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

Boom~

With a resounding "boom," the two incredibly powerful skills, Dark Strike and Dragon God Dive, clashed fiercely! Instantly, light shone, energy splashed, and the entire independent space was shaken by the collision of these two terrifying forces, as if even space itself was trembling violently.

The aftermath of the impact spread out in all directions like surging waves. Wherever it passed, the void was distorted and deformed, and there was a faint tendency for it to break.

Although Qi and Xia Yong were outside the independent space and separated by a space barrier, they could still clearly feel the shock wave generated by the intense and heart-pounding collision of skills.

Xia Yong's face changed drastically, and he asked the captain, "Captain, what's going on? Should we enter that space to investigate?"

Qi was also surprised. Why was there such a fierce sound of skills clashing, as if someone was engaged in a fierce battle inside? But since he wanted to wait and see, he must have the patience.

"Don't worry. Perhaps they want to lure us in and have already set a trap at the entrance. If you really can't wait, you can go alone."

"No, no, Captain, I don't think I'm strong enough to appear in front of a champion-level beast. Only you have the chance to subdue it." Xia Yong waved his hand and responded with a little fear.

"You know the truth."

About thirty or forty meters away, in a dense forest, Qi Shu lowered his voice and asked Zou Tianwang beside him quietly, like a thief: "Uncle Zou, how long are we going to wait here? Don't you want to go down and catch them all in one fell swoop?!"

Zou Yi put down the binoculars and looked at the young gym trainer next to him with a bit of helplessness. He asked, "Do you have the strength to defeat or kill that quasi-champion-level Dragon King Scorpion?"

Qi Shu was a little anxious and responded: "What should I do? Besides, I haven't even found any trace of Brother Xiao Heng."

Zou Yi responded, "If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Heng should have entered that independent space. Qi and that ordinary member should be waiting for something to happen."

Qi Shu: "What should we do then? Are we going to wait here forever?"

Zou Yi: "I have sent the location information to the alliance through the communication equipment. If nothing unexpected happens, a trainer with the title of the strongest king should be here this time."

"Uncle Zou, have you not received any news from outside for a long time?"

Zou Yi's face was full of questions. "Huh? What's wrong?"

"My master swept the eight regional kings all by himself. I guess their main Pokémon haven't recovered from their injuries yet..."

Zou Yi: "...Then we can only pray that the one coming to support us is the champion!"

...............

In independent space

The huge dragon head phantom formed by Bodangshui's swooping dragon god could not last for two and a half seconds before it was shattered by a punch from Martial Arts Master Xiong who was standing in place.

If we must give an evaluation of Bo Dangshui in this battle, we can only say that it was powerless to resist.

Martial Arts Master Xiong's punch was right on Bodangshui's cheek, but the punch didn't actually hit him, so it could be said that he left enough force.

Although Martial Arts Master Bear has not yet recovered to his full health, his combat power and spirit have returned to their peak.

This is already apparent from some of the settings in the Pokémon world. Normally, abnormal states cannot be stacked. If the Martial Bear Master is still poisoned, the Burning state cannot cover it.

And in the flame jet attack of Bodangshui just now, Master Wudao Xiong was actually burned. This means that Master Wudao Xiong has gotten rid of the poisoning state.

This battle, coupled with the burning of a jet of flame, made Master Xiong's blood boil, causing the medicine injected by Zhang Heng into his body to evaporate faster, neutralizing the toxins in his body.

Bodangshui looked at the fist so close to him, licked his dry mouth, stiffened his neck, and slowly stepped back.

Zhang Heng walked over and patted Bodangshui's hind legs, comforting him, "It's okay, we will continue to get stronger. The level gap is too big right now, and we can't bring out our strengths and advantages."

"We lost. Thank you, Master Wudao Xiong. I know you showed us some mercy during this competition. It made us realize more of our own shortcomings."

Wudao Master Xiong nodded, then retracted his fists, stretched out his arms, and looked at them before his eyes. He then clenched them tightly and waved his fists in the air a few times. The wind from his fists whistled, and the air crackled like popping beans, indicating that he had recovered from the poisoning.

Now that Wudao Master Xiong has recovered, Zhang Heng no longer has to worry. Next up is entering the Water Tower and completing the trial!

Master Xiong's telepathic message slowly echoed in the depths of Zhang Heng's mind: "Standing before the Water Tower, anyone who is recognized by the Water Tower will naturally be drawn into its power."

Zhang Heng and Bodangshui walked side by side, heading straight for the Water Tower that stood before them. A small pink creature was lying on Zhang Heng's shoulder.

At this moment, Zhang Heng couldn't help but ponder in his heart. Previously, he had heard from Master Wudao Bear that only water-type beasts and their dedicated trainers were qualified to participate in this trial.

However, the one accompanying him at this moment was the Water Leaping Fish, a mythical beast not of the traditional water element. Zhang Heng's Water Leaping Fish was extremely interested in red things.

Sure enough, at this moment, the water-leaping fish suddenly jumped off Zhang Heng's shoulder, trotting happily towards the red-painted wooden door, and stretched out its pink little claws, eager to slap the door.

"Hey! Water Leap Fish, don't go!"

However, it was too late. The red-painted wooden door, which seemed extremely solid, was actually showing layers of ripples, just like the tiny ripples on a calm lake caused by a breeze.

What was even more magical was that the door seemed to become transparent in an instant, and before the pink little claws of the water-leaping fish could actually touch the door, it was already pulled by an invisible powerful force, and its entire body suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Zhang Heng was so anxious that he didn't have time to think too much. He immediately took a big step and rushed into the mysterious wooden door with Bo Dangshui at his side. At the same time, Apprentice Xiong, who had been following closely behind them, also jumped in without hesitation and disappeared into the strange world behind the door in an instant.
