Beast Taming Star Journey

Su Yao's hand was warm and strong, her palms slightly sweaty; I could feel her tension. I gripped her hand in return, giving her a reassuring look. "Lin, I know you're strong, but I'm not someone to be trifled with." After the draw results were announced, a buzz of discussion erupted around us, like a swarm of annoying mosquitoes.

I vaguely heard people say things like, "Nong Yu is finished this time," and "Lin is a favorite to win the championship."

I don't care. The outcome is still undecided, and it's uncertain who will emerge victorious.

Lin remained standing in the crowd, that meaningful smile always lingering on his lips, making me feel like a thorn stuck in my throat, an indescribable discomfort.

What exactly is he planning? This feeling is just like when we fought the men in black before, that feeling of being watched and schemed against.

During the preparation phase before the competition, the contestants were checking their pets and equipment.

My tamed beast, the Howling Moon Wolf, is lying quietly beside me. It seems to sense the tense atmosphere of the competition, glancing up at me from time to time with eyes full of trust and encouragement.

While I was checking Xiaoyue Tianlang's equipment, I was also observing Lin, who was not paying attention to me.

He was testing his tamed beast, a giant lizard covered in black scales, named the Shadow Lizard. This was a tamed beast renowned for its speed and attack power, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

My gaze fell on the Shadow Lizard's claws, where it wore a specially made pair of metal claw guards.

There's nothing wrong with the claws themselves; they're common equipment in beast-taming competitions and can enhance the attack power of your beast.

But the reflection on Lin's claw guards struck me as odd. The reflection seemed a bit too intense, unlike that of ordinary metal.

I slowly approached Lin and casually asked, "Lin, your claw guards look quite unique. What material are they made of?"

Lin looked up at me, a fleeting hint of panic in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "Nothing special, just ordinary steel."

I sneered inwardly. Ordinary high-quality steel? Don't be ridiculous!

I examined the claw guards more closely and found some tiny lines on them. These lines were so subtle that they would be impossible to spot without careful observation.

A thought flashed through my mind. Could these patterns be...? I suddenly remembered that when I was investigating the man in black, I had seen a special device that could use special patterns to control beasts, making them more ferocious and even ignoring their master's commands.

This device is strictly prohibited by the Beast Taming Alliance because it can cause great harm to tamed beasts and may even lead to their death.

Could it be that Lin's claw guards also have such a device installed? Thinking of this, my heart sank.

If that's the case, then this match is not just a simple game, but a conspiracy!

I took a deep breath, pointed at Lin's claw guards, and shouted, "Lin, there's something wrong with your claw guards! I suspect you've used a prohibited device!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the whole room erupted in an uproar... As soon as I finished speaking, the whole room erupted in an uproar.

Lin's face instantly turned ashen. He pointed at me and roared, "Nong Yu, you're slandering me! What evidence do you have that there's something wrong with my claw guards?"

The competition host also came over, his brow furrowed, and said, "Nong Yu, please watch your words. Without solid evidence, your actions will be considered malicious slander."

It's clear that he's more inclined to believe Lin.

I took a deep breath, suppressing my anger, and said, "I don't have concrete evidence, but I'm certain that there's something wrong with Lin's claws! I request the tournament organizing committee to inspect Lin's equipment!"

"You are being unreasonable!"

Lin roared, "My claw guards are certified by the competition organizing committee, there's absolutely no problem! You're deliberately disrupting the competition!"

The host also advised, "Nong Yu, the competition is about to begin, don't waste any more time. If you have no evidence, please retract your statement and apologize to Lin."

I stood my ground, saying, "What if my suspicions are true? If Lin really did use a banned device, then where is the fairness of this competition? I insist on checking Lin's equipment!"

As the stalemate continued, the discussions in the audience grew louder, with some supporting me and others questioning me.

Ultimately, with the intervention of the competition organizing committee, Lin had to undergo an equipment inspection.

The inspection results came back quickly: Lin's claw guards were indeed fitted with prohibited control devices! The truth came out, and the entire audience was in an uproar.

Lin, the contestant, turned pale and was speechless. The host was also extremely embarrassed and announced that Lin had been disqualified from the competition.

I gave Lin a cold look, then turned and walked onto the competition field. I won this match, but I knew this was just the beginning.

As soon as the gong sounded to signal the start of the match, Lin launched a fierce attack.

The Shadow Lizard was incredibly fast. It transformed into a black shadow and instantly rushed in front of the Howling Moon Wolf. Its sharp claws, carrying a fierce gust of wind, slashed fiercely at the Howling Moon Wolf.

Although the Howling Moon Wolf was quite strong, it was still struggling to withstand the Shadow Demon Lizard's fierce attacks.

With a thought, I immediately activated my beast-taming ability, sharing power with the Howling Moon Wolf.

A powerful force surged into my body, my senses became sharper, and my movements became faster.

I sensed that the power of the Howling Moon Wolf had also increased; its speed and strength had been significantly enhanced.

With the support of shared power, the Howling Moon Wolf gradually stabilized the situation, skillfully dodging the Shadow Lizard's attacks and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin used his hidden skill again.

The Shadow Lizard's body suddenly swelled, its strength and speed increased again, and its attacks became even more ferocious. The Howling Moon Wolf was once again in danger.

At this critical moment, the Howling Moon Wolf suddenly had a flash of inspiration and mastered a new evasion technique.

It dodged the Shadow Lizard's attack at an incredible angle and swiftly retaliated, grabbing the Shadow Lizard's belly with a claw.

The Shadow Lizard let out a miserable cry as its body crashed heavily to the ground. Lin's expression changed drastically; he frantically tried to control the Shadow Lizard, but it was too late.

Xiaoyue Tianlang pressed his advantage, and in the end, Lin was defeated. I breathed a sigh of relief; this match was hard-won.

I know that the competition will become increasingly difficult, and I am also worried that the forces behind the major tournament will have new methods to target me.

Back in the rest area, I noticed a small wound on Xiaoyue Tianlang's leg, bleeding... My expression changed, "Xiaoyue, your leg..."
