Beast Taming Star Journey

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my wildly beating heart. The ground before me was intricate and complex, with towering wooden stakes like a dense forest, crisscrossing ropes forming a maze, and sharp stones scattered on the ground.

I could even feel faint roars emanating from the depths of the arena, sending chills down my spine. This wasn't an assessment; it was a death trap!

"Hmph, you think you can pass this test? You're dreaming!" Li's sarcastic voice came from the side. He stood with his arms crossed, a gloating smile on his face. "I think you'd better give up now, so you don't embarrass yourself and become a laughing stock."

I glanced at him but ignored him. I knew that Li had always disliked me and was targeting me at every turn; this time, he was even more eager for me to fail.

I clenched my fists, telling myself I couldn't let him influence me. Instructor Zhao stood at the edge of the area, watching me coldly, without saying a word.

I know he's convinced I can't pass the test. He's always been prejudiced against me, believing I'm of humble origins and unqualified to become a beast tamer.

"Let's begin." Instructor Zhao's voice rang out again, like a death knell, making me feel immense pressure.

I summoned my tamed beast, a pure white spirit fox. It gently nuzzled my hand, as if to encourage me.

I gently stroked its fur and carefully explained the content and key points of the assessment to it. The fox's eyes gleamed with wisdom, as if it understood what I meant.

I took a deep breath and stepped into the testing area. As soon as I entered, I felt an immense pressure coming at me.

The surrounding environment instantly darkened, and the roars of the beasts became clearer, as if echoing right next to their ears.

I carefully walked around a wooden stake when suddenly a rope fell from the sky and almost got tangled in my foot.

I quickly stepped back, and the fox also jumped in front of me alertly, using its body to block the rope.

"Heh, looks like your beast is pretty clever." Li's mocking voice came again. "However, cleverness alone isn't enough; strength is the key. I think you should just admit defeat sooner rather than later and not waste everyone's time."

I ignored him and continued forward. The obstacles in the area became increasingly complex, and the traps became more and more hidden. I had to be careful with every step I took, or I would fall into a trap.

Sweat beaded on my forehead, and my breathing became rapid. I felt my strength rapidly depleting, and the testing ground seemed to have no end in sight.

"Give up, you can't pass." Li's voice rang out again, tinged with mockery. "Who do you think you are? You want to become a beast tamer? That's just wishful thinking!"

His words were like a thorn, piercing deep into my heart. I gritted my teeth, suppressing my anger, and continued forward.

I can't give up! I must prove to him that I'm also qualified to be a Beast Tamer! Just when I was about to give up, a familiar voice suddenly rang out…

"Nongyu, keep going!" I almost collapsed to the ground, my clothes soaked with sweat.

Li's sarcasm, Zhao's disdain, and this damned assessment all weighed on me like boulders, making it hard to breathe. Was I really going to give up?

Am I really not qualified to become a beast tamer? Just then, a clear voice, like a gentle breeze, dispelled the gloom in my heart.

"Nongyu, good luck!" I looked up suddenly and saw Su Yao standing at the edge of the field, smiling at me.

Today she was dressed in a light and breezy outfit, looking heroic and dashing, like a Valkyrie on the battlefield.

“Su Yao…” I murmured her name, a warm feeling welling up in my heart.

"I believe you can do it!" Su Yao's voice came again, firm and powerful.

Seeing the determination in her eyes, my fighting spirit was rekindled.

I took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from my forehead, and said to the spirit fox, "Let's continue!"

The fox seemed encouraged as well, letting out a clear cry, its eyes gleaming with determination.

We started afresh, more carefully avoiding traps, and ventured deeper into the assessment area.

Suddenly, the ground shook, and a huge rock golem emerged from the ground, swinging its massive stone fist at us.

The fox couldn't dodge in time and was grazed by the stone fist, letting out a painful whimper.

"Spirit Fox!" I was extremely anxious and quickly checked its injuries. Fortunately, it was only slightly injured.

I quickly adjusted my strategy, directing the spirit fox to avoid the rock golem's attacks while searching for its weaknesses.

Although the rock golem was powerful, it was slow. The spirit fox used its agility to dodge its attacks and seize opportunities to counterattack.

I discovered that the rock golem's joints were its weak point, so I instructed the spirit fox to focus its attacks on its joints.

The fox's attacks became increasingly fierce, while the rock golem's movements became increasingly sluggish.

Finally, under the relentless attacks of the spirit fox, the rock golem collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of rubble. We successfully defeated the rock golem and continued on our way.

In the journey that followed, we encountered all sorts of traps and simulated enemies, but we overcame them one by one through our tacit cooperation and tenacious will.

Finally, we arrived at the final stage of the assessment. Before us stood a massive energy barrier, shimmering with dazzling light, like an insurmountable chasm.

I know this is the final and most difficult part of the assessment.

I took a deep breath and carefully observed the fluctuations of the barrier, trying to find a breakthrough... The fluctuations of the barrier seemed... to be regular?
