Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Can we really expect him to fight Digimon hand-to-hand?

Although it's not like he's never done such a thing before.

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but you should go back. If a fight really breaks out, I won't have time to take care of you."

While the two were talking, the fox spirit had already sneaked into the residential building in front of them.

Hearing Bai Yu's blunt rejection, Taiyi was not discouraged at all. Instead, he thumped his chest loudly and said, "Don't worry about that. I have the ability to protect myself!"

Taiyi's face was full of confidence, as if he was afraid that Baiyu would not believe him, and he even took the initiative to make a request.

"If you don't believe me, you can let your Digimon attack me and see."

After saying that, Taiichi's gaze swept back and forth between Bai Yu and the Digimon in Bai Yu's arms, and he asked curiously, "By the way, which Digimon is your partner, that one or the one in your arms?"

The ancient beast in the arms heard someone talking about it, groggily opened its eyes, yawned, and replied in a childish voice, "Ancient beast is ancient beast, ancient..."

Bai Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

You asked to try this yourself.

Normally, Bai Yu would naturally not mind exchanging ideas with Taiyi more often.

But they were on business, and Bai Yu really didn't want to have another burden by his side.

The 【Wind and Calamity Beast Dial】 appeared silently in Bai Yu's hand, and he pressed the button on the dial.

Amidst an electronic voice calling "Wind Calamity Beast," a bone club appeared in Bai Yu's hand.

Taiyi's pupils suddenly contracted; he hadn't even seen how the bone club had appeared.

The next second, Taiyi heard Baiyu's voice: "Get ready, I'm coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu moved, swinging the bone club in his hand towards Taiyi!

Taiyi remained completely calm, took out his sacred plan from his pocket, gripped it tightly in his hand, and crossed his arms in front of him.

The sacred plan suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light!

The light quickly condensed, forming a semi-transparent energy shield in front of Taiyi.

At the very center of the shield, a familiar emblem representing "courage" clearly emerged, gleaming with unwavering brilliance.

"clang!"

The bone club slammed solidly into the energy shield.

A tremendous force of recoil traveled along the bone club, and Bai Yu felt a numbness in his hand. The bone club in his hand was shaken out of his grasp, rolled several times in the air, and finally fell to the ground not far away with a "clang".

Bai Yu's face showed obvious surprise.

Upon seeing Bai Yu's surprised expression, Taiyi immediately straightened his back, a smug look on his face. He raised his chin at Bai Yu and said, "How about that? Now you believe me, right?"

Bai Yu was still in shock. Looking at Taiyi, she subconsciously asked, "How can you still use the power of the Badge of Courage? Shouldn't your badge have been stolen long ago?"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi immediately became displeased and said, "What are you saying!"

"If I can't use the power of the Badge of Courage, then who can?"

"And what do you mean by being tricked? Who could possibly trick me out of my badge?"

Seeing that Taiyi looked like he was about to devour him, Baiyu quickly calmed down and shook his head at Taiyi: "It's nothing, I just said it casually, maybe I remembered it wrong."

He said that, but inside, a huge storm was brewing.

怎麼回事？

Something's not right in the plot!

How come Taichi still has the power of the crest? Their crests should have been taken away long ago!

Some time after defeating Diablomon, Gennai once again summoned Taichi and the other eight children to the Digital World.

Gennai's reasoning at the time was that the Digital World still had some distortions due to the previous battles that could not be repaired and needed the power of their eight badges to be restored.

That's half true and half false.

Perhaps the digital world really does have distortions that need to be repaired, after all, it was ravaged by the Apocalypse Beasts.

However, after the repairs, the badge was not returned to Taichi and the others.

Instead, it was taken away by Xuan Nei and later came into the hands of the Four Holy Beasts.

What the Four Holy Beasts want is the most primal light of evolution contained within their emblems!

But Taiyi's badge hasn't been lost yet; the facts are right in front of him, leaving Bai Yu no choice but to believe it.

If Tai and the others' badges weren't taken away, then where did Gullmon come from?

Bai Yu lowered his head and looked at the little guy in his arms who was still yawning and sleepy-eyed.

If the Four Holy Beasts do not receive badges, they will not have enough Evolutionary Light.

Without the Light of Evolution, there would be no birth of the Ancient Beast!

This...this...

Bai Yu's mind was a bit of a mess.

Seeing Bai Yu's 'unable to understand' expression, Taiyi remained silent.

After a while, the fox spirit returned, pulling Bai Yu back to reality.

Chapter 46: That person is Kenichi Ichijouji's older brother

Put those messy thoughts aside for now.

With a thought, Bai Yu retrieved the dial into the system space, and the bone club that had fallen to the ground not far away also disappeared.

Then, Bai Yu looked at the fox spirit that had just returned and asked, "How was it?"

The fox spirit's expression didn't change much; it simply reported the situation calmly: "Ichijouji Ken's home is normal. After he went back, he greeted his family and then went to his room to do his homework. I didn't find anything unusual."

Bai Yu frowned and said, "Let's wait and see if he makes a move tonight."

At this moment, Bai Yu had already made up his mind. If things remained calm tonight, he would have Yamaki Mitsuo send someone to take over and keep an eye on Ichijoji Ken's situation.

