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

On the afternoon of Lunar New Year's Eve, Zhou Heng followed his parents to the Zhou family ancestral hall, where he met the ancestor Wanbao and many other direct descendants of the Zhou family.

Under the guidance of the Venerable Wanbao, everyone paid homage to their ancestors and enjoyed a sumptuous feast.

That evening, all of Zhou Heng's grandparents' descendants gathered on Bixi Island, and they stayed up together until the next morning.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is always a lively occasion.

The banquet continued until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

During this time, Zhou's parents also took Zhou Heng back to the Jinwu Li family home to meet his maternal grandparents.

Even the largest families at the top of the alliance pyramid have the custom of visiting relatives during the Lunar New Year.

As time went by, the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year gradually dissipated.

Zhou's father and mother were astonished to discover that the Phoenix Azure Phoenix's level actually surpassed that of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon.

Zhou's mother frowned deeply: "My dear son, how exactly did you raise Jiuxiao? Logically speaking, Jiuxiao's advancement speed should not exceed that of Feihong and Tyrant."

Zhou Heng casually remarked, "It's probably because Jiuxiao has shown signs of autonomous evolution, and it can no longer be regarded as an ordinary high-level diamond-quality beast."

Father Zhou analyzed rationally: "Even so, this doesn't seem quite right. After all, even if Jiuxiao successfully evolves into the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, he will only be a mid-level overlord, comparable to Feihong and Tyrant. But Feihong and Tyrant are already mid-level overlords. Did you give Jiuxiao special treatment? Did you allocate an extra amount of resources to him?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "That's true to some extent."

Father Zhou frowned: "This still doesn't make sense. If you had given the resources that should have been allocated to Fei Hong and Tyrant to Jiu Xiao, Fei Hong and Tyrant's advancement speed should have been slowed down. However, their advancement speed is not significantly different from that of a mid-level overlord beast tamer with a large amount of resources."

Zhou's mother gently placed her hand on Zhou Heng's shoulder: "My dear son, can you explain to us what exactly happened?"

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and said to the two of them, "Dad, Mom, this involves a secret."

Zhou's father asked solemnly, "What secret? Can you tell us?"

Zhou Heng didn't answer directly, only saying, "I want to tell you later, to give you a surprise, is that okay?"

Zhou's mother grew increasingly curious: "What surprise is it?"

Zhou Heng said in a spoiled tone, "Dad, Mom, the surprise is something we can't tell you yet. You'll find out when the time comes."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou exchanged a glance: "Since you've said that, we won't ask any more questions."

Although Zhou Heng had already made up his mind to use the Spirit Source Pearl to enhance the bloodline and level of his beast taming abilities, and to present himself as a peerless genius who had awakened a second talent, he was not in a hurry.

Because things will work out better if we wait.

If he were to directly claim that he is an awakener of the second talent, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

It would be better to let everyone speculate about how he managed to level up his beast taming skill so quickly, and then reveal that he had awakened his second talent.

In this way, everyone would feel that everything has a reasonable explanation.

As for why he didn't mention it before, it could be said that he hadn't fully adapted to his second talent yet.

……

Wanbaodian (Hall of Ten Thousand Treasures)

The Zhou family patriarch, Wanbao Wang, sat atop a crimson coral, with Zhou Heng's grandfather standing below him.

The old patriarch Zhou respectfully reported, "Ancestor, Heng'er's beast-taming level advancement speed is abnormal. Should we investigate it secretly?"

Ancestor Wanbao shook his head: "No need. Heng'er does indeed have a secret, but he is your grandson and my direct descendant. As long as this secret doesn't affect the Zhou family's lineage, we can pretend we don't know anything to avoid making things worse. After all, this secret is currently beneficial to Heng'er. If it benefits Heng'er, it will naturally benefit the family. A family needs people to carry on the family line. In two or three hundred years, my position will be taken over by Heng'er."

The old patriarch Zhou continued, "What the ancestor said makes sense. I'm just worried that if others discover Heng'er's secret, it will be detrimental to him."

Ancestor Wanbao remained calm and composed: "Heng'er isn't some poor peasant. Even if someone discovers his secret, who would dare to lay a hand on him? If anyone is truly courting death, I will turn the East Alliance upside down and slaughter them until the blood flows like a river! I will make the world remember the might of King Wanbao! Moreover, not only me, but even Ancestor Creation will not allow anything to happen to Heng'er."

Ever since learning that Zhou Heng would lead the Zhou family to its peak, Ancestor Wanbao sent out another of his tamed beasts to hide by Zhou Heng's side and secretly protect him.

The old patriarch Zhou was greatly surprised: "Heng'er has actually caught the eye of the Creation Ancestor?"

Ancestor Wanbao didn't even lift his eyelids: "There are some things you don't need to find out too much about."

The old patriarch of the Zhou family lowered his head and said, "I understand what the ancestor means."

The old master Wanbao specifically instructed: "You can increase the resources invested in Heng'er even more, provide him with unlimited supplies! Don't let this child have any worries during this most crucial stage, do you understand?"

The old patriarch Zhou bowed and accepted the order: "I will obey the patriarch's command."

……

Before we knew it, it was the first day of the third month in the Gregorian calendar, which is the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar calendar.

This day marks the end of the Lunar New Year celebrations, and everyone eats glutinous rice balls on this day.

After today, the Spring Festival will truly be over.

Zhou Heng's grandmother personally cooked a big pot of glutinous rice balls for everyone.

Besides Zhou Heng and his parents, all the uncles, nephews, and cousins ​​also came, and everyone happily enjoyed a reunion dinner.

Afterwards, they went to the ancestral hall together to pay respects to their ancestors.

When Zhou Heng returned home that evening, he discovered that the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon had quietly advanced to the eighth level of the third tier.

After advancing to the third tier, eighth level, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon's length increased by another ten meters, reaching eighty meters.

It's a complete behemoth.

The next day, Zhou's parents took Zhou Heng to say goodbye to Zhou Heng's grandparents.

After the Lantern Festival, Zhou Heng will have to go back to school, his father will have to go back to work at the Education and Training Department, and his mother will have to handle her work at the Pharmacists Association.

Accompanying the family were two assassins, Feng Zhong and Feng Yong.

When they went to the ancestral star before, the two of them were left behind. Now that Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and Zhou Heng are going back to Xuanxiao Star, the two of them naturally have to continue to stay by Zhou Heng's side to protect his safety.

After leaving the Canglan Plane and passing through the space tunnel, Zhou Heng and his parents found themselves back on the land of Xuanxiao Star as soon as they opened their eyes.

The servants who had been standing guard beside the space tunnel immediately bowed and greeted, "Master, Madam, Young Master."

Soon, the butler also received the news and arrived with a large group of servants to welcome Zhou Heng and his party.
