Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Perhaps because of Hikaru's recent accident, Taiichi's heart, as an older brother, was once again on edge when he looked at Juri, who was about the same age as his younger sister, and he couldn't help but say a word of advice.

As someone who's been there, he never said that. So what if it's a Digimon of justice? Does that mean a Digimon of justice won't hurt you? They've been beaten up by Leomon before, though there were reasons for it.

Despite their attempts to dissuade her, Shuli shook her head vigorously, her face filled with anxiety.

"You've got it wrong, there's no danger!"

"Because Lionmon is my Digimon partner!"

These words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere, leaving Qi Ren's eyes wide open and his mouth slightly agape, unable to close for a long time.

That lion beast... is it Shuli's partner?

When did this happen?

How come he didn't know anything about it!

Taiichi and Hikaru's expressions changed from worry to surprise.

It turns out this person is also a "colleague".

Since they are partners, they are indeed worrying too much.

Only Bai Yu had a slight smile on his lips.

From the moment he saw Lion Beast appear and then Juri followed closely behind, he already knew the answer.

Fate is such a wonderful thing.

And so, Shuli's destiny came to pass.

“Shuli…”

It took Qi Ren a long time to recover from the huge shock. He swallowed hard and stared at his classmate with an extremely serious expression.

"Do you have an arc flash machine?"

This question is the most crucial proof of becoming an animal trainer.

However, Shuli shook her head decisively, her face showing a hint of confusion: "No."

"No arc laser machine?" Shuli's answer left Qiren completely dumbfounded, feeling like his brain couldn't quite process it.

"Shuli, are you sure you're not mistaken? How can you be considered partners without an arc laser machine?"

Juri shook her head, her expression very serious. She looked at Akagi and said, word by word, "Akagi, I didn't do anything wrong. I have a feeling that Leomon is my Digimon partner."

As she spoke, she pointed to Bai Yu, who had remained silent to the side.

"Brother Baiyu said that I am capable of becoming a beast tamer, and the appearance of the lion beast means that my destiny has come, so don't stop me!"

After saying that, Shuli forcefully shook off Qiren's hand and continued to chase after the lion beast in the direction it had left without looking back.

Qi Ren was thrown off balance by her sudden movement and stood frozen in place, watching Shu Li's retreating figure without hesitation.

At that moment, Taiichi and Hikaru turned their heads in unison, their gazes falling on Shiraha.

The siblings' expressions clearly said, "So you were involved here too. You're the one who made that girl think that way."

Then, Qi Ren snapped out of his daze, quickly walked up to Bai Yu, and anxiously opened his mouth: "Brother Bai Yu..."

He had only uttered three words when Bai Yu raised his hand to interrupt him.

With a faint smile on her face, Bai Yu said to Qi Ren, "Don't worry, Shu Li's destiny has truly arrived."

“There’s no danger. You all saw what the Lion Beast did just now. It was chased away by Shuli, which clearly shows that it had no intention of harming Shuli, so you don’t need to worry.”

"Besides, you know Shuli's personality. Her initiative shows her inner thoughts, which is a good thing."

After saying that, Bai Yu reached out and patted Qi Ren on the shoulder to reassure him.

Bai Yu's words did indeed ease Qi Ren's tense nerves a little.

"Brother Baiyu is a shrewd strategist; what he said should be true." Qi Ren comforted himself with this thought, but...

He looked again at Shuli's retreating figure, but the worry on his face did not lessen in the slightest.

Okay, I'm just a little more relaxed. I know Shuli's personality well, and I'm only worried about hitting her because I know it too.

Shuli is sometimes bold and sometimes timid; I'm afraid she might have made a big mistake this time.

"No, I'm still worried. I'm going to take Guilmon with me to check it out! Brother Baiyu, let's dig that hole later!"

After Qi Ren finished speaking, he turned around and rushed back to that "secret base".

He was going to call out to Guilmon, who was still diligently digging in the pit, and then immediately go after Juri.

Seeing his anxious state, Bai Yu was about to say something to comfort him when his cell phone rang at that inopportune moment.

He took out his phone and glanced at it; the caller ID showed it was Ruki.

As soon as the call connected, before Bai Yu could even say "hello," Ruki's urgent, slightly distorted voice came through the receiver: "Bai Yu! The Ancient Beasts have been exposed! Two large Digimon have appeared near my house. They are the Twelve Digimon, and they are chasing me. You need to come and save me right now!"

It wasn't "help me," it was "save me."

The difference between these two words instantly made Bai Yu's expression turn serious.

For Ruki to say something like that, given her strong-willed nature, the situation must have become extremely critical.

"Okay! Hang in there, I'll be right there!" Bai Yu agreed without hesitation and then hung up the phone decisively.

This brief yet information-rich conversation, along with the sudden change in Bai Yu's expression, made everyone present realize that something serious had happened.

"Something happened? Do you need my help?" Taiyi was the first to react, asking in a serious tone.

Bai Yu glanced at him and quickly nodded.

Help is definitely needed.

He understood almost immediately from Ruki's words.

The twelve divine generals, being of very large size, can only be warhorse beasts and wild boar beasts.

These two are among the best in terms of strength among the Twelve Divine Generals.

