Beast Taming Star Journey

The Gallium Assistant slowly unfurled the scroll, which was covered with tiny, densely written characters. I squinted, trying hard to decipher the contents.

A chill rose from the soles of my feet and shot straight to my head.

The third stage of the assessment actually involved... a real combat battle against a high-level berserk beast!

Moreover, this berserk beast's level far exceeds my current beast-taming level.

This is practically suicide!

I was furious. It was clear that the copper inspector was deliberately making things difficult for me!

The zinc competitor grinned smugly. He already knew the assessment content, so he deliberately wore me down in the second stage.

I clenched my fists, my nails digging deep into my flesh, trying to control the anger in my heart.

"Nong Yu, do you have any more questions?" The copper-clad examiner's voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

"No." I knew that saying anything now would be useless; I could only do my best to fight for that sliver of hope.

Just then, a soft hand gently rested on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Su Yao.

Her eyes were full of love and encouragement. "Yu, you're the best. No matter what, I'll always be by your side." With that, she gently stroked my face.

I felt the tenderness of her fingertips, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart.

Su Yao's presence is like a guiding light, illuminating the path ahead for me.

I held her hand tightly, drawing strength from her.

"Break time is over. Please prepare, Nong Yu." The bronze inspector's voice rang out again, interrupting this moment of tenderness.

I noticed that the rest time was much shorter than the prescribed time, which was clearly the copper inspector's doing on purpose, trying to exhaust me so that I wouldn't be able to cope with the challenges ahead.

I gave the bronze examiner a cold look, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the preparation area.

Su Yao whispered behind me, "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."

I nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped into the ring.

A gigantic, savage beast roared, its eyes gleaming with ferocity.

I know this is a life-or-death battle.

"The third phase of the assessment has officially begun!" the bronze examiner announced loudly.

I summoned Little Flame, and the two of us stood back to back, warily watching the berserk beast before us.

The air around us seemed to freeze, filled with a sense of oppression and tension.

"Nong Yu, are you ready?" The bronze inspector's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of mockery.

My gaze sharpened as I stared intently at the ferocious beast before me, and I said, enunciating each word clearly, "Let's begin..."

The berserk beast let out a deafening roar, and a stench assaulted my senses. I could almost hear the sound of its sharp claws tearing through the air.

fear?

Of course there was fear, but Su Yao's love and encouragement acted like a solid barrier, keeping the fear at bay.

I felt an unprecedented power surging within me, a power that originated from love. It invigorated me and filled me with fighting spirit.

"Little Flame, go!" At my command, Little Flame let out a loud cry and transformed into a streak of crimson lightning, charging towards the berserk beast.

Its body was engulfed in flames, as if it were about to set the entire space ablaze.

Even I was surprised. Xiao Yan was in amazing condition today. Its speed, strength, and even the temperature of its flames were much stronger than before.

I think this might also be influenced by the special connection between Su Yao and me.

The berserk beast clearly hadn't expected Xiao Yan to be so fierce, and was momentarily suppressed.

I seized the opportunity and commanded Xiao Yan to launch a series of attacks.

The man and the beast worked in perfect harmony, each move deadly, forcing the ferocious beast into a retreat.

The audience below the arena was stunned. They thought I would be easily torn apart by the berserk beast, but they never expected that I could fight against it and even gain the upper hand.

The bronze examiner's face also turned ugly; he remained silent, his expression grim.

Meanwhile, the zinc competitors gritted their teeth, their faces filled with resentment and envy.

I felt like Xiao Yan and I were one, trusting and supporting each other as we fought together against the formidable enemy before us.

Su Yao's gaze remained fixed on me, her eyes filled with love and pride, which gave me even more strength.

Finally, after a fierce battle, Xiao Yan let out a deafening roar and knocked the berserk beast to the ground with a single claw.

I immediately seized the opportunity and used all my strength to inject the spiritual power in my hand into Xiao Yan's body.

The flames on Xiao Yan's body instantly surged, transforming into a gigantic fire dragon that completely engulfed the berserk beast.

With a deafening boom, the berserk beast collapsed to the ground, never to rise again.

I won!

I let out a long sigh and slowly walked off the stage.

Su Yao immediately came up to me and gave me a warm hug.

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

I held her tightly, feeling her warmth, and my heart was filled with happiness and contentment.

However, this brief joy was soon replaced by a sense of unease.

I saw the copper inspector and the zinc competitor walk together, talking in hushed tones, their expressions sinister and cunning.

The zinc competitor pointed at me, speaking excitedly, while the copper examiner nodded occasionally, a cold glint in his eyes.

What are they plotting now?

Are they still not going to let me go?

An ominous premonition rose in my heart.

Just then, a sharp voice suddenly rang out: "I have something to say! I have important evidence to present to the investigator regarding Nong Yu!"

I turned my head and saw a thin man with a weasel-like face walk out from the crowd.

That was… the arsenic witness. He held a scroll in his hand, a sinister smile on his face, and walked step by step toward the bronze examiner…
