Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

After saying that, Su Yang raised his hand and activated his elemental power. A purple light suddenly appeared on his hand. The moment the light appeared, the surrounding environment shattered as if glass had cracked. Su Yang was back in the stone chamber, where a group of huge bats were attacking him.

Su Yang materialized a rifle, and a burst of bullets was fired forward. Under the angry flames, the bats lay sprawled in rows, leaving only the last bat that had previously transformed into Wang Li. Su Yang felt a wave of nausea at the thought that he had actually held this bat's ugly claws. He canceled the materialization and activated the power of the air element again, this time incorporating a small amount of cloud element. Two vortexes of air entered the bat's body. Su Yang controlled the speed of the vortexes, and the two vortexes slowly advanced and rotated inside the bat, gradually pulverizing it.

After all the bats were eliminated, Die'er finally appeared: "What was wrong with you just now? After that group of bats appeared, I called you repeatedly but you didn't respond."

“I just entered a hallucination. These bats can actually unleash the power of the mist element. This place must be related to the mist sprites. Considering the previous blood sacrifice, this place may be related to the Lost Ring,” Su Yang replied.

"How can you be so sure?" Die'er asked, somewhat puzzled. She hadn't had much experience with the situation on the island, so she didn't know much about many things.

“I remember you said that X-level bracelets are formed naturally over a hundred years and need to be recognized by a master to unleash their full power. However, this Lost Ring has never recognized a master, nor has it materialized a spirit of the bracelet or the ring. Therefore, I suspect that this place is connected to the lost land of the Mist Elf Holy Land. After all, we have never been to the Holy Land, so maybe this place is the Holy Land.” Su Yang laid out his speculation.

After pondering for a while, Die'er said, "According to your speculation, it's not impossible. It seems that all of this could be a trial to determine whether you are qualified to be recognized as a master by the Lost Ring. But if that's the case, the situation would be very dangerous."

"How dangerous is it?" Su Yang asked, puzzled.

"After all, I am also an X-level bracelet. My first owner was tested by me before recognizing me. In order to ensure that I can match a human of similar strength, I usually test two aspects: first, elemental affinity, and second, elemental cognition. If the test is not passed, the bracelet will exert its maximum power to kill the tester," Die'er replied calmly.

"Let's take it one step at a time. The question is, how many trials are there?"

"I don't know either, since there are no specific rules. My trial was a test that was determined by your performance before and after I found you and you traveled through time. It was because you passed the trial that I became physical."

After listening to Die'er's words, Su Yang frowned helplessly and said, "Let's check if there are any changes to this room first."

After saying that, Su Yang began to explore the room. By this time, the fog had dissipated, and another door appeared in the room. This door was made of wood and was about the same size as an ordinary door in the original world. The wooden door was covered with vines and unknown small flowers that did not match the surrounding environment, as if foreshadowing a vibrant life inside.

Without hesitation, Su Yang pushed open the door, only to find a vibrant world beyond. Under the azure sky stretched a verdant meadow, the wind rustling through the flowers, creating a sea of ​​blossoms, and the warm sunshine bathed the earth. Everything seemed so peaceful, a delightful surprise for Su Yang, who hadn't felt the sun in so long.

After entering, the door behind him slowly closed. Su Yang explored step by step, and everything around him seemed so real. Just as Su Yang was enjoying this moment of beauty, a mist swept in front of him, and a woman walked out of the mist.

The woman, dressed in plain white, possessed the air of an ancient beauty from another world. A mist shrouded her face, obscuring her features. Holding an oil-paper umbrella, she slowly walked towards Su Yang. With a melodious voice, she spoke:

"Su Yang, congratulations on passing the first trial. Your affinity for the mist element is excellent, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to trigger the first trial. What do you think of the environment here?"

The ethereal voice seemed to make one forget all their troubles. Su Yang listened, his eyes glazing over, and he replied:

"It's beautiful here, it's like a fairyland, no, it's even more beautiful than a fairyland."

"Hehehe." The woman chuckled twice and continued:

"According to you, this place must be perfect for you to live here. In that case, I have a suggestion: if you agree to my proposal, you can have the right to come and live here anytime. What do you say?"

"Can I come and live here anytime? That sounds great. What's the suggestion?" Su Yang asked.

“This proposal should be easy for you to make,” the woman said, taking out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, opening the cap, and saying to Su Yang, “Put the Cloud Ring on your hand into this bottle, and you will gain the right to live here at any time.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yang immediately prepared to remove the Cloud Ring. The moment he touched it, a sharp pain shot through his calf, instantly bringing him back to his senses. However, once fully awake, Su Yang suffered from social anxiety when facing the woman. He stared at her and stammered, "..."

"Such a request is too simple. I can certainly do it, but could you please give me that porcelain bottle? I will personally place the ring inside."

The woman's interest waned considerably after hearing this, unlike her previous enthusiasm. She casually handed the bottle to Su Yang and said, "Since that's the case, you can have it." Then she turned to leave.

After Su Yang took the porcelain bottle, he examined it for a long time without making a move. Then he smashed the bottle on the ground. The crisp sound of shattering made the woman stop and turn around. She said in surprise, "Why did you smash the bottle? Did you suffer on the island for a year and now don't want to live in such a beautiful place?"

Su Yang remained silent, not to show off his expertise, but because he genuinely couldn't communicate. He was already familiar with Die'er and could converse fluently with her, but the presence of this strange woman made normal communication impossible for Su Yang. Seeing Su Yang's silence, the woman's ethereal laughter rang out again:

"Hehehe, it seems you've already seen through this is the second trial, but I'm still very curious about your reason for refusing to put the ring in the bottle. If you don't explain, this trial can't end, and you'll be stuck here forever. Of course, if your answers in the following question-and-answer dialogue don't meet my approval, you'll be stuck here just the same way."

The ethereal tone made Su Yang feel as if he were trapped in an ice cave, and he felt a chill. However, the chill was not because he was going to be trapped here, but because he was going to have to have a question and answer dialogue next!

In order to get out, Su Yang had no choice but to force himself to speak:

"Actually, it's quite simple. The first trial was mainly based on illusions. I guessed that the main attribute of the fog element was illusion. In my understanding, illusions can be forcibly dispelled by pain. However, I didn't do that the first time because I found something was wrong by comparing my memories. So this time, I left a wisp of air element before entering. As long as my hand makes any big movements, it will activate a vortex and strike from behind, so I regained consciousness."

Su Yang paused for a moment and then continued:

"As for why you refused, it's very simple. This is indeed the place I've always dreamed of living here, but after I woke up, I realized that the bottle should be detrimental to the Cloud Ring, whether it's refining or sealing it. Butterfly is already like a friend to me. I'm a bit socially awkward and can't communicate with a stranger, but I can't live without anyone to communicate with. So I'd rather choose Butterfly, even if I still have to live the same hard life on the island as before."

Seeing Su Yang's determined expression, the woman chuckled and said, "See you later."

After leaving those words, she vanished with the mist, and the once sunny environment disappeared, revealing the room in its original state.