It's good that Taiyi wants to help, but Baiyu is a little worried that with Taiyi's current abilities, he may be willing but unable to do so.

Unless... I lend him the props again.

The situation is urgent, so it's not impossible.

However, before Bai Yu could speak, Taiyi spoke first.

As Taiyi spoke, he took off the small bag slung across his shoulder, unzipped it, and showed it to Baiyu: "Baiyu, I've made what you gave me before. I'm no longer a person without fighting power."

Inside the bag lay the two dual drives that Bai Yu had given him, as well as two completed memory modules.

One is orange, representing courage, and the other is pink, representing light.

It took Taiyi a great deal of effort to create these two memories; those who haven't experienced it can't understand the pain.

So far, I've only experienced Taiichi and Hikaru.

Hikari also suffered a great deal. After Taichi channeled his crest power into her, it was Hikari's turn to channel his crest power into her blank memory.

In order not to disappoint her older brother, Xiaoguang gritted her teeth and persevered.

In the end, their efforts were rewarded.

Since that's the case, Bai Yu has nothing more to say.

As for Xiaoguang going to the hospital, Bai Yu didn't mention it at all. He understood Taiyi and knew what Taiyi was thinking.

Faced with the life-or-death situation of his companions, Taiyi could clearly distinguish between the importance of going to the hospital for a fruitless examination that was purely for his own peace of mind.

"The situation is urgent, let's transform and rush over there immediately," Bai Yu said to Taiyi and Xiaoguang.

Taiyi nodded heavily without hesitation, quickly taking out items from his bag and handing one of the dual drives and the pink [Light Memory] to Xiaoguang beside him.

Bai Yu moved even faster, the [Time-Space Drive] was already fastened to his waist, and the [Ice Demon Beast Watch] was in his hand.

Without hesitation, he pressed the dial onto the drive.

"Ice Demon Beast!"

Cool electronic sounds echoed in the park in the early morning.

"Henshin!"

Bai Yu gave a low shout and started the drive.

"Digital Moment! Ice Demon Beast!"

A chilling fog exploded in mid-air, releasing countless streams of dark purple data... When the fog dissipated, Bai Yu had already transformed into the [Ice Demon Beast Armor Form].

Meanwhile, Taichi and Hikaru's transformations also began.

The two people attached the dual drives to their sides, and the belts automatically extended and fastened securely around their waists.

Taiichi was the first to press the [Courage Memory] button.

"Courage!"

A firm yet fiery sound effect rang out, filled with a scorching sense of power.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Guang also pressed the button on the [Light Memory] in his hand.

"bright!"

The ethereal and clear sound effects are like the tolling of church bells, carrying a comforting warmth.

Xiao Guang aligned the [Light Memory] with the right slot on his driver, which represented the soul side, and decisively inserted it.

The next second, the memory disappeared and appeared in the right slot of Taiyi's waist drive.

Xiao Guang, like a puppet whose soul had been taken away, closed his eyes and fell straight backward.

Fortunately, Bai Yu, who had already transformed, quickly caught Xiao Guang's body.

Taiyi stared at the [Light Memory] that appeared out of thin air, and without the slightest pause, pushed it completely into the slot.

"Light! Shining for the future!"

The driver emitted a new sound effect.

He then inserted the [Memory of Courage] in his hand into the slot on the left side, which represented his body.

"Courage! Ready? Let's go!"

Accompanied by rousing sound effects, Taiyi took a deep breath.

"Henshin!"

He forcefully pushed the drive open on both sides with both hands.

"Courage! Light!"

The final transformation sound effect is like a magnificent symphony, resounding through the sky!

In an instant, an orange data stream and a pink data stream gushed out from the driver.

Two completely different energies, like two giant dragons chasing and playing, transformed into a dazzling double spiral that completely engulfed Taiyi.

On the park's ground, grid-like data patterns spread wildly, and intense energy collided and merged with a sacred aura, forming an energy field.

At the center of the energy vortex, a brand new knight figure is rapidly coalescing.

When the light faded, an unprecedented digital rider stood silently in place.

He was a warrior who had perfectly balanced the two powers.

The body is divided into two distinct halves by a clear central axis.

The left half of the body is a fiery orange, symbolizing courage. The lines of the armor are full of power and sharp angles. The shoulder and arm armor are shaped like raging flames, and a simplified sun flame symbol is branded on the chest armor, full of fearless sharpness.

The right half of the body is a pure pinkish-white representing light. The lines of the armor are smooth and sacred, appearing light and elegant. The edges of the shoulder and leg armor extend out like wings, while the breastplate features a four-pointed star totem that shines with soft light, radiating warmth and hope.

His head, his compound eyes, were also two-colored, the left eye being a flame-like orange-red and the right eye a star-like bright pink.

At the center of his forehead, a crystal armor incorporating sun and star patterns shone brightly.

The most striking feature is the transparent core crystal in the center of the knight's chest.

Inside the crystal, orange and pink energies beat and flow like a real heart, endlessly regenerating.

This is the power belonging to Taichi and Hikari, a posture that perfectly balances courage and light—[Digital Knight: Courage and Light]

(Does this one look better?)
