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

"Although you can only spit out holy light eggs the size of quail eggs right now, if you keep improving your light attribute and keep training, we might be able to develop some useful skills."

He drew several crosses on the metal frame of the factory, clearly intended as bullseyes.

"Let's improve the power and accuracy of the Holy Light Bullet."

The little dog let out a pitiful whimper and looked at Cheng Yuan with a pitiful expression.

"Go ahead," Cheng Yuan said, forcing himself to sit up. "I'll give you something strong."

After saying that, he recharged the puppy beast with 100 points of light attribute.

Wealth Value: 23040 (-10000)

[Element: Light 1320 (+100)]

The power of spending money!

The little dog instantly perked up, its ring emitting a dazzling light.

For the next hour, the playground was filled with continuous "pop" sounds. At first, the little dog beast's holy light bullets were the size of quail eggs, but now they were the size of chicken eggs, and their power had increased considerably, transforming from a simple black scorch mark into something with the power of a slight explosion.

Moreover, although it used to miss the target six out of ten times, under Cheng Yuan's patient guidance, its hit rate gradually increased to 80%.

Cheng Yuan struggled to his feet, walked to the little dog, and fed it some milk.

The puppies have now entered their growth stage, and their digestive system has begun to materialize, allowing them to gradually begin to accept human food.

The training ended at 6 p.m.

Cheng Yuan slumped on the bench, his whole body aching. The little dog was lying on his lap, too lazy to even wag its tail.

"We'll continue tomorrow. After the weekend, we'll train for two hours after school. If we stick to this pace for two weeks, we'll definitely see a significant improvement!"

"Cheng Yuan... stop talking the talk, woof!" The little dog beast rarely uttered a complete sentence.

It's still learning to speak, so it's inevitable that it will stumble a bit when it does.

"What are you talking about! As a beast tamer who uses his brain, my main training focus is on my brain. Who knows, maybe in the future I can even give you a 20% boost in combat power, believe it or not?" Cheng Yuan said seriously.

"I believe you! I believe you're lying!" The little beast rolled its eyes.

Chapter 10 The Power of Role Models

At eight o'clock in the morning, the area in front of Pengcheng No.1 Middle School was already crowded with people.

Cheng Yuan stood in the welcoming procession, his fingers unconsciously stroking the sacred ring on the little dog beast's head.

This wasn't the first time Cheng Yuan had heard the name Xu Xin.

For the past two weeks, rumors about this legendary senior have been circulating on campus—

A year ago, he was a student in an ordinary class who didn't even have a Digimon and whose grades weren't particularly outstanding. Yet, he was admitted to a top-tier Beast Tamer University, making him a true grassroots celebrity.

He wasn't particularly outstanding normally, and his family background was ordinary, but he suddenly took off in a short period of time, which is somewhat similar to Cheng Yuan.

Rumor has it that during an accidental encounter in the digital space, he obtained an Agumon, and from then on, he was unstoppable, becoming the top seed of Pengcheng No. 1 High School. With his outstanding battle performance, he was admitted to Pengcheng Beast Tamer University of Science and Technology, and participated in the school team, winning awards in the National College Student Digital Combat Competition, thus making a name for himself.

It is said that his Agumon has evolved to adulthood and he has begun to carry out important missions assigned by the school.

On Monday morning, twenty trainee trainees from different classes lined up on both sides of the school gate with their adult Digimon.

There are also some Pengcheng No. 1 Middle School students and their Digimon, mainly focusing on the growth stage.

That's quite impressive.

It's not that Xu Xin is arrogant. In fact, he entered a beast tamer university and became a key member of the school team. His Digimon has also evolved to the mature stage, making him a qualified professional beast tamer. After graduation, his achievements will definitely surpass theirs.

Moreover, since they are talents who have graduated from our own school, we must make a grand spectacle of it.

Xu Xin originally returned to Pengcheng with a mission and also planned to return to the school to serve as a combat training teacher. He didn't want to be so high-profile, but he couldn't resist Principal Liu's enthusiasm.

The school went to great lengths, bringing together all the promising students who could potentially get into the Beast Tamer University to be the greeters, hoping to make them familiar with the school. If they could get Xu Xin's help, their path to the Beast Tamer University would be much smoother.

"Huh? This student looks a bit unfamiliar..." Principal Liu Guoliang saw a student he didn't recognize as he passed by the welcoming team, accompanied by a small dog-shaped Digimon.

