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

Even the old patriarch of the Zhou family couldn't help but look at Zhou Heng in a different light.

He teased, "Heng'er, you have such a sweet tongue. You must have your dad and mom completely charmed by you, right?"

Zhou Heng, however, said earnestly, "It's not that I'm sweet-talking, it's just that every time I come back and see my grandparents, I'm especially happy, and every word I say is full of sincerity."

The old patriarch Zhou was overjoyed: "Good child, it's no wonder your grandmother and I have loved you so much all these years."

Zhou Heng then asked, "How come Grandpa and Grandma have become so young? They've gone from middle-aged to young adults all of a sudden, looking like they're only twenty years old."

The old patriarch of the Zhou family laughed heartily: "Haha! After we became seventh-tier feudal beast tamers, we received more feedback from the beasts we tamed, and our lifespan increased from two hundred and forty years to three hundred and sixty years. We were originally only in our nineties, which is equivalent to only one-third of our lives, so we suddenly became much younger. But we won't return to our appearance in our twenties; at most, we'll return to our appearance in our thirties."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but exclaim, "Seeing my grandparents so young for the first time is a little unsettling!"

Madam Zhou smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Has there been a big change?"

Zhou Heng flattered, "I just didn't expect Grandpa to be so handsome and dashing when he was young, and Grandma to be so beautiful when she was young, so I was a little surprised."

The old patriarch Zhou smiled broadly: "You little rascal, you always know how to say these nice things to make us happy."

Zhou Heng said sincerely, "I'm telling the truth."

Madam Zhou was in high spirits: "Alright, alright, we believe you."

The old patriarch of the Zhou family said specifically, "Now that you're back, why don't you stay a few more days? Go back after our conferment ceremony is over."

Mr. Zhou chimed in, "That's what we thought too, and we've already asked for leave for Heng'er."

With a wave of his hand, the head of the Zhou family presented three piles of resources to Zhou's father, mother, and Zhou Heng: "Keep these things; they will be useful to you at this stage."

Old Madam Zhou said earnestly, "Heng'er has great talent, and we absolutely cannot let him lack resources, lest his talent be wasted. Although your talents are not as good as Heng'er's, you two are still A-level talents. If you work hard, you still have a good chance of becoming a sixth-level commander beast tamer in the future. If you are lucky, you also have a slight chance of becoming a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou immediately stored the resources in front of them into their storage treasures: "Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom."

Zhou Heng also stored the resources in front of him into the multi-functional storage watch: "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma."

Then they chatted with the Zhou family patriarch and matriarch for a while before leaving and returning to their residence on Dragon Phoenix Island.

……

That evening, the head of the Zhou family sent a servant to invite Zhou Heng, his father, and his mother over, saying that they would be holding a small family banquet before the ceremony to confer the title of marquis.

When Zhou Heng arrived, he discovered that in addition to the old patriarch and matriarch, many of his uncles and aunts, as well as their spouses and children, had also come.

Zhou Heng's grandparents had more than twenty children, and most of them also had many children.

Therefore, the total number of the three generations of the family exceeds two hundred.

In fact, although Zhou Heng is only nineteen years old, he already has many nephews, nieces, and even grand-nephews and grand-nieces.

Because Zhou Heng's eldest cousin is already over fifty years old this year, and he already had a grandson a couple of years ago.

However, those who were of lower generation and belonged to the direct bloodline of Zhou Heng's grandfather were still young and were not invited to the banquet today, otherwise it would have been even more lively.

Since seats had already been set up in the courtyard, everyone exchanged pleasantries and then took their seats.

The Zhou family patriarch and his wife sat at the head of the table.

Closest to them on the right is Zhou Heng's fourth uncle, the current head of the Zhou family, and a sixth-tier commander beast tamer with S-level talent.

Next to my fourth uncle is his wife, my fourth aunt, who is the mistress of the family.

The person closest to them on the left is Zhou Heng's tenth uncle, the head of the ten great clan elders of the Zhou family.

Aside from Ancestor Wanbao, Tenth Uncle is the only Beast Tamer in the Zhou family with SS-level talent, and he has already reached the peak of the sixth-order commander at a young age.

Next to my tenth uncle was his wife, my tenth aunt.

Aunt Shi is also a sixth-tier commander-level peak beast tamer, one of the ten clan elders, ranking fourth in overall strength, and is known as the Fourth Clan Elder.

Then it was Zhou Heng's turn and that of his cousin, who also had an S-level talent.

Zhou Heng has more than one hundred cousins ​​and more than one hundred female cousins.

Among so many people, besides Zhou Heng, there is only one S-level talent.

He is Zhou Heng's second uncle's son, named Zhou Yuming. He is thirty years older than Zhou Heng, and is forty-nine years old this year. His strongest beast tamer has reached the peak of the fifth rank.

Although Zhou Heng's second uncle was an ordinary person without any talent, he had a son with an S-level talent, so he also had a high status in the family.

He and his second aunt were sitting with Zhou Heng's parents.

The remaining people, whose highest talent level was only A, were ranked according to their talent, level, and seniority.

Among Zhou Heng's grandfather's more than two hundred grandchildren, only two have S-level talents, which is actually considered lucky.

On the contrary, it was incredibly lucky that one of Grandpa Zhou Heng's more than twenty children had an S-level talent and another had an SS-level talent.

Although on the surface it seems that Zhou Heng's grandfather's lineage is declining with each generation, Zhou Heng's grandparents have already been listed among the marquises, and Zhou Heng's fourth uncle has contracted with the Overlord Beast Tamer, so he will definitely be able to advance to the seventh-level Marquis Beast Tamer in the future.

As for Zhou Heng's tenth uncle, as an SS-level talent holder, with the Zhou family's abundant resources, he will definitely be able to succeed Wanbao Ancestor and advance to the eighth-tier Monarch Beastmaster.

With the addition of his cousin Yu Ming, Zhou Heng's lineage can maintain prosperity for at least five hundred years, during which time many exceptionally talented descendants will surely emerge.

Not to mention that Zhou Heng possesses the Spirit Source Pearl, making it easy for him to be enfeoffed as a marquis or king, and he even has a chance to become emperor.

The lineage of Grandpa Zhou Heng, and the entire Zhou family, will become increasingly prosperous in the future.

After the banquet began, the Zhou family patriarch and matriarch gave a speech as is customary, and everyone echoed their sentiments, occasionally offering auspicious words, filling the room with laughter and joy.

Various delicious dishes were served up by the servants like a flowing stream.

While enjoying the food, Zhou Heng chatted with his cousin, who also possessed an S-level talent.

Yu Ming, Yu Heng's cousin, casually asked, "Yu Heng, which university do you want to go to in the future?"

Zhou Heng answered truthfully, "I haven't decided yet."

Yu Mingtang said meaningfully, "Actually, for talents like ours, there are only two universities to choose from: Yao Ri and Han Yue. Other universities are not worthy of our status."
