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

The ten beasts of the Divine Flame Squad lasted less than twenty seconds before being instantly killed by Zhou Heng's weakest beast.

The audience at the scene couldn't help but discuss and react in various ways upon seeing this.

Some were disappointed that they didn't see the Star-Devouring Kunpeng make a move, some admired Zhou Heng even more, and many more stood up from their seats, waving their hands to express their excitement.

"You won already?"

"That was way too fast! I didn't see anything!"

"How come the people of Shenyan Ancient Star are so weak? They couldn't even last a minute!"

"I expected this result. This kind of crushing defeat is boring. I still prefer a close, evenly matched battle."

"Wasn't it said that mythical beasts would participate in the battle? This dragon doesn't seem to be a mythical beast, does it?"

"What are you thinking? Do you really need a Mythical Beast Tamer to deal with just a few Tier 3 Elite Beast Tamers?"

"Do you even know what quality this dragon is? A mid-tier overlord! You just evolved your beast to low-tier silver quality last month, and you're already complaining about an overlord beast!"

"It's not that I'm disgusted, it's just that I feel a little regretful that I didn't see Kunpeng make a move."

"The young alliance leader is truly amazing. Even his weakest beast can crush a prodigy of the same age."

"Indeed! The four prodigies from the Xuanwu Ling family, the Huofeng Yan family, the Mingdie Huo family, and the Taotie Zou family would have been contenders for the top scorer in the college entrance examination in previous years, but now they have been overshadowed by the young alliance leader. It's a real pity."

"Those four are just not as good as the young alliance leader. They're only twenty years old and almost at the fourth-tier grandmaster level. You're over fifty this year, and your strongest beast tamer is only at the third-tier sixth level. What right do you have to pity them?"

"Long live the young alliance leader!"

"Young Alliance Leader..."

As time went on, the discussions below grew increasingly heated.

Zhou Heng didn't care about the reactions of the people below. With a thought, the Eternal Night Dragon flew back to his side.

The Eternal Night Dragon said smugly, "Old Deng, I did it! I defeated the Divine Flame Squad in just twenty seconds without using any domains or powerful skills. Shouldn't you take back what you said?"

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "I take back what I said. You are not the weakest among my contracted partners."

The Eternal Night Dragon raised its head: "That's more like it!"

It then asked, "Then who is the weakest?"

Zhou Heng smiled but didn't answer directly: "Anyway, it's not you."

Both the Azure Phoenix with Colorful Wings and the Silver Dragon that Covers the Sea wore expressions that were neither smiling nor frowning.

The Eternal Night Dragon frowned: "Old Deng, why do I feel like you're just giving me the runaround?"

Zhou Heng shrugged: "You're being too sensitive."

The Eternal Night Dragon curled its lip: "Hmph!"

Then, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng flicked its tail, instantly breaking through the clouds and disappearing from the spot with Zhou Heng and the other three beasts.

Everyone immediately felt a sense of relief, and the dark sky caused by the enormous size of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng brightened up again.

On the main peak viewing platform, a group of powerful figures flattered Zhou's parents, praising them for having a fine son who would surely bring unparalleled glory to the Zhou family in the future.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou accepted all the compliments from the crowd without hesitation.

Giving birth to Zhou Heng, this unparalleled prodigy, is indeed the proudest thing in their lives.

Zhou's father then spoke up, "Now that the champion, third place, and runner-up have been decided, shouldn't we let them come up on stage to receive their awards?"

The Ice Halberd Marquis of Xuanxiao Town immediately replied, "I will follow the special envoy's orders."

Then came the awards ceremony.

The first place winner was naturally the Xuanxiao team led by Zhou Heng. After Zhou Heng left, Li Lang accepted the award on his behalf.

The second runner-up was the Shenyan team led by Huo Yanwei and Zou Huizhen.

The third place went to the Weilin Squad led by Ling Yisheng.