Go look up the partner of the Blackfish yourself.

Although it's unlikely, it's still a clue.

The fox beast nodded, and then the scene quieted down.

But this moment of tranquility was quickly shattered.

Taiyi wasn't one to stay quiet. His eyes were brimming with curiosity as he moved closer to Baiyu and bombarded him with questions: "Baiyu, what was that thing you were looking at just now? How did you conjure that stick?"

"Also, you still haven't answered my previous questions. Which of these two Digimon is your partner?"

Bai Yu looked at Taiyi speechlessly.

This guy has so many questions; his curiosity is even greater than that of Izwaran.

“None of them are my partners,” Bai Yu replied patiently. “I don’t have any Digimon partners. That was my own special ability.”

Upon hearing this, Taiyi's face immediately showed an expression of utter curiosity. He looked at Baiyu as if he had discovered a new continent.

"You mean you don't have a Digimon partner, but instead possess special abilities?"

"Wow! Doesn't this mean that a new school of thought has emerged?"

Taiyi was very clever and immediately understood the core message in Baiyu's words.

This is the second new 'profession' to emerge after the Beast Tamer.

Taiyi's interest was piqued, and he pressed on, "What exactly is your special ability? Can you tell me in detail?"

Bai Yu was somewhat helpless. Could he say that?

Of course, I can't say.

There are some topics that Bai Yu doesn't want to discuss with others too much, especially information about his own combat experiences.

Keep it as secret as possible, so that the enemy can only figure it out through repeated battles.

Don't think this is unimportant. Look at how many characters in Naruto died because of their own leaked information.

Bai Yu's expression clearly showed his refusal, and he said directly to Taiyi, "No! I think you should be quiet for a while."

"No!" Taiyi immediately waved his hand, his face full of reluctance.

"It would be too boring if no one said anything."

"If you don't want to talk about this, we can change the subject and talk about something else. As long as you don't shut up, I'm fine with it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu silently rolled her eyes at Taiyi.

Why didn't this character show up in the anime before? This character actually has a talkative nature?

Bai Yu had no idea that Taiyi was genuinely, genuinely, genuinely curious about him.

Especially regarding Bai Yu's strength,

Taiyi hoped that Baiyu's strength would be insufficient to resolve the current troublesome matter.

Seeing Taiyi's expression, Baiyu's eyes darted around, and he said, "How about this, if you're really bored, and everyone hasn't had dinner yet, why don't you go and buy some food for everyone?"

Upon hearing the word "food," the drowsy Gu Le beast in Bai Yu's arms instantly woke up.

It suddenly raised its head, its big, innocent eyes wide open, and echoed in a childish voice, "Food! Gu Le Beast wants to eat something delicious too! Gu Le Beast is hungry, Gu Le!"

Taiyi pointed to his nose, a questioning look on his face, and tentatively asked, "You mean... I should treat you?"

Bai Yu originally just wanted to find an excuse to get rid of this guy; he didn't think much of it.

But when Taiyi asked that question, he simply went along with it and nodded readily.

However, what happened next completely surprised Bai Yu.

Taiyi's expression immediately turned serious, and he said solemnly, "I actually quite like quiet, so I'll shut up."

After saying that, he actually shut his mouth, crossed his arms, and looked like he was saying, "I'm very aloof, don't bother me."

Bai Yu was stunned.

He stared at Taiyi in disbelief, completely bewildered.

This guy... this guy is even stingier than me?

Aren't you the owner of the Badge of Courage? Aren't you the leader of the kids? Aren't you the legendary 'Big Brother'?

Shouldn't the eldest brother always be generous and lavish, spending money like water?

How did a meal scare you like this?

Bai Yu didn't know that it wasn't that Taiyi was stingy, but that he genuinely had no money. Although he was no longer a primary school student, he was still a student.

Taiyi only has enough money left in his pocket to buy himself one dinner. He can't afford to feed even one more person, let alone three.

Bai Yu expressionlessly took out money from his pocket, pulled out two bills, and handed them to Taiyi.

"Here you go, this is..."

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Taiyi swiftly snatched the two bills, saying quickly, "I understand! Thank you for treating! Next time, next time it'll be my treat!"

After saying that, Taiyi didn't hesitate for a second. He turned around and ran towards the outside of the community. His speed was as fast as a gust of wind.

Bai Yu stretched out his hand and made a classic Er Kang hand gesture towards Taiyi's rapidly receding figure.

Depend on!

I've been taking advantage of others these past few days, and today I got taken advantage of myself!

And it was Yagami Taichi, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who took advantage of her!

Okay, I've got it!

If I don't make you, Taichi Yagami, bald in the future, I'll feel like I've wasted the two tickets I spent today!

Bai Yu secretly vowed in his heart and began to plan how to get back double the losses he had suffered from Taiyi in the future.

Half an hour later, the group had finished eating and drinking.

The one who ate the most was Gu Le Shou. The little guy's mouth never stopped until his little belly was round and full, and then he let out a satisfied burp.

Just then, a figure emerged from the residential building they had been staring at.
