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

In the combat training room, Ji Chao and the others all gathered around Zhou Heng, trying to curry favor with him and wanting to find out his secrets to raising and controlling beasts.

Zhou Heng naturally wouldn't reveal his secret; he just said a few words to appease everyone.

The seven auditors wanted to ask Zhou Heng more questions, but Li Lang turned them away.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng led Li Lang and two assassins back to the villa, had lunch, and then rested.

……

On Wednesday, Zhou Heng returned to the Changsheng Arena and met Gu Yixuan, a senior in high school.

The principal of No. 3 Middle School still gave them extra tutoring, using the Thunder-patterned Stone Turtle as their sparring partner.

During this time, the two beasts joined forces to attack the principal of the Third Middle School's fourth beast, the Thunder-Patterned Stone Turtle, in order to find its weakness.

Occasionally, the Thunder-Patterned Stone Turtle would attack Zhou Heng and Gu Yixuan's beasts while holding back some of its power. The two beasts used this opportunity to learn how to maneuver and dodge enemy attacks in battle, and to launch counterattacks when the opportunity arose.

After several weeks of intensive training, Zhou Heng and Gu Yixuan have made great progress in their beast taming skills, and their combat awareness has become stronger and stronger.

After the afternoon training session ended, Zhou Heng and Gu Yixuan did not rush back to their dormitories. Instead, they took their respective pets and strolled around a red maple forest behind the school.

Phoenix and Azure Phoenix, along with the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, shrank to the size of a palm and perched on Zhou Heng's shoulders. The Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea shrank to a meter in length and wrapped itself around Zhou Heng's wrist.

Gu Yixuan's Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion also shrank to the size of a palm and perched on Gu Yixuan's shoulder.

Looking at the mountains covered in red leaves, Zhou Heng casually asked, "Senior's Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion should be able to advance to the fourth-tier Beast Taming level soon, right?"

Gu Yixuan smiled knowingly: "To be honest, it'll be soon."

Zhou Heng looked as if he had known this all along: "During the battle today, I noticed a special change in the aura of the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion. It seems he is about to break through."

Gu Yixuan was in a good mood: "You're very observant."

Zhou Heng's face showed longing: "If you break through to the fourth level, the college entrance examination results of No. 3 Middle School this year will definitely be very good."

Gu Yixuan glanced at Zhou Heng and shook his head: "In the end, I can't compare to you. The college entrance examination is coming soon, and I haven't even truly broken through to the fourth rank yet, while you had already cultivated your Beast Taming to the ninth level of the third rank in the second semester of your first year of high school. I am far inferior to you."

Zhou Heng's eyes lit up: "Senior is already very impressive."

Gu Yixuan said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "The only thing I'm glad about is that you're not in the same year as me, otherwise I would have given up hope."

Zhou Heng gazed at the endless maple leaves in the distance: "This year's college entrance examination is the stage for the seniors, but the year after next, it will be my stage."

Gu Yixuan couldn't help but sigh, "Looking back, it's been almost three years since I awakened my talent in my first year of high school. It feels like just yesterday. After nearly three years of hard work, I've finally achieved some results and been able to get into my dream Beast Taming University. I guess I haven't let myself down."

Zhou Heng was also happy for Gu Yixuan: "Congratulations, senior."

As the sun began to set, Zhou Heng and Gu Yixuan returned to school together.

……

The next day, the first, second, and third year high school students held their mid-term competitions on time.

In the senior year of high school, Gu Yixuan, who was about to break through to the fourth level from the peak of the third level, was still the top student in the grade.

Ge Lijuan, who ranked second in the grade, also reached the third level, sixth grade.

There were more than twenty students in total who had reached the third rank, but they were all between the first and fifth levels of the third rank.

The Beast Taming College Entrance Examination in ASEAN today is held at a similar time to the college entrance examination six thousand years ago, both in early June.

With only one month left until the college entrance examination, apart from Gu Yixuan, most of the senior high school students are unlikely to make any further progress.

Of course, at the last moment, there will still be some students at the peak of the second tier who will break through to the third tier at all costs, but their numbers will not be too large.

In other words, about thirty students from No. 3 Middle School are expected to be admitted to universities this year.

In the second year of high school, Fang Yushu, who was ranked first in the grade, was still at the third level of the third stage.

He's second in his grade, yet he's only at the third tier, first level.

After that, no one broke through to the third tier.

In the first year of high school, Zhou Heng's position as the top student in the grade has never been shaken.

Li Lang remains second in the grade.

The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth places remain unchanged, namely Ji Chao, Li Shiliang, Zhang Yunfeng, Chen Hui, Pei Ge, and Nangong Cuiyi.

Of these six, Ji Chao, Li Shiliang, Zhang Yunfeng, and Chen Hui have all reached the peak of the fourth level of the second tier, while Pei Ge and Nangong Cuiyi have just been promoted to the fourth level of the second tier.

Gao Wenwu became the ninth person in the group.

Because Gao Wenwu's Black Fiend Wolf reached the seventh level of the second tier a few days ago.

Although Gao Wenwu's talent is not suited for combat, and the Black Wolf is only of upper-level silver quality, Zou Lei and Yan Shouzhen are currently only at the second-tier third level. Relying on their mid-level gold-quality beast taming and B-grade talent, they cannot directly defeat Gao Wenwu by skipping four levels.

So they became tenth and eleventh place.

He Hongmei remains in 32nd place.

After the grade-level competition ended and everyone received their prizes, Zhou Heng and Li Lang came to Gao Wenwu.

Zhou Heng said sincerely, "Congratulations, Xiao Gao, you've made it into the top ten of your grade."

Li Lang echoed, "Xiao Gao, you've made great progress."

Gao Wenwu said excitedly, "Thank you for your encouragement! If it weren't for your help during my daily training, I wouldn't have been able to cultivate my Battle Spirit to the seventh level of the second tier so quickly."

Zhou Heng said seriously, "This is because your talent enhances the growth of your beast taming ability much more than that of a typical A-level talent. In addition, you work much harder than ordinary students, which is why you have been able to strive all the way up and enter the top ten of the grade. It has nothing to do with us."

Gao Wenwu bowed deeply: "Thank you, Brother Zhou, Brother Li, thank you so much."

Zhou Heng and Li Lang exchanged a smile.

Since it's Thursday, Zhou Heng and Li Lang are going home.

The two did not chat with Gao Wenwu for long before they went to Zhou's father's side, sat on the back of the Frost Blue Crane King, and left the Changsheng Arena.

……

Over the weekend, Zhou Heng and Li Lang went to visit Pang Jie and the others.

Wang Xuchen and Shi Jingqi's beast tamers both advanced to the third tier, first level two days ago, officially becoming third-tier elite beast tamers.

Both of them possessed S-level talent and had contracted mid-level diamond-quality beasts. Although their family backgrounds weren't particularly good, their growth rate was still within the normal range.

Pang Jie's Beast Taming has reached the peak of the eighth level of the second tier, and Li Lang's Frost Bear King has also reached the peak of the ninth level of the second tier. The two are not far from breaking through.

Soon, another two weeks passed, and on May 20th, which happened to be a Saturday, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon successfully advanced to the third tier, ninth level.

After its promotion, the size of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon increased directly from eighty meters to ninety meters. Its head alone was the size of a small house, making it appear even more majestic and imposing.
