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

The next day, Zhou Heng returned to the Canglan Plane with his master's reward. He found that people from various families in Yuandu had already caught wind of the news and sent New Year's gifts that almost filled Bixi Island.

Even the Yan family of Huofeng came.

Feng Yong's tone was filled with barely suppressed excitement and emotion: "Young Master, the Heavenly King of the Fire Phoenix Yan family has personally led a troop to deliver congratulatory gifts, and the patriarch of the White Horse Wei family has also come along!"

Qiongtian King of the Yan family of Fire Phoenix is ​​an eighth-level Monarch Beast Tamer, known as the third ancestor of the Yan family of Fire Phoenix. Within the Yan family of Fire Phoenix, he is the strongest person besides Emperor Cangwu and King Chunqiu. He also serves as the chief councilor of the Hunter Association.

The Wei family of Baima is a small aristocratic family. The patriarch of the Wei family, the strongest member of the family, is just an ordinary seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer.

The Yan family of Fire Phoenix is ​​one of the top families and undoubtedly the number one family within the Beast Tamer Guild, with a profound foundation that goes without saying.

In the past, the Yan family of Huofeng had never even taken the initiative to send gifts during festivals, let alone have someone like King Qiongtian personally deliver gifts to their door.

Such a spectacle is unprecedented.

The White Horse Wei family and the Fire Phoenix Yan family both belong to the Beast Tamer Guild and have always followed the lead of the Fire Phoenix Yan family.

Although they had previously been very respectful to the Zhou family, during festivals they would usually only send a sixth-level commander beast tamer, who was also the current head of the Wei family, instead of having the Wei family patriarch come in person.

After all, the Wei family of Baima only had one seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer, the Wei family patriarch.

Although a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer is nothing special to the Zhou family of the Divine Dragon Clan, it holds extraordinary significance within the Wei family of the White Horse Clan.

"I understand." Zhou Heng said calmly, seemingly unsurprised, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Feng Yong, however, could not hide his excitement and said in a low voice, "Young Master, in the past, it was always our Shenlong Zhou family who prepared generous gifts to visit the Huofeng Yan family. Now, the tables have turned."

Zhou Heng smiled calmly, with a sense of worldly wisdom: "You get what you're given based on your strength, that's normal."

Feng Yong said proudly, "This is all thanks to you, young master! Now that you are the junior leader of the alliance, even top families like the Yan family of Fire Phoenix would not dare to underestimate you in the slightest."

Zhou Heng shook his head, seeing things more clearly: "The Yan family of Fire Phoenix is ​​no ordinary family. With the Cangwu Emperor in charge in the present era, and the tenth-tier beast left behind by the Miaoyi Supreme protecting them in secret, they are very confident! Why would they bow down just because of an SSS-level talent like mine that has not yet fully matured?"

Feng Yong had full confidence in Zhou Heng: "Although the Yan family of Fire Phoenix has a ninth-level Emperor Beast Tamer and a tenth-level Beast Tamer left behind by the Supreme Miaoyi, young master, you have unparalleled talent. Sooner or later, you will also be able to reach the Emperor realm, and you may even have a better chance of reaching the legendary Supreme realm! They naturally dare not underestimate the future potential of our Divine Dragon Zhou family."

"Even if everything goes smoothly, it will still take me hundreds of years of hard work to advance to the ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer. As for the tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer, the road ahead is even longer."

Zhou Heng calmly analyzed, "The reason why the Yan family of Fire Phoenix is ​​adopting such a humble posture now is mainly because my master, Emperor Xuan Chen, is about to advance to the tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer. Their goodwill towards us is just for show for my master."

Feng Yong sincerely flattered, "Your ability to become a disciple of Emperor Xuanchen is a testament to your own skill! After all, your second talent is an SSS-level Spirit Source Master! In the Alliance's more than six thousand years of history, including you, only thirteen such individuals have ever emerged!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng did not continue the topic.

Demonstrating strength, raising expectations for the future, and maintaining relationships are all important, but they all require time to mature.

He turned and walked out of the inner room.

In the courtyard, four shrunken-sized beasts were resting.

The colorful-winged phoenix preened its feathers with its beak on the parasol tree, the silver dragon lazily coiled on the jade table under the tree, the eternal night demon dragon lay quietly in the shadows, fast asleep, and the star-devouring Kunpeng in its divine Kun form, which was originally slowly swimming in mid-air, immediately pounced on Zhou Heng when it saw him come out.

The Azure Phoenix with Colorful Wings and the Silver Dragon that Overturns the Sea followed closely behind and flew to Zhou Heng's side, while the Eternal Night Demon Dragon slept the most soundly.

Zhou Heng interacted with them for a while, a relaxed smile appearing on his face, temporarily putting aside all the conflicts of interest and family plans.

A short while later, Feng Zhong appeared in the courtyard and bowed to report: "Young Master, the Qiongtian King of the Fire Phoenix Yan family, along with the family's prodigy Yan Haosen, the current patriarch of the White Horse Wei family, and the Wei family's young master Wei Qingwen, are requesting an audience outside the gate."

Zhou Heng's lips curled into a playful smile: "Oh? Interesting."

Feng Yong, who was standing to the side, stepped forward half a step and whispered, "Young Master, would you like to see them?"

Zhou Heng sat under the paulownia tree, holding the colorful-winged phoenix in his arms, his expression calm and unwavering: "I won't see the Sky King of the Yan family and the patriarch of the Wei family. Let Grandpa and the others entertain them! As for Yan Haosen and Wei Qingwen, they are my peers, so it's fine to meet them."

Considering his current status, he is ostensibly slightly lower than an ordinary ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer, but slightly higher than an ordinary eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamer. Therefore, he can completely refuse to meet with King Qiongtian and the Wei family patriarch.

It wasn't that he was deliberately trying to show off or intimidate the two families; it was just that these old guys, who had lived for hundreds of years, were all shrewd and capable, and talking to them was too exhausting. Zhou Heng preferred chatting with younger people.

"Yes." Feng Zhong accepted Zhou Heng's order without thinking about the reason and left immediately.

A moment later, the two boys entered the courtyard, led by Feng Zhong.

The boy on the left, dressed in pleasing gold attire and with delicate features, is none other than Wei Qingwen.

The boy on the right was dressed in red, with an undisguised arrogance and haughtiness in his eyes and brows; he was Yan Haosen.

When their gazes fell upon Zhou Heng in the courtyard, the two immediately suppressed their inherent arrogance as proud members of aristocratic families, bowing respectfully and saying, "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng raised his hand, and a gentle, invisible force lifted the two of them up: "There's no need for formalities here."

"Thank you, Young Alliance Leader." The two said in unison, straightening their posture.

Zhou Heng's gaze first fell on Wei Qingwen, a familiar smile breaking the slightly serious atmosphere: "Qingwen, aren't you going to introduce me to the person next to you?"

Wei Qingwen stepped forward, turned his body to the side, and introduced, "Reporting to the young alliance leader, his name is Yan Haosen. He is the most beloved grandson of the old patriarch Yan, and like me, he has ordinary S-level talent."

Yan Haosen immediately picked up the conversation, his voice clear and bright, brimming with the vibrant energy unique to young people, yet his attitude was extremely humble: "Young Alliance Leader, as a supreme prodigy who has awakened an SSS-level talent, you are renowned throughout the Alliance and the universe! I have long admired your name, but have never had the chance to meet you, which I deeply regret. Hearing that my elders are coming to the Zhou family of Shenlong to pay New Year's respects, I specially requested to accompany them, just to witness your brilliance..."
