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

Zhou Heng walked at the very front, head held high, exuding an air of grandeur.

He raised his hand and said to the guests in a generous manner, "There's no need for formalities, everyone. Today is my friend's big day, so please enjoy yourselves to the fullest."

Everyone quickly replied in unison, "We will obey the orders of our young alliance leader."

Zhou Heng gestured with his hand, "Please sit down!"

"Thank you, Alliance Leader."

After everyone sat down, many people quietly put away their original gifts and took out more precious treasures.

If Zhou Heng hadn't come today, Yan Haosen would have been just an ordinary prodigy of the Yan family of the Fire Phoenix Clan.

But Zhou Heng came today and personally admitted to his friendship with Yan Haosen, which greatly elevated Yan Haosen's status.

Many people found their original gifts insufficient and had to opt for more substantial ones instead.

King Chunqiu and King Qiongtian said solicitously, "Young Alliance Leader, please take a seat, both special envoys."

"it is good."

Zhou Heng and his parents immediately took the most prestigious seats, which were very close to the ancient sycamore tree that was 100,000 meters tall.

Zhou Heng waved his hand and took out two low-grade seventh-rank fire attribute crystal cores: "A small gift, please accept it."

"These crystal cores were obtained from two early-stage seventh-tier fire-attribute extraordinary creatures. The young alliance leader is truly generous!"

"Yes! A seventh-tier crystal core is much more precious than a regular seventh-tier spiritual item. After all, to obtain a crystal core, you have to kill a seventh-tier extraordinary creature. Extraordinary creatures at this level are often very well hidden, so finding them is not easy."

"The young alliance leader is the disciple of the supreme alliance leader, so he can produce even the most precious treasures. It's just two seventh-tier crystal cores."

"After the young leader's congratulatory gift, ours is completely insignificant."

"Indeed, who can compare to the young alliance leader..."

Upon seeing Zhou Heng's gift, many guests immediately began to flatter him in every way.

Some were rather brazen, openly displaying their flattery, while others were more reserved, choosing to subtly compliment Zhou Heng from the sidelines. But none of them dared to be completely unfriendly in front of Zhou Heng.

The old patriarch and the current patriarch of the Yan family of Fire Phoenix, one a peak seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer and the other an early seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer, were naturally present as important elders of Yan Haosen.

The old patriarch of the Yan family of Fire Phoenix immediately stepped forward and bowed: "It is already a great honor for our Yan family to have the young alliance leader personally grace us with his presence in the Taihua Holy Realm. Now, to present such a precious gift is truly an honor for this old man. On behalf of the Yan family of Fire Phoenix, I thank the young alliance leader for his kindness on behalf of Sen'er."

Zhou Heng casually said, "Elder Yan, you're too kind. Haosen and I are friends, and today is one of the most important days of his life, so I naturally have to prepare a generous gift."

Upon hearing this, the old patriarch of the Huofeng Yan family thanked Zhou Heng profusely before allowing the current patriarch of the Huofeng Yan family to respectfully accept the congratulatory gift from Zhou Heng with both hands.

Afterwards, the other guests also brought out their prepared gifts, which, depending on their status, were mostly fifth or sixth-tier spiritual items.

Aside from Zhou Heng, the highest-ranking guests were several seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers, who only brought out ordinary sixth-tier top-grade spiritual items.

This is already considered very generous.

After all, Yan Haosen was just a junior in a prestigious family who had some talent but had not yet fully matured.

Apart from someone as wealthy and powerful as Zhou Heng, no one else was willing to take out a seventh-tier treasure.

Moreover, this is also a tacit understanding, because Zhou Heng is the one with the highest status in the room, so the gift he brings out must be the best. If anyone else dares to bring out a treasure of similar value to him, it would be tantamount to provoking him.

Most of the guests at the event came from prominent families and were very familiar with the rules, so they were unlikely to make mistakes.

After presenting their congratulatory gifts, King Chunqiu, King Qiongtian, and a group of seventh-tier feudal lords and beast tamers from the Yan family of Huofeng spoke auspicious words and took turns toasting Zhou Heng and his parents.

Zhou's mother had to take care of her child, so she politely declined everyone's toasts, including those from King Chunqiu and King Qiongtian.

Zhou Heng and his father accepted all the drinks offered, since they were both fifth-tier warrior beast tamers and wouldn't easily get drunk even if they were drinking special spirit wine rich in energy.

Among the other guests, those of slightly higher status also took the opportunity to toast Zhou Heng and his father.

Although today is the day of the marriage alliance between the Yan family of Fire Phoenix and the Qiao family of Golden Carp, from the moment Zhou Heng stepped into this place, he became the center of everyone's attention and occupied everyone's gaze.

Looking at the old and current patriarchs of the Yan family, who were quite respectful to him, Zhou's father couldn't help but feel a little proud.

These two men, as Yan Yunguang's father and elder brother, held a status far exceeding Yan Yunguang's and even that of Zhou's father due to their innate talent and strength.

When Zhou's father was young, he had come to the Taihua Sacred Realm through Yan Yunguang's connections, but he was not taken seriously by these two.

Of course, it wasn't that these two were targeting Zhou's father. It was just that Zhou's father was only a junior with A-level talent at the time, while the old patriarch of the Yan family and the current patriarch of the Yan family were already high-ranking seventh-level feudal lord beast tamers. Therefore, their attitude towards Zhou's father was merely one of estrangement and indifference.

But now, Zhou's father has become an alliance envoy because of his son's status. His nominal position is higher than these two, and his actual status is also higher.

The two men had to fawn over Zhou's father, which gave him a very strange feeling.

Although Zhou Heng had awakened his SSS-level second talent and become Xuan Chen Supreme's disciple, Zhou's father had experienced similar scenes many times, but each time he couldn't stop and felt extremely happy.

Zhou's mother was completely focused on her grandson Zhou Hongzheng in her arms and did not notice the subtle psychological changes in Zhou's father.

After a while, accompanied by a loud ceremonial music, red petals rained down from the sky, and tens of thousands of birds with colorful feathers sang and sang, producing melodious tunes.

Yan Haosen and Qiao Xinrui descended from the sky, one riding a golden male phoenix and the other a silver female phoenix.

The two were dressed in antique-style bright red wedding robes and bright red wedding gowns, respectively, with colorful feather crowns on their heads and flower wreaths woven from paulownia flowers around their necks.

At first glance, they looked like a perfect couple from a painting; they were truly a match made in heaven.

The two were led down from the golden phoenix and silver phoenix by a master of ceremonies, followed by several best men and maids of honor.

One of the groomsmen, whom Zhou Heng also recognized, was Wei Qingwen from the Bai Ma Wei family.

Nowadays, weddings come in many forms, but aristocratic families generally prefer a retro style, adopting wedding traditions that continue from the ancients of seven or eight thousand years ago.
