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

Above, apart from Zhou Heng's parents, the Ice Halberd Marquis, the guardian of Xuanxiao Town, led a group of powerful figures and swiftly arrived before Zhou Heng, bowing respectfully and saying, "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng waved his hand: "No need for formalities."

Everyone said in unison, "Thank you, Young Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng said directly, "It's almost time; the semi-finals should begin soon."

The Ice Halberd Marquis, guarding Xuanxiao Town, immediately ordered those behind him, "Who's the referee? Get on the field!"

"Yes, sir." Blue light immediately emanated from the center of the Third Middle School principal's forehead, summoning a moon-white pelican over a thousand meters in size.

His main beast was originally a mid-grade diamond-quality Moon Pelican. With the help of a lot of resources that Zhou Heng gave him half a year ago, he recently started an evolution ritual. After failing six times in a row, he finally evolved the Moon Pelican into a high-grade diamond-quality Star Moon Pelican.

The Star Moon Pelican was still at the fifth tier, tenth level, but its aura was three times more ethereal than the original Bright Moon Pelican, and it also carried a sense of dazzling brilliance.

The resources Zhou Heng gave to the principal of No. 3 Middle School were not used up. With the resources left over, the Star Moon Pelican should be able to advance to the sixth rank in a few years, and the principal of No. 3 Middle School will also become a sixth-rank Commander Beastmaster.

The Star-Moon Pelican carried the principal of No. 3 Middle School down from the sky and landed beside the frozen lake that served as the arena.

At the same time, the principal of No. 3 Middle School also summoned the fifth-tier Soul-Sustaining Flower Spirit, which can quickly heal beasts.

On the other side of the sky, Zhou Heng said to the Ice Halberd Marquis and others guarding Xuanxiao Town, "You may all step back!"

The Ice Halberd Marquis, guarding Xuanxiao Town, invited, "Young Alliance Leader, your seat has been arranged. Please take a seat!"

Zhou Heng shook his head: "No need."

Seeing this, the Ice Halberd Marquis guarding Xuanxiao Town did not insist any further. He immediately bowed again before leading the group of experts back to the viewing platform on the main peak.

Many powerful figures secretly marveled at the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, which was the size of a large island.

Some powerful individuals have seen the Star-Devouring Kunpeng more than once, but each time they see it, they experience a completely new sense of awe.

Zhou Heng ignored what these people thought. Standing on the Devouring Star Kunpeng, he released his powerful spiritual energy, creating a 360-degree view overlooking the land below.

The mental power of a fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer is very strong after being enhanced by energy feedback. Even from a great distance, a sweep of mental power will reveal the details of things in his mind. There is no need to worry about his vision being obstructed when standing on the back of the enormous Star-Devouring Kunpeng.

First up were the teams from the second-level planet Huangsha Star and the first-level planet Bichao Star.

The Yellow Sand Squad was able to stand out among more than 600 level-two planets, which is no small feat. The leader of the squad has an S-level talent and has a mid-level diamond-quality beast in contract, which has reached the third tier, sixth level.

The other four team members all possess A-level talent, with beast-taming qualities ranging from silver to gold, and their strength is all below the third tier.

The captain of the Azure Tide Squad also possesses S-level talent and has a contracted high-grade diamond-quality beast, reaching the third tier, seventh level.

The other four team members also have A-level talents. One of them has a contract with a lower-level diamond beast, which is at the third tier and first level. The other three have contracted with gold beasts, and all three beasts are below the third tier.

The final result was no surprise; the Yellow Sands team lasted less than three minutes before being defeated.

Then it was the turn of the two teams from the two level-one planets, Ziyan Star and Yunyin Star. The configurations of these two teams were similar to those of Bichao Star. After half an hour, Ziyan Star had a slight advantage.

Then came the competition between the teams from the four core planets.

The worst-equipped team was the Tianqian Ancient Star team. All five members came from small aristocratic families. Although they all had S-level talents and had contracted high-level diamond-quality beasts, the team leader's strength reached the eighth level of the third tier, and the strength of the four team members reached the seventh level of the third tier. However, compared to the other three teams with overlord beasts, they were completely outmatched.

The best-equipped team is the Shenyan Ancient Star team, all five members have S-level talents, two of whom come from large aristocratic families, and their main contracted beasts are of lower-level overlord quality, one is at the third tier tenth level and the other is at the third tier nineth level.

The three teammates come from small aristocratic families, and their main contracted beasts are of high-grade diamond quality, all of which have reached the third tier and seventh level.

Next up was the team from Weilin Ancient Star, led by Ling Yisheng from the Xuanwu Ling family. His main beast was a Crystal Rock Xuanwu of lower-level overlord quality, which he had already cultivated to the third tier, tenth level.

The other four teammates are S-level prodigies from small aristocratic families. Their contracts are all with high-level diamond beast tamers, and their levels have all reached the third tier, seventh level.

Next was the team from Yuanli Ancient Star, led by Yan Haosen of the Fire Phoenix Yan family. His main beast was the Black Flame Nether Phoenix, a lower-level overlord-quality creature, which he had cultivated to the third tier, ninth level.

Wei Qingwen, from the small but powerful Bai Ma Wei family, was also in his team. Wei Qingwen's main beast, the Wind Riding Pegasus, was of diamond quality and had reached the third tier, seventh level.

The other three people also contracted with high-level diamond beast tamers, who had also reached the third tier, seventh level.

Just by looking at the quality and level of these beasts, it's easy to analyze who will win and who will lose.

Zhou Heng stood atop the Devouring Star Kunpeng's head, gazing at the battle below, and grew increasingly bored.

The Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, now shrunk to the size of a palm, noticed Zhou Heng's change in mood and quickly tilted its head to ask, "Daddy, why are you unhappy?"

Zhou Heng said expressionlessly, "The fights between these teams are quite boring."

Caiyi Qingfeng chimed in, "Their strength is too weak. The strongest one is Ling Yisheng, whom we met last time. He is only at the third level, tenth stage. With Dad's current perspective, he naturally finds it uninteresting."

Zhou Heng explained, "It's not just that. I always felt like they were just slacking off and not taking the game seriously."

The Eternal Night Dragon couldn't help but retort, "Old Deng, isn't what you're saying obvious? With you around, first place is already decided. What's the point of them fighting tooth and nail? After all that effort, they'll only get second place at best. Besides, their raw strength is already clear before they even step onto the field. Why bother fighting to the death?"

Zhou Heng casually remarked, "But they're young after all. I thought they'd get carried away with their enthusiasm!"

The Night Demon Dragon spoke his mind: "Getting carried away won't win you. It will only be a stepping stone for you, making your victory even more spectacular! If I were one of these contestants, I would also choose to coast, or even forfeit, so that you, old man, won't have a satisfying victory."

Zhou Heng was instantly amused: "You think everyone is as uncouth as you? Slacking off is one thing, but forfeiting is another."

The Eternal Night Dragon rolled its eyes: "It's all the same result anyway! You humans are so strange. Everyone knows you're the strongest Beastmaster this year, why not just give you the championship? Why bother with this fake competition? It's such a waste of time."

Zhou Heng pinched the fleshy wings of the Eternal Night Dragon: "You don't understand."

The Eternal Night Dragon scoffed, "I don't want to understand your convoluted schemes!"

The Silver Dragon of the Overturning Sea interjected, "This is called having a legitimate reason, and that's what humans care about most."

Zhou Heng nodded: "Feihong is right."
