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

Li Lang carefully examined the potions in his hand: "How much did these two bottles cost?"

Zhou Heng casually said, "These two bottles are fifth-grade low-level, not expensive. They only cost 120 million in total, which is very affordable."

Li Lang was taken aback: "This isn't expensive?"

Zhou Heng said solemnly, "The Myriad Blessings Secret Realm is a ninth-tier secret realm, and its tokens are priceless treasures. No amount of Alliance Coins can compare to the tokens of the Myriad Blessings Secret Realm. Just take these two bottles of potions without worry, don't be polite with me."

Upon hearing this, Li Lang put the two bottles of fifth-tier potions into his storage watch.

He didn't express his gratitude in words, but simply kept Zhou Heng's kindness in his heart.

Zhou Heng then took out fifty bottles of third-tier potions and handed them to Li Lang.

After a slight hesitation, Li Lang, under Zhou Heng's insistence, had no choice but to put away the fifty bottles of third-tier potions.

Zhou Heng specifically instructed Li Lang to take these Tier 3 potions only after the Frost Bear King had advanced to Tier 3.

Generally speaking, it's okay for a beast tamer to occasionally take a potion that's significantly higher than their current level to increase their rank, but they shouldn't do this for too long, otherwise their body won't be able to handle it.

Those medicines that can be taken long-term are those of equivalent grade.

For example, a third-tier beast tamer can only take third-tier potions for extended periods of time.

Afterwards, the two chatted casually for a while.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Heng noticed a look of melancholy on Li Lang's face and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You seem preoccupied."

Li Lang grinned, then sighed softly, "You're about to break through to the fourth rank, while I haven't even broken through to the third rank yet. I still need your help. I feel the distance between us is getting bigger and bigger. Before, I could barely see your back, but now I can barely see your heels."

Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow: "You're unhappy about this?"

Li Lang shook his head: "I'm not unhappy. On the contrary, I'm very happy for you. The stronger you become, the happier I am. It's just a pity that I didn't work hard enough or study hard enough before, so I can't keep up with you now, and I can't fight alongside you or help you much. I regret that I was too lazy in the past."

Zhou Heng shrugged it off: "It's okay if you can't keep up, I'll carry you, won't I?"

Li Lang felt somewhat ashamed: "Wouldn't I just be a burden to you, not only unable to help you, but also holding you back?"

Zhou Heng's tone was firm, his gaze intense: "Who said that? Although you are not the strongest, nor the most talented, you are my best friend. Just for that, you have already surpassed countless others."

Li Lang's eyes welled up with tears: "Ah Heng, thank you."

He recalled the time he had spent with Zhou Heng over the years. From the very beginning, Zhou Heng had never looked down on him because of his status or position.

After awakening his talent, Zhou Heng surpassed him in every aspect and always treated him the same.

Meeting a close friend like Zhou Heng was his greatest fortune.

Zhou Heng smiled and put his arm around Li Lang's shoulder: "We're good brothers, no need for such formalities."

Li Lang took a deep breath: "You're right, we'll be brothers for life."

Zhou Heng nodded: "Definitely. No matter where we go in the future, this friendship will never change."

Li Lang nodded emphatically.

……

A day later, with Zhou Heng's help, Li Lang's Frost Bear King advanced to the first level of the third tier.

Li Lang became the second second-year student in his class at No. 3 Middle School to become a third-tier elite beast tamer.

Even within the entire Xuanxiao Star, his progress ranks fourth among his peers, only behind Zhou Heng, Shi Jingqi, and Wang Xuchen, three S-level geniuses.

During the subsequent midterm grade competition, everyone discovered that Fang Yushu, the top student in the senior year, had also advanced to the third tier, fourth level a couple of days ago.

Unfortunately, apart from him, only five or six other senior high school students advanced to the third tier.

The results of the college entrance examination for No. 3 Middle School next year are probably not very good.

In the second year of high school, Zhou Heng and Li Lang still firmly held the top two spots in the grade.

With his second-tier, seventh-level Azure Demon Tiger, Chen Hui surpassed Ji Chao and Li Shiliang for the first time, winning the third place in the grade.

Ji Chao ranked fourth in his grade, Li Shiliang fifth, Zhang Yunfeng sixth, and Gao Wenwu seventh.

Pei Ge, Zou Lei, Nangong Cuiyi, and Yan Shouzheng are ranked eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh in their grade, respectively.

He Hongmei is twenty-seven years old.

As for the top student in this year's first year of high school, he is an A-level talent named Xiao Luo. He is somewhat related to Tang Tianci, who was killed in an explosion a year ago, but the two are very distantly related by blood.

Xiao Luo's grandfather, a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer, was a cousin of Tang Tianci's maternal grandfather.

However, the two families separated decades ago and their relationship is not very good.

Xiao Luo was greatly favored by his grandfather and had a contract with a low-grade diamond-quality beast, starting at the first tier, tenth level, but at this moment he was only at the second tier, third level.

He is also the only second-tier senior beast tamer in the first year of high school.

The remaining first-year high school students, due to the relatively low quality of their contracted beasts and their lower starting point, are all only first-level apprentice beast tamers.

Therefore, Zhou Heng did not pay any attention to the other first-year high school students.

With the midterms over, it's another wonderful weekend.

After Zhou Heng's parents discovered that his three tamed beasts were on the verge of breaking through to the fourth rank, they immediately decided that once the three tamed beasts had completely broken through to the fourth rank, they would take leave and return to the Zhou family to begin the evolution ceremony for Fengyi Qingluan.

Zhou Heng readily agreed.

Sunday afternoon arrived in the blink of an eye, and everyone returned to school.

This weekend, Gao Wenwu advanced to the ninth level of the second tier, and He Hongmei advanced to the fifth level of the second tier.

Pei Ge, Zou Lei, Nangong Cuiyi, and Yan Shouzheng also advanced to the second tier, sixth level.

Zhou Heng didn't react much to this.

He simply congratulated Gao Wenwu and He Hongmei as a friend, and at the same time, as a class leader, he encouraged Pei Ge and the others, giving them more motivation.

……

On Monday, after the first theory class, Zhang Peng called out Zhou Heng, Li Lang, Gao Wenwu, Hongmei, and Chen Hui.

The group arrived at the foot of the teaching building, where many teachers from No. 3 Middle School, as well as members of the first-year and third-year advanced classes, were already waiting.

As for Ji Chao and the others, they were just auditors, and their talents were all below A-level, so naturally they couldn't go.

The newly appointed town garrison commander only allowed students with A-level talent or above to attend his welcome banquet, and only students in the Rocket Class at No. 3 Middle School had A-level talent or above.

Furthermore, among the current elite classes in the first, second, and third years of high school, only Zhou Heng possesses S-level talent.

Soon, the Moon Pelican descended from the sky, and with a flap of its wings, all the students of the Rocket Class were instantly teleported from the ground onto its back.

A group of teachers also flew up one after another.

The principal of No. 3 Middle School stood atop the Bright Moon Pelican and called out loudly, "Students, are you all seated securely?"

Everyone answered in unison, "Hold on tight."

"Let's set off then!" With the principal's order, the Bright Moon Pelican let out a clear and melodious cry, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky, flying towards the central area of ​​Xuanxiao City.
