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

Zhou Heng sat on his throne, scratching the chin of the Eternal Night Demon Dragon with his finger, and casually asked, "Blood Fiend King, I had my family investigate before. On the surface, your Red Sun Society only has you who has contracted a Netherworld Demon Dragon of superior overlord quality, but the situation behind the scenes is unclear. Now tell me the truth: besides you, how many other members of your Red Sun Society have contracted Netherworld Demon Dragons of superior overlord quality?"

"Now it is indeed only me who has a contract with the Abyss Dragon, no one else has a contract with the Abyss Dragon."

Guild Leader Red Sun, Blood Fiend King, hurriedly said, "Is the young leader worried about the contract slots? The young leader can rest assured. A Overlord Beast Tamer can only have a maximum of three contract slots in the same era. Even if your Eternal Night Demon Dragon evolves into the Abyss Demon Dragon in the future, including my Abyss Demon Dragon, it will only occupy two contract slots, which is more than enough. In the past, many predecessors have contracted with Abyss Demon Dragons, but these predecessors have all passed away. Although the Abyss Demon Dragons they contracted are still alive, without a Beast Tamer, they don't occupy any slots at all."

Zhou Heng then asked, "Does anyone have a contract with the Saint-Slaying Demon Dragon?"

Guild Master Hongyang, Blood Fiend King, explained carefully, trying to dispel Zhou Heng's concerns: "Among the current Four Religions and Three Associations, no one has a contract with it yet. As a mythical-quality beast, both contract slots for the Slaughtering Saint Demon Dragon are empty. Although I didn't know back then that the Eternal Night Demon Dragon was reserved for the young guild leader, the main reason I gave the Eternal Night Demon Dragon to the Golden Crow Li family to repay a favor was because the Eternal Night Demon Dragon's subsequent evolution path has plenty of contract slots, so there won't be a situation where someone else takes the contract slot. Otherwise, it wouldn't be repaying a favor, but rather making an enemy."

Zhou Heng nodded in satisfaction.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the Qingyang Guild Leader, Yougui Wang, and others took their leave. Zhou Heng and Wanbao Patriarch warmly tried to persuade them to stay, but the members of the three guilds eventually departed.

Zhou Heng looked at the empty seats below: "It seems that Master's advancement to the tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer has put immense pressure on the Four Sects and Three Associations."

Ancestor Wanbao didn't take it seriously: "That's normal. No matter how long the Four Religions and Three Assemblies have been passed down and how profound their foundation is, they have never actually produced a tenth-tier supreme beast tamer. Back then, they placed high hopes on Supreme Miaoyi, but in the end, Supreme Miaoyi betrayed the Four Religions and Three Assemblies. Even though Supreme Miaoyi still has some unbreakable ties with the Four Religions and Three Assemblies, it's really nothing special."

Zhou Heng suddenly said, "Ancestor, although the Four Religions and Three Societies have never produced a tenth-tier supreme beast tamer, they should have tenth-tier beast tamers hidden behind them, right? After all, these seven forces were established earlier than the alliance and are closely united. After thousands of years of research, it would be unreasonable if they didn't even have a single tenth-tier beast tamer behind them."

After a moment of contemplation, Ancestor Wanbao hesitated before saying, "There's a high probability that they exist behind the scenes, but there certainly isn't one openly. Whether they do or not, nobody can say for sure. Besides, the Supreme Alliance Leader is already a tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer, so whether they have tenth-tier beast tamers behind them or not won't affect the overall situation."

Zhou Heng nodded repeatedly: "That's true."

"Heng'er, you don't need to worry about these things too much. When you reach the pinnacle of the universe in the future, you can go and explore it yourself. I'll head back now." Ancestor Wanbao tore through space, turned around, and left Ruilin Palace.

"Take care, Ancestor."

Zhou Heng glanced at the Eternal Night Dragon, which was feigning sleep on his shoulder, and poked it with his finger: "How was it? Did you meet your dragon mother today? Were you happy?"

