Pokémon: Master System.

Mental strength!

Seeing that both Pokémon had launched their attacks, a glint of light flashed in Xia Yu's eyes!

It's now.

"Darkrai, Dark Hole!"

"Flame Ace, change fields!"

Upon hearing Xia Yu's command, Darkrai and Cinderace acted almost simultaneously.

Generally, energy surges, and the energy exchange between the two sides occurs almost instantly.

The mysterious protective abilities that originally guarded the Claydol and the Bronze Bell have been transferred to Cinderace and Darkrai.

Meanwhile, Darkrai, watching the bronze bell rushing towards him, unleashed an astonishing burst of Dark-type energy.

A black energy ball formed in the air and flew towards the bronze bell and the psychic clay figure!

"boom!"

Bronze Bell, who was pouncing, had no time to dodge. Its body slammed into Darkrai, instantly inflicting severe damage on Darkrai. At the same time, Dark Hole entered Bronze Bell's body.

An endless darkness surged in, as if dragging it into a world of darkness!

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, the massive bronze bell plummeted to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side, the Psychic Claydot, who was using Psychic, immediately stopped its skill when it saw Darkrai use Dark Void. It floated to the side and dodged Darkrai's Dark Void skill!

Two in one.

Although it wasn't the most perfect result, Xia Yu could completely accept it!

Darkrai, nightmare!

As Xia Yu's voice rang out, ghost-type energy surged from Darkrai's body, invading Bronze Bell's body like a vengeful ghost and beginning to continuously drain Bronze Bell's stamina.

As long as the bronze bell remains dormant, it will continue to lose its strength.

At the same time, Darkrai's Nightmare ability activates, causing Bronze Bell, who is in a sleep state, to continuously lose HP.

The nightmare, combined with the Nightmare trait, caused Bronze Bell's already limited stamina to rapidly deplete! At the current rate, Bronze Bell will lose all its stamina in just a few breaths, and it definitely won't last until it wakes up.

Now all we need to do is focus on taking down the psychic clay golems!

However, at that moment, the psychic clay doll suddenly burst forth with amazing light and Normal-type energy.

"This is... a massive explosion?!"

Xia Yu never expected that the psychic clay golems also knew that the game was lost and their only chance was to use the Big Bang skill to draw the game. Therefore, they chose to use the Big Bang skill at this moment, going all out!

"Flash Ace, defend!"

Xia Yu gritted his teeth. While Cinderace, who had never used the Protect skill, could naturally use it, Darkrai had no means to protect itself.

Using the Big Bang move on a small, circular field is just too cheap.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, a visible shockwave, accompanied by a massive plume of smoke, spread outwards. However, when the shockwave reached the lightning net at the edge of the circular arena, it seemed to be instantly swallowed up.

The aftershocks of the battle were confined within the circular arena!

…………

The smoke slowly dissipated, and the lightning net at the boundary of the circular field had vanished without a trace.

Bronze Bell, Claymore, and Darkrai all lay motionless on the ground, having lost all their fighting abilities, leaving only Cinderace still standing in place.

"We finally won." Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief; it was his first time fighting like this.

"Challenger, congratulations... you can... enter... the next level." The bronze bell and the psychic clay puppet, which had previously lost all their strength, instantly regained all their strength, and their power steadily increased, climbing to the terrifying Master level in Xia Yu's astonished gaze!

【Psychic Clay Doll】: Master-level strength, cannot be subdued, and cannot leave the first level of the Dragon Spiral Tower's secret realm.

【Bronze Bell】: Master-level strength, cannot be subdued, and cannot leave the first level of the Dragon Spiral Tower secret realm.

"This is... a reward... for... you. You... can... choose... one from it."

Three bronze treasure chests appeared before Xia Yu's eyes.

…………

Chapter 539 Thunderous Glory, Awe-inspiring Power (Part 5)

【Light Clay (S-rank)】: When the Pokémon holding it uses Light Screen or Reflect, the effect lasts longer than usual.

Looking at the three bronze treasure chests in front of him, Xia Yu directly used the system's ability to cheat and found that there were two A-level items and one S-level item in the three treasure chests.

Xia Yu naturally chose the only S-rank item, Light Clay, without hesitation.

Immediately following, a suction force came, and Xia Yu felt a dizzying sensation. When he came to his senses, he found himself on the second level of the secret realm of the Dragon Spiral Tower.

…………

Azure sea, blue sky and white clouds, blazing sun.

