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

Before long, all six beasts had finished the food Zhou Heng had prepared for them.

They played with Zhou Heng for a while longer before finally stopping.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng only stayed in the Yan Yang Plane for one day before riding the Fortune Qilin King back to the Cang Lan Plane.

Because he had previously discussed with Patriarch Zhou and others that he would first return to Xuanxiao Star and hold a teacher appreciation banquet for several of his former teachers at No. 3 Middle School in Qianyin Blessed Land.

He planned to take his parents back with him, so he went directly to Bixi Island, where his parents lived.

When they met, they found that both Mr. and Mrs. Zhou had undisguised joy on their faces.

Zhou Heng immediately stepped forward and asked, "Mom and Dad, what's making you so happy? Why are you both so cheerful?"

Mother Zhou was overjoyed: "It's quite a coincidence, your father and I both made breakthroughs in our Beast Taming, each advancing one level yesterday."

"This is truly joyous news!"

Zhou Heng immediately shared the Titan Lord's skills, scanning his parents' faces to instantly determine the specific levels of their eight contracted beasts: "Sure enough, your beasts have all broken through. Dad's Frost Blue Crane King and Night Peacock have advanced to Tier 5, Level 3, while Frost Flame Dragon and Cloud Thunder Iron-Eating Beast have advanced to Tier 3, Level 7. Mom's Hundred Flower Deer King and Treasure-Containing Merman have also advanced to Tier 5, Level 3, while Bright Light Golden Crow and Jade-Eyed Nine-Tailed Fox have also advanced to Tier 3, Level 7."

Zhou's parents knew about the Titan Lord's abilities and were not surprised by this.

Zhou Heng was also happy for his parents: "The Frost Blue Crane King, the Radiant Night Peacock, the Hundred Flower Deer King, and the Treasure-Gathering Merman, although they are only high-level Diamond-rank beasts, were contracted by Dad and Mom a long time ago. It's normal that they have now advanced to the third level of the fifth rank. As for the Frost Flame Chiwen, the Cloud Thunder Iron-Eating Beast, the Bright Light Golden Crow, and the Jade-Eyed Nine-Tailed Fox, as lower-level overlord-quality beasts, their improvement speed is indeed extraordinary. I remember you contracted them a year and a half ago, and you only have A-rank talent. Even with abundant resources, it's still amazing that you can achieve this speed."

Zhou's father said to Zhou Heng, "They shouldn't have advanced so quickly. Including the Frost Blue Crane King, the Radiant Night Peacock, the Hundred Flower Deer King, and the Treasure-Gathering Merman, they should have taken another year or two to advance to the third level of the fifth rank, since they are only of upper-level diamond quality. As you said, our talent is only A-grade, and with the two combined, the speed will slow down a lot after reaching the fifth rank. Although the Frost Flame Chiwen, the Cloud Thunder Iron-Eating Beast, the Bright Light Golden Crow, and the Jade-Eyed Nine-Tailed Fox are lower-level overlords, they only advanced to the sixth level of the third rank half a month ago. They should have taken several months to advance to the seventh level of the third rank, but unexpectedly, they all advanced yesterday."

Zhou's mother glanced at the Lucky Qilin King beside Zhou Heng and said, "This must be because of our precious son's Lucky Qilin King. After all, children and parents are the closest, so the blessing we receive is definitely the most in the family."

Father Zhou suddenly realized: "That makes sense, otherwise it wouldn't explain why our beast-taming skills suddenly improved."

Zhou Heng turned to the Lucky Qilin King and asked, "Chengrui, is the effect of your ability to boost the luck of those around you really that immediate?"

The Lucky Qilin King said smugly, "Father, you underestimate me! I am a mythical-quality beast tamer, after all. If I didn't have any abilities, wouldn't that lower the level of mythology?"

Zhou Heng praised repeatedly, "Our Cheng Rui is truly amazing! I'll reward you with ten Five-Colored Auspicious Lingzhi mushrooms when we get back."

The Lucky Qilin King was overjoyed: "Thank you, Father!"

Zhou Heng casually remarked, "It seems that there will be a lot of good news coming out of the family recently."

Father Zhou patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder: "This is all thanks to you, my good son! You managed to contract such a magical beast as the Fortune Qilin King, which has brought good luck to the entire family."

Zhou Heng said sincerely, "My family protected me when I was weak and provided me with ample resources. Although I haven't reached my peak yet, I have some ability now, and it is my duty to repay my family."

Mother Zhou's expression was extremely gentle: "Not to mention that you awakened your SSS-level second talent and restored the prestige of the Zhou family, just the fact that you contracted the Fortune Kirin King and benefited everyone in the family has already far exceeded what the family has done for you."

Zhou Heng waved his hand and said, "You can't say that. The prosperity of the family will also benefit me."

Father Zhou nodded: "That's true. Your growth rate is too fast. If the family can't recover its strength and become prosperous as soon as possible, it will be of less and less help to you later on, and may even become a burden in the end."

Zhou Heng spoke sincerely and solemnly: "My family will never be a burden to me, because you are in my family, as are my grandparents. You are all my closest relatives."

Mr. Zhou couldn't help but sigh, "We've actually accomplished quite nothing in our lives. The only thing worth mentioning is that we gave birth to such an exceptional prodigy as you."

Zhou's mother nestled beside Zhou's father, smiling as she looked at Zhou Heng: "My dear son, watching you mature little by little, watching you grow stronger little by little, we are truly happy."

Zhou Heng's eyes shone brightly, like stars: "I am very happy to have you, my family, by my side."

The family of three chatted warmly for a while and then had a meal.

Subsequently, Zhou Heng shared the skills of the Devouring Star Kunpeng and, along with his parents, six beast tamers, and two junior disciples, left the Canglan Plane and returned to the Thousand Sound Blessed Land on Xuanxiao Star.

He immediately summoned the sixth-order transcendent creature, the Deep Sea Troll, who was staying in the Thousand Sound Blessed Land, and sent it to deliver a message to the prominent people on Xuanxiao Star, asking them to come and attend the teacher appreciation banquet he had prepared for Principal Wan of No. 3 Middle School, practical course teacher Zhang Peng, theoretical course teacher Xu Weiran, and Chen Qingshan the next day.

The next day, all the fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers and above from Xuanxiao Star arrived, along with their relatives.

There are approximately ten thousand or so fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers and above who reside permanently on Xuanxiao Star.

But this time, not only did they come, they also brought some relatives.

Therefore, a total of tens of thousands of people gathered at Qianyin Blessed Land, making it a particularly grand event.

The banquet to thank the teacher was specially hosted by the current Ice Halberd Marquis, the guardian of Xuanxiao Town.

Following the usual procedure, Zhou Heng first went up and said a few words of thanks to his teachers, and then the teachers said a lot of things to praise Zhou Heng.

Afterwards, everyone toasted and ate a feast of delicacies. The banquet lasted until evening before the guests finally took their leave.

After everyone had left, Zhou Heng specially kept the Ice Halberd Marquis, the guardian of Xuanxiao Town, behind.

The garrison commander of Xuanxiao Town respectfully asked, "Young Alliance Leader, what urgent matter do you wish to discuss with me?"

Zhou Heng didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "My initial tamed beast, the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, was originally just a high-grade diamond-quality Phoenix-like Azure Luan, which was given to me by the Alliance. Do you know its specific origin?"
