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

Supreme Xuan Chen slowly shook his head: "This is different. Decades ago, when I evolved Dingkun to the lower-level Chaos quality, although I had not yet advanced to the tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer, I was already a ninth-level Emperor Peak Beast Tamer, just one step away from becoming a tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer. But you are only a fifth-level War General Beast Tamer now, yet you have evolved the mid-level Overlord Overturning Sea Silver Dragon into the lower-level Mythical Returning Void Divine Dragon in one go. I can only say that you truly deserve your SSS-level supreme talent; you are truly extraordinary."

Zhou Heng was very self-aware: "Just as Master said, my current achievements are due to my family background and my second talent. Without this second talent, I would never have been able to do this. Let alone directly evolving Fei Hong from the mid-level overlord, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, into the lower-level mythical Guixu Divine Dragon, even evolving Jiuxiao and Tyrant into the upper-level overlords, the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix and the Netherworld Demon Dragon, would not be an easy task."

Xuan Chen Supreme's tone became increasingly gentle: "Beast taming talent is the most fundamental quality of a beast tamer. Without it, one cannot even become a beast tamer. Your second talent, the Lord of Spiritual Source, allows you to easily evolve your beasts to higher qualities. This is your skill, and it is also your ability. Of course, this is what I value most about you."

Zhou Heng stood tall and proud, full of fighting spirit: "Thank you for your encouragement, Master. I will definitely continue to work hard and strive to evolve Jiuxiao and Tyrant to mythical quality as soon as possible."

Supreme Xuan Chen reminded him, "Heng'er, the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix and the Netherworld Demon Dragon can evolve one more time at this stage, but I still suggest you wait until they reach the peak of the fifth rank before initiating the evolution ritual for them. In this way, they can directly use the power of evolution to leap to the sixth rank. However, if you want to initiate the evolution ritual for them now, I won't stop you."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Great minds think alike. Even if Master hadn't said anything, I originally planned to wait until they reached the peak of the fifth rank before initiating the evolution ritual for them."

Xuan Chen Supreme looked at Zhou Heng, his eyes filled with admiration and satisfaction: "You now have six beasts: one high-level mythical beast, three low-level mythical beasts, and two high-level overlords. With such a configuration, not to mention ordinary eighth-tier monarch beast tamers, even ordinary ninth-tier emperor beast tamers might not be able to compare. Although to become a ninth-tier emperor beast tamer, one must at least contract one high-level mythical beast, as far as I know, neither Lu Xie and Ming Hui, nor Xue Po and Cang Wu, nor even Mi Luo from the Four Religions and Three Assemblies, have contracted more mythical beasts than you."

Zhou Heng remained humble: "But they are already ninth-tier Emperor Beastmasters, and their main beastmasters have reached the ninth tier. I am only a fifth-tier Battle General Beastmaster, far behind them. I still need to work harder."

Xuan Chen Supreme had a different perspective: "You have an SSS-level talent, while they only have an SS-level talent. Even if their current level is slightly higher than yours, they will inevitably be left behind by you in the future as time goes by."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but joke, "If Master keeps saying that, I'll get arrogant."

A doting smile curved the corners of Xuan Chen Supreme's lips: "When you last came to see me, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng was only at the fifth level of the fifth rank. Now you've already broken through to the sixth level of the fifth rank. And the Titan Lord and the Fortune Qilin King have also made breakthroughs. Add to that the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix, the Netherworld Demon Dragon, and the Returning Void Divine Dragon, whose quality and strength have all improved. Only a few months have passed, and your strength has undergone another great change. With your talent, what's wrong with being a little proud?"

Zhou Heng said solemnly, "Thank you for your praise, Master. However, as the saying goes, humility brings benefits, while pride invites loss. I always keep this in mind and dare not be too arrogant, lest I become complacent."

Xuan Chen Supreme couldn't help but sigh, "Heng'er, everyone says that no one is perfect, but I think that doesn't apply to you at all. In my eyes, you are a perfect person."

Zhou Heng was immediately embarrassed: "Master is teasing me again. How can there be a perfect person in this world? I actually have many shortcomings, but I just don't show them to Master."

Supreme Xuan Chen was extremely insightful: "If you didn't show it, and I didn't see it, it's as if it didn't exist."

Zhou Heng seized the opportunity to ask, "Master, you told me some things about combo skills before, but they were all rather general. Do you have any specific insights into combo skills?"

Supreme Xuan Chen frowned slightly: "Regarding specific insights, I have only a superficial understanding. You wish to train your beast tamers to unleash combined attack skills?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "I do have this idea, but I mainly want to ask Master's opinion."

Supreme Xuanchen analyzed the pros and cons for Zhou Heng, and advised him kindly: "You don't need to rush this. We can talk about it later. Your beasts are of high quality, and researching combo skills will take a lot of time and effort. It's more suitable for you to spend time researching combo skills after your beasts have reached a higher level and the advancement speed has gradually slowed down. Besides, aren't you going to devote some of your energy to being a trainer? Although you have good talent, you can't fill your time too full."

Zhou Heng was someone who listened to advice: "I understand what Master means. Let's consider the combination skill after I advance to the sixth-tier Commander Beast Tamer!"

Xuan Chen Supreme then added, "In reality, true geniuses don't obsess over combo skills, because they only need to continuously improve their beast taming levels. Only those with less exceptional talent spend a lot of energy researching combo skills. Once they develop one, they can significantly increase their strength without changing their level. But even if they painstakingly develop a combo skill, what good will it do? For true geniuses like us, while they're researching combo skills, we've already cultivated our beast taming to an extremely high level, allowing us to simply crush them with a higher beast taming level."

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment: "What Master said has enlightened me and opened up a whole new world for me."

Supreme Emperor Xuan Chen smiled with satisfaction: "It's good that you can listen to what I'm saying."

Zhou Heng then added, "Master, my parents once developed a set of combined attack skills, which saved their lives during an ambush and even allowed them to kill the enemy."

Supreme Xuan Chen said directly, "The quality of the beasts your parents contracted back then probably wasn't particularly high, right?"

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "At that time, their two initial beasts were both of high-grade diamond quality, and they perished after using their combined attack skill."
