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

The three books about side jobs that Zhou Heng's father gave him when he was in his first year of high school were indeed valuable, but no matter how thoroughly he studied them, his final achievements would not surpass those of the authors of those three books.

Especially in terms of trainers, it's even difficult to make someone a true trainer.

The learning materials sent by the fourth senior brother, Rongtu Wang, only scratched the surface regarding blacksmiths and pharmacists, but devoted a great deal of information to cultivators, containing the most fundamental secrets of this secondary profession, all in order to cultivate outstanding cultivators who would surpass their predecessors.

The main reason for this is that the trainer is the most unique of the three secondary professions.

Once a pharmacist has a medicine formula, it's not difficult to get started by following the instructions, and there's no requirement to create entirely new formulas.

The same applies to blacksmiths. Once they have mastered certain forging skills, they can easily forge magical artifacts by following the design blueprints. Similarly, they are not required to create entirely new blueprints.

But trainers must be innovative.

Even the lowest-ranking Bronze Breeder must cultivate a unique Bronze-quality Beast or continue an evolutionary path with Bronze potential.

This sounds easy, but above the bronze beast taming level, there are silver beast taming, gold beast taming, diamond beast taming, overlord beast taming, mythical beast taming, and chaos beast taming.

It gets harder the higher you go.

Because innovation is essential, there's no way to follow in the footsteps of predecessors like pharmacists and blacksmiths; each trainer must forge their own entirely new path.

And that is exactly what Zhou Heng is pursuing.

Faced with the study materials sent by his fourth senior brother, Rong Tuwang, Zhou Heng immediately began to study them day and night.

Since he was already a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer with powerful mental strength, he learned very quickly and achieved results in just over ten days.

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang made a special trip to Zhou Heng's floating fortress to check on Zhou Heng's progress: "How's it going? Isn't the profession of cultivator not as simple as you thought?"

Zhou Heng shared his feelings over the past few days, along with his plans for the future: "Being a trainer is easy to learn but difficult to master, and it emphasizes practice. Although I chose to major in advanced beast taming theory, if I want to become a powerful trainer, I must focus on practical application."

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tu Wang nodded and analyzed for Zhou Heng, "That's natural. Actually, for us direct descendants of aristocratic families, becoming a nurturer in the early stages isn't difficult. As long as you have enough resources and spend some time, it's easy to become a Bronze or Silver nurturer. It only becomes slightly more complicated from the Gold nurturer level onwards. And it only becomes challenging from the Diamond nurturer level. As for the Overlord nurturers above the Diamond nurturer level, or even higher levels, resources alone are not enough; you must also have corresponding comprehension and even a great stroke of luck."

Zhou Heng's gaze was firm: "I dare not say that I have great comprehension, but I want to give it a try."

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tu Wang's face showed expectation, and then reminded him: "The learning materials I gave you also include those on pharmacists and blacksmiths. You don't need to be too proficient in pharmacists and blacksmiths, but you should still have some knowledge of them, because there are certain connections between these three secondary professions. For example, when a breeder is raising beasts, various potions are very commonly used, and even some special treasures can be used in raising beasts."

Zhou Heng nodded: "I understand what you mean, senior brother."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang then added, "If you want to become a true breeder in the future, you need to conduct breeding experiments and create entirely new evolutionary paths. If you need anything, just tell me, and I'll make sure to arrange it for you."

Zhou Heng had his own pace: "No rush, I need to thoroughly understand the study materials my senior gave me first."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang nodded: "Alright."

……

It was already late September, and more than twenty days had passed since Zhou Heng officially became a college student.

That day, inside the floating fortress, Zhou Heng was studying the knowledge related to cultivators in a quiet room when the Lucky Qilin King suddenly sent a message through the Beast Taming Contract, saying that it was about to advance to the sixth level of the fourth tier.

Zhou Heng quickly flew out of the quiet room and arrived at the auspicious grassland due south.

The 240-meter-tall Lucky Qilin King radiated a dazzling red light, which condensed into a blazing aura of fortune that soared into the sky. Various auspicious Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms around it began to grow wildly.

The commotion alerted the five other beasts in the other locations as well.

The Azure Phoenix with Colorful Wings, the Silver Dragon that Covers the Sea, the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, and the Titan Lord quickly gathered around, then shrunk in size and surrounded Zhou Heng.

Not long after, the red light around the Lucky Qilin King suddenly contracted, and its overall aura suddenly became stronger, successfully advancing to the sixth level of the fourth rank.

The Fortune Qilin King, having advanced to the fourth rank and sixth level, has grown larger, increasing in size from 240 meters to 280 meters.

Immediately, the Fortune Qilin King's size rapidly shrank to three meters, appearing before Zhou Heng and loudly proclaiming, "Father!"

Zhou Heng stepped forward and stroked the mane on the neck of the Lucky Qilin King: "Chengrui, you only advanced to the fifth level of the fourth rank a month ago, how come you have advanced to the sixth level of the fourth rank now? Your advancement speed is really fast."

The Lucky Qilin King lowered its head and excitedly rubbed its forehead against Zhou Heng's: "This auspicious grassland that my father's senior brother arranged for me is just too perfect for me to live in. I feel that my growth rate has increased a bit here."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that my fourth senior brother put in even more effort than I imagined in the interior space of this floating fortress."

With a flap of its wings, the colorful phoenix leaped directly onto the back of the Lucky Qilin King: "Congratulations, Chengrui. In terms of strength, you have surpassed me, Feihong, and the Tyrant. In terms of level, you are almost catching up with us."

The Lucky Qilin King tilted his head and said, "Thank you, Jiuxiao. Although I am stronger than you for now, it won't be long before Father initiates the evolution ritual for you. Once you become a mythical beast, you will probably surpass me."

Caiyi Qingfeng was not blindly optimistic: "Although Dad has decided to give us special training, by the time we advance to the fifth rank and start the evolution ritual, you will probably already be at the fifth rank. I may not be able to catch up with you then. Besides, I am only a mid-level overlord. To evolve to the mythical quality, I need to evolve twice."

The Titan Lord reassured him, "With Dad here, everything will be alright."

The Eternal Night Dragon picked up the conversation, flapping its pair of purple fleshy wings twice, a hint of jealousy in its eyes: "Of course! I may not admire Old Deng in other aspects, but I do in this one. The little phoenix started out as just a high-ranking diamond, but with Old Deng's continuous help, it actually surpassed me and the Iceberg Dragon. Old Deng's second talent is indeed amazing, but he's just too biased."
