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

Mr. Li looked relieved: "Luckily, we didn't go into the Green Maple Secret Realm because of what happened with Liu Hao."

Zhou Heng specifically said, "Uncle Li, don't worry, there will be no danger in our family's private sanctuary."

Mr. Li smiled broadly: "Xiao Heng, thank you so much."

Zhou Heng said sincerely, "Ah Lang is my best friend, it's no trouble at all."

"It's getting late, let's get ready to set off."

Mr. Zhou said to Mr. Li, "If Brother Li is interested, you can come and see our Zhou family's space tunnel. After all, Brother Li comes from a distinguished family. If there is an opportunity in the future, you can also return to the Li family through this space tunnel."

Mr. Li was shocked upon hearing this.

Space tunnel?

This can only be opened by a beast tamer of at least the seventh rank!

I never expected it to be hidden in such a small manor.

"Stop teasing me, bro. Why are you going back to the Li family?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Li's father's face: "Ever since my father broke with the family because of my mother, it has become difficult for us descendants to return to the family."

Li Lang's grandfather was originally a collateral relative of the Jinwu Li family. Although he was exceptionally poor in talent, if nothing unexpected happened, he could have lived a very comfortable and carefree life.

Who would have thought that he would fall in love with a woman from the Heavenly Principle Sect, who was Li Lang's grandmother? This wouldn't have been a big deal, and no one would have bothered if he had kept it a secret.

However, the fact that this woman killed a direct descendant of another powerful family in order to carry out her mission made things very complicated.

In the end, although Li Lang's grandfather and Li Lang's grandmother were lovers and eventually got married, Li Lang's grandfather was expelled from the Jinwu Li family, Li Lang's grandmother's soul was injured, and her master beast was also killed. After wandering around for a while, the two finally arrived at Xuanxiao Star.

However, the Jinwu Li family was not as ruthless as one might imagine; at least they shielded Li Lang's grandmother from retaliation from another family.

Zhou's mother said in a gentle voice, "The family doesn't actually care as much about what happened back then. Besides, my brother is now the head of the Li family. He's younger and more open-minded than my father. If my brother is willing, I can act as a go-between to get the family to accept you back."

"Sister-in-law, I understand your good intentions. If one day I can become a sixth-level commander beast tamer, I will definitely return to the family." Father Li did not actually not want to return to the family, but he felt guilty, so he thought he would postpone it.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou understood Mr. Li's thoughts, so they didn't try to persuade him any further.

The group passed through several courtyards and arrived at the depths of the manor's back garden.

With a wave of his hand, Zhou's father revealed a silver vortex of flowing light, which was the entrance and exit of the spatial tunnel, also known as the Gate of Space.

At first glance, an incredibly profound aura emanates from it, captivating the mind and spirit.

"This...this is a space tunnel?" Li Lang's eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly.

Although he came from a decent background, this was the first time he had ever seen a space tunnel.

Mr. Li was quite knowledgeable and had even seen a space tunnel, but he was still shocked by the Zhou family's extravagant gesture.

"This is a space tunnel leading to the ancient star Yuanli, which leads directly to Yuandu. It was personally opened by the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon, the contract partner of our ancestor."

Zhou's father spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something trivial: "Although Xuanxiao Star and Yuandu are more than 600 billion kilometers apart, we can travel from Xuanxiao Star to Yuandu in an instant through this space tunnel."

"As far as I know, although seventh-tier beast tamers can open space tunnels, their stability and the distance they can travel are far inferior to those of eighth-tier beast tamers. The shortest distance a seventh-tier beast tamer's space tunnel can span is about 100 million kilometers, and the longest is only 10 billion kilometers. Only eighth-tier beast tamers can reach a minimum of 1 trillion kilometers and a maximum of 100 trillion kilometers."

Father Li clicked his tongue in amazement: "Only an eighth-tier beast could open a spatial tunnel to travel directly from Xuanxiao Star to Yuandu. If it were a seventh-tier beast, it would have to open at least sixty tunnels to get all the way from Xuanxiao Star to Yuandu."

Li Lang was shocked: "Such a long distance, is it only possible to reach it by relying on seventh-tier or even eighth-tier beast taming to open a spatial tunnel? Without the power of seventh-tier or eighth-tier beast taming, wouldn't it be very difficult to cross such a long distance from Xuanxiao Star to Yuandu?"

"To undertake long-distance interstellar travel, having a powerful tamed beast is the best choice. If you don't have a tamed beast of the seventh rank or above, you should at least have a tamed beast of the sixth rank or above. For example, when my parents and I first came to Xuanxiao Star, we were brought here by a tamed beast of the sixth rank that the family arranged for my father to accompany us."

Zhou Heng explained, "You've seen this sixth-tier beast before. It's the Howling Wave Dragon-Patterned Clam that killed Liu Hao and the Qingyang Society's deacons. It has reached the tenth level of the sixth tier and has a special talent. Each of its spatial leaps can traverse a distance of millions of kilometers, and its endurance is excellent. Even when using such a drastically energy-consuming ability as spatial leaps, it basically doesn't need to rest. When we came to Xuanxiao Star from Yuandu five years ago, it only took us seven or eight days."

Li Lang then asked, "But there are only a little over 30,000 sixth-tier commander-level beast tamers in the alliance. Even if we include the sixth-tier beasts left behind by some sixth-tier commander-level beast tamers who died of natural causes, the number wouldn't be that many. Not everyone has a sixth-tier beast to carry them through spatial jumps. Does that mean lower-tier beast tamers are destined to be trapped on their own planets for life?"

"Of course not. Besides using powerful beast tamers to teleport or open space tunnels, one can also travel long distances in interstellar space by riding high-level starships or using some special magical artifacts."

Father Zhou explained with a smile: "In fact, starships are also magical artifacts in essence. High-level magical artifacts can also perform spatial leaps and even open up spatial tunnels. However, these kinds of magical artifacts can only be effective in the hands of powerful beast tamers, or they require a large amount of crystal cores or energy."

Li Lang suddenly realized: "I understand now, thank you Uncle Ting for clearing up my confusion."

Mr. Zhou liked the polite younger generation: "You're too polite, child. These are just common sense things."

Li Lang quickly replied, "This is common knowledge for Uncle Ting, but if Uncle Ting hadn't told me, I wouldn't know it now!"

Zhou's father laughed heartily: "Brother Li definitely knows these things too. Even if I don't tell you, you can ask Brother Li, it'll be the same."

Mr. Li chimed in, "I do know about these things, but I'm usually too busy at the company to teach my son these things, and they're not taught in school either. I didn't expect Brother Zhou to explain it to him today; it's a real boon for the kid."
