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

After Zhou's father had the steward escort Commander Xu out, he asked, "My dear son, do you want to apply to Hanyue University in the future?"

Zhou's mother smiled and said, "Although you are only a sophomore in high school, it will be beneficial for you to think things through early."

Zhou Heng casually asked, "Mom and Dad, which university do you think I should choose in the future?"

Father Zhou said solemnly, "Choose Hanyue! Ancestor Wanbao and the two vice-principals of Hanyue University are old acquaintances. As for the current president of Hanyue University, Rongtu Wang, he is from the Zhang family of the Heavenly Serpent. As you know, your maternal grandmother is from the Zhang family of the Heavenly Serpent. In terms of blood relation, you are also related to Rongtu Wang and should call him Ancestor. So no matter how you look at it, you should go to Hanyue University."

Zhou's mother explained, "Although we do have connections at Yaori University, we're not as close as we are to Hanyue University."

Zhou Heng's thoughts coincided with his parents': "How many departments does Hanyue University have?"

Father Zhou rattled off the list as if it were his own treasure: "Hanyue University has seven colleges in total: the College of Trainers, the College of Pharmacists, the College of Blacksmiths, the College of Comprehensive Theory, the College of War Guards, the College of Teacher Training, and the College of Literature and History. The dean of each college is a top-tier seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer, and each has their own specialties. As for the departments under the colleges, there are too many to count. And the related majors are countless."

A Beast Taming University typically has several colleges, each college has several departments, and each department has several majors, making the division very detailed.

In this respect, it is similar to an ordinary university from 6,500 years ago.

Zhou Heng asked with some curiosity, "Which of the seven colleges at Hanyue University is the best? And which one should I choose?"

Mr. Zhou shrugged: "Different colleges have different focuses; there's no inherent superiority or inferiority. Besides, this is a major decision for your future, and we will only offer advice, not hinder your decision."

Zhou Heng picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea into each of his parents' cups: "Mom and Dad, tell me about the different colleges first!"

Zhou's father and mother immediately gave Zhou Heng a detailed account of the seven colleges of Hanyue University.

The Breeder Academy is headed by a master-level breeder who has experimented with three entirely new evolutionary paths to cultivate beasts to master quality. The academy is almost entirely comprised of breeders.

The Pharmacist Academy is headed by an eighth-level pharmacist, and almost everyone in the academy is a pharmacist.

The Dean of the Forging Academy is an eighth-level forging master.

The Dean of the Comprehensive Theory Academy married into the Huo family, one of the four top families, and is himself a seventh-level pharmacist, a seventh-level blacksmith, and a nurturer. He has also created a dominant evolutionary path.

The Dean of Zhanwei Academy is a member of the Qiongqi Meng family and has defeated numerous seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers. Even after becoming dean, he hasn't changed his battle maniac nature, enjoying leading students to hunt extraordinary creatures in the wild. The vice-deans and instructors of this academy are basically the same type.

The dean of the teachers' college came from humble beginnings. After establishing his family, he successively taught five seventh-tier beast tamers from poor families.

The College of Literature and History is headed by a handsome and erudite dean who is on good terms with the current patriarch of the Tianhu Su family. This college only admits handsome men and beautiful women and those with exceptional talent. It is the top choice for many students from well-off families, but whose natural talents are not top-tier.

"If you want to apply to the War Guard Academy, after you graduate from university, we will arrange for you to work as a captain in the police stations of those first-level planets."

Zhou's mother had already planned everything for Zhou Heng: "If you want to apply to a teacher's college and stay on as a tutor after graduation, we'll help you with that. If you want to leave university and teach at a beast-taming high school, we can arrange for you to become the principal of one of the top four beast-taming high schools. You can even take over your father's job at the Education Bureau if you want."

"As for the Comprehensive Theory Academy, this is the one we most recommend you go to, because your maternal grandfather and the dean of the Comprehensive Theory Academy are close friends despite their age difference. Once you go there, you can directly ask him to be your mentor. This person is very likely to advance to the eighth-level Monarch Beastmaster in the future."

Zhou's father echoed, "If you like the School of Literature and History, we will support you. After graduation, you can return to the family and take over from your fourth uncle as the next head of the family."

Zhou Heng didn't speak; he was thinking.

Zhou's mother suddenly turned serious: "As for the Academy of Trainers, the Academy of Pharmacists, and the Academy of Blacksmiths, our advice is to choose carefully."

Zhou Heng asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Mother Zhou sighed, "Because being a breeder, pharmacist, or blacksmith is a secondary profession for beast tamers, it's very difficult to achieve anything significant. I chose the path of pharmacist out of interest, and with the help of my family, almost twenty years have passed, and I'm still only a fourth-tier pharmacist."

Mr. Zhou added, "Actually, with enough resources invested, it's not difficult to achieve some success in the three secondary professions. For example, your mother's fourth-tier pharmacist is already quite impressive on a weaker planet. The only downside is that researching these things takes too much time."

"My dear son, to be honest, the family hopes that you can advance to the seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer as soon as possible, and then stand on your own. Moreover, you have a very good chance of advancing to the eighth-tier monarch beast tamer, or even the ninth-tier emperor beast tamer."

Zhou's mother spoke gently, her tone full of affection: "Our two ancestors are getting old, and the future of the family needs your support. But if you really want to go to the Incubator Academy, the Pharmacist Academy, or the Blacksmith Academy, we won't object, and the family will also use a lot of resources to nurture you."

Zhou Heng said directly, "Since the dean of the Comprehensive Theory Academy and my grandfather are close friends despite their age difference, and I don't have any particular preference, I will naturally choose my major from the Comprehensive Academy in the future."

Zhou's mother quickly said, "My dear son, there are still one year and eight months until your college entrance examination. You don't need to rush to make a decision. You can take your time to think about it."

Zhou's father patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder and encouraged him, "No matter what choice you make, we and the family will support you. After you go to university, you can confidently choose the research direction you like."

Zhou Heng's eyes brightened: "Mom and Dad, I understand what you mean, and I will seriously consider it."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng took out his communicator and contacted Li Lang, Gao Wenwu, and others, telling them that he needed to take a long leave and return to Yuandu.

They had a good relationship with Zhou Heng, so they naturally knew that Zhou Heng was going back to evolve the Phoenix Azure Phoenix into the Colorful Winged Azure Phoenix. They all congratulated Zhou Heng in advance on the communicator.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhou had already made arrangements for the affairs of the Zhou family manor.

So after breakfast, the family of three, along with their two assassins Feng Zhong and Feng Yong, stepped into the space tunnel and returned to Yuandu in the blink of an eye.
