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

Zhou Heng asked, "Why is that?"

The principal of No. 3 Middle School explained: "Because the gap between Overlord quality and Diamond quality is also insurmountable! Below the Overlord level, no matter what quality, it is not easy to bridge the gap between the third and fourth tiers. But the Overlord is different. It has the potential to advance to the seventh tier, which can bridge the gap between the third and fourth tiers to a certain extent. This is the power of the Overlord."

Gu Yixuan added from the side, "Otherwise, a beast of this quality wouldn't be called a hegemon."

Zhou Heng seemed to understand: "I understand."

Gu Yixuan suddenly asked, "Principal, if I become a fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer, would I have any hope of defeating my junior with a high-grade diamond-quality Heavenly Fire Demon Scorpion?"

The principal of No. 3 Middle School carefully analyzed: "If we consider Zhou Heng's current combat strength, he naturally has a chance to defeat the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon when facing it alone. After all, although the gap between the upper-level diamond and the middle-level overlord is large, the gap between the third and fourth tiers is also large. Moreover, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon is only at the eighth level of the third tier now, and has not yet reached the peak of the third tier, the tenth level."

He paused, then continued, "However, the premise is that Zhou Heng's strength does not continue to improve, and that his three tamed beasts do not attack together, and that he cannot use his talent. Once the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, and the Phoenix Azure Phoenix besiege your Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion, and Zhou Heng uses his talent again, or if Zhou Heng's tamed beasts make another breakthrough, even if the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion breaks through to the fourth rank and its combat power increases greatly, you will probably have a hard time winning."

Gu Yixuan did not show any disappointment. On the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit: "It seems that I need to work harder, otherwise I won't even be able to see my junior's back."

Afterwards, the two rested for a while, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon and the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion also fought a battle.

Following Zhou Heng's instructions, the Eternal Night Demon Dragon immediately unleashed the Great Night Sky-Covering Technique, transforming the entire arena into a dark and gloomy space, shielding the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion from all five senses, and even influencing Gu Yixuan's command of the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion by confusing his mental energy.

In addition, various dark creatures were randomly summoned within the vast expanse of the night. Although Gu Yixuan tried his best to maneuver, the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion was defeated after a short time.

Seeing this, Gu Yixuan decisively chose to concede defeat, leaving the Eternal Night Dragon with no chance to use any other skills.

The Eternal Night Dragon defeated the Heavenly Fire Demon Scorpion with just one skill, but this does not mean that the Eternal Night Dragon is stronger than the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon.

It's just that the Eternal Night Dragon is particularly good at bullying the weak and reaping the spoils of war; anyone whose combat power is inferior to itss will be defeated very quickly.

The Overturning Sea Silver Dragon has the characteristic of becoming stronger the longer it fights; it can maneuver and delay even those with slightly higher combat power.

After the three battles ended, the principal of No. 3 Middle School had the Soul-Sustaining Flower Spirit treat the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion's injuries once again before calling Zhou Heng and Gu Yixuan to his side.

The principal of No. 3 Middle School began, "After these three battles, I have a certain understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. Next, I will formulate a targeted training plan."

Zhou Heng and Gu Yixuan exchanged a glance: "We're really looking forward to it."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School asked first, "Zhou Heng, I observed that in the first battle, you gave Feng Yi Qing Luan relatively few commands in the early stages, and towards the end, you didn't even give any commands, letting Feng Yi Qing Luan do as she pleased. What happened?"

Zhou Heng was puzzled: "I was giving instructions in my mind via telepathy, how did the principal know all this so clearly?"

The principal of No. 3 Middle School smiled and said, "Telepathy is essentially an application of mental power. My mental power is stronger than yours, so I can naturally detect your mental power fluctuations. This is why, during the third battle, after you had the Eternal Night Demon Dragon use the Great Night Sky skill, it affected Yi Xuan's ability to issue commands to the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion to some extent. That's the reason."

Zhou Heng nodded, indicating that he understood, and then began to answer the principal of No. 3 Middle School's previous question: "The reason why I gave Feng Yi Qingluan relatively few commands in the early stages of the battle is that the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion's level is higher than Feng Yi Qingluan's. Without my reminders, Feng Yi Qingluan might have lost her composure, but she only needed a little guidance from me. Giving her too many commands would have made her fighting style rigid, which would not be conducive to her future development."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School listened very attentively.

Zhou Heng continued, "In the later stages of the battle, when Fengyi Qingluan was being pressured, it was even more important for her to act freely. If I kept giving her commands, it would only be counterproductive. As for why I only gave the order to attack freely after I used my talent, it was because during the time my talent was active, Fengyi Qingluan would not suffer any damage and could attack at will. If I continued to give commands, it might slow down her pace and cause her to miss opportunities."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School then asked, "What about the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon? I noticed that you hardly gave them any instructions after they entered the arena."

Zhou Heng was adept at discovering the different characteristics of his tamed beasts: "I didn't give any commands to the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon because it has a unique bloodline inheritance. It is highly intelligent and has an extremely strong combat instinct, so it doesn't need my excessive command. As for the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, I only gave it one command, which was to let it use the Great Night Sky directly, without using any other skills. This is because many of the Eternal Night Demon Dragon's skills are quite ferocious and cruel. It can use these skills freely against enemies, but if it is allowed to use them freely against you, senior, it may cause irreparable damage to your tamed beast. That's why I made it restrain itself a bit."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School praised him highly: "Very good! You give orders when you need to, and you fight back when you need to. You already have the demeanor of a high-level beast tamer."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Principal."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School then revealed a serious expression: "Yixuan, unlike Zhou Heng, you have clearly and explicitly commanded every move of the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion, without giving it any opportunity to act freely."

He reminded him seriously, "You must understand that although beast taming is primarily the domain of the beast tamer, the beasts are not puppets. When beasts are at lower levels, they lack intelligence and do indeed need the beast tamer's command. However, as beasts level up, their intelligence and combat instincts will increase. Sometimes, you only need to give commands at crucial moments. It shouldn't become a matter of the beast tamer giving a command and the beast attacking immediately. That would be too rigid and obviously wouldn't work in actual combat."

Gu Yixuan nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for the reminder, Principal. I will try my best to improve in the subsequent combat training."
