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

The Elder Linglong was even more composed. He gazed at Zhou Heng and said, "Most importantly, the family's fortune cannot be faked. It is destined that you will lead the Zhou family to its peak. This is an established fact. Since fate has already given the Zhou and Li families the best gift, why should we do anything futile? Going with the flow and following the will of Heaven is the best choice."

The old patriarch of Wanbao said proudly, "That's right, following the will of Heaven is one of the secrets that has allowed our Zhou and Li families to survive for over three thousand years."

Zhou Heng quickly explained, "Two elders, I didn't mean to hide it before. It's just that I wasn't entirely sure I had a second talent, so I didn't tell you elders."

Ancestor Wanbao had a broad perspective and was very carefree: "You don't need to explain these things, and we don't care about them either. You just need to remember that you will always be a direct descendant of the Zhou and Li families, and that's enough."

Zhou Heng immediately declared, "I will forever remember the teachings of our two ancestors! I will always be a member of the Zhou family, and I also have the blood of the Li family flowing through my veins! Since it is destined that I will lead both the Zhou and Li families to their peak, I will naturally follow the will of Heaven and revive the Divine Dragon Zhou family and the Golden Crow Li family in my generation!"

The old ancestor Linglong smiled and praised, "Good child, you will surely be remembered for eternity, just like the carefree supreme being in human history."

Ancestor Wanbao then asked, "Heng'er, can you tell us the specific effects of the Lord of Spiritual Source? You don't have to say if you don't want to."

Zhou Heng explained the power of the Spirit Source Pearl in a different way: "There's nothing wrong with saying this. My second talent, the Lord of Spirit Source, allows me to gain one unit of Spirit Source Power every day. Spirit Source Power has two effects: one is to help the Beast Tamer infinitely increase its level and enhance its strength; the other is to help the Beast Tamer infinitely improve its bloodline and evolve its quality."

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened very attentively.

The old patriarch Zhou's eyes flickered: "Are there any restrictions?"

Zhou Heng shook his head: "There are no restrictions, but there is a price to pay. Because the Lord of Spirit Source is too powerful, he has given up the basic bonus of SSS talent to the growth speed of beast taming."

Because the Spirit Source Pearl doesn't provide the basic speed boost for beast taming like other beast taming talents, Zhou Heng added this patch; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.

Zhou Heng's statement did not raise any doubts.

Although most beast-taming talents provide a basic bonus to the growth speed of the tamed beast.

Some talents even maximize the basic bonuses, such as Gao Wenwu and Gu Yixuan's talents.

But the universe is vast and full of wonders; anything is possible.

It's only natural that a talent that abandons basic bonuses and focuses on overcoming bottlenecks has emerged.

Most importantly, the second talent cannot be directly detected, so they can only believe whatever Zhou Heng says.

The old patriarch Zhou suddenly understood: "I see! No wonder the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix showed signs of autonomous evolution when it was still the Phoenix-like Azure Luan. Did you, Heng'er, use the power of the Spirit Source Lord to enhance its bloodline and strengthen its quality?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Grandpa is wise."

Patriarch Li pressed further, "Heng'er, did you continue to enhance the bloodline of the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, or did you directly raise its level?"

Zhou Heng did not hide his arrangements: "Because I wanted to help Jiuxiao start the evolution ritual as soon as possible, I did not improve Jiuxiao's bloodline anymore. Instead, I directly increased Jiuxiao's level, allowing Jiuxiao to quickly advance to the fourth rank and start the evolution ritual, thus evolving into the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix."

Linglong Ancestor agreed: "Your arrangement is reasonable. Now that you are in high school, it is indeed the most cost-effective way to upgrade your beasts first. After graduating from university, you can slowly improve the bloodline and enhance the potential of your beasts, which is not too late at all."

Ancestor Wanbao then asked, "Is spiritual energy only obtainable naturally, or can there be other methods to accelerate its acquisition?"

Zhou Heng didn't make any absolute statements, giving everyone more hope: "For now, I can only acquire it naturally. Every day, I will receive a strand of spiritual energy. But I believe that the two ancestors and all the elders know that the second talent is very magical. I always feel that I haven't fully developed my second talent yet. Perhaps as time goes by, I will discover more wonderful uses that can accelerate the accumulation of spiritual energy."

Ancestor Wanbao nodded in agreement: "Your idea is excellent."

The old ancestor Linglong asked in more detail: "Regarding the enhancement of spiritual source power to the strength and bloodline of beast tamers, do you have any specific data recorded? For example, how many levels of strength can a beast tamer increase by accumulating spiritual source power for a month, and how much can its bloodline be enhanced?"

Zhou Heng shook his head: "I don't have that, because the enhancement of spiritual energy to beasts of different qualities is different. The higher the quality of the beast, the better the effect of using spiritual energy to increase its level."

Ancestor Wanbao asked again, "Heng'er, how much spiritual energy did you use to make Jiuxiao show signs of autonomous evolution at that time?"

Zhou Heng thought for a moment: "About thirty strands of spiritual energy."

Ancestor Wanbao was utterly shocked: "Thirty? Are you sure?"

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment: "Actually, it's less than thirty, probably only twenty or so. I remember that after my first talent awakened, my second talent also began to emerge. After contracting with Jiuxiao, at that time Jiuxiao was not yet a mid-level overlord, but only a high-level diamond. I used spiritual source power to enhance its bloodline. Then, after nearly a month, I returned to the family from Xuanxiao Star, and my grandfather then discovered that Jiuxiao had shown signs of autonomous evolution."

Ancestor Wanbao was thrilled: "So, you only need about twenty days of accumulation to make a high-grade diamond-quality beast show signs of autonomous evolution?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Theoretically, that's correct."

The Elder Linglong was equally astonished: "As expected of an SSS-level talent, truly remarkable!"

Tenth Uncle was the quickest to accept Zhou Heng's talent: "If he weren't amazing, how could he be considered an SSS-level talent?"

Patriarch Zhou nodded repeatedly: "That's true! In over six thousand years of history, if we don't count Heng'er, there have only been twelve SSS-level Beast Tamers. Now, even with Heng'er, there are only thirteen."

As the head of the family, Fourth Uncle subconsciously said, "It's a pity that the talent of a Beast Tamer can only be used on the Beast Tamer himself and the Beast Tamer he has contracted. Otherwise, our family could mass-produce overlord Beast Tamers, or even mythical Beast Tamers."

Everyone knew what he meant, because as long as a beast shows signs of autonomous evolution, it can evolve successfully with a 100% success rate after the evolution ritual is initiated.

Zhou Heng can make a high-level diamond-quality beast show signs of autonomous evolution in just over twenty days. In other words, it only takes more than twenty days to make a high-level diamond-quality beast achieve a 100% success rate in evolution and easily transform it into a dominant beast.

Although the evolution ritual still needs to be initiated, the risk of evolution failure is eliminated.

Tenth Uncle chuckled lightly: "Fourth Brother, you really have wild ideas. Do you think the limitations of the universe's laws are so easily broken?"

Fourth Uncle shrugged: "I was just saying it casually."
