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

Ji Chao replied truthfully, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have reserved a mid-grade diamond-quality beast cub, but I do not know when it will be available."

Zhou Heng was very puzzled: "Why didn't you reserve a high-level diamond? Your Ji family has been making a fortune on Xuanxiao Star by using my name, don't you even have this much financial resources?"

Ji Chao gave a slightly bitter smile: "High-level diamonds have the potential to directly advance to the sixth rank. For a direct descendant of a noble family like the Lord, it's nothing, but in the outside world, they would be fought over, and the supply simply cannot meet the demand. Our Ji family has been a powerful family for hundreds of years, and the strongest beast left by our ancestors is only a mid-level diamond."

Li Lang was able to purchase a high-grade diamond-quality beast cub from the Xuanxiao Merchants Association not only because of the blessing of the Lucky Qilin King, but also because the members of the Merchants Association gave him special treatment out of respect for Zhou Heng.

Although Ji Chao was Zhou Heng's dog, his status was far inferior to Li Lang's.

Zhou Heng asked in confusion, "Didn't you marry into the Wu family? The Wu family is stronger than the Ji family, so why aren't they helping you?"

Ji Chao sighed: "The strongest member of the Wu family is only a sixth-level commander-level beast tamer. If a high-level diamond-quality beast cub falls into their hands, they will only keep it for themselves and will not easily give it to others."

As the heir of a large aristocratic family, Zhou Heng couldn't even be bothered by beasts below the level of overlords, let alone ordinary overlord-level beasts, which made his standards exceptionally high.

In reality, even diamond-quality beasts are extremely precious outside of aristocratic families.

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly: "You're supposed to be my dog, but your main beast tamer is only of high-grade gold quality. It's laughable if word gets out."

Ji Chao immediately trembled with fear, saying, "Your subordinate is incompetent, please forgive me, my lord."

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Heng created a five-meter-long green crystal that appeared in front of Ji Chao.

The green crystal is a sealing substance that contains a young beast.

Zhou Heng casually said, "This mid-grade diamond-quality Molten Dragon Lizard is yours."

Overwhelmed by the immense joy, Ji Chao looked almost weeping with happiness: "Your Majesty's grace is boundless, I am unworthy of such praise..."

Zhou Heng said with an indifferent look, "What's given to you is yours. Don't dawdle here."

Ji Chao kowtowed three times, saying, "Thank you for your grace, Lord!"

Zhou Heng waved his hand and threw out another black inheritance crystal: "The Molten Dragon Lizard can evolve to high-grade diamond quality. If you nurture it well, it will definitely become an important asset for your Ji family in the future."

Ji Chao was moved to tears: "My lord has considered everything so thoroughly for his subordinate, yet I am unable to repay him. I am truly..."

Zhou Heng discovered that Ji Chao had a histrionic personality disorder, so he waved his hand and said, "Alright, we've been master and servant for a year or two now, there's no need to be so pretentious in front of me. Besides, you're always very proactive in making offerings, which deserves a reward."

Ji Chao sincerely said, "Without the protection of our lord, the Ji family would be nothing but a piece of fat meat on Xuanxiao Star. Offering tribute to you is the Ji family's duty, and I dare not take credit for it."

Zhou Heng's face showed impatience: "If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Ji Chao kowtowed again and tactfully withdrew, saying, "This subordinate takes his leave."

……

In late December, Zhou Heng visited the Eternal Order Sacred Realm again and reported his progress in training instructors to Emperor Xuan Chen.

Emperor Xuanchen naturally encouraged Zhou Heng once again.

Furthermore, citing the fact that training is the most resource-intensive secondary profession, they gifted Zhou Heng a large amount of resources.

Two days after returning, the Lucky Qilin King successfully advanced to the seventh level of the fourth rank.

Its size increased directly from 280 meters to 300 meters.

Three days later, the Titan Lord also advanced to the fourth tier, eighth level.

Its height increased directly from 2,000 meters to 2,800 meters, making it the second largest of Zhou Heng's six tamed beasts.

Apart from the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, it is the most imposing of them all.

After his successful promotion, the Titan Lord shrunk back to three meters in size.

The Eternal Night Dragon tapped the Titan Lord's hard, blue crystal muscles with its claws: "Mythical Beast Taming advancement is fast. If I hadn't eaten the Golden Cauldron Condensing Profound Fruit, you would have caught up with my level."

The Titan Lord waved his hand, knocking away the Night Dragon's claw: "No matter how many Golden Cauldron Condensing Fruits you eat, your actual combat strength is still no match for mine."

The Eternal Night Dragon retorted defiantly, "I hope you'll still be this stubborn after I evolve to mythical quality."

The Titan Grand Lord scoffed, "You'll have to evolve successfully first!"

The Eternal Night Dragon turned and jumped onto Zhou Heng's shoulder: "With Old Deng here, I'm sure I'll succeed."

The Titan Lord glanced sideways at the Night Dragon: "You're just lucky to have become my beast tamer, otherwise..."

The Eternal Night Dragon retorted, "Or what?"

The Titan Lord clenched his fist: "Otherwise, I could easily flatten and roll you out with one hand."

The Eternal Night Dragon deliberately provoked, "My luck is just that good, how about it? Not only did I become Old Deng's tamed beast, but I'm also ranked ahead of you. Aren't you angry?"

The Titan Lord didn't even want to give the Night Dragon a second glance: "Boring."

……

The day after the Titan Lord broke through to the eighth level of the fourth rank was the last day of December, December 31st.

Two months have passed since Zhou Heng last used the Spirit Source Pearl, and sixty more streams of spiritual energy have accumulated in the Spirit Source Pearl.

After having lunch with his parents, Zhou Heng led his six tamed beasts to the vicinity of the parasol tree forest that his fourth senior brother, Rongtu Wang, had prepared for the Rainbow Winged Azure Phoenix inside the floating fortress.

The Eternal Night Dragon had been itching to get going: "Old Deng, isn't it time to give us another boost?"

Zhou Heng reached out and scratched the Eternal Night Dragon's chin, teasingly asking, "What else?"

The colorful-winged phoenix cheered with joy: "Great! We can become stronger again!"

Zhou Heng commanded, "Jiuxiao, Feihong, Tyrant, quickly restore your sizes to normal."

The Azure Phoenix with Colorful Wings, the Silver Dragon that Covers the Sea, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon immediately transformed into a 320-meter-long azure phoenix, a 450-meter-long silver dragon, and a 350-meter-long purple dragon, as Zhou Heng commanded.

Following the order, Zhou Heng first extracted forty-five spirit source points from the spirit source pearl, converted them into silver-level energy points, and then divided them into three parts, each containing fifteen silver-level energy points, which were then injected into the bodies of the Rainbow Winged Azure Phoenix, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon.

With the help of the silver energy level points, all three of them experienced an increase in their aura, but none of them directly broke through their level.

The Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix remains at the fourth tier, tenth level, while the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon remain at the fourth tier, ninth level.
