Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

“Okay, it’s settled then.” Bai Yu readily agreed.

The two quickly signed a rental agreement.

They then exchanged phone numbers and some commonly used instant messaging methods.

After doing all this, Koushiro took his leave.

The reason why Koushiro was so willing to rent the house to Shiraha at the original price was entirely because of Shiraha's status as an "insider," which could be considered as forming a good relationship.

On the other hand, Koushiro didn't really expect to make money from the rent, and the house wasn't even that great; he was already lucky to have successfully sublet it.

After Koushiro left, Shiraha stayed alone in the empty house for a while. From now on, he finally had a temporary place to stay in this strange world. Although it was simple, he felt at ease.

After a while, Bai Yu went out to a nearby store to buy some daily necessities such as bedding and toiletries.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was evening. The afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky a warm orange-red.

Bai Yu cooked a simple dinner in her newly rented apartment using the kitchen utensils she had just bought.

After filling his stomach, Bai Yu did not choose to rest. His current strength was still too weak, and he had to hunt Digimon as soon as possible to make more [Knight Items].

Bai Yu didn't want to become an insignificant spectator in the great battles to come.

Walking down the street, Bai Yu's gaze swept across the street scene, her steps seemingly aimless.

Although he wanted to hunt Digimon, Shiraha had no idea when or where those Digimon would materialize.

While the digital field is prominent, whether you'll encounter someone in this city depends entirely on your luck.

Bai Yu also felt a pang of sadness, wondering if he had rushed to the scene in the digital field.

Could it be that their beast tamers' arc machines have some kind of sensing ability in this regard?

Bai Yu continued walking forward and unknowingly arrived at a park.

The environment here is unexpectedly pleasant, and it is especially quiet.

Bai Yu thought to himself: This is actually a good place for a date.

This wasn't just Bai Yu's wild imagination; at that moment, several couples were snuggling together on the bench, oblivious to everyone else, displaying their sweet and affectionate nature.

Bai Yu glanced at it casually, then quickly shifted his attention away.

Why would a single person like me look at all this? Isn't it just making myself miserable?

Just as Bai Yu was about to leave this "unsuitable" place, Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of a special little guy.

"It's this little guy."

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Yu immediately walked towards the small figure.

The little guy is small in size, extremely cute, and innocent.

At this moment, the little guy was staring curiously at a couple, his tiny brain seemingly not quite understanding what the humans in front of him were doing.

The next second, the little guy suddenly felt his feet leave the ground and was gently picked up by a warm embrace.

A mix of panic and confusion welled up inside him. The little guy clumsily turned his head, and what came into view was Bai Yu's face with a faint smile.

With a kind smile on her face, Bai Yu softly said to the little creature in her arms, "Hello, Gu Le Beast."

Chapter 8: Ancient Music Beast

That's right, this petite and adorable little guy is the cutest of the third generation.

Ancient Music Beast.

Despite its small size, it contains a crucial power in the digital world—the power of evolution.

Bai Yu's kind expression instantly dispelled the panic in Gu Le's heart. It blinked curiously, only feeling puzzled.

"Who are you? How do you know me? Gu Le."

Having been in the real world for so many days, this is the first time that Gu Le Shou has met someone who knows him.

This feeling of being recognized instantly made Gu Le Shou feel favorably toward Bai Yu.

Bai Yu didn't answer Gu Le Shou's question directly, but instead asked, "Little guy, are you hungry? Do you want me to treat you to something to eat?"

The ancient beast's response was a rumbling sound from its stomach.

It seemed a little embarrassed, and its small body shifted slightly.

Bai Yu smiled and said gently, "I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Upon hearing "delicious," Gu Le Shou's innocent big eyes instantly lit up, his face filled with anticipation.

Holding the Ancient Music Beast, Bai Yu didn't go too far, not even out of the park, when he saw a stall selling ice cream.

Bai Yu's eyes lit up, and he said to the Ancient Music Beast in his arms, "Little guy, I'll treat you to ice cream."

Gu Le Beast looked up at Bai Yu in confusion and asked in a childish voice, "What is ice cream, Gu Le?"

Bai Yu patiently replied to Gu Le Shou, "It's a delicious thing. You'll know once you try it."

After hearing Bai Yu's words, Gu Le Shou's curiosity was completely piqued, and he was filled with anticipation for the ice cream.

Upon arriving at the stall, Bai Yu ordered two ice creams and handed one to Gu Le Shou.

The ancient beast had never seen ice cream before. It curiously examined this novel food, and cautiously stuck out its little tongue to lick it lightly.

The cool and sweet taste instantly filled my mouth.

Gu Le Shou immediately fell in love with this wonderful taste.

"This is delicious! Gu Le." Gu Le exclaimed happily, his voice filled with surprise, and then he began to eat with gusto, completely immersed in the deliciousness of the ice cream.

Seeing how happily Gu Le Shou was eating, Bai Yu also began to enjoy his own ice cream, but his gaze remained fixed on Gu Le Shou.

He thought to himself, "Eat up, eat to your heart's content. If you eat my food, I won't feel embarrassed when I take things from you later."

The moment Bai Yu saw the Ancient Music Beast, he had already taken a liking to the little guy.

Don't let its cute and clumsy appearance fool you; despite its lack of fighting ability, this little guy possesses extraordinary evolutionary power within its tiny body.

