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

"What's going on?" Zhuang Song, the dean of Yunbei Academy, couldn't sit still any longer. He didn't understand why his academy's first team would be eliminated at the same time. Could it be that the two of them encountered the main force of the other two academies at the same time?

The mystery was quickly solved. It turned out that Tang Tianyu and Huang Lewei had met up after each eliminating one person, intending to hide themselves and avoid being eliminated by the other main force of the newly entered academies. Unexpectedly, while looking for a hiding place, they ran into the two from Yunbei Academy and easily took them down one by one.

Knowing that Yunbei Academy had no chance of winning, Zhuang Song angrily left his seat and refused to watch the rest of the competition. Cao Hongyun helplessly led the remaining people into the arena. They couldn't just give up on the competition; that would be too disrespectful to Yunbei Academy's reputation as one of the five great academies.

On the Qinwang Academy side, both of them hid very well. Wan Qingxue had been silently observing the entry of the main force of the other three academies in order to judge the composition of their biggest opponent, the first team of the Modi Academy. Xu Wu was also trying his best to analyze the situation outside the arena. Because there was no elimination information, he couldn't figure out the composition of the first team of each academy for the time being, but he still made a judgment based on the number of people remaining in each team.

"Judging from the fact that two people were eliminated at the same time just now, and Yunbei Academy entered the competition again, the eliminated team should be Yunbei Academy's first team. It is highly likely that they were eliminated by the same academy, most likely Modi Academy. If Yunbei Academy's first team consists of a fourth-tier and a third-tier member, then Modi Academy's configuration is at least a fourth-tier and a third-tier member, or a fifth-tier and a fourth-tier member, and it is highly likely that a fifth-tier member is present," Xu Wu analyzed.

"Why is it highly likely that a fifth-tier being present?" Li Hufeng didn't understand.

"The simultaneous elimination indicates that the battle occurred at the same time, and the two sides were vastly different in strength. If a fifth-tier cultivator had dealt with one of them before sending reinforcements, there would have been a time difference, preventing them from being eliminated simultaneously. Therefore, the Demon Land Academy must have sent Tang Tianyu to the arena," Xu Wu continued.

“If Tang Tianyu were here, he would definitely hide himself to avoid being surrounded. Then Qingxue and Ke Chen would only need to remain hidden and let the other three teams fight amongst themselves.” He added, recalling his own elimination the previous day due to poor planning, “…”

"But if the other three teams join forces, the situation will be dire. Yunbei Academy is currently the weakest. The other two teams may wipe them out first, and then join forces to deal with Modi Academy and us. Now it's a contest of endurance, to see who can hide the best. So Qingxue and Kechen must hold out until the last one is found, otherwise we are very likely to fail."

Xu Wu placed all his hopes on Wan Qingxue and Ke Chen, and the situation did indeed turn out as he predicted. The four students from Qingfeng Academy and the four students from Tianling Academy joined forces. They originally intended to eliminate the students from Modi Academy and Qinwang Academy first, but they encountered Yunbei Academy, who had just entered the arena. Seeing that the other side only had three people, Ren Shuangwen and Mao Jianxing exchanged a glance and immediately started fighting.

The battle ended very quickly. Eight people surrounded and attacked three people, and in less than ten minutes, Yunbei Academy was completely eliminated. The location of their battle was not far from where Tang Tianyu and Huang Lewei were hiding. Seeing how fierce the battle was outside, Huang Lewei was unable to control his fighting instincts. Tang Tianyu used elemental power to stop him. It was this use of elemental power that exposed their location.

Knowing he was no match for the group, Tang Tianyu tried to run away with Huang Lewei, but Huang Lewei had already rushed over and started attacking Guo Yangyun of Tianling Academy without regard for anything else. Seeing that he could no longer control the situation, Tang Tianyu retreated alone.

The stone tablet flashed twice more. It turned out that Huang Lewei was staring intently at Guo Yangyun, who was at the third level. His gaze was chilling. Guo Yangyun was so frightened that he ran away as fast as he could. The other seven people surrounded Huang Lewei and finally eliminated him. However, before he was eliminated, he also eliminated Guo Yangyun. Thus, only three people remained in Tianling Academy.

However, Ren Shuangwen was very loyal and did not start a war with Tianling Academy because of this. She knew that she could not eliminate Tianling Academy before Modi Academy and Qinwang Academy were eliminated, otherwise she would not last long before being eliminated by the other two academies. Her goal was to win the championship and prove herself.

With Huang Lewei's elimination, the remaining members of Modi Academy have entered the competition. Currently, Qinwang Academy has become the neglected one, and Qingfeng and Tianling's allied team has set their sights on Modi Academy.

"The Magic Land Academy has entered! That's great!" Xu Wu's excitement was palpable. "Well done, Qingxue and Ke Chen!"

Li Hufeng, however, voiced his concern: "What if the three teams form an alliance to search for Qingxue and the others?"

“Impossible.” Xu Wu shook his head, categorically denying Li Hufeng’s guess: “Although we don’t know the elimination situation, Tang Tianyu absolutely cannot be eliminated. It can only be that one of the three academies from Modi Academy swaps with one of the other two academies. Right now, there is another academy with only three people left, and they will absolutely not agree to form an alliance with Modi Academy. If the three academies form an alliance and eliminate us, then Modi Academy will mainly withdraw from the alliance and look for an opportunity to eliminate the academy with only three people. The winner will be Modi Academy. We are all here for the championship, and the situation you described will absolutely not happen.”

He paused, then added, "But if we let the Demon Land Academy get eliminated, we'll be next soon. So we should ally with the Demon Land Academy first, eliminate the other two teams, and then fight the Demon Land Academy. Whether the Demon Land Academy is missing a fourth-tier or a third-tier member, I'm confident I can defeat them!"

Luck seemed to favor Qinwang Academy and Xu Wu. The allied team quickly found the group from Modi Academy. Before Tang Tianyu could say anything, a fierce battle broke out. Tang Tianyu had no choice but to fight and retreat. In the end, under the siege, Gao Xiangwen of Modi Academy was eliminated, which further tipped the scales of victory in favor of Qinwang Academy.

Wan Qingxue and Ke Chen, who followed closely behind, witnessed the siege of the Demon Land Academy. After seeing the alliance team's resolute attitude, Wan Qingxue couldn't help but worry. She also believed that if the Demon Land Academy were to be completely eliminated, it would definitely not be a good thing for her team.

Xu Wu wasn't around, and she didn't know his specific plans, but she subconsciously felt that Xu Wu and the others had to enter the fray. At least they couldn't let the alliance continue their encirclement and annihilation. So she mustered her courage and said to Ke Chen beside her, "Junior Brother Ke, we must let Senior Brother Xu and the others enter the fray, otherwise we are very likely to lose. I'm just sorry to trouble you."

Ke Chen understood that he was just a sacrifice. He didn't complain, but asked firmly, "Senior sister, what do you need me to do?"

"Go out and stop them from pursuing the Demon Land Academy, giving them a chance to escape," Wan Qingxue said reluctantly.

Upon receiving the order, Ke Chen left the hiding place without looking back, rushed out of the bushes and chased after the enemy, shouting as he ran, "I'm here, come and eliminate me!", while simultaneously unleashing his elemental attack.

His obstruction allowed the Demon Land Academy to escape successfully, but at the same time, Ke Chen was eliminated in the siege, drawing the attention of the alliance team to the Qinwang Academy.

As the stone tablet flickered, Xu Wu realized it was time for him and the others to enter.
