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

Zhou Heng asked, "Does Uncle Li know about this?"

Li Lang shook his head: "He has no idea that I have the token of the Mystic Realm. If he did know, this thing would not have remained in my possession."

Zhou Heng frowned deeply: "Aren't you afraid Uncle Li will blame you later if you don't tell him?"

Li Lang solemnly replied, "This item was passed down to me by my grandfather. According to the laws of the Alliance, even my father has no right to touch it. Besides, I am an adult now, and I can do whatever I want with my things. There's no need to tell him. Anyway, his favorite son has always been my brother."

Zhou Heng didn't want to directly interfere in Li Lang's family affairs, so he could only say tactfully, "I think Uncle Li is quite good to you."

Li Lang composed himself: "I didn't say he was bad to me, it's just that he's better to my brother. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You must not tell anyone that I gave you the token from the Mystic Realm, not even Uncle Ting and Aunt Wan, otherwise they might tell my dad, causing unnecessary trouble. It's not too late to tell us when we've both grown up."

After much deliberation, Zhou Heng stored the token of the Mystic Realm into his storage watch: "I understand what you mean. This matter is a secret between the two of us, and I won't tell anyone. If you ever need any resources in the future, just come to me, and I guarantee I'll arrange everything for you."

Li Lang patted Zhou Heng's arm: "Good brother! I'll be counting on you from now on."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng gave Li Lang many rare and precious herbs suitable for the Ice Bear King to eat before returning to his small villa.

Zhou Heng took out the token of the Mystic Realm and examined it carefully. Finally, he used his mental power to create a small space deep within the Ring of All Rivers and placed it inside.

Aside from the Spirit Source Pearl, which cannot be shown to others, the token that Li Lang gave him is actually the most valuable treasure he currently possesses, enough to exchange for an eighth-tier treasure.

He never expected Li Lang to give him such a big surprise.

He got along well with Li Lang, initially because Zhou's father and Li's father had a good relationship, so the two people of the same age got together.

Later, as they spent more time together, he discovered that although Li Lang's personality had some flaws, he was very honest and straightforward, so he took special care of Li Lang.

Later, as time went by, he came to regard Li Lang as a true friend.

He recalled the moments he had spent with Li Lang and couldn't help but marvel at how wonderful this world was.

So this is what they mean by "the flowers you plant with care may not bloom, while the willows you plant unintentionally may thrive."

He had made up his mind. Since Li Lang trusted him so much that he was even willing to take out such a valuable treasure, he must repay the favor. In the future, he would not only help Li Lang advance to the sixth-level commander beast tamer, but also help him be listed on the list of marquises and become the patriarch of a great family.

Around midnight, Li Lang suddenly sent a message to Zhou Heng, saying that with the help of the Treasure-Gathering Shark Pearl, the Frost Bear King had successfully broken through to the seventh level of the second tier.

Upon receiving this news, Zhou Heng couldn't help but feel happy for Li Lang.

The next morning, when Zhou Heng woke up, he saw Li Lang waiting for him in the living room of the villa.

Zhou Heng stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Has the Ice Bear King broken through to the eighth level of the second tier?"

Li Lang grinned: "Not yet, but it should be soon. Xiao Bing has already reached the peak of the seventh level of the second tier, and should be able to break through to the eighth level of the second tier within this week."

Previously, when Zhou Heng's Phoenix Azure Phoenix was at the second tier, he used a Treasure-Gathering Shark Pearl and leveled up two tiers in just one night. This was mainly because Phoenix Azure Phoenix's tier was slightly lower than that of the Frost Bear King at the time, and Phoenix Azure Phoenix was of high-grade diamond quality, while the Frost Bear King was only of low-grade diamond quality.

The higher the quality, the higher the conversion rate of resources and energy.

Therefore, under the combined influence, even though the same Treasure-Gathering Shark Pearl was consumed, the benefits that the Frost Bear King received were slightly less than those of the Phoenix and Azure Phoenix, but not by much.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "That's great, congratulations. Your current rate of improvement should be no weaker than that of Wang Xuchen and Shi Jingqi, those two S-level talents."

Li Lang looked grateful: "It's all thanks to you! If you hadn't helped me find the treasured mermaid pearl, I would have inevitably fallen behind others."

Last night, he specifically looked into the Yunbao Mermaid Pearl. He discovered that the Yunbao Mermaid Pearl was produced by the Yunbao Mermaids. Although the Yunbao Mermaids were of superior diamond quality, they were extremely rare, and their numbers were very small. They were basically controlled by the Meng family of the Ice Mermaids, one of the large aristocratic families.

If Zhou's mother hadn't also come from a large, prestigious family, she wouldn't have been able to form a contract with the treasure-bearing mermaid.

After all, the Treasure-Gathering Merfolk can produce Treasure-Gathering Merfolk Pearls, making them more valuable than ordinary high-ranking diamond beasts.

There was a tacit understanding among the aristocratic families, and they all intentionally or unintentionally prevented the spread of beasts like the treasure-bearing merfolk to the common people.

It's likely that only Zhou's mother has contracted such a beast on the entire Xuanxiao Star, making the value of the Treasure-Containing Mermaid Pearl even higher than imagined.

Although the tokens from the Mystic Realm are more valuable, they cannot be quickly converted into cash.

Most importantly, using a token to completely cling to Zhou Heng, this golden thigh, is simply the most worthwhile deal.

Although Li Lang usually seems simple-minded and silly, he actually has a sense of justice.

He was going to take a huge gamble, betting that Zhou Heng would never forget his kindness.

Of course, this was also because Ji Chao's gift of the phoenix feather had provoked him last time.

Zhou Heng immediately said, "There's no need for such formalities between us! You're my good brother, so who else would I help if not you? Besides, what you gave me is much more valuable than what I gave you."

Li Lang made no mention of the token from the Mysterious Realm of Wonder: "Having a brother like you is truly my good fortune."

He knew that some things are better left unsaid.

Zhou Heng said sarcastically, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and go! Today is Professor Zhang Peng's practical class, don't be late."

The two then walked out of the villa and ran into Gao Wenwu and He Hongmei. The four of them then went together to the training room where the practical training was being conducted.

Not long after they arrived, Chen Hui also came in alone.

After a short warm-up, the class bell rang.

A silver magic circle appeared before everyone, and Zhang Peng, accompanied by his tamed beast, the Silver Serpent of the Universe, made a dazzling entrance: "Hello, classmates!"

Everyone greeted in unison, "Hello, teacher!"

Zhang Peng nodded: "It's a new week again. You had a five-day holiday before, including New Year's Day and the weekend. I hope you didn't just play around at home and neglect your beast training, right?"

The five trainees answered in unison: "Of course not."

Zhang Peng specifically reminded them, "That's good! You all probably know that next Tuesday is the end-of-term grade-level competition, so you should all be ready, right?"

After the end-of-term grade-level competition, winter vacation will begin.
