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

Zhou Heng, using the powerful Titan Lord skill "Insightful Observation," scanned Yan Haosen and the others and discovered that Yan Haosen and Ling Yisheng, who were the same age as him, had their main beasts, which were of lower-level overlord quality, at the fourth tier, sixth level. Meanwhile, Qiao Xinrui and Wei Qingwen had their main beasts, which were of higher-level diamond quality, at the fourth tier, fourth level.

As for Yue Wujiu, he was two grades higher than Zhou Heng, and his main beast was also of lower-level overlord quality, reaching the fourth rank, eighth level.

All five of them possess S-level talent, so their speed is quite impressive.

After all, they all come from prestigious families, and ordinary beast tamers from humble backgrounds cannot compare to them.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Haosen, Yisheng, you've made quite a bit of progress without making a sound! Your main beasts, the Black Flame Nether Phoenix and the Crystal Rock Black Tortoise, are not far from the seventh level of the fourth tier. Perhaps you can cultivate them to the seventh level of the fourth tier before the end of your senior year."

Ling Yisheng said modestly, "The difference between the sixth level of the fourth rank and the seventh level of the fourth rank is the difference between the middle and late stages of the fourth rank. It will take some effort for us to advance to the seventh level of the fourth rank."

Yan Haosen flattered Zhou Heng from every angle: "Yes, Little Alliance Leader, we can't compare to you. For a peerless genius like you, advancing in rank is as easy as eating and drinking, but for us, it's a completely different story."

Just then, the steward came to report that Du Si'an, who was working as a teaching assistant at Yao Ri University, and Yun Quege, who was about to graduate with a doctorate this year, had brought Wang Xuchen and Shi Jingqi, friends that Zhou Heng had met in high school, to Ruilin Island to see Zhou Heng.

Du Si'an possesses SS-level talent, which, while not as high as Zhou Heng's, is still extraordinary. Yun Quege, on the other hand, comes from the Qilin Yun family, and Zhou Heng had a rather good impression of him during the previous competition for a spot in the Wangshu Secret Realm.

After the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, Wang Xuchen and Shi Jingqi went to study at Yaori University on Tianqian Ancient Star. Apart from meeting once before, Zhou Heng had not seen them for a long time. He did not expect them to come this time as well.

Therefore, Zhou Heng immediately instructed the steward to welcome the four people into the Ruilin Hall.

The four bowed in unison: "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader!"

Zhou Heng's face lit up with joy: "Xu Chen, Jing Qi, you've finally arrived! It's been so long since we last saw each other."

Wang Xuchen was still dressed in women's clothing, and his voice was even softer than before: "We also miss you very much, but the ancient stars of Tianqian, Yuanli, and Weilin are too far apart. If we don't have a powerful expert to take us to see you, it will be extremely difficult."

Their strength is insufficient to traverse interstellar space in a short period of time.

As for riding a starship, it's not that easy either, because high-level starships are controlled by skilled beast tamers, and using one requires a lot of crystal cores.

This is why each Beast Taming University sends its strongest members to various planets to personally pick up the freshmen at the start of the semester.

Shi Jingqi was as honest as ever: "This time, we owe a lot to Assistant Professor Du and Senior Yun. If they hadn't brought us here, we might have had to wait until our birthday in more than half a month to meet you with our professors."

Zhou Heng turned his gaze to Du Si'an: "Brother Du, how did you get to know my two friends?"

Du Si'an quickly explained, "I found out by chance. Very few people from Xuanxiao Star get into Yaori University each year. Since you studied on Xuanxiao Star before, I found out about your relationship with them with a little research. It wasn't that I investigated you on purpose. You're a teaching assistant at Yaori University now, and you happen to be in charge of managing files. I found out by accident."

Zhou Heng waved his hand casually: "Brother Du, there's no need to worry about it. These are just minor details and not important."

Zhou Heng didn't care whether Du Si'an was lying or not, because he already knew the principle that "if the water is too clear, there will be no fish" from his previous life.

Moreover, his friendship with Wang Xuchen and Shi Jingqi was already public knowledge.

Previously, Wang Xuchen and Shi Jingqi had come to the Canglan Plane once with a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer from Yaori University.

After catching up, Du Si'an, Yun Quege, Wang Xuchen, and Shi Jingqi also sat down below Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng asked, "Brother Du, it's been a long time. Why didn't you come with the people from Yao Ri University when the Wangshu Secret Realm opened?"

Du Si'an smiled and said, "Of course I wanted to come, but the school didn't arrange for me to come, so I had to follow the school's arrangements. This time, I received an announcement from the Alliance that you had become the youngest sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster in history, so I specially asked the school for leave and came to congratulate you."

Zhou Heng jokingly asked, "Since you're congratulating me, have you prepared a gift?"

Du Si'an took it seriously: "Of course it's prepared."

Zhou Heng immediately replied, "I was just saying it casually, Brother Du, you're too kind."

Du Si'an waved his hand and took out a brocade box, presenting it to Zhou Heng: "It's a small gift but carries great sentiment. Please don't find it offensive, Little Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng took the brocade box and found that it contained a sixth-tier spiritual item: "Then I'll accept it, thank you Brother Du."

Upon seeing Zhou Heng and accepting the gift, Du Si'an looked honored: "It is my honor that you have the graciousness to accept my congratulatory gift."

Du Si'an was much more respectful than before, which Zhou Heng appreciated: "Brother Du's words are too distant."

Immediately afterwards, Yun Quege, Wang Xuchen, and Shi Jingqi each presented a gift to congratulate Zhou Heng on his advancement to a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster.

Seeing this, Yan Haosen and the others also took out a large number of treasures.

Ling Yisheng took out a bunch of fifth-tier rare and precious materials: "I was having such a good time chatting with the little alliance leader that I forgot to bring out the gifts we prepared for him."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "You're here, why did you bring so much stuff?"

Although he didn't care about these ordinary rare and precious materials, it proved how these people treated him.

Yan Haosen's posture was extremely humble: "We know that you, Little Alliance Leader, would not care about these things we have, but they are all our sincere wishes, please accept them."

Seeing this, Zhou Heng could only put all the congratulatory gifts from everyone into his storage watch.

Taking the opportunity, Yun Quege flattered Zhou Heng: "I remember the last person to advance to the sixth-level Commander Beastmaster before the age of thirty was the current Supreme Alliance Leader. The Young Alliance Leader advanced three years earlier than the Supreme Alliance Leader. The Young Alliance Leader's talent is simply indescribable."

Although Lei Xiaowang of the Qilin Yun family also has SSS-level talent, he came from a poor family and lacked some resources. Furthermore, his main beast was initially only of lower-level mythical quality and only later evolved to mid-level mythical quality. Therefore, his growth rate was inevitably slower when he was young.

Therefore, Lingxiao King of the Qilin Yun family only advanced to the sixth-level commander beast tamer at the age of thirty-one, which is not comparable to Zhou Heng and Xuan Chen Supreme.
