A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

No, no, Zhang Heng began to sort out the clues in his mind about the first level of the trial again. He felt that the action of the leaping fish must be the core that connects the entire incident.

Zhang Heng suddenly lifted the water-leaping fish from his shoulders with joy, pinched its chin, and stroked its forehead.

"Thank you, Shuiyueyu." Zhang Heng's sudden thanks stunned Shuiyueyu.

"Gela Gela~" Although the water-leaping fish was confused, it did not affect its comfortable enjoyment of the owner's caress.

Zhang Heng then turned his gaze to Psyduck and began to explain his thoughts on the first level of the trial.

"The core meaning of the first level of the trial is to encourage the participants to not resolve everything through force, but to use more subtle methods, which may help resolve unnecessary disputes or conflicts. Treating everything calmly like water will yield different rewards!"

Psyduck's pupils trembled because this was the first time he got the correct answer from the challenger.

The first level of the trial can be said to be about using softness to overcome hardness. As long as you communicate with Psyduck on an equal footing or touch it without malice, with the mentality of making friends with it, you can pass this trial directly.

Zhang Heng's Water Leap Fish has just come into this world. What it likes most is to meet all kinds of people and things, and want to make friends with everyone. So because of its innocence, Psyduck will not make things difficult for it, but let it pass directly.

If you have any hostility or fighting intention towards the guardian of the first floor, then Psyduck will accept your challenge head-on, just like the Iron Head Bear apprentice who just entered the Trial Tower was easily defeated by Psyduck and the crushing posture after attacking Psyduck head-on.

buzz~

The entire Water Tower began to shake, and even Master Bear, the One-Strike Martial Arts Master, who was outside the tower, could sense this strange shaking.

Martial Arts Master Bear, who had been staring at the entrance to the independent space, turned around and looked at the sound coming from the Water Tower. With a worried look in his eyes, he kept observing the movements of the Water Tower.

In the past, there have never been so many challengers taking the trial at the same time. I wonder if the increase in the number of people will change the difficulty of the trial.

For the bear master of the one-strike martial arts, he wanted to know whether his bear apprentice could forge his own path and become a bear master of a fighting style that was completely different from his own - the combo martial arts style.

At this time, the bear apprentice who was undergoing the trial on the third level was fighting fiercely with the guardian Mosquito-Repellent Swimmer. The Mosquito-Repellent Swimmer's vigorous frontal attack was the fierce battle that the bear apprentice had always longed for.

The two sides fought back and forth, you punch, I kick. Although the bear apprentice did not have the advantage in size, the mosquito-repellent swimmer's fist was as big as the bear apprentice's body. Despite the huge size difference in the battle, it did not become a one-sided situation.

Although the bear apprentice's body is smaller than that of its opponent, it has more agile and flexible steps and lightning speed.

It was seen moving around like a ghost between the mosquito-repellent swimmer's heavy punches and fierce whip kicks like a storm, which was dazzling.

For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate and it was difficult to determine the winner.

At this moment, the entire tower suddenly began to tremble violently! This sudden change brought Apprentice Xiong's strange state of ease to an abrupt end.

The Mosquito-Repellent Swimmer keenly captured the change in this instant, and without hesitation swung out a powerful fist that flashed with dazzling electric light and accompanied by crackling sounds, and hit the bear apprentice's body with the force of thunder.

Suffering such a heavy blow, the Bear Apprentice was instantly sent flying. He endured the pain from his skill and did a backflip in the air to mitigate some of the impact. He stumbled upon landing and nearly fell to the ground.

The bear apprentice gasped for air, struggling to regulate his breathing rhythm, which had become chaotic from the start. His chest rose and fell violently.

Despite this, Apprentice Bear still gritted his teeth, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his arm, and forced himself to stabilize his shaky body.

It stared firmly at the mosquito-repellent swimmer not far ahead. It saw the bear apprentice slightly bent his body, making a posture as if he was about to launch an attack. All the strength of his body was gathered in his limbs, ready to attack the mosquito-repellent swimmer again.

However, at this moment... something unexpected happened!

The mosquito-repellent swimmer, who had been standing there ready for battle, suddenly seemed to be under a spell after successfully hitting the bear apprentice, and his entire body gradually emitted a dazzling blue light.

As the blue starlight became stronger and stronger, the figure of the mosquito-repellent swimmer gradually became blurred.

Finally, there was only a soft "pop" sound, and the mosquito-repellent swimmer turned into countless blue stars without any warning, slowly dissipating in this vast space until it completely disappeared.

The bear apprentice who witnessed this scene was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.

"Da? Da??"

Apprentice Bear couldn't help but let out a puzzled cry, his little head now full of big question marks.

The culprit for this phenomenon was none other than Zhang Heng in the attic. Just after Zhang Heng gave his answer, the entire Water Tower seemed to stop functioning, and even the Bear disciple who was in the middle of the trial was forced to stop.

Psyduck's psychedelic, clear voice rang out: "Incredible insight and analytical ability, human. Tell me, how did you discern the core meaning of the first level of the trial?"

Zhang Heng's expression remained calm, because the Water Scroll had not yet reached his hands, and it was still too early to open the champagne at halftime.

He responded, "That's very simple. The answer lies with the child Shuiyueyu. He is innocent enough and showed no hostility towards you on the first level. This is the key to our passing the trial unscathed. It is also this child's innocence that gives you hope that the core of the trial will be known, and that is why you have followed us all the way here, right?"

Just after Aqualad patted Psyduck's head, Psyduck followed Aqualad all the way to the last attic. It was indeed attracted by the innocence of this child and saw in Aqualad the gentle power that a water-type Pokémon should have.

However, high-quality Pokémon require upright trainers to guide them. There is no doubt that Zhang Heng is one of the best candidates to become a water-type Pokémon trainer, and his acquisition of the Water Scroll will not bury this item.

"Go ahead. You've already received the Water Tower's approval. Take the Water Scroll with you."