After the awards ceremony, the powerful figures, led by the Ice Halberd Marquis of Xuanxiao Town, bid farewell to Zhou's parents and left first, followed by the remaining audience members who also departed from Tianyin Blessed Land.

Below, several media outlets, including reporter Hu from the naval base, took the opportunity to approach Li Lang and his group and interview them.

……

the other side.

"My good son, this is the championship trophy, which Li Lang accepted for you, along with other prizes." Zhou's father handed over a golden trophy and four high-grade fourth-tier magical artifacts.

Zhou Heng casually put away the golden trophy and four high-grade fourth-tier treasures.

In addition to five golden trophies, the champion team of the Alliance Beast Taming Youth Team Friendship Tournament will also receive five high-grade fourth-tier treasures as a reward.

The Xuanxiao team's victory this time was entirely due to Zhou Heng's efforts. Li Lang, Gao Wenwu, He Hongmei, and Ji Chao were just there to fill in the numbers. Therefore, it was perfectly reasonable for Zhou Heng to take four of the five top-grade fourth-tier treasures among the prizes.

This was because Li Lang considered Zhou Heng's personality. If he gave Zhou Heng all five top-grade fourth-tier treasures, Zhou Heng would definitely not accept them. Therefore, the other four of them left one top-grade fourth-tier treasure and sent Zhou Heng four top-grade fourth-tier treasures instead.

As for how to divide the remaining fourth-grade high-quality treasure, it's easy. Just send it to the auction house and auction it off, and the four people can split the auction proceeds in Alliance Coins equally.

Zhou's mother stepped forward and patted Zhou Heng on the back of the head: "My precious son really made us proud today! When the Star-Devouring Kunpeng appeared, even those seventh-level feudal lords' beast tamers turned pale. It shows how powerful our precious son is."

Mr. Zhou nodded with a smile: "An SSS-level talent is to be this amazing!"

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, please stop praising me. You're making me blush."

Mr. Zhou said directly, "You are a chosen one, born to be surrounded by flowers and applause. No matter how much you are praised, you deserve it."

With a gentle smile on her face, Zhou's mother said, "I feel like I haven't praised you enough. You're so outstanding, there's nothing else we can do to help you, so we can only praise you more. It's our way of doing our part as parents."

Zhou Heng said sincerely, "I am so outstanding because of my parents. After all, they gave me life. If my parents hadn't gotten together, I wouldn't be the outstanding person I am today."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were overjoyed: "Now that you say that, we feel even more proud and honored."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng chatted with his parents for a few more minutes, and the family of three immediately went to the dining table to begin their meal.

The atmosphere was joyful and harmonious, filled with happiness.

……

On a starship returning to the ancient planet of Shenyan.

The atmosphere was somber for the Shenyan team, which had won second place.

The principal of Shen Du Key Beast Taming High School approached Huo Yanwei and Zou Huizhen, comforting them, "Yanwei, Huizhen, you've done very well to achieve second place in this Alliance Youth Beast Taming Team Friendship Tournament, even under the pressure of the Alliance Leader. There will be additional rewards when you return to school."

Huo Yanwei said with a somber face: "In the end, we were just runners-up, not champions. When we were in the first year of high school, we thought that the championship of this year's League of Youth Beast Taming Team Friendship Tournament was a sure thing for us. After all, we were the only two students in the capital who had contracted with the Overlord Beast Tamer. I never expected that Zhou Yuheng would suddenly appear out of nowhere. All our efforts were just a joke in front of him."

The principal of the key Beast Taming High School in Shendu patiently comforted him, saying, "The young alliance leader has an SSS-level talent. Throughout history, few people can compare to him. It is not shameful for you to lose to him. At least you defeated Ling Yisheng from Weidu and Yan Haosen from Yuandu."

Zou Huizhen was in low spirits: "In the past, we actually looked down on students who were not as talented as us and whose family backgrounds were not as good as ours. But now, in front of the Little Alliance Leader, we finally experienced the feeling of being looked down upon and ignored. This feeling is really uncomfortable."
