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

Zhou Heng comforted him, saying, "There's an old saying that failure is the mother of success, and experience is the father of success. Try again a few more times, and you'll succeed eventually."

Qianrenhou knew that this was easier said than done, but he dared not contradict Zhou Heng and could only say, "Thank you for your encouragement, Junior Uncle."

Zhou Heng then asked, "Which evolutionary path did your Light Dragons and Dark Dragons choose?"

Marquis Tianyin replied, "The Light Dragon and the Dark Dragon are known to evolve to a lower-level mythical quality at their highest. We have chosen the evolutionary path with the highest potential. The Light Dragon can first evolve into the Holy Light Dragon, a mid-level overlord, then into the Universal Holy Dragon, a high-level overlord, and finally into the Blazing Holy Dragon, a lower-level mythical quality. The Dark Dragon can first evolve into the Shadow Dragon, a mid-level overlord, then into the Dark Moon Demon Dragon, a high-level overlord, and finally into the Annihilation Demon Dragon, a lower-level mythical quality."

Zhou Heng did some mental calculations: "I remember you are only a little over 170 years old now. If you can evolve the Light Dragon and Dark Dragon to mythical quality in the future, you still have a chance to advance to the eighth level of King Beastmaster."

Marquis Tianyin was very self-aware: "The Light Dragon and the Dark Dragon are only lower-level overlords now. It is extremely difficult for them to evolve to mythical quality."

Zhou Heng patted Tianyin Hou on the shoulder: "You have the backing of the Xuanwu Ling family, and you are also your master's grand-disciple, what is there to worry about?"

Qianrenhou truthfully reported: "Although the Xuanwu Ling family is large and powerful, there are also many clansmen. Naturally, the resources distributed to each clansman are not as abundant as one might imagine. Although we, as the grand-disciples of our master, are relatively better off, our master was only a nominal disciple of our master back then, so naturally he cannot be compared with our junior uncle."

Zhou Heng immediately said, "You don't need to worry about these things. Since you call me Junior Uncle and have been by my side for so long, if you lack any resources when you evolve your beasts in the future, you can just ask me."

Marquis Tianyin quickly declined, saying, "How could we possibly accept this? As your elder, and us as your juniors, we have already felt extremely ashamed for not having been able to offer you anything of value. How could we possibly accept your resources?"

Zhou Heng said directly, "You don't need to refuse. These days, various forces have sent me high-priced resources, and my storage watches are almost overflowing. As long as you follow me well, I will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future."

Upon hearing this, the two junior disciples were both surprised and delighted: "Thank you, Junior Uncle."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng took the newly-breakthrough Star-Devouring Kunpeng and several other shrunken-sized beasts to Bixi Island, where he met his son Zhou Hongzheng, who was being carefully cared for by his parents.

Zhou's father subconsciously said to Zhou Heng, "Your aura seems to have become stronger again."

Zhou Heng's lips curled into a pleased smile: "Both Jiuxiao and Wuji have made breakthroughs. Jiuxiao has advanced to the first level of the fifth rank, and Wuji has advanced to the fifth level of the fifth rank. Both of them have provided some energy feedback to me."

Zhou's parents immediately turned their attention to the Star-Devouring Kunpeng behind Zhou Heng and the Colorful-Winged Azure Phoenix on Zhou Heng's shoulder, and examined them carefully.

Mother Zhou exclaimed in admiration, "The beasts of superior mythical quality are truly amazing! It hasn't been long, and the Star-Devouring Kunpeng has already broken through again. The Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix is ​​also quite good. Although it's thanks to your special training that it was able to advance to the fifth rank so quickly, that's quite impressive."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng and the Colorful-Winged Azure Phoenix were overjoyed to receive praise from Zhou's mother.

Looking at the spirited Zhou Heng, Zhou's father couldn't help but sigh, "Your mother and I still only have fifth-tier, third-level beast taming abilities. Compared to you, we're far behind."

Zhou Heng touched Zhou Hong's rosy cheeks in the swaddling clothes: "You are my parents, there's no need for you to compare yourself to me in this regard."

Zhou's father was proud of Zhou Heng: "We are all only A-level talents, so of course we can't compare to you. But even Du Si'an, who came to the Canglan Plane to find your tenth uncle last time, is an SS-level talent, and he still can't compare to you. He's almost graduating with his doctorate now, and his main beast tamer seems to be only at the fifth rank, second level. You're only a freshman in college, and you've already cultivated your main beast tamer to the fifth rank, fifth level. It's clear that even SS-level talent is far from enough in front of SSS-level talent."

Zhou Heng casually remarked, "Otherwise, why would an SSS-level talent be called a supreme talent?"

Looking at Zhou Heng, Zhou's father's eyes were filled with expectation: "Yes, S-level talent can be called excellent talent, SS-level talent can be called legendary talent, and only SSS-level talent can be called supreme talent. From ancient times to the present, every SSS-level talent is the strongest beast taming talent, and every SSS-level talent possessor is a chosen one of heaven, a darling of the universe. The lowest achievement is no less than a ninth-level Emperor Beast Tamer."

Zhou Heng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and paused in his embrace of his son: "Dad, Mom, is an SSS-level talent really the strongest talent? If someone has a talent that's stronger than a regular SSS-level talent, does that mean they can transcend the SSS-level category?"

Zhou's mother took the swaddled Zhou Hongzheng from Zhou Heng's hands: "This should not exist. It has never appeared in the six thousand years of history of beast taming."

Zhou's father echoed, "SSS-level talent is already incredibly powerful. I simply cannot imagine anything surpassing SSS-level talent."

Zhou Heng didn't dwell on the topic. Instead, he instructed, "Dad and Mom, the full moon celebration will be in half a month. Master will be coming to the banquet in person. Tell Grandpa and Grandma that they must make sure to hold a grand celebration."

Mr. Zhou immediately agreed: "I'll tell them later."

Zhou Heng then instructed, "Also, I'd like to see some old friends from Xuanxiao Star at this full moon banquet. Please help me arrange to invite them as well."

Mr. Zhou nodded: "No problem, we'll take care of it."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Heng left the Canglan Plane and arrived at the Hanyue Cave Heaven, where he met his fourth senior brother, Rongtu King, and specially invited him to attend his son's full moon celebration.

Upon learning that Zhou Heng's son had finally been born, the fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, was also very happy. The two brothers chatted together for a while, and then Rong Tu Wang suddenly discovered that the levels of the Devouring Star Kunpeng and the Colorful Winged Azure Phoenix had both broken through.

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Junior Brother, your Star-Devouring Kunpeng has advanced to the fifth rank, level five, and your Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix has also advanced to the fifth rank, level one. That means you've already raised both of your beasts to the fifth rank. When I was your age, let alone raising two beasts to the fifth rank, even my main beast was still stuck at the fourth rank. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"

Zhou Heng smiled broadly: "Senior brother, please stop teasing me."
