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

The old patriarch Zhou put his arm around Zhou Heng's shoulder, feeling very gratified: "Heng'er, the dimensional spirits transformed from the Creation Ancestor and the Yanqing Ancestor both said that you can lead the family to the peak. Now it seems that our Divine Dragon Zhou family and Golden Crow Li family will not only produce a tenth-order supreme beast tamer in the future, but may also produce a chaos cultivator."

Old Madam Zhou gazed tenderly at Zhou Heng, her expression excited: "A tenth-tier supreme beast tamer is already an invincible force. Combined with his identity as a Chaos Breeder, it's unimaginable how prosperous and powerful the Zhou and Li families will become in the future!"

Zhou Heng grasped the hands of the Zhou family patriarch and matriarch, and said firmly, "Grandpa and Grandma, you will definitely be able to witness this day."

The Zhou family patriarch and matriarch exchanged a smile: "Thank you for your kind words. I hope we can really see that day."

The eldest uncle, a very honest man, couldn't help but exclaim, "Heng'er, you've worked so hard! With such talent, and yet you work so hard, no wonder you've grown so quickly."

Zhou Heng casually said, "Actually, I didn't try very hard; everything just happened naturally."

Uncle Shi teased from the side, "If you hadn't worked hard, how could you have become a mid-level diamond-level cultivator so quickly?"

Zhou Heng spoke frankly: "I was born with good aptitude."

Fourth Uncle stepped forward and said, "Let's not talk about that now. I've already had a banquet prepared! Heng'er, you can't refuse today."

Zhou Heng nodded slightly: "I will do whatever Fourth Uncle says."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng followed a group of close relatives to the banquet venue, where even more relatives were waiting. They had also learned from their fourth uncle that Zhou Heng had been promoted to a mid-level diamond nurturer, and they all admired Zhou Heng immensely.

Everyone couldn't help but step forward to toast Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng had experienced many such scenes of being the center of attention, so he seemed quite at ease and well-mannered when facing a group of enthusiastic relatives.

After the banquet, the other relatives left one after another, leaving only a few close relatives behind.

Zhou Heng waved his hand and took out a golden rhombus-shaped crystal, handing it to his fourth uncle: "This contains the evolution ritual related to the Flowing Cloud Fish-Dragon. Don't we still have the Golden Scale Fish-Dragon that I left behind in the family? You can try it out and evolve the Golden Scale Fish-Dragon in the family into the Flowing Cloud Fish-Dragon. Some of the younger generation in the family also have contracted Golden Scale Fish-Dragons. When their Golden Scale Fish-Dragons advance to the fourth rank in the future, they can also have them start the evolution ritual to evolve them into Flowing Cloud Fish-Dragons."

Fourth Uncle put away the golden rhombus-shaped crystal: "I understand. I will have my subordinates do as instructed."

The next day, Zhou Heng went to the Yan Yang Plane again, met his maternal grandparents and several uncles, and gave them a copy of the evolution ritual of the Flowing Cloud Fish Dragon.

Zhou Heng also paid a visit from afar to Linglong Ancestor, who was initiating the evolution ceremony for the main beast, the Sky-Patrolling Golden Crow, as well as Wanbao Ancestor, who was guarding the side.

Linglong Ancestor has been initiating the evolution ritual for the Sky-Patrolling Golden Crow for some time now. Judging from Zhou Heng's perspective, Linglong Ancestor is likely to fail this time, just like Wanbao Ancestor before her.

However, this was, after all, the first time that Ancestor Linglong had initiated an evolution ritual for the Sky-Patrolling Golden Crow. It wasn't a big deal that it failed; they could just try again later.

……

Before we knew it, it was Lunar New Year. The Canglan world had already been decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a joyous and festive atmosphere.

As in previous years, Zhou Heng presided over all the key ceremonies, including ancestor worship, and no clansman disobeyed. All the clansmen genuinely recognized Zhou Heng's status.

In some ways, Zhou Heng is now even more powerful than Wanbao Patriarch in the Zhou family of Shenlong.

A few days after the Lunar New Year, it was February 20th.

This day was very special for Zhou Heng because it was his son Zhou Hongzheng's birthday.

This year, Zhou Hongzheng turned four years old. Zhou Heng, his parents, and Zhou Hongzheng decided to give him a proper birthday celebration.

So they decorated Ruilin Island, and Zhou Heng even personally made a four-tiered colorful birthday cake for Zhou Hongzheng.

Inside a bright hall of the Ruilin Palace, Zhou Hong was wearing a brand-new red robe embroidered with a qilin pattern. In front of him was a pile of food that would appeal to children, and his parents sat beside him.

Zhou Hongzheng held a spoon in his hand, playing with it casually: "Grandpa, Grandma, where's Dad? Where did Dad go?"

Mr. Zhou's expression was extremely gentle: "Your father has gone to prepare a surprise for you."

Zhou Hongzheng's eyes lit up: "What surprise?"

Zhou's mother patted Zhou Hongzheng's head: "A surprise is something you can't tell others about!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Heng walked in, carrying a gift box in his hand, followed by six shrunken beasts, one of which, the Lucky Qilin King, was carrying a huge cake on its back.

Zhou Hongzheng immediately stood up, cheering excitedly, "Dad!"

Zhou Heng stepped forward, placed the gift box on the table, and then took out a small golden crown and put it on Zhou Hongzheng's head.

Then, he took the cake from the back of the Lucky Qilin King and placed it in front of Zhou Hongzheng: "Zheng'er, it's your birthday today, happy birthday! This is the birthday cake your father prepared for you, and also some gifts you like."

Zhou Hong clapped her little hands happily, then opened her arms to hug Zhou Heng: "Thank you, Daddy! Daddy, hug me~"

"Zheng'er, be good~"

Zhou Heng stepped forward and hugged Zhou Hongzheng. Then, with a wave of his hand, the four candles on the cake lit up brightly: "Come on, blow out the candles first, then make a birthday wish."

With Zhou Heng, his parents, and their six tamed beasts as witnesses, Zhou Hong grinned and declared loudly, "I want to grow up quickly so I can live happily ever after with my dad, grandpa, and grandma!"

Zhou Heng gently corrected him, "Zheng'er, you can't say your wishes out loud; you have to think about them silently in your heart."

Zhou Hongzheng immediately looked distressed, his face filled with worry: "But what if I tell you?"

Zhou Heng gently pinched Zhou Hongzheng's cheek and comforted him, "It's okay, you can make a new wish next year on your birthday."

Zhou Hongzheng immediately stopped crying and started laughing: "Dad is so smart!"

Zhou Heng picked up a children's knife and placed it in Zhou Hongzheng's hand: "Come on, Zheng'er, let Daddy teach you how to cut the cake."

Zhou Hongzheng smiled brightly: "Okay~"

……

After celebrating Zhou Hongzheng's birthday, Zhou Heng took some time to visit the Eternal Order Holy Realm and met with Supreme Xuan Chen.

Upon learning that Zhou Heng had been promoted to a mid-level diamond cultivator, Xuan Chen Supreme was also very surprised. After all, Zhou Heng's advancement speed in the cultivator field was simply too fast, no less than the advancement speed in cultivating beasts.

But then he thought about it again and realized that Zhou Heng had many special qualities, so it was normal for him to have achieved this.

Therefore, Supreme Xuan Chen spared no praise, showering Zhou Heng with compliments over and over again.

The master and apprentice chatted happily.
