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

"Feihong, Tyrant, come back," Zhou Heng called out.

The Silver Dragon of the Overturned Sea transformed back to a meter long and coiled on Zhou Heng's forearm, while the Eternal Night Demon Dragon shrank to the size of a palm and stood steadily on Zhou Heng's shoulder.

Zhou Heng then said, "Jiuxiao, let's go!"

"Hey!"

The Phoenix Azure Luan let out a clear and melodious cry, flapped its wings, creating a gust of wind, and its eighty-meter-long body transformed into a streak of azure light, carrying Zhou Heng away in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the vast sea of ​​clouds.

Only after the phoenix and the blue phoenix had completely disappeared did the fifty-year-old man finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

He straightened up, his back soaked with cold sweat.

"Third Grandpa! Why?!"

The young beast tamer, his face filled with grievance and anger, exclaimed urgently, "We expended tremendous effort to deal with the Soul-Crying Night Raven, tracking it for over twenty days. We all worked together to encircle and annihilate it, finally cornering it and almost succeeding! Why should someone else get the advantage? Your Bloodfeathered Horned Eagle desperately needs this same-attribute crystal core to break through to the seventh level of the fourth tier! Now that the core is gone, who knows when you'll find a suitable Soul-Crying Night Raven again? How long will your advancement to the seventh level of the fourth tier be delayed?"

The middle-aged man turned around, looked at the defiant young beast tamer, glanced at the other team members, and sighed heavily, his tone extremely somber: "Do you know who that young Master Zhou was?"

The young man muttered, "I don't care who he is! What right does he have to bully people?"

The middle-aged man suddenly raised his hand again, as if to strike: "Shut up! Don't you dare slander Young Master Zhou!"

"Third Grandfather, please speak properly, don't hit me!"

The young beast tamer quickly covered his head: "Who is he? Why are you so afraid of him? Just because he was on the news? What's so special about him? We were on the news before for hunting down three fourth-tier extraordinary creatures, weren't we?"

"What do you know! This is different! I always tell you to watch the news, but you never do. All you do is flirt with other women! You don't even recognize such an important person! He's Zhou Heng, the only son of Zhou Ting, the Deputy Director of Education at the Education Bureau!"

The middle-aged man lowered his voice, his tone tinged with lingering fear: "Do you know what this means? His parents could kill us with a flick of their fingers! How dare you be so arrogant in front of him?"

The young beast tamer felt a lingering fear, but he stubbornly retorted, "I thought he was some kind of genius, but it turns out he was just born into a good family!"

The middle-aged man sneered, "Even without such a background, we can't afford to offend him! Did you see that azure phoenix at his feet? That's at least a high-level diamond-quality beast! And that's not all, there were those two dragons that just killed the Soul-Crying Night Raven! The Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, both mid-level overlord-quality dragon beasts!"

He paused, giving the young beast tamer time to process the information, before continuing, "Do you know what's most terrifying? This Zhou Heng is only nineteen years old! Nineteen! All three of his beasts have already reached the peak of the third tier, tenth level! And their true combat strength is unfathomable! A fourth-tier, sixth-level Soul-Crying Night Raven, although injured by us, is not to be underestimated. Yet, it couldn't even last ten moves against his two mid-level overlord dragon-type beasts! Fourth-tier extraordinary creatures possess domain abilities, and their combat strength far surpasses that of third-tier beasts. To be able to defeat a fourth-tier beast while being only third-tier—what kind of skill is that? Do you think that with just the people here, plus my Bloodfeather Horned Eagle, we're even enough to fill the gaps between his two dragons' teeth?"

The young beast tamer's face gradually paled, but he still stubbornly said in a low voice, "But this is just too unfair! Why does he have everything from birth—family background, talent, resources, and top-tier beasts—he lacks nothing! While we work so hard, risking our lives, only to have to hand over the prey we painstakingly hunted..."

"fair?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, his tone filled with vicissitudes and helplessness: "You young man, you're already twenty-five, how can you still be as naive as a child? When has this world ever truly been fair?"

He gazed in the direction Zhou Heng had disappeared, and said softly, "Putting everything else aside, at least you and I have awakened our beast-taming talents, can contract beasts, and embark on this extraordinary path. Why don't you go to those ordinary people who don't even have a trace of beast-taming talent and can only live a mediocre life, and ask them if this world is fair?"

The young man opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't say anything. He just lowered his head dejectedly, clenched his fists tightly, and felt a mix of emotions.

On the back of the Bloodfeathered Horned Eagle, only the howling wind and a heavy silence remained for a moment.

……

In a forest clearing, clear stream water babbles by, crashing against smooth pebbles and making a pleasant, tinkling sound.

Zhou Heng sat leisurely on a flat, giant bluestone, with a bonfire in front of him, and several skewers of lean and fatty meat sizzling and dripping with oil.

Phoenix, Azure Phoenix, Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea, and Eternal Night Demon Dragon all transformed into miniature forms about one meter tall, nestled beside Zhou Heng.

Although the Phoenix and the Eternal Night Dragon didn't like barbecue, they were still willing to barbecue with Zhou Heng.

Golden drops of fat dripped into the fire, igniting small flames. The rich aroma of meat, mixed with the fragrance of special spices, filled the humid air, making the Silver Dragon of the Sea drool.

Seeing the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea in such a state, Zhou Heng couldn't help but smile.

He picked up a skewer of grilled meat and was about to put it into the mouth of the Overturning Silver Dragon when a sudden change occurred.

hum!

A buzzing sound, seemingly emanating from the depths of the soul, came without warning from the very depths of the Xuanxiao Mountains.

Immediately afterwards, an incredibly thick, dazzling, and magnificent green beam of light, like a giant sword supporting the heavens and the earth, forcefully broke through the layers of mountains and dense forests, piercing straight into the sky.

The green light was pure and intense, and could be clearly seen even from thousands of kilometers away, without any obstruction.

Even more remarkably, an indescribable surge of spiritual energy instantly spread throughout the entire Xuanxiao Mountain Range, invigorating everyone's spirits.

Zhou Heng's sharp gaze fell upon the pillar of light, and he blurted out, "A treasure has been born?"

"Hey!"

With a cry, the phoenix-like blue luan instantly returned to its original size of eighty meters. With a flap of its wings, a cloud of five-colored smoke enveloped the surroundings, isolating the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the green light pillar.

The Silver Dragon of the Sea and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon also returned to their original sizes.

"hold head high!"

The 120-meter-long silver dragon coiled in mid-air, giving Zhou Heng a great sense of security.

"Aww!"

The ninety-meter-tall Eternal Night Dragon spread its wings and bared its teeth at the area where the green pillar of light was rising.

Zhou Heng immediately made a decision: "Jiuxiao, Feihong, Tyrant, we should leave this place of trouble."
