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

Its wish to reunite with its dog-like teacher has been fulfilled. After experiencing a series of hardships, including being deceived, sold, evolving incorrectly, and causing rampage, what it truly desires deep down is to gain powerful strength to protect itself and prevent itself and its friends from being deceived and bullied again.

Pointing at the stubborn beast, it asked Cheng Yuan foolishly, "Is it... very strong? Can it be my... elementary school teacher?"

Cheng Yuan roared inwardly: He's incredibly strong! He's more than qualified to be your postdoctoral supervisor!

But he calmly replied, "Yes! It is the strongest among teachers, and the most skilled teacher among the strong! Its strength can shatter the heavens, and its footprints are all over the world! By learning from it, you will gain unprecedented power!"

The stubborn old man felt completely comfortable thanks to the emotional support provided by Cheng Yuan, especially the phrase "the strongest among teachers" and "the best teacher among the strong," which hit his biggest sore spot.

It couldn't help but secretly give Cheng Yuan a thumbs up, pressing its palm down gently, meaning "keep it low-key, keep it low-key," but the slightly upturned corners of its mouth completely betrayed its secret delight.

Cheng Yuan understood immediately and pressed on, his tone becoming serious: "But! Becoming its student doesn't guarantee you'll become stronger! You must have the determination to endure hardship, undergo the most rigorous study and training, and absolutely cannot slack off! Only in this way can you barely keep up with the stubborn teacher's pace! Can you do that?"

The mischievous monkey puffed out its little chest, its eyes burning with fighting spirit: "I'm not afraid of hardship! I'll definitely keep up!"

The stubborn old man was very satisfied with the monkey beast's answer and stroked his silver-white hair with his hand.

"Hmm, not bad." Cheng Yuan nodded: "You stubborn monkey, you and I have shared joys and sorrows many times, like family, as close as brothers! Your teacher is my teacher, and I will honor our teacher as I would our parents... Stubborn teacher, do you think I'm suitable? Can I cultivate with you?"

Upon hearing this, the stubborn beast actually scratched its head of silver hair, carefully examined Cheng Yuan from head to toe, and then shook its head very seriously: "You? Your aptitude is still lacking, your foundation is too weak, you can't withstand my torment, no way."

Cheng Yuan: "..." (Sigh)

The little dog next to him couldn't help but cover its mouth and chuckle.

The Ancient Music Beast had a question mark expression on its face, as if it were saying, "What are they saying? I don't understand."

The Stubborn Beast glanced at the Ancient Music Beast again and said to Cheng Yuan, "Your opportunities for growth don't lie with me. You have many interesting things about you, so develop them well. You have a long road ahead of you."

Cheng Yuan sighed. Although he had expected it, he was still a little disappointed. It was a pity that he couldn't hold onto both of these super-powerful backers.

"Alright, little monkey, this matter is settled. Come with me." The Stubborn Beast beckoned to the Stubborn Monkey Beast.

The mischievous monkey nodded, ran to the little dog, and said with some reluctance, "I'm sorry, teacher, I can't go with you to fight Skullmon, Spidermon, and Renamon this time."

The puppymon was genuinely happy that the monkeymon had found such a powerful mentor. It smiled and comforted the monkeymon, saying, "It's alright. Next time we meet, maybe we can fight SkullGreymon, SpiderQueenmon, and Tenkomon together!"

The little guy is quite good at upgrading versions.

The two beasts made a sincere yet firm pact that transcended their species.

The stubborn beast looked around at the air that was gradually returning to its normal flow and muttered, "Alright, it's time to go. I signed an agreement with those guys at the Digital World Administration. If they sense it and come asking all sorts of questions, it'll be a real hassle."

Digital World Administration!

Cheng Yuan was shocked.

He knew about this organization; it was an international organization that stood above animal trainer associations, parliaments, shrines, and even churches around the world. It was equivalent to the "United Nations" of this world, specializing in handling global affairs related to the digital world. It wielded immense power and was incredibly mysterious.

So even creatures like stubborn beasts require agreements to be signed?

The waters of this world are far deeper than he imagined.

Cheng Yuan's eyes darted around, and he quickly said, "Hey! Grandpa! You've made such a commotion, crushing two divine generals and a bunch of fully mature beings, and you're just going to leave like this, leaving us here to take the fall? I've at least found you a satisfactory disciple, haven't I? I've put in the effort, even if I haven't done anything special!"

The stubborn beast stopped, tilted its head to look at Cheng Yuan, then looked at Rabimon and Inugamimon, who were still lying down but whose eyes were gradually regaining their clarity, as well as the soldiers and tamers who were watching them intently.

It was not a simple-minded Digimon; it instantly understood Cheng Yuan's predicament—staying here would indeed bring endless trouble.

“Troublesome kid…” the stubborn beast muttered, but still made a decision.

Its gaze first swept over Lin Tao and Peng Bo in the distance. Its voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached their ears: "You saw nothing and know nothing about what happened here today. Understand?"

Under that terrifying pressure, Lin Tao and Peng Bo could only nod with difficulty, unable to muster any thought of resistance.

