Beast Taming Star Journey

The ground trembled more and more violently, and I felt a powerful force surging up from the depths of the earth. In the center of the assessment area, a huge crack appeared in the once flat ground, and a thick black mist gushed out from the crack, spreading throughout the entire assessment area.

"what happened?"

The surrounding examinees screamed in panic.

The examiner, Han, with a solemn expression, shouted loudly, "Everyone, don't panic! This is the final part of the assessment—the Beast Taming Adaptability Test! Now, you need to find the hidden Beast Taming Spirit in the black mist, communicate with it, and gain its approval to pass the assessment!"

The black fog obscured my vision, making it pitch black. I could only rely on the telepathic connection between myself and Xiao Yan to perceive my surroundings.

Xiao Yan let out a low growl, seemingly sensing the danger hidden within the black mist.

"Xiao Yan, be careful."

I said in a low voice. I gripped the sword tightly in my hand and cautiously groped my way forward.

I could hear gasps of surprise from other examinees and roars from their beasts all around me. I knew they were also struggling to survive in this black fog.

Suddenly, I sensed a powerful aura approaching me. I immediately became alert, channeling my spiritual energy into my sword, ready to deal with any sudden danger.

"who is it?"

I shouted. From the black mist, a huge figure slowly emerged. It was a massive beast, exuding a suffocating aura.

"Roar!"

The beast let out a deafening roar and pounced on me.

"Little Flame, Flame Throw!"

I immediately gave the order. Little Flame opened its mouth wide and spewed out a blazing flame, forcing the beast back. I took the opportunity to observe the beast and noticed that it was emitting a faint golden light, a light that felt somewhat familiar to me.

"Could it be..."

A thought struck me: the Beast Taming Spirit the examiner had mentioned. I tried to communicate with the beast, conveying my goodwill to it.

"I meant no harm, I just wanted your approval."

I said sincerely. The beast seemed to sense my sincerity, stopped attacking, and stood quietly in front of me.

I continued to communicate with it, telling it about my experiences and my understanding of beast taming. Gradually, the hostility in the beast's eyes disappeared, replaced by a hint of appreciation.

It slowly lowered its head and nuzzled my shoulder with its massive head, indicating its approval. I was overjoyed, knowing that I had passed the test.

Just then, the black mist gradually dissipated, and the assessment area was illuminated again. Examiner Han looked at me, nodded slightly, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"Congratulations, Nong Yu, you have passed the test."

I breathed a sigh of relief, my heart filled with joy. Suddenly, a figure walked up to me.

"Hello, my name is Ma Kaosheng, your performance was excellent."

I looked up and saw a tall young man smiling at me.

"Hello, my name is Nong Yu."

I replied.

"Your beast taming skills are amazing. I'd love to exchange beast taming experiences with you."

Ma, one of the test takers, said.

"I also admire your abilities."

I said. We looked at each other and smiled, a feeling of mutual appreciation welling up between us.

I felt a burning gaze fixed on me. I turned my head and saw Su Yao standing in the distance with a gentle smile on her face.

A warmth filled my heart, and I walked towards her...

“Su Yao…”

I walked up to Su Yao, and she came up to me and gave me a big hug.

"I knew you could do it!"

She whispered in my ear, her voice filled with pride. I gently patted her back, feeling her joy, and my heart was filled with sweetness as well.

The pressure of the assessment vanished at that moment, leaving only the peace and warmth of being with her.

"Your performance just now was absolutely brilliant!"

Su Yao let go of me and said excitedly, "Especially when you and Xiao Yan teamed up to fight that beast-taming spirit, it was absolutely awesome!"

I chuckled and scratched my head, feeling a little embarrassed. Just then, Ma, the examinee, walked over.

"Hello, my name is Ma Kaosheng, your performance was excellent."

He extended his hand, a genuine smile on his face.

"Hello, my name is Nong Yu."

I grasped his hand in response. His palm was broad and strong, and I could feel his profound spiritual power.

"Your beast taming skills are amazing. I'd love to exchange beast taming experiences with you."

Ma, the examinee, said with eyes full of enthusiasm for taming beasts.

"I also admire your strength, especially your mastery of earth-type beast taming, which is exquisite."

I exclaimed in sincere admiration. During the assessment, I observed that the examinee's beast was an earth-attribute pangolin with astonishing defensive capabilities and a highly skilled command of earth elements.

We started chatting, from methods of raising beasts to combat techniques, and then to the types of beasts we each had. The more we talked, the more we clicked, as if we had known each other for a long time.

Su Yao stood to the side, watching us chat happily, and a gratified smile appeared on her face.

She knew that I came here not only to improve my strength, but also to make more friends and move forward together on the path of beast taming.

However, just as we were getting into our conversation, a gasp came from the crowd.

I turned my head and saw that Ma Kaosheng's pangolin had suddenly collapsed to the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

The examinee's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly ran to the pangolin's side and anxiously called its name.

"what happened?"

The surrounding candidates gathered around, discussing the matter animatedly.

"Is it poisoning?"

"It looks like it's being controlled by something."

Just then, a chilling voice rang out: "I think it must be Nong Yu who did this! He was talking to Ma Kaosheng the whole time, and he might have taken the opportunity to poison him!"

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Liu, the examinee, standing in the crowd, looking at me with a sinister expression. As soon as he spoke, the surrounding examinees immediately turned their suspicious gazes towards me.

I was startled, realizing I had been framed. I hadn't tampered with Ma Sheng's beast at all, but now, all the evidence pointed to me.

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. I knew this wasn't the time to panic; I had to find a way to prove my innocence.

I walked over to the pangolin belonging to the horse examinee, squatted down, and carefully observed its symptoms. Its skin had turned an eerie dark purple, its breathing was rapid, and its pulse was erratic.

This is definitely not an ordinary toxin; it's more like some kind of evil spiritual erosion.

"This...what the hell is going on?"

The candidate asked anxiously, his eyes filled with helplessness.

I looked up and around. Everyone's eyes were on me, filled with suspicion, hostility, and even schadenfreude.

I felt an immense pressure pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe. I clenched my fists tightly and silently vowed: I must find out the truth and clear my name!

"let me see……"

I reached out and slowly approached the pangolin's body...
