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

Among these people, in addition to the group of sixth-rank commanders and above who reside on Xuanxiao Star, there are also the principals of the eight participating teams, including the principals of the four top beast-taming high schools.

Some of the participating students' parents held special positions and came along as well, such as Yan Haosen's father, Yan Yunguang, and Ling Yisheng's great-grandfather, the head of the Ling family.

A short while later, a blue crane, hundreds of meters long and with dragon horns on its head, descended from the sky.

It was Zhou's father's tamed beast, the Frost Blue Crane King, a fifth-tier, second-level beast.

Zhou's father and mother flew down from the back of the Frost Blue Crane King.

Many powerful figures, including the Ice Halberd Marquis who guarded Xuanxiao Town, all stood up and bowed, giving up the best seats so that Zhou's parents could sit in the chief seat like stars surrounding the moon.

Zhou's father casually responded to the crowd's compliments, then turned his attention to Yan Haosen's father, Yan Yunguang: "Yunguang, you're here today too?"

Yan Yunguang responded with a smile, "I couldn't miss the kids' competition."

Zhou's father casually remarked, "I just saw your son Haosen. What level is his Black Flame Nether Phoenix? It's already at the third tier, tenth level, right? It's probably not far from the fourth tier."

Yan Yunguang chuckled awkwardly, "Although Haosen has some talent, he can't compare to the Little Alliance Leader. His Black Flame Nether Phoenix is ​​only at the third rank, ninth level; he's still far from the fourth rank!"

Mr. Zhou teased, with a pointed remark, "You really are getting old; you're not as stubborn as you were when you were young."

Yan Yunguang flattered him subtly, saying, "Your Excellency, you seem even more spirited than when you were young."

Mr. Zhou looked around, then proudly raised his head: "Of course! My son's Star-Devouring Kunpeng already advanced to the fourth tier, tenth level back in May. Advancing to the fifth tier before the college entrance exam is a sure thing! As his father, of course I'm beaming with pride. You can only be envious!"

Upon hearing this, the entire observation deck on the main peak fell silent for a moment.

Yan Yunguang's expression froze: "What? The Star-Devouring Kunpeng reached the fourth tier, tenth level in May?"

The Ling family patriarch's eyes widened: "How is this possible?"

The others were equally shocked and didn't know how to respond.

Yan Yunguang was completely baffled: "I remember that in late February, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng was at the eighth level of the fourth rank. How could it have broken through two minor realms and advanced to the tenth level of the fourth rank within three months?"

The Ling family patriarch was filled with doubt and surprise: "Yes, even with SSS-level talent, it shouldn't be this powerful. I've read historical records; most SSS-level talent awakeners only manage to cultivate their Beast Taming to the fourth tier, tenth level, right before the college entrance exam..."

Zhou's father said smugly, "Don't forget the Supreme One of the Seas! He cultivated his Beast Taming to the fifth level during the college entrance examination."

The Ice Halberd Marquis, guarding Xuanxiao Town, was utterly shocked: "Supreme Dinghai's talent was so extraordinary that cultivating a Beast Taming to the fifth rank, first level before the college entrance examination was an extremely rare case. Moreover, Supreme Dinghai was exceptionally outstanding even among SSS-level talent awakeners. Furthermore, Supreme Dinghai had already contracted a Mythical Beast Taming in his first year of high school. Our young leader has only been contracting a Mythical Beast Taming for a little over half a year, yet he has already reached a level that other SSS-level talents take three years to achieve. How astonishing!"

Zhou's father couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "My son's second talent is the Lord of Spiritual Source, which can infinitely enhance the bloodline and level of beast taming. The Star-Devouring Kunpeng is also a high-level mythical beast taming, so it's normal for it to be faster."

The Ling family patriarch, being a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer, was knowledgeable and quickly calmed down: "That's true. After all, although our Xuanwu Ling family's Dinghai ancestor and Little Ancestor both have the same SSS-level talent, their talent types are different. One is good at direct combat, while the other is good at assisting beast tamers to quickly improve their strength. They each have their own strengths."

The Ice Halberd Marquis, the guardian of Xuanxiao City, chimed in, "Now I understand. The Supreme Lord Dinghai only contracted a mid-level mythical-quality beast back then, while the Little Alliance Leader contracted a high-level mythical-quality beast. Although the Little Alliance Leader's improvement speed was beyond our expectations, upon closer examination, it is still reasonable."

Upon hearing this, the Ling family patriarch sighed, "Even so, the fact that the young ancestor could surpass the Dinghai Ancestor in his youth in terms of the speed of advancement in beast taming is enough to make countless beast tamers of later generations look up to him."

Yan Yunguang loudly flattered, "Young Alliance Leader, you possess the qualities of a supreme being!"

The Ice Halberd Marquis, guarding Xuanxiao Town, smiled obsequiously: "Congratulations to the two special envoys..."

Everyone showered Mr. and Mrs. Zhou with flattery, which they thoroughly appreciated.

"Buzz~~"

Suddenly, a long and deep humming sound came from the horizon, and everyone felt a jolt in their hearts, even the seventh-level feudal lord beast tamers such as the Ice Halberd Marquis of Xuanxiao Town and the Ling family patriarch.

Then, the sky darkened, the miniature sun in the Thousand Sound Blessed Land was blocked, and a golden divine Kun, 240 kilometers long (240,000 meters in size), streaked across the sky, crushing the boundless clouds, and leisurely appeared above everyone's heads.

This colossal beast is none other than the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, which has reverted to its normal size.

The Kunpeng that devoured stars merely hovered above everyone's heads, yet it felt like a comet colliding with Earth, bringing an unimaginable sense of oppression, and most people became mentally disoriented.

Faced with an existence like the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, they deeply realized just how insignificant they truly were.

On the frozen lakeshore, atop eight stone platforms, forty prodigies from eight planets stared in disbelief, speechless with astonishment, some even trembling with fear, their fighting spirit completely extinguished.

At this moment, they clearly realized just how vast the gap was between themselves and Zhou Heng, this unparalleled SSS-level genius!

It's not the difference between a stream and the Yangtze River, nor the difference between a puddle and the sea, but the difference between a grain of sand and a star!

They originally thought they would be relegated to a supporting role when facing Zhou Heng.

But now they realize that they are not even qualified to be the supporting characters to highlight Zhou Heng, the leading man.

They only deserve to look up to Zhou Heng.

Among these forty people, the most talented was only S-level. To be Zhou Heng's foil, one had to be an SS-level talent, a talent that only appears once every few decades.

"This is the Star-Devouring Kunpeng? It's enormous! Its back could probably build a city!"

"A beast of superior mythical quality, truly living up to its reputation!"

"That's incredible!"

"Such a massive body, even the Thousand Sounds Blessed Land can barely contain it!"

"With such a terrifying existence, how are the other eight teams supposed to challenge it? I'm afraid the Little Alliance Leader could just blow a breath and all eight teams would be wiped out."

"Only a junior alliance leader with SSS-level talent is worthy of contracting such a powerful beast."

"Greetings, Young Alliance Leader!"

"Young Alliance Leader, you are mighty!"

"Greetings..."

Below, someone started a commotion, and the many spectators on the surrounding mountain peaks began to shout. Some bowed to Zhou Heng, some expressed their respect to him, and some waved their arms excitedly...

These people looked up and could only see the golden belly of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng that covered the sky. They couldn't see Zhou Heng on the back of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng at all, but they knew that Zhou Heng was on the back of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng.

Because Zhou Heng descended riding the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, they were too weak to even catch a glimpse of his true appearance. This stark contrast further fueled their admiration for Zhou Heng.