Speaking of which, the birth of Gulemon is closely related to the Four Holy Beasts, especially Azure Dragonmon.

It was Archamon that was born after Azuredramon transformed the "Light of Evolution".

As for where the Azure Dragon Beast obtained this "Light of Evolution," Bai Yu could figure it out even with his toes.

While the main theme of Digimon is evolution, the "Light of Evolution" is not an inherent power of Digimon themselves, nor is it a power possessed by the Digital World.

That's right, there is no such power as the "Light of Evolution" in the digital world.

Digimon evolve based on their own data accumulation.

When the data is large enough, or when a key change occurs, Digimon will "evolve," thereby changing their appearance.

In summary, Digimon are made up of data, and the power of "Evolutionary Light" can directly stimulate the data, causing it to explode in a short period of time.

This power is practically like having a cheat code for Digimon.

After a while, the Ancient Beast happily finished eating all the ice cream. It raised its head and looked at Bai Yu with bright eyes.

Bai Yu understood the meaning in the little guy's eyes.

I want to eat one more.

Bai Yu smiled, turned to the stall owner, and planned to ask for another ice cream.

But at that moment, Bai Yu saw a thick fog spreading rapidly in all directions not far away.

"It's the digital field," Bai Yu immediately thought to himself.

"Looks like my luck was pretty good tonight."

The couples in the park also noticed the sudden thick fog.

They didn't know what had happened and were so frightened that they quickly got up and ran away.

The stall owner quickly pushed his cart and hurriedly left the scene.

As the food it loved was about to leave, the ancient beast immediately struggled, trying to jump out of Bai Yu's arms and catch up with the ice cream stall owner.

But the next second, Bai Yu tightened his arms, hugged the Ancient Music Beast, and rushed towards the thick fog without hesitation.

Bai Yu, carrying the Ancient Music Beast, ran straight into the Digital Realm without encountering any hindrance.

As his vision gradually cleared, the sounds of fierce fighting gradually reached Bai Yu's ears.

"Looks like someone's a step ahead of me," Bai Yu thought to himself, and then quickened his pace.

Once his vision was completely clear, Bai Yu saw two Digimon locked in fierce combat.

One of them was the fox-like beast that Bai Yu had seen before.

Another Digimon, with green skin, was wielding a thick wooden stick and relentlessly attacking Renamon.

Bai Yu's eyes narrowed, and he instantly recognized the Digimon.

At the same time, the system's voice rang in his mind: [Goblin Beast: Growing Stage, Demon Type, Virus Species, Strength Assessment: D-Rank.]

Just then, a clear, cold female voice entered Bai Yu's ears.

"It's you again. Are you trying to steal my prey again?"

Bai Yu looked in the direction the voice came from and saw it was Ruki.

Bai Yu was not surprised at all. The moment he saw the fox spirit, he knew that Ruki must be there.

Bai Yu replied to Liu Ji with a smile, his tone relaxed: "Don't think of me as such a bad person. I just happened to be passing by and saw that there was a Digital Domain here, so I thought I'd come and solve this problem."

Ruki didn't believe a single word Shiraha said.

She snorted coldly, then shifted her gaze to the ancient beast that Bai Yu was holding, and asked a question with a hint of curiosity and scrutiny in her tone.

"Is this your Digimon partner?"

At the same time, Ruki wondered to herself: What kind of Digimon is this? I don't recognize it.

As a leading figure in the digital card game industry, Ruki is confident in her extensive knowledge of Digimon.

She was certain that there were very few Digimon she didn't recognize, but the Archamon in Bai Yu's arms was indeed the first time she had ever seen one.

Bai Yu replied with a smile, "No, this little guy is someone I just met. He's a very cute little guy."

While Bai Yu was speaking, Gu Le Beast's eyes were curiously fixed on Rena Beast and Goblin Beast, who were engaged in a fierce battle.

Hearing Bai Yu say this, Liu Ji didn't say anything more.

She glanced at the Ancient Beast with curiosity for a couple more times, then turned her attention back to the intense battlefield.

Chapter 9: The Storm Beast Dial

Bai Yu also turned his gaze to the battlefield.

The battle has long been an unequal game.

The foxmon moved gracefully and calmly amidst the goblinmon's wildly swirling wooden club, its figure like a golden lightning bolt.

Finally, after once again nimbly leaping into the air to avoid the futile attack, a hint of impatience flashed in the golden eyes of the fox beast.

It glanced at Ruki not far away.

"Ryuhime, item card."

"Understood." Ruki's response was as concise as ever.

With a flick of her fingertips in the card holder, a card was pulled out and swiped cleanly on the D-Ark Tyrannosaurus Rex!

An invisible stream of energy surged from the Arc Light Machine and instantly flowed into the body of the Fox Beast.

A soft glow shimmered across its golden fur, and its power was rapidly increasing.

However, just as the outcome was about to be decided, a sudden change occurred!

A light far more dazzling than that emanating from Renamon erupted from Goblinmon's body, causing both Ruki and Renamon to freeze in their tracks.

Within the intense ball of light, the goblin's body was forcibly pulled and swelled, emitting a roar that was no longer sharp but instead filled with savagery and ferocity!

As the light faded, the goblin beast's figure vanished.

Instead, a monster that had grown several times larger, covered in crimson skin, and wielding a ferocious bone club—the mature Wind Calamity Beast!
