Beast Taming Star Journey

The tournament master announced that the match would continue, and the noisy stands gradually quieted down, but a tense atmosphere still lingered in the air. I felt my heart pounding like a drum, making my eardrums buzz.

I had no idea what would happen next, or how this sudden turn of events would affect the game. I instinctively clenched my fists, my palms sweating.

Su Yao looked at me with concern, her eyes filled with care, but even more so with anxiety.

Ellie stood on my other side, giving me an encouraging smile, but I knew she, like me, was filled with uncertainty about what was to come.

"Silence!" The Realm Lord's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable authority. The entire arena fell silent instantly, all eyes fixed on the Realm Lord.

He slowly scanned the entire arena, then said in a deep voice, "I have investigated what just happened. The chief referee committed favoritism and seriously violated the competition rules, and has now been dismissed and is under investigation. All unfair judgments made by the chief referee are hereby nullified."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. I felt my heart leap, and a warm current flowed through my entire body.

The Realm Lord's words were like a reassuring pill, finally putting my mind at ease.

"The competition will restart, and all participants will be treated fairly," the Realm Lord continued. "I hope all participants will cherish this opportunity and demonstrate their true strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, I felt a powerful force surge into my body.

The power that had been suppressed due to the judge's unfair ruling was now surging forth like a flood breaking through a dam.

My tamed beast also sensed this power. It excitedly roared to the sky, and its injuries began to heal at a visible speed.

I took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within me, and an unprecedented sense of confidence welled up inside me. I clenched my fists and looked firmly ahead.

I know this competition isn't over yet, and I still have a chance to prove myself.

I turned to look at Su Yao, whose face was beaming with a bright smile, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

Ellie smiled and nodded at me, her eyes full of encouragement and support. I took another deep breath, composed myself, and prepared to face the challenge ahead.

Just then, Su Yao suddenly leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Yu..." Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a sudden burst of cheers.

"Yu, we can have a good match again!"

A warm touch crashed into my arms, and Su Yao excitedly pounced on me, her chest pressed tightly against mine. I could feel her rapid heartbeat and the faint fragrance emanating from her body.

She looked up, her eyes brimming with excitement, shining like stars. My heart raced involuntarily, and a warm current surged from the depths of my heart, spreading throughout my body.

I gently put my arm around her shoulder, savoring this rare intimacy and warmth.

The referee's conspiracy was exposed, and the competition was able to proceed fairly. This unexpected turn of events filled us with immense excitement and relief.

“Yes,” I took a deep breath, trying to calm my slightly erratic heartbeat, “we can finally go all out.”

I patted Su Yao on the back, signaling her to calm down a bit, since we were still at the competition venue and there were quite a few spectators around.

Su Yao seemed to realize her lapse in composure, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she stepped out of my embrace, but her hand remained tightly holding mine, as if conveying strength and encouragement.

Ellie also came over, her face beaming with joy.

"That's great, Nongyu, I knew you could do it!" She gave me a determined look, which filled me with even more confidence.

However, the joy did not last long.

I know that although I received fair treatment, my beast and I had both exhausted a lot of energy due to the chief referee's harassment, and my condition was far from its best.

My next opponents clearly saw this as well; their eyes gleamed with greed, as if they all wanted to seize the opportunity to defeat me in one fell swoop.

My first opponent was a burly man who looked at me with a disdainful sneer.

"Kid, you're lucky to have escaped this time. But your good fortune ends here!"

As he spoke, he released his tamed beast, a gigantic bear with bulging muscles that exuded a ferocious aura.

I took a deep breath, banished all distracting thoughts, and focused intently on observing my opponent's beast.

I know the battle ahead will be extremely difficult, but I will never give up easily.

I gently stroked my tamed beast, transferring my power to it and encouraging it to cheer up and face the challenge.

The starting horn sounded, and the giant bear let out a deafening roar as it pounced on us.

I commanded my tamed beasts to skillfully dodge the giant bear's attacks while searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

The battle was extremely fierce. My beast and I fought with all our might to contend with the giant bear.

Despite my poor condition, I managed to maintain a stalemate with my opponent through sheer willpower and brilliant tactics.

However, I knew that this couldn't go on forever. My physical and mental strength were rapidly depleting, while my opponent remained aggressive and showed no signs of fatigue.

I must find a breakthrough as soon as possible, otherwise... Just as I was racking my brains for a solution, a new opponent has already entered the fray.

He stood there, tall and handsome, but his eyes were cold and deep, making him unfathomable.

His tamed beast stood quietly beside him; it was a jet-black leopard, agile and unusually silent.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

I squinted, trying to see the leopard's abilities clearly, but I found that it seemed to be shrouded in a mist, making it difficult for me to judge the specific effects of its abilities.

“Interesting…” A knowing smile crept onto his lips. He slowly raised his hand and pointed at me…
