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

Although everyone had received the Alliance's announcement that Zhou Heng had awakened his SSS-level second talent and become Emperor Xuanchen's apprentice.

But now that they have met again, the principal of No. 3 Middle School and Zhang Peng and others are still filled with turbulent emotions.

After all, Zhou Heng's current status and position are far more prestigious than ever before.

Zhou Heng raised his hand, making a gesture of support in the air: "Principal, and all the teachers, you don't need to be so polite in front of me."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School was moved, but still bowed and maintained a respectful posture: "Young Alliance Leader, you are wise. There is an old saying from thousands of years ago: 'Etiquette must not be abandoned.' The Young Alliance Leader has now become the thirteenth Beast Tamer in the history of the Alliance to awaken an SSS-level talent, and has also become the disciple of the old Alliance Leader. We are just ordinary Beast Tamers, so it is only natural that we must pay our respects to the Young Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng was very respectful and humble: "I am still a student of No. 3 Middle School. In my eyes, you are still my elders."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School became increasingly humble: "Young Alliance Leader, you are too kind to us! Teaching is just a job. Although we taught you for a period of time, we would never dare to act as your elders in front of you."

Zhou Heng laughed heartily: "You know my personality, there's no need for you to be so distant in front of me. I'll be the same as before."

Only then did the principal of No. 3 Middle School and the others dare to straighten up: "Thank you for your kindness, Young Alliance Leader."

Zhang Peng stared at the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, his face still showing disbelief. He cautiously asked, "Young Alliance Leader, could this golden roc be a mythical-quality tamed beast?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "That's right. As we all know, every SSS-level talent Beastmaster can receive a Mythic quality Beastmaster from the Alliance. That's how I got mine."

Zhang Peng and the others announced loudly, "Congratulations, Young Alliance Leader! Congratulations, Young Alliance Leader!"

Zhou Heng introduced it to everyone: "It is the fourth beast I have contracted, named the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, which is of superior mythical quality."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School felt a chill run down his spine: "A superior mythical beast? Doesn't that mean this beast is among the very best of all mythical beasts?"

Zhou Heng smiled and nodded: "Theoretically, that's a fair statement."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School exclaimed in amazement: "Young Alliance Leader is truly a genius, a prodigy! Only a beast of mythical quality is worthy of Young Alliance Leader."

Zhang Peng and the others echoed, "That's right, that's right!"

Afterwards, Zhou Heng chatted for a few more minutes with the principal of No. 3 Middle School and others.

The gazes of the many students on campus below were all fixed on the air.

They listened to the conversation between the principal of No. 3 Middle School and others and Zhou Heng. At first, there was a deathly silence, but after they came to their senses, they gradually began to whisper among themselves.

"Although I know that our little leader came from our No. 3 Middle School, this feeling is just too unreal."

"Yes! I really didn't expect that our No. 3 Middle School could produce such a great person with SSS-level talent."

"The young leader was born into an extraordinary family. If his parents hadn't been transferred to the Education Bureau and the Pharmacist Association on our Xuanxiao Star, the young leader wouldn't be studying on our Xuanxiao Star and would have gone back to Yuanli Ancient Star to study long ago."

"Do you think the young leader came back this time to arrange a transfer? Our No. 3 Middle School is just a first-class beast-taming high school, not as good as the four top beast-taming high schools."

"Possibly."

"I don't think so. With the status of the Little Alliance Leader, would he need to come back in person to transfer schools? I feel that the Little Alliance Leader may have come back specifically to catch up with people he is close to."

"I should have cultivated a good relationship with the young alliance leader."

"Are you worthy? Before the young alliance leader even revealed his awakened SSS-level second talent, he was already a genius with S-level talent from a large family. Do you think just anyone can get close to him?"

"Yes! In the past, our little alliance leader only had an S-level talent, and we could only look up to him. Now that our little alliance leader has awakened an SSS-level second talent and formed a contract with a mythical beast, we can't even get close to him."

"Let me put it this way! Even before the Little Alliance Leader announced his second talent, if you wanted to be his lackey, you'd need at least a B-rank talent, or even an A-rank talent, and your background couldn't be too bad! Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to handle the tasks assigned by the Little Alliance Leader! But now..."

"Sigh! People like us, even if we wanted to be someone's dog, no one would want us."

"Don't overthink it. At least we went to the same school as the Little Alliance Leader. It's something to be proud of."

"Yeah! You should be grateful you can attend No. 3 Middle School!"

"I really envy the young leader; even the principal has to treat him with utmost respect."

"Indeed! Look at the principal, who is usually so dignified and imposing that even the officials treat him with deference, bowing and scraping before the young leader like he's devoutly worshipping a deity!"

"Is this the treatment given to top geniuses?"

"If you could also awaken an SSS-level talent, the principal would treat you the same way."

"Exactly! What's the use of being envious? Who told them to awaken an SSS-level second talent! The last person with this opportunity was the legendary Supreme Worry-Free! No matter how envious you are, can it change your aptitude?"

"We can't reach the Little Alliance Leader, but we can try to get close to those students in the top classes who are on good terms with him."

"Don't even dream about it, they're all just arrogant people."

"Sigh! Why don't I have a life as dazzling and brilliant as the Little Alliance Leader's..."

"The young alliance leader is my god..."

As the students gazed at the majestic Kunpeng and the imposing Zhou Heng, their eyes were filled with envy, awe, admiration, and longing at this scene that was beyond the imagination of ordinary beast tamers.

Standing beside the huddled Ice Bear King, Li Lang listened to the chatter of the crowd, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement and joy.

As Zhou Heng's best friend, he was the most cheerful among the group.

He recalled how he had gritted his teeth and given Zhou Heng the token of the Mystic Realm in order to secure his position by Zhou Heng's side, and he felt that this was the most worthwhile investment he had ever made in his life.

At this moment, Zhou Heng was no longer just a promising talent, but a truly powerful being soaring high in the heavens, a figure even the principal had to look up to.

The thought that he had actually become good friends with such a being filled Li Lang with an indescribable sense of pride, making him feel excited.

Standing beside Li Lang, Gao Wenwu also recalled Zhou Heng's many encouragements to him.

Those words were what motivated him to keep going.

Now, seeing the person who once encouraged him reach a height that most beast tamers in the universe can only look up to, he felt no jealousy, only heartfelt gratitude and happiness.

He Hongmei wore a pure smile. She glanced at Gao Wenwu beside her and was also happy for Zhou Heng.

Chen Hui, standing in the distance, wore an almost numb calm on his face.

As Zhou Heng's classmate, he witnessed too many of Zhou Heng's miracles.

From Zhou Heng's meteoric rise to his incredible performances, he has gone from shock and doubt to acceptance, and now to complete numbness.

A few days ago, when Chen Hui learned from the Alliance announcement that Zhou Heng had awakened his second talent, contracted a divine beast, and become an apprentice of a ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer, his first reaction after the initial shock was that Zhou Heng had caused another big commotion.

Seeing Zhou Heng return in person now, Chen Hui felt almost nothing.

I just think this is very Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng's excellence had become an indelible mark on his mind, a matter of course.
