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

After greeting Supreme Xuan Chen, Zhou Heng returned to Han Yue Cave Heaven, where he accumulated spiritual energy points while studying the subsequent evolution path of the Top Pearl Dragon Carp.

Since the Dragon Carp with the Top Pearl has already reached the Upper Gold rank, the next level up is the Lower Diamond rank.

Training instructors is easy to learn but difficult to master, and it gets harder and harder as you progress. It's easy to hit a bottleneck, and Zhou Heng is no exception.

Before he knew it, it was the end of April, but Zhou Heng hadn't made any progress.

Let alone starting to experiment with evolutionary rituals, they haven't even drafted a preliminary evolutionary ritual.

Zhou Heng worked even harder, neglecting to eat and sleep, but still without much success.

Seeing this, the beasts were all a little worried for Zhou Heng.

The Titan Lord seized the opportunity and said, "Father, would you like me to use my words to help you again?"

Zhou Heng shook his head: "Not for now. I already have some ideas, and I'll be able to evolve the Top Pearl Dragon Carp into a Lower Diamond level in a while. Your 'Words Become Law' technique consumes positive energy, and you already used too much positive energy to help me accelerate the growth of the Dragon Scale Golden Carp. While a Lower Diamond level evolution ritual isn't that high, it's not low either, and to some extent, its impact is quite profound, consuming a lot of positive energy, which is completely not worthwhile. Your 'Words Become Law' skill is linked to special cosmic laws. Based on my observations these past few days, the more difficult something is to do, the greater its impact, the more positive energy it consumes. At your current level, it's still a bit difficult for you to directly deduce a new Lower Diamond level evolution ritual for me."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, the advancement of a cultivator must be completed independently. Although you are my contracted partner, and we are closely connected and belong to the same body, even if you use your words to help me, it wouldn't violate the principle of cultivator advancement. However, I still want to try it myself. If it really doesn't work, then you can help me."

The Titan Lord did not press the matter: "I understand what Father means."

Caiyi Qingfeng cheered Zhou Heng on from the side: "Dad, you can do it! I believe you will succeed."

Although the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea, the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, and the Lucky Qilin King did not speak, they were also silently supporting Zhou Heng.

Looking at the concerned eyes of the six beast tamers, Zhou Heng was deeply moved.

Although they couldn't directly solve Zhou Heng's problems, each of their reactions warmed his heart.

The Eternal Night Dragon couldn't help but say, "You old man, aren't you usually so cunning? Why are you being so honest this time? Just because I said you had to complete it independently doesn't mean you have to. Even if you use someone else's help to create an innovative evolutionary path, as long as you don't tell anyone, who will know?"

Zhou Heng said solemnly, "What I want is to forge my own path as a nurturer and give back to the family in a better way. This kind of deception will only fool myself."

The colorful-winged phoenix flattered, "Dad is truly ambitious! I support you!"

After pondering for a moment, Fu Hai Yinlong couldn't help but ask, "Father, although the tyrant's words are fallacious, do you think there might actually be people who do what he says? If so, wouldn't many cultivators be just fame-seeking opportunists?"

Zhou Heng nodded first: "Theoretically, this is indeed possible, and there are even cases of directly stealing other people's research results."

He then explained, "But at most, this kind of thing only happens to low-level breeders. High-level breeders all have real skills. Moreover, breeders have a high status mainly because most of them come from good backgrounds. They bring a lot of benefits to their families by researching new evolutionary routes, and the families then provide a lot of support, forming a virtuous cycle. If someone doesn't have any real skills and can't bring benefits to the family, the family won't support them, and they will be exposed. So, if you're just a low-level breeder, it's fine to amuse yourself, but as a high-level breeder, if you don't have any real skills, it's impossible to fill the gaps in your family's needs."

Fu Hai Yinlong suddenly realized: "After Father's explanation, we understand."

The Lucky Qilin King nuzzled Zhou Heng's shoulder with its head: "It's a pity that I can only passively increase Father's luck. If I could actively increase Father's luck, maybe Father would be able to break through the bottleneck soon."

Zhou Heng said softly, "It's alright, Cheng Rui, it's enough that you have the intention."

……

The next day was May 1st, two months after the last time the Rainbow Winged Azure Phoenix, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon were strengthened.

Early in the morning, the colorful-winged phoenix looked expectantly at Zhou Heng.

The Eternal Night Dragon was extremely excited.

As for the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea, it was relatively calm.

Zhou Heng stepped forward and touched the wings of the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix: "This time you should be able to show signs of autonomous evolution. Then we'll return to the Canglan Plane and begin the evolution ritual for you."

The colorful-winged phoenix cheered, "Great! Daddy, I can finally evolve again!"

The Eternal Night Dragon hurriedly replied, "Don't forget about me!"

Zhou Heng patted the Eternal Night Dragon's head: "You should be able to advance to the fifth rank today."

The Eternal Night Dragon persisted, asking, "What about my bloodline? When will it show signs of autonomous evolution?"

Zhou Heng's lips curled into a doting smile: "It should be about time."

The Eternal Night Dragon was impatient: "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and help us level up and improve our bloodline!"

Zhou Heng immediately flew out of the breeding base with his six tamed beasts and found an area inside the floating fortress with a throne made of giant gemstone peaks. This was originally a habitat prepared by Zhou Heng's fourth senior brother, King Rongtu, for the Titan Lord.

As for the other beasts, the fourth senior brother, Rongtu Wang, also prepared different habitats for them according to their different preferences.

However, these beasts only stayed in their respective habitats for a while at the beginning. After the novelty wore off, they still habitually shrank in size and stayed by Zhou Heng's side.

Zhou Heng said, "Nine Heavens, Flying Glory, Tyrant, the usual rules."

The Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, the Overturning Silver Dragon, and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon immediately restored their respective sizes to normal.

One has a wingspan of 420 meters, one is 480 meters long, and one is 400 meters in size.

Zhou Heng looked at the colorful-winged azure phoenix and explained, "Jiuxiao, your current level is the fifth rank, first level, which has reached the level requirement for evolution. Therefore, I will not inject you with silver spiritual energy to increase your level today, but only with golden spiritual energy to enhance your bloodline."

Caiyi Qingfeng nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll listen to Dad."

Zhou Heng then said, "I'll first inject five streams of spiritual energy into you, and see how it goes. If it's not enough, I'll add more."

Caiyi Qingfeng naturally had no objection: "No problem, Dad."