Then, to Cheng Yuan's astonishment, the stubborn beast made an extremely "down-to-earth" move—it hooked its foot around the flip-flop on its foot, weighed it for a moment, and then kicked it hard towards the east with a "whoosh"!

Then, it picked up Cheng Yuan with one hand and the little dog beast, the ancient music beast, and the mischievous monkey beast with the other, bent its legs slightly, and jumped up suddenly!

Cheng Yuan felt the wind whistling past his ears, and the scenery was falling and rising rapidly! The next second, the stubborn old man actually stepped steadily on the slipper that was flying in the air like a surfboard, and soared along with the slipper.

Physical flight magic?!

Cheng Yuan was truly stunned by this audacious move! You, a supreme ultimate-level expert, don't need spatial teleportation or energy flight to travel; do you really have to resort to such a "flavorful" method as wearing slippers?!

The slippers carried them, transforming into a streak of light too thin for the naked eye to see, passing through the skyscrapers of Shanghai, crossing the plains and wilderness of the suburbs, and finally arriving above a vast, deserted beach, where they landed steadily on the sand.

With his feet firmly on the ground, Cheng Yuan was still a little dazed.

"Alright, kids, that's enough for you. I'm going home to grab some things, then I'll take the little monkey into that damned Digital World for some serious training." The stubborn beast put them down and clapped its hands.

"Broken Digital World? You mean the Dark Area?" Cheng Yuan asked.

"The Digital World is the Digital World, and the Dark Area is the Dark Area. See you another day." The stubborn old man whistled towards the sea.

Whoosh!

On the sea not far away, a huge turtle-shaped Digimon emerged, its shell covered with strange patterns.

Although it is only a tortoise-like beast in its growth stage, it is several times larger than its ordinary counterparts, clearly indicating that it is also a variant.

The mischievous monkey asked curiously, "Is it also your apprentice?"

The stubborn beast scoffed: "How could that be? It's just a servant I'm temporarily keeping here to guard the house."

【Turtle Beast (Large)】

[Data Seeds - Transformation]

[Growth Period]

[Skills: Directional Arrow, Helmet Fist, Shell Protection]

[Description: A gigantic mutated turtle-like beast with outstanding defensive capabilities, a mild temperament, and skilled in manned flight.]

Watching the Stubborn Beast, carrying the Stubborn Monkey Beast, stand on the Turtle Beast's broad shell and slowly swim into the depths of the sea, Cheng Yuan suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar—

An eccentric old teacher, a lively and energetic little monkey apprentice, and a hardworking and dutiful giant tortoise, an island cabin... This feels so familiar...

and many more!

Cheng Yuan subconsciously touched his pocket, and his expression suddenly changed!

The shrunken Dark Ring was still with him! The monkey beast's severed tail had long since disappeared, leaving only this ring-sized dark artifact that still exuded a faint, ominous aura.

"Hey! You stubborn monkey! You old man! You forgot your things!" Cheng Yuan shouted at the figure in the middle of the sea, which had become a small black dot.

But the other party seemed not to hear, or perhaps even if they did, they were too lazy to turn around and quickly disappeared below the horizon.

Cheng Yuan's Dark Beast Armor has a Sea Dragon Beast spirit, but it was severely injured in the great battle in the ruins and is currently recuperating inside the armor. It is too weak to chase after it into the sea.

Cheng Yuan looked at the cold, dark ring in his hand, his feelings complicated.

This thing is a key item that was catalyzed by the rampage of the Ancient Beast's evolutionary light, allowing the Mischievous Beast to mutate and evolve into its Berserk Ultimate form. It is definitely not an ordinary item.

It contains a vast amount of chaotic and dark data, making it both powerful and dangerous.

He glanced at the Dark Ring, then at the Holy Ring on the puppy beast's tail, and at the Shadow Ring and Flame Ring on its ears, and shook his head.

This thing absolutely cannot be used on the little dog beast for the time being. We need to find a way to purify it, or research whether it can be used by the Dark Warrior's Soul.

With everything at a standstill, a profound sense of exhaustion washed over me like a tidal wave.

Accompanied by his dog-like beast and his gull-like beast, he arrived at a seaside tourist town some distance from the beach.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty and damp scent, blew across Cheng Yuan's face. He carried the little dog beast and led the ancient music beast into a clean guesthouse called "Seaside Retreat".

The owner was a warm-hearted middle-aged man. Seeing Cheng Yuan's slightly pale face and the well-behaved (actually weak) little dog in his arms, he thought that some college animal trainer students had brought their partners to the beach for special training and were tired. He thoughtfully arranged for them to stay in a quiet room with a sea view.

Closing the door shut out the noise of the outside world, Cheng Yuan finally relaxed completely. He carefully placed the puppy beast on the soft bed, and the Gu Le beast curiously jumped on as well, finding a comfortable corner to curl up in.

"Finally... we're safe for now."

