Beast Taming Star Journey

Chapter 365 Initial Control of Awakened Power

Chapter 365

As consciousness returned, I felt a tearing pain in my body, every nerve screaming sharply. I struggled to open my eyes, my vision blurry, the chaotic scene gradually clearing. I found myself still trapped in the secret chamber, surrounded by strange lights—a barrier set up by the Palladium Instructor to suppress the uncontrollable power within me.

"You're awake!" A familiar voice came through, filled with anxiety and joy. I turned my head and saw Su Yao standing beside me, her face full of worry, her eyes slightly red, clearly having just cried.

I tried to speak, but found my throat was so dry it felt like it was on fire, and I could only manage a hoarse voice: "What...what's wrong with me?"

“The power within you has gone berserk,” the Palladium Mentor’s voice was deep and serious. “Fortunately, the Xenon Guardian intervened in time and used his power to temporarily suppress the energy within you, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

I tried hard to recall what had happened, and all I remembered was that force raging through my body, as if trying to tear me apart. I took a deep breath and tried to mobilize the power within me, but found that it was still wild and restless, like a caged beast that might break free at any moment.

"Don't rush, take your time." Su Yao held my hand; her hand was warm and strong, bringing me a sense of comfort and strength.

The Palladium Master walked up to me, his hands emitting a faint golden light. He gently placed his palm on my chest, and a gentle power slowly flowed into my body.

"Relax, feel this power, try to guide it, control it." The palladium master's voice was like an ancient incantation, carrying a magical power.

I closed my eyes, focused my mind, and felt the power of the palladium master flowing through my body. It was gentle and inclusive, gradually calming the restless energy within me. I tried to guide this energy, to let it flow according to my will. It was a long and difficult process; I felt like I was taming a raging beast.

Time ticked by, and fine beads of sweat appeared on my forehead. Su Yao held my hand tightly beside me, offering encouragement and support. Finally, I felt a faint energy flowing slowly under my control, like a gentle stream flowing through my meridians, bringing a sense of coolness and comfort.

"I...I think I've got a little control over it..." I opened my eyes, my voice filled with surprise and disbelief.

"Very good! Continue!" The mentor's voice carried a hint of satisfaction. "Remember this feeling, and slowly master it."

I closed my eyes again and continued to guide the energy within my body. This time, I felt much more at ease. Under my control, the energy gradually became docile, like an obedient little snake, flowing through my meridians.

I slowly opened my eyes, feeling the surge of power within me, an unprecedented sense of strength welling up within me. I looked at Su Yao, whose face wore a relieved smile, her eyes filled with pride and love.

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from outside the secret chamber, like the sound of some kind of restriction being broken. The instructor's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Not good!" He quickly stood up and strode towards the door of the secret chamber…

The door to the secret chamber swung open with a bang, and the figure of the Palladium Instructor vanished in a flash. I struggled to stand up, but found myself still weak and powerless. Su Yao supported me, her eyes full of concern: "How are you feeling?"

I smiled at her, indicating that I was alright. Although I was still exhausted, I could clearly feel that the violent power within me had been brought under control and was no longer raging and rampaging as before. This filled me with hope and strengthened my resolve to master this power.

Su Yao looked at me with relief, her eyes filled with love and admiration. I knew she had been worried about me and praying for me. I held her hand tightly, feeling her warmth, my heart overflowing with gratitude and love.

Just then, a slightly panicked voice came from outside the door: "Mentor! Mentor! Something bad has happened!" It was the boy with metal shavings, who ran into the secret room, pale-faced and panting.

"What happened?" Instructor Jinba's voice came from outside the door, tinged with seriousness.

"I...I accidentally touched a...a restriction..." the metal-titol boy stammered, his eyes filled with fear.

My heart sank, a bad premonition washing over me. My mentor, Jinba, had once said that this secret chamber was surrounded by various restrictions to prevent the dark forces from detecting my power fluctuations. If the restrictions were broken, it would likely attract their attention.

"What restriction?" Instructor Jinba's voice became even sterner.

“It’s…it’s that…that corner…” The boy with the metal shavings pointed to an inconspicuous stone slab in the corner of the secret room, his voice trembling.

The instructor, who was made of metal and palladium, strode to the stone slab, examined it carefully, and his expression grew even more somber. He turned to the boy, who was made of metal and tellurium, and said in a low voice, "This restriction is connected to the warning array outside. If you break it, it may attract the attention of the dark forces."

The boy with the metal shavings turned even paler with fright. He lowered his head, not daring to speak. I was also filled with worry. If the dark forces had truly discovered my existence, it would have brought immense danger.

"Where is the Messenger of Iodine?" the Palladium Mentor asked in a deep voice.

"I've already notified him, and he's on his way." A calm voice came from outside the door, and then a man dressed in black walked in—it was the Messenger of Metal and Iodine.

He bowed to his mentor, then said, "Mentor, I have sent people to check the surrounding area, and so far no trace of the dark forces has been found."

"We must strengthen our vigilance and absolutely not let them discover this place," the Palladium Instructor said firmly.

"Yes!" The iodine messenger accepted the order and left.

Silence fell again in the sealed room, the atmosphere heavy with tension. I was filled with unease, unsure of what would happen next. Although I had gained initial control over the power within me, this was only the beginning; I had a long way to go. What exactly was this power? How could I fully master it?

I looked at Instructor Jinba; he stood before the stone slab, his brow furrowed, seemingly deep in thought. My gaze then shifted to Su Yao, who was holding my hand tightly, offering me strength and support. I knew that no matter how many difficulties and dangers lay ahead, I must face them bravely, for myself and for her.

The mentor slowly turned around and looked at me, a complex emotion in his eyes. "Nong Yu," he said in a deep voice, "your power is extraordinary; it is both your hope and your danger. You must learn to control it as soon as possible, otherwise..." He paused, not continuing, but I knew what he meant.

I took a deep breath and nodded firmly. I knew my fate was now inextricably linked to this power. I would control it, not be controlled by it.

“Come with me,” the gold-palladium instructor said. “Let’s continue our training.”

I stepped back into the cultivation chamber. A mysterious power stirred within me, yet I still didn't know how to break through to the next level. The stone door slowly closed, isolating me from the outside world… “I must succeed…” I silently told myself.
