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

Zhou Heng paused for a moment, then suddenly said to Tianyin Hou and Qianren Hou, "My two junior disciples, my combat strength is no weaker than yours, and is even much stronger than yours. From now on, you don't need to follow me and protect me every moment."

Marquis Qianren and Marquis Tianyin's expressions changed: "But we..."

They knew that Zhou Heng was being conservative; his combat strength was already comparable to theirs when he was a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer. Moreover, Zhou Heng had already become a sixth-tier commander beast tamer, so he no longer needed them.

But they really need Zhou Heng.

Everyone knows Zhou Heng's strength and talent. If they can get close to Zhou Heng, it will bring them unimaginable benefits in the future.

However, if they fail to cling to Zhou Heng's coattails and simply slink back to the Xuanwu Ling family, the outcome is self-evident.

Zhou Heng changed the subject, his tone softening considerably: "I understand, this was originally a task assigned to you by your master. But since your master told you to follow me, shouldn't you just obey me?"

Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren were filled with trepidation: "You are our elder, so naturally we should listen to you."

Zhou Heng immediately said, "Then do as I say. Although you two won't have to follow me around all the time anymore, I'll still need your help in many situations. So don't worry, I won't send you back."

Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Junior Uncle."

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Heng summoned a large quantity of seventh-tier resources and a small amount of eighth-tier resources before Tianyin Hou and Qianren Hou: "Some of these resources can help your main tamed beasts quickly increase their strength, while the rest can help your tamed beasts, the Light Dragon and the Dark Dragon, evolve from lower-level overlord quality to mid-level overlord quality, becoming the Holy Light Dragon and the Shadow Dragon. I believe you have collected quite a few resources over the years, which, when combined, will definitely help your tamed beasts perform several evolution rituals."

Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren's eyes lit up, but they didn't lose their composure, so they repeatedly declined, saying, "These things are too valuable! So many seventh- and eighth-tier resources, we..."

Zhou Heng adopted the air of an elder: "Resources of the seventh rank and above are indeed quite precious, but you've been by my side for so long, working diligently all this time, I can't not reward you. Besides, your improved strength also benefits me, so please accept these resources without worry. If you want to repay me, you must first focus on becoming stronger, understand?"

Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren were deeply moved: "Junior Uncle, we understand what you mean. Please rest assured, we will definitely not let you down."

Zhou Heng then asked, "When do you plan to initiate the evolution ritual for your tamed beasts?"

Marquis Qianren and Marquis Tianyin exchanged a glance and said, "When you come back this summer, we'll be in the Canglan Plane to begin the evolution ritual for our tamed beasts. If it succeeds, great; if not, we'll find another opportunity. Anyway, we've performed several evolution rituals for our tamed beasts over the years, and sometimes success really depends on luck."

……

After Li Lang and Gu Yixuan returned to Hanyue University with Zhou Heng, since they only had a little over a month left before graduation, they did not continue their internships but stayed at the school to prepare for graduation procedures.

The graduation requirement of Hanyue University is to cultivate the main beast to the fourth level of the fourth tier before graduation. Gu Yixuan's Heavenly Fire Demon Flame Scorpion has already reached the seventh level of the fourth tier, so he can naturally get his graduation certificate smoothly, and it is a postgraduate degree certificate.

As for Li Lang, his Frost Bear King is only at the third level, tenth stage, so he can't get a bachelor's degree; he can only get a certificate of completion.

But getting a certificate of completion is more than enough, because college students in this era are different from those more than 6,000 years ago.

More than 6,000 years ago, college students were too common, but in this era, the number of college students is too small. Even if you only get a certificate of completion, you will be considered to be among the elite.

Moreover, only a small number of college students could obtain a graduation certificate from the Beast Taming University each year; instead, a certificate of completion became the norm.

However, Zhou Heng still wanted to help Li Lang. Although he couldn't help the Frost Bear King advance to the mid-stage of the fourth rank all at once, he was still somewhat confident that he could help the Frost Bear King advance from the peak of the third rank to the early stage of the fourth rank.

In this way, after Li Lang returned to Xuanxiao Star, he could directly enter the upper echelons of the government office by virtue of Zhou Heng's influence and his status as a fourth-level Grandmaster Beast Tamer.

Zhou Heng immediately took out a large number of spiritual items and handed them to the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix. He then instructed the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix to use the Five Virtues Divine Light to transform all of these spiritual items into fifth-tier potions that could enhance the strength of beast tamers. Afterward, he sent someone to invite the dean of the Alchemist Academy.

Soon, Jian Xu brought the person over.

The current dean of the Pharmacist Academy at Hanyue University comes from the Yan family of Huofeng and is related to Yan Haosen by blood. She is both a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer and an eighth-level pharmacist, known as the Marquis of Shanyi. She appears to be a middle-aged woman, wearing a white coat. Apart from the green storage bracelet on her wrist, she has no other accessories and looks very capable.

Shan Yihou of the Yan family of Huofeng bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng got straight to the point, taking out a black communicator: "Dean Yan, the reason I called you here today is to ask you to customize a potion for my friend so that his beast can advance to the fourth rank as soon as possible. My friend's beast data is in this communicator; you can check it yourself after opening it."

The black communicator contained information about the Frost Bear King, which Zhou Heng had recorded when he used the Titan Lord's powerful skill, Keen Insight, to scan the Frost Bear King.

Shan Yihou of the Yan family of Fire Phoenix took the black communicator and carefully checked the relevant information: "A third-tier, tenth-level lower-level diamond beast of the ice type is not far from the fourth tier. It is not difficult to make it advance to the fourth tier quickly. Give me a day, Little Alliance Leader, and I will definitely deliver the custom-made potion to you."

Zhou Heng specifically asked, "Is one day enough?"

Shan Yihou of the Yan family of Huofeng was very confident: "Absolutely no problem. To be frank, as an eighth-level alchemist, it would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for a third-level, tenth-level beast.

Zhou Heng nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."

Shan Yihou of the Yan family of Huofeng said with utmost respect: "Young Alliance Leader, you are too kind. It is my honor to serve you."

A day later, Shan Yihou of the Yan family of Huofeng personally delivered a bottle of blue potion.

Zhou Heng immediately took the medicine to his cousin Yu Ming's experimental base.

Li Lang was nominally Yu Ming's cousin's student, so he always stayed with Yu Ming.
