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

The Feng family of Jianmu, the Zhao family of Lingzhu, and the Xie family of Feipeng are all large aristocratic families, belonging to the twelve large aristocratic families of Dongxie along with the Zhou family of Shenlong.

Zhou Heng had met all the eighth-tier Monarch Beastmasters from the Alliance and the Beastmaster Guild when he first announced his second talent, so he naturally knew these three people.

The fact that these three people came in person after the college entrance examination makes their purpose self-evident.

Zhou Heng's eyes flickered: "One of them is the president of Yaori University, and the other two are vice presidents. They came together, could it be to invite me to apply to Yaori University?"

Tenth Uncle nodded: "My master and I have discussed this, and they do indeed have this idea."

Zhou Heng said bluntly, "Uncle Shi, I will not apply to Yao Ri University."

Tenth Uncle explained, "They naturally know this, but they're probably just hoping to take a chance. That's why the Ancestor sent me to ask you if you want to see them?"

Zhou Heng thought for a moment, "They are, after all, three eighth-tier King-level Beast Tamers. It wouldn't hurt to meet them. Tenth Uncle, please go and invite them over!"

Tenth Uncle turned and left: "Alright."

Soon, Zhou Heng's tenth uncle arrived on Ruilin Island with three elders: two men and one woman.

The three eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamers said in unison, "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng nodded in return, "You three don't need to be so polite."

After some pleasantries, Zhou Heng invited the three eighth-tier monarch beast tamers into the purple seashell palace, where they sat down as host and guests, with his tenth uncle accompanying them.

Zhou Heng's five tamed beasts also shrunk in size and surrounded him.

The Wuxiang King of the Jianmu Feng family has a square face and looks to be close to sixty years old. He has long, dark green hair and wears a green outfit.

He held the highest position among the three eighth-tier monarch-level beast tamers, so he spoke first: "Congratulations to our young leader for winning the top prize! In this beast taming examination, our young leader has stood out from the crowd and set a new record by cultivating his main beast to an unprecedented fifth-tier, third-level. This has truly broadened our horizons."

Zhou Heng placed his hand on the head of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng in its divine Kun form and rubbed it: "Eighth Elder, you're too kind. Speaking of which, doesn't the Eighth Elder also have a top scholar disciple?"

Ten years ago, Du Si'an, a beast tamer who awakened his SS-level talent, happened to become a disciple of the Wuxiang King of the Jianmu Feng family. Zhou Heng had previously had a pleasant conversation with him.

The King of Jianmu Feng, gazing at the five beasts beside Zhou Heng, especially the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, which, though miniature, possessed astonishing power, beamed with smiles: "Although Si'an was also the top scholar in the Eastern Alliance that year, he can't compare to the Little Alliance Leader. He only cultivated his beasts to the fourth level, fourth stage, during his college entrance exams. Compared to the Little Alliance Leader, he's far inferior. After Si'an returned from the Canglan Plane last time, he specifically mentioned the Little Alliance Leader, praising him highly, saying that the Little Alliance Leader possesses extraordinary talent and is a once-in-a-millennium genius. Now I realize that he was too conservative. The Little Alliance Leader is not only a once-in-a-millennium genius, but probably a once-in-a-millennium, even once-in-ten-million-years genius! With the Little Alliance Leader, the Alliance will likely be even more prosperous and flourishing than the era of the Worry-Free Supreme!"

Zhou Heng smiled and waved his hand: "Eighth Elder is really good at flattering me. I dare not compare myself to the Supreme Worry-Free."

Although the Fairy King of the Zhao family of the Spirit Spider looked like she was nearing seventy, with wrinkles all over her face, she had her white hair neatly combed and a pink peach blossom pinned to her temple. She wore a dark purple, simple long dress, which made her look both dignified and lively.

Her eyes were extremely bright, sparkling like stars: "Before the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, we heard that the Little Alliance Leader had broken the record set by the Supreme Lord of the Sea. But we never expected that the Little Alliance Leader would directly cultivate the Star Devouring Kunpeng to the fifth rank, third level. During the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, we personally witnessed the Little Alliance Leader summoning the Star Devouring Kunpeng, which truly shocked all of us eighth-rank Monarch Beast Tamers from Tiandu and Shendu."

Although the Fairy King of the Spirit Spider Zhao family was the master of Zhou Heng's tenth uncle, Zhou Heng was the most beloved little disciple of Emperor Xuan Chen. Therefore, she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhou Heng and was very polite in her words.

Zhou Heng stroked the cold scales of the Silver Dragon covered in sea on his wrist: "It was just a coincidence. It was mainly thanks to my master's guidance."

When the Spirit Spider Zhao family's Colorful King spoke of Emperor Xuan Chen, his eyes were filled with awe, while he didn't forget to flatter Zhou Heng: "The old alliance leader is about to be promoted to the tenth-level supreme beast tamer. As the old alliance leader's esteemed disciple, the young alliance leader is naturally not far behind. But being able to cultivate the Star Devouring Kunpeng to the fifth level, third stage, is probably due to the young alliance leader's particularly special second talent."

Zhou Heng suddenly asked, "I heard that the Twelfth Elder also awakened a second talent back then?"

The Colorful King of the Zhao family, the Spirit Spider, sighed, "My luck is far worse than that of the young alliance leader."

Zhou Heng was puzzled: "Why do you say such a thing, Twelfth Elder?"

The Colorful King of the Spirit Spider Zhao family revealed a complex expression: "Although both I and the young leader are awakeners of the second talent, the young leader's first talent is a rather good S-rank, and his second talent is an unparalleled SSS-rank. My first talent is the worst F-rank, and my second talent is only SS-rank, far from being comparable to the young leader."

Zhou Heng casually remarked, "SS-level talent is already incredibly impressive. Currently, the entire Eastern Alliance, including the four sects and three associations, only has about thirty eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamers, most of whom achieved their status through SS-level talent. If Elder Twelve doesn't awaken his second SS-level talent, his chances of advancing to eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamer are practically nonexistent. It's clear that while Heaven may have seemingly closed a window for Elder Twelve, it has actually opened a wide door."

Upon hearing this, the Colorful King of the Zhao family of the Spirit Spider immediately revealed a bright smile: "What the young alliance leader says makes sense. Heaven has indeed been kind to me. Moreover, having a slightly inferior first talent may not be without its advantages, at least I can experience the coldness and warmth of human relationships at a very young age."

Some second talents awaken a little later than the first talent, so situations like the Colorful King's are indeed quite dramatic.

The first talent is the worst F-rank talent, and it must have suffered a lot of cold looks. After enduring it for a period of time, it suddenly awakens a very powerful SS-rank talent, and it will definitely see many faces that were arrogant at first but obsequious later.

Zhou Heng understood immediately: "It seems that the Twelfth Elder is a man with a story."

The Yin-Yang King of the Feipeng Xie family, who had remained silent until now, suddenly remarked, "Those who can advance to the eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamer have all lived for hundreds of years; who doesn't have a story to tell?"

He wore a long robe that was half black and half white, and his black hair was interspersed with strands of white hair. He looked to be over fifty years old and was the youngest of the three. His eyebrows were one black and one white.

Zhou Heng's eyes were deep and clear: "The Vice President is right. The three of you are older and more experienced than me. This is a valuable asset to you."

The Yin-Yang King of the Feipeng Xie family quickly put on a embarrassed look: "Young Alliance Leader, you flatter us. Although we are older than you, your talent surpasses ours. You are far superior to us from the start. No matter how long we live, we can never match your limitless potential."
