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

Unaware of the schemes of the Bingjiao Yue family, Hengyi Wang of the Shitie Wei family continued to chatter on, saying, "Actually, we also deserve credit for opening the public treasury this time and giving a large amount of high-level resources to the young alliance leader as a form of freshman welfare. If we two vice principals had firmly disagreed, even if Rong Tu were the principal, he wouldn't have been able to give so many things to the young alliance leader."

The Ice Shark Yue family's Dry Ice King raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that?"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of Hengyi Wang of the Shitiewei family: "Rongtu's scheming is too deep. He uses public treasury funds to curry favor with the young alliance leader, and takes all the credit for himself. In his mouth, we might even be the villains who hindered him. What a clever scheme!"

The Ice King of the Ice Shark Yue family remained unmoved: "What do you want? Are you going to go and explain all this to the Little Alliance Leader? Can you even explain it clearly? Do you think the Little Alliance Leader will believe you?"

The Prince Hengyi of the Shitiewei family sighed: "Of course I can't go and say these things in front of the young alliance leader. I understand the principle of not interfering in the affairs of relatives."

The Dry Ice King of the Ice Shark Yue family deliberately said, "That's settled then! Who told him to be the Little Alliance Leader's senior brother? Being close to the water tower gives him an advantage, that's his advantage, we can't compare."

The Hengyi King of the Shitiewei family immediately said, "We can't just wait around like this. Now that the young alliance leader has become a student of our Hanyue University, we should interact with him more and try to build a good relationship with him in other ways. It might bring great benefits in the future."

Knowing his family's plans, the Dry Ice King of the Ice Shark Yue family remained calm and composed, saying, "This matter still needs to be considered carefully."

The Prince Hengyi of the Shitiewei family was getting anxious: "You make it sound so easy. The young alliance leader is growing too fast. If we don't build a good relationship with him soon, we'll only become more and more passive."

After thinking for a moment, the Dry Ice King of the Ice Shark Yue family said, "Isn't the young alliance leader interested in becoming a nurturer? We can start from that angle. Although we're not actual nurturers, we're all hundreds of years old. With our high-level knowledge and ability to draw inferences from one instance to another, I believe the young alliance leader will be willing to exchange ideas with us when he has time. It just so happens that we are the vice-principals of Cold Moon University, and the young alliance leader is an outstanding student of Cold Moon University—this is also an advantage for us. Once we establish a relationship with the young alliance leader, it will be much easier to give him gifts or anything else in the future."

The Prince Hengyi of the Shitiewei family nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense, it's settled then."

……

On the other hand, after a long talk with his fourth senior brother, King Rongtu, Zhou Heng returned to his own floating fortress with his six beasts.

As soon as he landed, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng said to him, "Father, I'm about to break through again."

Zhou Heng was overjoyed: "After this breakthrough, you will advance to the fourth level of the fifth rank."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng wagged its tail: "Yes, more than four months have passed, and with Father's help, I'm finally about to advance to the mid-stage of the fifth rank."

Zhou Heng rubbed the golden head of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng: "Four months is just a blink of an eye."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng in its divine Kun form immediately soared into the sky, restoring its size to 420,000 meters, transforming into a gigantic golden divine Kun.

As a vast golden light filled the huge interior space of the floating fortress, under the watchful eyes of Zhou Heng and the other five beasts, the Devouring Star Kunpeng grew to a size of 450,000 meters in a short time, and its aura also became stronger, successfully advancing to the fourth level of the fifth rank.

The breakthrough of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng was extremely loud, and Zhou Heng's parents and two junior disciples, who had been living with him inside the floating fortress, all came to his side.

They gazed at the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, which was beginning to display the might of the divine beast Kunpeng in the sky, their eyes filled with admiration and anticipation.

Zhou's mother couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly worthy of being a beast of superior mythical quality, its power is simply too strong, completely comparable to the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon and the Sky-Patrolling Golden Crow of the two ancestors."

Zhou's father chimed in, "I've seen a lot and have seen many large beasts, but I've never seen one like the Star-Devouring Kunpeng before. As a fifth-tier beast, its body length has already reached more than four hundred kilometers. I really don't know how big the Star-Devouring Kunpeng will grow in the future. It may really be bigger than a planet."

Hearing his parents' words, Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Wuji is still in its growth stage. When it advances to the sixth rank, it will enter the sub-adult stage. It will enter the mature stage after advancing to the seventh rank. I can't say exactly how big it will be, but it certainly won't be too small."

Qianrenhou chimed in from the side, "The legendary divine beast Kunpeng is already enormous, with a size of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers being commonplace. Junior Uncle's Star-Devouring Kunpeng is the best among them. If it were to reach the ultimate form one day, it would probably be no smaller than Grandmaster's Edict Xuanwu."

Marquis Tianyin flattered Zhou Heng in various ways: "Although the size of a beast does not necessarily represent its combat power, the larger the beast, the more powerful it is usually. Junior Uncle's Star-Devouring Kunpeng is a perfect example of this."

Zhou Heng nodded: "What you said makes sense."

Mother Zhou then asked, "Heng'er, once the Star-Devouring Kunpeng advances to the sixth rank, will you take it into the starry sky to feed on the stars?"

Zhou Heng gave an affirmative answer: "That's right, why?"

Zhou's mother nestled against Zhou's father's shoulder: "Now I understand why the Star-Devouring Kunpeng is so enormous! If it wants to feed on stars, it can't be too small."

Zhou Heng explained, "That doesn't affect anything. After the Star-Devouring Kunpeng uses its Devouring skill, it can rapidly shrink objects to a size that it can swallow whole. No matter how large a star is, it's just a matter of swallowing it in one bite."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's father said, "No wonder it's called the Star-Devouring Kunpeng; the name is truly well-chosen."

As they were talking, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng rapidly shrank back to its original size of one meter, returning to Zhou Heng's side and affectionately calling out, "Father!"

Zhou Heng reached out and hugged the Devouring Star Kunpeng: "Wuji, you are really amazing! During this time, I have been supplying all the spiritual energy to Jiuxiao, Feihong and Tyrant, but your growth rate is still so fast."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng's two golden eyes were round and bright, shining with a crystalline light: "Thank you for the praise, Father."

Zhou Heng interacted with the Devouring Star Kunpeng for a while before saying, "Dad, Mom, it's been a while since I left the family. I'd like to take some time to go back."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou said in unison, "Okay, we'll go back with you."

The next day, Zhou Heng left his two junior disciples and Feng Zhong and Feng Yong to guard his floating fortress, while he took his parents and six beasts and directly shared the skills of the Star Devouring Kunpeng back to the Canglan plane.

Upon learning of Zhou Heng's return, all the relatives, including Ancestor Wanbao, gathered together.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Heng brought up the matter of starting the evolution ritual for the Rainbow Winged Azure Phoenix, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon as soon as possible.
