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

"Actually, this makes perfect sense. Cooperation is based on equal strength. Both the Zhou family of the Divine Dragon and the Yue family of the Ice Shark are ancient and large families, and our ancestors have produced ninth-order Emperor Beast Tamers, but neither of them has fully mastered the evolution path of Chaos quality, nor have they produced tenth-order Supreme Beast Tamers."

Based on the information provided by Ancestor Wanbao, Zhou Heng instantly saw through everything: "The Yan family of the Fire Phoenix, because of the existence of the Supreme Miaoyi, is a family that has produced a tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer, and must have mastered the evolutionary path of Chaos quality. If the Yue family of the Ice Shark goes to cooperate with the Yan family of the Fire Phoenix to deduce the subsequent evolutionary path of the Primordial Yinglong, they will probably lose both their wife and their army."

The old patriarch Zhou's eyes were filled with admiration: "Heng'er is right. The Ice Shark Yue family has been holding back their ambition all these years! On the surface, they are being polite and cooperative with the Fire Phoenix Yan family, but in reality, they are waiting to deliver a heavy blow to the Fire Phoenix Yan family."

Zhou Heng conducted a rational analysis: "This should not be easy. The Yan family of Fire Phoenix has the Venerable Miaoyi behind them. Although the Venerable Miaoyi passed away seven hundred years ago, the beasts she left behind are still alive and secretly protect the Yan family of Fire Phoenix."

Zhou Heng was slightly surprised but didn't react much to the news that the Bingjiao Yue family was going to harm the Huofeng Yan family.

Although he had a good relationship with Yan Haosen of the Yan family of Huofeng, they were essentially just ordinary friends.

Even if the Ice Shark Yue family hadn't done anything to the Fire Phoenix Yan family yet, Zhou Heng would most likely still secretly choose to help the Ice Shark Yue family.

After all, the interests of the Ice Shark Yue family and the Divine Dragon Zhou family are now intertwined.

Ancestor Wanbao nodded slightly: "That's why the Ice Shark Yue family wants to evolve their family's peak ninth-tier Primordial Yinglong to the Chaos quality, thereby advancing it to a tenth-tier Beast Taming. In this way, theoretically, they won't be much different from the Fire Phoenix Yan family."

Madam Zhou said solemnly, "No matter what, ensuring the interests of our family is the most important thing."

Ancestor Wanbao's eyes were deep and wise, filled with a sense of vicissitude: "That's natural. Once the evolutionary path of the Primordial Yinglong is fully deduced, it will be a great thing for our Divine Dragon Zhou family."

Zhou Heng waved his hand and took out a blue storage ring: "Ancestor, this was a gift from my fourth senior brother during a freshman welfare event. It contains a large amount of high-level resources, including 80,000 kinds of seventh-tier spiritual creatures, 5,000 kinds of eighth-tier spiritual creatures, and 200 kinds of ninth-tier spiritual creatures. Among the beast cubs, there is one mid-level overlord, three low-level overlords, and eighty high-level diamonds. There are also many treasures and potions of relatively low quality, but in considerable quantities, all from the public treasury of Hanyue University."

Ancestor Wanbao scanned the blue storage ring with his spiritual power. After his initial surprise, he couldn't help but tease, "King Rongtu is quite shrewd, using Hanyue University's resources to curry favor with you. This time, he's probably emptied out most of Hanyue University's accumulated wealth over the years."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Some things are judged by actions, not intentions. No one in the world is perfect when it comes to intentions. I have indeed benefited, and that's enough."

Ancestor Wanbao nodded repeatedly: "That's true. Even a large family would feel a pang of pain if they had to take out so many high-level spiritual items at once, and some with shallower resources might not even be able to afford them. Although they weren't taken directly from the Zhang family of the Heavenly Serpent, King Rongtu's act of using someone else's resources to present them to the Buddha was quite clever, and we should be indebted to him."

Even among large, established families, there are distinctions of rank and status.

Generally speaking, the longer a family has been passed down, the deeper its heritage becomes, and the more resources it accumulates within the family.

If the time of inheritance is too short, there is simply not enough time to accumulate a large amount of resources, which is a sign of insufficient foundation.

Zhou Heng immediately said, "Ancestor, I want to hand over all these resources to the family."

Ancestor Wanbao waved his hand: "Heng'er, these things were specially given to you by King Rongtu. You can keep them for yourself."

Zhou Heng insisted, "The family has sacrificed too much for me. From initiating the evolution ritual for Jiuxiao before, to this time, all three of my tamed beasts need to undergo evolution rituals. A large number of spiritual items have been provided by the family. If we continue to be unable to make ends meet, even with the family's deep resources, this is probably not a long-term solution."

Ancestor Wanbao declined, saying, "You don't need to worry about that. Our family has been passed down for over three thousand years, and we haven't been living off our past achievements. Although most of our family members aren't very strong, they are very useful in other ways. For example, they search for resources in various places, or they cultivate various spiritual flowers and fruits in the Canglan Plane, or they manage various industries for the family... All of these things can give back to the family in various ways."

The old patriarch Zhou also said from the side, "Heng'er, with your exceptional talent, you don't need to worry about these mundane matters. You just need to focus on improving your beast-taming skills. We will arrange all the resources you need."

Within a family, there are strong and weak members, and therefore, their roles are also different.

The weaker tribesmen produce various resources to ensure logistical support, while the stronger tribesmen protect the weaker tribesmen.

With proper resource allocation and long-term accumulation, a family will eventually prosper.

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and changed his reason: "Grandpa is right. However, after Jiuxiao, Feihong, and Tyrant evolve this time, according to the known evolutionary path, they can all evolve again. At that time, Jiuxiao and Tyrant will evolve to lower-level mythical quality, while Feihong will evolve to upper-level mythical quality, which will consume more resources. It's a good time to use the resources that my fourth senior brother gave me. Please ask the ancestor to help me barter for the spiritual items I need."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Wanbao said, "Since you insist, then hand over the eighth-tier and ninth-tier spiritual items that King Rongtu gave you to me. In a couple of days, I will take some time to exchange them for the resources you need for your next evolution."

Zhou Heng immediately handed over the five thousand eighth-order spiritual items and two hundred ninth-order spiritual items from the blue storage ring to Ancestor Wanbao, who then put them away.

After a few more casual words, Zhou Heng suddenly asked, "The evolution of the Guixu Divine Dragon into the Primordial Yinglong requires a tenth-tier spiritual item. Does the family still have any in stock?"

Ancestor Wanbao remained calm and confident: "Although tenth-tier spiritual items are precious, our family has accumulated some over the past three thousand years. However, we don't have everything needed for the evolution of the Primordial Yinglong; we still have to barter with the Bingjiao Yue family."

Zhou Heng immediately said, "Thank you for your trouble, Ancestor."

Ancestor Wanbao reassured Zhou Heng: "Heng'er, don't worry about these things. Your Overturning Sea Silver Dragon will need to evolve twice to become the Primordial Ying Dragon. This time, we'll focus on evolving it into the Returning Void Divine Dragon first. When it evolves into the Primordial Ying Dragon later, we'll definitely prepare everything for you."
