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

A sly look appeared in Zhou Heng's eyes. He deliberately tilted his head and teased the Eternal Night Demon Dragon: "What, you don't want to eat? Then forget it."

The Eternal Night Dragon jumped around and said, "Of course I'm going to eat! Anyway, it's you old dummy I'm eating, so why not take advantage of it?"

The colorful phoenix flew into Zhou Heng's arms and said coquettishly, "Daddy, I'm hungry too."

The Silver Dragon of the Sea circled around Zhou Heng's wrist: "Father, I want to eat grilled fish."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng, Titan Lord, and Lucky Qilin King are rather reserved, but as tamed beasts, they also enjoy eating delicious food.

"Don't rush, I've prepared all your favorite foods, so enjoy them to your heart's content!" Zhou Heng waved his hand and took out a pile of food.

Among these foods are the Refining Fruit and Liquan Spring that the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix likes, the living extraordinary creatures that the Eternal Night Demon Dragon likes, the Star Core prepared for the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, a large number of treasures and crystals that the Titan Lord likes, and spiritual plants that contain auspicious power and fortune that the Lucky Qilin King likes.

The Lian Shi and Li Quan prepared for the Rainbow Winged Azure Phoenix were both at the fifth level. One was the fruit that grew on a high-level bamboo-type spiritual plant, and the other was the essence of a spiritual spring flowing from a high-level spring. They were very suitable for the Rainbow Winged Azure Phoenix, which had already entered the sub-adult stage, to eat.

Finally, Zhou Heng brought out a giant barbecue grill with many King Wave Shadow Silver Fish on it, which was prepared for the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon.

Upon seeing a large pile of delicious food, the Eternal Night Dragon instantly restored its size to 400 meters, pounced on it, bit a supernatural creature, and began to feast.

"Thank you, Dad." Caiyi Qingfeng was very polite and thanked Zhou Heng before eating.

The Titan Lord followed suit, saying, "Thank you, Dad."

The Lucky Qilin King cheered with joy: "Father actually prepared rare and precious materials containing the power of fortune! Father is so kind!"

"You're welcome, go ahead and eat!" Zhou Heng reached out and ruffled the head of the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, touched the horns of the Lucky Qilin King, and patted the arm of the Titan Lord.

The three beasts immediately returned to their original size and began to eat.

Then Zhou Heng came to the side, casually unleashed a flame that landed on the giant barbecue grill, and then used his mental power to continuously turn the Wave Shadow Silver Fish King on the grill.

The shrunken, Sea-Covering Silver Dragon coiled around Zhou Heng's wrist, intently watching the Wave Shadow Silver Fish King begin to sizzle with oil. Although it was incredibly hungry, it showed no sign of impatience except for the unconscious drooling, all to maintain its image as a true dragon.

Looking at the star core floating in mid-air, the Devouring Star Kunpeng said to Zhou Heng, "Father, you fed me two star cores at the beginning of the year."

As Zhou Heng turned the Wave Shadow Silver Fish King over, he explained, "Before you advance to the sixth rank, you only need to consume two Star Cores each year, but I still have dozens of Star Cores left. It doesn't matter if you eat a few more. Anyway, it looks like you'll advance to the sixth rank in at most ten years, or maybe even less. You'll be able to advance to the sixth rank in five or six years."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng swallowed the two shimmering white star cores into its belly with a single mouth: "I understand what Father means, thank you Father."

After Zhou Heng finished grilling a large number of Wave Shadow Silver Fish Kings, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon also returned to its original size of 480 meters and began to enjoy the delicious food that Zhou Heng had specially prepared for it.

The other beasts had already eaten and drunk their fill.

……

In the days that followed, Zhou Heng continued his efforts, selecting another batch of lower-level gold-tier dragon-scaled golden carp that had recovered from their injuries, and evolving them into mid-level gold-tier dragon-tailed jiao carp.

During this process, Zhou Heng, inspired by his creation of the Dragon-Tailed Carp, quickly developed the subsequent evolutionary rituals for the Dragon-Tailed Carp.

After several failures, he quickly succeeded, evolving the Dragon Tail Carp into a high-ranking gold carp, which then evolved into the Top Pearl Carp.

The biggest difference between the Top Pearl Dragon Carp and the Dragon Tail Dragon Carp is that the original bumps on both sides of the top of its head have turned into a pair of small dragon horns. At the same time, a round red bony growth has appeared in the middle of the top of its head, just like a flaming pearl on its head. Therefore, Zhou Heng named it the Top Pearl Dragon Carp.

The moment the Top Pearl Dragon Carp was successfully bred, Zhou Heng also became a top-tier Gold-level breeder.

The next step is becoming a diamond-level trainer.

Breeders below the diamond level are nothing to aristocratic families.

However, once a trainer reaches the diamond level, they become quite useful to aristocratic families.

At Hanyue University, most of the instructors for the nurturing profession are only at the diamond level.

To draw a comparison, a diamond-level cultivator is roughly equivalent to a fifth- or even sixth-tier alchemist or blacksmith.

……

Time quickly came to April 15th, the day of the wedding of Yan Haosen from the top-tier Yan family, the Fire Phoenix family, and Qiao Xinrui from the smaller Qiao family, the Golden Carp family.

Zhou Heng had promised Yan Haosen that he would attend a banquet at the Taihua Sacred Realm of the Fire Phoenix Yan family, so he naturally wouldn't break his promise.

The Eternal Night Dragon usually either sleeps soundly after eating and drinking its fill, or it's like it has ADHD and can't stay still at all.

It asked curiously, "Old Deng, what gift are you planning to give this time?"

Zhou Heng casually said, "I plan to send two low-grade seventh-rank crystal cores."

The Eternal Night Demon Dragon was naturally stingy: "This gift is too precious. That kid from the Yan family only has an S-level talent. Even if he has the Fire Phoenix Yan family behind him, that's all he is. Giving him a fourth or fifth-level spiritual item would be enough."

Zhou Heng possessed quite a few tenth-tier spiritual items, so he naturally didn't care about ordinary seventh-tier spiritual items: "Although Yan Haosen and I aren't exactly bosom buddies, we're still ordinary friends, and his father has a good relationship with my father. More importantly, I'm the junior leader of the alliance, so I either don't give gifts, or if I do, I can't give anything too meager, otherwise it won't sound good."

The Eternal Night Dragon tilted its head and pondered for a moment: "That's true. You humans are just like that; you love playing these kinds of games."

Caiyi Qingfeng could always find an angle to praise Zhou Heng: "This is precisely the embodiment of benevolence and propriety among benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness. Dad did the right thing."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Alright, we should get going."

The Eternal Night Dragon perched on Zhou Heng's shoulder and yawned: "What's the rush? You can share the Big Head Fish's Four Directions Universe and roam freely, instantly appearing in the Fire Phoenix Yan family's Taihua Sacred Realm. Besides, you're the Lesser Alliance Leader; among humans, isn't it said that the higher one's status, the later one arrives?"

As long as it doesn't affect his own interests, Zhou Heng is a very easy-going and approachable person: "That's true. Someone of my status should indeed be the last to appear, but I can't arrive too late, lest the Yan family of Huofeng miss the auspicious time while waiting for me. After all, a wedding usually only happens once in a lifetime, and I have to give Yan Haosen some face today."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng couldn't help but praise, "Father is truly kind-hearted."