"Could they be newly emerged Seed Students?"

As the principal walked past, Cheng Yuan turned to Kang Zhaodi beside him and whispered, "Hey, big guy, who's this teacher who's about to arrive? Does the principal have to greet him personally?"

Kang Zhaodi replied in a loud voice, "I don't know. The Beast Tamer University is already mysterious. Most of the Digimon that graduate from the Beast Tamer University have already evolved to maturity. This 'teacher' is said to be a current university student, and he's even our senior. He graduated from Pengcheng No. 1 High School. He's the pride of Pengcheng No. 1 High School and Principal Liu's darling."

"In that case, he must be a true professional animal trainer."

Regardless, this was the first time Cheng Yuan had ever met a trainer who possessed a Champion-level Digimon, a person who truly wielded destructive power.

In this world, mature Digimon have the ability to change the course of local battles.

but……

"Zhao Lu, what brings you here too?"

"Why can't I come? My Caprimon also successfully evolved into Gearmon last night!" The silver Gearmon on the girl's shoulder clattered as its mechanical parts turned.

Cheng Yuan learned that the Gearmon in this world has a silver body and is a Data type Digimon, unlike the virus-infected Gearmon in the original anime. It can be said to be a subspecies of Gearmon.

He opened the Digimon Encyclopedia:

Gear Beast

[Data Type - Mechanical Type]

[Growth Period]

[Skills: Gear attack, high-speed coiling, electric shock device]

[Description: With a gear-like body, its overall appearance resembles a giant gear. Countless gears are arranged inside its body, constantly rotating to provide power for the Gear Beast's life activities. If even one gear falls out, all the gears in its body will stop working.]

"Last night? And you were able to arrange it so quickly?"

"Hmph, I didn't want to come. It's just a professional animal trainer, as if everyone has one. If my dad hadn't called the principal, I could have slept in a little longer."

Cheng Yuan was speechless for a moment. Well, it's all about human relationships and social interactions.

Zhao Lu's father is not only a sheriff but also a professional animal trainer. If he made this arrangement, it's probably to help Zhao Lu become more well-known.

It seems that this senior, Xu Xin, is much more important than I imagined.

For a moment, Cheng Yuan was filled with anticipation.

Amidst the whispers, the principal led a young man over. The teachers took the lead in applauding enthusiastically, which inspired the students to join in. Cheng Yuan mechanically clapped along as well.

The young man walking next to the principal was dressed in simple casual clothes and had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes, hidden beneath his buzz cut, were as sharp as an eagle's. He waved awkwardly, clearly uncomfortable in this situation.

One procedure involved Xu Xin shaking hands with each of the students as he passed the welcoming team.

When he passed by Cheng Yuan, he mechanically shook hands and greeted him.

After Xu Xin shook hands with the next student, the little dog suddenly tugged at its owner's trouser leg: "Cheng Yuan, I sense a trace of dark energy on him."

Cheng Yuan knew that the sacred ring of the puppy beast had the ability to sense and detect dark energy, which made him have some doubts about Xu Xin.

Could it be that his Digimon is a dark type?

In the original Digimon series, the vast majority of Dark Digimon represent negativity, destruction, and cruelty, and are inextricably linked to Virus species.

After the welcoming ceremony, Xu Xin was led to the battle arena on the playground. Nearly a thousand students were already lined up on the playground, warmly welcoming the arrival and guidance of the legendary senior.

The power of role models—that's Principal Liu's goal.

After Principal Liu Guoliang's passionate speech, he handed the microphone to Xu Xin, asking her to give a speech and encourage the younger students.

Xu Xin didn't rush to speak. He looked around at his alma mater and the vibrant students below the stage, and said with some emotion, "During high school, my only thought was to become a beast tamer, and I had to get into a beast tamer university."

To become a beast tamer, I gave up many things, but after actually getting into beast tamer university and learning things I didn't know before, I suddenly realized how precious this relaxed and carefree life was.

In fact, Xu Xin is only a year older than everyone else. He should be in the prime of his youth and shouldn't have such feelings.

Cheng Yuanmin keenly noticed the shadow in his senior's eyes, realizing that life at the Beast Tamer University was definitely different from what he had imagined, or rather, from his previous life's university life.

In my past life, I was a model student in my freshman year, addicted to games in my sophomore year, rushed to study for credits in my junior year, and felt lost and addicted to the internet in my senior year while looking for a job or preparing for graduate school.

