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

Before long, the purple light around the Night Peacock became more and more concentrated, forming a protective shell that completely enveloped the Night Peacock.

Mr. Zhou was immediately overjoyed.

Zhou Heng and the old patriarch of the Zhou family both smiled.

Because Youye Peacock has already completed the most difficult step in the evolution ritual through its own power, this evolution will basically not fail again.

Zhou Heng concluded: "It won't be long before Jun Ye successfully evolves into the mid-level overlord, the Hao Ye Peacock."

The old patriarch Zhou nodded repeatedly: "It seems that's indeed the case."

Zhou Heng then said, "Grandpa, you stay here and keep watch. I'll go check on Mom's situation."

The old patriarch Zhou immediately said, "Go quickly!"

Zhou Heng's figure vanished instantly, arriving at another island hundreds of miles away.

On this island, the three-meter-tall Yunbao Merman with a golden fish tail is undergoing a painful transformation.

However, the treasure-bearing merman is not in particularly good condition, and there is a very high chance that this evolution will fail.

Zhou's mother stood next to Yunbao the mermaid, her brows furrowed.

Zhou Heng approached Old Madam Zhou, who was guarding the edge of the island: "Grandma, is Baozhu going to fail in its evolution again this time?"

Madam Zhou remained calm: "It's highly likely. The Treasure-Gathering Merman is still a little short of transforming into a mid-level overlord-quality Treasure-Collecting Merman. But it's not a big deal. It can just evolve a few more times. Anyway, with the Fortune Qilin King you contracted to bless it with its luck, the Treasure-Gathering Merman won't be injured even if it fails to evolve."

Not long after, the golden light around the treasure-bearing merman suddenly dissipated, and it spat out a large amount of unrefined spiritual objects. The golden scales on its tail also became much dimmer, and the half-human, half-fish body collapsed to the ground, its body covered in sweat.

A blue light emanated from between Zhou's mother's brows, and she quickly took the treasure-bearing merman into her beast-taming space to recuperate.

Although the treasure-bearing merman did not suffer a backlash due to the failed evolution, it still consumed a lot of mental energy and needed to recover in the beast-taming space.

Zhou Heng and his mother hurriedly came to Zhou's mother.

Zhou Heng comforted her, "Mom, don't be sad. As a Treasure-Gathering Merman, Baozhu skipped the Lower Overlord level and went straight to evolve from a High-Rank Diamond Merman to a Mid-Rank Overlord Merman. It's indeed quite difficult. This time she was just a little short. Once the evolution ritual is activated again, she should succeed."

Zhou's mother didn't take it to heart: "Don't worry, I'm over forty years old, how could I be upset by such a small setback? After Baozhu rests for a couple of days, I'm going to start another evolution ritual for it."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "It's best that Mom thinks that way."

Zhou's mother then asked, "Heng'er, how is your father doing?"

Zhou Heng truthfully replied, "Things are going very smoothly with Dad. Jun Ye should be able to complete his evolution soon."

Zhou's mother immediately said, "Let's go take a look."

Zhou Heng immediately took his mother and the old lady to the place where his father had evolved.

After a day and a night of waiting, the high-grade diamond-quality Night Peacock has completely evolved into the mid-grade overlord-quality Radiant Night Peacock.

Its purple feathers became much brighter, and pure white-gold liquid flowed in its eyes. After spreading its tail feathers, the eye-shaped spots emitted a dazzling white-gold halo.

Its body length reached 600 meters, and its level also advanced from the third level of the fifth rank to the fourth level of the fifth rank, and its aura became more and more powerful.

Father Zhou was overjoyed and flew to the top of the Haoye Peacock's head to interact with it.

After Zhou's father finished interacting with Haoye Peacock, Zhou Heng, Zhou's mother, the old patriarch of the Zhou family, and the old lady of the Zhou family came to Zhou's father.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Dad, on successfully evolving Jun Ye to the mid-level overlord quality."

A blue light emanated from between Zhou's brows as he took the Hao Ye Peacock into his beast-taming space: "I never expected that I could evolve Jun Ye to the mid-level overlord quality so early. Logically speaking, with my talent, I should have never been able to evolve Jun Ye to the mid-level overlord quality in my entire life. The fact that we were able to evolve him successfully is all thanks to you, my good son!"

The reason Zhou's father said this was not only because the Fortune Qilin King, which Zhou Heng had contracted with, had enhanced his fortune, but also because Zhou Heng was his son. Therefore, even though Zhou's father only had an A-level talent, the Zhou family provided him with a lot of resources so that he could cultivate his beast taming to the level of a hegemon.

In other large aristocratic families, it is very difficult for a member with A-level talent to evolve their beast taming into a dominant quality.

Zhou Heng stood in front of his father, slightly taller than him: "When I was little, Dad was my support, and now I am Dad's support. That makes perfect sense."

The old man was overjoyed: "My good son! We really didn't raise you in vain."

Madam Zhou sighed softly, "It's a pity that Yue Wan's treasure-enriched merman didn't evolve successfully this time, otherwise you two could have progressed together."

Zhou's mother was quite relaxed: "It's alright. Just as Heng'er said, I'll start the evolution ritual again another day, and it should be successful."

Upon hearing this, everyone offered encouragement and comfort to Zhou's mother before returning to Bixi Island and Ruilin Island.

Several days later, Zhou's mother once again initiated the evolution ritual for the treasure-bearing merman.

This time, the evolution ritual went extremely smoothly.

More than ten days later, the Treasure-Gathering Merman successfully evolved from a high-level Diamond to a mid-level Overlord.

The Treasure Mermaid's physique remained largely unchanged, standing at three meters tall. However, several colorful scales appeared on its golden fishtail, and a few strands of colorful hair appeared on its golden wavy hair, making its overall appearance even more beautiful.

After evolving into a mid-level overlord, her level also successfully increased to the fourth level of the fifth tier.

Zhou Heng, his father, the old patriarch, and the old lady immediately stepped forward to congratulate Zhou's mother, who responded with a smile.

The old patriarch of the Zhou family looked at the Lucky Qilin King behind Zhou Heng, his eyes shining: "Yuan Ting only failed twice this time to evolve the Night-Shining Peacock into the Bright Night Peacock, and Yue Wan only failed three times to evolve the Treasure-Gathering Merman into the Treasure-Accumulating Merman. Such a high success rate is largely thanks to the Lucky Qilin King. Otherwise, according to the previous probability, it might not have succeeded even after ten or eight failures."

Zhou Heng stroked the hard horn of the Fortune Qilin King: "Although Cheng Rui's direct combat power is not particularly outstanding, it has unexpected and wonderful uses in enhancing luck. In some ways, Cheng Rui is much more precious than ordinary low-level mythical-quality beasts. My master gave Cheng Rui to me to form a contract without saying a word. That was a really generous gesture."

The old patriarch of the Zhou family couldn't help but sigh, "The Supreme Alliance Leader has taken such good care of our Zhou family; we must repay this kindness."

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "We do indeed owe Master a lot of favors, and we will have to find a way to repay them in the future."
