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

Zhou Hongyu, her cousin, shook her head and explained, "Yuandu Key High School doesn't admit many students each year, and there are many other Beast Taming High Schools in Yuandu. But top high schools have special privileges and can use various means to recruit geniuses from other schools. Several students who awakened S-level talents at other high schools were poached by Yuandu Key Beast Taming High School."

Zhou Heng comforted them, saying, "Actually, the difference between the intensive class and the advanced class isn't that big. Besides, you all have the talent to get into university. It won't change just because you're in a different class."

Zhou Yongchuan, a descendant of the same clan, nodded: "What my great-uncle said makes sense."

Zhou Heng's cousin Zhou Honglie and cousin Zhou Hongyu neither confirmed nor denied the matter, but neither directly refuted Zhou Heng's words.

Although Zhou Heng was the same age as them, he was an elder, and his talent was better than theirs, so his status was far beyond their reach.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the entrance to the Azure Netherworld.

The five people jumped off the Phoenix and Azure Luan, and then each took out a blue jade talisman.

With the infusion of energy, the jade talisman emitted a blue light and flew up from the hands of the five people. After spinning in mid-air, it quickly formed a blue portal.

"The Azure Netherworld is divided into three levels. The deeper you go, the stronger the extraordinary creatures become, but the more treasures you find there are also."

Zhou Honglie, the cousin, was the first to suggest, "The first floor is full of first-tier extraordinary creatures. Uncle's beast taming is already at the seventh level of the third tier, my cousin Huiyu and I are at the tenth level of the second tier, my nephew Yongchuan's beast taming is at the ninth level of the second tier, and Li Lang's beast taming is at the eighth level of the second tier, so let's go straight to the second floor!"

"No problem!" Everyone nodded and stepped into the blue portal one by one.

Zhou Heng felt a sudden dizziness, and when he regained his footing, he found himself in a strange world.

The sky was a bluish-green, without sun or moon, yet it emitted a soft glow on its own.

In the distance, mountains rise and fall; nearby, vegetation is lush and green; and the air is filled with a rich energy.

Li Lang took a deep breath: "The energy concentration here isn't particularly high, but it's exceptionally pure. If beasts stay here for a long time, their growth rate will also increase."

Zhou Honglie chuckled, "This is only the outer edge of the second level! Let's head straight deeper in; I'll lead the way."

Over the next three days, the five of them faced various challenges in the secret realm.

This includes, but is not limited to, battling extraordinary creatures, deciphering ancient mechanisms, and searching for hidden elixirs and various treasures.

Zhou Heng and Li Lang, among others, worked together seamlessly and achieved great success.

Zhou Heng, along with the Phoenix Azure Phoenix, the Overturning Silver Dragon, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, killed the five strongest third-tier peak extraordinary creatures in the secret realm.

The remaining few also found many spiritual items in the secret realm.

Li Lang even discovered a low-grade fourth-order spiritual flower in a cave, which was originally a perk given to the younger generation by the Zhou family.

Three days later, when the exit reopened, the five returned laden with their loot.

"It seems you've had a good harvest." Mr. and Mrs. Zhou's gaze swept over everyone, and they nodded in satisfaction.

Zhou Heng went to greet them: "Mom and Dad, why did you come to welcome us in person?"

Zhou's mother gently patted Zhou Heng's head, smiling tenderly, "What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Of course."

Afterwards, the others also greeted Zhou's parents.

Zhou Honglie, Zhou Hongyu, and Zhou Yongchuan then parted ways with Zhou Heng and the others.

Zhou Heng returned to Bixi Island with his parents and Li Lang.

……

After resting for a night, the next day, Zhou Heng's grandparents, along with Zhou's parents, found Zhou Heng and Li Lang.

The old patriarch said to Zhou Heng, "Heng'er, I have arranged everything. You can begin your interstellar travel today."

Zhou Heng beamed with joy: "That's wonderful, thank you Grandpa and Grandma!"

"Let's go! I'll take you somewhere first." Then, Patriarch Zhou summoned the Taixu Suanni, which was several thousand meters in size.

The group rode on the back of the Taixu Suanni, passing through layers of clouds and mist, and arrived at a huge jade plaza deep in the Canglan Plane.

In the center of the square stands a 30,000-meter-long ancient zither, shaped like a mountain range stretching across the land.

This guqin is made entirely of glass, with seven strings that display seven colors.

A colossal beast, 90,000 meters long, rests its head on a giant guqin (a seven-stringed zither), seemingly using it as a pillow.

The behemoth's body resembled a real dragon, covered in golden scales, but it had the head of a bull.

Its body shone brightly, and from time to time, strange phenomena of golden bells and ancient tripods appeared, revealing a unique sense of nobility.

This is a seventh-tier beast.

Qiuniu, the first of the nine sons of the dragon, loves music, is gentle in nature, and knows many mysteries of the universe.

These kinds of tamed beasts, apart from those that evolve later, have a very small chance of being born naturally only when a true dragon is combined with a bull-type tamed beast of overlord quality or even mythical quality.

Sensing the arrival of the Taixu Suanni, Qiuniu, the beast tamer, slowly opened its pair of bright purple eyes, which shone even brighter than the sun and moon, and gazed at the tiny crowd below.

Although the Taixu Suanni is thousands of meters long, it is still no match for this giant beast.

"This...this is..." Li Lang's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

Zhou Heng remained remarkably calm, as he had known since childhood that his family possessed a profound foundation, and he had even personally witnessed the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon at the peak of the eighth rank.

The Zhou family patriarch introduced, "This is a powerful being left behind by the Zhou family's ancestors, a Zhongding Qiuniu of mid-level overlord quality! He has reached the peak of the seventh rank and is named Xiyin. As juniors, we should address him as Ancestor Xiyin."

Zhou Heng inexplicably recalled a line from an ancient book: "The greatest form is formless, the greatest sound is silent."

Everyone immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Ancestor Xiyin!"

"Ugh~"

The bell and tripod, Qiuniu, let out a low murmur, the sound like a symphony of thousands of musical instruments, so beautiful it was intoxicating.

Moreover, the sound was not deafening; on the contrary, it felt like a gentle breeze.

It looked at Zhou Heng with great interest: "Hello, little guys!"

Everyone quickly greeted, "Greetings, Ancestor Xiyin!"

The bell and tripod, Qiuniu, then closed its eyes again.

Li Lang stammered, "Grandpa Zhou, why did you bring us to see Ancestor Xiyin...?"

The old patriarch Zhou explained, "Haven't you always wanted to visit the ancestral star? The ancestral star is extremely far from Yuandu, and it is difficult to reach by ordinary means. Only a seventh-order beast master like Ancestor Xiyin could open up space tunnels along the way to quickly travel through the starry sky with you."

Li Lang then asked, "Grandpa Zhou, where exactly is our ancestral star?"

Zhou Heng began to explain to Li Lang: "Our ancestral planet is what people commonly refer to as the Blue Planet, also known as Earth. The Blue Planet is located at the very center of human power. This planet has a radius of only about six thousand kilometers, making it a very small and inconspicuous planet in the universe, but it is the birthplace of humanity. All humans in the alliance today originated from the Blue Planet, hence the name 'ancestral planet.'"
