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

Zhou Heng frowned: "In that case, wouldn't Commander Xu only be able to choose the more difficult Fiery Lion King path?"

A complex smile appeared on Zhou's father's lips: "The evolution ritual of the Blazing Sun Lion King is clearly a trap. Not to mention that it requires a full 2,500 kinds of sixth-tier spiritual objects and 120 kinds of seventh-tier spiritual objects, the resource requirements far exceed those of the War Soul Lion King. Just the condition of devouring a thousand suns is something that no ordinary sixth-tier commander beast tamer can do."

In this era, although it is possible to create artificial suns, it still requires considerable effort, and each artificial sun belongs to the Alliance.

Given Commander Xu's status, finding a way to devour one or two suns wouldn't be a big deal, but devouring a thousand suns would be extremely difficult, unless a large family like the Zhou family of the Divine Dragon could vouch for him.

However, the aristocratic families originally intended to limit the number of seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers, and under normal circumstances, they would not vouch for him at all.

Therefore, Commander Xu's path to advancement has reached a stalemate.

However, this has nothing to do with Zhou Heng.

Although Commander Xu and his parents could be considered friends, that was all.

Essentially, the interactions between the two parties are nothing more than for mutual benefit.

Mother Zhou sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. He only has S-rank talent, not SS-rank. If he had SS-rank talent, even if he came from a commoner background, once his talent awakened, he could directly obtain a hegemon-quality beast cub for a contract. His future advancement to a seventh-tier lord would be practically a certainty. Why would he need to go through all this trouble, running around begging for a hegemon-quality beast?"

Seeing that Zhou Heng seemed to still be pondering, Zhou's father waved his hand, ending the topic: "Alright, my good son, you don't need to worry too much about Commander Xu's matter. Your mother and I know how to handle this relationship, and we will handle it well."

Zhou Heng nodded, turning his gaze away from the distance: "Okay, Dad, I understand."

Zhou's mother walked to Zhou Heng's side, her tone unusually solemn: "My dear son, what your father and I told you today, you should keep to yourself. But never tell any of it to ordinary beast tamers. These truths are too cruel; if they get out, they could easily shake people's hearts and even cause unnecessary trouble. Remember, some things can be done, but not said. Of course, with the power of our Zhou and Li families, even if you did tell, it wouldn't be a big deal."

"Dad, Mom, don't worry." Zhou Heng met his mother's gaze, his eyes clear and firm.

He nodded seriously: "Since I was born into a prominent family and enjoy everything that comes with it, I will naturally prioritize the interests of the family and take it as my responsibility to maintain the stability of the existing order. I know what I should say and what I shouldn't say, and I will never speak recklessly outside."

If Zhou Heng had been born into a poor family in this life, he would definitely rebel against the powerful families and the unjust world after he became stronger. But unfortunately, he was born into a powerful family in this life, so even after he becomes stronger, he will still choose to maintain the status quo and uphold the rule of the powerful families.

Because Zhou Heng didn't have any lofty sentiments; on a spiritual level, he was just an ordinary person, a common man.

He will not betray his origins, nor will he let down the clansmen who have done everything in their power to support him.

Looking at Zhou Heng's sensible and composed demeanor, Zhou's father smiled with satisfaction and said in a tone full of praise, "Good, good son, you are so sensible."

……

On Saturday night, in the small training hall of the Zhou family manor, Zhou Heng summoned the Phoenix Azure Phoenix, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon.

Four months have passed since the last time the Spirit Source Pearl was used to upgrade the Phoenix Azure Phoenix's level, and the Spirit Source Pearl has accumulated more than 120 Spirit Source Points.

He wanted to try and see if he could use these 120-plus spirit source points to raise Fengyi Qingluan's level to the fourth rank.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Jiuxiao, I will continue to improve your strength."

"唳~~"

Phoenix and Azure Phoenix were overjoyed.

Just then, the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon rushed over.

Both of them shrank to a size of one meter, one wrapping around Zhou Heng's wrist and the other hugging his arm.

Zhou Heng asked, puzzled, "Feihong, you tyrant, what are you doing?"

"Awooo~ Awooo~" "Awooo~ Awooo~"

Both the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon looked at Zhou Heng eagerly, as they also wanted to become stronger quickly.

Zhou Heng explained helplessly, "Didn't I tell you before? First, help Jiu Xiao advance to the fourth rank, and then Jiu Xiao can evolve into the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, reaching the same mid-level overlord quality as you."

"Awooo~ Awooo~" "Awooo~ Awooo~"

No matter how Zhou Heng tried to persuade them, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon wouldn't let go of their claws, just like two little children who insisted that their parents buy them candied hawthorns.

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and realized he couldn't show favoritism. He immediately said, "Alright, alright, since you can't wait, I'll improve your strength together. Let go of my hand first, and after I've helped Jiu Xiao improve his strength, I'll help you improve yours."

"Ugh~~" "Aww~~"

Overjoyed at Zhou Heng's assurance, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon immediately released their grip on Zhou Heng's hand.

Zhou Heng separated ninety colorful spirit source points, then put two fingers together and gently tapped Feng Yi Qing Luan. All the silver-level energy points converted from the spirit source points were injected into Feng Yi Qing Luan's body.

Silver light flashed in Fengyi Qingluan's eyes, then surged and spread throughout her body, her aura visibly increasing.

Ultimately, although Fengyi Qingluan did not directly advance to the fourth rank, her aura fluctuated, teetering on the verge of breaking through at any moment.

Judging from the looks of it, Fengyi Qingluan will fully enter the fourth rank within ten days at most.

Under normal circumstances, without the help of the Spirit Source Pearl, it would take at least half a year for Fengyi Qingluan to reach the fourth rank.

The Spirit Source Pearl saved Zhou Heng a lot of time.

"Awooo~~" "Awooo~~"

Seeing this, the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon became even more impatient.

Zhou Heng then said, "Come on! It's your turn. Fei Hong, you start by restoring your original body shape."

The Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea immediately returned to its original length of 120 meters, and Zhou Heng communicated with the Spirit Source Pearl again.

Since ninety spirit source points were just distributed to Fengyi and Qingluan, there are still more than thirty spirit source points left in the spirit source pearl.

Zhou Heng immediately separated half of it, which was fifteen spiritual source points, and transformed them into silver-level energy points, which were then injected into the body of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon.

In an instant, the eyes of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon also surged with silver light, and then its whole body shone with silver light.

In the blink of an eye, the aura of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon also increased, reaching a level similar to that of the Phoenix Azure Phoenix. It was also just one step away from the fourth rank and could successfully advance within ten days.

Although the amount of silver energy points injected into the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon was relatively small, the effect of the silver energy points was naturally better because the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon's bloodline quality was higher than that of the Phoenix Azure Phoenix.

It took the Phoenix Azure Luan ninety strikes to reach the point of almost breaking through to the fourth rank, while the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon only needed fifteen strikes to achieve the same effect. This is the power of the Overlord's Beast Taming.
