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

The Woodmon emitted a deep hum, its withered branches transforming into giant claws that swept out with a whooshing sound, aimed at the seemingly panicked Little Dogmon! This attack was quite fast even for the clumsy Woodmon, and it was almost guaranteed to hit a typical Rookie Digimon.

However, just as the withered claw was about to be annihilated!

A glint flashed in the puppy's eyes, and the power it had been suppressing exploded instantly!

Her petite figure seemed to transform into a white lightning bolt, her speed suddenly soaring to an astonishing level!

It darted past the giant claw's fingertips in the blink of an eye, so fast that it left a trail of afterimages!

"What?!" Lin Shi's smile froze.

A gasp erupted from the crowd: "So fast!"

"This speed...something's not right! This is definitely not the speed a growing puppy beast should have!"

It's important to know that Cheng Yuan invested a massive amount of his wealth in enhancing the basic attributes of the Puppymon (Gitomon form)! Although it has degenerated, some of its basic attributes are still there, making it far superior to an ordinary Puppymon!

Without stopping, the little dog beast dodged the entanglement and used the momentum of its charge to leap up suddenly, its target the relatively slender leg joints of the Wood Beast!

"Extreme Speed ​​Collision!" Although it is not a powerful offensive skill, the close-range sonic impact has the ability to interrupt skills, and more importantly, it is extremely humiliating!

In an instant, the dazed-looking Woodmon swayed, and Puppymon instantly summoned a Holy Light Bullet, which struck Woodmon.

The Holy Light Ball left scorch marks on the Rotten Wood Beast, but did not cause significant damage, since the bark has high defensive capabilities when mature.

Being provoked and attacked at such close range by a "tiny" growth-stage Digimon caused it to let out an angry growl. Lin Shi's face instantly turned ashen!

"Damn it! You dare to play me?! Rotten Wood Beast, use Giant Wood Charge! Smash it flat!" Lin Shi roared, feeling he had lost face.

The Rotten Wood Beast let out a deep, thunderous roar, and a gigantic, twisted branch, comparable to a battering ram, tore through the air, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind as it crashed down! Like a battering ram, it slammed into the little dog beast that had just landed!

This attack was powerful and covered a huge area, almost completely blocking the little dog beast's escape route!

"Watch out!" came shouts from the audience.

Cheng Yuan's eyes narrowed, knowing he couldn't take the hit head-on, but he didn't panic. The little dog beast used its clone ability, instantly splitting into four, with the four little dog beasts running in all directions.

Amidst the deafening roar, dirt and gravel flew everywhere, and a shocking crater appeared where the little dog had just stood.

"Four little dogs?" Guanchu@hu.

The rotten wood beast, overwhelmed by too many targets, was at a loss.

"Wow! This skill set is amazing!" Guan Yu exclaimed. "The little dog beast can not only shoot light bullets, but it can also create clones!"

A nauseating, grayish-green stench of decay emanated from the Woodbeast, attempting to corrode the approaching Puppybeast. This aura possessed a withering power, exceptionally effective against plant-type creatures, but also had a lasting negative effect on other types.

The little dog beast slowed down noticeably upon contact with the mist, its snow-white fur seemed to dim slightly, and it showed a hint of pain as the effects of the poison began to appear.

"Hmph! Let's see how long you can hold out!" Lin Shi breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this.

The suppression and power of skills during the mature stage do indeed have an advantage over those during the growth stage.

It seems that without bringing something truly impressive, it will be difficult to win this match.

The puppy-like beast, having received a Spirit Seed of Courage from AncientGreymon at the Activated Volcano in the Time-Space Secret Realm, gained mastery of fire-attribute powers. It had never had the opportunity to use them before, but this time Cheng Yuan had the means…

"Little dog! Roast it to charcoal!" Cheng Yuan's words shocked everyone present. How could a sacred little dog be roasted?

The little dog beast nimbly jumped off the rotten wood beast, patted the red earring on its ear with its little paw, and its elemental energy instantly switched!

"One, two, three... eight!"

"Am I seeing things? A puppy-like beast can shoot fireballs?" (Observer's comment)

Eight pure and intense fireballs gathered around the puppy beast, the flames leaping and rising, carrying an aura of burning battle intent, before shooting towards the wood beast.

The natural suppressive force brought about by the elemental clash caused the frenzied Wood Beast's movements to become sluggish.

It could not tolerate being provoked by a small, growing creature, and it loathed the smell of the flames.

Countless dark green tree branches, dripping with putrid slime, thrashed wildly at the fireballs like a swarm of snakes!

However, the fireball that was swatted away actually turned around and flew back!

