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

With a loud gong sound, the competition officially began. The crowd below the arena stirred, everyone standing on tiptoe to get a better look.

On the left side of the arena, a group of six people slowly walked onto the stage. They were dressed in different clothes and at first glance gave people the feeling of high-level elementalists. Whether it was because these people did not hide their aura, the spectators in the front row all felt an invisible pressure.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yang slowly walked onto the stage from the right side of the ring. Because there were too many spectators below, all eyes were on Su Yang, which made Su Yang wish he could cover his face with a mask. Therefore, he did not dare to look up at the audience when he walked onto the stage, and walked with his head down, as if he was looking for something.

"This person is very strange. Why does he always walk with his head down? He looks so frail. How can he participate in a martial arts competition?"

"Yeah, look at everyone else, they all look so imposing, why does this guy look like a wilted rooster?"

"I think it's unlikely. It seems the marriage between the Prefectural Commandant's Mansion and the Tang family is settled today. But why bother with this whole thing? The Prefectural Commandant's daughter is really something, arguing with him. Marrying the Tang family's young master would mean a lifetime of wealth and honor. Sigh."

"Oh dear, why are you sighing? It's okay if the county magistrate's daughter has her own ideas. Just focus on watching the show."

The spectators below the stage were all talking at once, saying all sorts of things. Listening to what others were saying and watching Su Yang's performance on stage, Tang Tianlei felt a little relieved. He whispered to Tang Wan beside him, "Is this person really a high-level elementalist? He doesn't seem like it to me. It seems we don't need to do anything. My marriage to Yang'er should be fine."

"Don't say that. I've seen his strength, and he's probably not that simple. Also, why are you calling him 'Yang'er'? His name is Shi Yao'er, you should call him 'Yao'er'."

"Oh, yes, yes, I just got used to calling her that, Yao'er, little sister, hahaha." A happy smile was on Tang Tianlei's face, like a love-struck fool.

On the arena, the steward of the prefectural command stepped forward and continued to preside: "Both contestants have entered the arena. Now, I will introduce the participants."

"Representing the Commandant's Office are three of the six: fifth-tier elementalists Zhao Feiguang and Li Wenlin, and a sixth-tier elementalist Zhou Fangxu! They will engage in a series of battles!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience cheered. Fighting was a deep-seated human trait in this world. Normally, adventurers were not allowed to fight in private in various cities. A duel between high-level elementalists of the fifth rank and above was a rare sight.

"Two fifth-tier and one sixth-tier? And it's a tag team battle. It seems the expert you mentioned is probably out of the running." Tang Tianlei laughed happily, and Tang Wan also felt that winning was impossible.

"Their opponent is this Su Yang, Young Master Su, who is standing next to me!" Then the steward realized he didn't know Su Yang's elemental rank, so he turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Su, may I ask what your elemental rank is?"

"Me?" Su Yang pointed to himself, wondering how to answer. Seeing that the lowest level they were all was fifth rank, he decided to just say fifth rank and said in a low voice, "Fifth rank."

"Young Master Su is also a fifth-tier elementalist. Now that introductions are complete, the duel shall begin! The first round will be a duel between Zhao Feiguang and Su Yang! Please!"

The two stood on the left and right sides of the arena, making their final preparations as instructed. While warming up, Zhao Feiguang thought to himself, "As Miss instructed, I must kill you on this arena today. Let's try out my newly invented moves."

It was supposed to be a warm-up, but Su Yang just stood there blankly, watching Zhao Feiguang keep making movements. After a short while, at the butler's signal, the two began their duel.

Zhao Feiguang instantly assumed a fighting stance, displaying the demeanor of a martial arts master. He had one hand in front and the other behind his back, appearing polite, but in reality, there was something more to his hand.

Seeing that Su Yang had not made a move, Zhao Feiguang stopped waiting and began to prepare for his next move. A flash of purple light appeared on his wrist, and a lot of light purple smoke drifted out from his sleeve, which soon filled the entire arena and enveloped him.

"Oh? This move is interesting," Die'er's words echoed in Su Yang's mind.

"What do you mean?"

"This move looks a bit like the mist element moves you use, doesn't it, Linglong little girl?"

"Hmm..." Only Linglong's indifferent voice responded to Die'er.

Su Yang then realized, "That's true, I'll give it a try when I have time."

The smoke formed by the cloud elements grew thicker and thicker, and gradually Su Yang could no longer see Zhao Feiguang's figure, but the detection radar could still clearly observe his location.

The smoke drifted slowly toward Su Yang, which he found strange. Looking at the radar, he saw Zhao Feiguang moving slowly toward him along with the smoke, apparently preparing to launch a surprise attack using the slow-moving smoke.

Su Yang quickly went through the process in his mind. Right now, his Invisible Ring had already left with Jiu Li, and the Tier 3 Qi Element Bracelet he bought later probably couldn't handle his output. Mist Element was out of the ordinary, and Earth Element wasn't high enough. So, the only elements he could use were Cloud Element and Light Element.

Having made his decision, Su Yang prepared to engage in a brief battle, lose to his opponent, and then finish the task. He then activated his S-rank light element bracelet, and a flash of light appeared on Su Yang's body. This was the Light Possession skill, used to greatly increase speed. Su Yang then prepared to exchange a couple of casual blows, as long as he didn't get injured.

Zhao Feiguang hid in the smoke and saw the light flash on Su Yang's body. He knew that the other party had cast an elemental support skill on him, but he didn't care at all. He continued to walk slowly with the smoke. When he was less than five meters away from Su Yang, his figure suddenly melted away.

Su Yang was surprised to see his opponent's reaction on the radar vanish instantly. Just as he was about to intensify his detection, a figure suddenly appeared in the smoke behind him. It was Zhao Feiguang, holding a sharp blade, who stabbed rapidly towards Su Yang. Fortunately, he was detected the moment he appeared, and Su Yang immediately rolled forward. Luckily, his Flash Aura provided a speed boost, allowing him to barely dodge the attack.

"Phew, that was close. How come his move is so similar to my Misty Concealment?" Su Yang wondered.

“It’s different from Mist Concealment.” Butterfly said in a deep voice, “Mist Concealment involves attaching mist elements to the body to achieve a similar effect of invisibility, but this move of his seems to have transformed his entire body into cloud elements and then reassembled them. Otherwise, how could your detection have been lost for a moment?”

"Going this far? What if the restructuring fails? Wouldn't we lose our lives?" Su Yang dared not be careless. He hadn't expected that Qingfeng County was truly a place where hidden talents resided.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Zhao Feiguang was puzzled. Although his move was slow to execute, it had never failed once it was used. Why had it been dodged just now? But he didn't have time to think about it. He immediately retreated into the smoke. The smoke was getting higher and higher. If it weren't for the elemental array set up around the arena, the smoke would have already drifted down to the ground.

"Huh? Why don't I just pretend to be no match for him next time he makes a move, and then admit defeat?" A brilliant idea flashed through Su Yang's mind.
