Everyone was surprised that the second round would be a combat assessment. Although the examiners would only strike three times and adjust their strength to the peak of the Spiritual Realm, let's not forget that their physical fitness is not based on Spiritual Sense. Once they make a move, it's very difficult for masters of the Spiritual Realm to withstand these three strikes.
Di Zhu'an is the best example of this.
Although he is strong, Yu Hai is stronger. That's why he was injured after only three strikes, and it's fortunate that the examination stops at the point of contact. If the fight were to continue, Di Zhu'an would undoubtedly be defeated miserably.
