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

Upon learning that Zhou Heng was going to the Eternal Order Holy Realm, Zhou's parents did not intend to go with him; they wanted to return to the Canglan Plane.

Zhou Heng directly shared the skills of the Devouring Star Kunpeng, using the Four Directions Universe to send them back to the Canglan Plane. He then spent a day with his grandparents in the Canglan Plane before leaving the Canglan Plane with Tianyin Hou and Qianren Hou.

The first thing Zhou Heng did after arriving in the Eternal Order Holy Realm was to pay his respects to his master, Emperor Xuan Chen.

Although Emperor Xuanchen said that Zhou Heng only needed to come once a month, Zhou Heng understood that the friendship between people could only gradually deepen through long-term contact.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Emperor Xuanchen will be his strongest backer for the next few hundred years, and he must hold onto this powerful backer firmly.

Moreover, he promised the principal of No. 3 Middle School that he would turn No. 3 Middle School into a top-notch beast-taming high school, which also required the approval of Emperor Xuanchen.

……

The planet Zichen is completely covered by azure seawater, vast and boundless, with no land in sight.

Only the Xuanwu, which is 20,000 kilometers long, emerged from the water, using its back armor as a continent.

At the center of the armor on the back of the Xuanwu, Emperor Xuanchen sat in the void. His black cloak moved without wind, and his aged face was blurred in the hazy light of the laws. Only his eyes seemed to hold the rotation of the sun and moon and the birth and death of the universe.

Zhou Heng's figure suddenly appeared not far away. He took a deep breath of the energy-filled air, quickly stepped forward, and respectfully bowed: "Greetings, Master."

Emperor Xuanchen lowered his gaze, his voice unhurried yet carrying an inherent majesty: "Heng'er, how did you feel returning home this time? Did it feel like a triumphant homecoming?"

Zhou Heng hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully: "Just as Master said, I have indeed had this experience. But more than that, I feel that the treatment received by S-rank and SSS-rank is really very different."

He paused, organizing his thoughts: "In the past, although I was also the center of attention, in front of sixth-tier commander-level beast tamers and seventh-tier feudal lord-level beast tamers, I was just a promising junior. Their politeness towards me was mostly out of consideration for the Zhou family behind me. My own talent was only enough for them to look at me with a glimpse of respect, but not enough for them to treat me as an equal. But now that I have become your disciple, even seventh-tier feudal lord-level beast tamers will regard me as a subordinate and even show obvious reverence when they see me."

"That's normal."

Emperor Xuanchen's tone remained completely calm: "If you only possess S-rank talent, even with the backing of a large aristocratic family and abundant resources, your future achievements will, under normal circumstances, only reach the level of a seventh-rank feudal lord beast tamer, and you will need to spend over a hundred years of arduous work. Even with good luck, there is only a faint hope of glimpsing the realm of an eighth-rank monarch beast tamer."

His words resonated like a powerful bell, striking Zhou Heng's heart: "Now that you have awakened your SSS-level second talent and become my personal disciple, your level is completely different. At the very least, you will be able to reach the ninth-tier Emperor Beastmaster realm, and there is even a considerable hope that you can break through to the tenth-tier Supreme Beastmaster realm. Others' views of you will naturally change accordingly. What they see is no longer just the Zhou family, the Divine Dragon Clan behind you, but also your own future that will surely illuminate the universe."

Zhou Heng was well aware of his own situation: "A genius is just a genius until he grows up. If it weren't for my master's influence, those people might not have been so respectful to me."

Emperor Xuanchen, as the strongest person in the Alliance in this era, exuded an aura of domineering arrogance with every move he made: "You don't need to think too much about these things. Your master will back you up in everything. When you get along with your subordinates, if you're happy, give them a smile; if you're unhappy, give them a couple of slaps. You are the junior leader of the Alliance. In ancient times seven or eight thousand years ago, that would be equivalent to a crown prince. You don't need to be too polite in your dealings with people. If anyone dares to disrespect you, your master will never let them off."

Looking at Emperor Xuanchen's protective manner, Zhou Heng couldn't help but joke, "Master, aren't you afraid that if I listen to you, I'll become a lawless, arrogant, and spoiled brat?"

Emperor Xuanchen's gaze was profound: "Although we have only known each other for a short time, I know your character well. You are a typical young master from a noble family, very particular about your reputation and honor. You are far from being a spoiled brat. Besides, I am now the strongest in the alliance, and it won't be long before I become the fourth tenth-tier supreme beast tamer in the alliance's history. As my youngest disciple, it's normal for you to be a little unruly. Even if others are unhappy, they can only tolerate it."

Strength and background are always the most direct languages ​​in this world.

"Master's words are all precious; thank you for your teachings."

Zhou Heng bowed again and said, "Master, I have another matter I would like to ask for your help with."

Emperor Xuanchen casually said, "There's no need for formalities between us, master and disciple. Let's speak frankly."

Zhou Heng sorted out his thoughts: "My high school was only a first-rate beast-taming high school. In terms of resources and foundation, it couldn't compare with the four top beast-taming high schools. However, the principal and teachers were extremely responsible. At least in terms of school discipline, school spirit, and the importance attached to geniuses, they did no less than the top beast-taming high schools."

Emperor Xuanchen already understood: "So, you want to repay me?"

"Master is wise."

Zhou Heng nodded firmly: "I want to upgrade Xuanxiao Third Beast Taming High School from a first-class Beast Taming High School to a top-tier Beast Taming High School. I wonder if this is feasible?"

"This is a piece of cake."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanchen's expression remained unchanged, as if this were a trivial matter: "For thousands of years, there have only been four top-tier Beast Taming High Schools. I have long felt that this was inappropriate. Since you have brought it up today, let's add another top-tier Beast Taming High School! I will have someone go and greet Emperor Luxie later to go through the formalities."

Zhou Heng felt a weight lifted from his heart, and a joyful expression appeared on his face: "Thank you, Master!"

Emperor Xuanchen nodded and closed his eyes again.

Knowing that Emperor Xuanchen intended to continue helping Chilu Xuanwu break through the barrier between the ninth and tenth ranks, Zhou Heng respectfully bowed and turned to leave Zichen Star.

……

The Qiongqi Meng family's residence, in the Myriad Realms.

Inside the main hall where Emperor Lu Xie and Emperor Ming Hui were located, the dome was high and wide, and murals depicting the ferocious roar of the divine beast Qiongqi filled the air with a powerful aura.

Lingxi Wang, an eighth-tier monarch beast tamer from the Xuanwu Ling family, flew into the main hall and bowed to the Demon Slayer Emperor and the Bright Radiance Emperor, who were seated in the main seats.

His voice was clear and melodious. Without much pleasantries, he went straight to the point: "Greetings, Alliance Leader and Supreme Elder! Please announce to the entire Alliance that Xuanxiao Third Beast Taming High School has been promoted from a first-class Beast Taming High School to a top-tier Beast Taming High School, effective immediately. This is a personal decree from Ancestor Xuanchen. Please execute it as soon as possible, Alliance Leader."
