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

Zhou Heng took out two magical artifacts and used his spiritual power to send them to Ji Chao and Wu Liu: "I won't be attending your wedding. Consider these two fifth-tier magical artifacts as my wedding gift."

Ji Chao and Wu Liu accepted the two treasures, bowed down together, and said in unison, "We thank you for your grace, our lord."

Zhou Heng's gaze swept over Ji Chao, and all of Ji Chao's information appeared before Zhou Heng's eyes: "Not bad, your Crystal Mammoth has finally evolved into a Diamond Mammoth."

The Crystal Mammoth is only of superior gold quality, while the Diamond Mammoth is of inferior diamond quality.

Ji Chao, his face full of flattery, said, "Nothing can be hidden from your discerning eyes. I did indeed successfully evolve my initial beast to diamond quality last month. This is mainly thanks to the large amount of rare and precious materials you bestowed upon me, as well as your protection. Otherwise, I would never have been able to evolve it to diamond quality so quickly."

Zhou Heng casually asked, "How many times did you fail before you finally succeeded?"

Ji Chao replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, we failed six times in total, and succeeded on the seventh attempt."

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Now, besides the Diamond Mammoth, you also have the Molten Dragon Lizard, one low-grade Diamond and one mid-grade Diamond. Having two Diamond-quality beasts is quite good for someone with your B-grade talent."

Ji Chao became even more respectful: "The Diamond Elephant evolved successfully thanks to the spiritual creatures bestowed upon it by the Lord, and the Molten Dragon Lizard was directly bestowed upon me by the Lord. All of this is the Lord's grace, and I will never forget it."

Zhou Heng was very satisfied: "It's good that you know."

Ji Chao kowtowed deeply to Zhou Heng: "Your Majesty's kindness to me is something I will never forget!"

Ji Chao and Wu Liu both possess B-level talents. Ji Chao is the same age as Zhou Heng, only twenty-five years old this year. His Diamond Giant Elephant level has reached the third tier, ninth level, while the Molten Dragon Lizard level has reached the third tier, fifth level.

Such a speed is among the fastest advancements in B-grade talents.

The main reason is that after Ji Chao joined Zhou Heng, he became very well-off in terms of resources. In addition, Zhou Heng had previously had the Titan Lord use the Blood Oath Contract to enhance Ji Chao's Beast Taming ability. The combination of these two factors made Ji Chao's growth rate almost approach that of an ordinary A-level talent.

However, later on, Ji Chao's growth rate will slow down, becoming similar to that of an ordinary B-level talent.

However, his future achievements will definitely be much stronger than those of ordinary B-level talents, because even the smallest remnant that slips through Zhou Heng's fingers is an unimaginable treasure to Ji Chao.

This is why Ji Chao is so loyal to Zhou Heng and is so willing to go all out.

As for Ji Chao's fiancée Wu Liu, she is already in her thirties. Her main beast is a low-grade diamond-quality unicorn snake, which has just been promoted to the fourth tier, first level.

This speed isn't slow either.

As was customary, Zhou Heng asked, "What direction do you plan to take in the future? Do you want to enter the government or inherit the family business?"

Ji Chao raised his head, his eyes filled with fanaticism: "None of us want that; we want to follow our lord forever and serve him!"

Zhou Heng was quite surprised by this answer: "Have you thought it through? Back on Xuanxiao Star, with your status, you'll be like local emperors."

Ji Chao's tone was extremely firm: "We've made up our minds. Being able to stay by our lord's side is our greatest honor!"

Zhou Heng was naturally willing to grant Ji Chao's request: "I happen to need two more helpers, so you can stay here! However, since you're not married yet, I'll give you two months off to get married, and you can come back together in September."

Ji Chao and Wu Liu said in unison, "We thank the Lord for His grace!"

……

Outside the Heavenly Fortress, Wu Liu's brow shone with a blue light, and she summoned a red Bashe snake, over a hundred meters long with a single horn on its head, from her Beast Taming Space. She then flew with Ji Chao to the top of the horned Bashe snake's head.

Then, the unicorn serpent took to the air, carrying Ji Chao and Wu Liu towards the entrance of the Cold Moon Cave.

Wu Liu leaned against Ji Chao, her brows furrowed slightly: "Husband, do we really have to keep doing menial work for the Lord? Actually, according to what the Lord said, if we return to Xuanxiao Star, with the Wu family and the Ji family backing us up, life will probably be much more comfortable."

Ji Chao said righteously, "You only think about living off the family's wealth, but you haven't thought about how to make the family more prosperous! Back on Xuanxiao Star, with our relationship with the Lord, we can indeed use his influence and raise a banner, plus the power of the Wu and Ji families, so for a short time, at least for our generation, we can certainly live very comfortably. But have you thought about the future? Have you thought about our descendants?"

Wu Liu looked conflicted: "Will following the Lord bring benefits to future generations?"

Ji Chao had long regarded Zhou Heng as a god-like being: "Our lord is most sentimental. As long as we serve him diligently, our strength will definitely grow faster than if we left him. Moreover, as long as our lord sees our goodness, even after we pass away, he will surely continue to protect our descendants. With his talent, he will live a very long time. With his protection, how far will our family develop after hundreds or thousands of years of accumulation? Have you thought about that?"

Wu Liu readily agreed, saying, "Husband, I understand! I'll do whatever you say as long as it benefits the family."

Ji Chao took Wu Liu's hand, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Let's hurry back and prepare for the wedding. We can get married as soon as possible so we can come back to serve our master sooner."

Wu Liuqin nodded slightly: "Okay."

……

Time flew by and it was mid-July. Most students received their completion certificates, while a small number received their graduation certificates.

After taking the group photo, most of them, except for a few, boarded starships to return to their respective hometowns, and were personally escorted back by people specially arranged by Hanyue University.

Li Lang and Gu Yixuan also reported to their respective units and became senior executives in their units.

Zhou Heng, due to his talent, was naturally recommended for postgraduate studies.

Anyone with an S-level or higher talent can be directly recommended for postgraduate studies.

Yan Haosen, Ling Yisheng, Wei Qingwen, Qiao Xinrui, Wang Xuchen, and Shi Jingqi, among others, were all admitted to graduate programs through the recommendation system.

With summer vacation approaching, Zhou Heng is preparing to return to the Canglan Plane with his parents, son, and others. He plans to come back when the graduate school starts next semester.

He called Jian Xu, Feng Zhong, and Feng Yong over.

Zhou Heng said to Jian Xu, "I'm temporarily handing over control of the Heavenly Craft Fortress to you. Take good care of all the extraordinary creatures I've cultivated in the Heavenly Craft Space."

Jian Xu bowed and accepted the order: "I will obey Your Majesty's command."

Zhou Heng then said, "Elder Zhong and Elder Yong, come back to the Canglan Plane with me."

Feng Zhong and Feng Yong bowed their heads and said, "Yes."
