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

Zhou Heng nodded to Wang Zhu, then looked at Tian Fugui: "My dad has already made arrangements with the Education Bureau. Senior Tian, ​​my dad has reserved a permanent position for you. You don't need to take an exam; you can start directly. Once you get there, you'll begin as a junior clerk. From then on, you'll be a member of the government."

Tian Fugui spoke his mind: "Young Master Zhou, I won't say anything pretentious. From now on, my life belongs to you."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Work hard! Being a junior clerk is just the beginning. Strive to become an instructor or something in the future, that's what it means to bring honor to your ancestors."

Tian Fugui's face showed determination, and he quickly said, "I will live up to your expectations and strive to become an instructor in the future, so as not to bring shame to you."

Zhou Heng was very satisfied with this.

Then, Wang Zhu and Tian Fugui said in unison, "We will always remember Young Master Zhou's kindness and never forget it."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng chatted with them for a few more minutes before sending them away.

On Tuesday, during the practical training session, everyone discovered that Zou Lei and Yan Shouzhen's beast taming skills had advanced to the second tier, fourth level.

However, they didn't pay much attention to it, because the senior high school students would be taking the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination next week, which was the most important thing right now.

……

June arrived in the blink of an eye.

June 4th was another Sunday.

At the dinner table, Zhou's father said to Zhou Heng, "My dear son, I can't take you to school today. Your mother will take you instead."

Zhou Heng put down his chopsticks: "What's wrong, Dad?"

Actually, it wasn't that his father absolutely had to take him to school; it was just that it had become a routine. If his father suddenly stopped taking him, it must be because he had something to do.

Mr. Zhou explained, "June 6th is the official college entrance examination day for senior high school students. According to the alliance's regulations, all students from second-level and third-level planets who are qualified to participate in the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination ranking must gather on the corresponding first-level planet in advance."

Zhou's mother chimed in, "Xuanxiao Star has eighteen level-two planets and over three hundred level-three planets under its jurisdiction. This year, none of the three hundred level-three planets had students who could train their beast tamers to the third rank before the college entrance examination, so they are directly ineligible for the exam. Among the eighteen level-two planets, however, quite a few students advanced to the third rank elite beast tamer before the exam. They will all be sent here today by the guardians of their respective level-two planets, and then someone will make special arrangements for them. Tomorrow, they will be picked up by people sent from the Alliance Headquarters along with all the other students on Xuanxiao Star who have reached the third rank in beast taming for the college entrance examination."

Mr. Zhou added, "As the Deputy Director of Education at the Education Department, I have to personally oversee things to prevent any accidents from happening."

The Beast Taming College Entrance Examination of this era is different from that of more than 6,000 years ago.

The reason why it is said that if you train your beast tamer to the third level and become a third-level elite beast tamer, you can be guaranteed to go to university is because only third-level elite beast tamers are qualified to participate in the college entrance examination ranking.

All students who take the college entrance examination will not fail; the only difference will be their ranking.

When admitting students, the ten Beast Taming Universities do not look at scores, but only at rankings.

The higher the ranking, the better the school you can get into.

Students whose beast-taming level is below the third rank are not even qualified to participate in the college entrance examination ranking and will be eliminated directly.

Zhou Heng sighed, "Among so many level-three planets, not a single high school senior has managed to train their beast taming to the third rank this year."

Father Zhou casually remarked, "As mentioned before, according to the Alliance's rules, all students from third-rate Beast Taming High Schools with a talent level of B or higher must be sent to second-rate or first-rate Beast Taming High Schools. Similarly, on level-three planets, students with Beast Taming talent reaching level B must be sent to level-two or first-rate planets, because level-three planets only have third-rate Beast Taming High Schools, not second-rate or first-rate ones. Therefore, the highest talent level among the students who ultimately remain on third-rate planets is only C."

Zhou Heng nodded, indicating that he remembered.

Father Zhou then added, "For a student with C-level talent to cultivate their Beast Taming to the third tier, first level before the college entrance examination, two conditions must be met: first, they must directly contract a Diamond-quality Beast Taming; second, they must have a sufficient supply of resources. Obviously, these two conditions are very difficult to meet on a level three planet."

Zhou Heng thought of Zhang Yunfeng from their school, who, despite having a C-level talent, had contracted a Blackwater Serpent of lower-level diamond quality.

Judging solely from the quality of his beast taming, he surpassed most of the students at No. 3 Middle School.

But Zhang Yunfeng is too special. He is the only son of two fifth-level warrior beast tamers, and his parents do not mind his low talent, which is something that others cannot compare to.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "I understand, Dad. You can go to school by yourself. Jiu Xiao is very fast."

Mr. Zhou shook his head: "No, it's not safe for you to go to school alone."

Zhou Heng turned his gaze to the two assassins in the corner: "Elder Zhong and Elder Yong are with me too! No need to trouble Mom."

Mr. Zhou looked at him with a doting expression: "It's alright, it's better to have your mother take you there."

Zhou's mother gently placed a piece of food on Zhou Heng's plate: "Since I'm free anyway, let me take Green Fairy to take you to school."

Seeing this, Zhou Heng did not continue to refuse his parents' kindness.

After finishing his meal, Mr. Zhou rode his Night Peacock away from the Zhou family manor and headed towards the Education Bureau.

In the afternoon, Zhou's mother took Zhou Heng and sat on the back of the Hundred-Flower Deer King.

With a single stomp of its four hooves, the Hundred-Flower Deer King leaped into the air.

It didn't use the ability to teleport; it simply used its flight speed to get Zhou Heng to school in a few dozen seconds.

Zhou Heng chatted with his mother for a few more minutes before she rode the Hundred-Flower Deer King back home.

The next morning, when Zhou Heng, Li Lang, Gao Wenwu, and others went to the classroom for their theory class, they found that all the teaching buildings were covered with banners, all about the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination.

In the afternoon, the principal of No. 3 Middle School sent a notice in the group chat.

On Tuesday morning at nine o'clock, all the first and second year high school students in the advanced classes were to go to the school gate to see off the third year high school students who were going to take the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination.

Subsequently, the principal of No. 3 Middle School also issued a list of senior students who had been promoted to the third-level elite beast tamer and were qualified to participate in the beast tamer college entrance examination.

Li Lang, holding his phone, said to Zhou Heng, "Heng, the school did quite well this year. A total of thirty-four senior students advanced to the third-tier elite beast tamer level before the college entrance examination, meeting the standard for participating in the beast tamer college entrance examination. Counting Senior Gu, a fourth-tier grandmaster beast tamer, No. 3 High School will produce thirty-five college students this year."

Zhou Heng carefully browsed through the messages sent by the principal of No. 3 Middle School: "Most of them have barely reached the threshold, or even just broken through to the first level of the third rank a couple of days ago. Apart from Senior Gu, Ge Lijuan, who is ranked second, is only at the sixth level of the third rank. It seems that this time we will have to rely entirely on Senior Gu to carry the burden."