Cheng Yuan let out a long sigh, as the accumulated fatigue and pain from all parts of his body surged up like a tide. He checked himself over; his human body was fine, but the problem was mainly the excessive consumption of the Flower of Light and the Flower of Darkness.

Both the Dark Warrior's Soul and the Light Warrior's Soul have fallen into silence and need time to recover.

He then carefully examined the puppy's condition.

The little guy is just exhausted and extremely weak after regressing to his growth stage, but with proper rest, his data will be replenished and he will recover.

Looking at its small, curled-up sleeping figure, Cheng Yuan felt a pang of heartache and tenderness in his eyes. This time, he really owed it all to it.

After settling the two little ones in, a strong feeling of sleepiness washed over me.

Before Cheng Yuan could even think about the complex information about the stubborn beast, the ultimate form, and the twelve gods, he collapsed onto the bed next to the puppy beast and fell into a deep sleep almost instantly.

Meanwhile, people in the heart of Shanghai were in a state of utter chaos and confusion.

The sheriffs worked hard to maintain order and reassure the public;

Builders and a large number of infrastructure and engineering workers started work overnight to repair the damaged streets and buildings;

Block the media and try to minimize the impact.

In the highest-level conference room of the Shanghai branch of the Beast Tamers Association, Lin Tao, the Dog God General, was rubbing his aching temples, dealing with endless follow-up matters.

Today, all animal trainers, sheriffs, soldiers, and civilians in the Beast Forest commercial district have been required to sign the highest level of confidentiality agreement.

The events of today, especially regarding the true identity and power of that "silver-haired old man," will be strictly kept under wraps and circulated only within a small circle at the highest levels.

The ultimate form has been born.

Is the agreement that the Four Divine Beasts signed with the powerful figures back then gradually loosening?

He took a deep breath and entered the name "Cheng Yuan" into the association's internal system to search for it.

The information that popped up on the screen was not much: basic identity information, temporary registration records in Shanghai, and some entertainment gossip reports from the internet about the champion of the Shenzhen mock exam and the "exchange" incident at Huadu University.

No other information could be found.

He had no access to the deeper layers of the files!

He immediately sent an application to the Pengcheng Animal Trainers Association to access Cheng Yuan's complete file.

However, the application was quickly rejected!

Lin Tao was stunned.

He is one of the Twelve Divine Generals, the Earthly Branch Dog General Beast Tamer, and the head of the Eastern Kingdom's Security Department. His authority is among the highest in the Eastern Kingdom's Beast Tamer Association! Who could refuse his request to access his information?

Only the divine general can refuse the divine general.

Meanwhile, at the Shanghai Animal Tamer University, Vice President Peng Bo was also extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

When he learned from Zhao Gang, Guan Yan and others who returned one after another that Cheng Yuan was not only the biggest contributor to the exploration of the ruins, but also captured the powerful foreign spy Lin Yu on his own!

More importantly, when he found out that most of the incredibly valuable ancient weapon construction data and information were stored in Cheng Yuan's arc light machine chip, he almost had a heart attack!

This is practically a super genius and a walking treasure trove delivered right to our doorstep!

Before even officially enrolling, his achievements were enough to overwhelm the school's points system!

In addition to the transformation of the werewolf warrior type Digimon, that puppymon with limitless potential surpassing others of its class, and the mysterious Armor Evolution ability...

This is practically the next Ji Yueheng! Shanghai University is definitely worth having!

"Find him! Find him immediately! Use all available resources! Once found, immediately include him in the 'Beast King Project' for top priority training! All resources should be directed towards him!" Peng Bo practically roared into the phone.

……

Shenzhen, construction site of the Death Digital Space Outpost.

Li Xiaochun, the Rabbit God General, is inspecting the progress of infrastructure construction at the outpost, accompanied by Xu Xin.

"Sister Xiaochun, this is the Digital Egg Storage and Incubation Center. We are committed to building the Death Digital Space Outpost into a comprehensive base that integrates combat, scientific research, and talent training. Our goal is to surpass the Fairy Forest of Huadu and the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts of Modu in the future..." Xu Xin introduced earnestly.

At this moment, the old-fashioned yet technologically advanced Earthly Branch Tyrannosaurus Rex device on Li Xiaochun's wrist vibrated slightly, and two pending approval prompts popped up on the screen.

[Shanghai Beast Tamers Association - Dog God General Lin Tao - Request to access the special archive: Cheng Yuan's file]

[Shanghai Beast Tamer University - Vice President Peng Bo - Request to access the special archive: Cheng Yuan's file]

Li Xiaochun raised his handsome eyebrows slightly.

She had already specially collected and encrypted the files of the top talents in Pengcheng into her own special archive, and any request to access them must be approved by her personally.

Are they trying to poach someone from my Shenzhen city? Or is it someone I've set my sights on?

No way!

Without a second thought, she tapped her finger and selected "Reject"! Both applications instantly turned into bright red "Rejected" status.

She put away the Digivice, as if nothing had happened, and her gentle smile returned as she said to Xu Xin, "Xu Xin, the construction of the outpost is important, but your own strength improvement cannot be neglected. How is your partner...?"