A gentle breeze blows, and the tide rises and falls.

Once she regained consciousness, Xia Yu stared blankly at the beautiful scenery before her.

Beneath the lake's surface, countless ancient coelacanths swam in the sea, waving their thick tails.

This reminded Xia Yu of the second passage in the Qi family's record about the Dragon Spiral Tower.

Ancient coelacanths roam Moon Bay.

So it seems that this secret place should be called Moon Bay.

The first level of the secret realm tests pure tactics, strength, attribute counters, and skill combinations. So what does the second level of the secret realm test?

Xia Yu's gaze fell on the Ancient Resilient Fish. This second level of the test was definitely related to the Ancient Resilient Fish and the vast ocean.

He stood up and looked around, realizing that he seemed to be on a deserted island, surrounded by the sea, with only a distant island in the distance.

Xia Yu released the Sonic Dragon, rode on its back, and began searching for useful clues along the coastline.

After searching for some time, he finally found a useful clue in the shallows outside the beach.

…………

Beyond the secret realm. The ruins of the Huayang Kingdom.

The sudden appearance of this secret realm immediately caused a sensation, and some of the bolder onlookers even followed Xia Yu's footsteps and rushed into the secret realm.

This newly discovered secret realm, though fraught with danger, also offers great rewards.

And the world has no shortage of desperados.

Those with courage choose to risk their lives for a chance at wealth, while those with less courage and less confidence in their abilities stay put, taking videos and photos and uploading them online.

It instantly went viral online, causing a frenzy across the entire internet.

Upon receiving this information, the Pokémon Association immediately dispatched personnel to seal off the scene and sent people to investigate the suddenly appearing mysterious secret realm.

Among them, Li Yunyao, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Southwest Region and the Flying Heavenly King, was the first to arrive at the scene. Upon arrival, he immediately took over the work here, sealed off the entire secret realm gate, and cleared out tourists, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.

A dozen minutes later, Lü Tinghe also arrived at the scene.

…………

"That's... Lü Guanjun!"

"Why did he come in person?"

"This secret realm... it actually requires the champion to personally take action, what kind of secret realm is this?"

…………

When Xia Yu explored the second level of the secret realm, Lü Tinghe's figure had already appeared near the secret realm.

Lü Tinghe's appearance immediately caused a huge uproar.

Everyone began to speculate about the origins of this suddenly appearing secret realm, which required the intervention of a regional champion.

Under normal circumstances, the appearance of a secret realm only requires the intervention of the Four Heavenly Kings.

…………

"Old Lü!" Li Yunyao shouted as he saw Lü Tinghe appear, and then quickly walked towards Lü Tinghe.

"Hmm." Lü Tinghe nodded, his face full of authority, his steps steady. After responding, he and Li Yunyao walked into the makeshift conference room, sat in the main seat, and turned his gaze to the secret realm gate beside him: "How many people are in the secret realm now?"

“There are still quite a few…” Li Yunyao said with a serious expression, “When the secret realm appeared, there were tourists everywhere. Anyone with a bit of strength and ambition chose to enter the secret realm to try their luck. Although most people have been stopped by the first level of the secret realm and have retreated, there are still some people trying to enter the first level of the secret realm.”

Lu Tinghe nodded, then asked, "What exactly is the situation in the first level of the secret realm?"

“Let me tell you the specifics of this secret realm first. This secret realm is the same as what I told you on the phone. This secret realm… should be the legendary Dragon Spiral Tower.” Li Yunyao looked at Lü Tinghe with a serious expression: “We learned from those who left the secret realm that everyone is currently trapped on the first floor.”

"The first level of the secret realm is guarded by two Pokémon, Claydol and Bronze Bell, whose strength is at the level of a Gym Leader. You can send two Pokémon to battle them, but the strength of all Pokémon will be suppressed to the level of a Gym Leader, and their Trick Room tactics are very difficult to deal with. Currently... no one has been able to pass through."

Lu Tinghe nodded, then looked at Li Yunyao: "Didn't you give it a try?"

“I need to take charge of the overall situation. This time, it’s a Level One Mysterious Realm.” Li Yunyao said with a wry smile. Of course, he also wanted to explore the secret realm, but this secret realm was different. It was a Level One God’s secret realm, and someone had to be present to oversee it. “The temptation is too great. I believe many people are already on their way. Even I might not be able to hold it off… That’s why I reported to you immediately.”
