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

Wang Zhu suddenly walked in: "Young Master Zhou, a white dove came outside with a letter on its claw. The envelope says it's specially for you. I've brought it over for you."

White Cloud Pigeon, mid-level bronze quality.

This type of beast has very low attack power and poor defense, but its speed is outstanding among beasts of the same level, comparable to a silver-quality flying beast, and it has a very friendly personality.

Sometimes, Beastmasters may have messages that are inconvenient to send via communicator, so they can use the White Cloud Pigeon to deliver them.

However, Baiyun Pigeon is more often trained as a beast of the heart for delivering food and packages.

Zhou Heng asked, "Who delivered the letter to me?"

Wang Zhu shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't open it."

"What letter? Let me see."

At Zhou Heng's prompting, Li Lang took the envelope from Wang Zhu, opened it, glanced at it, and handed it to Zhou Heng: "This is a letter Liu Yao wrote to you."

Zhou Heng took the letter and began to read it silently.

"...Zhou Heng, thank you for not kicking me when I was down, but my peaceful life is gone forever... The Zuo family, the Xiao family, and the shareholders of Yaoyang Group conspired to harm my mother, and I must avenge her... Please apologize to the principal for me; I have failed his expectations... This time, I'm going to the Qingyang Society's headquarters with Protector Qin, and I don't know when I'll be able to return. I hope we will meet again... Take care..."

The Zuo family is the family of Zuo Yuqing's grandfather, the Xiao family is the family of Tang Tianci's maternal grandfather, and the shareholders of Yaoyang Group are former subordinates of Liu Hao, Liu Yao's nominal father.

After reading the letter, Zhou Heng folded it neatly, put it back into the envelope, and then casually put it into his storage watch.

Li Lang sighed, "Liu Yao is quite bold; he still dares to send you a letter at a time like this."

Zhou Heng remained noncommittal: "He must have made arrangements in advance. If he only sent me a letter, that would be quite wise. Even if I accepted his letter, I have the Zhou family behind me, and the Alliance won't do anything to me. Now that he's a traitor to the Alliance, if this letter ends up in someone else's hands, and word gets out, it could implicate others."

Li Lang clicked his tongue in amazement: "He's already a traitor, why is he still in contact with you? Could it be that you've really influenced him?"

Zhou Heng casually said, "Aside from joining the Qingyang Society, he hasn't done anything particularly bad. He's just been getting humiliated by us all along. There's no question of whether he's been reformed or not."

Li Lang's tone was complicated: "Before the semester is even over, only five of the nine people in the top class are left. Yu Li deserved to die, Xu Yaya and Tang Tianci were just too unlucky, and Liu Yao went astray. Fortunately, you are still there to carry the torch in the first year of No. 3 High School, otherwise, the college entrance examination results for No. 3 High School three years later will be too bad."

Zhou Heng chimed in, "I'm afraid the principal is feeling very bad right now. It was such a relief that No. 3 Middle School produced two students with S-level talent this year, but now there's only one left."

Li Lang smiled and said, "As long as it's not you who gets into trouble, even if the principal is upset, he'll recover after a while. After all, you have a very good chance of winning the league's top draft pick, which is more important than ten ordinary students with S-level talent."

Zhou Heng immediately said, "Since you've said that, I can't slack off even more! Come on, you take Xiao Bing with you, and I'll take Jiu Xiao, Fei Hong, and Tyrant with me. Let's train for a few more hours."

Li Lang quickly replied, "That's exactly what I was thinking too."

……

Time flies like water, and before we know it, it's the end of December.

On the eve of New Year's Day, the principal of No. 3 Middle School had already arranged for people to decorate the entire school with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the festive atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger.

Because there will be a two-day holiday tomorrow, the school wants to celebrate New Year's Day with the students in advance.

Even after 6,500 years and the advent of the interstellar age, New Year's Day still exists.

Li Lang handed over a golden box: "Aheng, this is my New Year's gift. Open it and take a look."

Zhou Heng took the box, opened it, and saw a green lychee inside with golden feather patterns: "Is this a fourth-grade low-level spirit fruit, the Phoenix Blood Lychee?"

Only lychee spiritual plants that have been stained with the blood of phoenixes of the fifth rank or higher can produce phoenix blood lychees.

One of them is usually worth around four million.

Li Lang smiled and said, "This spiritual fruit should be helpful to your Nine Heavens realm, right?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Of course it's helpful, thank you."

Li Lang said happily, "There's no need for formalities between us."

"I also have a gift for you." Zhou Heng took out a small blue bottle and handed it to Li Lang.

Li Lang channeled his spiritual energy into it and immediately beamed with joy: "A top-grade fourth-tier Extreme Yin Ice Marrow!"

This spiritual item is derived from the spiritual veins beneath the iceberg. It can stimulate the bloodline of ice-attribute beasts and accelerate their growth. As long as too much is used at once, there will be no side effects.

It is very suitable for the Ice Bear King at this stage.

Zhou Heng specifically instructed: "Although your Little Ice is only at the second level and its level is not high enough, you can only take a small amount of Extreme Yin Ice Marrow each time, melt it, and feed it to Little Ice so that it can gradually adapt and accelerate its growth."

Li Lang waved his hand and took out a white bottle: "This is the Extreme Yin Ice Marrow that my dad bought for me. It cost more than ten million. He said it would last until the end of my first year of high school. You just happened to give me another bottle, so it will last until the second semester of my second year of high school."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "It seems that Uncle Li and I are on the same page and have the same idea."

Li Lang beamed with joy: "It's not that you're all on the same wavelength, but that you all care about me and specially bought this treasure for me to help me accelerate Xiao Bing's growth."

Zhou Heng said sincerely, "You are Uncle Li's biological son. Although Uncle Li has devoted more effort to your brother, he also loves you. I am your best friend. If I don't care about you, who will I care about?"

Li Lang was deeply moved: "Aheng, thank you so much."

Zhou Heng patted Li Lang on the shoulder: "What's there to thank me for? Aren't you also thinking of me? The Luan Blood Lychee is also quite beneficial to my Nine Heavens."

As the two were chatting, Gao Wenwu and He Hongmei walked over together.

They also gave Zhou Heng and Li Lang a gift each.

Gao Wenwu gave Zhou Heng a first-grade high-quality treasure, which was made into the shape of a paintbrush.

There was a painting competition at school before, and Zhou Heng participated, so everyone in the advanced class knew that Zhou Heng liked painting.

A first-grade high-quality magic weapon is worth around 200,000, which isn't considered a particularly valuable gift, but it also depends on who is giving it.

Gao Wenwu's family background wasn't particularly good. Although he received a ranking bonus every month as a student in the top class, raising beasts was very expensive.

The fact that he could give such a gift already shows his thoughtfulness.

What Gao Wenwu gave to Li Lang was also a top-quality treasure, namely a waist drum.

Li Lang loves music, so this can be considered catering to his interests.

He Hongmei gave Zhou Heng the "Beast Tamer Heavenly Lord" comic book collector's edition, a complete set of 128 volumes, worth more than 30,000 yuan.

What was given to Li Lang was an ancient music score personally signed by a musician from three hundred years ago.

The value of this item is hard to estimate. It is worthless to most beast tamers, but it has special significance to music lovers.

Zhou Heng and Li Lang also returned the favor with gifts, all of which were worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Subsequently, Chen Hui and Zhou Heng had a casual relationship, and Chen Hui only gave Zhou Heng a gift worth several thousand yuan. Zhou Heng also gave him a gift of similar value in return.
