Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

The sound of the broken sword moving was heard, and Apprentice Bear and Gyarados came forward, wanting to help Li Chen.

Unfortunately, another light curtain appeared, isolating the two Pokémon.

"Bai ah?!" (Gyarados, what do you say we should do? If our trainer keeps lifting like this, I'm afraid his palm will be in jeopardy!)

Disciple Xiong desperately wanted to do something for Li Chen, but the obstruction of this light curtain made it impossible for him to use his strength.

The weather is getting colder, and a bear Pokémon like it can't stay in this weather for long...

And his trainer is just a weak human, how can he possibly compete with these two Pokémon with powerful bodies?

"Hoo..." (Let me think...)

Gyarados opened its big mouth and pointed it in the direction of General Pudao, wanting to question the bear apprentice together.

General Pudao could not hide this little action. He yawned continuously and fell asleep with his head tilted to the side.

Apprentice Bear, Gyarados: ...

Ha Qiu!

The bear apprentice sneezed, shook his body, and snowflakes fell off his body.

Wait, snow?

Apprentice Xiong raised his head and looked towards the sky, only to find that the dazzling sun had disappeared at some point, replaced by flying snow.

And the light curtain that was blocking them was slowly dissipating.

All these changes happened because of Li Chen's actions!

The second trial - Snow and wind!

Apprentice Bear and Gyarados looked delighted and wanted to go forward to help Li Chen, but they couldn't move an inch.

The drizzle quickly turned into a blizzard, blocking their way.

The wind was freezing cold, and snowflakes fell into Apprentice Bear's eyes, making it impossible for him to see the road ahead.

The bear apprentice couldn't open his eyes and had difficulty breathing. He breathed in and out in big gulps, greedily sucking in oxygen.

Its fur also changed from brown to snow-white, and everything below its mouth was buried in the snow.

In this situation, it is extremely difficult to move forward.

Fortunately, Gyarados used his body to shield his bear apprentice from some of the wind and frost, preventing him from advancing but retreating.

"Hurrah!" (Get on my head!)

Gyarados growled and told his bear apprentice to climb above its head so that at least he wouldn't be buried alive in the snow.

At the same time, it tried to lift its tail, but it was inconvenient to move in the snow.

It took almost a lot of effort to dig the bear apprentice out of the snow pile.

The snow was rising so fast that one-third of Gyarados' body was buried in the snow.

On the other hand, Li Chen had just pulled out half of the broken sword when a sudden strong wind swept towards him.

"Huh? There's a second stage?!"

Li Chen was a little surprised, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, holding the broken sword tightly with both hands, not ready to let go.

He had often encountered trials like pulling things out in his previous life.

Whether it is obtaining the Master Sword in "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Kingdom of Tears" or obtaining the Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown in "Black Myth: Wukong", the protagonist needs to consume life/stamina to perform the operation.

The same is true for Li Chen at this moment. His vitality and physical strength are constantly draining away.

The hot air exhaled from his mouth merged with the surrounding snowflakes. Li Chen felt that his breathing became more and more difficult, and he couldn't help but breathe a little faster.

The temperature has now dropped to a point where it is difficult to survive. Unless you are an ice-type Pokémon, it is very difficult to exert your strength here.

"No, in this weather, my apprentices will definitely get frostbitten..."

The blizzard was blowing fiercely, and a large area of ​​Li Chen's exposed skin had been frostbitten. Most of his body was buried in the snow. His eyelids kept twitching and he felt drowsy.

Holding the broken sword in one hand without letting go was already his limit.

But when he thought that the situation of his apprentice Bear and Gyarados would not be any better, Li Chen released one hand and reached for his waist.

He picked up the two shrunken Poké Balls.

His arms left the snow, the Poké Ball expanded, and Li Chen was also looking for the location of his bear apprentice, shouting:

"Apprentice Bear, come back first. It will be warmer inside the Poké Ball..."

Gyarados, I'm so sorry to have you involved. You're not my Pokémon, but you're still disgusted by this awful weather...

This bait ball is empty. Hide inside for a while, or you'll get cold...

I can handle this trial by myself..."

The bear apprentice had just climbed to the top of Gyarados' head, and his frozen arms felt a little heavy.

It was thinking about how to solve the problem for Li Chen when it heard the other party's words.

Recalling everything he had encountered in the past, this was the first time someone cared about him so much. Apprentice Bear choked with tears in his eyes, but was frozen by the extremely cold temperature.

Gyarados' heart was also touched by Li Chen's words. Since meeting Li Chen, its actions did not bring much help to the other party.

This made Gyarados feel quite guilty.

Even now, it couldn't make any contribution in this icy and snowy world. Gyarados felt like a useless beast...

You took someone's things, but now you can't even do this little thing, how can you even talk about repaying them?!

Thinking of this, the rainbow light hidden in the azure scales of Gyarados slightly reversed.

"Roar!!!"

