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

Not long after, Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren, who had been sent by Zhou Heng to escort Jade Face King of the Tianhu Su family and Zhen Gang King of the Mo Kun Zheng family, returned.

After bidding farewell to Ancestor Wanbao, Zhou Heng immediately shared the skills of the Devouring Star Kunpeng and left Wanbao Hall with his two junior disciples, parents, and grandparents, returning to Bixi Island.

The next day, Zhou's parents and Zhou Heng visited his eldest uncle, fourth uncle, and tenth uncle, and gave them some useful resources.

As the eldest brother of Zhou's father's generation, the eldest uncle had provided a lot of support to Zhou's father and mother in the past.

As the current head of the Zhou family, Fourth Uncle has always taken good care of Zhou's parents.

Tenth Uncle had a particularly good relationship with Zhou's father and mother, and apart from Ancestor Wanbao, he was the only one in the Zhou family with an SS-level talent second only to Zhou Heng.

Zhou's parents received compensation from five prominent families and are now extremely wealthy. Naturally, they will not forget Zhou Heng's eldest, fourth, and tenth uncles.

My eldest uncle, fourth uncle, and tenth uncle also knew this, but they didn't accept too much.

One reason is that they don't lack it, and the other is that Zhou's parents are their younger brother and sister-in-law. If they accept too much, it won't sound good if word gets out.

Afterwards, Zhou's parents took Zhou Heng back to the Jinwu Li family and presented Linglong Ancestor with a ninth-grade spiritual item.

At the same time, some eighth-tier spiritual items were also given to the Li family patriarch and his wife.

Zhou Heng's parents also gave some seventh-tier spiritual items to his uncles.

After the family of three stayed in the Yan Yang plane for three days, Zhou Heng shared the skills of the Devouring Star Kunpeng and returned to the Cang Lan plane with his parents.

Back at his residence, Zhou Heng casually asked, "Mom and Dad, why haven't I seen Fengzhong and Fengyong these past few days?"

Zhou's father explained, "Now that you have the people arranged for you by the old alliance leader, you don't need those two anymore. So we assigned them other tasks, since they are only fifth-tier warrior beast tamers."

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and said to his father, "I'm used to them following me. From now on, let Feng Zhong and Feng Yong follow me. Although I don't need them to be my loyal followers anymore, they can still handle miscellaneous tasks. After all, I can't trouble Tian Yin and Qian Ren with all the small things, can I? Tian Yin and Qian Ren are just my junior disciples, not my servants. Besides, Feng Zhong and Feng Yong have followed me for over a year. Even if they haven't done anything outstanding, they've still put in a lot of effort. Their beasts are only mid-level diamond quality, which is a bit low. I'll help them evolve their beasts sometime, at least to high-level diamond quality. That way, they'll have a chance to advance to sixth-tier commander beast tamers."

Mr. Zhou readily agreed: "Since you've brought it up, we'll take care of it! We'll tell your grandfather another day, and he'll make the arrangements directly."

……

Time flies, and it's already mid-January, which is the end-of-term competition for the first semester of the second year of high school at No. 3 Middle School.

Zhou Heng returned to Xuanxiao Star with his parents and others.

He first went to the Thousand Sounds Blessed Land, and then directly shared the skills of the Star Devouring Kunpeng, appearing inside the small villa at No. 3 Middle School.

When his two companions saw him, they quickly greeted him: "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, you can all leave!"

"Yes." The two companions bowed and took their leave.

Zhou Heng took out his communicator and sent a private message to Li Lang, telling him that he was back.

Before Li Lang arrived, the principal of No. 3 Middle School came first.

The two tutors had received orders from the principal of No. 3 Middle School that they must report to Zhou Heng immediately if they discovered that he had returned.

That's why the principal of No. 3 Middle School arrived very quickly.

Upon seeing Zhou Heng, the principal of No. 3 Middle School couldn't contain his excitement: "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Principal, you don't need to be so polite in private."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School felt increasingly grateful for Zhou Heng's kindness: "Young Alliance Leader, I truly don't know how to thank you enough! Thanks to you, our No. 3 Middle School has now been officially recognized as the fifth top-tier Beast Taming High School in the Eastern Alliance! This is the first time in thousands of years! Not only are the school's funding and resources now vastly different from before, but even I, the principal, along with the teachers and students below, are proud to go out and have truly benefited immensely!"

Zhou Heng smiled gently and praised the school, saying, "No. 3 Middle School has a good foundation, strong teaching staff, and an outstanding learning atmosphere. Its achievements today are the result of the joint efforts of all teachers and students. Although I arranged for you to be the fifth top beast-taming high school, you yourself deserve this title."

"Young Alliance Leader, please don't say that!"

The principal of No. 3 Middle School waved his hands repeatedly, his self-awareness crystal clear: "There are indeed many good schools, but think about it, it's been thousands of years! There have always been only four top-tier Beast Taming High Schools. The Alliance's rules are like an invisible iron law, keeping many first-rate Beast Taming High Schools out. Without your strong support and dedicated guidance, even if all the teachers and students worked incredibly hard, it would have been impossible to break this millennia-old tradition and join the ranks! We at No. 3 Middle School will never forget this kindness and generosity!"

As he spoke, he invited Zhou Heng to sit down on the sofa next to him, and with a wave of his hand, he took out a teapot and teacups from his storage treasure. He personally poured hot tea for Zhou Heng, his posture respectful and humble, even more so than when he last met Zhou Heng.

Seeing the submissive demeanor of the principal of No. 3 Middle School, Zhou Heng knew that no matter what he said, the principal would never regain the composure he had before becoming the leader of the alliance, so he let him be.

The principal of No. 3 Middle School sized up the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, which had shrunk to about one meter in size and was surrounding Zhou Heng, and a look of surprise and admiration appeared on his face: "Young Alliance Leader, it's only been a few days, but I feel that the aura of your contracted partner has become even more profound and unfathomable?"

Zhou Heng picked up his teacup and took a sip: "The principal's feeling was right. Wuji has already advanced to the fifth level of the fourth rank a few days ago."

"What?! Fourth tier, fifth level!"

The principal of No. 3 Middle School suddenly jumped up from the sofa, his eyes wide open, his voice rising several octaves in extreme shock: "You've only had a contract with it for less than a month, and this speed of advancement is simply unheard of and unseen! Is this the terrifying power of a high-level mythical beast tamer? It's unbelievable!"

Zhou Heng put down his teacup, his tone still calm, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary: "Wuji has extremely high potential, and theoretically he can advance all the way to the ninth-tier Beast Tamer. His growth rate is faster in the early stages, so there's nothing to be surprised about."

Upon hearing this, the principal of No. 3 Middle School's expression of awe deepened, and he flattered the principal to the best of his ability, saying, "Young Alliance Leader, you are too modest! High potential can only be brought out in the right hands! In my opinion, while the Star-Devouring Kunpeng's rapid progress is certainly due to its powerful bloodline, the more crucial factor is the assistance of your second talent!"

Zhou Heng did not explain that he had not yet had time to use the second talent on the Devouring Star Kunpeng, but simply smiled and said, "Principal, you flatter me."
