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

As they were talking, a figure dressed in a wide purple robe with white beard and white hair descended from the sky and landed in front of Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng immediately said, "Ancestor!"

Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren said in unison, "Greetings, Senior Wanbao."

Ancestor Wanbao looked at the Devouring Star Kunpeng and Zhou Heng with a loving gaze: "Heng'er, you've advanced to a fifth-tier Battle General Beast Tamer?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "That's right. Wuji just broke through from the fourth rank, tenth level to the fifth rank, first level, and I have also officially been promoted to a fifth-rank battle general beast tamer."

Ancestor Wanbao laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Excellent! Heng'er, you have truly given me a pleasant surprise! You are indeed a rare talent in our Zhou family! You have cultivated your Beast Taming to the fifth level so quickly."

Zhou Heng said sincerely, "All of this is inseparable from the family's nurturing of me, and even more so from the teachings of my ancestor."

Ancestor Wanbao patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder and said, "You can't say that. Your excellence is mainly due to your own abilities. You obtained the Star-Devouring Kunpeng from the Primordial Ancient Tree through your own second talent. In your daily training and taming of beasts, you mainly rely on your second talent. Although the family provides a lot of resources, their help is just icing on the cake."

Zhou Heng's eyes were clear: "Ancestor, I am a member of the Zhou family, and the glory I have achieved is the glory of the Zhou family."

Ancestor Wanbao nodded repeatedly: "Good child, I am very happy that you think this way. It is truly a blessing that our Zhou family has such a peerless genius as you! Your advancement to the fifth-level Battle General Beast Tamer today is a great event for the entire Zhou family. If there is anything you want, just tell me."

Zhou Heng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't want anything for now, because the family's resources are always provided to me indefinitely, so I lack nothing. If I want anything in the future, I'll talk to the patriarch about it, okay?"

Ancestor Wanbao said directly, "Of course you can. Whatever you want, you can come to me. Even if you want the stars in the sky, I can pluck them down for you."

Zhou Heng grinned: "Thank you, Ancestor!"

Zhou Heng then chatted with Ancestor Wanbao for a while before Ancestor Wanbao returned to the sky full of thunderclouds.

Not long after, the Zhou family patriarch, his wife, his parents, and several of Zhou Heng's uncles arrived at Ruilin Island. They beamed with joy as they looked at Zhou Heng, who was now a fifth-tier battle general and beast tamer.

The old patriarch Zhou looked on with satisfaction: "Heng'er, we originally thought you would have to wait until the time of the college entrance examination to advance to the fifth-level warrior beast tamer. After all, for beast tamers, there is a huge gap between the peak of the fourth level and the early stage of the fifth level. Even mythical beast tamers have to pause for a while. We did not expect that you would cultivate the Star Devouring Kunpeng to the first level of the fifth level so quickly. It really surprised and delighted us, and caught us a little off guard."

Zhou Heng smiled calmly: "It's mainly because Wuji is of high quality, and my second talent is specifically designed to assist in the growth of beast taming, so my advancement is relatively fast."

The old patriarch of the Zhou family had been closely watching Zhou Heng: "What you said makes sense, but besides that, the fact that the Devouring Star Kunpeng was able to advance so quickly is also inseparable from your efforts. These days, whenever you have free time, you take your four tamed beasts to train on Ruilin Island, which we have all witnessed."

With a kind expression, Madam Zhou added from the side, "Moreover, besides the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, the Overturning-Sea Silver Dragon, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon are also advancing at an extremely fast pace. They are only mid-level overlord beasts, but they are already close to advancing to the late stage of the fourth tier. This proves that the beasts you contract, even if they are not of mythical quality, advance at a much faster pace than the beasts contracted by others. It is evident that you have a lot of experience in cultivating beasts."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng said solemnly, "Grandpa and Grandma, thank you for your recognition. I will continue to work hard and will never let you down."

The Zhou family patriarch and matriarch exchanged a glance, their voices filled with expectation: "My dear grandson, we believe that you will become the most dazzling star in the universe in the future."

The eldest uncle chimed in, "Heng'er, we're all so happy for you that you've advanced so quickly."

Zhou Heng smiled in response: "Thank you, Uncle."

Fourth Uncle immediately proposed, "Heng'er is only twenty years old and has already advanced to become a fifth-level Battle General Beastmaster. This is a great joy and should be celebrated by the whole family! I will immediately send a message to all the elders and have them lead the direct descendants to hold a banquet for Heng'er so that everyone in the family can share in the joy."

Zhou Heng shook his head and stopped him, saying, "Fourth Uncle, let's just forget about it! I'm only advancing to the fifth-tier Battle General Beast Tamer, not the seventh-tier Lord Beast Tamer. There's no need to be so high-profile."

According to the rules, in large aristocratic families, only those who become seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers can be considered to have truly entered the inner circle.

Uncle Shi said, "With your talent, let alone a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer, an eighth-level monarch beast tamer and a ninth-level emperor beast tamer would be a piece of cake for you. Even a tenth-level supreme beast tamer would be within your reach. No matter how high-profile you are, it's not high-profile."

Mr. Zhou chimed in, "Yes! My dear son, you are naturally destined to be radiant and praised by the world. There's no need for you to be so modest and humble."

Zhou's mother said softly, "My dear son, this time you'll listen to us!"

Seeing this, Zhou Heng had no choice but to go along with his relatives: "Since all my uncles and parents have said so, then I'll listen to you and hold a family banquet to celebrate with the clan!"

Fourth Uncle patted his chest and confidently declared, "Leave this to me, I'll arrange it right away."

The news of Zhou Heng's advancement to a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer spread quickly within the family, causing cheers and excitement.

The next day, a grand banquet was held on Ruilin Island to celebrate Zhou Heng's successful advancement to a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer at the age of twenty.

Those who could attend the banquet were all of high status among the direct descendants of the clan. As the center of the banquet, Zhou Heng was fawned over by everyone and heard many words of praise, flattery, compliments and sycophancy.

Faced with so many flowers and applause, most people would be carried away, but Zhou Heng has the experience of two lifetimes. He knows that all of this is due to his talent, so he keeps a calm mind and appears exceptionally composed.

This move drew even more praise from the direct descendants of the clan for Zhou Heng.

After the banquet, Zhou Heng's second uncle's son, his cousin Zhou Yuming, found Zhou Heng.

He said to Zhou Heng with emotion, "Our lineage is becoming more and more prosperous! First there was Uncle Shi, with his SS-level talent, and now there's you, my cousin, with your SSS-level talent. No wonder Grandpa has been all smiles these past few days whenever I see him."

The three most talented people in the Zhou family are Zhou Heng, Ancestor Wanbao, and Tenth Uncle. Two of them are direct descendants of the old Zhou family head, which naturally makes the old Zhou family head happy.
