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

As they spoke, the group followed Eden to a tall building in his estate. Eden nodded to the two servants in front of the door, and the two servants stepped forward and pushed open the door.

Upon entering, the first thing you see is a large, square, sunken training field. On both sides of the training field are many separate rooms, as well as many wooden stakes and iron equipment for training. The entire venue is about the size of a football field and is a semi-underground building.

The training ground was located directly below them and was extremely luxurious and professionally designed. It was surrounded by four walls made of drowned stone, and ladders were required to enter and exit. Above the training ground, a large slab of drowned stone was suspended in the air by many iron chains to prevent elemental forces from penetrating the roof.

"It's so good to be rich!" Su Yang couldn't help but sigh. This venue was worlds apart from the training ground he had used in the Tianyun Empire.

Inside the venue, many of Eden's private team members were training. Upon seeing Eden and his group arrive, they all stopped training. Cody quickly walked over and greeted them.

Upon hearing that Cody was going to compete against someone, these people immediately became interested. They quickly set up ladders, cleaned the training ground, and then invited Eden to sit on a chair outside the field to wait and watch. After all, it was usually just their own people competing against each other, so there was nothing new about it.

Once everything was ready, Cody and Su Yang entered the arena one after the other. The drowning stone slab hanging overhead slowly descended until it reached a safe height that would prevent the spectators from being accidentally injured. At the same time, the elemental torches planted around the arena were lit to provide light for the slightly dim arena, and the competition officially began.

Cody drew his bow and arrow, positioned himself, and kept his eyes fixed on Su Yang's every move. However, Su Yang did not react for a long time. For a moment, Cody felt that he was being underestimated. He had thought that Su Yang was very strong, but being underestimated like this made him feel an inexplicable anger.

However, the truth is that Su Yang has not yet fully adapted to the environment. Although the training ground is very spacious, he always feels stuffy in the ground due to the influence of the surrounding and overhead stone walls.

Cody didn't hesitate any longer. A red light appeared on his wrist, followed by a whooshing sound in the air. An arrow, sparkling with fire, shot rapidly toward Su Yang. However, Su Yang was still adjusting to the oppressive atmosphere and didn't notice Cody's actions. In the blink of an eye, the arrow was right in front of Su Yang.

Suddenly, the seemingly ordinary arrow exploded with a deafening roar, and the shockwave sent a scorching heat rushing towards the spectators, demonstrating the arrow's considerable power.

The other members of the private squad cheered at the sight. However, when the smoke and flames cleared, Su Yang stood unharmed in the same spot, as if the attack had not caused any damage. Cody's heart sank when he saw this, but he did not lose heart. Instead, he ran around and launched attacks. In an instant, arrows came one after another towards Su Yang.

Su Yang had finally adapted. Looking at the arrows flying towards him, he thought for a moment and then activated his cloud element, simulating many arrows around him. These arrows flew towards the arrows Cody had shot. Instantly, a series of explosions came from mid-air, and the two arrows collided in mid-air. The middle of the training ground was instantly filled with smoke.

In the dense fog, Cody lost sight of himself, but Su Yang did not. His radar clearly showed Cody's location. Su Yang immediately moved, and the next moment his flight technique was activated. He shot out, and a longsword made of cloud element appeared in his hand. He rushed straight towards Cody's location.

Cody on the other side was still scanning the smoke back and forth, observing the situation, when suddenly Su Yang burst out of the smoke. With the support of the top-level elemental power, his speed was incredibly fast. This was even while deliberately controlling his speed so as not to reveal his true strength.

Cody was shocked and hurriedly tried to attack, but as soon as he made a motion to draw his bow, Su Yang appeared in front of him when he looked up again. The bow and arrow in his hand were immediately cut in half by Su Yang, and the next moment a cloud element longsword was pressed against his neck.

It all happened so fast that the crowd in the stands fell silent. The members of the private team looked at each other, completely speechless. Only Tang Wan excitedly shouted, "Wow! Brother Su Yang's move was so cool!"

As the chains creaked, the Drowning Stone Slab covering the training ground was slowly lifted. Su Yang then stopped his elemental attacks and turned to leave. Just then, Cody's voice rang out behind him: "Please wait a moment!"

Su Yang stopped and turned around. He saw Cody walk up quickly and kneel down in front of him with a thud: "My lord, please forgive my rudeness. Before..." Then, Cody poured out his failed attempt to investigate Su Yang and his desire to test him.

"Just as I thought," Su Yang thought to himself. At this moment, the people in the stands came to the training field, and a call of "Brother" came from there. Su Yang turned his head and saw a boy running quickly to Cody's side, asking him if he was injured.

“Charles, I’m fine, I’m not hurt,” Cody reassured him.

“But that bow…” Charles frowned as he looked at the broken bow on the ground not far away.

“It’s alright, we can just replace the bow if it’s broken. Charles, you will be learning from this master from now on,” Cody said, then earnestly requested Su Yang, “Sir, I humbly request that you take my brother Charles as your apprentice and let him join your adventurer team!”

"Brother! What are you doing? Get up!" Charles seemed unwilling to see his brother kneeling and begging, and kept trying to pull Cody up from the ground. However, Cody pulled Charles down to kneel with him, as if he wouldn't get up until Su Yang agreed.

Su Yang was at a loss for words. He had never been a teacher before, and now that his elemental strength was so great, Su Yang felt that it was just good luck. He hadn't put in much effort or hard work. He felt that he was not qualified to be someone else's teacher, so he remained silent.

Su Yang's silence made Cody think he was refusing, so he could only turn to Eden for help. Eden, having received Cody's plea for help, stepped forward and said, "Brother Su is indeed very strong. Alas, Brother Cody is also a poor man. He has been on the streets since he was a child. If I hadn't taken them in, who knows how much suffering they would have endured."

“Cody’s biggest wish is for his younger brother to have a good life. I watched Charles grow up. This child’s elemental talent is extraordinary. It’s a pity that we haven’t been able to find a teacher to guide him properly. I think it would be better if Brother Su took Charles as his apprentice. This would be an extra help on their future adventures. What do you think?”

Su Yang didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Lin Anlan and Tang Wan for their suggestions. Lin Anlan didn't have any ideas. Cody's performance just now seemed genuine. As for whether or not to take on a disciple, it was up to Su Yang to decide. Tang Wan chimed in, "I think that's a good idea. This way we'll have one more member, and we'll be one step closer to forming a team."

Seeing that someone was speaking up for him, Cody immediately added, "Sir, my talent is not as great as my brother's, and I cannot take him to see a wider world. I hope you will grant my request!" As he spoke, he began to kowtow to Su Yang. Su Yang had never experienced anything like this before, and subconsciously reached out to help him up.

This gesture made Cody believe that Su Yang had agreed, and he was immediately moved to tears, saying, "Thank you, sir!" Then he said to his younger brother, "Charles, quickly, perform the apprenticeship ceremony!"

Without giving Charles a chance to explain, he immediately drew his short sword, pried open Charles's hand, and swiftly made a cross-shaped cut on Charles's palm, no matter how much Charles struggled. Then he removed Charles's bracelet, clenched his fist, and after the blood from his palm stained the bracelet, he pulled Charles to his knees before finally finishing the task.

All of this happened so fast that Su Yang was completely bewildered. Just like that, he took on a disciple, and his team gained another member.
