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

Zhou Heng stated his needs: "Master, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng has enormous potential, but its inherited memories show that before advancing to the sixth rank, it needs to devour a complete star core every year as resources..."

Before he could finish speaking, a faint smile appeared on Emperor Xuanchen's lips. With a wave of his hand, a miniature starry sky suddenly unfolded, with hundreds of star cores, each the size of a dragon's eye and condensed to the extreme, floating within it.

They were no longer violent; instead, they gently emitted a soft yet magnificent starlight, illuminating Zhou Heng's face.

Within the core of each star lies the scene of the birth and death of countless beings. The incomparably pure star power dissipates, causing the eyes of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, in its 50,000-meter wingspan form, to shoot out thousands of meters of golden light.

"This is the core of a star? How can it be so small?" Zhou Heng stared in disbelief.

"These are indeed star cores. After being tempered and miniaturized, they naturally became smaller. There are a total of one hundred."

Emperor Xuanchen spoke calmly, as if he were simply presenting some ordinary fruits: "I have already processed them for you. The internal energy of these star cores has become very mild and pure, making them easier for the growing Star-Devouring Kunpeng to absorb."

Zhou Heng was deeply moved: "I never expected that Master had prepared so many star cores in advance."

Emperor Xuanchen's gaze fell on Zhou Heng: "From the very first day you brought back the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, I had already prepared this item."

Zhou Heng said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Master. I really don't know how to thank you! I only wanted one or two to temporarily relieve my immediate crisis, but I never expected that Master would prepare so many for me."

Emperor Xuanchen didn't take it seriously: "These ordinary planetary star cores are only sixth-tier spiritual items, nothing precious at all. The only problem is that the tempering process is a bit troublesome. Even if I didn't prepare them for you, your family will prepare them for you when you return to the Canglan Plane."

Zhou Heng said earnestly, "One thing at a time, I remember all the kindness Master has shown me."

With a gentle push, Emperor Xuanchen sent the miniature starry sky, containing one hundred star cores, slowly flying to Zhou Heng: "Take it! Remember, feed it two cores every year. Double the resources will solidify its foundation and unleash its potential. After fifty years, when these one hundred star cores are exhausted, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng will have at least advanced to the sixth rank. At that time, it can directly devour stars! The universe is vast, with countless stars, which it can freely roam and devour without any constraints."

"Thank you for your generous gift, Master." Zhou Heng did not store the miniature starry sky into his sixth-grade top-quality storage watch, but instead stored it into his seventh-grade mid-quality Ocean-All-Rivers Ring.

The Ring of All Rivers is composed of fragments of a blessed land, which, after accommodating the star core, can better nurture it.

Emperor Xuanchen's gaze softened: "Between master and disciple, there's no need for such formalities. As long as you live up to my expectations, work together to nurture the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, and become independent as soon as possible, that will be enough to repay your master."

Zhou Heng nodded emphatically: "I understand what Master means. I will definitely not let Master down."

Emperor Xuanchen then asked, "You're still in school, right?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "That's right, I'm a sophomore in high school now."

Emperor Xuanchen then asked, "I heard that you didn't study in Yuandu before, but on a level-one planet?"

Zhou Heng explained simply: "Yes, my parents work on Xuanxiao Star, so I go to school on Xuanxiao Star."

Emperor Xuanchen said meaningfully, "Why don't you transfer your student status to Yuandu? Or to Weidu? You have dual talents, and your second talent is SSS-level. Xuanxiao Star can't keep such a true dragon like you."

Zhou Heng did not hesitate at all and directly refused: "Master, because I have dual talents, and my second talent is SSS level, I feel that there is no need to transfer schools. In any case, whether it is a first-class beast-taming high school or a top-tier beast-taming high school, it makes no difference to me."

Emperor Xuanchen smiled and said, "It's not a transfer, just a change of student records. You've become my disciple, so you don't need to stay at school all the time anymore."

Zhou Heng was very sentimental: "Master, the principal and teachers of Xuanxiao Third Beast Taming High School have treated me very well. If I transfer to Yuandu, all the hard work they put into me will be wasted, and I won't be able to enjoy the benefits of becoming the league's top scorer in the future. Yuandu's key Beast Taming High Schools have produced many league top scorers, but Xuanxiao Third Beast Taming High School has never produced one. I hope to bring unprecedented glory to my high school in the future, which can also be considered a perfect ending to my high school career."

Emperor Xuanchen looked at the somewhat stubborn Zhou Heng, and felt even more satisfied: "It's a good thing that you value loyalty and righteousness. However, the teachers at a top-tier Beast Taming High School are at most fifth-tier Battle General Beast Tamers, or even just fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers. Before, you only showed your S-level first talent, so it was fine for them to teach you the basics. But now that you have awakened your SSS-level second talent, they are not qualified to teach you anymore."

Zhou Heng looked somewhat disappointed: "You mean I don't have to go to school at all?"

He missed his classmates and friends from No. 3 Middle School.

Emperor Xuanchen seemed to see through Zhou Heng's thoughts: "You can go back to school to participate in the grade competition during the mid-term and final exams of each semester. You can also actively participate in any school activities. You also can't miss the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination."

Zhou Heng pressed further, "Can I go back and see my friends during the rest of the time?"

Emperor Xuanchen was extremely patient with Zhou Heng, his disciple who possessed his bloodline: "Of course you can. You just don't need to attend those unnecessary classes, but you will still be a student of Xuanxiao Third Beast Taming High School."

Zhou Heng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."

Emperor Xuanchen added, "In short, just remember to come to my place for a lesson for one day in the latter half of each month. You can arrange the rest of the time as you see fit."

Zhou Heng was somewhat puzzled: "Do I only attend your lectures one day a month?"

Emperor Xuanchen was very lenient with his disciples: "At this stage, you don't need to learn too much. For the basics, you can just read the books yourself. As for the more advanced stuff, once your strength improves, you'll understand it naturally with a little guidance."

Zhou Heng replied, "Yes, Master."

Although Emperor Xuanchen had high hopes for Zhou Heng, he did not put undue pressure on him: "Heng'er, when I teach my disciples, I prefer to teach according to their aptitude. There's a saying that a loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer. Your talent is there. If you follow the path step by step, you can at least become a ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer. Even advancing to a tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer shouldn't be difficult for you. You have plenty of lifespan, so during your youth, you can do more of what you want to do, without having to rush like ordinary Beast Tamers."

Zhou Heng showed a learned expression: "I have remembered Master's teachings, and I will learn to balance work and rest."
