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

Zhou Heng flew from beside the Sun and Moon Wutong Tree to the front of the family members.

He held a shrunken version of the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix in his arms, a shrunken version of the Eternal Night Demon Dragon perched on his shoulder, and a shrunken version of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon coiled around his wrist.

The colorful-winged phoenix pressed its head against Zhou Heng's face, showing great affection.

Zhou Heng's relatives all showed joy at this scene.

Mr. Zhou stepped forward, his eyes filled with barely suppressed pride and admiration: "My good son! You did a great job. You didn't let your mother and me down."

Zhou's mother was almost crying with joy: "My dear son, you've worked so hard this past month. Fortunately, all your efforts have paid off. Jiuxiao has finally become the overlord beast tamer."

Zhou Heng said firmly and confidently, "Mom and Dad, this is just the beginning. In the future, I will definitely evolve Jiuxiao to mythical quality."

The old patriarch Zhou's gaze sharpened as he carefully examined the colorful-winged phoenix in Zhou Heng's arms, nodding repeatedly: "Indeed! This is just the beginning. Heng'er has a bright future and will surely achieve great things!"

Zhou Heng smiled broadly: "Grandpa, you flatter me. I will continue to work hard and will not slack off."

Old Madam Zhou's eyes were full of doting affection: "My precious grandson, you haven't slept a wink this past month to help Jiuxiao evolve. You haven't eaten or slept well, and you've lost weight. A few days ago, someone sent over a sixth-tier Wind-Winged Thunder Tiger. I'll have someone stew a pot of tiger marrow soup for you later to help you recover."

Windwing Thunder Tiger is an extraordinary creature of a high-ranking diamond race. Its mature form can reach the fifth rank, and a few ultimate forms can reach the sixth rank.

Zhou Heng felt a warmth in his heart: "Thank you, Grandma. I'm fine, don't worry. Before the Nine Heavens Evolution, I drank an energy potion, and I haven't felt hungry at all for the past month."

Madam Zhou said firmly, "No, you have to listen to me on this matter."

Zhou Heng nodded: "Okay, Grandma, I'll listen to you."

Grandma Zhou patted Zhou Heng on the back of the head: "That's a good boy."

The old patriarch, Li, also came over, his tone full of satisfaction, expressing his approval of Zhou Heng: "From Phoenix and Azure Luan to Colorful-Winged Azure Phoenix, it is not only an improvement in quality, but also a leap in the level of life. The bond between you and the Colorful-Winged Azure Phoenix has become unbreakable after this baptism, like the roots of the sun, moon, and parasol tree, penetrating deep into each other's souls. Your grandfather is proud of you."

Madam Li chuckled and handed Zhou Heng an exquisite jade bottle, saying, "My dear grandson, this is a top-grade sixth-rank Yuan Yang Soul-Stabilizing Dew. It's very beneficial for stabilizing the mind of a newly evolved beast. You must give it to Jiu Xiao later."

Zhou Heng accepted the jade bottle: "Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Grandma."

The eldest uncle smiled broadly: "Heng'er, if you have any questions about practical combat in the future, feel free to ask me."

The second uncle was relatively refined. He smiled and said, "Xiao Heng, if you need anything in the future, just tell your second uncle."

Zhou Heng beamed, "Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Second Uncle."

Fourth Uncle's expression was serious: "Heng'er, as the head of the family, I assure you that from now on, all the family's resources will be tilted towards you."

Zhou Heng hesitated for a moment: "Fourth Uncle, is this appropriate?"

Fourth Uncle had already made up his mind: "Of course it's suitable! Among this generation, you are the only one who has contracted three mid-level overlord-quality beasts. If resources aren't allocated to you, who else would they allocate resources to?"

Zhou Heng accepted his fourth uncle's kindness: "Thank you, fourth uncle."

Tenth Uncle patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Heng'er, go high! We, your family, will always be your strongest support."

Zhou Heng was confident and assured: "I won't let you down."

Afterwards, the other relatives also came forward one after another, and each of them offered Zhou Heng their congratulations and blessings.

Faced with the sincere congratulations and advice from many elders, Zhou Hengquan nodded earnestly in response, either expressing his gratitude or stating his determination.

Looking at the faces before him, filled with genuine joy and immense pride for him, he felt a surge of confidence.

Zhou Heng pointed to the Sun and Moon Wutong Tree, which was rooted in the center of Wutong Island and greatly aided the evolution of the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix: "Grandpa, what should we do with this eighth-tier spiritual plant?"

After a moment's thought, the old patriarch of the Zhou family said, "Let's just leave it here! Perhaps our family members will need it in the future. Whoever wants to use it can take it."

Zhou Heng nodded, took out the red crystal ball, and intended to return it to the old Zhou family head.

The old patriarch Zhou said directly, "This seventh-grade high-quality treasure was given to me by the ancestor, but it has no other use except that its internal space is relatively large. You can keep it! Perhaps it will have other uses in the future, after all, the materials used to refine this treasure are quite precious."

Zhou Heng quickly said, "Grandpa, there are two more portions here..."

The old patriarch Zhou waved his hand: "The remaining spiritual items inside are all yours."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Zhou Heng did not refuse any further and put the red crystal ball into his storage watch.

Fourth Uncle asked, "Heng'er, there are a large number of fourth-tier spiritual creatures in this sycamore forest. These were formed from the spiritual energy emitted when your beast taming successfully evolved. What are you planning to do with them? Do you need us to help you collect them?"

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment: "These spiritual items are all of the most common five elements, and anyone can use them. Why not give them to the younger generation in the family? It would be my way of giving back to the family."

The old patriarch Zhou couldn't help but praise, "You child, you always care so much about the family. We really haven't spoiled you for nothing."

Zhou Heng smiled broadly, his smile as gentle as a spring breeze.

Afterwards, everyone returned to Bixi Island. Madam Zhou had the servants prepare several tables of banquet, and all the relatives celebrated Zhou Heng's passing together.

Zhou Heng also successfully drank the tiger marrow soup made by Feng Chi Lei Hu.

After a few rounds of drinks, Zhou's father, with a smug look on his face, said to Zhou Heng, "My good son, I suddenly remembered something funny. Last time I saw Yan Yunguang, he actually bragged about his son in front of me, saying how amazing his son was. But when I asked him, I found out that compared to you, his son wasn't even worthy of carrying your shoes. I couldn't stand his arrogant attitude, so I told him your level directly, and his face turned green immediately."

Yan Yunguang is a direct descendant of the Fire Phoenix Yan family, one of the four top aristocratic families. He is the same age as Zhou's father, and the two were once classmates.

Since the two sides were roughly equal in all aspects, they had been competing openly and covertly since childhood.

However, there was no deep-seated hatred between Zhou's father and Yan Yunguang; on the contrary, the two had a fairly good relationship to some extent.

Zhou Heng's brow furrowed slightly: "Is Yan Yunguang's son named Yan Haosen? I heard our teacher say before that, including me, there are only five students in the universe who have formed contracts with the Overlord Beast Tamer, and he is one of them."

Mr. Zhou nodded: "That's right, it's him."
