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

Gu Yixuan clearly hadn't expected this scenario. He could only command the Heavenly Fire Demon Scorpion to use its Heavenly Fire clones to transform into five fire scorpions to evade the next attack from the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon.

However, the Silver Dragon of the Overturning Sea opened its mouth and spat out a blinding silver lightning bolt, which struck one of the fire scorpions hard. The other four clones suddenly disappeared, revealing the charred Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion's true form.

The skill "Spitting Thunder" is not only extremely powerful in single-target damage, but also has the ability to track enemies, perfectly countering all kinds of clone skills.

Having been hit by two powerful attacks from the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion was severely injured and had no strength left to fight.

Gu Yixuan stared blankly at the scene, his mind reeling.

Seeing that the Silver Dragon of the Sea had used the Water Dragon Clone skill, it had already summoned nine water dragons, each eighty meters long.

Zhou Heng quickly called out, "Feihong, stop for a moment."

"Ugh~~"

Although the Silver Dragon of the Overturning Sea was puzzled, it still withdrew its skills.

This attack will definitely kill the already severely injured Heavenly Fire Demon Scorpion.

It was just a friendly match, and Zhou Heng dared not let it continue to fight.

Gu Yixuan on the other side also realized what had happened, his expression extremely dejected: "Junior, I've lost again."

As Gu Yixuan conceded defeat, the Soul-Controlling Flower Spirit beside the principal of No. 3 Middle School reappeared on the arena.

A pink light with powerful healing energy shone down, and the Heavenly Fire Demon Scorpion, whose carapace was damaged and whose body was charred, gradually recovered.

Zhou Heng first took out a third-tier spirit fruit and fed it to the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon as a reward for winning.

Then he came to Gu Yixuan's side and asked in confusion, "Why did you freeze up during the battle, senior?"

Gu Yixuan revealed a bitter smile: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a big difference between a high-level diamond-quality beast and a mid-level overlord-quality beast. My Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion is clearly two levels higher than your Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, but it couldn't even last three moves against the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon. It really caught me off guard, so I was stunned."

Zhou Heng comforted him, "Senior, you're already very impressive."

Gu Yixuan was deeply shocked: "In the eyes of ordinary people, I am indeed very good, but compared to a peerless genius like you, I am still far behind. I once participated in the East Asia Youth Beast Taming Team Friendship League. At that time, I led the team as the captain. I encountered genius teams from the four core planets. The captains of these four teams all had contracted beasts of lower-level overlord quality. Although my strength is far inferior to theirs, I can still hold my own against them for a few moves without them using their talents. But now, compared to you, I realize that I am pitifully weak."

Zhou Heng shook his head: "Senior, you can't say that. If my beast-taming quality is the same as yours, I'm definitely no match for you."

Gu Yixuan's tone was low: "Who said that? Aren't your Phoenix Azure Luan and my Heavenly Fire Demon Scorpion of the same quality?"

Zhou Heng explained, "My Phoenix Azure Phoenix has shown signs of autonomous evolution. The object of its evolution is the Rainbow Wing Azure Phoenix, which is of mid-level overlord quality. Although it has not yet fully evolved, its true bloodline level is already no weaker than that of an ordinary lower-level overlord."

Gu Yixuan faced reality: "In short, I am far inferior to you."

Zhou Heng comforted Gu Yixuan from a different angle: "Senior is indeed not as good as me, but that's only because I was born into a better family. In other aspects, I may not be as good as you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yixuan sincerely praised, "You are so outstanding among your peers, yet you are still so humble and polite. It is clear that you are not just a person with a good family background. You are an outstanding young talent in every aspect."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School stepped forward: "Alright, you two stop praising each other! You are both my most outstanding students."

Gu Yixuan had a good mindset. After a short period of self-regulation, he stopped feeling sorry for himself and instead regained his optimistic and positive demeanor.

He joked, "Is the principal annoyed by our nagging?"

Seeing this, the principal of No. 3 Middle School felt much relieved: "What I was thinking was, Zhou Heng still has a beast taming ability. Would you like to have another competition?"

Gu Yixuan looked serious: "I said I would spar with all of my junior's beasts, so I will keep my word. Moreover, being able to fight against two mid-level overlord-quality beasts to hone my skills is a rare opportunity that I never dared to dream of before."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School gave an encouraging smile: "Yixuan, I am very pleased that you have this idea! In fact, you are already very outstanding. However, among Zhou Heng's three beasts, the Phoenix Azure Phoenix's true combat power is comparable to a peak third-tier beast, and the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon has even reached the fourth-tier combat power. As for the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, I guess it should be about the same."

Zhou Heng's eyes flickered: "Fourth-tier combat power?"

The principal of No. 3 Middle School nodded emphatically: "That's right, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon's various skills are simply too powerful. Its combat strength is already equivalent to some ordinary fourth-tier beasts. If a high-grade silver-quality beast were to enter its ultimate form and break through to the fourth tier, it probably still wouldn't be a match for the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon. Only a gold-quality beast that has entered its mature form and broken through to the fourth tier, relying on its domain ability, could put up a fight against the current Overturning Sea Silver Dragon. If it were a diamond-quality fourth-tier beast, there would be hope of defeating the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon."

Zhou Heng said calmly, "It seems that my Fei Hong's combat strength is not too outrageous."

Gu Yixuan exclaimed, "Isn't this outrageous enough? The difference between the peak of the third tier and the early stage of the fourth tier seems to be only one level, but in reality, there is a world of difference. Many beast tamers can challenge the early stage of the third tier at the peak of the second tier, but very few can challenge the early stage of the fourth tier at the peak of the third tier. This is because once a beast tamers enter the fourth tier, they can gain domain abilities, greatly increasing their combat power. At the same time, beast tamers below the fourth tier will be greatly suppressed and will hardly be able to put up a fight. Not to mention that your beast tamer is not even at the peak of the third tier, only at the late stage of the third tier, yet it already possesses the combat power of the fourth tier. This is simply terrifying! It can only be said that a mid-level overlord is indeed worthy of being called a mid-level overlord; it is simply impossible for anyone below the overlord level to shake it."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School strongly agreed: "Yixuan is right! The difference between the tenth level of the third rank and the first level of the fourth rank may seem to be only one rank or one minor realm, but in reality, there is at least a difference of ten minor realms, which is greater than the difference between the first level of the third rank and the tenth level of the third rank."

Zhou Heng suddenly realized: "No wonder everyone says that the transition from the peak of the third rank to the early stage of the fourth rank is a hurdle."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School continued, "Dominator-quality beasts are not subject to this hurdle. For example, your Overturning Sea Silver Dragon is only at the eighth level of the third tier, not even at the tenth level of the third tier, yet it already possesses the combat power of the fourth tier. However, below the Dominator quality, even a Diamond-quality third-tier tenth-level beast will definitely not fare well against a Silver-quality fourth-tier first-level beast."
