Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Seeing the immense power displayed by Zhou Heng's three tamed beasts, the students riding on his mounts felt an even greater sense of awe towards him.

Without Zhou Heng, the strongest among them would only be Li Lang's tamed beast, the level 15 Frost Bear King, while most of the other tamed beasts would be at level 11 or 12.

Although the Blackscale Boars are only a lower-level Bronze race, they would still have to put in a lot of effort to deal with the level 18 Blackscale Boar leader and hundreds of Blackscale Boars.

It would never have been as easy as it is now, where we immediately routed the group of black-scaled wild boars.

Seeing that the Eternal Night Demon Dragon had swallowed another Blackscale Mountain Boar, Zhou Heng quickly stopped it, saying, "Tyrant, eating too many first and second-tier Blackscale Mountain Boars won't do you any good. Two or three as snacks are enough. Don't eat too many. I'll feed you third-tier extraordinary creatures when we get back."

"Aww~"

The excitement in the Eternal Night Dragon's eyes faded, and it shrank its purple dragon wings, revealing a hint of human-like reluctance.

However, it still chose to listen to Zhou Heng and stopped eating the black-scaled wild boar.

While Zhou Heng was communicating with the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, Feng Yi Qing Luan killed more than a dozen Black Scale Mountain Boars.

The Silver Dragon of the Sea also killed a level 17 Black Scale Mountain Boar, which was second only to the Mountain Boar Leader.

Zhou Heng also stopped Feng Yi Qingluan and Fu Hai Yinlong, who wanted to continue the killing: "Jiuxiao, Feihong, you should stop too! Don't kill all the Blackscale Mountain Boars, leave some for the students to practice on."

"唳~~"

The phoenix and the blue luan spread their wings and immediately flew to Zhou Heng's side.

"Ugh~~"

With a flick of its tail, the Silver Dragon of the Sea flew back to Zhou Heng's side.

Neither of them were bloodthirsty, so they immediately stopped attacking as soon as Zhou Heng spoke.

Seeing this, Li Lang immediately charged forward with the Frost Bear King: "Classmates! Let's all attack together!"

The remaining dozen or so people followed suit, charging forward with their beasts.

The Blackscale Mountain Boars now number only eighty-odd, and with their leader and second strongest member dead, they are simply unable to mount any effective counterattack.

Even with Zhou Heng watching from the sidelines with his three tamed beasts, the battle had become one-sided.

These top high school students chased after the black-scaled wild boars.

In the end, the dozen or so students killed about thirty more black-scaled wild boars, leaving only about fifty black-scaled wild boars that escaped.

The top students remembered Zhou Heng's words about the importance of sustainable development, so instead of chasing after the enemy, they started cleaning up the battlefield and taking stock of their spoils.

Zhou Heng delegated all these tasks to Li Lang.

Because Li Lang was a very dedicated deputy, Zhou Heng felt at ease with him around.

Zhou Heng stood on the back of the Eternal Night Dragon, gazing into the distance.

Gao Wenwu suddenly walked over carrying a small wild boar that was half a meter long: "Captain, look what we found! A level one black-scaled wild boar cub! We can use it as a contracted beast."

Zhou Heng nodded: "That's right, who among you discovered it first?"

Gao Wenwu raised his hand: "Captain, I was the one who discovered it first."

Zhou Heng said directly, "Since you found it, it's your spoils. Keep it safe. Although the Blackscale Boar cub is only a low-level bronze-quality beast, it can still sell for several hundred thousand."

Because beast tamers can only contract with the cubs of extraordinary creatures, a cub can sometimes be more expensive than a mature extraordinary creature of the same species.

Because one can become a contractual partner, while the other can only be obtained by taking out the crystal core, killing it, and eating it.

Gao Wenwu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Captain!"

Zhou Heng then asked, "Is this the only cub?"

Gao Wenwu replied, "This is the only one. It should have been born today. There are a few others that look like cubs, but they have already reached level two and have passed the cub stage."

Wild offspring of extraordinary creatures usually pass through this stage very quickly, sometimes in a few days, and sometimes even in a few hours.

Moreover, those with lower racial qualities tend to be faster.

Only by quickly passing through the cub stage can they have the ability to protect themselves; this is a kind of evolutionary wisdom.

Only if the species has higher quality will the offspring be born at a higher level and have stronger self-protection capabilities, and the time it takes to get through the offspring stage will be slightly slower, but not by much.

Just like Zhou Heng's Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and Eternal Night Demon Dragon, in order to prevent them from transitioning from cubs to adults before forming a contract, the Zhou and Li families sealed them away.

The seal was only broken when Zhou Heng made a contract with them.

Ji Chao then asked, "Captain, what about the remaining small beasts?"

Zhou Heng casually remarked, "Once they're past the cub stage, you can't form contracts with them anymore. There's not much meat to be gained by killing them anyway, so let's release them!"

Ji Chao accepted the order and left: "Yes!"

Gao Wenwu suddenly looked troubled: "Captain, this cub will probably reach level two and enter its growth stage within a day. At that time, we won't be able to form a contract with it, but we can't go back to the city now. What should we do?"

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "It's very simple. After we get back to the camp, go find the principal and ask him for help. As a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer, it's quite easy for the principal to temporarily seal a low-level bronze-quality beast cub."

Gao Wenwu hesitated for a moment: "Will the principal help me?"

Zhou Heng said confidently, "You're a student in the top class, the principal won't refuse to help you. Even if the principal doesn't help you, Teacher Zhang Peng will. Others might not be able to tell, but I can. Teacher Zhang Peng really admires you."

Gao Wenwu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Captain! You're such a kind person."

Afterwards, Li Lang took stock of the spoils of war.

He walked over with more than forty crystal cores: "Reporting to the captain, a total of fifty-one Blackscale Mountain Boars were captured. Three of them were eaten by the Eternal Night Demon Dragon. Of the remaining forty-eight, six were Tier 2 and forty-two were Tier 1. Most of the prey were intact, and all the crystal cores are here."

Zhou Heng waved his hand and put the two level 18 and level 17 crystal cores into his storage watch: "Give the rest to the students! In the future, if there are similar hunting activities, after killing extraordinary creatures, just let the students take the crystal cores directly."

Li Lang's voice boomed: "Received!"

Zhou Heng then instructed, "Also, don't forget to organize the students to do some simple cutting and processing of the prey, and select the best-tasting lean meat to take away."

Li Lang nodded emphatically: "Understood!"

Crystal nuclei, as the energy core within extraordinary organisms, are extremely valuable.

A first-order crystal core is worth between five thousand and one hundred thousand, while a second-order crystal core is worth between two hundred thousand and five hundred thousand.

These dozens of crystal cores could sell for at least several million, but Zhou Heng didn't care, so he directly distributed them to the top students in his group.

This will also better stimulate their hunting enthusiasm.

As expected, everyone was delighted when they heard Zhou Heng's allocation plan.

Zhou Heng won everyone's favor.

Everyone applauded Zhou Heng's arrangement and were completely convinced of its merits.
