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

After swallowing the fiery red planet, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng in its divine Kun form let out a long and pleasant cry, somewhat similar to the call of a whale, but even more profound and solemn, which still traveled millions of kilometers in the vacuum of space.

Zhou Heng carefully sensed the situation inside the Star Devouring Kunpeng's body and discovered that the fiery red planet was continuously providing energy to the Star Devouring Kunpeng, making it constantly grow stronger.

Although it couldn't compare to the speed at which he used Spirit Source Points to level up the Star Devouring Kunpeng, it was still much faster than ordinary beast taming directly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng circled the spot where the fiery red planet had disappeared, unleashing endless gales that caused the void to tremble.

A moment later, it shrunk back to about one meter in size and returned to Zhou Heng's side.

Zhou Heng smiled and asked, "How is it, Wuji? Are you full?"

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng swished its tail happily: "I'm full. I've devoured this fiery red planet and its surrounding satellites. This will last for several years."

"It's good that you're full."

Zhou Heng nodded to the Devouring Star Kunpeng, then waved his hand and took out a large pile of various kinds of food, looking at the other five beasts: "I have also prepared various kinds of food suitable for you, which can not only fill your stomachs, but also benefit your growth."

The three Azure Phoenixes, the Returning Void Divine Dragon, the Titan Lord, and the Lucky Qilin King all thanked Zhou Heng before beginning to enjoy the food floating in front of them.

As for the Netherworld Dragon, it pounced on the food as soon as Zhou Heng took it out and began to feast.

Zhou Heng watched this scene, patted the head of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng beside him, and a smile appeared on his face.

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng nuzzled Zhou Heng's palm with its head in response.

Zhou Heng thought of the enormous body of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng: "Wuji, if you don't actively shrink your size, you've already reached a thousand kilometers. Isn't it a bit uncomfortable for someone your size to stay in the floating fortress that my fourth senior brother gave me?"

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng in its Divine Kun form is different from the Star-Devouring Kunpeng in its Heavenly Peng form. It appears quite sensible: "It's alright. Although the space inside the floating fortress is a bit small, I can maintain my current miniature form as usual, so it won't have much of an impact."

Zhou Heng had already planned ahead: "The floating fortress that my fourth senior brother gave me, as a seventh-tier treasure, already had an expanded internal space, but it's not impossible to expand it further. As long as I upgrade it to an eighth-tier treasure, and then have my fourth senior brother's main beast, the Void Realm Heavenly Serpent, take action, we can definitely expand the internal space again."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng pressed on, "Father, how can we upgrade it to an eighth-grade treasure?"

Zhou Heng already had an idea: "This is easy."

After the other five beasts finished their meal, they shrank back to Zhou Heng's side.

Zhou Heng did not take them and the Devouring Star Kunpeng back to the Canglan Plane, but instead came to the Cold Moon Cave.

Inside the floating fortress, Jian Xu, Feng Zhong, and Feng Yong bowed down together.

Zhou Heng instructed, "Jian Xu, go and fetch Yun Jianhou of the Qiongqi Meng family, the dean of the Blacksmith Academy."

"Yes, sir." Jian Xu accepted the order and left.

Soon, Jian Xu brought Yun Jianhou of the Qiongqi Meng family to Zhou Heng.

Yun Jianhou of the Qiongqi Meng family bowed deeply: "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader. May I ask what brings you here?"

Zhou Heng cut to the chase: "I need your help with something."

Yun Jianhou of the Qiongqi Meng family became even more respectful: "Please give your orders, Young Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng looked up at the artificial starry sky above the interior of the floating fortress: "This floating fortress was a gift from my senior brother. It was originally a seventh-tier magic weapon, and its internal space has been expanded. However, now that my beast, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, has advanced to the sixth tier, its size has reached 1,000 kilometers. Although the internal space of this floating fortress is ten million square kilometers, its diameter from east to west is only a little over 3,000 kilometers. If my beast were to return to its normal size, it would be difficult for it to stretch its enormous body within this floating fortress. Therefore, I would like you to upgrade this floating fortress to an eighth-tier magic weapon and then expand its internal space further. Can you do that?"

After a moment's contemplation, Yun Jianhou of the Qiongqi Meng family spoke, "Young Alliance Leader, I am somewhat familiar with your seventh-tier treasure. It was forged by the Headmaster himself, using a large number of high-grade spiritual materials. It would have been more than enough to forge an eighth-tier treasure. However, because the Headmaster is a seventh-tier blacksmith, he didn't forge this floating fortress into an eighth-tier treasure. But as an eighth-tier blacksmith, I can upgrade this floating fortress to an eighth-tier treasure in no time. At that time, the internal space of this floating fortress will naturally expand. However, it will be difficult to expand too much, because I am not very proficient in the Dao of Space. To meet your requirements, I'm afraid we will still need the Headmaster's intervention, asking his main beast-taming eighth-tier Void Realm Heavenly Serpent to cooperate with me, so that the internal space of this floating fortress can expand more than tenfold."

Zhou Heng said directly, "That's easy, I'll go talk to my senior brother."

Yun Jianhou of the Qiongqi Meng family bowed again: "Thank you for your understanding, Young Alliance Leader."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng found his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, and told him about this, asking him to help Yun Jian Hou of the Qiongqi Meng family. Rong Tu Wang naturally agreed without hesitation.

Zhou Heng then returned to the floating fortress and carved out a space within the interior of the Gouchen Zhulong Amulet to store all the results of his research, including a large number of extraordinary creatures he had cultivated, the cultivation base containing core data, and various buildings that he felt did not need to be changed.

They basically emptied the entire interior of the floating fortress.

As for the seven original areas inside the floating fortress, there's no need to worry. After receiving Zhou Heng's order, Yun Jianhou of the Qiongqi Meng family quickly produced a plan report for refining the floating fortress, mentioning these seven areas. He planned to upgrade these seven areas during the refining process.

Zhou Heng was naturally pleased with this outcome.

Subsequently, Zhou Heng handed over the floating fortress to Yun Jianhou of the Qiongqi Meng family and his fourth senior brother Rongtu Wang, asking them to upgrade the floating fortress.

As for the three younger members of the Zhou family and Zhou Heng's three servants living in the floating fortress, Zhou Heng found his cousin Yu Ming, who was a lecturer at Han Yue University, and arranged for them to stay at Yu Ming's experimental base.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yu Ming's cousin stopped Zhou Heng and exclaimed, "Cousin, I never expected you to advance to a sixth-level Commander Beastmaster so quickly. It's truly an eye-opener for me."

Zhou Heng subtly sized up his cousin Yu Ming: "Cousin, your aura seems stronger than before. Your strength must have increased recently, right?"
