Digimon: I really didn't want to be the Digimon Emperor!

May good fortune arrive, may five blessings come to your door, and may everything go smoothly.

"A blacksmith wants to duel!"

A Digimon in the audience began to grumble in dissatisfaction. After all, Cheng Yuanmon had been exchanging energy beams the entire time during the auditions, without even touching his opponent with his sword. How dare he call himself a swordsman now?

"Chirp! Let me see what you've got!"

A yellow figure leaped lightly onto the arena, spread its wings, and drew its slender samurai sword with a clang.

【Chicken Beast】

[Vaccine Type - Bird Type]

[Growth Period]

[Skills: Peck, Wind Blade, Whirlwind Sword]

Introduction: The Chickmon has a small, yellow body and is full of curiosity about everything around it. It is always actively exploring new environments and things, and is a chick warrior who has set out to seek the way of the sword.

"You are not only a swordsman, but also a blacksmith. That's truly remarkable." Chickmon tilted its head, its beady eyes gleaming with cunning. "My Chickmon from the Samurai Village wishes to have a sword duel with you, but I have a small request. I wonder if you would be willing to grant it?"

"If I win, would you mind exchanging this sword of yours, imbued with divine power, for mine?"

Cheng Yuan nodded expressionlessly: "Okay."

"Come on, chirp!" The chick-like beast flapped its wings, and its katana drew a sharp arc, instantly causing several small arcs to surge around the arena.

A whirlwind, with sharp feather blades mixed in with the wind!

"Whirlwind Sword!"

The audience gasped. The Chick Beast's attack was clearly premeditated—it had been secretly gathering power while speaking, and now the whirlwind and wind blades struck simultaneously, sealing off all of Cheng Yuan's escape routes!

"It's over..." Xu Bing frowned. "The Qilin only has one Holy Light Bullet, how can we block it?"

However, Cheng Yuan merely smiled slightly, casually sweeping his longsword with the incantation, "Three Yangs Bring Prosperity!"

Three holy light orbs suddenly appeared, precisely shattering the wind blades and whirlwind!

Chick-like Beast: "???"

audience:"!!!"

"So there was more than one?!"

The chick-like beast was not to be outdone, swinging its katana repeatedly, unleashing a barrage of wind blades. Cheng Yuan, however, calmly parried with his sword, firing holy light projectiles one after another, which collided with the wind blades in mid-air, exploding into dazzling halos.

For a moment, the arena became a scene of "waves" clashing, which was more spectacular than the previous hand-to-hand combat.

"Aren't your movements a bit too exaggerated?" the little dog muttered softly, perched on Cheng Yuan's head.

"You don't understand," Cheng Yuan said in a low voice, his figure graceful as he brandished his sword in one hand and made a finger gesture with the other, "The more ritualistic it is, the higher the pretentiousness."

With that, he brandished his longsword, drawing a pentagram in the air: "Divine Sword Wave - Five Blessings Arrive!"

The little dog immediately understood, and five holy light orbs instantly appeared.

Cheng Yuan thrust forward, and five holy light bullets flew towards the chick beast in an encircling formation! The chick beast's expression changed drastically, and it desperately tried to dodge, but it was still hit by two of them and fell off the stage with a "squeak".

The entire room fell silent.

Then, "Wow, that's amazing!!!" The audience erupted in cheers. They felt that Cheng Yuan Beast's sword was incredibly powerful, capable of releasing five holy light bullets that perfectly suppressed the Chick Beast.

The chick-like beast scrambled to its feet, bowing its head in shame: "I lost... This sword is indeed extraordinary." But it realized it was not worthy of the sword and understood the gap between itself and the blacksmith.

"You flatter me," Cheng Yuan said with a smile. Dealing with opponents in their growth stage was no problem for ordinary opponents; after all, he was considered an "elite monster."

A mature-stage rogue beast wearing a straw hat and two swords at its waist appeared silently beside the chick beast.

It is the mature evolution of Chinchilla, and is likely the leader of the tribe to which Chinchilla belongs.

It gave Cheng Yuan a cold glance, and Village Chief Long immediately stepped forward to block Cheng Yuan's path.

The rogue beast glanced at the village chief, said nothing, picked up the chick beast, and turned to leave.

