Beast Taming Star Journey

After defeating Zhao the Beastmaster, I didn't feel relieved; instead, I felt even more uneasy. The feeling of being watched grew stronger, like a venomous snake tightly coiling around me, making it hard to breathe. Su Yao also noticed the abnormality; her delicate brows furrowed, and worry flickered in her eyes.

"Nong Yu, I think we're being watched."

Su Yao's voice was low and tinged with seriousness.

I nodded and said in a deep voice, "I felt it too. Ever since I exposed Zhou's cheating, this feeling has lingered. It seems that someone doesn't want me to continue winning."

"Could it be Judge Ma?"

Su Yao guessed, "He has been prejudiced against you from the beginning, and it seems that Zhao Yushouzhe also has a close relationship with him."

"Probably."

A cold glint flashed in my eyes. "We must find evidence to expose his true colors."

Over the next few days, Su Yao and I began our covert investigation.

We interviewed several contestants and also privately inquired with some competition staff, and finally obtained some clues.

It turns out that Judge Ma secretly accepted bribes, manipulated the competition results, and helped certain contestants advance. He also colluded with a mysterious force, intending to control the entire Beast Taming world.

We have some evidence, but we're missing the most crucial piece to completely bring down Judge Ma. Time is passing, and the final competition is drawing ever closer.

The pressure on me was mounting. I knew that if I couldn't expose Judge Ma's conspiracy before the finals, I would face even greater danger.

“Don’t worry, Nong Yu, I’ve already contacted a key witness who can testify against Judge Ma.”

Su Yao suddenly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of confidence.

My heart leaped with joy, and I quickly asked, "Who is it?"

Su Yao smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when the time comes."

On the day of the finals, the venue was packed, and the atmosphere was exceptionally enthusiastic. Su Yao and I led the mysterious witness to the VIP room where the competition organizers were located.

"What are you going to do?"

The host's expression changed immediately when he saw us.

"Reveal the truth."

I said coldly, my gaze sharp. I presented the evidence in my hand to the organizers one by one and had the witnesses testify against Judge Ma in public.

Judge Ma was deathly pale and trembling, unable to refute us. The competition host was also speechless, forced to watch helplessly as we exposed his ugly face.

The entire stadium erupted in uproar; everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

They never imagined that a judge of such a prestigious competition would do something so despicable.

I took a deep breath and said loudly, "Today, I will expose the truth about Judge Ma's collusion with a mysterious force to manipulate the competition!"

I will make public all the evidence I have gathered, including the ledgers of bribes received by Judge Ma, letters in contact with mysterious forces, and witness testimonies.

Judge Ma's face turned from white to green, then from green to black, before he finally slumped into his chair in despair. All his schemes were exposed at that moment.

The host of the competition was also ashen-faced. He had thought he could manipulate the competition without anyone noticing, but he never expected to be exposed in the end.

The noisy hall fell silent. All eyes were on us, their gazes filled with shock, anger, and... a hint of admiration.

Su Yao stood by my side the whole time, and her unwavering support gave me immense strength. I couldn't help but take her hand... a warm feeling welled up inside me.

Just then, the doors to the venue were suddenly pushed open... Su Yao's hands were soft and warm, and at that moment, I felt that I was no longer alone.

She stood firmly by my side, like a beacon illuminating my path forward.

I turned to look at her, and she gave me an encouraging smile. That smile seemed to have magical power, dispelling all the unease and fear in my heart.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Su Yao spoke softly, her voice low but full of strength. I nodded vigorously, a warm feeling welling up inside me.

I know that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, as long as Su Yao is there, I can overcome everything.

Just then, the doors to the venue were suddenly pushed open, and a group of men in black stormed in. Each of them was armed with a sharp blade, exuding a murderous aura; they were clearly not to be trifled with.

"Anyone who dares to stand in our way will be killed without mercy!"

"The leader of the men in black shouted sharply. My heart skipped a beat. It seems this is the mysterious force behind Judge Ma. They really won't let this go; they've actually sent people to kill me and silence me."

"What do you want to do?"

I stood in front of Su Yao and asked in a deep voice.

"What am I going to do? Of course, I'm going to kill you all to prevent future troubles!"

The man in black grinned maliciously, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. With that, he brandished his sharp blade and lunged at us.

I dared not delay and immediately summoned my beast to engage in a fierce battle with the man in black.

Su Yao was not afraid at all. She wielded her long sword with great skill, repelling the black-clad men who approached her one by one.

We stood back to back, cooperating with each other, and engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.

Although the men in black outnumbered us, we managed to defeat them all thanks to our excellent teamwork and superior strength.

Watching the men in black flee in disarray, I breathed a long sigh of relief. This battle, though thrilling, only strengthened my resolve.

I must eradicate this mysterious force completely and restore order to the Beast Taming World! Although the truth has been revealed, I do not feel relieved.

I know this is just the beginning. The mysterious forces behind Judge Ma will certainly not let this go; they will definitely find ways to retaliate against me.

Moreover, the finals are about to begin, and I will face even stronger opponents. This competition is destined to be anything but peaceful. My relationship with Su Yao will also face new challenges.

"Nong Yu, congratulations, you've drawn Lin."

The competition host, holding the draw results, walked up to me and said calmly, "Contestant Lin?" My heart sank.

Lin is a favorite to win the championship; he's incredibly strong. I've played against him before and know how formidable he is. Drawing him this time is a huge challenge for me.

I looked up at Lin, who was standing in the crowd with a meaningful smile on his lips. That smile made me feel uneasy.

He seems to be plotting something...

"It seems this is going to be a fierce battle..."

I whispered, my eyes fixed on Lin. Su Yao gripped my hand tightly…
