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

Faced with the envious looks and flattery of the crowd, Li Lang felt increasingly proud.

Standing in this corner, Ji Chao watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he had managed to curry favor with the young leader, he could never compare to Li Lang's standing in the young leader's heart.

In order to gain the protection of the Little Alliance Leader, one must regularly offer resources to the Little Alliance Leader.

Li Lang, on the other hand, did not need to do so. Instead, the Little Alliance Leader fed Li Lang countless resources.

However, Ji Chao also understood the gap between himself and Li Lang.

He was just a dog of the Little Alliance Leader, but Li Lang was the Little Alliance Leader's good friend.

So Ji Chao quickly suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his mind, came to Li Lang, and joined the others in complimenting Li Lang.

After Zhang Peng and the others finished flattering Li Lang, they addressed the group, saying, "Alright, Li Lang and the young alliance leader grew up together since childhood. Such a precious friendship is something you can only envy. Now, focus on training your beasts! The lowest level among your beasts has already reached the second tier, tenth level. With a little effort, they can definitely advance to the third tier before the college entrance exam. Then you'll all be able to get into university, and your three years of hard work won't have been in vain. Do you understand?"

Everyone said in unison, "We understand."

……

half a month later.

That day, Zhou Heng was feeding his four beast tamers when Feng Zhong and Feng Yong came over together and respectfully reported, "Young Master, Young Master Yu Ming has been promoted to a sixth-level Commander Beast Tamer."

"This is a joyous occasion!" Zhou Heng immediately led his four well-fed and watered beasts to the island where his cousin Yu Ming lived.

Many of their direct descendants had already arrived. Upon seeing Zhou Heng, they all greeted him, and Zhou Heng responded with a smile.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng met the old head of the Zhou family, the old lady of the Zhou family, his father and mother, and several uncles.

Everyone gathered together, and they all smiled at the news that their cousin Yu Ming had been promoted to a sixth-level Commander Beast Tamer.

Because of the Dragon Cult's scourge more than fifty years ago, the Zhou family's mid-to-high-end combat power has suffered a decline. Now, the entire Zhou family only has more than eighty sixth-level commander beast tamers, which is far fewer than at its peak.

Therefore, every additional sixth-tier commander beast tamer is something to be happy about, as it at least indicates that the family's mid-level combat strength is gradually recovering.

Although mid-level combat power is not as important as top-level combat power, it is still related to the future succession of the family. Moreover, the more mid-level combat power there is, the greater the chance of top-level combat power emerging.

Even if these mid-level combatants cannot become top-tier combatants, they can still effectively resolve some family affairs.

After all, the family is so large and there are too many things to manage; it's impossible to let the top combatants handle everything.

Zhou Heng's grandparents praised his cousin Yu Ming, and his uncles also encouraged him. Finally, everyone took out some spiritual items and gave them to Yu Ming, hoping that he could continue to work hard and go further in the future.

Finally, these elders left one after another.

Zhou Heng did not leave with them, but instead went to the inner room with his cousin Yu Ming, where the two prepared to have a long talk.

Since Yu Ming and Zhou Heng had their heart-to-heart talk, their relationship has become very close, far surpassing that of their other cousins.

Zhou Heng's eyes were clear and bright like stars: "Congratulations, cousin. A sixth-level commander beast tamer in your fifties is quite outstanding even among the entire aristocratic families."

Yu Mingtang waved his hand: "This is nothing. Tenth Uncle had already advanced to the sixth-level Commander Beast Tamer when he was thirty-five years old."

Zhou Heng wore a flawless smile as he comforted him, "Uncle Shi has an SS-level talent. There are only about forty of them still alive in the entire universe. It's only natural that he advances faster. There's no need to compare yourself to Uncle Shi. At least among S-level talents, your speed is very fast, and that's enough."

Yu Ming poured himself and Zhou Heng each a cup of tea: "What my cousin said makes sense. You can't compare yourself to someone with far greater talent. You can only compare among people with equal talent."

Zhou Heng picked up his teacup: "It's good that my cousin understands this."

Suddenly, Yu Mingtang said, "I'm preparing to leave the family and head to Weidu."

Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

Yu Mingtang explained, "After advancing to the sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster, my strength won't increase much in the short term. Staying in the family won't be interesting, so I want to become a lecturer at Hanyue University."

Zhou Heng strongly agreed: "This is a good thing! The threshold for university lecturers is a sixth-level Commander Beastmaster, which is perfect for my cousin."

University mentors are mainly divided into two levels: lecturers and professors.

A sixth-tier commander-level beast tamer can become a lecturer, while a seventh-tier lord-level beast tamer can become a professor.

In addition, there is another type of teaching assistant, who is not a formal tutor and is mainly filled by outstanding students who have graduated from university.

Of course, even if one's abilities don't meet the requirements to become a university lecturer or professor, there is another way: having a high-level side job.

For example, sixth-tier pharmacists, sixth-tier blacksmiths, and diamond nurturing masters can become lecturers, while seventh-tier pharmacists, seventh-tier blacksmiths, and overlord nurturing masters can become professors.

Yu Ming's cousin then added, "I'll be setting off in a couple of days."

Zhou Heng immediately said, "Do you need me to escort my cousin? I can share the skills of the Star Devouring Kunpeng and send my cousin to Cold Moon University in an instant."

Yu Ming's cousin's face lit up with joy: "Then thank you very much, cousin."

After the two agreed, Zhou Heng took his leave.

Two days later, Zhou Heng personally escorted his cousin Yu Ming to the Cold Moon Cave Heaven, where Cold Moon University was located, before returning to the Canglan Plane.

In the days that followed, Zhou Heng's life returned to normal, and he continued to focus on training and nurturing his four beasts.

On ordinary days, the Frost Blue Crane King, the Hundred Flower Deer King, the Night Peacock, the Treasure-Gathering Merman, the Sky-Supporting Tyrant, and the Nine Heavens Wind Roc train together with the Colorful Winged Azure Phoenix, the Sea-Covering Silver Dragon, the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, and the Star-Devouring Kunpeng to improve their combat abilities.

On the other hand, all kinds of spiritual items are plentiful, whether they are spiritual flowers and herbs, spiritual fruits and springs, or the flesh and blood and crystal cores of various extraordinary creatures. As long as the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, the Eternal Night Demon Dragon and the Star-Devouring Kunpeng can digest them, all spiritual items will be supplied indefinitely.

With this two-pronged approach to training, Zhou Heng's four tamed beasts grew rapidly, and their strength increased extremely quickly.

Although Zhou Heng possesses the Spirit Source Pearl, the energy accumulation of his four tamed beasts is also very important. The more abundant the foundation they accumulate, the fewer Spirit Source Points they will consume when advancing in level.

Therefore, Zhou Heng attached great importance to daily accumulation.
