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

The ancient master bowed deeply, his eyes filled with reverence: "Senior, may I ask who your young master is?"

Feng Zhong looked at Zhou Heng respectfully, awaiting his instructions.

Zhou Heng stood up and walked to the edge of the private room where the glass was no longer there, looking down at the old master: "Master Gu, my father is Zhou Ting, the deputy director of the Education Bureau."

Master Gu suddenly realized what was happening and became even more respectful: "So it was Lord Zhou's son in person. Please forgive my rudeness just now."

He knew Zhou Heng's identity, after all, he often followed a sixth-level commander beast tamer, so it was hard for him not to know many things.

That's why he appears so humble.

Because he knew in his heart that even Speaker Song, who was behind him, could not afford to offend Zhou Heng, a direct descendant of a large and powerful family with exceptional talent.

Not to mention him, an ordinary fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer.

Zhou Heng continued, "Grandmaster Gu, you are too kind. I wonder if you could give me face today and spare the lives of these two beast tamers? Their beast tamers have already suffered a severe backlash from being killed, which is equivalent to losing half their lives. From now on, their strength will not advance but regress, and they will be no threat to you or your descendants."

Although the old master looked embarrassed, he did not dare to resist at all: "Since Young Master Zhou has spoken personally, this old man naturally dares not refuse Young Master Zhou's request."

Zhou Heng immediately threw out a jade token, which landed in front of the ancient master: "If you encounter any difficulties that you cannot solve in the future, you can take this token to me, and I can help you resolve a crisis to the best of my ability."

Grandmaster Gu picked up the jade tablet, overjoyed, and bowed deeply to Zhou Heng, saying sincerely, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Zhou!"

Zhou Heng nodded and sat back down.

Feng Zhong also retrieved the Corrupted Soul Poisonous Python into his Beast Taming Space, and then flew back to Zhou Heng's side.

With a wave of his hand, a transparent wall of energy light replaced the one-way reflective glass floor-to-ceiling window, blocking out the view from the outside world.

"The victor is Gu Xuhuai!" The referee's voice resounded throughout the stadium through the megaphone.

Some spectators in the lower stands cheered for winning money, while others beat their chests in despair for losing it. Many more were excited to witness the fall of a fourth-tier master beast tamer.

However, most of them appeared to be quite restrained.

They had already been excited once because of Feng Zhong's previous actions.

What caused them the greatest emotional fluctuation was not Feng Zhong's status as a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer, but rather that Feng Zhong, despite being a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer, was merely Zhou Heng's attendant.

This fact had a profound impact on them.

Even if Master Fu were to be defeated and die in front of them, the impact on their minds would not be comparable to this.

Suppressing his myriad emotions, the ancient master retrieved his three tamed beasts into his beast-taming space and flew straight off the arena.

Then, the staff of the Star Arena tried to carry away Master Fu's bloodied body and treat the injuries of the Icefield Purple Mane Mastiff and the Thousand-Legged Ice Centipede.

But the two beasts stayed by Master Fu's side the whole time, preventing anyone else from getting close.

In the end, it was only after the arena sent out a fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer to suppress the Icefield Purple Mane Mastiff and the Thousand-Legged Ice Centipede, along with several of Grandmaster Fu's relatives comforting him, that Grandmaster Fu's body was successfully carried off the arena. At the same time, the Icefield Purple Mane Mastiff and the Thousand-Legged Ice Centipede were able to receive treatment.

The door to the private room was gently pushed open, and Manager Zhao entered, bowing as he carried a gold platter containing a large amount of Alliance Coins: "Congratulations to Young Master Zhou and Young Master Li for your discerning eye. Here is a prize of 1.65 million coins. Please accept it with pleasure."

Li Lang raised his hand and put his 150,000 yuan into his storage watch.

Zhou Heng only took 1.3 million yuan: "Just now, in order to help Elder Zhong save Master Fu's two beasts, I broke one of your floor-to-ceiling windows. The remaining 200,000 yuan is compensation for you."

Manager Zhao bowed and scraped: "Young Master Zhou, you're too kind. A floor-to-ceiling window shouldn't cost that much."

Zhou Heng didn't even lift his eyelids: "If you don't need it, keep it for yourself. Consider it a tip from me."

Manager Zhao was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Young Master Zhou, for your generous gift!"

Zhou Heng then added, "Grandmaster Fu is probably unaware that Grandmaster Gu possesses the trump card of three tamed beasts; otherwise, he would have prepared a countermeasure in advance. Even Grandmaster Gu's old rival is unaware of this, so how did you know this?"

Manager Zhao's face showed a hint of relief: "It's quite a coincidence. One of our analysts has a rather special contracted beast, which is particularly sensitive to the auras of ordinary beasts that are easily overlooked. Although Grandmaster Gu usually hides the Blue Feather Hummingbird very well, he must have come into contact with it when no one is around. Whenever there is contact, the corresponding aura will remain on his body. That's why we accidentally discovered that Grandmaster Gu, who appears to have only contracted two beasts, actually has contracted three. Moreover, Grandmaster Gu kept this secret very well before, and no one knew about it. That's why our Star Arena concluded that Grandmaster Gu has a greater chance of winning this life-or-death duel."

Li Lang couldn't help but sigh, "This Grandmaster Gu is truly cunning! He's also quite good at hiding his true intentions. With his cunning and scheming, Grandmaster Fu's death was not unjust."

Zhou Heng nodded: "This has taught us a lesson; we must always be careful not to capsize in a ditch."

Li Lang nodded repeatedly: "That's right."

Manager Zhao flattered, "Only peasants would stumble in a ditch; why should you two gentlemen worry about such a thing?"

Zhou Heng said solemnly, "Anything is possible, and nothing is certain. Only by being careful can we ensure a safe journey."

Manager Zhao immediately adopted a look of having learned something: "Young Master Zhou is right! I have learned a lot."

Li Lang waved his hand: "Alright, you can leave now!"

"Yes!" Manager Zhao replied with a smile in his eyes, and retreated obsequiously.

Zhou Heng was about to get up when he said, "We've finished watching the life-or-death duel between fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers. We should go now."

Li Lang quickly stopped Zhou Heng: "There are still some matches to come, don't you want to watch them?"

Zhou Heng asked in confusion, "Could it be that there's a life-or-death duel between fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers?"

Li Lang replied truthfully, "No, there aren't many fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers, even on Xuanxiao Star. There are only about 20,000. Xuanxiao Star has a population of over 10 billion. So, the proportion of fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers is only 0.02 per ten thousand. Therefore, you might not encounter a scene of a life-or-death duel between fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers even once every year or two."

Zhou Heng confirmed again: "There are no life-or-death duels, but are there any ordinary duels between grandmasters? Just a simple contest of victory or defeat, without deciding life or death."

Li Lang shook his head: "It's also rare, because a fourth-level master beast tamer can live a very respectable life no matter what they do. Even if they go outside the city to hunt extraordinary creatures, they can make a lot of money and don't need to rely on fighting in the arena to make a living."
