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

As expected, after receiving the request for help from the Heavenly Fortune Empire, all countries quickly agreed. Having learned from the experience of the previous war between humans and demons, the countries did not need to hold meetings to discuss the matter and immediately entered a state of mobilization. Those with money contributed money, and those with strength contributed strength. Although the war had not officially started, under the operation of the national machinery, money, food, weapons, and elemental magic array materials had already been shipped to the Heavenly Fortune Empire and the Holy Beast Kingdom.

Back to the academy's martial arts competition, the huge venue of Qinwang Academy was still packed with people the day after the competition celebration ended. After the competition time was shortened, many students and spectators were afraid of missing the exciting moments, so they waited outside the venue early in the morning. Fortunately, Su Yang and his two companions also arrived early, otherwise they would not have been able to squeeze in.

Strictly speaking, this day was the first day of the academy's martial arts competition. As Ye Heyi had previously stated, the first day would be a one-on-one competition. There were no complicated procedures; the actual competition began in a simple and efficient manner. After a brief introduction, Ye Heyi directly ordered all the students to enter the arena.

After the twenty-five students from the five academies were randomly assigned to the competition venue, a loud bell rang from the stone tablet in the center of the venue, and Ye Heyi shouted, "The individual competition begins now!"

In an instant, all eyes of the audience were focused on the simulated arena and the elemental projections. Upon receiving the signal that the competition had begun, the students did not hesitate and immediately began to move.

Soon, two students met. They were Lin Yongfeng, a fourth-level student from Tianling Academy, and Ma Ruoxi, a third-level student from Yunbei Academy. Although the rules explicitly prohibited communication during the competition, each academy had clearly studied their opponents. If Su Yang remembered correctly, among the third-level students from the five academies, only Yunbei Academy and Qingfeng Academy had female students.

Compared to the numerous fourth-tier students, third-tier and fifth-tier students are easier to remember because each academy only has one. Lin Yongfeng must have remembered this as well. After discovering that the person in front of him was a third-tier student, he did not hesitate to activate his elemental power. A surging wind arrived in an instant, and with just one strike, he sent Ma Ruoxi flying more than ten meters away.

Ma Ruoxi also urgently activated her elemental power. Just as she was about to land, a clump of shrubs grew below and caught her steadily. At the same time, her healing skills were activated and began to heal her injuries.

"Wood element? Oh dear, wood element doesn't have much of an advantage in one-on-one duels," a student next to Su Yang exclaimed.

"Who is this woman? I only remember Ren Shuangwen, the only female among the fifth-tier students," someone asked.

"She's either Lei Binyue or Ma Ruoxi. Look at that guy, his attack strength doesn't seem high. He should be a fourth-level student. The one who could be knocked away by him is probably only a third-level student."

As they were talking, a voice similar to that of a match commentator came from the scene: "Ladies and gentlemen, the first match in the arena has begun. Let's see who the two opponents are. They are Lin Yongfeng from Tianling Academy and Ma Ruoxi from Yunbei Academy. Hmm?"

The voice suddenly became doubtful as it spoke, and then a change occurred in the arena. Four referees instantly arrived at the location of Lin Yongfeng and Ma Ruoxi's fight, disqualified both of them, judged them as losers, and took them away from the arena.

"Oh dear, the first two eliminated contestants have appeared!" the commentator said with some regret. "Lin Yongfeng from Tianling Academy attacked Ma Ruoxi, a student of a different level, resulting in both of them being judged to have lost! Perhaps Lin Yongfeng was a little nervous and acted rashly without distinguishing the level of his opponent."

As soon as these words were spoken, laughter could be heard from the audience from time to time: "Hahaha, Lin Yongfeng is too funny. He just talked about the rules of the competition yesterday, and he has already forgotten them all today. He is putting so much effort into a girl whose level is lower than his own."

"You know what, is it possible that he recognized Ma Ruoxi as a third-tier student, but forgot the rule that you can't fight someone of the same tier? He found someone weaker than himself and couldn't wait to defeat her, so he made his move."

"What you're saying is actually quite possible. If that's true, then it's even funnier!"

Just as these people had guessed, after Lin Yongfeng returned to the preparation area of ​​Tianling Academy, he came to Song Xianyi and said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, Dean, I... I was so nervous that I forgot I shouldn't attack someone of a different level..."

After saying this, his self-blame intensified. This was his first time participating in the academy's martial arts competition, and he hadn't expected to make such a blunder right from the start. Song Xianyi didn't blame him, but comforted him while giving him a warning: "It's inevitable that you'll be nervous since it's your first time participating in the academy's martial arts competition, but this is also a good experience and lesson. You must always be fully prepared mentally. If you were on a battlefield, you might lose your life."

Lin Yongfeng nodded, indicating that he understood. Seeing this, Song Xianyi told him to sit down and adjust himself, and also to observe the other students' martial arts competition. On the other side, Ma Ruoxi didn't feel any regret. She participated in the academy's martial arts competition entirely for the team event. After all, she was only at the third level, but she eliminated a fourth-level student, which reduced the pressure on the fourth-level senior sisters.

Because a magic array had been set up in the arena, external sounds could not reach the arena. The other students were unaware of what was happening and continued to cautiously explore their way forward. Soon, the second pair of students met.

"They've met! Let's see which two students they are." The commentator exclaimed excitedly, "On the left is Hua Anhe, a fourth-level student from Qingfeng Academy, whose elemental attribute is earth. On the right is Cao Hongyun, a fifth-level student from Yunbei Academy! It's another encounter between students of different levels. If the two of them start fighting, Yunbei Academy will really be in trouble."

Cao Hongyun glanced at Hua Anhe across the room, shook his head, and left. He had already memorized the appearances of the other four fifth-level students, and his only target was the other four fifth-level students.

"Cao Hongyun actually left directly. It seems he has realized that Hua An is not on the same level as him. No wonder he is a fifth-level student." This commentary is very professional and can really stir up the audience's emotions.

As they continued to move, more and more students met in the arena, and fierce battles broke out one after another. However, there were no more eliminations due to the fact that the students were not of the same level. Watching these battles, the audience kept exclaiming in admiration and surprise. Tang Wan was also a little overwhelmed by the number of battles, but she still watched intently. However, in the eyes of Su Yang and Lin Anlan, these battles were too childish, so much so that Lin Anlan began to feel sleepy and leaned against Su Yang's shoulder, ready to fall asleep at any moment.

In Su Yang's eyes, this competition format was somewhat like a battle royale game, except that some rules were set up in the middle. Overall, it was quite attractive, since people in this world did not know about this kind of gameplay, and Su Yang had never seen elemental martial arts competitions before.

Immediately afterward, the commentator's sudden shout startled Lin Anlan, who was about to fall asleep: "It's here! Ladies and gentlemen, the battle that is about to take place is between Tang Tianyu, a fifth-level student from the Demon Land Academy, and Ren Shuangwen, a fifth-level student from the Green Maple Academy!"
