Bai Ye leaned back in his chair, contemplating his thoughts as he took out a Dao Talisman.
"Water Spell!"
As the talisman burned, a stream of water appeared, encircling Bai Ye's body. He felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, his body warm and tingly.
Among the Five Elements Spells, the Water Spell was the only non-offensive technique. It could heal minor injuries and restore a certain amount of stamina.
Ordinarily, Bai Ye wouldn't need the Water Spell. Not every opponent could push him into a desperate battle, making the Water Spell's cost-effectiveness low for him. However, after a series of fights, a Water Spell was quite comfortable.
After using the Water Spell, Bai Ye had no intention of leaving the subway station.
He didn't want to bother Bai Lu, and the arms queen was no pushover. Moreover, after continuous battles, Bai Ye needed to adjust his condition. More importantly, it was almost midnight, and the Gacha machine was due to reset.
There were no limits to the Gacha machine's drawing times, but the reset time was always twelve o'clock daily. With less than fifteen minutes left until then, Bai Ye naturally decided to wait. Otherwise, if he left the subway station and got into another fight, only to have the items drawn from the Gacha machine suddenly become unusable halfway through, it would be a real disaster.
He took out a bag of beef jerky, peeled off the wrapper, and popped it into his mouth. After drinking some water, midnight quickly passed, and Bai Ye summoned the Gacha machine again.
"I'm not asking for much. I'll trade ten years of lifespan from the lover of the son of the mistress of the dog my neighbor Old Wang raises, for something on the same level as the Flying Dragon Sword Style." Bai Ye muttered to himself, bowing to the surroundings before saying, "Here goes!"
The Gacha machine quickly produced a mechanical whirring sound, and a capsule dropped out.
"Aha!" Bai Ye exclaimed joyfully, looking at the capsule on the ground. "Sometimes metaphysics actually works."
The capsule that fell to the ground was, in fact, a black one.
When Bai Ye opened it, a vast expanse of yellow light bloomed. Then, the light gradually condensed and took shape, forming the appearance of a dinosaur, yet distinctly different from ordinary ones.
Its head was covered in hardened skin like that of a beetle, possessing sharp claws and enormous, horned, shell-like protrusions. It looked magnificent.
**Agumon (Digital Beast - Digimon) (Black):** A dinosaur-type Champion level Digimon with Vaccine attribute. It is a highly aggressive Digimon with a high level of intelligence.
**Effect:** Super Flame (Sprays high-temperature flames to burn everything). Ultimate Evolution (Can evolve into the ultimate form, WarGreymon. This form lasts for 30 minutes. After the duration ends, Agumon will de-evolve into the Rookie form, Agumon, and will require three hours of rest to return to the Champion stage.)
"It's a Beast Tamer!"
Bai Ye looked at the large creature before him, stroking his chin.
Beast Taming was a method Bai Ye tended to undervalue. This was because its weakness was quite apparent: the Beast Tamer themselves.
No matter how powerful the tamed beast was, if the person controlling it wasn't strong enough and became the target of the enemy, the beast's power would be meaningless.
However, this was a common problem for most chosen ones in Beast Taming worlds. But was he a chosen one in a Beast Taming world? No. Was he one of the majority? No.
"So, there's no problem at all. I'll protect myself, and you'll be responsible for taking down the opponent." Bai Ye patted Agumon's thigh. "I hope we have a pleasant cooperation!"
Agumon, true to its description, was very intelligent and could understand Bai Ye's words. It let out a low hum in response and rubbed its body against Bai Ye.
However…
Agumon's strength was clearly too great, and Bai Ye was directly knocked onto the ground by a nudge.
The next moment, guilt flickered in Agumon's eyes.
Bai Ye chuckled. This guy was surprisingly human-like.
"Don't worry about it," Bai Ye said, patting Agumon again. "I'm not that fragile!"
Bai Ye got up from the ground and approached the Gacha machine again to draw the second capsule. And then…
"Holy crap!" Bai Ye exclaimed in surprise. "Is the lover of the son of the mistress of the dog my neighbor Old Wang raises that valuable? Is ten years of lifespan worth this much?"
The second capsule that rolled out of the Gacha machine was also black.
When Bai Ye opened it, he found an ancient-looking manual. On it were the four characters "Xuan Ming Divine Palm."
The moment the manual entered his possession, it transformed into golden light and merged into Bai Ye's body.
**Xuan Ming Divine Palm (Martial Art) (Black):** An extremely venomous palm technique. The palm force is like an overwhelming tide. An extremely icy internal energy will surge into the body, causing one's entire body to feel bone-chillingly cold in an instant. Injured individuals will bear five-fingered palm prints of a dark green color. The cold poison enters the body, making the touch icy cold, like touching a piece of ice, while the surrounding wound burns as if from charcoal, causing unbearable pain.
"It's over, it's over! Let's go home, let's go home!"
Bai Ye felt like cheering out loud.
He had no doubt about Agumon's power, but the weakness of being a tamed beast indeed existed. As a result, he immediately received a powerful martial art to enhance his close-combat abilities, compensating for the potential shortcomings of a tamed beast.
What was the point of playing anymore?
It was time to stop!
Bai Ye's confidence surged instantly. Even if Situ Chicheng appeared before him now, Bai Ye would dare to confront him head-on.
Furthermore, he had only drawn two capsules, saving the last one just in case. And this time, Bai Ye wouldn't be stingy with God Stone Fragments.
Although God Stone Fragments were precious, the wish reward was definitely worth a God Stone Fragment.
With this thought, Bai Ye beckoned to Agumon and walked towards the exit of the subway station.
What old trickster? From now on, I am the God of War!
Bai Ye strode proudly out of the subway station and began advancing along the street. Then…
Bai Ye was a little bewildered.
Where were all the people? Where had everyone gone?
Bai Ye wandered the streets for nearly an hour, but he didn't see a single soul.
The previous fights had been so lively, with five people dying in just over an hour. Yet now, there wasn't a single person around? Had they all hidden away?
Bai Ye felt a bit flustered. When he wanted to play the trickster, everyone came out one by one. Now that he wanted to fight head-on, everyone hid away like cowards? This wasn't how it was supposed to work!
As Bai Ye was contemplating this, the survivor list suddenly refreshed on the advertising projection screen of a milk tea shop by the street.
Bai Ye had indeed idled for an hour, and by doing so, he had caught the refresh of the new list.
