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

Zhou Heng said to Tianyin Hou, "Beastmasters and beast tamers are one. I only hope that these little guys will get better and better under my care."

Marquis Tianyin glanced at the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, which was 420,000 meters long and covered the entire sky, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Junior Uncle has a pure heart, which is truly admirable! No wonder the beasts he contracts with grow up so quickly."

Zhou Heng smiled and shook his head: "What innocent heart? My junior brother is really flattering me. I'm not as good as you all say."

Qianrenhou kept praising Zhou Heng: "Junior Uncle is too modest. Your five beasts are all so outstanding compared to other beasts of the same quality, thanks to your dedicated training. It is true that you get the beasts you deserve just like your master."

Marquis Tianyin flattered Zhou Heng even more fervently, praising him highly in his words: "High school only lasts three years. Generally, an SSS-level talent can only cultivate Beast Taming to the fourth tier, tenth level. Because the leap from the fourth tier, tenth level to the fifth tier, first level is a major breakthrough, considered a minor hurdle. Even with ordinary SSS-level talent, paired with a mythical Beast Taming technique, it takes one or two semesters to hone it. Reaching the fifth tier, first level is already the limit for a very few, like Ancestor Dinghai and Grandmaster back then; it's difficult to achieve further improvement. Junior Uncle's previous breakthrough of Ancestor Dinghai's record was already extremely rare. Now, he has even cultivated the Star-Devouring Kunpeng to the fifth tier, third level. Junior Uncle is simply a genius! Future generations who want to break Junior Uncle's record today will have to cultivate Beast Taming to the fifth tier, fourth level. I'm afraid no one will be able to break this record for the next 100,000 years."

Zhou Heng waved his hand calmly: "That's not necessarily true. I contracted Wuji relatively late, and I also distributed the spiritual power to several beasts. If a peerless genius of SSS level with a similar second talent as me emerges in the future, and contracts a mythical quality beast in the first year of high school, and focuses on cultivating a single beast, he might really break my record."

Marquis Tianyin analyzed the situation and dismissed it: "Even if someone has a similar talent to Junior Uncle in the future, and can directly contract a mythical-quality beast in their first year of high school, it's highly unlikely they'll be able to directly contract a high-level mythical-quality beast. That's because the only high-level mythical-quality beast cub at the Primordial Ancient Tree is the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, which Junior Uncle has already contracted. As for focusing all your efforts on one beast, there's no need to worry. Junior Uncle's second talent, Lord of Spiritual Origin, is extremely powerful even among SSS-level beasts. Even if someone later has a similar support-type talent, they might not be able to match Junior Uncle's Lord of Spiritual Origin."

Qianrenhou chimed in, "Just as my brother said, Junior Uncle's record should stand for a very long time."

Zhou Heng's vision extended further: "What my two junior disciples say makes sense, but Master once told me that records are meant to be broken. After all, times are progressing, and humanity will develop better and better. Future beast tamers will definitely be stronger than we are now."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Tianyin's smile deepened: "Junior Uncle has such a broad perspective at such a young age; he is truly of noble character."

Qianrenhou said loudly, "We admire Junior Uncle's profound understanding of righteousness."

Just then, Ancestor Wanbao and Ancestor Linglong suddenly descended from the sky with a large group of Zhou Heng's relatives.

They were clearly alerted by the commotion caused by the breakthrough of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng.

Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren quickly bowed to the two elders, saying, "Greetings, seniors."

Because Zhou Heng is about to take the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, Ancestor Linglong has been staying in the Canglan Plane these days and has not returned. Even several of Zhou Heng's uncles have come to the Canglan Plane.

As everyone gazed at the colossal, sky-covering, 420,000-meter-tall Star-Devouring Kunpeng in its divine Kun form, radiating dazzling golden light, their eyes were filled with excitement, astonishment, and joy.

Ancestor Wanbao stared intently at the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, his eyes gleaming: "Back in February, Heng'er had already cultivated the Star-Devouring Kunpeng to the second level of the fifth rank. Now, it's only May, and Heng'er has actually cultivated the Star-Devouring Kunpeng to the third level of the fifth rank. Such speed is truly astonishing. It seems that we have underestimated Heng'er's second talent in the past."

The old ancestor Linglong looked at Zhou Heng as if she had seen a rare treasure, and said with emotion, "Our Heng'er's second talent, the Lord of Spiritual Source, is probably the most outstanding among all the supreme geniuses of the SSS level throughout history."

Ancestor Wanbao nodded repeatedly: "Besides this explanation, I can't think of any other reason."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, both of you venerable ancestors."

The old patriarch Li stepped forward, grasped Zhou Heng's hand, and said to Zhou Heng, "Heng'er, you are amazing. You are the pride of our Zhou and Li families."

Zhou Heng said solemnly, "I used to be proud of my family, and I believe that one day my family will be proud of me."

The old patriarch of the Zhou family also stepped forward and patted Zhou Heng's arm: "The moment you awakened your SSS-level second talent, the family was already proud of you."

Tenth Uncle said from the side, "Although our Zhou family is still a large family, everyone knows that because of you, our Zhou family will be able to return to the ranks of the top families sooner or later."

Zhou Heng's eyes were clear yet resolute: "I will make this day come as soon as possible."

Fourth Uncle smiled broadly: "Our Heng'er is so talented, has such a good personality, and is so sensible. He is a gift from heaven to our Zhou and Li families. I don't know what good deeds our ancestors did to be able to have Heng'er reincarnated into our family."

Zhou Heng subconsciously said modestly, "Fourth Uncle, what you're saying is getting more and more exaggerated. Actually, I still have many imperfections."

Uncle Shi couldn't help but sigh, "No one is perfect, but Heng'er, you don't need to be modest. I am also a chosen one of heaven, and I have seen many other chosen ones, but you are the most special one among all the chosen ones I have ever seen. No one can match your talent, but you are not arrogant because of it. On the contrary, you maintain a calm mind and treat people with a gentle and pleasant demeanor. To be able to do this, you are already better than countless others."

Zhou Heng joked, "Uncle Shi is indeed worthy of being a university teacher; he knows how to praise people. He made me blush."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Zhou's father came to Zhou Heng's side, his eyes filled with great satisfaction: "My good son, watching you grow up so quickly and become stronger and stronger makes your mother and I truly happy for you."

With a gentle smile on her face, Zhou's mother patted Zhou Heng's shoulder: "My dear son, you're amazing! Your father and I are only at the fifth rank, second level when we take on our main beasts, but your Star-Devouring Kunpeng has already reached the fifth rank, third level. Now, not only is your strength far superior to ours, but your beast-taming level on the surface has also surpassed ours. You truly have surpassed your teachers, and we are all so happy for you."
