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

Zhou Heng remained expressionless: "Just as my cousin said, it is a blessing for me and my tenth uncle to make Grandpa happy."

Yu Mingtang sighed, "You are indeed the most blessed person in our Zhou family."

Zhou Heng remained calm: "Grandpa has hundreds of grandchildren. Among these grandchildren, apart from me, my cousin is the most talented. My cousin is also very fortunate."

Yu Mingtang said in a low voice, "I am ultimately just an S-level talent, not comparable to you."

Zhou Heng said meaningfully, "S-level talent is also very impressive. My grandparents themselves are only S-level talents, as is my fourth uncle. In the future, my cousin may need to take care of family affairs more."

Yu Ming, Zhou Heng's cousin, understood the unspoken meaning in his words. His eyes were filled with complex emotions: "Cousin, do you know? There was a time when I considered you a rival. Back then, you only showed your first S-rank talent, and when I wanted to take over the position of family head from Fourth Uncle, you were an obstacle in my way. But now that I think about it, I was ridiculous. How could I, with only an S-rank talent, want to compete with you, a peerless genius with two talents, and whose second talent is SSS-rank? It was truly overestimating myself."

Zhou Heng's words were impeccable: "While the family values ​​unity, it does not oppose competition. Without competition, the place would be stagnant. Competition is what motivates family members to strive for excellence."

Yu Ming, the cousin, continued, "Originally, I didn't understand why Grandpa, Grandma, and even the Ancestor doted on you so much. It wasn't until last year when you revealed your second talent that I realized you truly deserved the special treatment from all the elders of the Zhou family. But back then, I still harbored a slight resentment. Today, I am completely convinced. I am already fifty years old and am only a fifth-tier Battle General Beastmaster, while you advanced to a fifth-tier Battle General Beastmaster at the age of twenty. The difference in talent is undeniable; I will never be your match."

Zhou Heng said earnestly, "Cousin, don't underestimate yourself. I heard from Grandpa that your main beast tamer is not far from the sixth rank. In another year or two at most, you will be able to advance to the sixth rank. At that time, you will also become a sixth-rank commander beast tamer. Compared with you, my beast tamer is still a step behind in level for the time being."

Yu Mingtang frowned: "This is different. You can catch up to this level difference very quickly. Not to mention that your main beast is of high-level mythical quality, and its combat power at the same level is comparable to that of a Chaos Beast. If we really fight, I'm afraid my main beast won't even be able to withstand a single move."

Zhou Heng said sincerely, "We are all family members connected by blood, and there is no need to insist on comparing who is superior. There is a saying that blood is thicker than water. No matter who becomes stronger, the family will ultimately benefit. As long as everyone is united under the family, everyone can benefit from it."

Yu Mingtang suddenly smiled and said, "No wonder the elders in the family all praise you. Not only is your talent far superior to mine, but your mind and vision are also far superior to mine."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Cousin, you're too kind. The fact that you're so open with me today proves that you're a person of genuine character."

Yu Mingtang said with some shame, "I am ashamed. I used to have too many selfish motives and schemes, and I failed to consider the overall situation. I am now willing to make amends, but I am afraid you will not accept it and that this will cause a rift between us."

Zhou Heng could actually understand his cousin Yu Ming, because before Zhou Heng appeared, Yu Ming was the only S-level talent among all of Zhou Heng's grandfather's grandchildren, and enjoyed special treatment for decades.

It's understandable that Yu Ming's cousin felt uncomfortable when Zhou Heng suddenly appeared and stole all the spotlight.

Today, Yu Ming's cousin has spoken frankly and clearly, which proves that Yu Ming is an upright person, and Zhou Heng will naturally not harbor any resentment because of this.

Zhou Heng immediately expressed his feelings: "Why did you say that, cousin? How could I have a disagreement with you? In this world, we judge by actions, not intentions. No matter what you think in your heart, you haven't harmed my interests in the slightest. On the contrary, when I asked you about university before, you patiently analyzed the pros and cons for me and introduced information about different universities. I have always remembered your kindness."

Yu Mingtang waved his hand: "This is nothing at all; it's common knowledge among aristocratic families."

Zhou Heng looked into his cousin Yu Ming's eyes and said firmly, "Cousin, we are all family. As long as you remember that, nothing else matters."

Yu Ming's cousin was stunned for a moment, then a look of relief appeared on his face: "I understand what you mean, cousin. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Cousin, you're too kind. If I ever need your help in the future, I will definitely ask you for help."

Yu Ming's cousin suddenly became extremely serious. He said solemnly, "I'm not talking about helping, I'm giving you an order. You are destined to be the leader of the family in the future, and I hope to assist you in leading the family to greater prosperity."

Zhou Heng did not refuse or hesitate, but stated directly and frankly: "Since my cousin trusts me so much, I will naturally not let him down. In the future, I will definitely make our family return to the ranks of top families and reach the pinnacle of the universe."

Yu Ming's cousin's eyes were filled with anticipation: "I'm really looking forward to this day."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng chatted with his cousin Yu Ming for a few more minutes, and then Zhou Heng suddenly said, "Cousin, I have something I need to ask you for help with."

Yu Mingtang said loudly, "As long as it's within my power, I will never refuse."

Zhou Heng stated his needs: "I would like to ask my cousin to help me find someone to customize a potion that has a strong enhancement effect on ice-attribute beast tamers, especially bear-type beast tamers below the fourth rank."

Yu Mingtang stroked his chin: "You've become the old alliance leader's disciple, and with the protection of many elders, you lack nothing. Besides, none of the beasts you've contracted specialize in ice-type attacks, nor do they have any bear-type beasts. So, this custom-made potion must be for someone else, right?"

Zhou Heng said frankly, "That's right, this is something I prepared for a friend of mine."

Yu Mingtang's eyes flickered: "I know this person. Some time ago, I accidentally met your friend who came from Xuanxiao Star. I think his name is Li Lang. I heard that you have a very good relationship with him. It seems that the rumors are true."

Zhou Heng shrugged: "It's a pity his talent is too ordinary; he needs external help to help him grow stronger."

Yu Ming's cousin said directly, "Leave this to me. I happen to know quite a few pharmacists, and I will definitely send you the appropriate medicine within ten days."

Zhou Heng's eyes sparkled: "Then I thank you very much, cousin."

Yu Mingtang raised his eyebrows: "We're brothers, no need for thanks."

Zhou Heng immediately took out his communicator and sent the detailed information about the Frost Bear King to his cousin Yu Ming.

With this, it will be easier to find someone to customize the medicine.
