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

Zhou Heng said gently to his parents, "Dad, Mom, you're already very capable. If it weren't for the accident that caused your initial beasts to perish, your levels would definitely be higher than they are now."

Zhou's father and mother exchanged a glance, their tone tinged with relief: "We are ultimately only A-level talents. Even if our initial beast taming hadn't perished unexpectedly, we wouldn't be much stronger than we are now. In short, we can't compare to you."

Zhou Heng encouraged the two of them and promised them, "Dad, Mom, although you only have A-level talent, don't give up on training your beast tamers. I will definitely find a way to help you improve the quality of your beast tamers in the future. That way, even if your talent is a little lacking, your future achievements won't be too low."

Zhou's father put his arm around Zhou Heng's shoulder and laughed loudly, "Good son, we are already very happy that you have this intention. What you need to do now is focus on improving your strength."

With her beautiful features, Zhou's mother gently advised, "That's right, our strength improvement isn't particularly important, since our limits are what they are. Your strength improvement is the most important thing, because you have unlimited potential for the future."

Zhou Heng nodded: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I understand what's important and what's urgent."

Ancestor Wanbao instructed Patriarch Zhou, "Chenkai, Heng'er has cultivated the Star-Devouring Kunpeng to the fifth rank, third level just before the college entrance examination. This is a very joyous occasion! Immediately issue the order: all direct descendants in the Canglan Plane will receive a three-year monthly salary, all collateral descendants will receive a two-year monthly salary, and all other non-clan vassals will receive a one-year monthly salary. All corporations and shops in the Guyu Region will be exempt from taxes for one year. I want the whole world to celebrate and for everyone to be happy for our Heng'er!"

"Yes, sir!" Old Master Zhou accepted the order and left.

The Elder Linglong also instructed Patriarch Li, "Zhaowen, our Li family should follow Wanbao's instructions as well!"

"Yes!" Old Master Li accepted the order and left.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Thank you both, venerable ancestors."

In the eyes of Ancestor Wanbao, Zhou Heng was both intelligent and sensible, practically the perfect heir to the family: "No need to thank us, this is what you deserve. You have been too low-key in the past. This time you are going to participate in the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination and you will have to show your face in front of everyone. You can't keep a low profile anymore."

Zhou Heng spoke frankly: "The old ancestor misunderstood me. Actually, I didn't deliberately try to keep a low profile. On the contrary, I quite like the feeling of being worshipped by the masses."

Linglong Ancestor spoke with fervor, as if she could see Zhou Heng reaching the pinnacle: "Heng'er, with such great talent, you are destined to go down in history and become a great figure who influences the course of the universe. Being worshipped by all is the most basic thing; everyone should bow down and submit to you."

The eldest uncle chimed in, "That's right, our Heng'er deserves the best!"

My second uncle also agreed, "That's right!"

Afterwards, everyone praised Zhou Heng again, and a banquet was held on Ruilin Island to celebrate Zhou Heng's achievement of cultivating his Beast Taming to the third level of the fifth rank before the college entrance examination. He not only broke the record set by the Supreme of the Sea, but also set a new record.

As the banquet drew to a close, Zhou's father asked, "My dear son, what are your plans for this year's Beast Taming Examination?"

Every year, the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination has a corresponding procedure. For example, when Zhou Heng was in his first year of high school, his father was not yet the Alliance Special Envoy, but only the Deputy Director of Education of Xuanxiao Star Education Bureau. He was particularly busy when the college entrance examination was approaching.

But Zhou Heng is different; his identity is special, so he doesn't need to follow the original procedures.

Zhou Heng put down his wine glass: "I've already discussed it with my master, and I'll have my fourth senior brother take me to the Golden List Space."

The Golden List Space is a special space opened up by the Primordial Ancient Tree. It is very large inside and has been used as the examination hall for the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination for thousands of years.

Mr. Zhou immediately said, "Even so, we have to go with you, otherwise we won't feel at ease."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "What is Dad worried about? Besides Fourth Senior Brother, the two Ancestors are also among the people in charge of this year's Beast Taming College Entrance Examination."

Zhou's mother spoke slowly and deliberately, radiating a gentle light: "It's not that we're worried, it's just that you only have one chance to take the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination in your life. As your family, we naturally have to accompany you. All the other candidates are the same; their families accompany them throughout the entire process."

Ancestor Wanbao added, "Moreover, it's not just us who will be with you all the time. When this year's Beast Taming College Entrance Examination officially begins, almost all the eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamers and even the ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamers from the Alliance and the Beast Tamer Guild will be present."

Zhou Heng was somewhat surprised: "Is the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination really that important in the eyes of the Alliance? Or is my year's Beast Taming College Entrance Examination special?"

Linglong Ancestor spoke frankly: "While the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination is important, it's not this important. The key is that this year is your home turf. You have an SSS-level talent, which only appears once every few hundred years on average. You are also the personal disciple of the former Alliance Leader, making your status extraordinary. In addition, you broke the record set by the Supreme Lord Dinghai. After several months of fermentation, almost everyone in the entire Eastern Alliance with any connections knows about it. Therefore, your participation in this Beast Taming College Entrance Examination will definitely attract everyone's attention."

Zhou Heng nodded: "I understand."

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a few more minutes about Zhou Heng's participation in the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination this year before leaving together.

The next day, June 1st, arrived, with only five days left until the official Beast Taming College Entrance Examination.

These past few days, Zhou Heng has stopped training the five beast tamers and instead gave them a break so they could relax and play freely.

Another day passed, and on June 2nd, Zhou Hengjing was filled with restless thoughts, thinking of his classmates and friends on Xuanxiao Star.

He immediately shared the skills of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, and instantly appeared on Xuanxiao Star with five shrunken beasts and two junior disciples.

……

Third Middle School.

Today is Monday. In the class of the senior year's elite class, the theory teacher, Xu Weiran, did not teach the class. Instead, he chatted casually with everyone and gave them some tips for the college entrance examination.

Since the college entrance examination is just around the corner, there's no point in giving lectures anymore.

On the contrary, maintaining a relaxed atmosphere can at least prevent students from being under too much pressure, so as to avoid underperforming and not ranking well in the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination.

This is the experience accumulated by the teachers of No. 3 Middle School over many years.

You can be stricter in normal times, but when it comes to the most crucial exams, you should help students maintain a relaxed mindset.

Because even among the auditors in the Rocket Class, not to mention the formal students, none of them had a beast taming level lower than the third rank by the time of the college entrance examination. Every student was a third-rank elite beast tamer, and all of them were qualified to attend a beast taming university.

These students are typical examples of those who don't need much discipline; they don't need to be managed too strictly. On the contrary, they should be managed more leniently and encouraged and praised more.
