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

Upon hearing Zhou Heng's intention to advance his level as a trainer step by step, the Eternal Night Demon Dragon immediately uttered arrogant words: "What's the value in training a low-level bronze beast? If you're going to train, you should at least train a supreme beast."

Zhou Heng was already used to the Eternal Night Demon Dragon's straightforward personality, and patiently explained, "As the old saying goes, 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.' Nothing can be accomplished overnight. On the path of a beast tamer, I am just a newcomer. If I were to start by cultivating a supreme beast tamer, it would be too arrogant and I would definitely fail. Even if the family has no shortage of high-level resources, there is no need to waste them like this."

Caiyi Qingfeng readily agreed, adding, "Father is right, taking it one step at a time is the most appropriate way."

The Eternal Night Dragon snorted: "All you ever do is agree, agree, agree. Little Phoenix, you're practically Old Deng's loyal dog."

Zhou Heng reached out and flicked the Eternal Night Demon Dragon's forehead: "Tyrant, you're not allowed to talk about Jiuxiao like that! Jiuxiao is my little darling, unlike you, who only knows how to annoy me."

The Eternal Night Dragon's cheek scales turned purplish-red with anger: "Superficial old Deng, you only like to hear nice things, you can't listen to the truth."

Zhou Heng kept a straight face, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes: "What you're saying is all nonsense, of course I won't listen to it."

The Eternal Night Demon Dragon tried to continue its sophistry, but the Star-Devouring Kunpeng quickly extended its golden pectoral fins to stop it.

Immediately, the Devouring Star Kunpeng said to Zhou Heng, "Father, although my bloodline inheritance mentions that you humans have a profession called a breeder, which can help beast tamers advance their bloodlines, I have never seen a breeder cultivate extraordinary creatures and beast tamers before. Today, Father is going to show us, and I can finally feast my eyes on it."

"The cultivation of low-level beast tamers and extraordinary creatures is actually very simple." After Zhou Heng finished speaking, purple light flashed in his eyes, and a surge of spiritual power emerged, allowing him to scoop out a large, dark blue-green carp more than a meter long from the pool.

The large, dark blue carp was taken out of the water and imprisoned in mid-air by Zhou Heng's mental power, its gills making a silent opening and closing sound.

Zhou Heng raised his hand and pointed, drawing water from the pool to form a water sphere two meters in diameter one meter above the water's surface.

Then he used his mental power to move the large, dark blue carp inside the water sphere.

The six beast tamers watched this scene intently, including the ever-boastful Eternal Night Dragon.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Heng waved his hand and took out ten second-tier spiritual items and one third-tier spiritual item from his storage watch.

Although each breeder must innovate their own breeding routes and evolution rituals, the experience of predecessors can still help those who come after, given the many years of development of the breeder profession.

For example, based on years of experiments by many breeders, they discovered that pairing second-tier spirit creatures with third-tier spirit creatures would maximize the probability of these ordinary animals mutating, thereby evolving their bloodlines to the bronze level.

As for which specific second-tier and third-tier spirit items to use, that depends on the individual's choice of items.

Different combinations create different extraordinary creatures.

Zhou Heng naturally wouldn't be unconventional; for his first attempt at cultivating extraordinary beings, he also chose the safest method.

Because these spirit creatures have undergone special treatment and have been coated with a special medicine, ordinary animals simply cannot resist their allure.

As Zhou Heng threw ten second-tier spiritual creatures into the water sphere, the dark blue-black carp immediately opened its mouth and swallowed all ten creatures.

As time went by, the large, dark blue carp soon began to leap and tumble violently within the water sphere.

Just as Zhou Heng was about to throw the last third-tier spiritual item into the water sphere, the dark blue-black carp suddenly exploded, turning into a pile of minced meat that stained the water sphere red.

The initial attempt to cultivate the species failed.

This was not unexpected for Zhou Heng. Cultivating extraordinary creatures is like evolving and controlling beasts; failure is quite normal.

In particular, Zhou Heng was using an evolutionary path he had devised himself. This evolutionary path had not successfully evolved into extraordinary creatures before, so it was very likely to be wrong. It was necessary to conduct some experiments to find out whether this evolutionary path was correct.

Even if this evolutionary path is correct, it may fail during the evolutionary process for various reasons.

Zhou Heng was not discouraged. He scooped another large, bluish-black carp out of the pond and repeated the process as before.

Finally, they failed three times in a row.

During this period, Zhou Heng made some slight adjustments to the evolution ritual he had planned and modified the quantities of several spiritual items.

Finally, on the fourth attempt, the large bluish-black carp inside the water sphere did not explode and die. Instead, it underwent a complete transformation, shedding its bluish-black scales and growing a layer of fine golden scales. Its size also increased slightly.

A colorful phoenix circled and danced around Zhou Heng, exclaiming, "Daddy did it! Daddy's amazing!"

The Lucky Qilin King nuzzled Zhou Heng's shoulder with its Qilin horn: "Congratulations, Father, you finally succeeded."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng excitedly swam around Zhou Heng: "Great! Congratulations, Father, on taking the first step on the path of a nurturer."

The Silver Dragon of the Sea, the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, and the Titan Lord remained silent, but they were happy for Zhou Heng in their hearts.

A hint of joy appeared on Zhou Heng's face. He immediately used the powerful skill "Insightful Observation" of the Titan Lord to scan the golden carp inside the water sphere. A set of detailed information immediately appeared before Zhou Heng's eyes.

This includes the bloodline quality and strength level of this golden carp, as well as the skills it possesses.

This golden carp currently has a lower-level bronze bloodline and is only at the first tier, first level. It is in the juvenile stage and is the weakest of the extraordinary creatures.

After several failures, Zhou Heng finally succeeded in cultivating his first extraordinary creature with a lower-level bronze bloodline.

Zhou Heng took out his communicator, opened the software with the Beast Taming Encyclopedia function, and scanned the golden carp.

[Beep! Unknown extraordinary creature detected, currently being recorded...]

Feng Zhong stared intently at the golden carp, a lower-ranking bronze creature created by Zhou Heng: "This has never been included in the Beast Taming Compendium before; it is indeed a completely new species."

Feng Yong knelt on one knee: "Congratulations, Young Master! Congratulations! To become a Bronze-level cultivator in less than a day, Young Master is truly a genius."

Zhou Heng said calmly, "He's just a Bronze Breeder, nothing special. Any Beast Tamer can become a Bronze Breeder as long as they're willing to spend some time and resources."

Feng Zhong quickly replied, "That's different. Although theoretically anyone can become a Bronze Breeder given enough time and resources, some people need months and thousands of failures to cultivate a new extraordinary creature, and some even take longer. These people are definitely mediocre; how can they be compared to you?"
