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

The next day, Wednesday, Zhou Heng arrived at the Changsheng Training Hall as usual to receive special training from the principal of No. 3 Middle School.

As a result, he only met Zhang Peng there, but not Fang Yushu or the principal of No. 3 Middle School.

Zhou Heng cut to the chase: "Teacher Zhang, didn't the principal already return? And what about Senior Yushu? Why isn't he here today?"

Zhang Peng explained, "The new season of the ASEAN Junior Beast Taming Team Friendship League has begun. Only second-year high school students can participate in this competition. Today, the principal took Fang Yushu to No. 1 High School to participate in the preliminary round of the Junior Beast Taming Team Friendship League. They probably won't be back until tomorrow."

Zhou Heng understood: "Okay, I understand."

……

In the afternoon, after Zhou Heng returned to the villa, Li Lang came over: "Heng, Pang Jie sent a message in the group that his tamed beast, Canghai Yunyao, has advanced to the second tier, ninth level."

Zhou Heng casually said, "I haven't been paying attention to the messages in the group, but that's pretty normal. They all have A-level talents, have contracted low-level diamond-quality beasts, and come from similar family backgrounds. Your Frost Bear King is already at the second tier, tenth level, so it's impossible for him to fall too far behind."

Li Lang put away the communicator: "Are you aware of the Youth Beast Taming Team Friendship Competition?"

Zhou Heng sat on the sofa and picked up a bottle of drink: "I know, what's wrong?"

Li Lang sat down next to Zhou Heng and explained, "This competition is the most important one for our Beast Taming High School students besides the college entrance examination ranking competition. We need to form a team of five to participate. Last year, our school had Gu Yixuan. Since he had already cultivated his Beast Taming to the third level, tenth stage, apart from the four teams led by geniuses who had contracted with overlord Beast Taming masters, his team was the strongest. They made it all the way through the preliminary rounds to the top eight and finally ranked fifth, which was a great achievement for our school. But I don't know if they can maintain that level this year."

Zhou Heng offered a rational analysis: "This year, our school's team is led by Senior Yu Shu. He only has A-level talent, and his beast, the Illusionary Light Butterfly, is of lower-level diamond quality, currently only at the third tier, third level. Yang Yixing from No. 2 Middle School has S-level talent, and his beast, the Meteor Titan, is of upper-level diamond quality, already at the third tier, seventh level. Cao Yang from No. 1 Middle School also has S-level talent, and his beast, the Four-Winged Soaring Serpent, is of mid-level diamond quality, already at the third tier, sixth level. Compared to them, Senior Yu Shu is far inferior; he probably won't even make it past the preliminary rounds."

A hint of seriousness appeared in Li Lang's eyes: "Yes! Only by becoming the number one team on Xuanxiao Star can one enter the preliminary selection. Then, the teams representing the thirty-six first-level planets will compete again to enter the semi-finals and finally have the qualification to challenge the teams representing the four core ancient stars."

Zhou Heng didn't take it to heart: "No wonder Teacher Zhang told me today that the principal will be back tomorrow. It seems that he also thinks that Senior Yushu will not pass the preliminary selection."

Li Lang shrugged: "There's nothing we can do. Fang Yushu doesn't have any S-level talent this year, so he'll just have to suffer a bit. When we compete next year, we'll definitely get revenge for the school."

A confident glint appeared in Zhou Heng's eyes: "That's for sure."

……

The next day, Thursday, the first and second year students of No. 3 Middle School came to Changsheng Training Hall to hold the end-of-term grade competition.

Fang Yushu, a second-year high school student, has cultivated his Beast Taming to the third level of the third tier. Although he did not even pass the preliminary selection of the East Asia Youth Beast Taming Team Friendship League, he is still the strongest among the second-year students of No. 3 Middle School, ranking first in the grade.

The remaining students in the second year of high school are even weaker.

