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

Xu Weiran stood on the podium, nagging and earnestly instructing the students of the Rocket Class below: "Don't train your beast tamers for the next two days. Let them rest and recharge. Don't feed them anything random, lest it affect their condition... And also..."

dong dong!

Suddenly, there were two knocks on the door.

Xu Weiran waved his hand casually, and the door opened, revealing a handsome and smiling face to everyone.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Xu Weiran's face showed a respectful expression: "Young Alliance Leader! Greetings, Young Alliance Leader! Why have you returned?"

Zhou Heng smiled gently: "Teacher Xu, I am a student from No. 3 Middle School. I am about to take the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, so of course I have to come back to see everyone."

Xu Weiran was somewhat at a loss: "Young Alliance Leader, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform the principal and the others right away!"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Go ahead!"

Xu Weiran bowed and quickly retreated.

Only a group of senior high school students from the top-performing class remained in the classroom.

Although Li Lang was pleasantly surprised, he wasn't. He walked up to him familiarly and said, "You haven't been back for a long time. Our No. 3 Middle School has changed a lot now."

Zhou Heng nodded: "It's good that I came back to take a look."

The rest of the people had not seen Zhou Heng for a long time, and given the growing gap in their status, although their hearts were surging with emotion, they were all hesitant to speak.

Only Ji Chao followed closely behind Li Lang, kneeling directly at Zhou Heng's feet in front of everyone: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Although Gao Wenwu, He Hongmei, Chen Hui, Li Shiliang, Zhang Yunfeng, Pei Ge, Nangong Cuiyi, Zou Lei, and Yan Shouzhen already knew that Ji Chao had recognized Zhou Heng as his master, witnessing this scene in person still shocked them greatly.

Even though Ji Chao only has a B-level talent, his family background is the best besides Li Lang and Zhang Yunfeng. Yet, in front of Zhou Heng, he can only act like a dog, and even then, he acts as if he is extremely honored.

They did not look down on Ji Chao because of this, but their feelings were complicated, and many of them even secretly envied Ji Chao.

At the same time, Ji Chao's actions also served as a reminder to them that Zhou Heng's status was now even more prestigious than before, and they had to adopt a much lower posture in front of him.

Zhou Heng casually said, "Before the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, you're still a student. Let's skip this formality in front of everyone!"

"Yes, sir." Ji Chao then casually got up from the ground and stood next to Li Lang, looking meek and submissive.

Gao Wenwu, besides Li Lang, was the student in the Rocket Class who had the best relationship with Zhou Heng. He stepped forward first, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader!"

Zhou Heng reached out and helped Gao Wenwu up: "Xiao Gao, there's no need for us to be so polite."

Gao Wenwu was wearing a light blue shirt today. Compared to three years ago, he had lost some of his cowardice and gained more composure: "Thank you for your kindness, Young Alliance Leader, but the principal taught us that you represent the dignity of the alliance, and we dare not overstep our bounds."

Zhou Heng nodded, not insisting that Gao Wenwu continue to call him "Brother Heng" as before.

He Hongmei stepped forward, a graceful smile on her round face: "Young Alliance Leader, it's been so long since you've returned. We've missed you terribly."

Zhou Heng said politely, "I miss my classmates very much too."

He looked He Hongmei up and down. Although He Hongmei was a little fatter than when she was in the first year of high school, she had become particularly fair-skinned. She was much more confident in her every move, and her smile was much brighter. Today, she was wearing a bright red dress, which made her look very auspicious.

He Hongmei is, after all, an A-level talent. Although it may not be considered anything special by aristocratic families, it is already a very good talent on Xuanxiao Star.

As a child prodigy, she received preferential treatment in the advanced class for three years, so it's normal for her temperament to change.

Then Chen Hui, Li Shiliang, and others stepped forward to greet Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng naturally exchanged a few pleasantries with them and took the opportunity to observe them.

The shrewdness in Chen Hui's eyes was almost overflowing.

Li Shiliang became increasingly taciturn.

