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

Yuan Yitang, the eldest clan elder, spoke first: "Our Yu Heng hasn't even graduated with his doctorate yet, but he's already advanced to the mid-sixth rank of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng! He truly deserves to be recognized as an unparalleled genius by the Supreme Alliance Leader himself! With a young patriarch like Yu Heng, how can our Divine Dragon Zhou Clan not prosper in the future?"

Zhou Heng nodded politely: "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle."

Although Jingyin's great-uncle was of a high generation, he only appeared to be middle-aged. Seeing Zhou Heng's usual polite demeanor, he smiled gently: "Yuheng has been extraordinary since childhood. I knew from the start that you would amount to something great. And I was right. However, none of us expected you to be this successful. The Zhou family of the Divine Dragon Clan has been established for over three thousand years, and you are the only one who has allowed your beast tamers to grow so quickly!"

Because fifty or sixty years ago, the Dragon Cult wiped out all of the Zhou family's elites, and most of the high-ranking experts also died in that battle.

Nowadays, the only person in the Zhou family with a higher generation than Jingyin's great-uncle is Ancestor Wanbao.

The rest of the people were at most of the same generation as Jingyin's great-uncle.

However, their status was not as high as that of Jingyin's great-uncle. After all, even among peers, there are differences in talent.

A family's strength is not only determined by seniority, but also by its power.

Zhou Heng was neither deliberately modest nor arrogant. Instead, he looked to the future and spoke eloquently: "Although I was the only one in the last three thousand years, I believe that in the next three thousand years, the Zhou family of the Divine Dragon will definitely have more outstanding talents than me."

Tenth Uncle's wife, Tenth Aunt, was a woman with a similar personality to Zhou's mother. Her eyes and brows were very gentle: "SSS-level talent is already the best talent. Even if another clansman with SSS-level talent appears in future generations, they will only be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, not be better than you. Besides, it's not certain whether someone will even stand shoulder to shoulder with you in the future."

Zhou Heng's answer was impeccable: "I believe the family will become more and more prosperous."

Aunt Yuan Xue sincerely said, "Yu Heng, the family's prosperity is rooted in you!"

Zhou Heng wore a righteous and noble expression, raised his hand to the light, and said to everyone, "The family is not just me, but everyone else as well. Only when we work together can the family prosper."

Hongrui's nephew quickly chimed in, "Uncle is right! We will definitely follow closely behind you and help you revive the family."

"That's right, that's right..."

Aunt Yuan Shu, Aunt Chen Xian, Uncle Yuan Shen, and Cousin Yu Ling all chimed in, and Zhou Heng responded with a smile to each of them.

In no time, the group became increasingly congenial, their words filled with praise and admiration for Zhou Heng, mixed with flattery and praise, making the atmosphere even more harmonious.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng hosted a banquet on Ruilin Island to entertain many relatives, which was also a small celebration for the Devouring Star Kunpeng's advancement to the fourth level of the sixth rank.

Several days later, Zhou Hengxin returned to Hanyue Cave with a group of people.

He has now officially started his second year of doctoral studies. After completing his second year, he will receive his graduation certificate from Hanyue University and become a doctoral graduate.

The next day, the fourth senior brother, Rongtu Wang, arrived at Zhou Heng's Heavenly Craft Space: "Junior brother, you are now in your final year of doctoral studies. Are you preparing for your internship?"

Zhou Heng told the truth: "After studying for so many years, I really want to leave the campus and take a break."

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tuwang slowly spoke: "The school hopes that you can stay on to teach. Usually, for more outstanding students, our Hanyue Academy will give them the position of teaching assistant, and for extremely outstanding students, we will give them the position of lecturer."

Zhou Heng wasn't tempted, but he was still curious: "If I stay at the university, what kind of position do you plan to give me? A professor?"

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tuwang said directly, "You underestimate yourself. If you are willing to stay at the school, the school will directly give you the title of honorary principal."

Zhou Heng was surprised that Hanyue University valued him so much: "Senior, what's the difference between the honorary president and the official president of Hanyue University?"

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tu Wang explained, "The treatment and status are the same. It's just that a formal principal like me can directly participate in the management of Hanyue University, while an honorary principal doesn't need to. But theoretically, it's not a problem if an honorary principal wants to get involved in Hanyue University's affairs."

Even though Zhou Heng was tempted for a moment, he ultimately shook his head: "I've talked to my family before, and they want me to join the government."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang gently patted Zhou Heng's shoulder, indicating his understanding: "Since you've already made up your mind, then naturally we'll proceed according to your plan. Our families are all powerful clans affiliated with the Alliance's official government, so entering the government is an excellent choice for you. The Demon Slayer Emperor only has about twenty years left to live. Although you can't directly succeed him as Alliance Leader after his term ends, you'll definitely have to take over from someone else in the future. While the Alliance Leader doesn't need to worry about trivial matters, they still need some management experience. Only by personally experiencing the government, interacting with the people below, and witnessing how officials in the government deceive their superiors and act hypocritically, will you be less likely to be easily fooled by your subordinates when you become Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng thought for a moment: "I'd like to discuss this with my master."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang immediately said, "Go quickly!"

Zhou Heng nodded and instantly teleported to the Eternal Order Holy Realm, where he met Supreme Xuan Chen.

After hearing Zhou Heng's purpose, Supreme Xuan Chen immediately said, "You are now a sixth-tier Commander Beast Tamer, which is perfect for you to go to a level three planet to serve as its garrison. Don't look down on the low rank of a level three garrison commander; this kind of position is the best for tempering a person."

The garrison commander is the highest-ranking person on a planet.

Even the garrison commander of a level three planet is no minor official, as he commands all the humans on the entire planet, as well as vassal races living alongside them, making him a veritable local emperor.

Therefore, at least a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster is required to hold this position.

In today's East Asia, with a population of trillions, there are only tens of thousands of sixth-tier commander beast tamers.

Those who can become sixth-tier commander beast tamers are all outstanding individuals, and even on a first-tier planet, they are remarkable figures.

Only on the core planet, where powerful families are concentrated, are sixth-tier commanders and beast tamers somewhat inconspicuous, but they are not weaklings.

But size and strength are relative.

For Xuan Chen Supreme, guarding a level three planet was indeed considered a low-level position.

Zhou Heng readily agreed: "Since Master has said so, I will naturally listen to Master. I will spend my last year as a garrison officer on a level three planet and experience life at the grassroots level."

Supreme Xuan Chen was very satisfied: "It's best that you think this way."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng took the opportunity to ask Xuan Chen Supreme a few questions, and Xuan Chen Supreme answered them all carefully for Zhou Heng.
