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

Zhou Heng seized the opportunity to ask, "Dad, what level has Yan Haosen from the Fire Phoenix Yan family raised his Beast Taming skill to?"

Father Zhou smiled and said, "He only reached the seventh level of the third tier a little over a month ago, and he certainly hasn't broken through to the eighth level of the third tier yet. Compared to you, he still has a lot of room for improvement."

Zhou Heng objectively commented, "This speed is not slow at all. At least in this cohort, no one in ASEAN besides me can match him."

In the eyes of the old patriarch Zhou, Zhou Heng was the most outstanding: "Yan Haosen awakened his beast-taming talent around the same day as you, and he also has an S-level talent. He contracted a beast of lower-level overlord quality and only advanced to the third tier, seventh level a month ago. Compared to others, this is indeed a speed like traveling by starship, but compared to you, he is far inferior."

Zhou Heng was inspired: "At the third level and seventh stage, he's actually catching up very closely, and he's not that much behind me. It seems I need to work even harder."

Mr. Zhou said earnestly, "My good son, you should also learn to balance work and rest."

Madam Zhou served Zhou Heng another bowl of tiger marrow soup: "Heng'er, Yan Haosen only cultivated one beast to the third rank, seventh level, while you have already cultivated three beasts to the fourth rank, especially the Rainbow Winged Azure Phoenix, which is already at the fourth rank, fourth level. He is completely incomparable to you. You don't need to worry about him catching up with you at all. That's impossible."

Patriarch Li chimed in, "Indeed! At his pace, even by the time your class takes the college entrance exam, he won't be able to cultivate his Beast Taming to the fourth level of the fourth rank. At most, he'll just be breaking through to the fourth rank."

Madam Li revealed a hint of disdain: "The Yan family of Huofeng once hyped him up, saying that he had a very good chance of becoming the top scorer in your year's college entrance examination. But after they learned about Heng'er's rapid progress, they have been much quieter these days."

Zhou Heng's eyes were clear: "Yan Haosen is the student with the best talent and family background in this year's class. If it weren't for me, he would have had a great chance of winning the overall champion title."

Tenth Uncle scoffed: "They're nothing special! Although the Yan family of Fire Phoenix is ​​powerful, the beasts of Ancestor Creation and Ancestor Yanqing are still alive. If our Zhou and Li families join forces, we have nothing to fear from them!"

The Creation Ancestor was a ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer of the Zhou family, while the Yanqing Ancestor was a ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer of the Li family.

The eldest uncle agreed: "That's right. Our large families, which have produced ninth-level Emperor Beast Tamers, are not comparable to ordinary large families. We are qualified to compete with the top families."

Fourth Uncle said with high spirits: "We kept a low profile before because the suppression of the Dragon Cult's rebellion back then damaged our strength, causing a shortage of successors in the family. We could only choose to recuperate. Now, with our ancestors establishing a firm foundation in all directions, our father and mother, both seventh-level feudal lord beast tamers, managing the household affairs, our tenth brother about to be promoted to a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer, and Heng'er with a bright future ahead of him, it's time for us to show our power."

Tenth Uncle's attitude was forceful: "Fourth Brother is right! Yan Haosen is just an ordinary genius. In front of a true peerless genius like our Heng'er, he has to coil up like a dragon and lie low like a tiger."

My second uncle clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Well said!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng felt even more confident.

The crowd dispersed in the evening.

Zhou Heng brought his three tamed beasts to a training hall that his grandparents had prepared for him on Bixi Island.

As soon as the training hall doors closed, he immediately took out the Yuan Yang Soul-Stabilizing Dew and fed it to the shrunken, winged Azure Phoenix perched on his shoulder.

"Thank you, Father." After swallowing the Yuan Yang Soul-Stabilizing Dew, Caiyi Qingfeng immediately felt that her foundation was more stable, her soul and body were more in sync, and her control over energy had become much more precise.

Zhou Heng said in a doting tone, "You are my contracted partner, so you don't need to be so polite with me."

The colorful-winged phoenix exclaimed joyfully, "Daddy is so good!"

Zhou Heng smiled and touched the feathers on the back of the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, then examined the changes in its skills.

After the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix successfully evolved, its original skills as the Phoenix-like Azure Luan were retained, but they all became ordinary skills.

Because a skill that is very powerful for a high-level diamond-ranked beast tamer is just ordinary for a mid-level overlord.

As the tamed beast of the mid-level overlord, the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix possesses seven brand-new powerful skills.

The first skill is called Five Virtues Divine Fire, which can spew out five-colored flames and is very effective against creatures that do not understand the Five Virtues.

Even if one is well-versed in the Five Virtues, one will still be restrained if one's behavior violates the standards of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness.

The more unkind, unjust, impolite, unwise, and untrustworthy acts one commits, the more painful the burning of the Five Virtues Divine Fire will be, and the greater the damage will be.

Moreover, it can trigger memories of the bad things done in one's soul, resulting in a very torturous mental attack.

There's no way to extinguish the Five Virtues Divine Fire using ordinary methods; we can only tough it out.

Unless the other party is a true gentleman who possesses benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, and has never transgressed the rules since birth, they will be tormented by the Five Virtues Divine Fire.

The second skill is Rebirth, a skill that all purebred Phoenixes possess, but its manifestation and strength vary.

The Phoenix of Rainbow Wings' rebirth allows it to be reborn from any flame after an accidental death.

However, you can only be reborn once a period of time, and there is a probability of failure each time you are reborn, depending on the specific circumstances.

The third skill is called the Light of Benevolence and Salvation, which can unleash a blue rainbow light, possessing the ability to heal all things and accelerate the growth of spiritual plants.

The fourth skill is called the Light of Righteousness and Justice, which can unleash a white rainbow light to form a protective barrier.

Among beings of the same level, the more evil they are, the harder it is for them to break through this barrier.

The fifth skill is called the Light of Ceremony and Etiquette. It can unleash a crimson rainbow that can both dispel illusions and create an illusion that causes the collapse of ritual and music, leading to the depravity of living beings.

You can also hunt for treasures and appraise them.

The sixth skill is called the Supreme Light of Wisdom, which can unleash a dark rainbow light. It has no offensive capabilities, but it can be used to forge magical artifacts and concoct potions.

Even without forging blueprints and potion recipes, as long as there are enough materials, the corresponding magical artifacts and potions can be automatically assembled.

However, the quality of magical artifacts and potions cannot exceed that of the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix by too much.

For example, if the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix is ​​currently at the fourth rank and fourth level, it can only automatically forge mid-grade fourth-rank treasures or automatically mix mid-grade fourth-rank potions to assist blacksmiths and pharmacists in forging and mixing treasures and potions below the fifth rank.

The seventh skill is called the Light of Sincerity, which can unleash a yellow rainbow light. Unless someone has never told a lie since birth, they will be immobilized for a period of time.

In theory, the more lies you tell, the longer you will be immobilized.

As strength changes, a certain time gap will also occur.

Overall, Rainbow Winged Phoenix's skills are quite strong, since most of them belong to the concept type.

If used as a support unit, it can be very powerful when paired with the Overturning Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon for a strong attack.
