Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

His usually gentle gray eyes were now slightly narrowed, flashing with a sharp light.

Thugs.

The word instantly popped into Jianliang's mind.

A professional henchman who will fight any Digimon for a reward.

Prior to this, Kenryo had always thought that Ruki's style of action, which was enthusiastic about fighting and regarded defeating other Digimon as a way to become stronger, was already quite radical among Beast Tamers.

He has never really agreed with this.

In his view, Digimon are partners and friends, not tools for fighting or showing off.

But he never expected that he would encounter someone even more radical than Ruki today.

This guy named Bai Yu has even turned the battle with Digimon into a business!

This was completely beyond Jianliang's comprehension.

His gaze toward Bai Yu began to scrutinize and wary.

Bai Yu took in the reactions of the three: Ruki's arrogance, Kei's innocence, and Kenryo's vigilance.

His smile remained unchanged, as if he was completely unaware of Jianliang's unfriendly gaze.

Chapter 14 The Ancient Music Beast is rather special

"You've handed out all your business cards. Now, can our battle begin?"

Ruki's voice rang out again, carrying a hint of barely suppressed urgency.

Her purple eyes, like burning amethyst, were fixed intently on Bai Yu.

However, Bai Yu remained calm and composed, simply extending one finger and shaking it slowly.

"Wait a second."

After saying that, under the fiery gaze of Ruki, the puzzled look on Keito's face, and the wary watchful eyes of Kenryo, Shiraha walked straight towards the carefree little guy running around in the field.

He completely ignored the three gazes behind him and squatted down in front of the Ancient Music Beast.

Bai Yu wore a kind smile and spoke in an extremely gentle voice.

"Little guy, do you remember me?"

The ancient beast stopped running, raised its little head, and curiously looked at the white feather in front of it.

After a moment, it seemed to remember something, a hint of joy flashed in its innocent big eyes, and it nodded its little head vigorously.

"Ancient music!"

It remembers the human who offered it ice cream.

Seeing that Gu Le Shou still remembered him, Bai Yu's smile deepened, and he continued in a gentle tone, "Since we've run into each other again, let me treat you to something delicious."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu took out a bread bag from his coat pocket.

The bread still emitted a faint sweet aroma; he had just bought it on a whim, intending to use it to fill his stomach.

The eyes of the Ancient Beast lit up instantly at the sight of food.

It was hungry and, without any hesitation, reached out its little hand to take the bread.

She opened her little mouth and took a big, hard bite.

The soft texture and sweet taste melted in his mouth, and Gu Le Shou happily squinted his eyes, eating with even more joy.

"Ancient music!"

Seeing this, Matsuda Hiroto, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He looked at Shiraha and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Shiraha-kun, do you... do you know this Digimon?"

Bai Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I know him. This little guy is quite cute."

Seemingly understanding that Bai Yu was praising him, the ancient beast, which was engrossed in eating, looked up and gave Bai Yu a bright smile. Its adorable appearance was enough to melt anyone's heart.

Qi Ren smiled as he looked at the adorable appearance of the Ancient Music Beast, but then his expression turned hesitant and confused.

He glanced at Bai Yu, then at Gu Le Shou, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to begin.

"But... this Digimon..."

Qi Ren's hesitant expression stirred something within Bai Yu.

Bai Yu turned his head, his gaze returning to Qi Ren, and asked, "What happened to the Ancient Music Beast?"

Could it be that they noticed the unusual nature of the Ancient Music Beast so early on?

Logically speaking, shouldn't it be like this?

Qi Ren said somewhat embarrassedly, "None of us know this Digimon."

After speaking, Qi Ren scratched his head, his cheeks slightly flushed, realizing that he lacked knowledge and was like a less-than-qualified animal trainer.

So that's why, Bai Yu suddenly realized.

Then, Bai Yu smiled and explained, "The Ancient Music Beast is a bit special. It's normal that you don't know it. It would be strange if you did."

"So, according to you, you know this Digimon, which makes you strange, right?" Ruki's cold voice rang out, not missing any opportunity to confront Shiraha.

Bai Yu glanced at her and retorted, "I call this special. You little girl really don't know how to talk."

"Humph!"

After being rebuffed, Ruki snorted and continued, "This little guy, even the Arc Light Machine can't find any information about him."

As soon as Ruki finished speaking, Kenryo chimed in, "That's right."

At the same time, Jianliang also took out his D-Ark Tyrannosaurus Rex machine to show it off.

Jianliang then aimed the arc light machine at the ancient beast, who was happily eating bread.

A small light screen was immediately projected onto the screen of the arc laser machine.

The image of the Ancient Beast was clearly displayed on the screen, but the space next to the image, where detailed data should have been listed, was filled with a series of question marks.

Seeing this, Bai Yu suddenly realized something.

