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

Pei Ge said loudly, "Young Master Li is right! I believe that our young leader will create another miracle!"

Chen Hui chimed in, "Young Alliance Leader, you are a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss, soaring to the heavens! The next person to break the Alliance's college entrance examination record will undoubtedly be you!"

Zhang Yunfeng's tone was filled with longing: "To witness our young leader break the record set by the Supreme Lord Dinghai would be the greatest honor of our lives!"

Li Shiliang nodded in agreement: "Yunfeng is right. It is our honor to be in the same era as the young alliance leader. We are willing to follow in the footsteps of the young alliance leader and create a glorious future together."

Not to be outdone, Pang Jie declared in a booming voice, "With your potential, Young Alliance Leader, I believe you will surely cultivate a tenth-tier Beast Tamer in the future! You will usher in a new era!"

Dressed in women's clothing, Wang Xuchen smiled charmingly: "Yes, yes, yes! Over the past six thousand years, countless geniuses have fallen, and only three Beast Tamers have successfully advanced to the tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer. Little Alliance Leader, you, like these three Supremes, are SSS-level talents! We firmly believe that your future achievements will not be weaker than the three Supremes in history."

Everyone chimed in with their praise, all agreeing that Zhou Heng's talent was unparalleled, his strength unmatched among his peers, and that he would surely reach the pinnacle of the universe and even break historical records.

The entire banquet hall seemed to have become a temple of praise, from talent to strength, from the present to the future, everyone elevated Zhou Heng to a god-like status.

Zhou Heng sat in the main seat, always wearing a gentle smile as he listened to the praise from the crowd. He would occasionally respond with a few words and take a small sip of wine, which immediately made the crowd even more enthusiastic.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall, which was originally like solidified amber, was dazzling but lifeless, but now it has become extremely lively, and everyone's interest is extremely high.

After all, being able to sit at the same table as this person who is destined to stand on the clouds in the future is a topic of conversation in itself.

The usually shy Gao Wenwu took a deep breath, raised his glass, and said with heartfelt admiration, "Young Alliance Leader, thank you for your encouragement and support back in school. Seeing you become so outstanding, far exceeding my expectations, I may be clumsy with words and unable to express myself well, but I am genuinely happy for you. This glass is a toast to you!"

Zhou Heng had a particularly good impression of Gao Wenwu. He raised his glass and said sincerely, "Xiao Gao, I've always seen your hard work, and you're very talented."

"Thank you very much, Young Alliance Leader." Gao Wenwu was deeply moved, and a surge of pride rose in his chest.

Being recognized by Zhou Heng in public made him very happy.

Xiao Luo, a rising star in the first year of high school, although the least experienced, knows to seize opportunities to express his respect.

He stood up, his voice brimming with youthful vigor: "Young Alliance Leader, you are my role model! Although I am far inferior to you, I also want to take you as my goal, work hard to train my beasts, and strive for good results in the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination!"

Zhou Heng encouraged his junior, saying, "Keep it up! I have high hopes for you."

Xiao Luo's face flushed with excitement: "I will definitely live up to the expectations of our little alliance leader."

The remaining people, including He Hongmei, Zou Lei, and Yan Shouzhen, also stood up and toasted Zhou Heng, saying a few words of praise for him.

Zhou Heng accepted all comers without hesitation.

After that, everyone gradually relaxed in front of Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng then inquired about the recent situation of his two elderly wives, Wang Zhu and Tian Fugui.

Wang Zhu stood up respectfully, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Thanks to the blessing of the young alliance leader, and with the start-up capital you provided, my clinic is doing exceptionally well. Moreover, just two days ago I became a formal first-level pharmacist. In addition to treating people's external injuries, I've also started trying to sell my own concocted potions. Everything is on track, and my life is getting better and better."

"Very good! Apothecary is a great secondary profession, capable of quickly accumulating wealth and helping Beastmasters obtain sufficient resources."

Zhou Heng waved his hand and took out a book: "This is a basic pharmacist's handbook written by a fourth-level pharmacist. If you can thoroughly understand the knowledge in this book, you will easily advance to the third-level pharmacist in the future. Moreover, it also records hundreds of uniquely improved low-level potion recipes, which you will definitely find useful."

Wang Zhu was astonished: "This is too precious; I cannot accept such a reward without having done so much..."

Zhou Heng used his mental power to send the Basic Pharmacist Manual to Wang Zhu, deliberately saying, "Alright, you know my personality, don't be so polite in front of me."

"Thank you for your generous gift, Young Alliance Leader!" Wang Zhu accepted the Basic Pharmacist Manual with both hands, bowed respectfully, and then carefully put the manual away.

Zhou Heng then turned his attention to Tian Fugui.

"Thank you, Little Alliance Leader, for arranging for me to join the Education Bureau when I graduated. I'm now a senior clerk. And my boss really likes me, saying that once I'm promoted to a third-tier elite beast tamer, I can be directly promoted to deputy director."

Tian Fugui's face was beaming with happiness: "A month ago, I went on a blind date arranged by my family and found a fiancée whose family background is much better than mine. Her parents are both top-level elite beast tamers of the third tier, and she herself works as a clerk in the Provincial Administration Office. We plan to get married in a while."

Zhou Heng nodded: "This is wonderful news!"

"This is all thanks to the young leader. If the young leader hadn't put in a good word for me with the Education Bureau, as a second-tier senior beast tamer with a D-level talent, it would have been extremely difficult for me to get a position with the Education Bureau after graduating from high school. It would have been even more impossible for me to be promoted to senior clerk in just half a year."

Tian Fugui was extremely grateful, and as he spoke, tears of emotion welled up in his eyes: "Without the status of a senior clerk in the Education Bureau, my fiancée's family would never have looked favorably upon me. So, all the happiness I have now is thanks to the grace of the Little Alliance Leader! My gratitude to the Little Alliance Leader is beyond words..."

Zhou Heng waved his hand and tossed out ten low-grade, third-tier water-attribute crystal cores: "I'm afraid I won't be able to attend your engagement ceremony in the future, so consider this a gift from me. Your Xuan Yu Swan is a water-type beast, and these ten crystal cores should be helpful to it."

"Young Alliance Leader, your kindness to me is truly immeasurable! I kowtow to thank you for your grace!" Tian Fugui immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to Zhou Heng.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng drank with everyone and enjoyed the song and dance performances prepared by Zhaixing Pavilion. The banquet lasted until late at night.

After the banquet ended, Zhou Heng led Tianyin Hou and Qianren Hou away first, and the rest of the guests also left one after another, still feeling that the banquet was not over.

The day after the banquet at Zhaixing Pavilion was New Year's Day, which was January 1, 8530 AD.

Zhou Heng received many messages on his communicator, mostly respectful blessings, but he didn't reply to any of them.
