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

Sitting next to the Demon Slayer Emperor, Emperor Minghui frowned slightly and couldn't help but question Lingxi King, sent by Emperor Xuanchen: "Seventh Elder, Xuanxiao Star is merely one of the thirty-six first-class planets in the Eastern Alliance. According to convention, the highest rank a Beast Taming High School on it can achieve is first-class. Why would Senior Xuanchen suddenly issue such an edict?"

Lingxi King remained expressionless: "The young alliance leader once studied at Xuanxiao Third Beast Taming High School."

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.

The Demon Slayer Emperor, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them, a flash of blood-red glint in his eyes: "I understand."

"Your subordinate takes his leave." King Lingxi bowed again, then his figure floated backward, the space rippled like water, swallowing his figure and disappearing in an instant.

Emperor Lu Xie stared at the spot where King Ling Xi had vanished through the void, his face ashen, his heart filled with extreme displeasure.

Emperor Minghui quickly said, "Ancestor, please calm down."

The Demon Slayer Emperor snorted coldly, his voice echoing through the hall: "Whether a top-tier or first-rate Beast Taming High School is irrelevant in itself. However, only core planets can have top-tier Beast Taming High Schools, while first-tier planets can only have first-rate ones. This is an ironclad rule established by the Elder Council thousands of years ago! It was to maintain the authority of the Alliance and demonstrate the fairness and orderliness of resource allocation. Now, Xuan Chen has gone so far as to change this thousand-year-old rule without even consulting the Elder Council or giving them a heads-up! Does he even respect the laws of the Alliance? Has the Alliance truly become a one-man show for his Xuanwu Ling family?"

Seeing this, Emperor Minghui could only whisper to comfort him: "Ancestor, the situation is beyond our control. Emperor Xuanchen is about to advance to the tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer. The trend is set, and we cannot compete with him at present."

The resentment on the face of the Demon Slayer Emperor gradually turned into a helpless gloom, his tone carrying a hint of self-mockery and unwillingness: "Yes, I can't win."

Seeing Emperor Lu Xie's dejected state, Emperor Minghui quickly flattered him, saying, "Emperor Xuan Chen is merely more talented. Apart from that, whether it's his demeanor, his magnanimity, or his ability to handle alliance affairs, he is inferior to our ancestor! If it weren't for the Supreme Lord Dinghai leaving behind a detailed evolutionary path for the Chaos Beast Taming technique for the Xuanwu Ling family, how could he possibly have evolved the Myriad Spirits Xuanwu into the Edict Xuanwu, which surpasses all other beasts? He's merely relying on the legacy of his ancestors!"

Emperor Lu Xie waved his hand, his tone returning to calm, though his expression still held a hint of melancholy: "You can't say that. At least he truly possesses SSS-level talent, far surpassing my SS-level talent. My talent is inferior to his, that's a fact, and there's nothing to hide."

Emperor Minghui said urgently, "SS-level talent is also one in a billion, second only to SSS-level! My Meng family has risen to prominence in less than three thousand years, yet we have already produced two ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamers, just like you and me. In the future, we will surely..."

Emperor Lu Xie interrupted Emperor Ming Hui, his gaze fixed on the majestic Qiongqi mural on the palace ceiling. His voice carried a barely perceptible hint of weariness and longing: "The future? Yes, the future. The foundation of my Qiongqi Meng family is ultimately too shallow. Even though we have poured our hearts and souls into mastering the evolutionary paths of the Holy Radiance Qiongqi and the Reverse Fiend Qiongqi—two superior mythical qualities that are enough to make us stand out among most aristocratic families—as long as we fail to deduce the evolutionary path to evolve our beasts to the Chaos quality, we will always be inferior to others and subject to their control."

Emperor Minghui's tone was full of determination: "Please rest assured, Ancestor! The research on the subsequent evolution path of the Reverse Qiongqi, which the clan has devoted all its resources to studying, has recently accelerated significantly! With the combined strength of the entire clan, given time, we will surely be able to take that final step! At that time, my Qiongqi Meng family will sooner or later produce its own tenth-tier supreme beast tamer, truly standing shoulder to shoulder with the Xuanwu Ling family!"

Emperor Lu Xie didn't say much, but his gaze sharpened again.

……

With Emperor Xuanchen's approval, an order was issued and the Alliance quickly announced that Xuanxiao Beast Taming Third Middle School would be directly promoted from a first-class beast taming high school to a top-tier beast taming high school.

Although this was very against the rules, no one dared to say anything.

After all, this is Zhou Heng's high school alma mater.

Zhou Heng will definitely become a ninth-order Emperor Beast Tamer in the future, and there is also a good chance that he will be promoted to a tenth-order Supreme Beast Tamer.

In other words, no matter what happens in the future, No. 3 Middle School will at least become a high school for ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamers.

If you're lucky, you might even become a high school alma mater of a tenth-tier supreme beast tamer.

Making an exception and allowing it to become the fifth top beast-taming high school in the East is entirely justifiable.

……

On January 5th, the day after Zhou Heng returned to the Eternal Order Holy Realm, the Star Devouring Kunpeng gave him another surprise: "Father, I'm about to break through."

Zhou Heng beamed: "You're about to advance to the fifth level of the fourth rank?"

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng in its divine Kun form flicked its tail: "That's right."

Zhou Heng cupped the shrunken, one-meter-long Star-Devouring Kunpeng in his hands: "Your speed is too exaggerated. It's been less than ten days since your last breakthrough, and now you're about to break through again."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng blinked its big, round eyes: "It's alright! After all, I'm a high-level mythical quality."

"That's true." Zhou Heng immediately flew out of his silver palace in the Eternal Order Holy Realm with the Star Devouring Kunpeng.

Then, with a flick of its tail, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng flew away from Zhou Heng and into the sky, before returning to its original size of 80,000 meters.

Soon, a surge of golden light emanated from the body of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng.

A few seconds later, the size of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng increased to 100,000 meters, and its aura also became much stronger, successfully advancing to the fifth level of the fourth tier.

For a beast of mythical quality like the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, breakthroughs before the seventh rank are as easy as eating and drinking.

Shrinking in size, the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon perched on Zhou Heng's shoulder, along with the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon wrapped around Zhou Heng's wrist, all watched this scene with envy.

As mid-tier overlord-quality beasts, they can stand out from most other beasts, but they are still far inferior to high-tier mythical-quality beasts.

Zhou Heng noticed the envy in the eyes of the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, the Overturning Silver Dragon, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, and said softly, "Nine Heavens, Flying Phoenix, and Tyrant, you don't need to envy Wuji. Sooner or later, I will help you raise your bloodlines to the level of a high-level mythical being, or even higher."

The colorful-winged phoenix let out a clear, melodious cry: "Daddy is so good to us~"

The Silver Dragon of the Sea traced a circle around Zhou Heng's wrist: "Thank you, Father."

The Eternal Night Dragon stood upright on its hind legs, waving its front claws: "Old Deng, you can't go back on your word!"

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "It's only right that I treat you well, no need to thank me. We are in a relationship where we share both prosperity and adversity. Only when you become stronger can I become stronger. I will never go back on my word."

"Father is absolutely right." The Star-Devouring Kunpeng in its divine Kun form returned to its original size of one meter and instantly flew back to Zhou Heng's side from the sky.
