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

With the conclusion of the fifth and third tier individual duels, the fourth tier battles also quickly came to an end. Among the fourth tier group, the Xu brothers, Xu Wen and Xu Wu, from Qinwang Academy, have always cooperated seamlessly, and this time in their individual duels, they showcased an astonishing level of teamwork to the audience.

When the last four students in the fourth tier were fighting, Xu Wu was the first to win his battle. On the other side, Xu Wen fought against Jiang Xiao from Tianling Academy, who was also a fourth-tier seventh-level student. Although the students did not know the specific elemental level and other information of their opponents beforehand, Xu Wu, who was good at strategy, still saw the clues from the battle between the two.

He knew his brother Xu Wen's elemental rank and strength. Seeing that Jiang Xiao and Xu Wen could fight for a long time without being evenly matched, he guessed that Jiang Xiao's strength was definitely higher than his own fourth-rank, fifth-level strength. If Xu Wen won, he could simply forfeit. If Jiang Xiao won, he would have to face him. But who knew if Jiang Xiao had any hidden tricks up his sleeve?

Weighing the pros and cons, Xu Wu concluded that he was destined not to win the championship title, and he immediately made the most rational decision. Meanwhile, Xu Wen and Jiang Xiao were locked in a fierce battle, both focused solely on their own fight, when Xu Wu suddenly appeared from the side, his sword aimed directly at Xu Wen.

The sudden turn of events left Jiang Xiao bewildered. He instinctively distanced himself from Xu Wen. Xu Wen received Xu Wu's weak and feeble attack. Upon realizing that Xu Wu's attack had no power, he immediately understood his intention and launched his own attack, but Xu Wu successfully blocked it. Just as Jiang Xiao was wondering what had happened, the referee appeared and indicated that Xu Wu and Jiang Xiao had violated the rule against using external forces, thus eliminating them both. He then immediately announced Xu Wen as the champion of the fourth-tier martial arts competition.

Faced with this situation, Xu Wen didn't say anything, but instead raised his sword to show off his glory, as if it were all within his expectations. Jiang Xiao's anger was completely ignited. He loudly questioned the referee's decision, believing that it was a conspiracy by the Xu brothers to deliberately use the rules to eliminate him.

Even if he was exposed, so what? The referee didn't give him any chance and directly announced the end of the one-on-one competition. Xu Wu even pretended to be remorseful and then went to congratulate his brother on winning the championship. Jiang Xiao gritted his teeth and wished he could kill Xu Wu on the spot, but the referee quickly began to clear the field, and he could only leave the competition venue.

"This is supposed to be a strategy, but it's really just the work of a despicable person..." Su Yang couldn't help but complain in his heart. It was only afternoon, and after watching the martial arts competition for most of the day, the three of them felt a little tired. But considering that they had to get up very early in the morning and that the journey back was long, Tang Wan suggested that they find another inn in Beicheng to stay for two nights to avoid the fatigue of traveling back and forth. Su Yang and Lin Anlan agreed, so they found an inn to rest that day.

The next day, having learned from their previous experience, the three arrived at the venue early and successfully secured front-row seats. Soon after they sat down, the entire venue was filled with people, and the team battle soon began with Ye Heyi's announcement.

The team battle was even more like a battle royale than the individual duel, except that Zhu Ning had broken through to the sixth rank, so he was replaced. The five teams from the five academies were distributed in different locations on the field. The tactics of each academy were to first lie in wait and then wait for an opportunity. This made the first half of the team battle completely unwatchable. Each team was just scouting and there was no actual fighting.

This situation seemed to be within the organizers' expectations. Because of the individual competition on the first day, each academy had thoroughly investigated the elemental rank and combat power of the other students. After giving each team ample time to investigate, Ye Heyi announced: "From this moment on, the referee team will create an elemental barrier. The barrier will gradually shrink over time, and the battlefield will also become smaller to facilitate the competition. Please be prepared."

Before long, an orange ring-shaped elemental barrier appeared around the arena, forcing each team to take action quickly. "Ladies and gentlemen, we can see that Qinwang Academy has adopted a more conservative tactic due to Zhu Ning's replacement. They are advancing slowly according to their tactics. Judging from the current situation, their first target should be the weaker Qingfeng Academy." The commentator remained dedicated, delivering his commentary with passion despite the tedious nature of the competition.

As expected, it wasn't long before Qinwang Academy encountered Ren Shuangwen, who was acting alone. Seeing that the enemy had a large number of people, Ren Shuangwen immediately retreated, and Qinwang Academy followed closely in pursuit. However, when they reached a valley, Ren Shuangwen stopped and turned back to prepare for battle.

Seeing this, Xu Wu immediately ordered the team to stop. In an instant, everyone stood still, displaying perfect discipline. Xu Wu frowned as he looked at Ren Shuangwen in the valley, then surveyed the surrounding terrain. He then whispered to his teammates, "This valley is ideal for an ambush. Qingfeng Academy intends to ambush us, but this tactic is too simplistic. While an ambush might be effective, their overall strength is inferior to ours. Even if they ambush us, it won't have much impact. They must know this. What I'm wondering is, why are they doing this?"

Xu Wen chimed in, "Maybe they just want to defeat us by ambush."

"Not necessarily. Those who can participate in the academy's martial arts competition are not ordinary people. I'm afraid they have ulterior motives," analyzed Li Hufeng, the fifth-tier student who joined in place of Zhu Ning.

"Qingxue, when you were investigating earlier, you were in charge of Qingfeng Academy. Did you find anything?" Xu Wu asked Wan Qingxue, who was standing to the side.

"They were also investigating at that time. The first one I discovered was Ren Shuangwen. About a hundred meters away were two fourth-level students, and another hundred meters away were the last two students." Wan Qingxue used her cloud attribute to conceal herself and discovered the movements of Qingfeng Academy.

Upon hearing this discovery, Xu Wu pondered for a moment and then made his own judgment: "There is no ambush in the valley. Ren Shuangwen must be using this to cover her teammates' retreat. She is gambling that we believe there is an ambush in the valley and will change our strategy. We must attack immediately and not let her delay any longer!"

As soon as Xu Wu finished speaking, his brother Xu Wen rushed into the valley. Li Hufeng quickly followed, knowing that Xu Wen alone was no match for Ren Shuangwen. Wan Qingxue and Ke Chen also wanted to follow, but Xu Wu stopped them, saying, "We'll just pass right by Ren Shuangwen and make her think we're going to chase after her. While she's distracted, we'll create an opportunity for Li Hufeng and my brother to turn around and eliminate her."

After agreeing on a strategy, the three rushed over at top speed. At this time, Ren Shuangwen was already fighting with Li Hufeng and Xu Wen. After Xu Wu and the other two rushed past her, she immediately realized that something was wrong and that her plan had been seen through. So she quickly generated several flying swords and intercepted the three of them.

Seeing that Ren Shuangwen was indeed distracted by his actions, Xu Wu's guess was confirmed. After a moment's thought, he immediately came up with a better tactic. After blocking the incoming flying sword, he deliberately shouted to the remaining two, "Full speed ahead, catch up with the rest of the Qingfeng Academy!"
