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

Zhou Heng waved his hand: "You're being too modest. We're both from prestigious families; there's not that much of a difference between us."

Wei Qingwen was very clear-headed: "The difference between a great family and a small family is sometimes greater than the difference between a great family and a poor family! A hundred Wei families combined can't compare to your Zhou family."

Zhou Heng smoothly changed the subject: "Did you come to see me today to catch up?"

Wei Qingwen revealed a fawning smile: "I heard that you also awakened an S-level talent, and even the top-tier S-level talent, the Miracle Guardian of the Night God. In addition, the Marquis Fubo and the Marquis Lanyue, who will be holding their conferment ceremony soon, are your grandparents. My elders brought me here to attend the ceremony, so I came here specifically to congratulate you."

Zhou Heng nodded: "Thank you."

Wei Qingwen casually asked, "I heard that Xuanxiao Star, as a first-class planet, only has top-tier beast-taming high schools. Why don't you transfer to one of the top high schools in Yuandu?"

Zhou Heng stood by Golden Wing Lake, gazing at the shimmering surface, his face radiating a calm and confident air of complete control: "For me, there's no difference between a top-tier high school and a first-rate high school. The key resources are things that schools can't provide; they can only be provided by my family. As long as my family is willing to support me, even if I go to a third-rate beast-taming high school, let alone a first-rate one, it won't affect my progress in training beast tamers."

Wei Qingwen nodded: "That's true."

Zhou Heng then asked, "What are your specific talents?"

Wei Qingwen smiled and said, "My talent is called 'The Ends of the Earth Are Within Reach,' you must have heard of it."

The ends of the earth are within reach. Once the talent is activated, you can choose any location within 10,000 kilometers and instantly teleport yourself and your beast there. The cooldown time is related to the distance.

If the maximum distance is 10,000 kilometers, the cooldown time is more than ten days. If it is only a few tens of meters, the cooldown time is usually only a few seconds.

During the duration of the talent, there is a certain degree of immunity to forced immobilization skills.

Zhou Heng praised, "I have indeed heard of this talent! It belongs to the S-rank talents that are very suitable for survival. Most importantly, it can also play a certain role in combat. It's really good."

Wei Qingwen looked on with envy: "It's only really useful for escaping, and it's most effective at lower levels. Once it comes to high-level battles, this talent isn't very useful. Your talent is more suited to head-on combat, and it's even more advantageous at higher levels, since it grants temporary invincibility, allowing you to turn the tide of battle instantly regardless of your level."

Zhou Heng reminded him: "Actually, this talent of yours can also be very effective in battle. Since you can teleport instantly over a distance of 10,000 kilometers, you can use it to send your beasts directly to the enemy's beast tamers and behead them."

Wei Qingwen shook his head: "My talent is quite common among S-rank talents. It has been thoroughly studied by others. As long as the enemy beast tamer wears a few more pieces of protective equipment, they can directly prevent me from using my talent to decapitate. Relatively speaking, it is not as practical as your talent."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng immediately understood the situation.

He said, "We both have great talent, each with our own strengths."

Wei Qingwen flattered, "Your Zhou family has a history of over three thousand years and a profound foundation. I've heard that every direct descendant with S-level talent can receive a beast cub of overlord quality. You should be no exception, right?"

Zhou Heng truthfully replied, "That's right, I have contracted a total of three beasts: one high-level diamond and two mid-level overlords."

Wei Qingwen was taken aback: "Two mid-level overlords?"

Zhou Heng said calmly, "Ancestor Wanbao, Ancestor Linglong, my grandparents, and my maternal grandparents all doted on me. So after I awakened my S-level talent, I first received a high-level diamond-quality beast for free on Xuanxiao Star. After returning to my family, the Zhou family gave me a mid-level overlord, and the Li family also gave me a mid-level overlord."

Wei Qingwen's eyes lit up: "You're so enviable! In our family, only our ancestor's beast was of lower-level overlord quality. At first, this beast was only of upper-level diamond quality. My ancestor went through a lot of hardship to evolve it to overlord quality. Thanks to his good luck, he became a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer and founded a small family. But you were able to contract two mid-level overlord quality beasts from the start. You truly deserve to be the chosen one who carries the bloodline of the Zhou and Li families and serves as the link between them."

Zhou Heng was quite modest: "I was just lucky. Your ancestor was the real genius. He rose from humble beginnings to become a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer and then founded a powerful family, giving his descendants a head start. That's what's truly something to be proud of."

Wei Qingwen sighed repeatedly, "In this respect, the two ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamers in the history of your Zhou and Li families are the most admirable. They left a profound legacy for the Zhou and Li families, which will benefit your descendants."

Zhou Heng said solemnly, "You are right. Without the efforts of our ancestors, including the Creator Ancestor, the Progenitor Ancestor, and all the ancestors, we would not have such good conditions as we do now. So I am always grateful for the contributions of all our ancestors."

Yanqing's ancestor was a ninth-rank Emperor Beast Tamer from the Li family.

Wei Qingwen's eyes were full of longing: "I wish I had such an amazing ancestor."

Zhou Heng encouraged him, saying, "Your ancestor was already very powerful. Instead of envying my ancestors, you should work hard yourself and become a marquis or king in the future. Your descendants will be grateful to you."

Wei Qingwen was very self-aware: "At most, I can only become a sixth-level commander beast tamer and inherit the position of family head. I'm afraid I can't be made a marquis or a king."

Zhou Heng gave several examples: "S-level talent still has a great chance of becoming a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer. My grandparents and maternal grandparents, as well as your Wei family's ancestor, were all S-level talents, weren't they?"

Wei Qingwen's eyes dimmed somewhat: "To become a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer with an S-level talent, one must at least have enough lifespan to contract a beast of overlord quality."

Although Zhou Heng knew that newly emerging small families couldn't easily produce overlord-quality beast cubs, he still asked, "What, you don't have an overlord-quality beast in your harem?"

Wei Qingwen's smile turned bitter: "Overlord-quality tamed beast cubs are extremely rare. Apart from our ancestor, even the current patriarch's tamed beast is only of high-level diamond quality, and I am no exception."

Zhou Heng was somewhat puzzled: "Even if the initial contract was for a high-grade diamond-quality beast, it can still evolve later, right? Why didn't your Wei family patriarch evolve your beast to overlord quality?"

Wei Qingwen sighed deeply: "It's too difficult! The Wei family has collected a lot of resources over the years, and the patriarch tried four times in a row, but all of them failed."