But the animal trainer college students in this world seem to be carrying something even heavier.

Xu Xin continued, "Let's not talk about that anymore. I'll tell you about some things that beast tamers need to pay attention to during their growth..."

When it came time for the Q&A session, Xu Xin smiled and said, "If any of you students have any questions, feel free to ask me. Because of time constraints, we only have three spots available."

Upon hearing this, the students were overjoyed and eagerly raised their hands.

Finally, a male student was randomly selected and asked: "Senior Xu, if you don't mind, may I ask what level of animal trainer you are now?"

No trainee animal trainer is uninterested in this.

Xu Xin laughed and said, "You guys know Chen Zhong, right? He was in the top class last year, the one who was on par with me."

"We know! Senior Chen, who consistently ranks in the top three." In comparison, the students have a deeper impression of this student who has been consistently among the top students in the senior year of high school last year, while they are unfamiliar with students like Xu Xin who suddenly appeared and rose to prominence.

Xu Xin smiled and said, "It's good to know. He and I both got into Pengkang University of Technology for Animal Trainers, but he's still a regular animal trainer. Maybe in two years, he'll become a senior animal trainer, and by graduation, he'll have the opportunity to become a professional animal trainer. That's the typical path for most animal trainer college students."

Cheng Yuan understood the implied meaning: Xu Xin was now a professional animal trainer.

A freshman professional animal trainer... Hiss—that's terrifying.

The second student asked how to get into the Beast Tamer University, and Xu Xin gave a very official and objective answer. In reality, there's no answer to this kind of question; everyone has their own method, and what works for one person might not work for another. And Xu Xin's method, in particular, wouldn't work for anyone.

The third question was drawn, and on the screen of the battle arena, student ID numbers were flying around...

When the big screen focused on "Cheng Yuan from Class 18 of Senior Three", everyone's attention was instantly drawn to him.

"Cheng Yuan from Class 18 of Senior Three! Please ask your question."

He recalled what the little dog had said about the aura of dark energy on Xu Xin and asked, "Senior Xu Xin, can we see your Digimon?"

Chapter 11 Dark Tyrannosaurus

The playground fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Xin, even the principal looked at her with anticipation.

What does that adorable yellow Agumon from the rumors look like now? Has it reached adulthood?

Xu Xin's face stiffened for a moment, and after a brief silence, she smiled gently again: "Of course, but everyone should be prepared."

He pulled out his Digivice from his waist and skillfully pressed the release button: "Come out, Digivice!"

"Boom!"

A jet-black beam of data shot into the sky, weaving into a massive outline in the air. When the light faded, a colossal, entirely blue-black creature appeared before them.

It has a triangular head covered in black bone armor, its body is covered in blue-black scales, and sharp bone spikes are arranged along its back. Its giant claws generate heat waves when they swing, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

"Wow!" The entire audience erupted in exclamations.

"So handsome!"

"Is this the power of maturity?"

"It's not quite the same as the Greymon in the encyclopedia..."

Cheng Yuan narrowed his eyes.

According to his memories from his previous life, Agumon's normal evolution should be the orange Greymon, but the blue-black monster in front of him is clearly a virus species corrupted by dark energy—DarkGreymon.

"Woof!" The little dog suddenly perked up its ears, its sacred ring emitting a faint golden light, and tensed its body as if facing a great enemy.

As a Digimon of the Holy type, it is particularly sensitive to dark energy.

Cheng Yuan gently squeezed its paw, signaling it to be quiet.

"Roar!" More and more people were making noise in front of DarkGreymon. Its originally calm gaze began to become somewhat impatient. Its thick tail slammed heavily on the ground, making the pebbles on the lawn jump up. It exhaled scorching breath from its nostrils.

Some timid students stumbled backward, and some even fell to the ground.

Digimon are not as cute as you might imagine, especially adult Digimon. Compared to their juvenile stage, they often become more ferocious, enormous, and aggressive.

"Tyrannomon, calm down." Xu Xin's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

DarkGreymon growled and reluctantly lay down, but its scarlet eyes still warily scanned the crowd.

A student took out a digital image book to scan DarkGreymon, only to find that his image book displayed a string of question marks.

"???"

It is clear that DarkGreymon is not included in the encyclopedia.

"It's not recorded in the catalog?"
