Beast Taming Star Journey

The zinc competitor's words sent a chill down my spine, and a sense of foreboding washed over me.

His cold eyes, clenched fists, and the metal sphere hidden in his hand all made me uneasy.

"What do you mean?" I asked warily, my eyes fixed on him.

He sneered, not answering my question directly, but turning to the bronze examiner and loudly proclaiming, "Your Honor, I'm reporting Nong Yu for cheating during the assessment!"

His words exploded like thunder in the crowd.

The people around me immediately started talking and all eyes were on me.

I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head, and my heart began to pound violently.

"Cheating? What evidence do you have?" I suppressed my anger and tried my best to remain calm.

The zinc competitor brandished the metal sphere in his hand and said, "This is the evidence! It's a tool that can interfere with the mind of a beast tamer. Nong Yu just used it to control his beast and complete the assessment!"

His words made me understand immediately.

No wonder Xiao Yan's performance was a bit unusual in the final stage; it turns out he was affected by that metal sphere!

I looked at Xiao Yan, who was pacing anxiously on the ground, its eyes filled with confusion and fear.

My heart sank suddenly, and a surge of intense anger and self-reproach welled up inside me.

I actually caused Xiao Yan to get hurt!

"I didn't! I didn't cheat!" I shouted, but my voice sounded weak.

The copper inspector's gaze swept back and forth between me and the zinc competitor, his eyes filled with suspicion.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Nong Yu, is there anything you want to say?"

I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say.

I did not cheat, but now all the evidence is against me.

Just then, Xiao Yan suddenly let out a painful cry, and its body began to tremble violently, as if it were enduring great pain.

I rushed to Xiao Yan's side to try and comfort it, but it suddenly pushed me away and collapsed to the ground in pain, convulsing uncontrollably.

"Xiao Yan!" I called out anxiously, my heart filled with worry and fear.

Upon seeing this, the zinc competitor revealed a smug smile.

He looked at me, a hint of mockery in his voice, "Nong Yu, you'd better just admit defeat! You've already lost your chance!"

His words were like sharp blades, piercing my heart.

I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails dug deep into my flesh.

I can't give up!

I must prove my innocence!

I raised my head, looked firmly at the bronze-clad examiner, and said, "Your Honor, please believe me, I did not cheat! I beg you to give me a chance to prove my innocence!"

The copper inspector looked at me, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

Just as he was about to speak, an old and dignified voice suddenly rang out...

"Shut up!" The voice was like a resounding bell, instantly silencing all the noisy discussions.

I looked in the direction of the sound and saw an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face walking slowly towards me.

He wore a simple robe, yet he exuded a powerful aura that made people afraid to look him in the eye.

Senior Germanium!

I was overjoyed, as if I had grasped a lifeline.

Senior Ge is a revered Beast Tamer, highly respected and enjoying an extremely high reputation in the Beast Tamer world.

"Senior Germanium!" The copper examiner quickly stood up and bowed, his tone filled with respect and fear.

Senior Germanium nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the zinc competitor, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Young man, you say Nong Yu cheated, do you have any evidence?"

The zinc competitor, intimidated by the germanium senior's imposing presence, turned pale, but still managed to say with bravado, "I...I have evidence! This...this is the evidence!"

He raised the metal sphere in his hand with trembling hands.

Senior Ge sneered, "Just this? This thing can indeed interfere with the mind of the beast tamer, but I saw it clearly just now. You secretly threw this thing at Nong Yu's beast when no one was paying attention. Did you think your little trick could hide from my eyes?"

The words of the senior germanium expert were like a bolt from the blue, instantly blasting the zinc competitor to smithereens.

His face was deathly pale, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The surrounding crowd immediately erupted in uproar, condemning the zinc competitors' despicable actions.

"So he framed Nong Yu!"

"How despicable!"

"How can someone like that be fit to be a beast tamer!"

The bronze examiner's face also turned very ugly.

Although he was dissatisfied with Nong Yu, he also knew that Senior Ge's prestige could not be challenged.

He glared at the zinc competitor and said in a deep voice, "Zinc competitor, you are disqualified from the assessment for cheating and framing others!"

The zinc competitor was struck dumb, collapsing to the ground as if struck by lightning.

He never expected that his carefully planned conspiracy would be exposed on the spot by Senior Ge.

A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.

I looked at Senior Ge with gratitude and bowed deeply, "Thank you very much, Senior Ge!"

Senior Ge smiled kindly, “Young man, there’s no need to be so polite. You are exceptionally talented and have a bright future ahead of you. Do not let these petty people hinder you.”

I nodded emphatically, my heart filled with gratitude and fighting spirit.

Although the copper inspector was displeased, he dared not make any further moves under the intimidation of the senior officer.

He announced that the assessment would continue.

I took a deep breath, rallied my spirits, and headed towards the assessment area.

Xiao Yan has also returned to normal. It rubs affectionately against my hand, its eyes filled with trust and dependence.

I stroked Xiao Yan's mane, my heart filled with strength.

I know that the road ahead of the assessment is still long, but I will not give up. I will definitely become the strongest Beastmaster!

The assessment continued, and Xiao Yan and I worked together seamlessly to successfully complete the next assessment items.

Finally, all the assessment items were completed.

I stood in the center of the assessment area, awaiting the final result.

"Now, begin the review!" a cold voice rang out.

A woman in a silver robe walked to the front of the stage, holding a scroll in her hand, her expression serious and focused.

She was Gallium's assistant, responsible for announcing the review results.

Gallium Assistant slowly unrolled the scroll and began to read out the review rules.

"First rule, all participants must..." Her voice was clear and powerful, yet carried a hint of coldness and oppression.

As I listened to her read out the rules, a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up inside me.

These rules seemed a bit too harsh and complicated… Assistant Jia continued reading the rules, her voice growing lower and lower, as if foreshadowing an impending storm… “Rule number two…”
