The rays of the winter sun illuminated the whole continent providing pleasant warmth to everyone.
Ji Yun woke up at dawn and doing his morning stretches. The Morning sun is the best source of chakra for Ji Yun, so he absolutely won't miss the best time to practice his cultivation.
Today's the appointed battle between Ji Yun and Chi Wen since rumor also fully spread the academy as Chi Wen wanted, there are several Red class and Blue class students came to the battle arena, you can even see one or two silver class students among the crowd.
The battle arena is an open area surrounded by ten thousand or so seats, there are even balconies, private rooms for elders and underground passage. The central area of an arena is twice as big as the basketball court.
The underground passage in the arena leads to prison, where the prisoners caught by the academy are detained. The students can fight the prisoners for academic points or the prisoners are used to punish students who committed a serious crime.

Ji Yun quickly stuffed some breakfast and hastened to the battle arena, soon, he was stupefied; when he saw the battle arena was swamped with a sea of students! Even though he considered many students will come to watch the battle, but not this much. In the battle arena, there are 2000 or so students currently seated and busily chatting with themselves.
Despite the arena being densely crowded with students, there are no students present in the battle stage. As he entered the arena, he scanned through the whole arena and surprisingly caught sight of Fu Chibai who was sitting among the sea of students. When Fu Chibai noticed Ji Yun, he hurriedly waved his hand.
In Elders seating area, he saw 3 elders where Elder Nyra was also present and he didn't know about the other two elders.
Ji Yun walked towards the Elders area and greeted them: "Greetings, Elders"
Both of the Elders nodded at Ji Yun's greeting and one of them said, "Oh, you are the new student, Ji Yun. Your opponent hasn't arrived yet so you have to wait for some time."
"No problem, Elder" Ji Yun politely replied and went towards Nyra to greet her.
Nyra also surprised when she heard about the battle between Ji Yun and Chi Wen, so she came today to watch Ji Yun's improvements and prevent any mishap from happening.
"Elder Nyra, you also came. This is just a small fight, you shouldn't waste your time watching this boring battle.
"No, I am going to instruct you from on, so I need to gauge your strength and fighting skills. Mengxi also came with me but she went to student area with her friend. You can go and get ready for the fight."
Although Ji Yun did not know how strong his skill comprehension was compared to other students in the red class, he knew for sure that he was stronger than all of them by overall strength.
"Look, isn't he the student named Ji Yun? He really came for the battle." a drunk eyed red class student uttered.
"Even if he came, he won't be able to defeat someone at the level of Chi Wen." A student next to him rebuked.
"That's true"

"Mengxi, see your little boyfriend is here!" Delia whispered to Yu Mengxi.
"What boyfriend? He is just my junior brother. If you are going continue any more nonsense, I am leaving" Yu Mengxi warned with a blush.
"OK, OK, Don't go, I won't say anything". Yu Mengxi snorted without bothering to glance at Delia.

"Look, It's Chi Wen; he came"
Hearing Chi Wen's name, a small uproar emerged in the battle arena because he is considered as one of the top students in the Red Ranking board. Many of the students looked at Ji Yun with sympathy and pity.
"Heh heh, that brat named Ji Yun is done for, even now I don't understand why Chi Wen challenged him."
"Chi Wen, greets the elders" Chi Wen's build was not that tall, and his features were nothing special to look at either. After greeting the elder, he straight away leaped onto the battle arena stage and looked at Ji Yun and said in an indifferent tone: "I actually won't bully the weak and you're not even worthy to be wasting my time; it's just that I simply couldn't stand your disrespect towards my fellow senior student."
"Oh, then please teach me how to respect the fellow senior students" Ji Yun courteously said. Even though he knows this battle is incited by Shi Zhen, he couldn't see through why Shi Zhen selected Chi Wen and where this clown's confidence is coming from.
The elder who spoke to Ji Yun before appeared between both contestant and gravely spoke: "Since this is a normal sparing match, the duel will end if one of the challengers admits defeat; Inflicting heavy injury is also prohibited. Do both of you understand?"
"Yes," Both Ji Yu and Chi Wen replied.
"Then, Let the challenge begin!"
Just as the elder left the stage finishing his announcement, a faint glow emerged from the bodies of the two contestants. Chi Wen emitted a solid Yellow glow, while Ji Yun emitted an orange glow which is not least bit lower than Chi Wen.
"Mortal realm stage 2…"
As the crowd gazed at the rather dense glow of orange chakra emerging from Ji Yun's body which is equal to Yellow chakra many students gasped in surprise, even the elders are not sparred. Seeing Ji Yun solid and dense chakra, Chi Wen's face turned little serious.
"I will use my strongest attack against you so that even if you lose, you can mention to everyone that you lost by Chi Wen powerful attack; then no one will remark you for losing by a single attack."
Hearing the words, Ji Yun just smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Senior Chi Wen, you should speak this words after defeating me in single attack so please cut your crappy words and attack me."
Chi Wen enraged after hearing this, his yellow chakra transformed into a fierce wind and surrounded him. He directly charged towards Ji Yun with his extremely fast movements like carried by fierce winds, the fierce wind around Chi Wen's body turned into four invincible wind and darted towards Ji Yun.
Ji Yun who was long before expecting the fierce attack created a 'Dual titan shield' and faced the incoming wind blades. Even though this shield is only a slightly higher level than basic skill, Ji Yun's chakra density is comparable to Mortal realm stage 4 practitioner, how could it be simple!
Even the basic skill if it's executed by someone at a higher stage, it will be powerful; Moreover Ji Yun's shield is created with dual-layered highly compressed chakra, it can even withstand his 20,000Kg of strength.
"Look, is this basic level skill 'fire shield'! Did he think he can block junior Chi Wen's attack using that measly skill?" one of the blue-robed students taunted.
"What do you know?, Ignorance is a form of strength! The Skill, Chi Wen executing is an 'Invincible Fierce wind blades', even though it's not a higher level skill, it's more than enough to heavily injure the opponent of the lower stage." Another blue robbed student near him said.
But many of the students with discerning eyes could tell the fire shield is not simple. Even the elders couldn't grasp in surprise after they saw the Ji Yun's fire shield.
The invincible wind blades which are capable of piercing anyone under mortal stage 3 came in contact with Ji Yun's fire shield, the wind blades powerful momentum was easily dispelled and the attack was dissipated into thin air without damaging Ji Yun's shield; Forget about knocking Ji Yun, it couldn't even leave a scratch on his shield.
"How can this be?"
This unimaginable scene caused many students in the crowd to be flabbergasted. How could the attack of Chi Wen was easily blocked by Basic level skill?. At first, they had expected that Ji Yun would suffer a disastrous defeat, or even get severely injured while facing Chi Wen's attack; none of them had thought that the attack would be easily blocked by Ji Yun
The most shocked person was Chi Wen, he knows even though he didn't use hundred percent of his strength he at least used eighty percent of his strength on that attack. Chi Wen slightly began to panic, 'Even if I used the hundred percent of my strength, I am sure I won't be able to break his shield.'
"That boy was easily able to create a fire shield with two layers which would require a terrifying amount of chakra control and that too he easily blocked the attack of someone one stage higher than him." The Elder praised Ji Yun's skill.
Nyra was also surprised by what she saw, she always thought Ji Yun was slightly stronger than other students because of his physical strength but it looks like she was wrong.