After the Chickmon was defeated, the arena fell silent for a brief moment.

"Who's next?" Cheng Yuan looked around, his sword tip slightly lowered, but his eyes remained sharp.

"I'll do it."

A steady voice came from the edge of the arena.

The audience turned their heads and saw an Agumon wearing a blue kendo uniform slowly walking onto the ring.

It had a long samurai sword at its waist, and its dragon tail swayed gently with its steps, appearing calm and unhurried.

Samurai Agumon

[Vaccine Type - Dinosaur Type]

[Growth Period]

[Skills: Mach Thrust, One-Character Slash, Small Flame]

[Introduction: Samurai Agumon is a dragon-type Digimon who loves swordsmanship and travels extensively to hone his skills. His swordsmanship is top-notch, and he prefers to use a sword to resolve battles rather than fire.]

"Samurai Agumon?" Cheng Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "A dragon-type Digimon is participating in the Humanoid League's kendo tournament?"

Samurai Agumon nodded slightly: "The way of the sword knows no race, only skill." It slowly drew its katana, the tip pointing at Cheng Yuan. "I've heard of your superb forging skills; how about your swordsmanship?"

Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "Why don't you try and see?"

Before the words were even finished, the figure of Samurai Agumon suddenly blurred. "Machlen Thrust!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Three sword shadows approached almost simultaneously, the tips of the samurai swords gathering sharp energy, aiming straight for Cheng Yuan's chest, throat, and wrist—three vital points!

"So fast!" With human skills, Cheng Yuan was completely unable to block it.

However, the sacred barrier erected by the puppymon, and the leaping out to use a high-speed charge, successfully blocked and interrupted Samurai Agumon's series of thrusts.

"Your attack with a flying hat is truly unconventional," said the samurai Agumon, referring to the "felt hat" that Cheng Yuan had thrown from his head. It was fast and powerful, and Agumon could barely block it.

Cheng Yuanhan replied, "You're not bad either."

"Ichimonji-zaki!"

Samurai Agumon continued its offensive, slashing horizontally with its samurai sword, unleashing a solid sword aura!

Cheng Yuan dared not be negligent, and brandished his longsword: "Holy Light Bullet!"

The golden light blast collided with the sword energy, creating a shockwave. The audience gasped in astonishment, never expecting such exquisite swordsmanship from this dragon-type Digimon!

"Your swordsmanship..." Samurai Agumon narrowed his eyes slightly, "...seems to rely entirely on Holy Light Bullets?"

Cheng Yuan shrugged: "As long as we win."

Samurai Agumon shook his head: "A true swordsman should not rely on external things."

Having said that, it suddenly lowered its body, sheathed its katana at its waist, and prepared to strike.

Cheng Yuan's heart tightened—this was about to unleash a powerful move!

"Ichimonji - Kiwami!"

"Waving around like that, it's asking for a beating—you little beast! Interrupt it!"

"Woof!" Just as Samurai Agumon was charging up its power, Puppymon suddenly roared.

This "dog roar" precisely interrupted the opponent's skill animation, causing Samurai Agumon to stagger and its attack to crumble instantly.

"Now!" Cheng Yuan seized the opening, pointing his longsword: "Divine Sword Wave - Six Sixes Blessing!"

"If you can't name your beast, you don't have to call it that—" the little dog beast complained as it summoned six holy light orbs.

The three Holy Light Bullets were hastily shattered by Samurai Agumon, but the other three still struck its chest squarely.

It groaned, staggered backward, and finally collapsed to the ground.

"I lost." Samurai Agumon readily admitted defeat, but his eyes gleamed with excitement. "Your swordsmanship... no, your fighting style is unconventional and has broadened my horizons."

Cheng Yuan reached out and pulled it up: "Your swordsmanship is very good, but it's too rigid."

Samurai Agumon nodded thoughtfully, bowed solemnly, and jumped off the stage. Although brief, the duel showed the audience a fighting style different from traditional swordsmanship.

However, some viewers disagreed with Cheng Yuan's fighting style, feeling that it violated the way of the sword.

Seeing that the little beast was still in relatively good condition, Cheng Yuan brandished his longsword and shouted, "Who else!"

He looked to the other side of the arena, where the purple Dracula was staring coldly at him.

"Tsk tsk, interesting, I'll give it a try."
