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

Marquis Tianyin stepped forward, his face filled with barely suppressed astonishment: "The fourth rank generates a domain, and the fifth rank undergoes a transformation. Therefore, the difference between the fourth and fifth ranks is enormous. Junior Uncle's Star-Devouring Kunpeng was able to easily overcome such a large gap in ranks to instantly kill the Triangular Hammer-Tailed Earth Dragon. It truly deserves to be a superior mythical-quality beast!"

Qianrenhou stood to the side, his brows also showing shock: "I've heard that ordinary high-level mythical beasts are no match for the Star-Devouring Kunpeng among their peers. The Star-Devouring Kunpeng's true combat power is enough to go toe-to-toe with low-level Chaos-quality beasts among their peers."

Zhou Heng did not hide the power of the Devouring Star Kunpeng: "Wuji is indeed quite special. To some extent, it can be regarded as a beast of chaotic quality."

Hearing Zhou Heng's praise, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng shook its head proudly, emitting a pleasant buzzing sound.

It even deliberately shook off non-existent dust from its body, then elegantly raised one of its pectoral fins, as if killing a fifth-tier transcendent creature was nothing more than a trivial matter.

This scene was clearly seen by the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon on Zhou Heng's wrist.

A small silver dragon coiled around Zhou Heng's left wrist like an exquisite bracelet. Its jewel-like blue eyes blinked, revealing a hint of envy.

As a mid-level overlord-quality beast, it was already stronger than most beasts in the world, but it still felt inferior in front of the high-level mythical-quality Star-Devouring Kunpeng.

The colorful phoenix perched on Zhou Heng's left shoulder gently shook its feathers, its multicolored plumage shimmering in the sunlight, and sighed inwardly.

Although it was the most sensible, it also cared a lot about the strength of its opponents. To it, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng was like a mountain with no end in sight, which it could not overcome in the short term.

Meanwhile, the Eternal Night Dragon, perched on Zhou Heng's right shoulder, tightened its purple fleshy wings.

It stared at the Star-Devouring Kunpeng with its red eyes, its heart churning with complex emotions.

The Eternal Night Dragon was known for its unruly nature, but it had to admit that if it were to fight the Star-Devouring Kunpeng to the death, it probably wouldn't last a single round.

All three of them are mid-level overlord-quality beasts, which are extremely rare in the outside world.

In the hands of any beast tamer, it would be a trump card.

But following Zhou Heng and living day and night with the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, a being of mythical quality, they always felt that they were not good enough.

Zhou Heng sensed their emotional fluctuations through the Beast Taming Contract. He reached out and stroked the dragon horn of the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea on his wrist, then touched the feathers of the Azure Phoenix with Colorful Wings on his shoulder with his fingertips, and finally pinched the tail of the Eternal Night Demon Dragon.

His movements were gentle, and his eyes were full of love for the three little ones.

"You three did a great job today too."

Zhou Heng smiled and praised, "Jiuxiao showed me the power of the Five Virtues Divine Fire, which is fantastic. Feihong and Tyrant, although you didn't make a move, I can judge your level based on your past training. You three are all good kids."

A warm feeling welled up in the hearts of the three beast tamers.

They knew very well that although the Star-Devouring Kunpeng was the strongest, Zhou Heng never favored it. On the contrary, because Zhou Heng was worried that they would feel inferior due to the difference in quality, he often gave them extra attention and encouragement.

In terms of training resources, Zhou Heng never shortchanged them. He even chose to distribute the miraculous spiritual energy fairly, sometimes even giving it a slight bias towards the three of them.

This gives them a strange sense of security.

Sensing the emotions of his three companions, the originally smug Kunpeng immediately toned down his boastful attitude.

It swam to Zhou Heng's wrist, gently touched the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon with the tip of its nose, and then winked at the Colorful Winged Azure Phoenix and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon.

In its divine Kun form, the Devouring Star Kunpeng is gentle and kind, possessing a quality that embraces all things. It never uses its strength to suppress other beasts, but instead gets along very well with the Rainbow Winged Azure Phoenix, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng led the four beasts back to the core area of ​​the Xuanxiao Mountains. There, they found another mid-level diamond-ranked Earthshaking Rock Rhinoceros, which had reached the fifth tier, tenth level.

The Earth-Shaking Rock Rhinoceros is bluish-gray all over, one kilometer long, and has a single horn standing upright on its forehead.

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng formed another miniature black hole in its mouth, and its immense devouring power firmly sucked the Earth-Shaking Rock Rhinoceros in, making it unable to break free no matter how much it roared and struggled.

In the end, the Earthshaking Rock Rhinoceros, like the previous Triangular Hammertail Earth Dragon, was powerless to resist and was swallowed by the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, becoming its food.

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng was at the fourth tier, eighth level, while the Earth-Shaking Rock Rhinoceros was at the fifth tier, tenth level. The difference in their levels was huge, yet the Star-Devouring Kunpeng was able to overcome so many levels and instantly kill the Earth-Shaking Rock Rhinoceros. This is enough to prove that the quality of the beast has a great influence on its combat power.

Tianyin Hou's tone was filled with undisguised envy: "I really envy Junior Uncle for having such a powerful contract partner! It's only been a short time since the contract was formed, and his combat power is already so terrifying."

Zhou Heng smiled gently: "Although Wuji is powerful, you don't need to envy me. Your contracted partners are also quite good. The Light Dragon and the Dark Dragon have mutually reinforcing and restraining attributes, yet they are of one mind. Their cooperation is seamless, and they even have rare combined attack skills with extraordinary power."

Qianrenhou shook his head and said, "Junior Uncle, you flatter me. As our brothers' main beasts, we have poured countless efforts into them, yet they are still stuck at the lower-level overlord quality. They seem to be just one step away from the middle-level overlord, but in reality, they are as far as the sky. Unlike you, Junior Uncle, your four contracted partners, even the lowest quality one, are all middle-level overlords. Each of them has amazing potential and their future is limitless."

His words carried a subtle sense of anxiety.

A beast tamer's strength is closely related to the quality of their contracted partner. Anyone would be anxious if they were stuck at the evolution stage.

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have they initiated an evolutionary ritual?"

"It has been opened. With the support of the family's resources, we tried it three times."

Marquis Tianyin frowned, his voice filled with helplessness: "Unfortunately, they all failed. Each time it cost a fortune, yet we always fell short at the last moment."

Qianrenhou added, "The failure rate for beast evolution, especially the leap to the quality of a hegemon, is already quite high. Unless the beast shows signs of autonomous evolution, failing seven or eight times, or even more than ten times, is quite common. It's just that the resource consumption and psychological torment are really torturous."

Zhou Heng sensed the heaviness in their voices and comforted them, "You don't need to worry too much. After all, you are nominally Master's grand-disciples. Master won't just stand by and watch your beasts remain at the lower-level overlord quality. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, your beasts will surely evolve successfully."

Marquis Tianyin's eyes lit up: "If that's the case, we'll probably have to rely on Junior Uncle to put in a good word for us with Grandmaster in the future to create opportunities for us."
