Bai Ye leaned back in his chair, contemplating, and took out a Dao talisman.
"Water Charm!"
As the talisman burned, a stream of water appeared, swirling around Bai Ye's body. He then felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, his body warm and tingling.
Among the Five Spirit Charm techniques, the Water Charm was the only non-offensive Dao method. It could heal relatively minor injuries and restore a certain amount of stamina.
Normally, Bai Ye wouldn't need the Water Charm, as not every opponent could push him into an arduous battle. Thus, the Water Charm wasn't very cost-effective for him. However, after continuous combat, a Water Charm was quite pleasant.
After using the Water Charm, Bai Ye still had no intention of leaving the subway station.
Bai Ye didn't want to trouble Bai Lu, and the Arms Queen was no easy opponent either. Furthermore, after the continuous battles, Bai Ye needed to adjust his state. More importantly, it was almost midnight, and the gashapon machine was due for a reset.
There were no restrictions on when one could draw from the gashapon machine, but it reset every day at midnight. With less than fifteen minutes remaining until midnight, Bai Ye naturally planned to wait out this period. Otherwise, it would be a huge problem if he left the subway station, got into a fight, and then the item he drew from the gashapon machine suddenly became unusable mid-battle.
He took out a packet of beef jerky, peeled off the wrapper, and popped it into his mouth. After drinking some water, midnight quickly arrived, and Bai Ye re-summoned the gashapon machine.
"I'm not asking for much. If I can trade the lifespan of my neighbor Old Wang's dog's mistress's son's lover for something on the same level as the Flying Dragon Sword Style, I'd be happy." Bai Ye muttered to himself, performing a mock bow in all directions, and then said, "Go!"
The gashapon machine quickly emitted the sound of mechanical rotation, and then a capsule dropped out.
"Aha!" Bai Ye looked at the capsule on the ground and chuckled, "Sometimes metaphysics works."
The capsule that fell to the ground was, strikingly, a black one.
When Bai Ye opened the capsule, a large expanse of golden light bloomed. Immediately, the light gradually condensed and took shape, transforming into the form of a dinosaur, yet distinctly different from ordinary dinosaurs.
Its head skin was completely hardened, covered with a carapace like that of a beetle. It possessed sharp claws and massive, horned brows, giving it a majestic appearance.
Tyrannomon (Digi-Beast) (Black): A dinosaur-type Champion-level Digi-Beast with a Vaccine attribute. It is a very aggressive Digi-Beast with high intelligence.
Effect: Mega Flame (Spouts high-temperature flames to incinerate everything). Ultimate Evolution (Can evolve into the ultimate form, WarGreymon. This form lasts for 30 minutes. After the duration, Tyrannomon will de-evolve into the Rookie-level Digi-Beast Agumon, requiring three hours of rest before returning to Champion-level.)
"It's a Digi-Beast!"
Bai Ye looked at the behemoth before him, stroking his chin.
The concept of Digi-Beasts was something Bai Ye generally looked down upon, as its weakness was quite obvious: the controller of the Digi-Beast.
No matter how powerful a Digi-Beast was, if its controller wasn't strong enough and became a target for the enemy, the Digi-Beast's power would be meaningless.
However, this was a common affliction for most chosen ones in the Digi-Beast world. But was he a chosen one in the Digi-Beast world? No! Was he part of the majority? Not either!
"Therefore, there's no problem at all. I'll protect myself, and you'll be responsible for taking down the opponent." Bai Ye patted Tyrannomon's thigh, "I hope we have a pleasant partnership!"
Tyrannomon, true to its description, was very intelligent and could understand Bai Ye's words. It let out a low growl in response and rubbed its body against Bai Ye.
However...
Tyrannomon's strength was clearly too great, and Bai Ye was sent tumbling to the ground by its backside.
The next moment, a look of guilt flashed in Tyrannomon's eyes.
Bai Ye immediately found it amusing. This guy was surprisingly human-like.
"Don't mind it," Bai Ye reached out again and patted Tyrannomon, "I'm not that fragile!"
Bai Ye got up from the ground and walked back to the gashapon machine to draw the second capsule. Then...
"Holy crap!" Bai Ye exclaimed in surprise, "Is the mistress of Old Wang next door's dog's son's lover some kind of valuable exotic dog? Is ten years of lifespan worth this much?"
The second capsule that rolled out of the gashapon machine was also black.
When Bai Ye opened it, inside was an ancient tome with the words "Xuan Ming Divine Palm" emblazoned on it.
The moment the tome entered his hand, it transformed into golden light and entered Bai Ye's body.
Xuan Ming Divine Palm (Martial Art) (Black): An extremely venomous palm technique. The palm force is like an overwhelming tide, and an extremely chilling internal energy will surge into the body, causing the entire body to become bone-chillingly cold in an instant. The injured person will exhibit dark green five-fingered palm prints on their body. The cold poison entering the body makes the wound feel cold to the touch, like touching a piece of ice, yet burning like a charcoal fire, causing immense pain.
"It's over, it's over! Let's go home, let's go home!"
Bai Ye felt like cheering.
Bai Ye had no doubt about Tyrannomon's power, but as a Digi-Beast, its drawbacks were indeed present. And now, he had obtained a powerful martial art to strengthen his close-combat abilities, compensating for the potential weaknesses of a Digi-Beast.
What was left to play for?
There was nothing left to play for!
He could beat anyone he encountered!
Bai Ye's confidence soared instantly. Even if Situ Chicheng appeared before him now, Bai Ye would dare to confront him head-on.
Moreover, he had only drawn two capsules, saving the last one as a contingency. And this time, Bai Ye wouldn't hesitate to spend his Divine Stone Shards.
Divine Stone Shards were precious, but the reward for his wish was definitely worth at least one Divine Stone Shard.
Bai Ye thought to himself as he beckoned Tyrannomon and walked towards the subway station exit.
Forget being a sneaky operative, from now on, I am the God of War!
Bai Ye strode out of the subway station with his head held high and began to advance along the street, and then...
Bai Ye was somewhat 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.
It had been so lively earlier, with five people killed in just over an hour. Yet now, there wasn't even half a person to be seen? Had they all hidden away?
Bai Ye felt a bit flustered. When he wanted to play the sneaky operative, they all showed up one after another. Now that he wanted to engage in a direct confrontation, they had all hidden away like shrinking turtles? This wasn't how the game was supposed to be played!
As Bai Ye was thinking, on the advertising projection screen of a milk tea shop by the street, the list of surviving personnel suddenly refreshed.
Bai Ye had indeed wandered for an hour, and the new list had just been refreshed.
