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

Although Gu Yixuan was pleased with himself, he did not lose his composure.

He replied with a smile, "Junior Brother Zhou Heng, Junior Brother Li Lang, thank you! I was just lucky. I stayed at the peak of the third tier for a year, accumulated enough experience, and with the support of the school's resources, I finally managed to advance to the fourth tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer before the college entrance examination."

Zhou Heng's eyes shone brightly: "There's no such thing as luck in advancing to the fourth level before the college entrance exam. Senior, you're too modest."

Gu Yixuan shrugged: "Junior Zhou Heng, with you here, I dare not be modest! You are the true prodigy. In my opinion, you will probably advance directly to a fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer in your second year of high school."

Zhou Heng looked around confidently and calmly: "Thank you for your kind words, senior."

The three of them stood at the entrance of the villa and chatted for a few more minutes.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng and Li Lang got to know the other seven people, exchanged contact information, and then left.

That afternoon, the Grand Chancellor of the Garrison Command personally came to the Third Middle School, encouraged Gu Yixuan in person, and gave Gu Yixuan a lot of resources in the name of the Garrison Command.

The entire campus was abuzz with talk about Gu Yixuan's advancement to the fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer.

That very evening, Gu Yixuan made the front page of the news on Xuanxiao Star.

……

The next day was Wednesday, and Zhou Heng once again rode on the back of the Phoenix and Azure Phoenix to the Everlasting Victory Arena.

He spotted Gu Yixuan, who was already waiting there, at a glance.

When Gu Yixuan saw Zhou Heng, he smiled and nodded.

Zhou Heng also greeted them, and stared at the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion for a few more moments.

The Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion shrunk to about two meters in size and quietly lay beside Gu Yixuan. Its restrained fourth-order aura was like a dormant volcano, ready to erupt with powerful force at any moment.

Soon after, the principal of No. 3 Middle School also appeared out of nowhere.

He first looked at Gu Yixuan, his tone filled with obvious satisfaction: "Yixuan, now that you have broken through to the fourth level and are beginning to achieve the Grandmaster realm, there are only a little over ten days left until the college entrance examination. The most urgent task is to consolidate your realm and help your beast tamer become familiar with the power of the domain. Regular training is no longer of much use to you. You can arrange your own time these next few days, focusing on consolidation."

"Principal, I understand."

Gu Yi's eyes burned with intensity, his fighting spirit slowly rising: "But it is precisely because I have just broken through that I want to challenge Junior Brother Zhou Heng again."

He paused, then spoke candidly, "In our last battle, I accepted my defeat wholeheartedly, but I was still unwilling to accept it. Now that the Flame King has advanced to the fourth rank and awakened his domain ability, no one of my peers on the entire Xuanxiao Star can rival me. I yearn for a real battle to test my current strength. I humbly request the principal's permission, and I also ask my junior for his guidance."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School looked at Zhou Heng, silently seeking his opinion.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng did not immediately agree. Instead, he looked at the principal of No. 3 Middle School with a sly glint in his eyes: "Principal, what do you think the outcome would be between me and the senior student right now?"

Gu Yixuan was equally curious: "I'd also like to know, could the principal give us an analysis?"

"Although Zhou Heng's three beasts are still only at the third tier, ninth level, their true combat strength cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School's gaze swept over the two most outstanding students, and he conducted a thorough analysis: "Among them, Fengyi Qingluan has extraordinary potential and outstanding intelligence. Its combat power is now infinitely close to the threshold of the fourth rank, comparable to the weakest fourth-rank beast. As for Fuhai Yinlong and Yongye Molong, as mid-level overlord beasts, their strength far exceeds the level limit. When they were at the third rank, eighth level, they were already equivalent to the combat power of a high-level gold-quality beast that had just broken through to the fourth rank. Now that their level has been improved, their combat power has naturally reached a new level. They are probably comparable to the combat power of a low-level diamond or even mid-level diamond-quality beast that has just broken through to the fourth rank."

Zhou Heng had previously estimated the true combat power of his three beasts, which coincided with the prediction of the principal of No. 3 Middle School.

His face remained expressionless as he continued to listen to the analysis of the principal of No. 3 Middle School.

"On the other hand, Yixuan's Heavenly Fire Demon Scorpion, although it is of high-grade diamond quality and has advanced to the fourth rank, should be able to defeat the Phoenix Azure Phoenix. However, against either the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon or the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, it would probably only have a slight advantage and would not be able to completely defeat them. If Zhou Heng's three beasts attack together, the Heavenly Fire Demon Scorpion will not even be able to fight back. And this is only the difference between the beasts. In addition, Yixuan's talent is more inclined to auxiliary cultivation, and there is no amplification in actual combat."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School was very objective: "Zhou Heng's talent is the Miracle Guardian of the Night God, which is one of the top talents among S-level talents. It is both offensive and defensive, and extremely powerful! Once Zhou Heng uses his talent, even if he faces the Phoenix Azure Phoenix, the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion probably won't be able to defeat him, let alone the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon or the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, or even all three of them at once. So no matter from any perspective, even if Yi Xuan has already advanced to the fourth-level Grandmaster Beast Tamer, Zhou Heng will ultimately be the victor."

Gu Yixuan listened quietly, his expression not changing much.

He was mentally prepared for this.

Even after becoming a fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer, he did not dare to dream of surpassing Zhou Heng, after all, the power of a Overlord Beast Tamer was far beyond that of a Diamond Beast Tamer.

He genuinely just wanted to test his current combat strength so that he could be more at ease during the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination.

"More importantly, Zhou Heng recently received guidance from a university mentor, which allowed him to develop his talent to its fullest potential. He no longer has the boundary between day and night and can gain a duration of 120 seconds at any time, which has raised his combat power to another level. Not to mention Yi Xuan, even many ordinary teachers from No. 3 Middle School are now basically no match for Zhou Heng."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School stated the final conclusion: "Therefore, this time, the odds of victory still lie with Zhou Heng."

At No. 3 Middle School, anyone who reaches the first level of the fourth rank, or the early stage of the fourth rank, can become a regular teacher.

With such ability, she is more than capable of teaching regular classes and classes with struggling students.

Most of the beasts contracted by these teachers are only of gold quality and their talents are not particularly high, basically B or C grade. Zhou Heng can easily overcome the barriers of the third and fourth tiers to defeat them.

"Junior Zhou Heng possesses extraordinary talent and unfathomable strength; I've always been aware of this. My challenge wasn't based on belief that I could defeat him, but simply on a desire to hone my skills! Therefore, even knowing defeat is inevitable, I still wish to fight with all my might!"

After listening to the principal's analysis, Gu Yixuan was not discouraged at all; instead, the fighting spirit in his eyes intensified: "To be honest, my Beast Taming has reached the fourth tier, first level, while yours is still at the third tier, ninth level. Using level to suppress others is already a disadvantage. But I still humbly request your guidance! If I can receive your full guidance, it will be better than a hundred days of training for me. When the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination comes, I will have more confidence when facing those true geniuses from the core planets, and thus achieve a better ranking."
