Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

They exchanged a glance, wondering what was special about this training session.

The carriage bumped and jolted outside Wuhun City, heading towards an unknown destination.

The scenery outside the carriage window gradually became desolate, and the carriage finally stopped in a quiet valley.

After the three got out of the car, they looked around and saw that they were surrounded by a dense forest, quiet and mysterious.

Hu Liena asked again:

"Teacher, are you going to take us on a field training exercise?"

"Ah."

Lin Zhendong nodded and then said:

"The content of this training is a challenge that is beyond our level."

"A challenge beyond one's level?"

The three asked in unison, their faces showing surprise.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, three figures suddenly appeared in the distance and slowly walked towards them.

Lin Zhendong explained:

"I have arranged a Soul King-level opponent for each of you three. Your task is to defeat them."

This isn't a fighting arena, but it's even more brutal because there are no restrictions on the area; victory or defeat is determined entirely by strength.

You must treat this place as a real battlefield, treat them as real enemies, and make the most of the terrain to maximize your respective strengths.

If you cannot defeat your respective opponents, the mission will continue until you achieve victory.

After listening to the teacher's explanation, the three of them exchanged glances.

An opponent at the Soul King level means that they are more than ten levels higher than them.

The task seemed daunting, but the three of them had excitement and anticipation in their eyes.

Challenging opponents stronger than oneself makes it easier to unleash one's potential.

However, they were also well aware that the possibility of failure was greater, after all, level ten soul power was a significant gap.

The three people quickly arrived in front of everyone.

One was burly, one was tall and thin, and the other was rather short but looked shrewd.

Judging from their appearance, they are all close to thirty years old.

Yan has no information about these three people in his memory.

Clearly, these three individuals are not teachers at the Spirit Hall Academy; they are likely people working for the Spirit Hall.

The fact that no one was familiar with the three people's martial spirits and soul skills undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the challenge.

Chapter 18 Super Defense, Diamond Mammoth

The three Soul Kings stood there silently, like three insurmountable mountain peaks.

They didn't speak, and didn't even glance at Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena.

He simply nodded slightly to Lin Zhendong.

This silent attitude seemed to reveal an unspoken contempt for the three young people.

Lin Zhendong responded with an almost polite nod, then turned to face Yan and the other two, his eyes shining with a serious and expectant light.

"are you ready?"

"Ready."

The three answered in unison, their voices revealing firmness and determination.

"So, who comes first?"

Lin Zhendong's gaze swept over the three of them.

Xie Yue stepped forward without hesitation.

"Teacher Lin, let me go first."

Lin Zhendong expressed his appreciation for Xie Yue's courage and nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, then you can show us your skills first."

Then, he turned to Yan and Hu Liena and said:

"You two get ready too. Today is the first day of special training, and you're allowed to watch from the sidelines and see how your teammates lose. However, starting tomorrow, you'll be facing challenges together."

Lin Zhendong's words carried a hint of disdain for the three of them, as if their defeat was already inevitable.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena frowned, a surge of competitive spirit rising within her.

She hates to accept defeat, even when facing an opponent stronger than herself.

Unlike Hu Liena, Yan remained calm and composed throughout.

He knew that even in failure, he could learn valuable lessons and prepare for the challenges to come.

Under everyone's gaze, Xie Yue walked forward with his head held high, and his opponent, the two-meter-tall, burly Soul Master, also came forward without showing any weakness.

The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Xie Yue clenched his fists and politely introduced himself:

"Xie Yue, a level 41 offensive Soul Master, please enlighten me."

The person opposite also returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute:

"Ye Hao, a level 52 defensive-type Battle Soul King, please give me your guidance."

Upon hearing that his opponent was a defensive-type Soul Master, Xie Yue's heart stirred slightly.

He originally thought he would face a powerful opponent who was either offensive or control-type, but he didn't expect it to be a defensive-type Soul Master.

Compared to offensive and control-type Soul Masters, support and defense-type Soul Masters seem easier to deal with because their attack power is not as strong.

Even so, Xie Yue did not let his guard down.

Although defensive-type Soul Masters have relatively weak attack power, their defensive capabilities are not to be underestimated. Moreover, the opponent's Soul Power has reached level 52, which is more than 10 levels higher than his.

Upon learning that her brother's opponent was a defensive-type Soul Master, Hu Liena couldn't help but smile.

She knew that her brother Xie Yue's self-created soul skill "Full Moon" had powerful attack capabilities and might actually be able to break through the defenses of that level 52 defensive soul king.

This is not only a test, but also an opportunity to prove myself.

She silently cheered for her brother, hoping he could win the challenge.

The competition officially begins.

A sharp glint flashed in Xie Yue's eyes as he quickly mobilized his soul power and unleashed his Moon Blade Martial Soul.

Behind him, the moon blade gleamed with a cold light, like a crescent moon hanging in the sky, sharp and mysterious.

The four soul rings, with two yellow and two purple rings in the best configuration, surrounded him, demonstrating his Soul Master level strength.

Faced with Xie Yue's challenge, Ye Hao showed no weakness and immediately released his martial soul and soul rings.

Yan and Hu Liena both focused their attention on him, eagerly anticipating what kind of martial spirit he would display.

Suddenly, a huge beast slowly emerged from behind Ye Hao.

It stands majestically like a mountain, giving people a sense of indestructibility.

At the same time, five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—surrounded Ye Hao, shimmering with dazzling light.

That black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring, surrounded by dark light, exuded an aura of dominance.

Hu Liena was completely stunned when she saw this.

She never imagined that Ye Hao's martial soul would be a diamond mammoth!

The Diamond Mammoth is a top-tier martial soul with extremely high defensive capabilities. Its main characteristics are unparalleled strength and indestructible defense.

This martial spirit is unique to the direct disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect, which is why the Elephant Armor Sect is known as the strongest defensive sect on the continent.

Ye Hao's five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—are also the best spirit ring configuration, which demonstrates his talent and strength.

At this moment, Ye Hao stood before Xie Yue like an unshakeable mountain, awaiting the challenge that was about to come.

Xie Yue's eyes were solemn. He knew that the level 52 defensive battle spirit king opposite him had extremely strong defensive power.

Therefore, he chose to launch a probing attack in order to find out his opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

As his first spirit ring suddenly shone brightly, Xie Yue abruptly activated his first spirit skill—Moon Wheel Flying Blade—and several moon-blade-shaped energy waves shot rapidly toward Ye Hao.

However, these attacks were like a stone thrown into the ocean, failing to make any ripples in the face of Diamond Mammoth's impenetrable defenses.

"It's really strong!"

Xie Yue was not discouraged; he had anticipated this situation.

The Diamond Mammoth is renowned for its formidable defense in the world of Soul Masters.
