Dugu Tian unleashed full-force strikes equivalent to a Fifth-stage and then Sixth-stage Grandmaster against the Five Elements Xuanwu Formation, which held firm, astonishing the warriors inside and filling them with confidence. Lin Dong declared defense alone insufficient for victory and introduced the Three Thousand Sword Formation as their offensive counterpart. With Ye Linglong as the core wielding the Spirit Snake Rope, the formation took shape under his guidance, prompting him to ask Dugu Tian to test its power.

Lin Dong positioned himself in front of the array, eyes sharp as he fixed his stare on Dugu Tian ahead, a trace of eagerness stirring in his heart.

He understood this trial examined not just the might of the Three Thousand Sword Formation but also posed a major challenge for Ye Linglong and her whole team.

Until this point, even Lin Dong remained uncertain about the full extent of power Ye Linglong and her squad could unleash with this Sword Formation.

"Senior Dugu, sorry to trouble you again." Lin Dong spoke in a firm, resonant tone, each word carrying deep respect and faith in Dugu Tian.

Dugu Tian offered a faint smile, nodded, and responded, "War God Lin, should I employ the defensive power of a few Stage Grandmasters against this Three Thousand Sword Formation? Or should I use the fifth-stage Grandmaster?"

After a brief pause, Lin Dong nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Senior Dugu, please use the defensive power of a fifth-stage Grandmaster."

"We want to know what kind of power this Three Thousand Sword Formation can display when faced with such a level of defense."

Dugu Tian's lips curved into a playful grin upon hearing this, grasping Lin Dong's aims and the weight of this test.

He then gently shut his eyes, drew a deep breath, and his Inner Qi churned wildly within like raging rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Moments later, a subtle spiritual radiance gathered around him, unleashing the fifth-stage Grandmaster's defensive barrier in a flash, akin to an unseen shield enveloping him securely.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong directed his attention to Ye Linglong, the vibrant and poised woman.

She stood at the core of the Three Thousand Sword Formation, clutching the Spirit Snake Rope that shimmered with spiritual glow, her gaze blending resolve and unease.

As the Main Array Person, she carried substantial responsibility, and she knew it full well.

"Ye Linglong, use the Three Thousand Sword Formation to attack Senior Dugu!" Lin Dong's command thundered across the night sky, instantly igniting Ye Linglong's battle spirit.

With a nod, she inhaled deeply, then flung her arms, sending the Spirit Snake Rope tracing graceful loops in the air like a serpent bursting forth, directing three thousand Spirit Swords in a fierce howl toward Dugu Tian.

"Boom!" At Ye Linglong’s order, the Three Thousand Sword Formation exploded into action, each blade alive as they twisted and swirled mid-air, crafting a flawless Sword Net that surged at Dugu Tian.

Sword Light blazed, sword cries echoed, as if heaven and earth quivered before the clash.

Dugu Tian sensed the formidable Sword Qi bearing down, a flicker of astonishment in his eyes.

The Three Thousand Sword Formation's might caught him off guard, making even his fifth-stage Grandmaster defense waver unstably.

"Crack!" A faint fracturing noise resounded, as cracks spiderwebbed across Dugu Tian’s defensive barrier under the Sword Formation's relentless barrage.

His heart clenched, aware this was the decisive juncture.

Without a second's delay, he tapped into profounder Spiritual Power reserves, boosting his defense to sixth-stage Grandmaster caliber, a tougher shield instantly sheathing his form.

Still, the Sword Formation's assault raged on with savage intensity, bent on ripping apart every hindrance.

Waves of potent Sword Qi hammered his barriers nonstop, each strike jolting his body faintly.

He realized a failure to hold now could leave him truly wounded.

Right then, Dugu Tian’s defenses buckled under the Sword Formation's brutal onslaught and burst apart with a resounding boom.

Yet, in that vital instant, his lightning reflexes and deep Cultivation allowed him to summon a superior defense, repelling the lethal force.

"Senior Dugu, are you okay?" Lin Dong rushed up and inquired of Dugu Tian.

Sweat drenched Dugu Tian, stunned by the Sword Formation’s overwhelming strength.

I underestimated the power of this Sword Formation.

Thankfully, as a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, he endured; a mere fifth-stage Grandmaster, or even a sixth-stage one with weaker defenses, would have been blasted aside.

"War God Lin, your Sword Formation is truly terrifying." Dugu Tian coughed hoarsely, sweat streaming as he spoke.

Inwardly, he mused, "You are even more terrifying!"

A terrifying Sword Formation meant its instructor was all the more fearsome.

Lin Dong exhaled in relief, then responded, "It’s okay."

The Three Thousand Sword Formation's prowess filled him with great satisfaction too.

This test's outcome had surpassed all their projections.

Such might from the Three Thousand Sword Formation would strike terror into any adversary.

Ye Linglong, serving as Main Array Person, exhibited remarkable leadership and finesse in wielding Spiritual Power.

The night breeze swept in, clearing the airborne dust and lingering strain.

Ye Linglong and the three thousand soldiers heaved sighs of profound relief.

The Three Thousand Sword Formation's recent display thrilled them all to the core.

Ye Linglong and those assembled fully grasped this test's deep implications.

"Was I dreaming just now? Our Sword Formation almost injured Lord Dugu Tian?"

"That’s because Senior Dugu Tian didn’t use his strongest defense. If he used the Sky Boundary Saint Body, how could we break his defense and injure him?"

"But Lord Dugu Tian used the defensive power of a fifth-stage Grandmaster. That’s already very strong! This means we can break through the defense of a fifth-stage Grandmaster!"

"Oh my, I never thought I, a mere Sect Master, could break the defense of a fifth-stage Grandmaster."

"Neither did I, a Martial Arts Master who is like an ant before Grandmasters, ever think that one day I would be part of a Sword Formation capable of breaking the defense of a Stage Five Grandmaster."

"And I am merely a mortal. Up until now, I still feel like I’m dreaming!"

"..."

Incredulity gripped the three thousand Soldiers. Their eyes now burned with an unparalleled spark of excitement.

The Five Elements Xuanwu Formation had filled them with awe for their defensive capabilities, letting them believe they could dominate any foe defensively in team battles.

Now, the Three Thousand Sword Formation granted them the boldness and certainty to shatter any enemy's defenses in those matches.

With offense and defense both so formidable, who in team matches could stand against them?

"This time, we must win first place in the team matches as well!" Ye Linglong and the rest thought, brimming with unshakeable confidence.

Having imparted the Five Elements Xuanwu Formation and Three Thousand Sword Formation, Lin Dong saw his duty done.

"Next, practice on your own here for two days to further improve your mastery of the Five Elements Xuanwu Formation and the Three Thousand Sword Formation," Lin Dong directed.

"Yes!"

Eyes alight with fervor, Ye Linglong and the others roared their response.
