Beast Taming Star Journey

The Gallium Assistant unfurled the scroll, on which were written new rules in elegant, flowing handwriting: All participants' beast companions will be restricted to a circular area with a diameter of ten meters during the upcoming review.

My heart sank suddenly and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

This rule is clearly targeting me!

My beast companion, the Gale Leopard, is known for its speed and agility. Restricting its range of movement is tantamount to cutting off its wings.

"What...what does this mean?" I suppressed my anger and tried my best to keep my tone calm.

Assistant Jia smiled insincerely and said, "This is to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition. After all, some beast-taming partners have too large an activity range, which will affect the performance of other participants."

As he spoke, his gaze swept intentionally or unintentionally over the Gale Leopard beside me.

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

I know this must be the work of the copper inspectors and the zinc competitors.

When they realized they couldn't frame me through perjury, they came up with this insidious scheme.

"Isn't this rule a bit too harsh?" Su Yao couldn't help but say. "This is simply unfair treatment for some beast companions who rely on speed and area-of-effect attacks!"

Assistant Jia shrugged, looking indifferent: "These are the rules. You either accept them or give up the competition."

Withdraw from the competition?

These four words struck my heart like a heavy hammer.

I've put in so much effort and endured so many hardships for this Beast Taming Competition, how could I possibly give up so easily?

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

No, I can't give up!

I must find a way to overcome this difficulty!

I looked at the Gale Leopard, which was also looking at me uneasily, its eyes filled with worry.

I gently stroked its mane and whispered, "Don't worry, we'll definitely find a way."

My gaze fell on the scroll, and I carefully read every word on it.

The rules only restrict the activity range of the beast-taming partner, but do not restrict the actions of the beast-tamer himself.

In other words, I can move freely, while the Gale Leopard needs to fight within a designated area under my command.

This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for me.

I need to readjust the battle plan to transform the speed and agility of the Gale Leopard into explosive power in confined spaces.

Time ticked by, and my brain raced, with various tactical plans flashing through my mind.

I need to find the most suitable plan, a plan that will allow me to still achieve victory under such unfavorable conditions.

"Nong Yu," Su Yao's voice pulled me back from my reverie, "Have you thought of a solution?"

I looked up at her with a determined gaze, a confident smile playing on my lips. "I've got it."

I turned to look at Gallium Assistant and said in a deep voice, "I accept this rule."

Gallium Assistant was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting me to agree so readily.

He sneered, "Very well, let's begin."

As he spoke, a palm-sized disc appeared in his hand. With a gentle toss, the disc landed on the ground and rapidly expanded, forming a circular area with a diameter of ten meters.

“This is your area of ​​operation,” Jiazhu said, pointing to the circular area. “Remember, once your beast companions step outside this area, it will be considered a violation.”

I took a deep breath and walked to the edge of the circular area.

The Gale Leopard followed closely behind and, at my signal, entered the circular area.

I looked at it and silently said to myself, "Are you ready? We're going to fight side by side again..."

My hand slowly rested on the beast-taming flute at my waist... As my hand touched the flute, a melodious flute sound rang out. Unlike before, this time the flute sound was shorter and more rapid, containing a special rhythm.

This is my newly mastered beast-taming technique – "Compression Power".

I can compress the speed and power of the Gale Leopard into a narrow range, thus multiplying its explosive power.

The Gale Leopard's body trembled slightly, its previously relaxed muscles instantly tensed, and a powerful force surged within it.

Its eyes sharpened, like a drawn sword, ready to deliver a fatal blow to its enemy at any moment.

“Let’s begin,” I said in a deep voice.

Almost the instant I finished speaking, the swift leopard moved.

Instead of running as usual, it stood still to gather its strength, and then leaped forward like an arrow, shooting towards its target—an imaginary enemy made of piled rocks.

With a loud "bang," the pile of rocks shattered, sending debris flying everywhere.

This power is several times stronger than the Gale Leopard's attack in a wide open area!

The onlookers gasped in astonishment, all awestruck by the Swift Leopard's incredible explosive power.

Even the bronze inspector's face showed a hint of surprise, clearly he hadn't expected me to be able to resolve the predicament so cleverly.

Only the zinc competitor, his face ashen, his eyes filled with resentment.

He glared at me fiercely, as if he wanted to devour me alive.

"That's impossible!" he said through gritted teeth. "He must have cheated!"

I scoffed and ignored his tirade. I knew he was just raging incoherently.

"The next round of judging begins," the Gallium Assistant's voice rang out again, "Please prepare yourselves, all participants."

My heart jumped again.

The zinc competitor won't give up easily; in the next round of review, he'll definitely come up with even more insidious tricks to deal with me.

Sure enough, the Gallium Assistant unfurled another scroll with a new rule written on it: "All participants' beast companions must remain motionless during the upcoming review."

My pupils suddenly contracted; these rules were even harsher than the last round!

This is clearly designed to prevent me from passing the review!

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

I can't panic, I have to think of a way!

My gaze fell upon the Gale Leopard.

It was looking at me with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding why it should remain still.

My brain was racing, trying to come up with a solution.

The rules restrict my beast-taming partner from moving, but they don't restrict my movements or my ability to use beast-taming skills... A bold idea popped into my head.

I can use my beast-taming ability to transfer the power of the Gale Leopard to myself!

I placed my hand on the Beast Taming Flute again and took a deep breath... My Beast Taming Flute emitted a faint golden light...
