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

Ancestor Wanbao asked somewhat anxiously, "Heng'er, where did you get this mythical beast?"

Zhou Heng explained, "I forgot to tell the Ancestor before. The last time I showed the blue diamond to the Ancestor, he only saw that it contained hidden vitality. Later, I showed it to my Master. It turns out that a mythical-quality beast cub was sealed inside the blue diamond. Today, it just happened to break free of the seal, so I took the opportunity to form a contract with it."

Ancestor Wanbao marveled, "A diamond you casually picked up on the road actually contains a mythical-quality beast cub—what an incredible stroke of luck!"

Zhou Heng's lips curled up: "That's what Master said too."

The old ancestor Linglong looked the Titan Lord up and down and came to a precise conclusion: "This beast is no ordinary creature; it is a male Titan Lord."

Zhou Heng was overjoyed: "Even the Exquisite Ancestor recognizes the God Emperor?"

Linglong Ancestor revealed a smug smile: "As a legendary beast tamer, the Titan Lord is someone I've lived for hundreds of years, so of course I recognize him. However, such beasts disappeared for a long time, leading many to believe they didn't actually exist. I never expected them to reappear in the world now, and that you would even form a contract with them."

Zhou Heng showed no arrogance, but remained calm and composed: "It was all just a series of coincidences and twists of fate."

Ancestor Wanbao sighed from the side, "We were thinking that the Star-Devouring Kunpeng was powerful in attack but lacked defense, so we planned to find you a mythical beast with strong defense. We didn't expect that you had already obtained a mythical beast."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "I appreciate the kindness of the two ancestors, but mythical-quality beast cubs are extremely rare. Searching for them is like finding a needle in a haystack. I already have Wuji and Emperor God, which is more than enough. The two ancestors don't need to waste their energy on me."

For a beast cub to be born with mythical quality, its parents must also be of mythical quality.

However, the offspring of mythical-quality beasts and extraordinary creatures are not necessarily mythical-quality; most are below mythical quality.

For example, the Silver Dragon of the Overturned Sea, whose father was the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon of mid-level mythical quality, was born as only a mid-level overlord.

Many of its siblings are not even as good as it, and are of lower quality.

Therefore, mythical quality beast cubs are extremely rare.

One problem is that they are not easy to find, and another is that even if they are found, they must be able to defeat the parents of the cubs, otherwise it is all just talk.

Linglong Ancestor sighed softly: "We are only eighth-level King-level Beast Tamers, and our strength is ultimately lacking. Otherwise, we would have already found a mythical-quality beast cub for you."

Zhou Heng quickly reassured them, "You two are joking. You are the pillars of the Zhou family of the Divine Dragon and the Li family of the Golden Crow. With you here, the Zhou family of the Divine Dragon and the Li family of the Golden Crow can maintain their prosperity. Moreover, you both have SS-level talent. The eighth-level Monarch Beast Tamer is not the end for you. In the future, you may even be able to advance to the ninth-level Emperor Beast Tamer."

Ancestor Wanbao smiled and shook his head: "As I said before, for a peerless genius like you with SSS-level talent, becoming a ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer is simply a matter of growing step by step. When the time comes, you will naturally advance. But for beast tamers with SS-level talent like us, there is a huge hurdle between becoming an eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamer and a ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer."

Zhou Heng immediately promised, "Rest assured, both of you, once I have grown up, I will definitely help you reach even greater heights."

Ancestor Wanbao's face lit up with joy: "Good child! We are already very happy that you have this intention."

The old ancestor Linglong was equally gratified: "Yes! To be able to witness the emergence of an unparalleled genius with SSS-level talent among our direct descendants, even if we two old men were to die immediately, we could die in peace."

Zhou Heng uttered auspicious words: "The two ancestors are blessed with great fortune and will surely live for thousands of years."

Linglong Ancestor smiled and waved her hand: "What do you mean by 'living a thousand years' or 'ten thousand years'? Throughout history, even the three supreme beings among humankind have not lived to be ten thousand years old."

Ancestor Wanbao couldn't help but sigh, "Sometimes, I'm quite envious of those extraordinary beings."

Zhou Heng asked, puzzled, "Why does the Ancestor envy them?"

Ancestor Wanbao said with a deep gaze, "Although extraordinary beings are restricted by the laws of the universe and can never advance to the tenth rank on their own, the laws of the universe compensate them for this deficiency, allowing them to have long lifespans."

Zhou Heng said solemnly, "Humans are the creatures most favored by the laws of the universe."

Ancestor Wanbao has lived for four hundred years, so he is quite sensitive about the matter of lifespan: "Although humans are favored by the laws of the universe, their lifespan is too short. Under the restrictions of the laws of the universe, it is difficult to extend their lifespan through external means. Even an eighth-level king-level beast tamer like myself can only live for six hundred years."

Linglong Ancestor, on the other hand, seemed quite carefree: "There's nothing to complain about. This is just the result of the universe's laws maintaining the balance of all things. We humans have short lifespans, but we also grow quickly. If we humans could easily obtain long lifespans like extraordinary beings, the universe would probably be in chaos long ago."

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and said to the two of them, "What the two ancestors said makes sense, but I believe that anything is possible with human effort. Perhaps there will be a way to extend the lifespan of us human beast tamers in the future."

Ancestor Wanbao understood Zhou Heng's thoughts: "When you reach the pinnacle of the universe in the future, you can spend time studying it, but there's no need to waste your time on this now."

Zhou Heng nodded: "I understand what the Ancestor means."

Ancestor Wanbao then asked, "Heng'er, are you aware of the late-stage evolution ritual of the Titan Lords?"

Zhou Heng shook his head: "I don't know. Do the two elders have any clues?"

The Elder Linglong revealed the information he knew: "I remember that Titan Grand Lords can evolve into Titan Saint Kings, but the detailed rituals for how Titan Grand Lords evolve into Titan Saint Kings have been lost throughout the entire Eastern Union."

Zhou Heng didn't care: "It doesn't matter if it's lost. My second talent can directly improve the bloodline quality of beast tamers. Even without a specific evolutionary path, it doesn't affect anything."

The Elder Linglong praised Zhou Heng highly: "That's true. Although your second talent doesn't directly enhance your beast taming abilities in combat, its ability to assist in improving the strength of your beast tamers is unparalleled throughout history!"

Ancestor Wanbao smiled broadly as well: "That's right! The potential of the Lord of Spiritual Origin is too high, it's incomparable to ordinary SSS-level talents."

Zhou Heng said loudly, "Thank you for your praise, both of you ancestors. Since Heaven has bestowed upon me this unique and unparalleled talent, I will certainly make good use of it."
