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

Li Lang put away the communicator and said with a smile, "When Teacher Zhang Peng sees your three tamed beasts in class the day after tomorrow, he'll praise you again."

Zhou Heng casually remarked, "Teacher Zhang Peng will also praise you."

Li Lang shrugged: "Your and my status in the eyes of many teachers are different. At most, I am cultivated as a potential candidate for the top tier of universities, while you are cultivated as a potential candidate for the top scorer in the college entrance examination."

Zhou Heng was very self-aware: "I was just lucky, born into a good family, and had a good talent. You work much harder than me."

Li Lang said sincerely, "To be honest, I admire you, but I'm not jealous of you. In fact, I hope you can become more and more successful, so that I can benefit more from your success."

Zhou Heng solemnly promised, "Don't worry, I will be your biggest support in the future."

Li Lang was overjoyed: "If you say so, I'll be waiting for it."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

……

Classes officially started at No. 3 Middle School on Tuesday.

Zhou Heng and Li Lang arrived at the combat training hall together, where Gao Wenwu, He Hongmei, and Chen Hui had also arrived.

They greeted each other, and soon it was time for class.

Zhang Peng and his tamed beast, the Silver Serpent of the Void, appeared before the crowd accompanied by a silver array: "Students, a winter break has passed. Did you miss your teachers?"

Everyone said in unison, "We miss our teacher very much."

"Your teachers miss you all very much."

Zhang Peng smiled, then said solemnly, "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. It's been so long since we last met. I wonder if you've made any progress?"

A purple light shone between Zhou Heng's brows, and the 58-meter-tall Phoenix Azure Luan, the 80-meter-tall Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea, and the 66-meter-tall Eternal Night Demon Dragon appeared before everyone at the same time.

The bodies of the three giant beasts filled the training hall; if the hall weren't spacious enough, it wouldn't have been able to contain them.

"Third tier, eighth level!"

Zhang Peng was both surprised and delighted: "Only two months have passed, and they've all been promoted another level!"

Li Lang looked at it as a matter of course: "Teacher, isn't this normal? Aheng's talent is obvious, and his beast-taming skills far surpass ours."

Zhang Peng frowned deeply: "The Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon are one thing, after all, they are mid-level overlord-quality beasts. How come the Phoenix Azure Luan has also improved so quickly? Are beasts that have shown signs of autonomous evolution really that powerful?"

Li Lang didn't take Zhang Peng's words to heart: "Aheng comes from an ancient family with thousands of years of history. If their family didn't have some skills in raising and controlling beasts, how could they possibly be one of the twelve major families in the East?"

You have a point.

Zhang Peng didn't think much of it, and his face lit up with joy: "It seems our No. 3 Middle School really will produce a top scorer in the college entrance examination the year after next!"

Zhou Heng stood tall and composed: "Thank you for the praise, teacher. I will work even harder."

Zhang Peng looked at Zhou Heng with great satisfaction: "Your teacher has seen all your hard work. Don't overwork yourself, and don't put too much pressure on your three contract partners. You are already excellent enough."

Zhou Heng nodded: "I understand what you mean, teacher. I will do what I can."

Zhang Peng then asked, "Li Lang, has your Ice Bear King improved?"

A blue light emanated from Li Lang's brow, and he immediately summoned the Frost Bear King: "Teacher, my little ice bear is now at the second tier, ninth level."

Zhang Peng looked the Frost Bear King over and said, "Very good. You really worked hard this winter break."

Li Lang was extremely proud: "Of course, even when I'm not at school, I don't let my guard down."

Zhang Peng said patiently, "Keep up the good work! I have high hopes for you."

Li Lang said confidently, "Thank you, teacher."

Subsequently, Chen Hui also summoned his tamed beast, the Azure Demon Tiger, from his taming space.

The Azure Demon Tiger had actually reached the fourth level of the second tier.

Zhang Peng was quite surprised: "Chen Hui, I remember during the end-of-term grade competition last semester, the Azure Demon Tiger was only at the second level of the second tier. Over the winter break, it skipped two levels, which is much faster than you've always been. How did you train the Azure Demon Tiger? Can you tell us your secrets?"

Chen Hui explained, "Da Hu was already at the peak of the second level of the second tier, just a hair's breadth away from reaching the third level of the second tier. Not long after the winter break, Da Hu advanced to the third level of the second tier. Then my parents used their savings to buy a lot of resources and fed them to Da Hu, which allowed him to advance to the fourth level of the second tier."

Zhang Peng nodded: "I see. Your parents are willing to spend a lot of money on you, which shows their thoughtfulness."

Gao Wenwu then summoned his tamed beast, the Black Fiend Wolf.

The Black Fiend Wolf, a high-grade silver-quality beast, has now reached the sixth level of the second tier.

Although Gao Wenwu's beast-taming talent is an A-level high-speed growth, he abandoned direct combat and focused on accelerating the growth of his beast-taming skills.

But it's scary enough.

After all, Gao Wenwu's beast-taming quality is not high. If Gao Wenwu's beast-taming quality were higher, he would probably catch up with Li Lang directly.

Zhang Peng asked again, "Gao Wenwu, why has your Black Fiend Wolf also improved so quickly?"

Gao Wenwu shed some of his shyness and gained a more composed demeanor: "It's all thanks to Teacher Chen's son who guided me through the training and gave me a lot of resources that I was able to advance Black Wolf two levels during this winter break."

Zhang Peng encouraged him, "You are fantastic. Although you are not the most outstanding student I have ever taught, you have the most potential. I believe your future achievements will be remarkable."

Gao Wenwu said resolutely, "Thank you for your encouragement, teacher. I will follow the example of Zhou Heng and Li Lang!"

Then, He Hongmei summoned her Stone Ox.

After a summer vacation, the Savage Stone Bull also advanced from Tier 2 Level 1 to Tier 2 Level 2.

This speed is nothing special.

Zhang Peng glanced at He Hongmei but said nothing more.

He neither praised nor criticized.

Because he knows that many things are influenced by nature, praise is useless, and criticism is useless.

High school students in the interstellar era are already eighteen years old, some even nineteen, and are already adults. There's no need to say much more about them.

Zhang Peng then spoke up: "According to the rules, we need to conduct a new monthly ranking of the Rocket Class! Based on the ranking, Zhou Heng is first, Li Lang is second, Gao Wenwu is third, Chen Hui is fourth, and He Hongmei is fifth. If you are not satisfied with your ranking, you can issue a challenge yourself."

Of the five, only Chen Hui was dissatisfied with his ranking and chose to challenge Gao Wenwu.

Although Gao Wenwu's Black Fiend Wolf is at the second tier, sixth level, his beast-taming talent lacks the ability to fight head-on, and the quality of the Black Fiend Wolf is lower than that of the Azure Demon Tiger.

Ultimately, relying on the self-taught skill Black Fiend Clone, he managed to hold out for more than half an hour, but still lost to the second-tier, fourth-level Azure Demon Tiger.

The two players' rankings were subsequently switched.
