Beast Taming Star Journey

I stood in the animal strength testing area, a chill rising from the soles of my feet.

It's the height of summer, but it feels like the dead of winter.

The copper inspector approached with a forced smile, holding a scroll that emitted an eerie, ghostly light, making me even more uneasy.

The surrounding examinees also cast questioning glances, and whispers rang out like the buzzing of mosquitoes.

"What is this?" I took the scroll, and the moment my fingers touched it, a cold sensation spread throughout my body.

I unrolled the scroll, my brows involuntarily furrowing.

This isn't a test guideline; it's clearly a book designed to make things difficult for us!

The test conditions listed above are extremely stringent, requiring not only that the beast's strength reach the level of an advanced beast tamer, but also limiting the time, and even specifying the types and skills of the beasts to be tamed.

My beast taming partner, Xiao Yan, is a young Crimson Flame Leopard with fire attributes. Although it has great potential, it is still far from reaching the level of an advanced beast tamer.

It had just weathered the storm and was now lying at my feet, looking somewhat tired.

I took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in my heart.

This is clearly targeting me!

Although the previous slander has been cleared up, the copper examiner clearly harbors resentment and wants to use this opportunity to disqualify me from the assessment.

Su Yao stood beside me, holding my hand. The warmth from her palm made me feel a little more at ease.

“Don’t worry,” she whispered in my ear, “I trust you.”

I turned to look at Su Yao. Her eyes were firm and full of strength, as if telling me that no matter what happened, she would stand by my side.

I nodded, a warm feeling welling up inside me.

Yes, I can't give up. I still have Su Yao, Xiao Yan, and my dream!

I gripped the scroll tightly in my hand, my knuckles turning white from the force.

"I accept the test." My voice was not loud, but it was unusually firm.

The copper inspector sneered, "Very well, I hope you can still be this stubborn later."

He waved, gesturing for me to enter the testing area.

I walked to the center of the field, and Xiao Yan followed.

It raised its head and rubbed its wet nose against my hand, as if to cheer me on.

I stroked its head, feeling its soft fur, and my heart was filled with strength.

“Let’s begin.” I looked at the bronze examiner, my eyes full of challenge.

The copper inspector's lips curled into a sinister smile as he loudly announced, "The test begins!"

I took a deep breath, preparing to activate my ability, when I suddenly sensed an unusual aura.

I turned my head sharply and looked at the crowd outside the venue. A familiar figure flashed by... It was the zinc competitor!

He hid in the crowd, staring at me with a sinister look, a cold smile playing on his lips.

He seemed to be holding something in his hand, and that thing emitted a faint black light... Oh no!

"Xiao Yan, be careful!" Before I could finish speaking, a chilling aura rushed towards me.

Xiao Yan let out a low growl, and all the fur on its body stood on end.

A dark figure shot out from the crowd and headed straight for Xiao Yan.

The dark figure moved extremely fast, arriving in front of Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye.

"Despicable!" I roared, immediately activating my cheat code—signing an equal contract with my beast tamer partner to share power!

A golden light emanated from my body, enveloping me and Xiao Yan.

Amidst the shimmering golden light, I felt a wondrous connection forming between myself and Xiao Yan. I could clearly sense its emotions, its power, and even its thoughts.

At the same time, a powerful force surged into my body, making me feel full of energy.

Xiao Yan's previously listless spirits instantly lifted, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

It let out a deafening roar, its body engulfed in flames that seemed to devour everything around it.

The dark figure let out a shrill scream as it was scorched by the flames, then turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

I looked at the crowd; the zinc competitors were pale, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

He didn't expect me to suddenly unleash such powerful strength, and he certainly didn't expect that I could thwart his scheme.

“Now, it’s time to conduct the test.” I looked at the bronze examiner, my tone icy.

The bronze inspector's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected me to so easily thwart the zinc competitor's scheme, nor had he anticipated that my beast companion could unleash such power.

The scroll in his hand trembled slightly, clearly intimidated by the powerful beastly force emanating from Xiao Yan.

I took a deep breath and poured all the power in my body into Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan let out an excited roar, and the flames on its body burned even brighter, as if it were about to set the entire testing ground ablaze.

It leaped onto the testing platform and slammed its paw down on the testing stone tablet.

boom!

With a loud bang, a dazzling light burst forth from the testing stone tablet.

After the light faded, an astonishing number was displayed on the stone tablet—far exceeding the level of a high-level beast tamer!

The surrounding examinees were in an uproar, all shocked by the powerful strength that Xiao Yan had displayed.

The bronze inspector's face grew even uglier. He hadn't expected me to be so powerful, and his plan to make things difficult for me had completely failed.

“This…this is impossible…” he muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

I sneered, ignored him, and turned to walk towards Su Yao.

Su Yao smiled with relief and came over to hug me tightly.

“I knew you could do it,” she whispered in my ear.

I gently patted her back, my heart filled with joy and pride.

Among the crowd, the zinc competitor had a gloomy face, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.

"Damn it! This Nong Yu, he actually..." he said through gritted teeth.

He quietly left the crowd and disappeared into the shadows.

He took out a black bottle containing a black liquid that emitted an eerie aura...

"The beast taming skills assessment shall now begin!" The bronze examiner's voice broke the silence in the arena.

I looked up and gazed at the center of the testing area.

A complex maze has been built there, filled with various mechanisms and traps.

The other test-takers around me were all talking about it, wondering if I could handle the challenges ahead.

I took a deep breath, my eyes resolute. "Let's go, Xiao Yan."

I walked towards the entrance of the maze, my figure gradually disappearing into the shadows of the maze...

A sinister smile crept across the copper-clad inspector's lips. He watched my retreating figure and muttered, "I hope you come out alive..."

He turned around and whispered a few words to the gallium assistant... The gallium assistant's expression changed, and then he hurriedly left the testing area...
