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

Overall, Zhou Heng discovered that the Abyss Demon Dragon of superior quality had reduced its powerful skills from ten to seven, but these seven powerful skills were far superior to the previous ten.

Moreover, the Abyss Dragon still possesses the same skills it had when it was the Eternal Night Dragon, but for a beast of superior quality, these skills are no longer considered powerful and are merely ordinary skills.

While powerful beast tamers often possess more skills, the number of skills does not necessarily indicate the strength of the beast tamer.

For example, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng of superior mythic quality only has four powerful skills, but each one can play a decisive role in battle. Among beast tamers of lower quality, even if they have more skills, they cannot be its match.

Having a single, effective skill is a common tactic among high-level beast tamers.

The Netherworld Demon Dragon is also gradually moving in this direction.

After Zhou Heng finished checking the skills of the Netherworld Demon Dragon, the six beasts that had been playing near Ruilin Island returned to Zhou Heng's side one after another.

The Abyss Dragon raised its head arrogantly: "Old Deng, you should have seen my skills, right? How about it, were you surprised? You didn't expect me to be this powerful after evolving!"

Zhou Heng nodded: "It is indeed quite powerful. After evolving into the Abyss Demon Dragon, you have received an all-round improvement. You are much stronger than before."

The Abyss Dragon immediately revealed its true purpose: "If you're willing to perform another evolution ritual for me, I can definitely become even stronger than I am now."

Zhou Heng smiled and shook his head: "There's no rush for this."

The Abyss Demon Dragon persisted, determined not to give up until it achieved its goal: "Overlord Beast Taming can initiate an evolution ritual at the fifth rank. Although I am now an upper-level overlord, I still fall under the category of overlord beast taming. As long as I receive more spiritual energy, I will show signs of autonomous evolution again, and initiating another evolution ritual will be no problem at all. At that time, I will be able to evolve to mythical quality."

Zhou Heng reassured him, "You're right. The evolution requirement for Overlord Beast Taming is to reach level five, and there's no limit to the number of evolutions. But I can't let you evolve now because you've only just evolved. You haven't even become familiar with the power of the Netherworld Demon Dragon yet. It would be really inappropriate to start evolving again."

The Netherworld Demon Dragon huffed and tilted its head, "What's inappropriate about it? Wuji was born to be a high-level mythical beast. I just wanted to evolve to a low-level mythical beast as soon as possible. Why can't I? Humph! Old Deng is really mean. You're deliberately suppressing me."

The three-headed azure phoenix stretched out its wings and gently patted the Netherworld Demon Dragon: "Tyrant, you'd better watch your words. How dare you speak to your father like that?"

The Netherworld Demon Dragon immediately turned around and glared at the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix: "You're the only one who knows how to flatter Old Deng."

The Titan Lord stood to the side, arms crossed, and said, "If we don't try to please Dad, who else should we please? Are we supposed to be like you, constantly causing trouble and making a mess in front of him?"

The Abyss Dragon bared its teeth at the Titan Lord: "What's it to you? I think you're just jealous of me."

Zhou Heng stepped in to mediate: "Alright, no more arguing."

Knowing that Zhou Heng was more responsive to gentle persuasion than force, the Netherworld Dragon rolled its eyes and, like a child, pounced on Zhou Heng's arm, shaking it and whining, "Old Deng, can't you just do me this once?"

Zhou Heng deliberately put on a stern face: "Didn't you say I was bad? Well, I am bad, so don't expect me to perform the evolution ritual for you."

The Abyss Dragon was shameless: "Old Deng, you're the best! Hurry up and continue the evolution ritual. I want to evolve one more time; I want to evolve to mythical quality!"

The Silver Dragon of the Overturning Sea couldn't help but speak up: "Tyrant, I haven't even evolved yet, and you actually want to evolve again?"

The Abyss Demon Dragon, with a smug look on its face, said, "What's wrong? Even if I evolve again, I'll only become a lower-level mythical Slaughtering Demon Dragon, while after you evolve this time, you can directly become a lower-level mythical Returning Void Divine Dragon. Even if I evolve twice, it's still only comparable to your single evolution. Why can't I evolve one more time?"

The three-headed Azure Phoenix spoke in a serious tone, warning, "Tyrant, I'll remind you one more time: how to evolve and who to evolve first are all matters for your father to decide. You are not allowed to throw a tantrum in front of your father."

The Abyss Dragon ignored him and kept whining to Zhou Heng, "Old Deng, please, I want to become stronger."

Zhou Heng's lips curled up: "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Tyrant, don't worry, I'll perform another evolution ritual for you before you advance to the sixth rank."

The Abyss Dragon was overjoyed: "Really? When?"

Zhou Heng explained his plan: "I plan to initiate the evolution ritual for you and Jiu Xiao when you reach the peak of the fifth rank, allowing you to evolve to mythical quality. In this way, you can directly use the energy from the transformation from a superior overlord to a lower mythical being to break through the barrier from the peak of the fifth rank to the early stage of the sixth rank, and advance to the sixth-rank beast tamer as quickly as possible."

The three Qingfengs also showed joy: "So Father had already thought of this for us."

Zhou Heng looked at the six beasts and said sincerely, "There is a saying that parents who love their children will plan far ahead for them. I have always regarded you as my children. For you, the most important thing is to improve your level and evolve your quality. Naturally, I have to consider these things for you in advance."

Three azure phoenixes flew to Zhou Heng's shoulder and nuzzled his neck with their heads: "Daddy~ you're so good to us."

The Abyss Demon Dragon released Zhou Heng's arm: "Old Deng, why didn't you say so sooner?"

Zhou Heng glanced at the demonic dragon: "Did you ask before?"

The Abyss Demon Dragon had a very clever plan: "Little Phoenix and I are already at the second level of the fifth rank. The growth rate of the beasts of the upper overlords is much faster than before. In addition, with the large supply of your spiritual source power, it won't be long before we can advance to the peak of the fifth rank. At that time, we can start the evolution ritual again and directly advance to the mythical quality. We can also rush to the sixth rank at the fastest speed. This arrangement is really great."

Zhou Heng scoffed, "When have I ever not arranged the best for you?"

The Abyss Dragon waved its claws: "You're the best Old Deng in the world, alright?"

Zhou Heng retorted, "Since I'm so good to you, why do you still call me Old Deng?"

The Abyss Demon Dragon tilted its head: "This great one likes it."

Zhou Heng flicked his finger twice on the ferocious head of the Netherworld Demon Dragon, then pinched its cheeks covered with fine purple scales, and scolded, "You heartless bastard."

Having received Zhou Heng's promise, the Netherworld Dragon felt as sweet as if it had drunk honey, completely unconcerned about Zhou Heng's advances, behaving as obediently as a figurine.
