Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Dealing with the fox spirits and the others was too easy before, and it didn't have any training effect at all.

That was more like a one-sided crushing defeat.

But now, things are different.

"That's more like it."

Bai Yu murmured to himself, his voice tinged with barely suppressed excitement.

He moved his neck, which was covered by his ferocious armor, making a "crackling" sound.

"Only by fighting opponents of the same level can you truly accumulate combat experience."

Gargomon, who had just completed its evolution, looked around.

Its once clear eyes were now filled with a burning fighting spirit.

The next second, it suddenly raised its head and let out a burst of maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!"

The laughter was filled with uncontrollable wildness, like a beast breaking free from all its restraints.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the Gatling guns on Gargomon's arms suddenly began to spin!

"Dada dada dada dada—!"

The deafening gunfire echoed through the night sky!

The scorching bullets, like an out-of-control torrential rain, indiscriminately and wildly sprayed everything around them!

Soil, grass clippings, and pebbles were kicked up by the bullets and danced wildly in the air.

Trees along the playground were hit, splinters flew everywhere, leaving behind shocking bullet holes!

"I knew it……"

Qi Ren watched this scene and muttered something unconsciously.

He reacted almost the instant Garugmon fired.

Qi Ren suddenly threw himself to the ground, tightly protecting the weakened Gu Le beast in his arms.

"Guilmon, get down!" he shouted to his still somewhat dazed partner beside him.

Upon hearing the shouts of the awakened one, the guild beast immediately lay down on the ground as well.

Jianliang was equally quick, also lying down on the ground immediately.

On the other side, Ruki reacted quickly, clinging tightly to the fox spirit.

He used his not-so-broad back to shield his partner from stray bullets that could fly at any moment.

In an instant, gunfire erupted across the playground, bullets flew everywhere, and chaos reigned.

Meanwhile, Gargomon, the instigator of all this, continued its frenzied firing.

Bai Yu frowned deeply beneath his helmet as he looked at the chaotic scene.

What he had expected to be a closely contested battle had turned into this.

Facing the indiscriminate barrage of bullets, Bai Yu let out a cold snort.

The ferocious [bone-jointed tail whip] behind him lashed out rapidly!

"Jingle bells!"

All the bullets aimed at him were blocked by several blocks.

Jianliang, who was lying on the ground, was extremely anxious.

He looked at his partner, who had completely lost his mind, and shouted at Garugmon with all his might:

"Gargomon! Calm down! Stop!"

"This time, you really have a battle to fight! The enemy is right in front of you!"

However, Gargomon was now completely immersed in the power of evolution and the desire for destruction.

It ignored Jianliang's shouts and continued to fire wildly, unleashing the violent power within its body.

Once things get out of control, they can't be stopped with just a few words.

Jianliang's shouts were drowned out by the deafening gunfire, sounding pale and powerless.

Chapter 19: Everyone, come here for a moment

Seeing Gargomon like this, Shiraha immediately lost the will to fight it properly.

Now, all he wants is to end this farce as soon as possible.

Bai Yu then pressed the [Lynx Beast Watch], [Wind Calamity Beast Watch], and the [Time-Space Driver] in the middle on his waist in that order!

"The End Time!"

The oppressive electronic sound effects rang out again!

"Explosive Wind Lynx Kick!"

Crimson flames and a blue storm instantly condensed on Bai Yu's right leg.

He leaped into the air, his body drawing a sharp arc, carrying an aura of world destruction, and kicked Gargomon, who was still frantically firing!

Although Gargomon is currently out of control, its fighting instincts remain.

Just as Bai Yu's fatal kick was about to land, its dangerous instincts made it instinctively stop firing.

Gargomon suddenly raised its head, its eyes, filled with a burning fighting spirit, fixed on the white feather in the air.

It roared and, without showing any weakness, raised its right arm to meet the white-feathered knight's kick with a fierce punch!

The next second, boom!

A deafening explosion!

A violent energy shockwave swept outwards from the point of impact in all directions!

Gargomon's enormous body was sent flying backwards like a puppet with its strings cut during the explosion.

It let out a painful cry in mid-air, and the data on its body began to dissipate rapidly. It degenerated back into the petite form of the Big-eared Beast in mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground more than ten meters away.

