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

Zhang Peng waited until everyone had praised Zhou Heng before speaking, "Alright, Zhou Heng's abilities are beyond your reach, but don't let that discourage you. Not to mention you, even the strongest geniuses among the four top beast-taming high schools in the East Alliance can't compare to Zhou Heng, so you don't need to feel inferior."

Li Lang grinned: "Don't worry, teacher. We know the gap between ourselves and Aheng. We don't dare to compare ourselves to Aheng, but we are confident in our ability to compare ourselves to others."

The others quickly echoed this sentiment.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng continued, "The principal went to Yuandu with Mu Xuezheng during the summer vacation for an inspection and only returned a couple of days ago. According to the information the principal received, in your graduating class, apart from Zhou Heng, only four people in the entire Dongxie have contracted with beasts of the Overlord quality. Among these four, the one with the highest beast-taming level is named Yan Haosen, who comes from the Fire Phoenix Yan family, one of the four top families, and is still quite far behind Zhou Heng."

Zhou Heng's expression didn't change at all upon hearing this; it was just something he had expected.

In fact, if Zhou Heng hadn't poured all the accumulated Spirit Source Points from the Spirit Source Pearl into Feng Yi Qing Luan and instead shared some with Fu Hai Yin Long and Yong Ye Mo Long, Fu Hai Yin Long and Yong Ye Mo Long would probably have already advanced to the fourth rank, and the gap between Yan Haosen and Zhou Heng would definitely be even greater.

But Zhou Heng was not in a hurry, because the Phoenix Azure Phoenix would soon advance to the fourth rank and then evolve into the mid-level overlord quality Rainbow Wing Azure Phoenix.

At that time, Zhou Heng will distribute the accumulated Spirit Source Points from the Spirit Source Pearl equally among his three Beast Tamers.

Zhou Heng couldn't be sure how fast a mid-level overlord's beast taming ability would grow with the help of spirit source points, but it would definitely be astonishing.

As a result, the gap between Zhou Heng and Yan Haosen will widen further, and Yan Haosen will become just like these students from No. 3 Middle School, left far behind by Zhou Heng.

Ji Chao's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration: "Young Master Zhou is indeed the most powerful. Even the prodigies of the top families cannot compare with him."

Standing beside Zhou Heng, Li Lang was filled with pride: "Of course! Aheng is the heir nurtured by the Shenlong Zhou family and the Jinwu Li family with all their might. The Shenlong Zhou family and the Jinwu Li family have profound foundations, and when they join forces, they are no weaker than the top families."

Chen Hui was extremely envious: "No wonder Young Master Zhou is so powerful."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "You students are also very good. I'm just a little faster than you on the path of beast taming."

Li Shiliang flattered, "Young Master Zhou, you didn't just go a little fast, you practically traveled directly by starship!"

Zhang Peng's eyes were filled with satisfaction: "Zhou Heng, the principal and I are both looking forward to your performance in the college entrance examination."

Zhou Heng said firmly, "I will definitely live up to my teacher's expectations."

Zhang Peng smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Zhou Heng.

Then, under Zhang Peng's guidance, everyone began training their combat skills in beast taming.

Tuesday passed quickly, and on Wednesday, Zhou Heng went to the Changsheng Training Center to receive special training from the principal of No. 3 Middle School together with Fang Yushu.

After a summer vacation, Zhou Heng moved up to the second year of high school, and Fang Yushu naturally moved up to the third year.

However, Fang Yushu's Illusory Light Butterfly was still at the third tier, third level, and its growth rate was completely incomparable to Zhou Heng's three beasts, so the gap in combat power was even greater.

The main target of the Thunder-Patterned Stone Turtle's feeding was Zhou Heng, while Fang Yushu was just there to make up the numbers.

……

On Thursday, a new batch of first-year high school students awakened their talents.

Li Lang's younger brother was also inside.

During the lunch break, Zhou Heng summoned the Phoenix Azure Phoenix and sent it flying high into the sky. He and Li Lang stood on the Phoenix Azure Phoenix's back, watching from afar as the new students officially awakened their talents.

Li Lang stared at the dense crowd and said to Zhou Heng beside him, "I wonder how many good talents will emerge this year."

Zhou Heng remained calm: "It's hard to say."

Li Lang then asked, "Do you think any S-level talents will emerge from No. 3 Middle School this year?"

Zhou Heng speculated, "There's a possibility, but I think the probability is low. After all, last year we had two S-level talents, Liu Yao and I. If another one comes along this year, No. 3 Middle School would be incredibly lucky."

Li Lang's tone was enigmatic: "Speaking of Liu Yao, I wonder what's become of his Qingyang Society. I've heard that the Qingyang Society is particularly terrifying; the beast tamers there have no protection whatsoever. Anyone who offends one of the protectors or deacons is killed without hesitation."

Zhou Heng said firmly, "Impossible. This is all just hearsay used to scare people. The Qingyang Society's style of doing things is indeed rather extreme, and the competition is quite brutal, but the Qingyang Society has a complete promotion system and reward and punishment system. Otherwise, no one would risk their life for the Qingyang Society. Moreover, Liu Yao has S-level talent. He would be considered a talent anywhere. Even if he went to the Qingyang Society, he wouldn't start from the bottom as a lowly soldier."

Li Lang suddenly realized: "You know more."

Zhou Heng asked, "Did Uncle Li come today?"

Li Lang pointed and said, "They're here. They're standing right behind my brother."

On the high platform below, the principal of No. 3 Middle School kept calling out names.

One student after another went up on stage. Most of their awakened talents were quite ordinary, emitting only very faint F-grade red light, E-grade orange light, D-grade yellow light, and C-grade green light.

Grade B cyan light and Grade A blue light are also extremely rare.

As for the purple beams of light that represent S-level talents, there haven't been any for so long.

Li Lang's thoughts raced: "When we awakened our talents last year, didn't those senior high school students and graduates look at us in the same way?"

Zhou Heng didn't seem to care: "It should be about the same."

Li Lang nudged Zhou Heng's arm and chuckled, "I heard that our No. 3 Middle School enrolled more than 50,000 students this year, and many of them came because of your reputation as the number one genius of Xuanxiao Star."

Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow: "Is my reputation that great? Suddenly I have 20,000 more people?"

Li Lang beamed: "Of course, you are a prominent figure on our Xuanxiao Star! Moreover, most parents don't understand the ins and outs of this. They only see that you have already cultivated your Beast Taming to the third level and tenth stage when you are just in your second year of high school, so they naturally think that the teaching quality of No. 3 Middle School is particularly good, which is why No. 3 Middle School has more students."

"So that's how it is." Zhou Heng didn't take the matter to heart at all.

The principal of the Third Middle School continued reading: "Li Shuang, Tao Ling..."

Li Lang revealed a hint of excitement: "Finally, it's my brother's turn."

Zhou Heng looked around and focused his gaze on a stylishly dressed young man.

Finally, a thin orange light appeared above his head.

This means that Li Lang's younger brother, Li Shuang, has only awakened an E-level talent, which is slightly better than an F-level talent.

Li's father didn't even glance at Li Lang's younger brother, and without saying a word, he turned and flew away.
