Beast Taming Star Journey

Senior Na took the rubbing, the dim light casting a deep shadow on his face and highlighting his furrowed brows.

The stone chamber was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, broken only by the occasional crackling of firewood.

My heart was in my throat, terrified that I would hear some bad news from him.

Su Yao also held her breath, looking at Senior Na with concern.

Time passed by minute by minute, as if it had stopped.

I could feel my palms starting to sweat.

Finally, Senior Sodium let out a long sigh and slowly put down the rubbing.

“The writing on this…” he paused, a hint of seriousness in his voice, “I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before…”

My heart sank. Could it be that even the knowledgeable Senior Na couldn't decipher the secret on this stone tablet?

Could it be that all the clues we painstakingly obtained were ultimately just a waste of time?

Just when I was about to despair, a glint of light suddenly flashed in Senior Sodium's eyes!

He suddenly looked up, a look of surprise on his face.

"I remember now!" he exclaimed excitedly. "It's an ancient cultivation method that can greatly enhance a beast tamer's strength!"

Suddenly, I felt a glimmer of hope, and the flame of hope was rekindled.

"Senior, please give me your guidance!" I said eagerly.

Senior Sodium nodded and began to explain this special cultivation method in detail.

He told me that this method requires the beast tamer and their beast taming partner to be of one mind and merge their powers together in order to unleash its greatest power.

He also taught me some tips and tricks to help me better understand and master this method.

Following Senior Sodium's guidance, I began to try my hand at cultivation.

I closed my eyes, concentrated, and felt the presence of the golden feather.

I tried to merge my power with Jin Yu's power, and gradually, I felt a powerful force surging within me.

This feeling is stronger than ever before!

I opened my eyes and felt a surge of power within me, a confidence I had never felt before welling up inside me.

I clenched my fist, feeling the power flowing through my fingertips. I knew that my beast-taming ability had improved significantly again!

"How are you feeling?" Senior Na asked with concern.

I took a deep breath and said excitedly, "I feel great! I'm much stronger than before!"

Senior Na smiled with satisfaction.

"Very good, keep up the good work," he encouraged. "I believe you will definitely become a powerful beast tamer in the future!"

I nodded, my heart filled with gratitude and determination.

I will definitely continue to work hard and live up to Senior Na's expectations!

Su Yao smiled brightly when she saw my improved strength.

She walked to my side and gently hugged me... Her breath brushed against my ear... Seeing that my strength had improved, Su Yao happily hugged me and whispered in my ear, "You're getting stronger and stronger, I admire you so much."

Her lips gently touched my earlobe, and I felt a tingling sensation, a warm current spreading from my ear to my whole body.

I hugged her tightly, feeling her body temperature and her heartbeat. At that moment, it was as if the whole world had stopped, leaving only the two of us.

"I also want to thank you, Yao'er. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today." My voice choked with emotion, my heart filled with gratitude.

We hugged each other quietly for a while, and then we parted.

Senior Na looked at us with a relieved smile on his face.

"Alright, you two little ones, stop being so lovey-dovey. Nong Yu, although your strength has improved a lot, you still have a long way to go before you become a true powerhouse. From now on, you need to cultivate even harder to meet the challenges of the future."

I nodded solemnly: "Senior, I understand."

In the days that followed, I practiced even more diligently.

Following Senior Na's guidance, I continuously practiced new cultivation methods, striving to merge my own power with Jin Yu's power.

My abilities are also steadily improving, and I feel myself becoming stronger and more confident.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

As my strength increased, a strange sense of crisis began to envelop me.

I always feel like someone is watching me in the dark, like an invisible pair of eyes are watching my every move.

This feeling grew stronger and stronger, making it difficult for me to eat or sleep.

One evening, while I was cultivating, I suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw a dark shadow flash past the window.

I immediately chased after him, only to find that the shadowy figure had already vanished.

"What's wrong?" Su Yao heard the commotion and ran out of the room.

"I have a feeling that someone is secretly watching us," I said in a low voice.

Su Yao's expression also turned serious.

"Could it be..." We exchanged a glance, both having the same guess in our hearts.

Could it be that the mysterious beast tamer has sensed my presence and started to interfere with me?

Similar incidents continued to occur over the next few days.

My practice was frequently interrupted, and I was even nearly attacked several times.

I know that someone is deliberately interfering with my cultivation and trying to prevent me from improving my strength.

"This won't do," I thought to myself. "I must find the mastermind behind this as soon as possible before I can cultivate in peace."

I shared my concerns with Senior Na, who pondered for a moment before saying, "It seems your growth has attracted the attention of some people. However, you don't need to worry too much. I will protect you secretly, and you just need to focus on your cultivation."

With Senior Sodium's assurance, my worries were greatly reduced.

I continued to cultivate diligently, while also secretly investigating the identity of the mastermind behind it all.

That day, while I was cultivating, I suddenly received a mysterious letter.

The letter contained only one sentence: "The day of challenge is coming, be prepared."

A chill ran through me; he knew the challenge was finally about to begin.

I looked out the window; in the distance, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled.

I gripped the letter tightly, took a deep breath, and a fighting spirit burned within me.

I turned to look at Su Yao, and her eyes also shone with determination.

"Let's go, let's go meet him." We left the room and headed towards the challenge area.

The area was already surrounded by beast tamers, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and I felt countless gazes on us, some curious, some inquisitive, some hostile... I held Su Yao's hand tightly and walked step by step towards the center of the challenge platform... but Senior Na's figure had disappeared without a trace...