The dragon roared to the sky. Li Chen looked back and vaguely saw the outlines of his apprentice bear and Gyarados.

"I found you..."

Just as he was about to close his eyes, Li Chen aimed the Poké Ball at his bear apprentice and a beam of red light shot out.

The whole body of the bear apprentice was wrapped in red light, but it took a step back and did not want to enter the Poké Ball.

[The intimacy between apprentice Bear and me has reached its maximum. Achievement: Heart to Heart.]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Wave Power (Elementary), Points +500! ]

[Because the host has acquired special abilities, the original ability, the power of super-conquer, is fully unlocked! ]

A series of system information came, and Li Chen's eyes, which were about to close, opened again. Two forces in his body continued to flow and converge into his heart.

The whole person is full of energy and looks dignified!

The power of wave guidance and the power of super-conquer, these two powers Li Chen is very familiar with.

These two abilities exist in anime, and they are powers on par with superpowers!

The portrait of his disciple Xiong appeared in Li Chen's mind. He closed his eyes and found that his sight had reached a high altitude.

Sharing sight?!

Wow, this ability is awesome!

Soon, Li Chen opened his eyes again, put the Poké Ball back on his waist, grabbed the broken sword with both hands, and continued to exert force, lifting it up again!

"Brothers, lend me some strength!" Li Chen said to the two Pokémon.

The bear apprentice was the first to react. He tapped the top of Gyarados' head and used this support point to dive down!

"Beaaa!" (I'll help you!)

Apprentice Xiong fell into the snow, and his frozen arms came back to life, grabbing the broken sword together with Li Chen!

[To prevent Li Chen from worrying, Apprentice Bear cured the freeze! ]

With the help of Apprentice Xiong, Li Chen's sword-drawing speed increased a bit.

The progress was only the last 1/4, and the blizzard was getting heavier and heavier, and the snow on the ground had reached Li Chen's neck.

“Roar!!” (Just a pile of snow, nothing to be afraid of!!)

Gyarados' eyes were bloodshot. It burrowed into the snow, constantly using its huge body to clear a path for Li Chen.

Since I can't help Li Chen with drawing the sword, then help him clear all obstacles!

Water-type Pokémon, naturally resistant to ice!

You know, the right half of the ice is water!

Gyarados swam freely in the snow, and all the snowflakes that had been accumulated with great effort were cleared away by Gyarados.

It would take some time for the blizzard to form snow, and just a few seconds were enough for them to pull out the broken sword!

"One, two, pull!"

The last little bit was also pulled out with Li Chen's slogan!

The blizzard stopped and Li Chen was able to catch his breath.

Fortunately, it didn't snow any more, otherwise he might have died here.

Looking at the broken sword in his hand, he laughed.

[Item: Broken Sword of the Ancient Sword Leopard (God's Token)]

[Explanation: A broken sword filled with resentment like a blizzard. Insert it somewhere and the Ancient Sword Leopard will appear.]

What a good sword! What a good sword!

This trip was really worthwhile. Now that I have obtained this broken sword, I will have the opportunity to tame the Ancient Sword Leopard!

Gu Jian Bao, I hope the foreign tomato didn't suppress the image quality

Li Chen moved around and was fine.

After the power of wave guidance and super-power were unlocked, the arm that was originally frostbitten now had no visible difference.

Sure enough, I am developing towards becoming a "Super Rongcheng Person".

"Apprentice Bear, Gyarados, are you two okay? Do you need some thawing medicine?"

Li Chen took out thawing medicine from his backpack, which can not only thaw the body but also cure frostbite.

If the wave force and super-power had not come out, he was ready to use thawing medicine to keep himself going for a while longer.

"Bye." (I'm fine, Gyarados, what do you say?)

The bear apprentice waved his hands, saying that nothing was wrong with him now, at most he had caught a cold.

"Huo?" (Me? That's even better.)

Gyarados also swung its tail to show that it was fine.

Seeing that the Pokémon were fine, Li Chen nodded.

As soon as he took a step, the bait ball fell.

Chapter 18: Conquer, Colorful Gyarados

Hearing the sound of the Poké Ball falling to the ground, Gyarados couldn't help but lower its head. It just stared at the blue ball on the ground and slapped the ground with its tail a few times.

"Roar!" (Your Poké Ball!)

Gyarados is reminding Li Chen.

Li Chen leaned over, picked up the bait ball, wiped it clean with a cloth, and raised his palm: "Gyarados, will you be my partner?"

He was extending an invitation to Gyarados, an invitation to become the pinnacle together.

"Hey!" (Gyarados, let's eat together, train together, and conquer the world together!)

Apprentice Bear stood beside Li Chen, looking at Gyarados with anticipation.

"Hoo!" (I'll take care of it! Thanks for your advice!)

Gyarados rushed down, and its head touched the button in the middle of the bait ball, turning into red light and entering it.

Boom!

A heart-breaking victory!
