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

Zhou Heng's expression softened as he looked at Zhou Huijing: "No need to thank me. We are all of the same clan, and it is only right that we help each other."

Zhou Huijing shook his head repeatedly, his face full of gratitude: "No, Great-Uncle, I must thank you! Although you are my elder, there are too many people in the family who can be considered my elders. Apart from my parents, no elder has ever been as good to me as you."

He spoke very sincerely because he was truly grateful to Zhou Heng.

After all, according to the usual rules, a beast tamer with S-level talent like him could only choose a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer as his mentor when he came to Hanyue University.

Even if he were the top scorer in this year's Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, at most he could bypass ordinary professors and choose to become the vice dean or dean of one of the seven major academies.

However, although the vice deans and deans of the seven colleges of Hanyue University are more powerful than ordinary seventh-level feudal lord beast tamers, they are still within the scope of seventh-level feudal lord beast tamers.

Li Xiang, however, was different.

He was a newly promoted eighth-level monarch beast tamer. Although he was only one level higher than the seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer, the difference was like heaven and earth.

It's impossible for an average S-rank talent to have an eighth-rank King Beastmaster as their mentor.

Although the relationship between a mentor and a student is not as formal as that between a master and apprentice, a connection is still established between them. Even if they cannot inherit the mantle, at least they have a sense of face and affection.

The ancestor of the Zhou family, Wanbaowang, was only an eighth-level monarch beast tamer.

In Zhou Huijing's eyes, Li Xiang becoming his mentor was a huge leap for him, and he would continue to benefit from it.

Zhou Heng patted Zhou Huijing's arm and encouraged him, "If you really want to thank me, then work hard to become stronger! As long as you can become a useful talent for the family in the future, then my plans for you today will not have been in vain."

Zhou Huijing's tone was passionate and his heart was filled with lofty ambitions: "Great-Uncle, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down! Although my talent is far inferior to yours, and my future achievements will certainly be far less than yours, I will definitely give full play to my strength and contribute my own power to the family!"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Good boy, I believe you can do it! Keep it up!"

Afterwards, Zhou Heng introduced Zhou Huijing and Li Xiang to each other, and then took Zhou Huijing back to the Heavenly Craft Space.

In a few days, Zhou Huijing will formally begin his studies under Li Xiang.

Zhou Heng casually asked, "I haven't asked you yet, which college are you planning to choose? What major?"

Zhou Huijing regards Zhou Heng as a role model and is deeply influenced by him: "You have made outstanding achievements in the field of training educators. I am also quite interested in training educators, and I would like to choose a major in training educators."

Zhou Heng offered extremely objective advice: "Then you can go to the Incubator Academy, or come to the Comprehensive Theory Academy like me. It doesn't matter which academy you go to. Your mentor is Elder Li, who, as the vice principal, is above all seven academies. Elder Li himself is a scholar of unparalleled learning. He is a seventh-level blacksmith, a seventh-level alchemist, and also a hegemon incubator. Whatever you want to learn, he can teach you."

Zhou Huijing replied without hesitation, "Then I'll just register my student status at the College of Comprehensive Theory, just like you."

Zhou Heng said directly, "I'll have someone take care of it for you later, so you don't need to worry about it."

Zhou Huijing's face lit up with excitement, but he paused for a moment before continuing, "Thank you, Grand Uncle Zeng, I..."

Zhou Heng coaxed gently, "What's wrong? What's there to hesitate about in front of me? Just say what you want to say."

Zhou Huijing voiced his concerns: "Uncle Zeng, I'm a little worried. If I skip the professors and directly choose my advisor, won't the people at Hanyue University have any objections?"

Zhou Heng flicked his cloak, his imposing aura almost overwhelming: "Who dares to object to something I've orchestrated?"

Zhou Huijing's eyes lit up, his admiration for Zhou Heng growing even stronger: "Great-Uncle, you are truly awe-inspiring!"

Zhou Heng encouraged him, "As long as you work hard to become stronger, one day you can be like me."

Zhou Huijing was very self-aware: "I dare not compare myself to you. I am far inferior to you. I would be satisfied if I could see your heels from afar in this lifetime."

Zhou Heng said a few polite words: "Don't underestimate yourself. You're only a freshman in college, and you've already cultivated your main beast tamer to the fourth tier, second level. Your future prospects are definitely not bad."

Zhou Huijing nodded emphatically: "I will try my best."

……

A few days later, Zhou Huijing moved out of the Tiangong Space and went to Li Xiang's place to study under Li Xiang.

However, he would come to the Heavenly Craft Space every now and then to greet Zhou Heng.

During this period, Li Lang also visited Zhou Heng several times. Although their current status and life experiences are very different, their childhood friendship has never changed in the slightest.

Every time Li Lang came, he would bring a small gift for Zhou Hongzheng. Although it wasn't anything expensive, it was very appealing to a child like Zhou Hongzheng.

In Zhou Hongzheng's eyes, Li Lang was a very nice uncle, and Zhou Hongzheng really enjoyed spending time with him.

Zhou Heng approached Li Lang and said, "You like children so much, why don't you have one yourself?"

Li Lang's tone was unhurried but very solemn: "I've said before that I don't plan to get married or have children."

Zhou Heng stared into Li Lang's eyes: "I'll ask you one more time, have you thought it through?"

Li Lang nodded: "I've thought it through."

Zhou Heng is a very open-minded person: "As long as you've thought it through, I have nothing more to say."

Li Lang bluntly stated, "I'm different from you. To use the language of over 6,500 years ago, my family doesn't have a throne to inherit, so there's no need for me to get married and have children. You're different; you truly have family power to pass on, so you must have a child."

Zhou Heng slowly shook his head: "It's not like that. Children are the continuation of bloodlines. Even if you don't consider the family, having a child is a good thing."

Li Lang brought up the past: "I remember you didn't have this attitude at the beginning."

Zhou Heng did not hide his journey: "People change. At first, I really didn't want children, but with my parents' insistence, we had Zheng'er. As Zheng'er grew up, I also experienced the joy of raising children."

Zhou Heng didn't want children before because of the influence of his previous life.

In my past life, I was an ordinary person. Raising children was a very painful thing, and I had endless worries about their schooling, work, and marriage.

But having been born into a prominent family, he found that he didn't need to worry about raising the child at all after having Zhou Hongzheng.

Zhou Hongzheng has no worries about his future schooling, work, and marriage; his family will take care of everything.

In such circumstances, one can fully enjoy the fun of parent-child interaction.

Zhou Heng's views also changed as a result.
