Scheme

When the two of them are busily chatting, Chi Wen's identity card vibrated a little and a robotic voice sounded from the card.

Announcement: Your challenge has been accepted by student Ji Yun. 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 200 academic points since you are a challenger while your opponent will be announced as a winner"

Everyone in the private room heard the announcement,

"He has some backbone to accept my challenge. Well, it's good anyway; I can finish my job early and get my reward" Chi Wen looked Shi Zhen, a greedy look self-evident on his face.

"Young master Zhen, about my reward?" Chi Wen asked.

"You don't have to worry, as I promised, once you finish the job successfully, the Ivory snake pill will be yours". Shi Zhen said.

When Chi Wen heard this he smiled back, "Once I get the Ivory snake Pill I can easily break through to Mortal realm stage 4 while my physical strength will improve tremendously" Chi Wen thought.

Ivory Snake pill is a Rank 4 four pill which will help one to increase their physical strength and assist in solidifying the chakra density.

"Hahaha, Young master Zhen, you don't have to worry about anything even if the new student is stronger than normal practitioner; Young master Wen is ranked 21st in the Red Ranking board since you entrusted a job, he will complete it without any problems." A person sat next to Chi Wen cackled.

"So?" snapped Shi Zhen, he was patiently explaining how difficult it will be to win against Ji Yun so they will understand but these idiots till now doesn't take this job seriously.

Seeing Shi Zhen's look, Chi Wen explained, "Young Master Zhen, I will use my full strength against him in the battle and inflict a heavy injury as we spoke so you only have to ready my rewards. I will take my leave for today".

"Let's go". Both Chi Wen and the person to him shuffled away from the private room.

"These fools!!" Shi Zhen grunted.

"Young Master Zhen, will they win against that Ji Yun?" The person sat next to Shi Zhen asked but if you look closely you will find it's a girl named Rain with little disguise.

"No, this idiot will definitely lose but he will stimulate a fight between Ji Yun and some old students in the red class so our plan can be considered success".

"Okay, I will wait for your good news, young master Zhen." stating this Rain disappeared from her place. From this one can guess her affinity is little unusual but nobody knows what it's exactly.

Outside the Juhu Restaurant,

"Young Master Wen, after you finish off that Ji Yun, you can break through using the pill while increasing your physical strength."

"But I don't understand, why that Shi Zhen is spending a rank 4 pill to finish off that Ji Yun." The person next to Chi Wen spoke.

"Little black, didn't you hear the rumors that spread a few days back, he is fuming with rage so he wants us to teach that brat a lesson." Chi Wen said.

"Haha, Anyway, we got our share. Little black, spread the rumor stating that: 'Chi Wen is going to battle a new year student for shaming young master Zhen and fellow senior students without any respect'."

"When everyone hears the rumor they will understand, I have Young master Shi Zhen behind my back and I am teaching the junior a lesson because of the humiliation caused to fellow senior students. After that, they won't think I am bullying a junior."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, Ji Yun slowly woke up from his sleep and stretched his body.

"I only have today to improve my skills and techniques since tomorrow is the appointed date for the battle between me and Chi Wen. I perfected my swift steps but till now I wasn't able to combine the first three stages."

Ji Yun started to practice again but he was oblivious that the full academy is speaking about the upcoming battle between him and Chi Wen. Due to the rumors started by Chi Wen, many of the old students began to see the fight as a matter of pride and to return the humiliation.

Within a few seconds, Ji Yun heard a knocking sound from his room even though he was confused who could come and visit him, he walked towards the door and opened it.

Fu Chibai was standing outside with nervous face, when he saw Ji Yun, he immediately asked, "Brother Yun, is it true that you are going to battle someone named Chi Wen?"

"Yes, how do you know?" Ji Yun nodded and asked back because no one knows that he accepted the challenge.

"The Whole academy is speaking about the battle, there was also a rumor that Chi Wen challenged you because of your disrespect to your fellow senior students so he is going to teach a lesson how to be respectful to your seniors."

"Interesting" Ji Yun whispered with a smile on his face.

"Interesting? Brother Yun, many students will come to watch the tomorrows battle if you lose you will be humiliated in front of the crowd of students."

"Brother Bai, you tell me, what will you think if a Mortal realm stage 2 practitioner lose to a stage 3 practitioner?"

"I..I...It's true there's nothing to be ashamed if you lose to higher stage practitioner but you may be heavily injured." Fu Chibai cried out.

"But it looks like the opponent is very confident in his ability to even circulate a rumor as he already won." Ji Yun spoke.

"Yes, he is strong. I collected an information about him from his previous battles; Moreover, he is ranked twenty-one in the red ranking board. Here, this is the information if you read this, you will get a clear idea about your opponent's strength."

Ji Yun openly rejected it, "Brother bai if I win after reading the information, I won't be satisfied."

"But.."

"Hear me first, tomorrow I can use this information to win but in future, there may be an opponent who's information are unknown at that time what should I do?; so I better start that from tomorrow. There will always be some stronger so we have to prepare ourself ready to face any kind of opponents. Even if I lose there's nothing disgrace about it".

Fu Chibai was stunned after hearing Ji Yun's words. 'Yes, brother Ji Yun is right, there will always be someone stronger so If I need to improve myself, I should fight without relying on outside pieces of information'.

"Brother Ji Yun, I admire you from the bottom of my heart! What you said just now truly opened my eyes, I won't waste your time anymore, you have to win tomorrow." saying this Fu Chibai left. After he left, Ji Yun closed the room and once again started to practice his skills.

Inside one of the luxurious mansion in Rainbow city,

A youth was meditating while he sat on the prayer mat, he was handsome looking with fiery red hair, thin eyebrows, and straight nose. Just from a look, one could tell that this young man is a handsome and calm person. He was tall, and the clothes he wore were all intricately designed, which indicated that he was a person of wealth, he is Huo Jinmu.

Huo Jinmu slowly opened his eyes and peered at the girl who silently appeared at the corner of the room.

"Rain, how did it go?"

"I informed the details and told you about your plan, Shi Zhen also accepted your proposal and done it how I explained"

"Mn" Huo Jinmu nodded his head and said, "The first step is just to test his strength, once his strength is fully revealed, we will plan our next move. I didn't expect that youth's strength will grow rapidly in a few months time."

"I have to take care of him soon to prevent any future troubles, watch him carefully if he leaves the academy, inform me".

"Ok, Young master" Rain left how she appeared.
