimp who only joined the academy. Even if he is slightly stronger, a stage 2 practitioner is enough to finish him off".
"Chi Wen, You don't know about him that's why you are so confident in victory but overconfident is not good for you. Recently I received a tip that he was powerful enough to defeat a mortal realm stage 3 practitioner even before he advanced to mortal realm with just his physical strength alone.
"What?. Young Master Zhen, please stop joking around. If you want me to use my full strength and humiliate him, please tell but you don't have to shower me with a lie". Chi Wen's sarcastic tone could be heard inside the room.
Shi Zhen only shook his head and didn't say anything. He was also shocked by the information when he got it 2 days back but after seeing who sent the information he completely believed it.
