Beast Taming Star Journey

His finger pointed at me, and a chill ran up my spine. It wasn't just a pointing finger; it was a declaration of war—silent, yet incredibly oppressive. I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.

The Firewing beside me also sensed the pressure; it flapped its wings uneasily and let out a low cry. "Interesting..." the opponent spoke again, his voice deep and magnetic, "Let me see what you're capable of."

The moment he finished speaking, the black panther moved. It made no sound, vanishing from its spot in an instant, like a black lightning bolt.

My heart sank. This speed far exceeded any opponent I had ever encountered before.

"Firewing Eagle, watch out!" I shouted a warning, while concentrating my attention to try and track the black panther. However, my vision couldn't keep up with the panther's speed at all.

It moved through the arena like a ghost, leaving only afterimages. I couldn't even pinpoint its location, let alone command the Firefeather Eagle to launch a counterattack.

"What...what kind of ability is it?" I muttered to myself, my mind filled with doubt. This bizarre speed could not be explained by mere agility.

Just when I was at my wit's end, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: Lure the enemy in! I had to find a way to make it reveal itself!

"Firewing Eagle, get closer to it!" I commanded decisively. "Provoke it with your flames!" Although the Firewing Eagle did not understand my intention, it carried out my order without hesitation.

It flapped its wings and flew towards the direction where the black panther had disappeared, spewing forth streams of blazing flames. The flames illuminated the arena, but the black panther remained elusive.

Just when I thought the plan had failed, the black panther suddenly appeared! It appeared behind the fire eagle, its claws gleaming coldly, and it reached out to grab the fire eagle's back.

"Now!" I thought to myself with secret joy; the moment I had been waiting for had finally arrived!

I've roughly figured out Black Panther's ability; it should be a skill that allows him to become invisible briefly, but he'll reveal himself when he launches an attack.

"Firefeather Eagle, dive!" I shouted, simultaneously directing the Firefeather Eagle to change its flight path.

The Firefeather Eagle reacted extremely quickly, swooping down just as the black panther's claws were about to touch it.

Black Panther's attack missed, and Fire Feather Eagle seized the opportunity to turn around and spew a mouthful of flames at Black Panther's face.

"Roar!" The black panther let out a painful roar, and its figure disappeared again, but this time, I was no longer panicked. I knew it would reappear soon.

"Fire Feather Eagle, get ready..." Before I could finish speaking, the black panther reappeared above the Fire Feather Eagle. This time, it changed its attack method, opening its blood-red maw and biting at the Fire Feather Eagle's head.

"Whirlwind Slash!" I shouted. The Fire Feather Eagle's wings swung wildly, creating a gust of wind that neutralized the black panther's attack.

At the same time, its sharp claws dug fiercely into the black panther's abdomen. The black panther howled in pain, fell heavily to the ground, struggled a few times, and then lost its ability to fight.

"Beautiful!" a crisp voice rang out.

Su Yao waved her arms excitedly from the sidelines, her bright eyes sparkling with admiration, and shouted, "Yu, you're so smart!"

Hearing her voice, a warm feeling welled up inside me, and my weary body seemed to be infused with new strength. I smiled at her and nodded slightly.

This wasn't just a match; it was my chance to prove myself. I had to win! However, my opponent clearly wasn't planning on giving up easily.

His face was ashen, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. "Damn it!" he cursed, then took a whistle from his waist and blew it loudly.

A sharp whistle pierced the air, followed by the shaking of the arena floor. My heart sank; a sense of foreboding washed over me.

The next moment, three enormous beasts emerged from the ground.

A giant lizard covered in hard scales, a mammoth with sharp fangs, and a griffin soaring through the air.

They stood menacingly beside their opponents, glaring at me and the Firefeather Eagle. "Four Beast Tamers?" I gasped; this was completely outside the rules of the competition.

According to the rules, each participant can only bring one beast into the competition. He has blatantly violated the rules! "Chief Referee, he has broken the rules!"

I immediately protested to the head referee on the referee's stand. However, the head referee merely glanced at me indifferently and said in a cold tone, "The match continues."

His attitude filled me with immense disappointment and anger. Clearly, he had been bought off by the opponent. I took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.

Now, complaining and protesting are pointless; I must find a way to deal with the crisis at hand.

"Firefeather Eagle, be careful!" I whispered a warning, while concentrating on analyzing the opponent's formation.

The monitor lizard has extremely strong defense, the mammoth has amazing attack power, the griffin is incredibly fast, and with the black panther that had the ability to hide, this combination of four beasts has almost no weaknesses.

"Roar!" The giant lizard launched the first attack, its thick tail sweeping out with a powerful gust of wind as it swept towards the Firefeather Eagle.

"Firewing Eagle, get out of the way!" I shouted, simultaneously directing the Firewing Eagle to fly upwards, barely dodging the giant lizard's attack. However, the giant lizard's attack was just a feint.

Just as the Firefeather Eagle dodged the giant lizard's attack, the griffin swooped down from the sky, its sharp talons reaching for the Firefeather Eagle. "Whirlwind Slash!" I commanded again.

The Firefeathered Eagle flapped its wings rapidly, creating a small tornado that forced the griffins back. However, the mammoth's attack followed closely behind.

Its enormous tusks, like two sharp spears, pierced towards the Firefeather Eagle.

My heart sank. Although the Firefeather Eagle was very fast, it seemed somewhat powerless against the mammoth's attack.

"Firefeather Eagle, use Flame Storm!" I made a decisive decision and gave the final command.

The Firefeather Eagle let out a sharp cry and spewed out a blazing flame, forming a huge pillar of fire that engulfed the mammoth, griffin, and giant lizard.

The flame storm was incredibly powerful, and the three beasts howled in pain as they retreated. However, at that moment, the black panther reappeared.

It appeared silently behind the Firefeather Eagle, its sharp claws gleaming coldly, and reached for the Firefeather Eagle's back... I clenched my fists tightly, a sense of powerlessness rising in my heart.

This is an absolutely unfair match! Just at this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the arena.

She was clad in silver armor and wielded a longsword, looking like a goddess descended from heaven. "Stop!" she shouted sharply.

The referee's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly, saying in a deep voice, "Su Yao, you..." Su Yao glanced at him coldly and said in an icy tone, "I accept this match."

I froze, staring at her determined eyes, my mind filled with doubt. What... was she going to do?