The Eternal Night Dragon shook its purple fleshy wings: "Happy my ass! My memories of that mother dragon are long gone. What dragon mother? Go find her yourself if you want."

Knowing the Night Dragon's personality, Zhou Heng feigned surprise: "You don't even acknowledge your Dragon Mother anymore? You're too unconventional."

The Eternal Night Dragon sneered: "Old Deng, I've said it before, don't try to use your human moral values ​​to bind us beast tamers."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but tease, "Your mother was so warm to you just now, how could you be so heartless?"

Although the Eternal Night Dragon was cowardly, it was also extremely shrewd, able to see through many things at a glance: "That mother dragon was enthusiastic towards me because I am your beast tamer. If you weren't the apprentice of a tenth-tier supreme beast tamer, and hadn't awakened an SSS-level second talent, but were just an ordinary aristocratic prodigy, do you think it would be enthusiastic towards me?"

Zhou Heng couldn't help but shrug: "Even beast tamers are this pragmatic?"

Caiyi Qingfeng chimed in from the side, "Father, although beasts also have emotions, just like humans, many of their emotions can only be built up through daily interactions."

The Eternal Night Dragon was quite blunt: "Little Phoenix is ​​right. I was sealed away right after I was born and sent to the Golden Crow Li family. I didn't have much time to spend with that mother dragon, so it would be strange if I could have developed feelings for her."

Zhou Heng fiddled with the Eternal Night Dragon's tail for a moment: "But you're connected by blood!"

The Eternal Night Dragon scoffed, "You think beast tamers are like you humans? That mother dragon is at least several hundred years old, and has given birth to countless children. I'm just one of them. Even among humans, when there are many children, there are bound to be favoritisms, let alone beast tamers. Your good brother, that big idiot Li Lang, hasn't he told you about his family?"

Zhou Heng seemed to understand what he meant: "I understand what you mean."

In its miniature form, the Eternal Night Dragon's red eyes widened, its cheeks puffed out, looking sullen: "Old Deng, you'd better really understand, and stop bothering me with these embarrassing little things about dragons."

Zhou Heng was amused by the Eternal Night Dragon's adorable appearance and couldn't help but reach out and pinch its cheek: "Alright, alright, I'll never mention your Dragon Mother again."

The Eternal Night Dragon quickly extended its claws and shoved Zhou Heng's hand aside: "I don't believe you! Just by looking at you, I know you old rascal are definitely up to no good!"

Zhou Heng grabbed the Eternal Night Dragon's claw again, teasing it like a child: "You little brat, how can you be so petty?"

Just as they were joking around, the old master of the Zhou family and his wife walked in.

The two asked Qingyang Guild Leader Youguiwang and others about their meeting with Zhou Heng, and Zhou Heng gave them a detailed account.

Patriarch Zhou couldn't help but sigh, "Five thousand kinds of ninth-tier spiritual creatures plus fifty kinds of tenth-tier spiritual creatures—these are equivalent to a quarter of what the Supreme Alliance Leader bestowed upon the two ancestors. After all, the Three Assemblies don't have any tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamers; they've truly gone all out this time."

Zhou Heng had his own opinion: "Currently, the leader of the Four Religions and Three Societies is the Qingyang Society, and the strongest person is the Qingyang Society's ancestor, Emperor Miluo. Although he is only a ninth-level Emperor Beast Tamer, if he wants to access the treasures of the Four Religions and Three Societies, ordinary people really can't stop him."

Madam Zhou reminded him, "Emperor Mi Luo cannot be considered to have absolute power within the Four Religions and Three Assemblies. Several ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamers have emerged in the history of the Four Religions and Three Assemblies. After these ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamers passed away, their beasts were still alive. Although these ninth-tier beasts are usually dormant, they are still a kind of deterrent. The people of the Heavenly Principle Sect can check and balance Emperor Mi Luo invisibly."
