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

It was early May, another Tuesday. During the practical class, Zhang Peng checked everyone's progress in beast taming, and the Rocket Class also had to conduct a new month's ranking.

The seven auditors could only listen in from one side, so they did not participate in the ranking and could not receive the monthly bonuses from the Rocket Class.

Zhang Peng completely ignored them.

Of the remaining five, Li Lang, Chen Hui, and He Hongmei's levels remained unchanged; their beast taming levels were still Tier 2, Level 9, Tier 2, Level 4, and Tier 2, respectively.

Gao Wenwu, thanks to his unique talent and hard work, actually advanced one level just two days ago, reaching the seventh level of the second tier.

Zhang Peng immediately smiled and praised Gao Wenwu a few times.

Zhang Peng then looked at Zhou Heng, but he didn't think that Zhou Heng's beast taming would have a significant change in level.

After all, the difficulty of advancing one level at the third tier is completely different from that of advancing one level at the second tier.

In particular, Zhou Heng's beast taming has reached the late stage of the third tier. Even during the college entrance examination, not many students in the top-tier classes could reach this level.

A purple light emanated from between Zhou Heng's brows, and he summoned the Phoenix Azure Phoenix, a third-tier, ninth-level beast, directly from his beast-taming space.

"Hey!"

The phoenix and the blue luan sang a long cry, which invigorated everyone.

Its 64-meter-tall body already possessed an imposing presence that blotted out the sky, drawing everyone's attention.

Gao Wenwu's eyes widened: "This aura?"

Chen Hui exclaimed, "Young Master Zhou's initial beast has become even stronger!"

Li Lang beamed, "Ah Heng is truly amazing!"

Everyone else was completely taken aback: "Third Rank, Ninth Level! How could it be so fast?"

The phoenix and the blue phoenix circled once in the combat training hall.

Fortunately, the training hall of No. 3 Middle School has a large space, otherwise it would be impossible to perform well.

Zhang Peng praised, "Zhou Heng, your progress is truly remarkable! Only two months have passed, and your Phoenix Soaring Azure Phoenix has advanced another level. At this rate, you'll definitely advance to the fourth rank in your second year of high school. With further consolidation in your third year, you'll be the undisputed champion of the Eastern Alliance!"

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, teacher."

Zhang Peng then asked, "Have your second and third Beast Tamers also reached the ninth level of the third tier?"

Zhou Heng replied, "They have already reached the peak of the eighth level of the third tier, and should also reach the ninth level of the third tier this month."

Zhang Peng looked surprised: "Your Phoenix Azure Phoenix is ​​only of high-level diamond quality. Even if it shows signs of autonomous evolution, it's only comparable to a low-level overlord-quality beast. How could its advancement speed surpass that of the mid-level overlords, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon?"

Zhou Heng casually replied, "Because I gave it special treatment."

Zhang Peng was skeptical: "Special treatment?"

Zhou Heng said calmly, "The main thing is that we've tilted some resources toward Fengyi and Qingluan."

Zhang Peng's mind raced, and after some thought, he ultimately decided against pressing Zhou Heng's position and didn't press the matter further.

Zhou Heng's special treatment refers to using all the energy points accumulated in the Spirit Source Pearl on Feng Yi Qing Luan.

The energy points within the Spirit Source Pearl also belong to resources.

As for how Zhang Peng interprets it, that's his business.

Zhou Heng wasn't lying.

Soon, the morning classes ended, and Zhang Peng left the combat training hall with a flash of silver light beneath his feet.

……

Principal's Office.

Zhang Peng walked in: "Principal, Zhou Heng's Phoenix Azure Phoenix has advanced to the ninth level of the third tier! Although he was the first to contract the Phoenix Azure Phoenix, it was only a month earlier. This time difference is easily overcome by a mid-level overlord beast tamer. So under normal circumstances, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon should have been the first to advance to the ninth level of the third tier, but now it's the other way around. This is not right."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School said expressionlessly, "It must be that Zhou Heng gave Fengyi Qingluan special treatment, feeding her all the resources. Moreover, Fengyi Qingluan has shown signs of autonomous evolution. She is not an ordinary diamond beast, so it is normal for her to have some special characteristics."

Zhang Peng, oblivious to the change in the Third Middle School principal's expression, continued talking to himself: "The difference between Diamond quality and Overlord quality is obvious. Moreover, even if the Phoenix Azure Phoenix shows signs of autonomous evolution, it will at most be comparable to a lower-level Overlord quality beast. The Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon are both mid-level Overlord quality, far superior to lower-level Overlord quality. Even if Zhou Heng gives all the resources to the Phoenix Azure Phoenix, under normal circumstances, the Phoenix Azure Phoenix cannot possibly surpass the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon in terms of level."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School's face turned cold: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Zhang Peng said in a low voice, "Among the three beasts contracted by the same person, the diamond-quality beast's improvement speed actually exceeded that of the other two overlord-quality beasts. This is very strange. I always feel that Zhou Heng has some secrets that we don't know about."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School scoffed, "You think I can't see it just because you can?"

Zhang Peng, puzzled, asked, "What do you mean?"

The principal of No. 3 Middle School was furious and shouted, "Old Zhang, do you think Zhou Heng is one of those students from poor families? I advise you to put away your petty thoughts, be a good vice principal, and teach the first-year elite class properly! Even if you are a fifth-level warrior beast tamer, a big shot in the entire Xuanxiao Star, you don't even need your elders to lift a finger against a young master like Zhou Heng from a large family. Just those two peak warrior guards by his side are enough to crush you! So I solemnly warn you here, don't have any improper thoughts."

Zhang Peng trembled and quickly forced a smile, explaining, "Principal, you've misunderstood. Zhou Heng is my student. I have absolutely no intention of harming him. I was just a little curious. Even setting aside his aristocratic background, Zhou Heng is a very likable child."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School sighed: "Curiosity killed the cat! No matter how curious you are, there are some things you shouldn't say out loud. You just need to know that the capabilities of large aristocratic families are beyond our imagination. Perhaps the reason why Zhou Heng's Phoenix Azure Luan is improving faster than his other two tamed beasts is because it is using some special power within the aristocratic family."

"I understand what the principal means. Thank you for your guidance." Zhang Peng put aside all distracting thoughts and respectfully left the principal's office.

After Zhang Peng left the principal's office, a pair of dragon eyes hidden in the void slowly sank into the depths of the void, and the principal of No. 3 Middle School did not notice anything amiss.

The first beast of the Ancestor Wanbao, the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon, has been stationed in the Canglan Plane for many years, while his second beast has always been hidden by Zhou Heng's side to protect him.

Everything around Zhou Heng, no matter how small, could escape the perception of the second beast controlled by the Ancestor Wanbao.

To the patriarch Wanbao, Zhou Heng was not just an ordinary descendant with S-level talent, but a chosen one who could lead the Zhou family to the pinnacle, and absolutely could not afford the slightest mistake.

Fortunately, the principal of No. 3 Middle School was clear-headed and stopped Zhang Peng, whose curiosity was too strong, from continuing to let his thoughts wander. He also dispelled Zhang Peng's idea of ​​further exploring the secrets of Zhou Heng.

Otherwise, in order to protect Zhou Heng, the second beast of the Wanbao Ancestor would not mind using some extraordinary means to eliminate potential hidden dangers.
