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

Afterwards, the two companions thanked Zhou Heng again before he finally sent them away.

During this time, Li Lang also came over, and Zhou Heng asked him how he had arranged his study companion.

Li Lang said directly, "I've arranged for them all to be project managers at Feixue Group. Although they only have D-level talent and the quality of their contracted beasts is low, they're still part of my initial team. If they work there for two years without any problems, they'll be promoted directly to department managers."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but tease, "Starting to plant people so early, are you trying to compete with your brother for the heir position?"

Li Lang, however, revealed a serious expression: "Even if I don't inherit my father's position as chairman in the future, I'll still get a share of the shares and become a director or president, right? It's only natural that I'll control several subsidiaries, and of course, I'll need loyal people."

Zhou Heng expressed his understanding: "I get it."

……

That afternoon, Zhou's father, as usual, rode his Yao Ye Peacock to pick up Zhou Heng and take him home.

After the family of three finished their meal, Zhou's father and mother brought up Gu Yixuan's advancement to the fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer, as well as the battle between Zhou Heng and Gu Yixuan in the Xuanxiao Mountains.

Zhou's mother praised, "Our precious son is really amazing. He hasn't even finished his first year of high school, and he can already defeat a fourth-level Grandmaster Beast Tamer."

Father Zhou's face showed approval: "Gu Yixuan's beast taming is of high-grade diamond quality. Although his talent cannot be used in battle, he is not the weakest among the newly promoted fourth-level grandmaster beast tamers. My good son's efforts these days have not been in vain."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "My own efforts are actually the least important factor in my ability to defeat Senior Gu at this age. It's all thanks to my parents, grandparents, maternal grandparents, and the nurturing of Ancestor Wanbao and Ancestor Linglong. Without you providing me with a good environment to grow up in, giving me countless resources, and helping me contract two mid-level overlord-quality beasts, I would never have achieved what I have today."

Father Zhou said meaningfully, "My dear son, we know how much effort we put in. While it's true that we gave you the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, the Phoenix Azure Phoenix's growth rate far surpasses that of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, which is beyond our capabilities."

Zhou Heng remained expressionless: "Jiuxiao's rapid growth is also due to the resources provided by the family."

Mother Zhou said gently, "Outsiders might think that the speed at which Fengyi and Qingluan are growing is due to the large amount of resources we've invested, but we know in our hearts that even with a lot of resources, Fengyi and Qingluan shouldn't be growing this fast."

Zhou's father recalled the speculation that the old Zhou family head had told him before: "Actually, your mother and I both feel that, judging from the current growth rate of Fengyi Qingluan, the person who contracts it is not like an S-level talent at all, but rather an SS-level talent, or even an SSS-level talent."

Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow: "Really? Do Mom and Dad think there was a problem when my talent awakened? That it displayed the wrong level?"

Mr. Zhou shook his head: "That's impossible."

Mother Zhou picked up the bowl of white fungus soup and stirred it with a spoon: "Actually, this kind of example of a beast tamer growing much faster than normal reminds me of the experience of Wuyou Supreme, the first tenth-level supreme beast tamer in the history of our Eastern Alliance."

Zhou Heng's heart stirred; he understood the meaning behind his parents' words.

Zhou's parents probably suspect that he has awakened a second talent.

He had already made up his mind to find a suitable opportunity to declare that he possessed a second talent, thereby dispelling the various speculations that others had about his rapid growth in beast taming.

Zhou Heng deliberately feigned interest in the Supreme Worry-Free, who possessed a second talent in history: "Mom and Dad, can you tell me about the Supreme Worry-Free's deeds? I've looked up a lot of information at school and learned about many of the Supreme Worry-Free's deeds, but I haven't found any particularly detailed biographical details about him."

Mr. Zhou explained, "Of course, your school wouldn't have these things. Although the detailed life story of Wuyou Supreme isn't a top-secret file, it's not something that ordinary people can access."

Mother Zhou put down the white fungus soup in her hand, a look of vicissitude appearing in her eyes: "In the era of Supreme Worry-Free, humanity had not yet completely left the ancestral planet."

Zhou Heng shared the historical knowledge he had researched: "I know that at that time, there were bases and shelters scattered across the ancestral star. Supreme Worry-Free was born in a very small shelter and later became the first tenth-order Supreme Beast Tamer in human history."

Zhou's mother nodded: "That's right."

Zhou Heng steered the conversation toward the most crucial point: "I read in the book that when Wuyou Supreme awakened his talent, he only awakened a D-level talent. Later, he discovered that he had two talents, and his second talent was even SSS-level. But the book didn't explain exactly how he discovered that he had a second talent, which I've always been very curious about."

Mr. Zhou slapped his thigh and said, "You've come to the right person. When your mother was in college, she was particularly interested in ancient history."

Zhou Heng looked at his mother expectantly: "Mom, can you tell me about it?"

Mother Zhou organized her thoughts and began to explain: "The Supreme Worry-Free's first talent was indeed only D-grade, but that wasn't the official designation back then. The grading methods were different, but the essence was the same. The reason the Supreme Worry-Free discovered his second talent is said to be because he once encountered a pregnant wild beast. This wild behemoth was of diamond quality, and the Supreme Worry-Free was seriously injured protecting it, which deeply moved the beast. Coincidentally, the beast's cub was born at that time, and the beast entrusted its child to the Supreme Worry-Free, hoping that he would form a contract with it."

She spoke very seriously: "But Supreme Worry-Free refused outright because he believed that with his D-level talent, he couldn't form a contract with a diamond-quality beast. The wild beast, however, persisted, insisting that its offspring form a contract with Supreme Worry-Free. Supreme Worry-Free had no choice but to attempt a contract. He intended to demonstrate the limitations of beast contracts to the wild beast, thus discouraging it, but unexpectedly…"

Zhou Heng had a sudden inspiration: "I know! A D-level talent can only form contracts with gold-quality beasts at most. Normally, if Supreme Worry-Free truly only had a D-level talent, his contract with a diamond-quality beast would definitely have failed, but it succeeded in the end. So Supreme Worry-Free discovered his difference from others because of this, right?"

Zhou's mother showed a look of approval, saying, "That's right, exactly."
