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

At this moment, the disciple seemed to have lost his soul, still sitting limply on the cold ground, staring blankly at Zhang Heng's back as he passed through the first layer of light curtain of the Water Tower and gradually disappeared, as if his Taoist heart was completely shattered into countless pieces at this moment.

You know, in the plane where Zhang Heng originally lived, the combo-style martial arts bear master was the main Pokémon that all game players dreamed of and rushed to get!

As for Zhang Heng, the top player who once reached the peak of the season, he has a unique and deep affection for the combo-style martial arts master Xiong Shi.

Just imagine, a trainer who specializes in water-based skills, facing such a coveted combo-style martial arts bear master, how could he easily give up the idea of ​​taking him for himself?

This is like Boss Cao, who has the legacy of Emperor Wu of Wei. When a beautiful young woman with graceful and charming manners stands before him, can he still remain calm and composed? The answer is obviously no.

In fact, Zhang Heng had no idea how many times he had the thought and impulse to subdue his disciple Xiong, but every time this thought just came out, it was ruthlessly suppressed.

The reason is not only that the One-Strike Martial Arts Bear Master is always on guard, making it extremely difficult or even almost impossible to capture the monster; the more critical factor is the restrictions imposed by the system.

Don't forget that it is simply impossible to capture a bear apprentice at the current stage. After all, the tasks issued by the system clearly stipulate that only water or dragon-type Pokémon are allowed to be captured.

You have to understand that the current Bear Apprentice is only a single Fighting-type Pokémon. Zhang Heng has no way to circumvent the system's limitations and capture it. Only when the Bear Apprentice successfully passes the Water Tower Trial can it evolve into a Combo-style Martial Arts Bear Master.

By then, not only will its strength be greatly improved, but its attributes will also change, from the original single fighting system to a water plus fighting system.

Therefore, if Zhang Heng rashly subdues the bear apprentice who is still in an unevolved state at this moment, then the water dragon dual-system targeted training task issued by the system will fail.

Zhang Heng thought to himself, "I hope things don't go as planned. Actually, rather than subduing Master Xiong, the Combo Martial Arts Master, I'd rather he forge his own path."

Zhang Heng slowly walked in through the transparent light curtain on the first floor of the Water Tower and instantly arrived at the second floor of the Water Tower.

As he stepped into the second floor, a strange feeling suddenly hit him, as if the ground under his feet disappeared without a trace, replaced by a body of icy cold water.

Zhang Heng instinctively glanced down, only to find his feet completely submerged. The water was crystal clear, yet it gave the illusion of an infinite depth. As he continued walking, the water gradually rose above his calves, stopping about 60 centimeters above his knees.

Looking around, Zhang Heng discovered that the second floor, both in structure and appearance, was virtually identical to the first. The same towering walls, the same orderly layout, the only difference being that the entire area was filled with water. The water was gently rippling, creating tiny ripples.

At the same time, Bodangshui keenly sensed a significant change in the energy fluctuations here. The various energies that were once active in the air were now greatly restricted within this area of ​​water.

They no longer flowed freely as before, but became sluggish and heavy, as if bound by an invisible force. Even the surrounding air seemed particularly humid due to the presence of water, making breathing feel a bit oppressive.

Zhang Heng stood there quietly. Suddenly, he keenly noticed something unusual about the Bodangshui. Out of curiosity, Zhang Heng immediately cast his gaze in the direction of the Bodangshui.

The ripple water, through Zhang Heng's affinity for water, built a bridge of communication, conveying everything it felt to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng frowned slightly. After a moment, he raised his head and looked thoughtfully at the seemingly ordinary yet somewhat weird space in front of him.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Heng turned to Bodangshui and whispered, "Bodangshui, use Jet Flame."

Upon hearing the command, Bodangshui opened his mouth without hesitation and began to gather the surrounding fire energy with all his might. However, the fire energy that should have been pouring in continuously was now completely silent. The entire space was as still as if frozen, without even the slightest energy fluctuation.

But in the end, it could only helplessly spit out a thin stream of smoke from its mouth.

Zhang Heng: "Huh? I can't use fire skills."

At this moment, another buzzing sound echoed through the air above the second layer. A ball of white light slowly gathered, revealing a gigantic, turtle-shaped Pokémon that primarily walked on two legs, though it also occasionally walked on four. Its body was a deep blue. Its front and hind legs were short and sturdy, divided into sections by joints, each with three toes, and a stubby blue tail.

Its lower jaw is light yellow, its ears are triangular, and its torso is covered with a huge and thick tortoise shell, from the front of which extend two water cannons that can be retracted into the shell.

"This is Blastoise!"

A massive body gradually formed in the air. Like a small hill, it emanated an immense sense of pressure and power. Finally, with a resounding bang, the massive body crashed down onto the mirror-like surface of the water.

Instantly, an immensely powerful force swept over. The lifeless, stagnant water seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand. The surface of the water violently churned, forming waves that spread wildly in all directions.

Zhang Heng and Bodangshui, who were standing at the entrance, were not spared either. They felt a tremor beneath their feet, which then struck them mercilessly, nearly knocking Zhang Heng off his feet.

Suddenly, in the middle of this space, water energy gradually condensed, forming a blue text that appeared in the air. The text read:

"Trialist, use all your strength to defeat the guardian of the second layer. It will change according to your strength. Only Water, Fighting, and Dark skills can be used in this layer."

Zhang Heng muttered to himself, "So that's how it is. This space has some restrictions on the use of skills. No wonder Bo Dangshui felt something strange just now and couldn't use Jet Flame."

Then Zhang Heng used the system's ability to check the attribute panel of the Blastoise. As expected, it didn't work. He couldn't even see the name of the Pokémon. He could only see a ball of blue energy fluctuations.

He rubbed his chin as he pondered a strategy, thinking, "Since there are so many skill restrictions, it means that Wave Water has no advantage. Even the Sunny Day cannot be opened, and the ancient activity cannot be activated. Therefore, Wave Water, which can only use water-based skills to attack, has no advantage. Oh right! Will it change according to my strength? Then..."

With this thought in mind, Zhang Heng couldn't help but look at the leaping fish still lying on his shoulder...
