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

After parting ways with the ancient master, Feng Yi Qing Luan's speed increased dramatically, and in just a short while, the majestic outline of Xuanxiao City appeared on the horizon.

Zhou Heng presented his credentials, and the city gates opened instantly. Feng Yi Qing Luan flew straight into the city.

Suddenly, Zhou's father said to Zhou Heng and Zhou's mother, "You two go back first, I need to go to the garrison headquarters."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng asked with some confusion, "Dad, what are you going to the garrison headquarters for?"

Father Zhou's expression turned slightly solemn as he explained, "The Xuanxiao Mountains have been relatively quiet for many years. Now, suddenly, two peak sixth-tier extraordinary beings have created such a large-scale disturbance. Although their target isn't directly aimed at our human cities, this matter could be serious or minor. After all, I am the Deputy Director of Education at the Ministry of Education and also receive a stipend from the Garrison Command. It is only right and proper that I go and tell the Grand Prefect about what we have seen and heard in the Xuanxiao Mountains, especially the anomalies of the green light pillar, to see how he and Commander Xu decide to proceed."

Zhou Heng nodded in agreement: "Dad is right. We should indeed inform the garrison headquarters about this so they can take precautions."

Zhou's father said no more, and a blue light emanated from between his eyebrows, summoning the Night Peacock.

Zhou's father flew onto the back of the Yao Ye Peacock, which then activated its spatial teleportation and headed straight for the garrison headquarters.

Zhou Heng and his mother continued riding on the back of the Phoenix and Azure Luan, returning to their manor in the Linghu District.

……

A day later, at the Zhou family manor, inside the giant training hall that belonged exclusively to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng stood on a high platform, watching his three tamed beasts demonstrate the results of their training over the past period.

"Hey!"

With a flap of its wings, the Phoenix Azure Luan unleashed countless one-meter-long azure cross-shaped wind blades, which poured down like a torrential downpour, slicing through thousands of moving targets of magical treasure quality in the distance, leaving sparks flying and deep marks.

This is another way to use Phoenix Wing Slash, suitable for group attacks.

"hold head high!"

The Silver Dragon of the Sea spiraled into the sky, spewing out a stream of silver water containing extreme cold. Wherever it passed, the temperature plummeted, the air froze, and the northwest corner of the training ground instantly turned into a world of ice crystals.

The Raging Tide can also change its form when cast, causing simple waves to freeze.

After all, water comes in many forms.

"roar!"

The Eternal Night Dragon was the most ferocious. Instead of using a powerful skill directly, it raised its giant claw covered in dark scales and slammed it down. The claw's wind tore through the air, carrying an aura of annihilation, and directly turned the fifty-meter-tall humanoid target into fragments.

Wisps of purple mist still lingered at the edges of these fragments, but before they could even hit the ground, they were eroded into ashes.

These days, under Zhou Heng's guidance, the Eternal Night Dragon has been consciously honing its melee combat skills.

Zhou Heng discovered that although the Eternal Night Dragon had many skills, they were too flashy and complicated, and sometimes it was better to just charge in and fight it hand-to-hand.

Moreover, Zhou Heng's classes at school weren't for nothing; he wanted to find different roles for the three beast tamers so that they could cooperate better.

When Zhou Heng was in charge, he positioned Fuhai Yinlong as a powerful offensive mage, Yongye Molong as a tanky warrior, and Fengyi Qingluan as a ranged support.

However, this is just a preliminary idea and will be adjusted later.

One is that these three beasts will evolve again, and their abilities will be enhanced after the evolution. The other is that Zhou Heng will contract more beasts in the future, so he must be flexible and adaptable in his plans.

The combined combat power of multiple tamed beasts will be even greater.

This is also a required course for advanced beast tamers.

However, high school students generally don't need to study these things in depth; they only formally research them at the university level.

Because Zhou Heng's progress is much faster than that of ordinary high school students, he has already begun to consciously or unconsciously learn some knowledge that should be studied in college.

Zhou Heng carefully observed the effects of the three beasts' skills, such as the speed of energy condensation and the precision of control, and occasionally transmitted adjustment commands through the soul contract.

Under Zhou Heng's training, the three beasts made rapid progress and excelled in all aspects.

Several hours later, Zhou Heng stopped the three beasts, took out a large amount of food and rare herbs to feed them, and let them rest for a while. He also interacted with the three beasts for a while.

Balancing work and rest has always been Zhou Heng's principle.

A moment later, the butler, Old Huang, led Li Lang in quickly.

Li Lang's face showed obvious urgency. Upon seeing Zhou Heng, he immediately stepped forward and asked with great concern, "Ah Heng, you returned from your training in the Xuanxiao Mountains the day before yesterday. Did you encounter any danger?"

Zhou Heng waved for the three beasts to go play and frolic to the side, then he looked at Li Lang, somewhat puzzled: "What danger? I'm fine."

"You came back the day before yesterday, right?" Li Lang confirmed.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow.

"You need to check the news! Something terrible has happened!"

Li Lang's tone was tinged with lingering fear: "Just the day before yesterday, the day you returned, a pillar of light shot into the sky from the depths of the Xuanxiao Mountains. Many beast tamers who were hunting in the Xuanxiao Mountains at the time thought it was the appearance of an extraordinary treasure, and they all rushed into the core area of ​​the mountains! In the end, everyone was deceived!"

Zhou Heng's eyes flickered slightly, signaling him to continue.

Li Lang took a deep breath, a look of lingering fear on his face: "There was no treasure at all! It was actually a trap set by two peak sixth-tier extraordinary creatures from the Xuanxiao Mountains, the Moon-Hiding Demon Willow and the Sun-Covering Demon Vine! A terrifying trap!"

Zhou Heng pressed further, "What exactly happened?"

After returning home that day, he stopped paying attention to the matter.

Although he already knew the general situation, he was not clear about the details.

"After luring the beast tamers and extraordinary creatures away, the Moon-Hidden Demon Willow and Sun-Covering Demon Vine immediately revealed their fangs!"

Li Lang's voice trembled slightly: "In the Xuanxiao Mountains, besides those two, there were five other sixth-tier extraordinary creatures. In the end, three died and two were seriously injured!"

Zhou Heng found it strange: "The Moon-Hidden Demon Willow and the Sun-Covering Demon Vine are peak sixth-tier extraordinary beings. The other five sixth-tier extraordinary beings also have a peak sixth-tier being, so it's normal that their strength is inferior. But a full-scale battle between seven sixth-tier extraordinary beings with planet-destroying power should theoretically create a huge commotion, alerting the entire planet. How come we didn't detect their battle at all in Xuanxiao City? Could it be that it was blocked by the protective array barrier around the city?"

Li Lang explained, "The Moon-Covering Demon Willow and the Sun-Covering Demon Vine cooperated very well. One used the Sky-Covering Vine Net to trap all the Beast Tamers and Extraordinary Creatures that entered the core area of ​​the Xuanxiao Mountains, while the other went all out to harvest them. All the aftershocks of the battle were blocked by the Sky-Covering Vine Net, which is why Xuanxiao City did not notice anything unusual."

Zhou Heng's eyes narrowed: "The other five sixth-tier extraordinary creatures didn't fare well either, so what about the many beast tamers who went to hunt in the Cloud Soaring Mountains...?"
