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

Then, Zhou Heng turned his attention to Xu Weiran and Chen Qingshan, and found that the two looked younger than when Zhou Heng was in high school: "Teacher Xu and Teacher Chen are also very good. It's been a few years since I last saw them, and now they are fifth-level battle generals and beast tamers."

Chen Qingshan and Xu Weiran are both over seventy years old this year. Previously, because a fourth-level Grandmaster Beast Tamer only had a lifespan of one hundred and fifty years, the two of them always looked like middle-aged people in their forties. Now that they have been promoted to fifth-level War General Beast Tamers, they have a lifespan of one hundred and eighty years, and have become a little younger.

Chen Qingshan bowed deeply: "Thanks to the blessing of the young alliance leader, our main beast tamers were able to advance to the fifth rank several months ago."

This is indeed due to Zhou Heng's influence. One reason is the resources he bestowed upon them, and the other is that Zhou Heng made a contract with the Fortune Qilin King. As teachers who had taught Zhou Heng, they naturally received a certain degree of protection from his fortune.

Although they were unsure of the Fortune Qilin King's abilities, Zhou Heng provided them with substantial resources, for which they were extremely grateful.

Xu Weiran bowed deeply and said, "We are able to become fifth-tier warrior beast tamers thanks to the grace of our little alliance leader! The little alliance leader's kindness is boundless; without him, we would not be where we are today."

Zhou Heng raised his hand to help her up, saying, "Teacher Chen, Teacher Xu, you don't need to be so polite. Please get up."

Chen Qingshan and Xu Weiran bowed again before standing up: "Thank you, Young Alliance Leader."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng chatted with Li's parents for a few minutes. Since they had a good relationship with Zhou's parents, Zhou Heng had someone take them to Zhou's parents' place so they could catch up with them.

The rest of the guests were taken care of by the Zhou family steward, so Zhou Heng didn't have to worry about anything.

Several days later, Zhou Heng suddenly said, "Junior Nephew Tianyin, Junior Nephew Qianren, I have something to entrust to you."

Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren immediately replied, "Please give your instructions, Junior Uncle."

Zhou Heng ordered, "Go back to Weilin Ancient Star and bring Alang and Senior Yixuan over. They are interning in Weidu, and I don't want them to miss my birthday celebration."

The two replied in unison, "Yes, sir."

That afternoon, Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren brought Li Lang and Gu Yixuan to Zhou Heng.

Gu Yixuan bowed first: "Congratulations, Little Alliance Leader, on your successful promotion to a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster."

Zhou Heng used the Titan Lord's skill to glance at Gu Yixuan: "Senior Yixuan, you're too kind. You're quite good too. You've already cultivated the Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion to the fourth tier, seventh level."

Gu Yixuan flattered, "Young Alliance Leader, you truly have discerning eyes."

As a beast tamer who has awakened an S-level talent and contracted a high-level diamond-quality beast, Gu Yixuan is about to graduate with a master's degree this year. Being able to cultivate a beast to the late stage of the fourth tier is quite special.

Because Gu Yixuan's family is not related to any aristocratic families, but is just a small wealthy family, his current achievements are all due to his top-level beast taming talent and the special effect of rapid growth, which can accelerate the breakthrough of beast taming levels to a certain extent.

Li Lang wasn't as reserved in front of Zhou Heng as he was with Gu Yixuan. He stepped forward and examined the six shrunken beasts beside Zhou Heng, lingering especially on the Star-Devouring Kunpeng: "Ah Heng, you're amazing! While we were doing our internships outside, you quietly advanced to a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster! We returned to Hanyue University as soon as we saw the announcement to congratulate you in person, but you weren't there, so we waited for you at the university for a few days."

Zhou Heng was clearly closer to Li Lang: "Are you just going to wait here? Why didn't you have Elder Li bring you over directly?"

Li Lang sat down directly next to Zhou Heng: "Because we know you will definitely send someone to pick us up, there is no need to trouble Elder Li. Besides, even if you don't send someone to pick us up, Elder Li will definitely attend your birthday banquet, and we can come with him then."

Zhou Heng checked Li Lang's level. Among the three beasts Li Lang had contracted, the low-level diamond-quality Frost Bear King was his initial beast. It was still at the third tier, tenth level, but it was not far from the fourth tier.

The second-tier diamond-quality beast, the Hexagonal Flying Dragon King, has reached the third tier, ninth level, while the third-tier diamond-quality beast, the Thunderous Wave Turtle, has reached the third tier, sixth level.

With his senior year drawing to a close, Li Lang, possessing an A-level talent and receiving resource support from Zhou Heng, had managed to raise his three beast tamers to this level, which was considered quite respectable.

Zhou Heng said, "Ah Lang, Senior Yi Xuan, you can stay on Ruilin Island for the next few days. I'll have someone send you back after my birthday."

Gu Yixuan immediately replied, "I will leave it to the young alliance leader to arrange."

Li Lang asked curiously, "Now that you've advanced to a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster, why don't you hold a celebration?"

Zhou Heng smiled calmly: "He's just a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster. For a large family, there's no need to hold a celebration."

The gap between Li Lang and Zhou Heng was too great, and it was hard for Li Lang to understand Zhou Heng's actions: "You speak too lightly. A sixth-level commander beast tamer is an extraordinary figure on Xuanxiao Star. Even at Hanyue University, he would be a lecturer. How can you say he is so insignificant?"

Zhou Heng patiently explained, "A sixth-tier commander-level beast tamer is indeed considered strong in the Eastern Alliance, but many things are relative. Therefore, in the eyes of large families, those below the seventh-tier feudal lord level beast tamer are not considered truly accomplished."

Li Lang greatly admired Zhou Heng: "You are truly different. You are the youngest sixth-tier commander-level beast tamer in history, and you have contracted the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, making your combat power far exceed your current level. How can ordinary sixth-tier commander-level beast tamers compare to you?"

Zhou Heng rolled his eyes at Li Lang: "Don't flatter me."

"I'm not trying to flatter you. Someone like me, even if I work hard my whole life, will at most become a sixth-tier commander beast tamer."

Li Lang's face showed no self-pity, but rather an extremely frank and insightful expression: "Unlike you, who became a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster in your twenties. For others, becoming a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster is the end, but for you, it's just a small part of the scenery on your life's journey."

Zhou Heng said earnestly, "You're not far from becoming a fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer. Strive to advance to the fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer before the end of your senior year, and your future will be promising."

Li Lang shrugged, a cynical smirk on his face: "What promising future? Five or six years ago I was a third-tier elite beast tamer, and I'm still a third-tier elite beast tamer now. Don't even mention comparing myself to you, I can't even compare to Senior Yixuan."

Zhou Heng then said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Jing Qi, Xu Chen, Principal Wan, and Teacher Zhang have also arrived. I'll have someone take you to meet them."

Li Lang was overjoyed: "Great! I haven't seen them in so long!"

Gu Yixuan also showed a look of joy.
