Pokémon: Master System.

A surge of heat enveloped Xia Yu, as if he were under the blazing sun, with waves of flames scorching his skin.

After Xia Yu arrived at the fourth floor, he had only one feeling: heat.

The billowing heat distorted and blurred the view in Xia Yu's eyes.

The sun was scorching.

The sun in the sky was so dazzling that nothing could be seen except for a vast expanse of white.

Waves of heat surged in, pressing down on Xia Yu like a tidal wave, making it hard for him to breathe. In just a dozen seconds, he was drenched in sweat, his skin burning and red.

"Gyarados, use Rain Dance."

Faced with such a harsh environment, Xia Yu had no choice but to release Gyarados and have it use the Rain Dance move.

However, the water-type energy that Gyarados had just gathered evaporated instantly, and the Rain Dance move had no effect whatsoever.

What the hell is this place?

People are going to die if this continues!

Just as Xia Yu's head was getting heavier, the sunlight suddenly dimmed and the previously overwhelming heat began to subside.

"Gyarados... quick... give me some water." Xia Yu's hoarse voice rang out.

A small splash of water landed on Xia Yu, greatly relieving the scorching heat.

Xia Yu sat on the ground and after a few breaths, he finally had time to observe his surroundings.

What comes into view is a small, scorching sun floating in the air.

Flames flowed across the three pairs of orange-red wings, and flames danced in the air.

The scattered sparks landed on the ground, making a "hissing" sound.

His deep blue eyes were fixed on Xia Yu.

The embodiment of the sun, the god of fire, the fire moth!

It was obvious that the dazzling light and scorching heat just now came from it. If it hadn't actively restrained its fire energy, it would have been a disaster.

Xia Yu may have already been evaporated into a mummified corpse.

Apart from the fire moth, the surroundings were completely enclosed, like entering a cave.

A stone wall formed from yellow rock.

It is mottled and weathered.

The rock face is carved with ancient murals and various Pokémon rock sculptures.

The figures of bronze bells, psychic clay figures, ancient coelacanths, three-headed dragons, fire moths, Zekrom, and Lexiram are all included.

The murals depict scenes of ancient people performing sacrifices and prayers.

Unfortunately, many murals are severely damaged and their contents are no longer visible, leaving only a few intact murals.

…………

Xia Yu's gaze fell on the fire moth, which resembled the sun.

It still possesses the same aptitude as the three-headed dragon, a quasi-god-level aptitude.

Xia Yu was numb to the sight.

He also summarized the pattern.

From the first level of master-level qualifications, bronze bells and psychic clay figurines.

The Ancient Resilient Fish has reached the second-tier Master-level aptitude.

Then there's the three-headed dragon, which has the quasi-god-level aptitude of the third level.

And the current fourth-tier quasi-god level Vulcan Moth.

With each level you ascend, the Pokémon you encounter will only become stronger.

The fact that Volcarona was able to guard the fourth level clearly indicates that it is stronger than Hydreigon.

Xia Yu recalled the scene just now. If the Volcano hadn't voluntarily reduced the heat emanating from its body, he might have really kicked the bucket.

Looking at the fire moth, which was as bright as the blazing sun, Xia Yu took a deep breath and couldn't help but think to himself.

What will be the trial in this stage?

…………

Chapter 550 Thunderous Glory, Awe-inspiring Power (Sixteen)

The flames on the wings of the fire moth are raging, and its whole body is bathed in flames. At this moment, it is as dazzling and majestic as a burning sun.

Flames flowed across its surface like rolling lava, with occasional sparks scattering onto the floor, making a hissing sound and emitting wisps of white smoke.

Even though the Volcano had slightly restrained its god-like power, when its deep blue eyes were fixed on Xia Yu, it still brought him endless pressure, just like a fire king.

Xia Yu raised his head, wanting to look directly at the Fire God Moth, but the dazzling flames on its body were as bright and blinding as the sun.

My eyes start to hurt after just a few seconds of looking at it.

In a fleeting glance, Xia Yu discovered that from this level onwards, there were no longer any limitations on strength.

Quasi-god level strength!

The Vulcan Moth displayed its near-god-level strength without any hesitation, and an overwhelming pressure accompanied by a heat wave surged forth.

It is as magnificent as a sun fallen to earth, a god of fire, inspiring awe.

Although there is only one level difference between the Quasi-God level and the Master level, their strength is vastly different, like the difference between immortals and mortals.

…………

"Humans..." The voice of the Vulcan Moth rang out, a deep and imposing voice, like that of a monarch, making people instinctively want to lower their heads and submit.

As the fire moth's voice rang out, the flames on its body leaped, and scorching sparks danced, making it impossible for Xia Yu to look directly at it.

“I sense it…you carry the soul of my king within you…I will not stop you from reaching this final level.”

"Our king has slumbered for far too long, and today he will awaken once more," the voice of the Fire Moth rang out. "This is the path to the final level."

As it made its sound, a spatial rift appeared behind it.

"But if...you want my approval...there's a reward!"

"You must... accept my trial!"

As the sound of the Vulcan Moth rang out, a burst of flames suddenly erupted from the spatial rift behind it, and a fiery red figure flew out from the rift.

Its orange-red wings were bathed in flames, its full body was covered in sparks on its white down, and its deep blue eyes were fixed on Xia Yu.

Vulcan moth!

It's another Vulcan moth, but this one isn't very strong, only at the Quasi-Elite Four level.

At the same time, the flames on its body were unstable, more turbulent and surging than the quasi-god-level fire moth beside it, constantly rolling and burning on its body surface.

It looks like it has just evolved, and it is not yet proficient in controlling fire-type energy.

Xia Yu's gaze fell on the newly appeared fire moth, and then his pupils suddenly contracted.

Master-level talent?!

Xia Yu was shocked. It wasn't that he hadn't seen Pokémon with Master-level potential before; he even had a Pokémon with Master-level potential in his own possession.

For example, the Noivern Dragon and the Abbot in Xia Yu's possession are both Master-level talents, but they were improved through various opportunities and items.

The Volcarona in front of him was clearly a natural-born Master-level Pokémon; he had never seen a Pokémon with such outstanding talent before.

Xia Yu secretly guessed that the master-level fire moth in front of him must be the offspring of the quasi-god-level fire moth beside him, otherwise its aptitude would not be so high.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. As expected of a first-level Divine Dragon Spiral Tower Secret Realm, the Pokémon inside had ridiculously high aptitude.

First there was the champion-level shiny Gyarados and the near-master-level Dragonair, and now there's the master-level Volcarona.

The secret realm of a first-level god is truly a treasure trove.

"What are the contents of the trial?" Xia Yu asked, looking at the Fire God Moth.

"Defeat it when you're on equal footing." The pseudo-legendary Volcarona's voice rang out: "That shouldn't be difficult for... you trainers. You can use... any Pokémon... I'll suppress their strength to the same level!"

Listening to the details of the Volcano's trial, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief. This level of trial wasn't particularly difficult. At least it was easier than the previous level.

The Volcano with master-level aptitude in front of us is powerful, but still within an acceptable range.

So, which Pokémon should I send out in battle?

Xia Yu frowned, lost in thought. After only a moment, his gaze hardened, and he made his decision.

Ultimately, to be on the safe side, Xia Yu decided to send Diancie into battle!

"Go, Diancie!"

As Xia Yu's voice rang out, Princess Diancie appeared in the arena.

The pink diamond gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight, and Diancie, who hadn't appeared for a long time, had already reached the level of a near-Elite One.

As a legendary Pokémon, Diancie grows much faster than other Pokémon.