A gloomy aura lingered in Zhang Yunfeng's eyes, probably because he only had a C-level talent. Even with parents who were both fifth-tier warrior beast tamers and a contract with a low-level diamond-quality Blackwater Serpent, he still felt immense pressure due to the upcoming beast taming college entrance examination.

Pei Ge still had his blond hair, and he had become even more talkative.

Nangong Cuiyi still had that carefree and easygoing demeanor.

Zou Lei's muscles are bulging, making his physique appear even more robust.

Yan Shouzhen went from being a cute chubby boy to a thin young man.

Observing the changes in everyone, Zhou Heng remained calm and approachable, always maintaining a friendly and amiable demeanor.

But the more he acted this way, the more people revered him.

Because Zhou Heng had reached a position where he no longer needed to rely on threatening gestures and harsh words to establish his authority.

Zhou Heng then returned to his former seat: "Judging from everyone's aura, you should all have at least advanced to the third-tier elite beast tamer level, right?"

Li Lang grinned: "Of course, those who enter the rocket class, even if they are just auditors, are all capable of steadily advancing to the third-tier elite beast tamer before the beast taming college entrance examination. Otherwise, the principal would never have allowed them to enter the rocket class."

Zhou Heng directly shared the powerful skill "Insightful Observation" of the Titan Lord, and with a glance, he scanned everyone and instantly the beast-taming level of everyone appeared in his mind.

He praised Li Lang, saying, "Lang, you're quite good. Xiao Bing was able to advance to the seventh level of the third rank before the college entrance examination. With your talent and the protection of holy light, it shouldn't be difficult for you to enter the top two thousand in the college entrance examination."

Li Lang was somewhat surprised: "How did you know I'd advanced to the seventh level of the third tier? I wanted to give you a surprise!"

Zhou Heng revealed an expression of complete control, listing everything as if it were his own treasure: "I not only know your level, but I also know everyone else's. Xiao Gao's Xuanhun Shalang has advanced to the fifth level of the third tier; He Hongmei's Savage Stone Ox has advanced to the second level of the third tier; Chen Hui's Azure Demon Tiger has advanced to the third level of the third tier; Ji Chao's Crystal Giant Elephant has advanced to the third level of the third tier; Li Shiliang's Sword Shadow Mantis has also advanced to the third level of the third tier; Zhang Yunfeng's Black Water Xuan Snake has advanced to the first level of the third tier; and Pei Ge, Nangong Cuiyi, Zou Lei, and Yan Shouzhen have also advanced to the second level of the third tier. How about that? Am I right?"

With his A-level talent and contract with the low-grade diamond-quality Frost Bear King, Li Lang's advancement to the third tier, seventh level before the college entrance examination, thanks to Zhou Heng's abundant resources, is considered normal.

Gao Wenwu also possesses an A-level talent, specifically a support-type growth talent. His beast-taming growth rate is faster than that of ordinary A-level talents. Although he only contracts with a low-grade gold-quality Xuanhun Shalang, he has received investment from the Xuanxiao City Guard and works exceptionally hard. He was able to reach the fifth level of the third tier before the college entrance examination, proving that where there's a will, there's a way.

He Hongmei's contract was only with a high-level silver-quality Savage Stone Ox. Her parents were ordinary people and couldn't give her many resources. But an A-level talent is still an A-level talent, even the most useless A-level talent. That's why she was able to reach the second level of the third tier before the college entrance examination.

Chen Hui contracted with a lower-grade gold-quality Azure Demon Tiger. As an A-level talent, reaching the third level of the third tier before the college entrance examination was considered average.

Ji Chao and Li Shiliang both have B-level talents, and their talents are comparable. They both come from good families and have contracted high-level gold-quality beasts. It is normal for them to reach the third tier, third level.

Zhang Yunfeng has good parents, a contract with a low-level diamond beast, and a large supply of resources. Unfortunately, he has a C-level talent and can only barely advance to the third tier, first level.

The remaining four—Pei Ge, Nangong Cuiyi, Zou Lei, and Yan Shouzhen—all possessed B-level talent, had contracted mid-level gold-quality beasts, and had relatively abundant resources. It was no surprise that they were able to advance to the second level of the third tier before the college entrance examination.
