Upon hearing that they would be having a match, Tang San couldn't help but ask, " Grandmaster, who are the opponents you mentioned you've found for us?"
The reason Tang San asked this question was because there were indeed very few people who could be considered opponents for everyone, at least in Dragon's Glory City, they could be counted on one hand.
"Don't worry, Xiao San, your opponents today will definitely satisfy you!" the Grandmaster laughed. "But before that, Qi Ling and Bai Chenxiang, you two come out; you don't need to participate in the trial."
The reasons why Qi Ling and Bai Chenxiang didn't have to participate in the trial were exactly opposite: one was too strong, and the other was too weak. Although Bai Chenxiang was very unwilling, she could only comfort herself and work harder in the future.
"Alright, Grandmaster, stop keeping us in suspense. Who exactly is our opponent?" Ma Hongjun, eager to impress Bai Chenxiang, couldn't help but rub his hands together and ask.
Just after Ma Hongjun finished speaking, a sword suddenly descended from the sky and landed right in front of everyone. Then, Sword Douluo Chen Xin slowly walked over and said, "The one who will be your opponent is me."
Upon seeing Chen Xin's figure, Ma Hongjun's arrogance vanished instantly, and he stammered, "No way? Grandmaster, are you going to have Senior Chen Xin become our opponent? Isn't this a joke?"
It should be noted that Chen Xin, a level 97 Super Douluo, possesses the world-renowned Seven Kill Sword as his martial soul, making him an enemy that a group of Soul Saints could not possibly defeat.
The Grandmaster glanced at Ma Hongjun and said, "Of course not!"
Before Ma Hongjun could even catch his breath, the Grandmaster continued, "Besides Senior Chen Xin, I've found you another opponent!"
"Hehehe, really, these old bones of mine can't take such strenuous exercise." With that, Bone Douluo Gu Rong slowly walked out and laughed, "But for Rongrong, I'll try a little harder."
This time, not only Ma Hongjun, but everyone felt a sense of despair. Facing Gu Rong and Chen Xin as opponents? Was there even a point in fighting? They might as well just surrender!
Ning Rongrong looked at her two guardian deities and laughed, " Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu, please go easy on me!"
Gu Rong smiled helplessly and said, "Sorry, Rongrong, we won't hold back in this competition. Otherwise, how can we let you know how dangerous Sea God Island is?"
Chen Xin then added, "That's right. All of you should treat this not as a simple trial, but as a life-or-death struggle!"
Seeing that neither of the two Douluo seemed to be joking, everyone became serious. How long could the Shrek Seven Devils, along with Jian Lan, Yu Tianyi, and Hu Liena, withstand their attacks?
Before the fight began, everyone had considered that there might be a gap between them, but no one expected it to be this large! Facing two Super Douluo at once, the sense of pressure was no joke.
Despite the assistance of Ning Rongrong and Oscar, which somewhat alleviated the gap, neither Tang San's Blue Silver Grass nor Xiao Wu and Hu Liena's Charm were very effective against the two, putting everyone in a predicament from the start.
More importantly, Sword Douluo's attacks are incredibly sharp, while Bone Douluo's defense is impenetrable. The two have been fighting together for countless years, their cooperation is seamless, and the effect they produce is despair-inducing.
The sharpest sword paired with the strongest shield is a near-perfect combination. Sword Douluo's attacks can easily break through everyone's formation, while Bone Douluo's defense can block everyone's attacks, making it a truly perfect combination.
Tang San's strongest single-target attack, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, and Ma Hongjun's most explosive attack were both easily blocked by Gu Rong. Even his bone shield, which he used to block the attacks from everyone, was not damaged in the slightest.
"The difference in Soul Power is too great; we must find another way!" Tang San said. "How can we break through Bone Douluo's defenses?"
" Tang San, perhaps I can give it a try." Just then, Jian Lan suddenly said from the side.
Bone Douluo had blocked everyone's attacks and was feeling triumphant when suddenly a sense of crisis struck him. His unbreakable bone shield had suddenly split in two!
Before Bone Douluo, Jian Lan slowly retracted her Immortal Slayer. A stream of light seemed to flash across the blade before disappearing in an instant.
Seeing this, Bone Douluo couldn't help but smile helplessly and said, "Miscalculation! I overlooked this girl! No matter how strong the defense is, it's useless against her."
The opportunity created by Jian Lan was not to be missed by everyone. Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai immediately rushed forward, intending to deal with Bone Douluo first.
Although Sword Douluo was in charge of the main attack, he did not neglect defense either, forcing the three back with a single sword strike, and the battle immediately became stalemate again.
It can be said that the combination of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo is overwhelming in every aspect. Apart from Jian Lan occasionally causing some trouble, everyone else feels helpless.
Even though Zhu Zhuqing used the Netherworld Domain to try to bypass Bone Douluo's defenses, as soon as she came into contact with Sword Douluo's killing intent, she immediately seemed to be attacked and could only revert to her original form.
Finally, Sword Douluo used a powerful attack that tore through space to force everyone back, ending the competition. The strength of the two was deeply etched in everyone's hearts, making them realize their own weakness.
Without a doubt, everyone present was exceptionally talented and experienced, having even fought many life-or-death battles.
But as the Grandmaster said, as long as they are by Qi Ling's side, they will unconsciously slack off. If they are not reminded from time to time, it will have a great impact on their growth.
"Damn it, they're too strong! We're no match for them!" Ma Hongjun slumped to the ground, saying, " Boss Qi, avenge us! If you faced those two seniors, could you win?"
Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Qi Ling couldn't help but look at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. But just as everyone was filled with anticipation, Qi Ling suddenly laughed and said, "Forget it, if I were to face the two of you as opponents, I'm afraid I would feel the pressure myself."
The purpose of this trial is to rekindle everyone's sense of crisis. What kind of sense of crisis would it be if I defeated two people again?
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo breathed a sigh of relief. Bone Douluo even secretly said to Sword Douluo, "Hey, Chen Xin, do you think we have a chance to win if it really comes to a fight?"
Chen Xin sighed helplessly and said, "There's a chance, but not much! And Gu Rong, you'd better be prepared to be beaten to death by him."
"Uh... never mind then, let's not fight anymore, let's not fight anymore," Gu Rong said, sweating profusely.
