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

When Tianyin Hou, a seventh-rank noble beast tamer, descended upon Crimson Armor Star on a giant dragon of light, it caused quite a stir.

Cao Xin, the former garrison commander of Red Armor Star, had mixed feelings after receiving the transfer order.

The transfer of a garrison commander from a level-three planet to a core planet as an assistant to the prefect is a promotion and a raise, and a particularly good promotion option.

Because above the Prefectural Assistant on the core planet are the Ordinary Prefectural Assistant, the Grand Prefectural Assistant, the Deputy Garrison Commander, and the Garrison Commander, these officials do not usually manage specific affairs and generally delegate them to the Prefectural Assistant. Therefore, the Prefectural Assistant has considerable power to some extent and is more likely to obtain high-level resources.

However, it's not without its downsides. The main problem is that there are too many powerful figures on the core planet. The assistants of the prefectural governors on the core planet have to serve these powerful figures well in order to live a comfortable life.

Unlike the guardians of level three planets, they are the highest-ranking beings on remote small planets, who can act arrogantly and domineeringly.

For ambitious people, the assistant prefect of a core planet is better than the garrison commander of a third-level planet; for those who are content with the status quo, the garrison commander of a third-level planet is better than the assistant prefect of a core planet.

However, Zhou Heng had already sent someone to deliver the transfer order, leaving no room for negotiation on the side of Chijia Star. Cao Xin, the original garrison commander of Chijia Star, did not dwell on it further.

In short, it's a good thing for him to get a promotion and a raise, so he can't lose out no matter what.

So, after a farewell banquet held for him by many people, he happily sat on the back of the sixth-tier Thousand-Eyed Demon Spider King, a high-grade diamond-quality creature, and led a group of confidants to Yuanli Ancient Star to take up his post as assistant to the prefect.

As for Marquis Tianyin, he quickly returned to Hanyue University to report back to Zhou Heng.

On the other side, just as Zhou Hong was about to go find Ling Ruoshui, Ling Ruoshui arrived first.

Five- or six-year-old children don't really have a strong concept of separation, so the two weren't particularly sad. They whispered to each other, played for a while, gave each other a few toys, and that was it.

Zhou Heng had arranged many playmates for Zhou Hongzheng. With these people by his side, although Zhou Hongzheng and Ling Ruoshui had a good relationship, it could only be considered as ordinary good friends, with a slight hint of childhood sweethearts.

Zhou Heng took advantage of this time to leave the Tiangong Space. He first went to Li Lang's manor in Weidu and told him that he was going to Chijia Star to serve as its garrison commander.

Li Lang replied without hesitation, "Since you're leaving Weidu, I'll go with you."

Zhou Heng frowned: "Why are you coming with me? You're a junior councilor at the Pharmacist Association headquarters. What will happen to your position if you leave? You should stay in Weidu and improve your skills and pharmacist rank."

Li Lang's decision was not impulsive: "My current position is generally reserved for fifth-tier alchemists or fifth-tier warrior beast tamers, but I am only a fourth-tier grandmaster beast tamer, and my current alchemy level is only third-tier. The reason I am able to hold this position is entirely due to your influence. Once you leave Weidu, although your prestige will remain, the emperor will be far away, and others may not respect me as much as before. It would be better for me to leave with you."

Zhou Heng tried to persuade him gently: "Although I have left Weidu, I can come back at any time. Moreover, my senior brother Rongtu Wang and Elder Li are all in Weidu. If all else fails, there is Ling Yisheng. Who would dare to bully you under these circumstances? They must have too many brains."

Li Lang was determined: "I don't care. I'm tired of Weidu. I just want to go to Chijia Star with you. I don't care about the position of a junior councilor at the Pharmacist Association headquarters. To be honest, I haven't even stepped into the Pharmacist Association headquarters more than a few times in the past few years."

Seeing this, Zhou Heng didn't want to refuse Li Lang, so he said, "Since you've said so, then come with me! I'll be the garrison commander on Red Armor Star, and I'll find you a position in the Beastmaster Guild branch on Red Armor Star."

Li Lang was overjoyed: "Red Armor Star is just a level three planet. With my relationship with you, I should have no problem going there and becoming a branch president of the Alchemist Guild, right?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Of course, no problem."

Li Lang started to nitpick: "But I don't really want to be the head; I want to be the vice president. The head has to deal with too many problems, while the vice president is only slightly lower in rank, with almost the same power, but much less responsibility. Anyway, with you here, the position doesn't really matter."

Zhou Heng said directly, "Since you've already made up your mind, then you should prepare. I'm heading to Crimson Armor Star in a couple of days."

Li Lang appeared extremely nonchalant: "There's nothing to prepare. Most of my belongings are in my storage treasures."

Zhou Heng glanced around, lingering especially on the servants: "Aren't you going to make arrangements for this manor? You might come back sometime."

If Li Lang just leaves like that, these servants will be without work for a while, and their future will definitely be affected.

It would be better to let them manage the manor for Li Lang after he leaves Weidu; that would be the best of both worlds.

"Okay, I'll come find you in two days." Li Lang didn't think too much about it, but he still listened to the advice.

Zhou Heng nodded and left. He then returned to the Heavenly Craft Space with Zhou Hongzheng and visited his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, Li Xiang, and cousin Yu Ming, asking Zhou Hongzheng to say goodbye to them.

Two days later, Li Lang had arranged everything and arrived at the Heavenly Craft Space.

Zhou Hong was overjoyed to learn that Li Lang would accompany them to Red Armor Star.

Before leaving, Zhou Heng was seen off by his fourth senior brother Rong Tuwang, Li Xiang, his cousin Yu Mingtang, and many other high-ranking officials from Hanyue University.

Zhou Heng flew out of the Heavenly Craft Space with them, and then with a thought, the Heavenly Craft Fortress, which looked like a city, was reduced to the size of a palm in the blink of an eye, and was held in Zhou Heng's hand.

Zhou's father, mother, and others were all inside.

After Zhou Heng nodded to the people who came to see him off, he immediately shared the powerful skills of the Star Devouring Kunpeng and disappeared from the spot.

……

Red Armor Star, Red Armor City.

In the town hall's plaza, the seventh-rank Crimson Armor Clan Chief led dozens of sixth-rank Crimson Armor Clan members in a neat formation, their faces showing eager anticipation.

Beside them, several fifth-tier warrior beast tamers, including the deputy garrison commander of Crimson Armor Star, and dozens of fourth-tier grandmaster beast tamers also stood in neat formation, clearly separated from the Crimson Armor Clan's powerful figures on both sides.

However, the expressions on their faces were quite similar.

They did this mainly to wait for Zhou Heng's arrival.

Further afield, in the three main areas of Red Armor City—the Royal City, the Inner City, and the Outer City—all were adorned with red decorations, lanterns, and plaques, and eye-catching banners were everywhere.

The signs read things like "Welcome, Little Alliance Leader, to Shijia Star," "Warmly welcome the new Garrison Commander," and some even said "Long live the Little Alliance Leader."

Meanwhile, many people dressed in new clothes, holding flowers and waving colorful flags stood on the streets.