"Its fireballs can track you?" Amidst the exclamations, the fireball struck the rotten wood beast precisely on the back.

The Rotten Wood Beast was in a panic trying to put out the fire. It was overwhelmed by the flames and couldn't even stop the Little Dog Beast from setting fires, so it charged at the Little Dog Beast.

Kite tactics! The puppy beast's speed suddenly increased, and it nimbly weaved and leaped through the gaps in the vines, constantly widening the distance between itself and the enemy. It maximized its speed and range advantage, retreating when the enemy advanced and harassing when the enemy retreated!

Then, it released several fireballs in a whooshing sound, which repeatedly ignited the body of the rotten wood beast.

The massive body of the Rotten Wood Beast became a burden. Its attacks were fierce but clumsy, and it could not effectively hit the white figure that could breathe fire. Instead, it was constantly being mobilized, its strength was being depleted, and the flames on its body were increasing.

Besides the fact that fire is effective against plant-type monsters, there is also the advantage of holy-type monsters against virus-type monsters. The fire is constantly weakening the stamina of the wood-type monster, but the wood-type monster can't reach the dog-type monster!

With a flick of its little head, the little dog-beast unleashed eight more fireballs, tracing eight beautiful yet deadly arcs of heat, like living spirits nimbly weaving through the poisonous vines and waving branches that hastily tried to intercept them!

The rotten wood beast panicked and clumsily dodged and blocked.

The fireball burned wildly like a firebomb, igniting its dry wooden body and producing crackling explosions, with charring spreading rapidly!

This is because Puppymon also incorporated light data energy into the fireball!

"Awooo!!!" The Wood Beast let out a terrible howl of extreme pain, its body shaking violently from the burning pain and joint injuries, its defensive posture completely collapsing!

The rotten wood beast rolled on the ground, frantically slapping at the flames, but the flames only grew stronger.

"continue!"

The little dog beast seized the opportunity and frantically summoned fireballs, eight at a time, pouring out towards the rotting wood beast rolling on the ground, like pouring oil on a fire, constantly intensifying the flames on the rotting wood beast's body!

Chapter 162 The Great Demon King Who Challenges the Dojo

On the battlefield, flames raged and completely engulfed the massive body of the Rotten Wood Beast.

The dead wood crackled and emitted a burnt smell, interspersed with the painful and muffled howls of the rotten wood beast.

The flames were no ordinary fire; they contained the sacred energy of the vaccine species to suppress the virus species, as well as the natural suppression of plants by fire. No matter how the rotten wood beast rolled and thrashed, the fire only intensified.

"That's enough! Stop! We surrender!" Lin Shi's face turned pale as he watched his partner being tormented by the flames. He could no longer care about saving face and hurriedly lifted the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

A beam of data shot out, retracting the rotten wooden beast that was about to turn into a giant torch.

The screen of the Drum machine flickered rapidly and even became scorching hot from absorbing an excessive amount of hot and chaotic data in an instant, with the outer casing turning faintly red.

Lin Shi felt a burning sensation in his palm, so hot he almost dropped it. He threw it into the water in the flower bed to cool it down, making a soft "hiss" sound and sending up a wisp of white smoke.

This scene drew gasps of surprise from the onlookers.

Cheng Yuan walked to the sidelines, a harmless smile on his face, and clapped his hands: "Senior Lin Shi, you're too kind. Well then, as agreed..."

Lin Shi was frantically scooping the Tyrannosaurus Rex out of the pool when he heard this. His body stiffened, his face turning from white to red to green, and he asked stiffly, "Wh...what agreement?"

The crowd booed.

"Huh?" Cheng Yuan feigned surprise and widened his eyes. "Senior, do you have a bad memory? I just promised in front of so many people—if I win, you'll have to formally apologize to Rose."

"When did I say that?!" Lin Shi was both shocked and furious, his face turning green.

"Oh! He can't even keep his promise to apologize, what kind of person is he!"

"They won't admit it? I heard it, and I can testify to it!"

"I can testify too!"

"That's right! You can't go back on your promise!"

"Would the senior from Huadu Xunda University go back on his word?"

"Or is it that only people like Hua Da bully little girls?"

The test-takers, who loved watching the video and didn't mind making things worse, immediately started shouting excitedly.

We're in the same industry!

Lin Shi's face turned completely liver-colored, his lips trembled, and he still tried to argue.

Cheng Yuan, however, gave him no further chances. He turned and beckoned to Balmon, Puppymon, and Gulemon, then whispered a secret message.

Lin Shiman's face turned bright red.

Zhu Caiwei covered her mouth, her eyes wide with a mixture of amusement and worry: "Forget it, Cheng Yuan, is it enough to teach him a lesson? We... shouldn't cause any more trouble."

