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

Zhou Heng felt the cold scales of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and smiled, "Fei Hong, can you talk to me directly now?"

Diamond Beastmasters can only speak human language at the fifth rank, while Overlord Beastmasters can do so at the fourth rank.

The Silver Dragon of the Overturning Sea raised its head: "Hello, my contracted partner."

Its voice is like that of a human boy, yet magnetic, which is consistent with the characteristics of a dragon taming beast during its growth period.

Zhou Heng and Fu Hai Yinlong looked at each other: "My name is Yu Heng. This is my name in my family. In my eyes, you are also my family, so you can call me by this name as well."

The Silver Dragon of the Sea roamed over Zhou Heng's wrist: "Since we are family, may I call you father?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Of course."

He liked this title very much because he truly regarded the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea, the Azure Phoenix, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon as his children.

The Silver Dragon of the Sea blinked its blue eyes: "Yes, Father."

Zhou Heng asked with concern, "How are you feeling now?"

The Silver Dragon of the Sea looked at Zhou Heng and said, "I feel great. After advancing to the fourth rank, my connection with you, Father, has become stronger, my strength has increased, and my intelligence has reached the level of an ordinary human. This has made my understanding of this world much clearer."

Zhou Heng held the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea in his hands: "As your family, I am very happy about this."

Fu Hai Yin Long nuzzled Zhou Heng's thumb with its head: "Thank you, Father."

Zhou Heng beamed, "Fei Hong, there's no need for thanks between us, because beast tamers and their beasts are the closest of relationships in the world."

The Silver Dragon of the Sea wagged its tail: "Yes, Father."

Zhou Heng asked, "Would you like to go back inside the Ring of All Rivers to rest?"

Fu Haiyinlong's blue eyes were as clear as lake water: "I don't really want to for now. I like the outside world, and I want to stay with my father forever."

Zhou Heng naturally wouldn't refuse the request from the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon.

He interacted with Fu Hai Yin Long for a while longer, then took out his communicator and opened it to find that he was in the news again.

The news of his advancement to the fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer has already spread throughout the entire Xuanxiao Star, and it will probably keep many people up at night.

Not long after, Ji Chao arrived outside the small villa.

He also learned that Zhou Heng had been promoted to the fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer.

Upon meeting Zhou Heng, Ji Chao first congratulated him and then presented him with a storage bracelet: "Young Master Zhou, this is a small gift. Please don't find it offensive. This will be the same every year from now on."

Zhou Heng asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing?"

Ji Chao's knees buckled, and he knelt directly in front of Zhou Heng: "Young Master Zhou, let's not beat around the bush, I want to follow you, even if it's to be your dog, I'm willing."

Zhou Heng remained noncommittal: "That depends on your performance."

Ji Chao said loudly, "Young Master Zhou, please rest assured, from now on I will do whatever you ask me to do, even if it means going through fire and water."

Zhou Heng glanced at Ji Chao: "If you can get into university in the college entrance exam, I'll officially accept you as a student. If you can't even do that, you might as well go cool off somewhere else!"

Ji Chao quickly replied, "Young Master Zhou, I will definitely get into university! It's just that I might only be able to get into a third-tier university, so I won't be able to go to the same school as you."

Zhou Heng's gaze was utterly indifferent: "If you want to use my name to intimidate and expand your influence, you'd better let me see your worth first, do you understand?"

Ji Chao was overjoyed: "Thank you for your guidance, Young Master Zhou. I will definitely not let you down."

Zhou Heng waved his hand: "Alright, you can go now."

"Yes!" Ji Chao kowtowed respectfully before leaving.

His face was full of smiles; he had finally managed to hold onto this powerful patron.

Zhou Heng's expression remained unchanged; he knew exactly what Ji Chao wanted.

Since Ji Chao has come to him of his own accord, he won't be polite. He'll naturally need Ji Chao's help in the future.

Whether Ji Chao can benefit from him depends on Ji Chao's own abilities.

If Ji Chao really has the means, it wouldn't be unreasonable to reward him with some leftovers.

However, Zhou Heng didn't have much hope for Ji Chao, since Ji Chao was only a B-level talent and was destined not to achieve anything great in the future.

He then scanned the storage bracelet that Ji Chao had given him with his mental power and found that it was filled with treasures, worth at least hundreds of billions of Alliance Coins.

This is definitely not something that Ji Chao, an ordinary rich second-generation, could produce; it must have been Ji Chao's grandfather, the chairman of Baoxiang Group, who made the move.

The meaning is quite simple: from now on, not only Ji Chao, but the entire Ji family, plus the entire Baoxiang Group, are willing to pledge allegiance to Zhou Heng, serve him faithfully, and follow his lead.

Zhou Heng didn't take it to heart.

The strongest member of the Baoxiang Group is only a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer, who cannot affect the overall situation and is better than nothing.

He picked up the communicator and told Zhou's father about it.

Mr. Zhou immediately took on the task.

From now on, Zhou Heng will only need to collect the resources sent by Baoxiang Group every year.

As for the rest of the mundane affairs, Zhou's father would assign someone to handle them for him.

……

On the other side, the old servant of the Ji family saw Ji Chao walk out of Zhou Heng's villa and hurriedly went to greet him: "Young Master, is our Ji family really going to completely submit to Young Master Zhou?"

Ji Chao was very impatient: "What do you want to say? At this point, you still can't see the situation clearly? Young Master Zhou, this young dragon, has already begun to take off. Now is the last chance. If we don't seize it, the Ji family will have no hope for the future."

The old servant sighed, "I just feel really bad. Before, Captain Ge from the police station, Director Lin from the provincial administration, and Chief Justice Feng from the judicial commission all tried to win over the Ji family, but the chairman managed to avoid them all by using their influence. He didn't offend these three, nor did he completely sway the Ji family to their side. Now, in the end, he still couldn't hold on to his principles and has turned to someone else."

Ji Chao scoffed: "What's a bottom line? Can it make the Ji family earn hundreds of millions more? Can it produce a sixth-tier commander beast tamer for the Ji family? Baoxiang Group is becoming more and more prosperous, making more and more money. Commander Ge, Director Lin, and Dean Feng have long been unable to hold back. If they don't side with Young Master Zhou, what other options do they have? At least Young Master Zhou has the Divine Dragon Zhou Family behind him, so they won't take Baoxiang Group too seriously, nor will they directly take advantage of them. That's already a blessing."

The old maid stared into Ji Chao's eyes: "But young master, what should I do if one day Young Master Zhou asks us to risk our lives?"

Ji Chao remained clear-headed: "What else can we do? We can only risk our lives! Although Commander Ge, Director Lin, and Dean Feng are sixth-tier Beast Tamers, they are not from aristocratic families. Above them are a garrison commander, two deputy garrison commanders, and the president of the Beast Tamer Guild's Xuanxiao branch. Grandpa can still find a way to deal with them. But Young Master Zhou is different. Since we have already pledged allegiance to Young Master Zhou, we cannot have any disloyalty, or we will only face certain death."

The old servant lowered her head: "I understand."

Ji Chao snorted coldly: "Don't wear that mournful face. Being able to serve Young Master Zhou is actually an honor for the entire Ji family..."
