Beast Taming Star Journey

The water… had a faint, slightly fishy-sweet smell. I slammed the glass down, alarm bells ringing in my head. There was something wrong with the water! I looked around and saw that the other contestants in the rest area also looked listless; some had even fallen asleep. Could it be… that the Star Path Guild President was behind this?

I immediately ran to the girl in the white dress and found that she was also pale and weak.

"This water... is poisonous!" I said anxiously to her. "How are you feeling?" She nodded weakly and forced a smile: "I'm okay, I didn't drink much... You... be careful..." As she spoke, she fell into a deep sleep.

My anger surged. How could you be so despicable, Star Path President! I must expose his conspiracy! In the following matches, I became even more cautious.

I noticed that every time Referee Shi made a call that was clearly unfavorable to me, his left eyelid would twitch involuntarily.

It was a subtle flaw, but I caught it. My next opponent is the blue-clad beast tamer, a high-level beast tamer known for his arrogance and strength.

His tamed beast was a giant thunder eagle, incredibly fast and with formidable attack power. As soon as the match began, the thunder eagle swooped down on my little Flame with lightning speed.

Xiao Yan nimbly dodged the Thunder Eagle's attacks, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. However, the referee's judgment clearly favored the blue-clad beast tamer.

Several times, Xiao Yan clearly hit Lei Ying, but the shots were ruled invalid. The audience booed loudly, but Referee Shi ignored them. I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

Now is not the time to expose him; I must win this match first! I noticed that Referee Shi's left eyelid started twitching again.

Here it comes! The blue-clad beast tamer once again commanded the Thunder Eagle to attack. This time, the Thunder Eagle swooped down, its sharp claws aimed straight for Little Flame's vitals.

Just when everyone thought Xiao Yan was doomed to defeat, I suddenly changed my tactics.

"Xiao Yan, use Earth Escape!" Xiao Yan instantly disappeared from his spot, dodging the Thunder Eagle's fatal attack.

The next moment, it emerged from under Thunder Eagle's feet and bit down on its wing. Thunder Eagle let out a shrill cry, lost its balance, and crashed heavily to the ground.

The entire arena erupted in uproar. No one had expected me to turn the tables in this way. Referee Shi's face turned ashen; he hadn't anticipated that I would see through his trick.

He opened his mouth, wanting to announce the result of the competition, but found that he couldn't make a sound.

I walked up to him and stared at him coldly: "Referee Shi, your left eyelid is twitching really badly." His body trembled violently, and his face turned even more pale.

He wanted to explain, but couldn't say anything. I turned and walked towards the stands, raising my hands high, basking in the joy of victory. Suddenly, a figure rushed onto the field.

It was Su Yao! She hugged me excitedly and whispered in my ear, "Yu, you always manage to create miracles..."

Her chest heaved violently, and I could feel her burning body temperature. Su Yao's embrace was warm and strong, and her sweet fragrance made me feel a little dazed.

This sudden display of intimacy made me feel a little uncomfortable, yet I couldn't help but be captivated by it. The surrounding noise seemed to disappear, leaving only the sound of our heartbeats.

"Yao, thank you." I gently patted her back, trying to remain calm.

She released me, a slight blush on her face, but her eyes were filled with pride and joy. "I told you, I believe in you." She squeezed my hand, giving me strength.

The sudden embrace seemed to freeze the air around them. A gasp erupted from the audience, followed by a cacophony of whispers.

Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were disdainful. I glanced at the president of the Star Path Association; his face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

I know that this victory has thoroughly enraged him.

Sure enough, in the following matches, I encountered increasingly stronger opponents, and their beasts all carried a strange aura that made me feel very uncomfortable.

I realized that the Star Path Guild Master and the underworld were definitely manipulating things behind the scenes. In the lounge, the girl in the white dress had already woken up.

She told me that she suspected someone had put a slow-acting poison in the water to weaken the competitors and thus manipulate the outcome of the competition.

“You must be careful, they won’t let this go,” she said, looking at me worriedly. I nodded, already having a plan in mind.

I must find the mastermind behind this and expose their conspiracy to completely solve this problem. I became even more cautious in the upcoming matches.

I not only have to deal with the attacks from my opponents, but also guard against sabotage from the referees and the forces behind the scenes.

I noticed that Referee Shi's left eyelid was twitching more and more frequently, which indicated his inner anxiety and unease.

In the following matches, thanks to Xiao Yan's outstanding performance and my wit, I fought my way through the competition and successfully advanced to the finals.

However, I knew the real challenge was just beginning. The night before the final, I was meditating alone in my room. Suddenly, I sensed a powerful presence approaching.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw a dark figure standing in front of my window. "Are you Nong Yu?" The figure's voice was deep and hoarse, sending chills down my spine.

"Who are you?" I asked warily.

"Who I am is unimportant. What matters is that you have attracted our master's attention." The shadowy figure's voice carried a hint of threat. "You'd better be sensible and withdraw from the competition, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" I met his gaze without flinching. The shadowy figure sneered, "Otherwise, you'll regret ever being born." With that, he vanished into the night.

A chill ran down my spine; I knew the underworld had begun its operation. It seemed this final match was destined to be anything but peaceful. The final match officially began the next day.

My first opponent was a burly man with a powerful aura. Standing on the field, he seemed like an insurmountable mountain.

He exuded a mysterious power that made me feel inexplicably oppressed.

This power… I feel like I’ve sensed it somewhere before… I frowned, trying hard to remember… Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through my mind… Could this power be…?