In the first year of high school, Zhou Heng's Phoenix Azure Phoenix is ​​of high-grade diamond quality and has reached the third tier, tenth level. The Eternal Night Demon Dragon and the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon are of mid-grade overlord quality and have reached the third tier, ninth level.

With these three powerful beasts at his disposal, he naturally secured his position as the top student in his first year of high school.

Li Lang's Frost Bear King is of lower-tier diamond quality and has reached the second tier, tenth level, making him the second-best in his first year of high school.

Ji Chao's Crystal Elephant is of superior gold quality, reaching the second tier, fifth level, and ranks third in his grade.

Li Shiliang's Sword Shadow Mantis is a high-grade gold quality, second-tier, fifth level, and fourth in the grade.

Chen Hui's Azure Demon Tiger is of lower-grade gold quality, reaching the fifth level of the second tier, ranking fifth in his grade.

Gao Wenwu's Black Fiend Wolf is of superior silver quality and has reached the second tier, seventh level. He also surpassed Zhang Yunfeng, who possesses the Black Water Serpent, by relying on the Black Fiend Clone skill he learned later, and became the sixth in the grade.

Zhang Yunfeng's Blackwater Serpent is of lower-grade diamond quality, but its level is only second-tier, fourth level. His talent is that of a beginner-level snake, and he is not good at direct combat, so he is ranked seventh in his grade.

Pei Ge's Illusory Oriole is of mid-grade gold quality, second tier, fourth level, and eighth in the grade.

Zou Lei's Lava Dragon Lizard is of mid-grade gold quality, second tier, fourth level, and ninth in the grade.

Nangong Cuiyi's Blue Flame Ice Demon is a mid-level gold-quality weapon, second-tier, fourth level, and tenth in the grade.

Yan Shouzhen's Azure Soul Deer is of mid-grade gold quality, second tier, fourth level, and eleventh in the grade.

He Hongmei's Savage Stone Ox is of superior silver quality, second tier, third level, and twenty-seventh in its grade.

After Zhou Heng led everyone up on stage to receive the awards from the principal, his first year of high school officially came to an end.

Zhou's father and mother rode on a peacock to pick him up and take him home.

The two-month summer vacation has officially begun.

After dinner, Zhou Heng specifically asked, "Mom and Dad, are we going back to Yuandu for summer vacation?"

Zhou's mother placed her hand on Zhou Heng's arm and revealed a gentle smile: "Of course you have to go back. You have nurtured the Phoenix Feather Azure Phoenix to the peak of the third rank, and it is not far from the fourth rank. When the ancestors find out after we go back, they will be very happy."

With a look of relief in his eyes, Zhou's father said, "We originally planned that you would be able to cultivate the Phoenix Azure Phoenix to the third rank, tenth level in the first semester of your senior year, and to the fourth rank when the college entrance examination is approaching. But your speed has completely exceeded our expectations. The family also needs to speed up the process of collecting the spiritual items needed to evolve the Phoenix Azure Phoenix into the Rainbow Winged Azure Phoenix."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng's mind raced: "Has the most precious Yi Tian Crystal Jade been found?"

Yitian Crystal Jade is very special and extremely rare.

Zhou's mother shook her head: "It's not clear yet, we'll know when we get back."

Zhou Heng pressed, "When are we going back?"

Zhou's father immediately said, "Your mother and I have already asked the Education Bureau and the Pharmacist Association for leave in advance. We will return directly to Yuandu in five days."

Zhou Heng was overjoyed: "That's wonderful! I can finally see my grandparents, maternal grandparents, and two great-grandparents again."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou watched this scene with happy and warm smiles on their faces.

Two days later, Zhou Heng received news that Wang Xuchen, the Emerald Elf Lord, and Shi Jingqi's Rock-Suppressing Mountain Rhinoceros had both advanced to the second level of the third tier.

He wasn't surprised by this, after all, both of them had S-level talents and had contracted mid-level diamond-quality beasts, so this speed was normal.
