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

The vice president of the Qingyang Society, Lin Fenghou, remained unfazed: "This is a token of our Qingyang Society's goodwill, and we naturally hope that our young leader can form a contract with them."

Zhou Heng's words were quite unexpected: "But what if I said I didn't want to form a contract with the Storm Giant King and the Angel Flower Fairy?"

The Vice President of the Qingyang Association, Marquis Linfeng, was somewhat taken aback. He couldn't understand why Zhou Heng wasn't interested in these two high-quality beast cubs: "That's naturally the young alliance leader's prerogative, but may I ask, young alliance leader, is there something wrong with these two beast cubs?"

Zhou Heng shook his head: "There's no problem."

Lin Fenghou, the vice president of the Qingyang Society, thought of many things in an instant. He braced himself and said, "I dare to speak frankly, please don't take offense. You don't think we've done anything to them, do you? You don't need to worry at all, the Qingyang Society doesn't have that ability. Besides, you have Emperor Xuanchen behind you. Even if we had the ability to do something, we wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Emperor Xuanchen is the number one person in the current alliance, and he is about to advance to the tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer, reigning supreme over the universe! Even our ancestor wouldn't dare to offend Emperor Xuanchen easily."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng burst into laughter: "Haha! Marquis Linfeng, you're overthinking things. You've come all this way to send me so many treasures; I've already seen your sincerity, so I won't distrust you."

Lin Fenghou, the vice president of the Qingyang Society, said awkwardly, "Then you..."

Zhou Heng said seriously, "I already have five beasts. Although I have dual talents and theoretically can contract many beasts, for a beast tamer, having more contracted beasts is not necessarily a good thing. Beasts are always valued for their quality, not their quantity. I think you, as the vice president of the Qingyang Society, should understand this principle."

Lin Fenghou, the vice president of the Qingyang Association, remained utterly perplexed: "What you say makes sense, but a superior overlord-quality beast is different from an ordinary beast. Moreover, the Storm Giant King and the Angel Flower Fairy have the potential to evolve into mid-level mythical-quality beasts in the future. What harm would it do you to contract two more?"

Zhou Heng stated frankly, "My second talent is the SSS-level Spirit Source Master. Although it can produce an unlimited amount of Spirit Source Power, it still requires time to accumulate. If I contract too many beasts, I won't be able to distribute it all, which will actually slow down the progress of all the beasts. Therefore, I have made up my mind that from now on, unless I encounter a mythical-quality beast cub, I will not easily contract it, no matter how high the potential of the cub is."

Upon hearing that Zhou Heng did not intend to form a contract with the Storm Giant King and the Angel Flower Fairy, the Rainbow Winged Azure Phoenix, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon all breathed a sigh of relief.

They are currently only of mid-tier overlord quality, so naturally they don't want two more beasts of higher quality to take away Zhou Heng's favor towards them.

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng and the Titan Lords were completely unaffected by this, because they were mythical-quality beasts and could always remain calm and collected.

Seeing that Zhou Heng looked down on the two superior-level overlord-quality beast cubs his Qingyang Society had sent, Linfeng Hou, the vice president, was somewhat embarrassed, but still tried to maintain a facade of civility: "It was my rudeness. I didn't expect that our young alliance leader would have such lofty aspirations, that beast cubs below the mythical quality are simply beneath your notice. I completely understand your thinking, after all, your main beast tamer is the superior-level mythical quality Devouring Star Kunpeng, which is said to be the strongest mythical beast in the world, and its combat power can even be compared to the Chaos quality beasts. With such powerful beasts by your side, it's no wonder you look down on the Storm Giant King and the Angel Flower Fairy."

Zhou Heng said politely, "The Storm Giant King and the Angel Flower Fairy are quite good. If I had encountered these two beasts before contracting the Titan Lord, I would definitely have contracted them."

The Vice President of the Qingyang Society, Marquis Linfeng, was extremely shrewd and composed. He always kept in mind the purpose of his visit to the Canglan Plane. Upon hearing this, he immediately put on a magnanimous demeanor: "Whether you form a contract with the Storm Giant King and the Angel Flower Elf or not, these two beast cubs have already been given to you. They belong to you, and you can do with them as you please."

Zhou Heng knew what the Qingyang Society valued most, so he immediately reassured them: "Although I don't know how to form contracts with these two beasts, I will definitely make good use of them. After all, they represent my friendship with the Qingyang Society, don't they?"

The Vice President of the Qingyang Association, Marquis Linfeng, smiled and said, "It is entirely up to the young leader to decide."

Then, a young man and a young woman emerged from behind him; both were sixth-tier Beast Tamers.

Lin Fenghou, the vice president of the Qingyang Society, introduced them: "Young Alliance Leader, these are my two disciples, Geng Long and Xue Huang. They are now candidates for Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Qingyang Society. I brought them here today specifically to broaden their horizons. If they could have the opportunity to listen to your teachings, Young Alliance Leader, it would be even better."

Among the Four Religions and Three Assemblies, anyone under sixty years old who can advance to the sixth rank of Commander Beastmaster can become a candidate for Holy Son or Holy Daughter upon recommendation by a seventh rank Lord Beastmaster.

However, to become a true Holy Son or Holy Daughter, one must advance to the seventh-tier Beast Tamer of a Noble within the age of one hundred.

If they cannot do so, once they reach a certain age, the candidates for Holy Son and Holy Daughter will be directly converted into ordinary protectors.

Even if they are promoted to the seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer, they can only become a sequence protector and cannot become a holy son or holy daughter. It will be even more difficult for them to compete for the position of president or leader in the future.

Geng Long and Xue Huang immediately stepped forward from the crowd, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader!"

Zhou Heng glanced at the two disciples of the Qingyang Society's vice president, his interest waning, and asked politely, "Your two disciples are truly outstanding. What are their talents?"

Lin Fenghou, the vice president of the Qingyang Society, replied, "It's just an S-level talent."

Zhou Heng casually replied politely, "It's not bad."

The vice president of the Qingyang Society, Linfeng Hou, showed a hint of dejection on his face: "It's barely acceptable! After all, I myself only have S-level talent, and it will be difficult for me to advance to the eighth-level Monarch Beast Tamer in this lifetime. I am not qualified to take SS-level talent geniuses as my disciples. These two disciples are already the best choice I can make."

Zhou Heng could only console him, "Even with S-rank talent, there's still a possibility of advancing to the eighth-tier Monarch Beastmaster."

The Vice President of the Qingyang Society, Marquis Linfeng, knew his own situation well: "It's too difficult, unless you can cultivate a mythical-quality beast. Although my main beast is already of superior overlord quality, seemingly only one step away from mythical quality, in reality, there's an unfathomable chasm separating us from mythical-quality beasts. This is because the difficulty for an overlord beast to evolve into mythical quality is simply too great; I have no hope of ever achieving it in this lifetime."

If one possesses SS-level talent, one can advance to the eighth-tier Monarch Beastmaster level by relying on the Beastmaster's Beastmaster skills of a high-ranking overlord.

However, S-level talents are not enough; only those with mythical-quality beast tamers can advance to the eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamer.
