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

Zhou Heng's expression turned solemn: "It all depends on human effort. Until the very last moment, who knows who will emerge victorious?"

The Vice President of the Qingyang Society, Marquis Linfeng, looked at Zhou Heng as if gazing at a mountain he could never climb in his lifetime: "Young Alliance Leader, please don't comfort this old man. I know my own situation. Not everyone possesses unparalleled talent like you, Young Alliance Leader, who can directly contract mythical-quality beasts and, in the future, even cultivate mythical-quality beasts to chaotic quality through his own talent. Young Alliance Leader, you are truly blessed and enviable."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng said gently, "As the vice president of the Qingyang Society, apart from the six ninth-level Emperor Beast Tamers and more than thirty eighth-level Monarch Beast Tamers, almost no one is stronger than you. You should be content."

The Vice President of the Qingyang Society, Marquis Linfeng, chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Limited by my talent, this old man has no choice but to be content!"

Zhou Heng then said, "It's rare for people from your Qingyang Society to come to our Canglan Plane. Don't leave today. Let me host a banquet on Ruilin Island to welcome you back."

Lin Fenghou, the vice president of the Qingyang Society, quickly declined: "Thank you for your kindness, Young Alliance Leader! The Shenlong Zhou family has had many dealings with our Qingyang Society, so they naturally understand that we Qingyang Society members are not treacherous or evil people. However, most people do not know this and regard us as tigers, leopards, wolves, and jackals. Although the Canglan Plane is the Shenlong Zhou family's private territory, it is ultimately not appropriate to stay there for too long."

Zhou Heng did not insist: "In that case, please do as you wish."

Lin Fenghou, the vice president of the Qingyang Society, bowed again: "Today, I personally delivered six Yitian Crystal Jade, ten eighth-tier treasures, and two superior overlord-quality beast cubs to the young alliance leader, demonstrating the sincerity of the Qingyang Society. My mission is now complete. Please take care, young alliance leader. I take my leave."

Liu Yao and the others also bowed in return.

Zhou Heng immediately instructed Feng Zhong and Feng Yong to escort Lin Fenghou, the vice president of the Qingyang Society, and Liu Yao and others out.

After Marquis Linfeng left, Li Lang couldn't help but sigh, "Marquis Linfeng, as the vice president of the Qingyang Society, such a powerful figure, doesn't even have a single mythical-quality beast?"

Marquis Tianyin's face showed a helpless expression: "Li Lang, you really know how to joke. Mythical quality beasts aren't common. Don't think that mythical quality beasts are common just because your junior uncle has already contracted two at such a young age. In reality, even overlord beasts are not something ordinary beast tamers can possess."

Li Lang looked enlightened: "Now that you mention it, Senior Tianyin, it's true. I've only gained a higher perspective by being around Aheng. Actually, when I think about it carefully, Xuanxiao Star, as one of the thirty-six first-level planets in the Eastern Alliance, only has one overlord beast tamer on the surface: one garrison commander, two deputy garrison commanders, and one branch president of the Beast Tamer Guild. And they are already considered extremely important figures in the eyes of ordinary beast tamers."

Marquis Tianyin nodded: "Your summary is correct; that is indeed the point."

Qianrenhou flattered Zhou Heng from the side, saying, "Junior Uncle has really made a fortune today. Whether it's the six Yitian Crystal Jade, the ten eighth-tier treasures, or the two extraordinary potential high-level overlord-quality beast cubs, they are all extremely precious. The entire wealth of an ordinary eighth-tier monarch beast tamer probably cannot compare to Junior Uncle's gains today."

Zhou Heng nodded frankly: "The rest is fine, but the key is these six Yitian Crystal Jade, which are hard currency. It's really commendable that the Qingyang Society is so dedicated. No wonder so many powerful figures in the alliance have shown mercy to the Qingyang Society throughout history."

Marquis Tianyin continued, "The most crucial thing is still the two beast cubs of superior overlord quality. If they are given to a genius with S-level talent through a contract, they will definitely produce two seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers. If they are given to a genius with SS-level talent through a contract, they could even produce two eighth-tier monarch beast tamers."

A superior overlord-quality beast cub has the potential to reach the eighth tier, but after a beast tamer with S-rank talent contracts with it, the growth rate of the superior overlord-quality beast will be slowed down.

Limited by the lifespan of the Beast Tamer, the Beast Tamer will pass away before the day when the Beast Tamer of the superior quality is promoted to the eighth rank.

However, SS-level talent beast tamers who form contracts with the young beasts of a superior overlord grow faster than S-level talent beast tamers.

Therefore, a Beastmaster with SS-level talent can live to see the Beastmaster of a high-ranking overlord advance to the eighth rank.

This is why, when Zhou Heng announced his second talent, Emperor Xuepo said that among the more than twenty eighth-tier monarch beast tamers in the Alliance and the Beast Tamer Guild, some of their main beasts were not of mythical quality, but merely of superior overlord quality.

Zhou Heng casually said, "SS-level talents are not easy to come by. On average, only one appears every twenty years in the entire universe. Although aristocratic families are powerful, their population base is insufficient. On the contrary, the probability of SS-level talents appearing among poor families and commoners is much higher."

Li Lang looked on with envy: "In any case, the things Qingyang gives away are all genuine. Having talent is amazing; people come rushing to your door to give you gifts even when you're just sitting at home."

Marquis Tianyin flattered, "This is mainly because Junior Uncle has this value! Junior Uncle hasn't fully grown up yet, so Qingyang Society can directly gain Junior Uncle's friendship by giving away these treasures. If Junior Uncle fully grows up one day, even if we sell the entire Qingyang Society, Junior Uncle probably won't even give it a second glance."

Qianrenhou also wore a fawning smile: "Junior Uncle is a prodigy, born into a noble family, and has even become a disciple of the Grandmaster. He has no shortage of treasures. The fact that Junior Uncle accepted the gift from the Qingyang Society today is an honor for the Qingyang Society. Otherwise, when the Vice President of the Qingyang Society returns, he will probably be the one to suffer the consequences."

Zhou Heng's eyes were as clear as jewels: "That being said, the Qingyang Society is still very sincere. After all, I accepted their gifts, so naturally I appreciate their kindness."

"Junior Uncle is truly unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, possessing the virtues of an ancient gentleman!"

"Junior Uncle..."

Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren seized the opportunity to praise Zhou Heng lavishly once again.

Although Zhou Heng didn't say anything, the smile on his lips never faded.

Everyone enjoys flattery, and Zhou Heng was no exception.

Not long after, Feng Zhong and Feng Yong returned.

Li Lang immediately expressed his desire to return to Xuanxiao Star, and Zhou Heng had Feng Zhong and Feng Yong escort him on his way.

Then, Zhou Heng waved his hand and took out two seventh-grade top-quality crystal cores, one white and one black, which had been condensed to the size of a fist: "Junior Nephew Tianyin, Junior Nephew Qianren, these two crystal cores, one with light attribute and the other with dark attribute, were taken from two extraordinary creatures at the peak of the seventh grade. Although your tamed beasts, the Light Dragon and the Dark Dragon, are already at the seventh grade, they are still some distance from the peak of the seventh grade. Absorbing these two crystal cores with the same attribute can effectively accelerate the growth speed of your tamed beasts."