He had forgotten that the D-Ark Digimon also had the useful function of checking Digimon information.

If you really think about it, among all the generations of Dracula machines, the one with the fewest features is probably the first-generation 'Project Sacred'.

Hmm... and the fourth-generation Digimon doesn't have many functions either.

The first generation of the Sacred Project only had two basic functions: evolution and positioning.

The second-generation D3 Digivice, based on evolution and positioning, adds the ability to use Digital Spirit for armor evolution.

In addition, it comes with a contactless phone that can send messages, which greatly enhances its functionality.

The third-generation Arc Light Machine is more comprehensive, integrating four major functions: evolution, positioning, card swiping, and querying digital beast information.

As for the fourth generation...

The fourth-generation Tyrannosaurus Rex, also known as the scanner, primarily functions to locate, store Fighter Spirit, and store data.

Strictly speaking, it only has two functions: location and storage.

Even without the Raptor Machine, Takuya and his friends can still use the Fighting Spirit.

Because they are inherently bound to the spirit of the fighter.

The so-called fourth-generation fighter jet is, in the final analysis, nothing more than a high-quality imitation tool created by that "telecom fraud beast".

Whether or not this thing exists doesn't really have much impact on Takuya and the others.

With a matter-of-fact smile on his face, Bai Yu said to the group, "The arc light machine isn't omnipotent either."

"In short, this little guy is special, and you'll find out later."

Bai Yu's deliberately mysterious words silenced Qi Ren and Jian Liang, and they did not continue to ask about the Ancient Music Beast.

As for Ryuki, she didn't care at all whether the Ancient Music Beast was special or not.

In her opinion, what could be so special about such a little one who can only act cute and eat?

She urged him again, her purple eyes fixed on Bai Yu: "How long are you going to dawdle? Let's start our battle!"

However, Bai Yu once again completely ignored her.

This made Ruki so angry that she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists so tightly they made a cracking sound.

Bai Yu's attention was entirely focused on the Ancient Music Beast in front of him.

The little guy ate very quickly; he had almost finished a loaf of bread.

Bai Yu looked at the Ancient Music Beast, his kind smile undiminished, and asked gently, "Little guy, is the food delicious?"

Gulemon nodded vigorously, a little breadcrumb still clinging to its little mouth, and cheerfully replied, "Delicious! Gulemon loves to eat! Gule!"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Bai Yu's smile deepened.

He continued persuasively, "Little one, look, I've already treated you to food twice."

"Just repay me, let me take something from you, okay?"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, the three beast tamers present reacted with varying expressions.

Liu Ji's face was full of disdain. She thought Bai Yu was utterly shameless, actually managing to fool such a little guy.

Qi Ren looked confused; he didn't quite understand why Bai Yu would say that.

Jianliang, who was more meticulous, had his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of vigilance as he looked at Bai Yu.

The Ancient Music Beast didn't think too much about it; it simply tilted its little head and looked at Bai Yu with a puzzled expression.

"You are a good person, Gu Le Shou likes you."

"But... Gule has nothing to give you, Gule."

Bai Yu shook his head with a smile, his tone exactly like that of the wolf in sheep's clothing trying to seduce Little Red Riding Hood.

"It's good that you agree. Actually, you don't need to do anything, and it will be fine soon."

"However, it might tire you out a little later."

After saying that, without waiting for the Ancient Music Beast to react, Bai Yu reached out and gently picked up the innocent little guy.

"What do you want to do?" Jianliang's wary voice immediately rang out.

Bai Yu ignored Jian Liang completely, not even sparing him a glance.

The next second, something appeared out of thin air on Bai Yu's right hand.

It was a belt with a rather peculiar design.

The belt has an overall rustic stone gray color, covered with fine cracks, as if it were an artifact unearthed from an ancient site, which could break at any moment.

If anyone who has seen Kamen Rider is here, they might be able to recognize him.

This is Archita's transformation belt.

However, the belt in front of them was clearly just a blank item without any power.

Chapter 15: Put down the Ancient Music Beast!

Under the adorable gaze of the Ancient Music Beast, Bai Yu brought the belt close to its forehead.

The center of the belt was precisely aligned with the iconic inverted red triangle on the forehead of the ancient beast.

The next second, the inverted triangle mark on the forehead of the Ancient Music Beast burst forth with dazzling light!

A pure, flowing light, as if drawn by some invisible force, surged forth from the symbol.

It pierced straight into the blank belt in Bai Yu's hand!

Om-!

The belt emitted a soft hum, as if a sleeping ancient artifact had been awakened.

The fine cracks that were originally all over it began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye as the light flowed in.

That layer of stone gray, which looked like it had been weathered for thousands of years, began to peel away piece by piece, revealing a brand new metallic luster underneath!

This scene was clearly witnessed by Ruki, Keito, and Kenryo.
