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

Time quickly passed to late May, approaching Zhou Heng's birthday.

More people Zhou Heng knew also came to the Canglan Plane, such as Pang Jie, Gao Wenwu, He Hongmei, Ji Chao, Wu Liu, Xiao Luo, Zhang Yunfeng, Li Shiliang, Pei Ge, Nangong Cuiyi, Yan Shouzheng, Zou Lei, and Fang Yushu.

Those who are still in university came with their university professors, while those who didn't come came with their elders.

Zhou Heng also met with them and they caught up.

Among these people, apart from Fang Yushu, who was a year older than Zhou Heng, had awakened an A-level talent, contracted a low-level diamond-quality Radiant Butterfly, and had already graduated from university, reaching the fourth rank, first level, the rest were only third-rank elite beast tamers, and none of their beasts had advanced to the fourth rank.

Facing Zhou Heng, who had become a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster, everyone felt both awe and admiration, lamenting that the gap between them was now as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

……

Time quickly came to May 22nd, Zhou Heng's birthday.

After today, Zhou Heng will turn twenty-five.

Several days in advance, the Canglan Plane was already in an uproar.

Because the Zhou family of Shenlong had announced in advance that they would hold a grand birthday celebration for Zhou Heng, all the powerful figures from various aristocratic families arrived on time for the banquet.

Needless to say, those below the seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer are all present, as are the seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers and the eighth-tier monarch beast tamers.

Of the ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamers, only the Demon Slayer Emperor, who publicly claimed to be in seclusion, and the Qingyang Society's patriarch, the Miro Emperor, did not attend.

Emperor Cangwu, Emperor Xuepo, and Emperor Minghui have all arrived.

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang and Yun Jianhou of the Qiongqi Meng family also did not come, because they were upgrading Zhou Heng's floating fortress and could not get away for a moment.

Many powerful figures gathered on Ruilin Island, and the banquet began precisely at the appointed time.

During this time, Zhou Heng did not forget his six tamed beasts.

He prepared a large amount of food in advance to suit the tastes of the six beasts, so that the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, the Netherworld Demon Dragon, the Returning Void Divine Dragon, the Lucky Qilin King, and the Titan Lord could also feast and drink to their hearts' content.

Of course, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng didn't eat anything.

It had previously swallowed a huge planet, which provided a lot of energy after being refined. Now it had no appetite at all, so it was just going through the motions with the other five beast tamers.

Accompanied by cheerful music, a birthday cake, piled high with various carefully arranged spiritual fruits and flowers and adorned with twenty-five colorful candles, standing 108 meters tall, was pushed into the center of the room. Everyone read birthday wishes and presented birthday gifts.

Among the ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamers, Emperor Cangwu's gift was the most precious, being a top-grade ninth-tier spiritual treasure.

Among the eighth-tier king-level beast tamers, Li Xiang and Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family put the most thought into their gifts. One gave twenty-five bottles of seventh-tier top-grade potions, and the other gave an eighth-tier low-grade treasure.

Among the seventh-tier feudal lords and beast tamers, the most special gift came from Zhou Heng's grand-nephew, Marquis Longyuan, who presented ten top-grade seventh-tier spiritual treasures.

Below them, apart from some people with special status who were old friends of Zhou Heng, they couldn't directly hand their gifts to him, and Zhou Heng didn't pay much attention to them.

Zhou Heng received a large number of congratulatory gifts, and the smile on his face never faded as he listened to everyone's blessings.

He raised his wine glass, intending to toast everyone, when a tall, middle-aged figure wearing a black cloak with a miniature Xuanwu perched on his shoulder suddenly appeared before them without anyone noticing.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then quickly put down their wine cups and chopsticks, stood up and bowed: "Greetings, Supreme Alliance Leader!"

The Supreme Emperor Xuan Chen's expression was calm, his authority tempered with kindness: "No need for formalities."

Everyone said in unison, "Thank you, Supreme Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng immediately stood up from his seat and rushed towards Xuan Chen Supreme, his face full of surprise: "Master, what brings you here?"

Xuan Chen Supreme's eyes were full of affection. He patted Zhou Heng's arm and said gently, "Heng'er, today is your birthday, of course your master must come."

Zhou Heng was deeply moved: "I am the junior, how could I trouble you on my birthday?"

Xuan Chen Supreme's expression grew even more benevolent: "If it were an ordinary birthday, your master would naturally not come, but this time it happens to be your twenty-fifth birthday, so it would be inappropriate for your master not to come."

Normally, a master wouldn't need to attend a disciple's birthday celebration, even if it's a round number birthday.

In particular, Xuan Chen Supreme is a tenth-order Supreme Beast Tamer, standing at the pinnacle of the universe, making his status even more unique.

But Supreme Xuan Chen still came.

The reason he gave Zhou Heng such exceptional treatment was mainly because he had previously discovered Zhou Heng's special qualities, so he did not really treat Zhou Heng as an ordinary junior.

The rest of the people, except for the Thousand-Faced King, were unaware of the inside story, but they did not suspect anything.

After all, Zhou Heng's second talent is SSS level, and among all the SSS level talent awakeners in history, Zhou Heng is the most outstanding. He was promoted to a sixth-level commander beast tamer before he was twenty-five years old.

In their view, it was normal for Xuan Chen Supreme to dote on Zhou Heng so much.

Honestly, if they had such an outstanding disciple as Zhou Heng, they would definitely be extremely attentive to him as well.

Zhou Heng immediately invited Xuan Chen Supreme to the main seat, and he sat down beside him. The rest of the people then took their seats.

The banquet then continued.

Xuan Chen Supreme also prepared a gift for Zhou Heng, but it wasn't just one gift; it was a whole bunch of gifts, including rare and precious items, magical artifacts, and medicines.

Zhou Heng accepted them all without hesitation.

Zhou Heng's birthday party lasted for three whole days.

After the banquet ended and the Supreme Xuan Chen departed, the many guests took their leave one after another.

The following days were a few days of relative calm.

Not long after, the people from the Three Societies also arrived in the Canglan Plane. This group was represented by the Supreme Protector King Zizai of the Qingyang Society.

Zhou Heng received them in the Ruilin Hall.

The Supreme Protector of the Qingyang Society, Zizai Wang, used his silver tongue to fawn over Zhou Heng: "Although Young Alliance Leader may be tired of hearing this these days, I still have to say it. Young Alliance Leader, you are truly a prodigy, a hero indeed! You've advanced to a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster at such a young age, it's truly enviable. Without boasting, my awakened talent is SS-level, and I considered myself the best among my peers in the Qingyang Society. I also received the full support of the Qingyang Society, but when I advanced to a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster, I was already thirty-eight years old. I'm completely incomparable to Young Alliance Leader!"

Zhou Heng sat upright on the throne, with six shrunken beasts accompanying him.

He gave the King of Freedom a hearty smile: "To be able to advance to a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster at the age of thirty-eight, the Supreme Protector is no ordinary person!"
