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

Li Shiliang sighed, "Young Master Zhou, you're so powerful, how are we supposed to live?! It's too disheartening!"

Pei Ge was dejected: "None of us are even at the third level, but Young Master Zhou is almost at the fourth level. It's really infuriating to compare ourselves to others."

Chen Hui, with a fawning smile, said, "Young Master Zhou, could you share some of your secrets for raising and training beasts with us?"

As Zhou Heng listened to the praise and compliments from the crowd, his expression remained unchanged, as calm and composed as ever, giving people a sense of transcendence, as if he were neither elated by external gains nor saddened by personal losses.

"Great! Excellent!"

Zhang Peng carefully sensed the surging auras emanating from the Phoenix Azure Luan, the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, his face revealing undisguised admiration: "Congratulations, Zhou Heng! All three of your tamed beasts have broken through to the ninth level of the third tier. Their auras are solid and stable, without the slightest weakness! Keep it up, and the threshold of the fourth tier will be just around the corner! You are the pride of our entire school!"

Zhou Heng looked at the three majestic beasts beside him and smiled calmly and confidently: "Don't worry, teacher, I will work even harder."

Zhang Peng nodded with relief: "With your words, I am naturally at ease."

Pei Ge looked up at Zhou Heng: "I'm only in my first year of high school, and Young Master Zhou has already raised all three of my beasts to the third tier, ninth level. I really don't know how to express my respect for Young Master Zhou. I also don't know if I'll be able to reach the third tier, ninth level by the time I take the college entrance exam."

Ji Chao teased, "What are you dreaming about? You and I both only have B-level talent, and you're only at the third tier, ninth level! If we don't work hard, we might not even reach the second tier, ninth level by the time of the college entrance exam."

Chen Hui sighed, "Apart from Zhou Shao, who is the only prodigy among us, even it would be unlikely for Class Monitor Li Lang to reach the ninth level of the third rank before the college entrance examination, let alone the rest of us."

Zou Lei chimed in, "Yeah! All I ask for is to reach the third level, first tier in the college entrance exam, go to a third-tier university for four years, and get a diploma. I really don't dare to ask for anything else."

He Hongmei nodded: "Me too."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Peng quickly encouraged them, "Dear students, you must keep a calm mindset and not compare yourselves to Zhou Heng. A genius like Zhou Heng may only appear once every few decades. In fact, you are all already very excellent. As long as you persevere and work hard, university is already beckoning to you."

Ji Chao lowered his head meekly: "Teacher, you're overthinking it. How could we dare compare ourselves to Young Master Zhou!"

Li Shiliang echoed, "That's right. Young Master Zhou is more talented than us, has a better family background than us, and works harder than us. Ten thousand of us can't compare to Young Master Zhou."

Zhang Peng looked helpless: "Even so, you can't give up now. Even if you can never catch up with Zhou Heng in your lifetime, when it comes to the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, a higher Beast Taming level is a world of difference. You must not slack off in the slightest."

Zhang Yunfeng clenched his fists: "We understand! We will definitely take Young Master Zhou as our role model and strive to become stronger!"

Ji Chao's face showed determination: "Although we can't compare to Young Master Zhou, it's already a rare and lucky thing to be his classmate. We can't easily lose to others, lest we embarrass Young Master Zhou."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Peng couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Zhou Heng then stated, "Classmates, if there's anything you don't understand or don't get clear on, and it's inconvenient for you to ask the teacher, you can come and ask me. As long as I know the answer, I will definitely share it with you all! I hope we can all make progress together and get into our ideal universities."

"Thank you, Young Master Zhou!"

"Very good……"

"Young Master Zhou..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

Afterwards, under Zhang Peng's arrangement, everyone began training the beast tamers.

Soon, it was noon.

After school, Zhou Heng took the students from the Rocket Class, along with the auditors, to the cafeteria for a meal, and then returned to their respective dormitories for their lunch break.

Inside the small villa, Zhou Heng had just lain down when a powerful aura swept over him without warning, like an invisible wave, instantly dispelling his afternoon languor.

The empty beverage can on the table vibrated and made a slight humming sound.

Zhou Heng sprang out of bed instantly, threw on his coat, and went downstairs from the bedroom.

"Ah Heng!" Li Lang's villa was right next to Zhou Heng's.

Relying on his extraordinary physical abilities as a beast tamer, he jumped over the wall.

Upon seeing Zhou Heng, Li Lang lowered his voice, his expression grave: "Such a strong energy fluctuation! Did you sense it?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Of course I felt it."

Li Lang regarded Zhou Heng as his pillar of support: "Ah Heng, what happened?"

Zhou Heng used his mental power to sense the source of the aura and instantly determined it: "This energy fluctuation is coming from the detached villa area near the senior high school's elite class."

Every member of the first-year high school elite class has a small villa, and naturally, the second- and third-year elite classes also have them.

The three villa areas are not far apart, but they are located in different directions, making them easy to identify.

Li Lang asked, "Has someone broken through to a higher level? Or has the beast taming gone out of control?"

Zhou Heng offered his guess: "I suspect it's because Senior Gu Yixuan broke through."

Li Lang was extremely surprised: "He broke through? He really broke through? No way? He was already at the third rank, tenth level. If he broke through again, he would be at the fourth rank, first level. That's the fourth rank..."

"Whether it is or not, we'll know once we see it for ourselves." With a thought, Zhou Heng summoned the Phoenix and Azure Luan, his brows gleaming with purple light.

"唳~"

Sensing the imposing aura emanating from nearby, the Phoenix Azure Phoenix raised its neck, its clear cry instantly piercing the air.

Zhou Heng and Li Lang leaped onto the back of the Phoenix and Azure Luan.

Zhou Heng gave the order to take off: "Nine Heavens, fly a little higher."

With a flap of its wings, the Phoenix and Azure Luan created a gust of air and hovered above the villa.

Zhou Heng strained his eyes and looked toward the source of the energy fluctuations.

Inside the villa area of ​​the senior high school's elite class, a 60-meter-long Heavenly Fire Demon Scorpion was roaring towards the sky.

A layer of blazing orange-red flames appeared on its originally dark red carapace, and the tips of its huge pincers and tail hooks were leaping with a heart-stopping blazing white flame.

The high temperature caused the space around it to deform and distort.

Immediately afterwards, the flames burning around the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion suddenly contracted inward, then exploded with a roar, and an orange-red pillar of fire shot into the sky, its light dazzling.

Its aura surged wildly, as if it were riding a starship, instantly breaking through an invisible bottleneck and reaching a whole new level!

boom!

As the energy surged, the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion's size expanded rapidly at a visible speed, instantly growing from sixty meters to one hundred meters.

The fourth-order beast-taming aura was released without reservation, enveloping the entire No. 3 Middle School campus.
