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

Zhou Heng patted Li Lang's arm and comforted him, "That's not bad. As long as you can advance to the third level in your second year of high school, you can at least get into a second-tier university in the college entrance examination."

Li Lang smiled, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

He had always wanted to attend a top-tier university with Zhou Heng, but he also knew that even with Zhou Heng's help and the resources he received, it would be difficult for him to get into a top-tier university.

But he will not give up; he is determined to give it his all.

Although Li Lang had made up his mind to work harder, he said nonchalantly, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to go to Hanyue University, which is in the first tier? I remember there's a Tianxing University in the second tier, which is in Weidu just like Hanyue University. You can apply to Hanyue University and I'll apply to Tianxing University."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "It would be best if you could go to Hanyue University with me."

Li Lang nodded emphatically: "I will do my best."

Zhou Heng placed the shrunken Eternal Night Dragon on his shoulder and then asked, "Ah Lang, is your brother starting high school this year?"

Li Lang nodded: "That's right, he's eighteen years old this year and is about to officially awaken his talent."

Zhou Heng looked at the phoenix-like blue phoenix preening its feathers and nodded: "It's fine."

Li Lang's expression was somewhat complicated: "I wonder what kind of talent he will awaken. I hope he won't disappoint my father."

Zhou Heng ran his fingers along the scales of the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea, his tone calm: "Talent is a wondrous thing bestowed by the laws of the universe; one can only leave it to fate."

Li Lang was an optimist: "You're right. My brother and I both have A-level talent, and my sister has B-level talent. Even if my brother's talent isn't good, my dad shouldn't be too upset."

……

The next day, Monday, Zhou Heng, Li Lang, Gao Wenwu, and others came to the classroom together.

Ji Chao and the other seven auditors went up to greet him, and then began the theory lesson.

The courses for the first and second years of high school are not much different; they are still the same few types.

Zhou Heng listened very attentively.

He discovered that these theoretical courses were quite intricate, and that if one wanted to develop in the fields of trainer, pharmacist, and blacksmith after entering university, it was essential to attend the basic theoretical courses in high school.

He hadn't decided whether he wanted to pursue one of these three professions in the future, but it was never a bad thing to learn more.

Tuesday was another practical lesson.

Seeing that all five students from the rocket class and the seven auditors were present, Zhang Peng couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Last year, the number of students in the elite class dropped from nine to five, and he lost four top students who were guaranteed to go to university, which broke his heart.

On the one hand, he genuinely cared about these students.

On the other hand, every student who gets into university brings him a bonus, and losing even one would be a huge loss.

"After a summer vacation, you are now high school sophomores."

Zhang Peng planned to check everyone's beast-taming level as usual: "I won't say much, release your beasts and let me see how much progress you've made in the past two months."

Starting with the auditors, everyone gradually released their tamed beasts.

Among them, Zou Lei's Lava Dragon Lizard, Nangong Cuiyi's Blue Flame Ice Demon, Yan Shouzheng's Azure Soul Deer, Pei Ge's Illusionary Oriole, and Zhang Yunfeng's Black Water Serpent have advanced to the fifth level of the second tier.

He Hongmei's Savage Stone Ox has advanced to the second tier, fourth level.

Chen Hui's Azure Demon Tiger has advanced to the sixth level of the second tier.

Gao Wenwu's Black Fiend Wolf has advanced to the second tier, eighth level.

Apart from Zhang Yunfeng, the auras of these people who tamed beasts were all rather weak, clearly indicating that they had only recently broken through.

Ji Chao's Crystal Colossus and Li Shiliang's Sword Shadow Mantis remained at the second tier, fifth level.

Judging from his aura, he is not far from reaching the sixth level of the second tier.

Li Lang's Frost Bear King remains at the second tier, tenth level, and cannot break through in a short time.

The advantages of talent become apparent as you progress.

Although Ji Chao, Li Shiliang, Pei Ge, Nangong Cuiyi, Zou Lei, Yan Shouzheng, and Zhang Yunfeng come from good families, they only have B-level and C-level talents, and their drive is nowhere near that of Li Lang, Gao Wenwu, and Chen Hui, who have A-level talents.

As for He Hongmei, her parents are ordinary people, her training is not particularly rigorous, her beast taming quality is relatively low, and her talent is the most lackluster among A-level talents, but she is gradually catching up.

This further proves the importance of talent.

Finally, Zhou Heng also summoned the Phoenix Azure Phoenix, the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon.

Faced with three beasts that had all reached the third rank and tenth level, the crowd did not appear as shocked as before, but rather seemed to have expected it.

Ji Chao was overjoyed, his face beaming: "Young Master Zhou is truly amazing! All three of your beast tamers have advanced to the tenth level of the third tier!"

Gao Wenwu smiled and said with a hint of joy that he had guessed correctly: "Before the summer vacation, Brother Zhou's Phoenix Azure Phoenix was already at the third level and tenth stage. I had long expected that by the end of this summer vacation, Brother Zhou's Eternal Night Demon Dragon and Overturning Sea Silver Dragon would also reach the third level and tenth stage."

Li Lang picked up the conversation, puffing out his chest and cheering for Zhou Heng: "Aheng is the strongest! Even if Aheng's beast taming directly advances to the fourth rank right now, I won't be surprised at all."

He Hongmei's tone was very sincere, and her round face had a pair of bright eyes: "The vice class monitor has always been very strong, and the speed of her beast taming advancement never slows down. It's really enviable."

Li Shiliang revealed a proud expression: "It is truly an honor for us to be able to attend classes in the same classroom as a peerless genius like Young Master Zhou."

Chen Hui sighed, half-jokingly, "Luckily, Young Master Zhou didn't break through to the fourth rank directly, otherwise we would be so ashamed that we would want to crawl into a hole and hide."

Pei Ge couldn't help but sigh, "Young Master Zhou has the best talent among us, the best family background, and is the most hardworking. No wonder his beast taming skills have improved so quickly."

Nangong Cuiyi echoed, "Yes, yes..."

Zou Lei was extremely envious: "Moreover, Young Master Zhou also has the principal personally guiding him."

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhang Yunfeng flattered, "This further proves Zhou Shao's excellence."

Yan Shouzhen nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right..."

Everyone admired, even revered, Zhou Heng.

To them, Zhou Heng's rapid increase in strength was beyond that of ordinary people, which was only to be expected.

They had become numb to Zhou Heng's repeated record-breaking performances.

If Zhou Heng were only slightly stronger than them, they would have thought of catching up, but Zhou Heng is now far stronger than them.

Whether Zhou Heng's three beasts are at the third tier, ninth level, or third tier, tenth level, it makes absolutely no difference to these students who are only second-tier elite beast tamers, since they will never be able to catch up with Zhou Heng anyway.

As before, they all showered Zhou Heng with praise, extolling him to the skies.
