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

The battles proceeded in an orderly manner. Xu Xin paired up students of similar strength and watched the battles carefully, providing comments and suggestions one by one.

While watching the battle, Cheng Yuan rubbed the little dog's head. The attribute points he had recently spent on in-game purchases had greatly increased the little guy's strength, and he was now confident that he could take on anyone here one-on-one.

"Cheng Yuan, step forward!" When only ten people remained, Xu Xin suddenly called out Cheng Yuan to step forward.

The remaining ten are all the most outstanding trainees recently, including familiar faces such as Kang Zhaodi, Zhao Lu, Wang Wei, and Luo Wanning.

Xu Xin glanced at the confident Cheng Yuan and announced the rules of the battle: "You students have all made rapid progress recently, so the rules need to be changed. Hmm, let's change it to a one-on-one battle with the class representative."

"A one-on-one fight?" Cheng Yuan was not afraid at all; he believed he could win.

"It's the nine of you taking on the class representative one-on-one."

"What?" Cheng Yuan was dumbfounded. "Teacher Xu, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? I can take on the whole group by myself?"

"That's right," Xu Xin said with a devilish smile, "You alone are going to fight all nine of them."

The training ground erupted in chaos.

Kang Zhao excitedly cracked his knuckles, making a "crack" sound. Zhao Lu pushed up her glasses, while Wang Wei revealed a malicious smile; they all looked impatient.

"This isn't fair!" Cheng Yuan protested. "Nine of them ganged up on me! Isn't this bullying?"

"What's fair or unfair on the battlefield?" Xu Xin patted his shoulder, so hard that he staggered. "Stop holding back, show your cards. If you can't last 10 minutes," he paused deliberately, "you won't need to come to class next week."

Cheng Yuan pursed his lips. Teacher Xu was determined to temper his recently arrogant attitude.

"Alright... ten minutes." Cheng Yuan took a deep breath, lifted the little dog beast in front of him, and said, "Let them see what it really means—if I can't afford to mess with them, I can at least avoid them!"

"Woof!" The little dog raised its tail proudly.

The whistle blew, and nine Digimon pounced at the same time, creating a scene comparable to a zoo riot.

The pangolin burrowed into the ground and charged forward, kicking up clouds of dust; the gear beast's flying saws buzzed; the hedgehog beast's needles rained down like a storm... The scene was chaotic for a time.

"Holy Light Balls!" Cheng Yuan shouted, and five orbs of light flew out from the chest of the little dog beast, drawing graceful arcs in the air as they struck five targets.

"Holy crap, so many!"

Several Digimon were rushing forward, jostling each other, unable to maneuver, and were caught off guard by the blast.

Cheng Yuan keenly noticed that the ground was shaking—the pangolin from Kangzhaodi was lurking underground!

"Shadow Clone!" he declared immediately. The little dog beast blurred, splitting into two clones, and the three white figures simultaneously fled in different directions.

"How come there's an extra clone?" Zhao Lu stared wide-eyed in surprise.

The pangolin, emerging from the ground, hesitated, unsure which one to chase.

Even more shockingly, these clones no longer disappeared in five seconds as before, but continued to exist, each leading two or three Digimon as they circled around the field.

As the three little dogs reunited, Cheng Yuan seized the opportunity: "Rapid Charge!"

The pangolin in the sky instinctively protected its weak belly, only to find that the charging little dog beast had vanished in a blur.

"Bang!" On the other side, the hedgehog was hit solidly and sent flying, followed by a Holy Light Bullet that finished it off, sending it straight out of the arena.

"A brilliant feint!" Xu Xin laughed heartily from the sidelines. "One kill!"

On the other side, the puppy beast charged forward like lightning, and when it got close to the pangolin, it suddenly let out a piercing roar, which interrupted the opponent's rolling stone skill.

The Floramon's tamer, in his cleverness, released poison spray in an attempt to restrict the Puppymon's movement, only to be met with a chorus of curses: "Are you an idiot? This will poison our own people!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the puppymon sprinted to the edge of the field, unleashing five Holy Light Bullets. Several Digimon hastily dodged, thinking they had successfully avoided the attack, but unexpectedly, the light orbs suddenly changed direction, circling around like suicide drones and launching a sneak attack from behind!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The Bugmon and Flowermon, hit by several bullets, fell to the ground.

"The Holy Light Missile can even track us?" Wang Wei wailed. "Is this some kind of cheat?"

Now that his trump card had been revealed, Cheng Yuan decided to go all out and employ a kiting tactic. His unpredictable Holy Light Bullet took down two more Digimon, leaving only Gearmon and Sandslammon on the field.

"It's better if no one else gets in the way!" Kang Zhao shouted. The pangolin burst from the ground, its Earth-Splitting Claw sweeping across the entire area—a wide-area attack with virtually no escape!

Behind them, Zhao Lu's Gear Beast erected a high-voltage electric grid, blocking the Puppy Beast's retreat. Dense lightning balls and holy light bullets clashed, giving the Puppy Beast no chance to use its roar to interrupt its skill.

"Little dog beast, in the air!" Cheng Yuan thought quickly.

The puppy beast charged and leaped into the air at lightning speed, dodging the power of the Earth-Splitting Claw. In mid-air, it summoned five Holy Light Bullets to block the Lightning Ball, and at the same time, it suddenly summoned four Shadow Balls! These pitch-black energy balls attacked the pangolin without any pattern.

The pangolin had just used its Earthclaw, but its strength was running out, and it was unable to dig underground. It simply endured several Shadow Orbs.

However, while these heavily armored Digimon could withstand the blast of Holy Light Bullets, Shadow Balls, being highly corrosive, were the bane of their scales. Hit by four Shadow Balls simultaneously, the pangolin's scales were corroded, creating four holes that hissed and crackled, revealing the flesh beginning to rot inside.

This is because it's countered by dark-type blood.

Holy light overcomes darkness, and darkness overcomes everything else.

"Stop!" Xu Xin suddenly called a halt to the match. "Did you all see that? This is the consequence of a lack of teamwork!"

Gear Beast stopped in time, and Puppy Beast landed, panting and exhausted.

The nine tamers looked at each other, their faces full of embarrassment, and each ran to comfort their own Digimon.

Cheng Yuan quickly used his meager wealth points to add some to the little beast's arsenal, then pulled out an energy drink and poured it into its mouth. "Drink slowly...don't choke..."

"Well done, partner." Cheng Yuan rubbed its little head. "But next time, could you tell me in advance when you learned to create two shadow clones?"

"Woof~" The little dog wagged its tail proudly, its expression clearly saying: Surprised?

"Cheng Yuan's performance was outstanding," Xu Xin commented, "but what's even more worth learning is his tactical thinking—finding opportunities in disadvantages and creating advantages in chaos."

He surveyed the crowd, his voice suddenly turning serious: "From now on, whether in the wild or in the digital realm, you are highly likely to encounter hordes of wild Digimon. Remember today's lesson—"

"Whether in the wild or in the digital realm, when encountering a pack of wild Digimon, running away is not the only option. Calm judgment and a composed response are the keys to turning danger into safety!"

Cheng Yuan let out a long sigh of relief and slumped to the ground. The little dog was lying on his lap, panting heavily with its tongue lolling out, but its eyes were full of the joy of victory.

"Next week, our special training theme is: Digital Space!"

"We will venture deep into the northern suburbs of Shenzhen, to a famous digital space called Savage Valley."

"There's a very high chance you'll encounter a pack of wild Digimon. I hope you remember that! Don't get separated if you run into a pack of wild Digimon!"