She saw several people wearing Beast Tamer University uniforms coming over.

"Don't worry, Sister Caiwei, I know what I'm doing. I'm just giving this arrogant senior a little lesson so he'll learn to respect people and give Sister Qiangwei justice." Cheng Yuan blinked, his smile sly.

"Little Rose, I'm so sorry!"

"What? I'm not wearing a mask, I can't hear you!" Cheng Yuan said.

Zhu Qiangwei glanced at Cheng Yuan and said, "Yes, I can't hear clearly either."

"You!" Lin Shi was furious, but it was a fact that his Digimon had been defeated by the other party, and this young man's Digimon was only in its growth stage.

This is truly embarrassing.

The little dog summoned two fireballs, which hovered around Lin Shi, making escape impossible.

"Little Rose! I'm sorry!" Lin Shi shouted, then slipped away without looking back.

However, the entire battle had been recorded and posted on the school's intranet.

"Holy crap! That idiot Lin Shi has gotten himself into trouble again?"

"Being defeated by puberty? This is truly embarrassing!"

"Lin Shi's Rotten Wood Beast was in its mature stage, yet it was defeated by a growth stage? Are you kidding me? Who is this person?"

"They're from Pengcheng! They're definitely here to challenge us! We can't tolerate this!"

"Setting up a fight in front of the school gate? That's undermining them! How arrogant!"

"Go to the school gate, whoever is closest, go and deal with this! Letting outsiders hog the place is a huge blow to our reputation!"

And the instigator—Cheng Yuan—actually set up a makeshift arena right in the best spot facing the school gate!

There was also a sign standing nearby, its origins unclear, with large, eye-catching characters that read:

[A student from Pengcheng University visits Huada University; welcome to exchange ideas and learn from each other! (If you beat me, you're guaranteed admission!)]

He even deliberately blocked the school gate and said with a grin to a few candidates who wanted to go in for a visit: "Hey, want to get into Huada University? You have to get past me first. If you win, you can go in. If you lose, it's okay. You can go straight up the light rail from here and take a look at Pengcheng University!"

While he was blatantly slapping Huadu University in the face, he was also advertising for Pengcheng Beast Tamer University!

Before each challenge, he would have a serious expression on his face: "Sigh, I'm really torn. I don't know whether to choose Huadu University or Pengcheng University. I heard that a huge digital space has been discovered in Pengcheng, with many opportunities. I just don't know how his strength compares to Huadu University's..."

Then, after the battle, they would "encourage" the defeated freshman, saying, "You have great potential, welcome to Pengcheng University for an exchange (and cause trouble) in the future!"

Although the three major animal trainer universities have no shortage of oddballs challenging the competition every summer, this is the first time someone like Cheng Yuan has set up a stage and deliberately caused a ruckus.

Of course, he was very careful with these visiting examinees, only touching them lightly and stopping short of interfering.

Even after the war, he would use his mysterious "system scan" ability (costing 100 wealth points each time, a drop in the bucket) to accurately pinpoint some minor problems or abnormal states in the opponent's Digimon breeding and give a few insightful suggestions.

"Your cat's data is very healthy, but the old injury on its left front paw hasn't fully healed. You should take better care of it."

"The evolutionary path of the seed beast has gone a bit astray. Feed it less metal ore and more wood-type data fragments recently."

"Hey, your ore beast's core data is a bit unstable. Did you recently forcibly absorb too much high-level energy? It almost dropped in rank."

These well-timed tips often turn a candidate's initial anger into surprise, and then into admiration and goodwill.

High-profile yet understated, he managed to disrupt events while simultaneously building connections and a good reputation.

Many test takers were genuinely curious about the students at Pengcheng Beast Tamer University and wondered if they should actually go to Pengcheng for an "exchange".

But for the Huadu University Student Union, this is simply a direct insult!

"That's outrageous!"

A sharp, angry shout rang out, and the crowd quickly parted to make way.

A tall girl wearing the uniform of Huadu University and with a neat ponytail walked over angrily.

She immediately spotted Cheng Yuan, who was all smiles, and his smug little dog at his feet.

Then he sternly said to Cheng Yuan, "Who are you? Take down the arena right now! How dare you openly provoke me like this at the school gate! Do you have no manners at all?!"

Cheng Yuansi was not intimidated at all and said, "I have long admired Huadu Animal Training University. I want to see what Huadu Animal Training University relies on and how capable the senior students are so that I can decide whether to apply. Isn't this the tradition of animal trainer universities?"

Yes, last year there was a guy from Pengcheng who also blocked the road with a long bench and an Agumon.

"You!" Dong Jingjing was speechless for a moment, her teeth clenched.
