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

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Li Lang changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that, let's talk about something else. The principal came to see you in such a hurry just now, was it because of our No. 3 Middle School's sudden promotion to a top-tier Beast Taming High School?"

"That's right."

Zhou Heng casually said, "The principal did come to thank me for this matter; you arrived quickly."

"I knew it was you!"

Li Lang slapped his thigh, excitedly exclaiming, "No one else but you has this ability! Tell me, how did you do it?"

"My master, Emperor Xuanchen, was the former leader of the alliance. He gave an order to the alliance leader, Emperor Luxie, and that's how the matter was settled."

Zhou Heng gave a brief explanation, then asked in return, "So? No. 3 Middle School has become a top-tier beast-taming high school. Has it changed a lot?"

"There have been some changes!"

Li Lang rattled off the details: "The most tangible benefit is that our Rocket Class's monthly bonuses have increased tenfold! The top student gets ten million a month! Besides that, there are more cultivation resources available, with a wider variety and higher quality. When we go out and mention No. 3 Middle School, we can hold our heads higher and have more face. Moreover, the area around the school is undergoing a large-scale expansion, and I heard that our school might see a surge of new students in September. At that time, No. 3 Middle School at its current size definitely won't be able to accommodate them all."

After listening, Zhou Heng said with satisfaction, "That's great. With more resources, it will be easier for students to get into Beast Taming University."

Li Lang said repeatedly, "Yes! It doesn't affect me much, but it has a big impact on Xiao Gao and He Hongmei. Their monthly bonuses have increased from hundreds of thousands to millions, and they have much more resources now. It's also easier for them to evolve their beasts to the gold quality."

Zhou Heng was overjoyed: "This is indeed a good thing."

Li Lang looked at Zhou Heng with sincere eyes, his joking expression disappearing: "This is all thanks to you. The classmates have been saying in private that they are really grateful to you."

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and then said, "You can tell my classmates that working hard to get into Beast Taming University is the best way to thank me."

Li Lang nodded: "I understand."

Li Lang then stayed with Zhou Heng for a while before leaving.

Gao Wenwu, He Hongmei, and others received the news one after another and all came to see Zhou Heng and chatted with him for a few minutes.

……

The end-of-term grade-level competition officially began on the second day.

The group returned to the Ever-Victorious Arena for their match.

However, the Changsheng Arena was particularly lively today, with a huge number of people from outside the school coming. Although the Changsheng Arena covers an area of ​​ten million square meters and can accommodate up to one million people watching at the same time, it was already a bit crowded.

The main reason was Zhou Heng, which caused a sudden influx of tens of millions of people.

Many Alliance citizens living on Xuanxiao Star wanted to see Zhou Heng, the Alliance Leader who had awakened his SSS-level second talent, personally take action.

The principal of No. 3 Middle School and others had anticipated this, and placed many screens inside the arena to broadcast the battles. Extra people could watch the battles without entering the arena; they could simply take out their communicators outside.

Before the battle even began, the Ice Halberd Marquis and others from Xuanxiao Town arrived with a group of sixth-tier commanders and beast tamers.

They came early because they knew Zhou Heng would be showing up today.

A short while later, Zhou's parents also arrived.

As Zhou Heng's parents, they are now well-known in the league.

The group, including Bingji Hou, the guardian of Xuanxiao City, first paid their respects to the two alliance envoys, Zhou's father and mother, before returning to their seats on the viewing platform.

A short while later, a silver platform floating in the air appeared out of thin air in the arena, with a golden throne on it. Zhou Heng sat on it, overlooking the entire arena.

The four tamed beasts shrank in size and stayed by his side.

Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren stood to one side.

This silver platform is a special treasure, prepared by Marquis Tianyin specifically for Zhou Heng.

After all, Zhou Heng's current status is extraordinary, so he can no longer sit with these ordinary students.

As Zhou Heng arrived, cheers erupted throughout the arena.

The Ice Halberd Marquis and others from Xuanxiao Town hurriedly flew to the silver platform and paid their respects to Zhou Heng, who simply nodded indifferently.

Li Lang and the others all looked up at Zhou Heng from below.

As per usual procedure, the rankings were first determined by the level of the participants' beast taming abilities.

When Zhang Peng's second beast, a fourth-tier Magic Mirror Bat of gold quality, used its skill to create a golden light screen and announce the beast levels of many students, everyone was stunned.

Because at the top of the golden light screen, Zhou Heng's name was prominently displayed above everyone's heads, and everyone could clearly see the levels of Zhou Heng's four tamed beasts.

Among them, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng reached the fifth level of the fourth tier, the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix reached the fourth level of the fourth tier, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon reached the second level of the fourth tier, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon also reached the second level of the fourth tier.

The entire viewing plaza fell into a deathly silence at first, then erupted into a deafening roar, leaving everyone stunned and dizzy by the news.

"How...how much? Fourth tier, fifth level?! Am I hallucinating?" A young beast tamer rubbed his eyes hard, his face full of disbelief.

His companion beside him gaped, muttering, "That's right, fourth tier, fifth level! My god, the young alliance leader is only twenty years old! No wonder he became the young alliance leader! This advancement speed is faster than even traveling by starship!"

"The Star-Devouring Kunpeng truly lives up to its reputation as a superior mythical beast! The growth potential of such a legendary beast is indeed beyond the comprehension of us mortals." A knowledgeable old man stroked his beard, his eyes filled with amazement.

"High-quality beasts alone are useless; it all depends on the beast tamer! The little alliance leader's second talent is SSS-level! Mythical beast taming paired with an SSS-level talent—it's like adding wings to a tiger; it's hard not to be fast!" another person immediately chimed in, their tone full of envy.

"It's true what they say, comparisons are odious. If I had even a tenth, no, a hundredth, of the Little Alliance Leader's talent, I'd be laughing in my sleep!" A plain, talentless boy looked wistful.

"Who can argue with that! The young alliance leader even became the old alliance leader's apprentice. What kind of person is the old alliance leader? Even a little bit of resources he leaves behind would be enough for us to live on for a lifetime. The young alliance leader must have received the best training, so this speed of advancement is perfectly reasonable!" A thin, middle-aged beast tamer voiced his guess.

"Forget SSS-level, God, if I could just awaken an S-level talent, I could die in peace!" A boy who had not yet officially awakened his beast-taming talent looked up.

"Wake up! I'm satisfied with an A-rank! You can't have this kind of opportunity just by envying others..."

The spectators were abuzz with discussion, filled with shock, envy, and emotion, which made Zhou Heng stand out even more.

The atmosphere was even more enthusiastic in the main viewing area.