"Big-eared Beast!"

Seeing this, Jianliang disregarded everything else and hurriedly got up from the ground, running towards the direction of the Big Ear Beast without thinking.

But no matter how fast Jianliang runs, how can he outrun Baiyu?

Bai Yu quickly arrived at the side of the Big-Eared Beast that had just fallen to the ground.

He bent down, grabbed Big Ears by their iconic long ears, and lifted them off the ground.

Bai Yu, carrying the unconscious Big-Eared Beast, turned around and calmly said to Jian Liang, who was running towards him, "You lost."

Then he stretched out his other hand and gestured a number.

"This number is what you lost to me."

Then he gestured another number.

"This amount is my reward for helping you deal with the out-of-control Gargomon and stopping it from causing chaos everywhere."

"That's the total number. Is there a problem?"

Seeing his partner twitching slightly in pain in Bai Yu's hands, Jianliang's backbone and indomitable spirit were instantly doused with a bucket of cold water.

He no longer possesses even a trace of the resolute and fearless demeanor he had just displayed.

That face, which always carried a mature and composed air, was now filled with anxiety and heartache, just like Qi Ren and Liu Ji's.

"No, no problem!" Jianliang nodded hurriedly, his tone full of urgency.

As long as Big Ear Beast is alright, I'll do anything for him, let alone money.

"very good."

Bai Yu nodded in satisfaction and casually placed the unconscious Big-Eared Beast into Jian Liang's arms.

Jianliang immediately hugged his partner tightly and anxiously checked on its condition.

Bai Yu removed the watch from his waist and deactivated his transformation.

The armor covering him instantly turned into countless points of light, dissipating in the night wind and revealing his handsome face.

He glanced at the three men who were gathered around their partners, their faces full of worry, and said, "Come here for a moment, all of you!"

Listening to Bai Yu's emotionless shouts.

Ruki reluctantly stood up and helped the fox spirit, who had just recovered somewhat.

Keito carried the weakened Gullmon in his arms, with Guilmon following behind.

They all walked up to Bai Yu without saying a word.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber, filled with the bitterness of defeat.

Liu Ji knew what Bai Yu wanted to do by calling them over, and she didn't want to get entangled in the matter any further.

She looked up and stared directly at Bai Yu, speaking first in a cold tone: "You know where I live. Come and pick it up yourself tomorrow."

She spoke very clearly and without any hesitation.

"can."

Seeing her so readily agree, Bai Yu nodded in agreement as well.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Ruki did not say another word.

She helped the fox spirit up and turned to leave.

After Liu Ji left, Bai Yu's gaze fell on Qi Ren.

When Bai Yu locked onto his gaze, Qi Ren felt a shiver run down his spine and subconsciously took a half step back, nervously swallowing hard.

He tightened his grip on the Ancient Beast's arm, looked at Bai Yu, and stammered, "Th-that...I...my allowance, it's all from every day..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yu interrupted him.

Where do you go to school?

Bai Yu ignored the little crybaby's explanation about where his meager allowance came from, and instead asked a completely unrelated question.

"Huh?"

Qi Ren was taken aback by the sudden question, but still subconsciously answered Bai Yu.

"Um... this is my school."

Having obtained the answer, Bai Yu's gaze slowly swept across the surroundings.

He surveyed the training ground with great interest, now ravaged by war.

The ground was covered with cratered impact marks and charred remains from the explosion.

The trees not far away were riddled with holes from Garuga's frenzied barrage of bullets.

After seeing all this, Bai Yu's gaze returned to Qi Ren, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

He teased Qi Ren, "Wow, you've actually ruined your alma mater like this?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ren's little face instantly turned bright red.

He felt extremely wronged.

These things... these things have little to do with him!

Who made wild Digimon materialize here?

Moreover, the battles in the earlier stages were mostly fought by Ruki's fox spirit.

As for what happened after that… wasn’t it all you doing to bully us?!

Of course, Qi Ren only dared to think these things in his heart.

Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare say it to Bai Yu's face.

He could only lower his head, picking at his fingers in grievance, without saying a word, like a wronged little wife.
