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

To help Principal He of the Crimson Armor Beast Tamer High School out of this predicament, the Yan family patriarch carefully smiled and explained to Zhou Heng, "Lord Guardian, you may not know this, but there aren't many strong individuals on third-tier planets. Ordinary fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers wouldn't even consider the position of principal of a third-rate Beast Tamer High School. On other third-tier planets, a peak third-tier elite Beast Tamer is enough to become a principal. As for Principal He, he has been teaching and nurturing students since his youth, and even after becoming a fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer, he hasn't forgotten his original aspirations and has remained steadfast in his post. Otherwise, with Principal He's strength, becoming the director or deputy director of the Education Bureau on a third-tier planet would be entirely within his capabilities."

Students from third-rate beast-taming high schools, limited by talent and resources, mostly graduate as first-level apprentice beast tamers, with only a few reaching the level of second-level senior beast tamers.

It takes many years for someone to become a Tier 3 elite beast tamer.

Therefore, having a third-tier elite beast tamer serve as a teacher for students in a third-rate beast taming high school is more than enough.

Moreover, a third-tier planet typically only has a few dozen fourth-tier grandmaster beast tamers, and they are unlikely to come over to be teachers.

Zhou Heng encouraged Principal He, saying, "Staying true to your original aspiration is indeed commendable."

Principal He beamed with joy: "Thank you for the praise, Lord Garrison Commander, and thank you for your kind words, Senior Yan."

Zhou Heng casually praised Principal He of Crimson Armor Beast Taming High School before turning his attention to the arena below.

The first event was the grade-level competition for first-year high school students.

All the students who went on stage were first-level apprentice beast tamers.

He swept his mental energy across the area, instantly gaining a clear understanding of the situation of the more than 6,000 students at Crimson Armor Beast Taming High School.

In the first year of high school, the weakest beast tamer has only reached the second level of the first rank, and the strongest is only at the sixth level of the first rank.

In the second year of high school, the weakest student was only at the fourth level of the first rank, and the strongest was only at the tenth level of the first rank.

The situation was slightly better in the third year of high school; the weakest was at the fifth level of the first tier, and the strongest reached the seventh level of the second tier.

Of the more than 6,000 students across the three grades, 4,000 have contracted with lower-grade bronze beasts, 1,600 have contracted with mid-grade bronze beasts, 400 have contracted with upper-grade bronze beasts, and 5 have contracted with lower-grade silver beasts.

Only one person had contracted a mid-level gold-quality beast, which was particularly eye-catching. He was also the top student in his senior year of high school who had cultivated his beast to the second tier, seventh level.

Zhou Heng then said, "Principal He."

Principal He bowed and scraped: "Your subordinate is here. Please give your orders, sir."

Zhou Heng issued the order: "Have all students with C-level talent, as well as those who have contracted beasts of silver quality or higher, assemble before this town garrison commander."

"Yes, sir." Principal He immediately transmitted his voice to the teachers in each class.

Soon, several teachers arrived with twenty students each.

The teachers and students bowed and greeted: "Greetings, Lord Garrison Commander, Greetings, Chairman Li."

Zhou Heng raised his hand: "No need for formalities."

The teachers and students instinctively straightened their posture: "Thank you, Commander."

Of these twenty students, seventeen had C-level talent, but only two had contracted with lower silver-quality beasts, one had contracted with a mid-level gold-quality beast, and the remaining fourteen had contracted with upper-level bronze-quality beasts.

The other three individuals only possessed D-level talent, but their family backgrounds were relatively better, allowing them to contract with lower-level silver-quality beasts.

Zhou Heng looked at the twenty youthful and sunny faces in front of him, encouraged the children, and then waved his hand to take out twenty resources containing a large number of second-tier and third-tier spiritual items, which he then bestowed upon these relatively outstanding students from the third-level planet.

It's not that he can't offer something better, but for these young students, the resources they can use right now are the best resources.

Principal He quickly reminded them, "Why don't you thank the garrison commander soon!"

Twenty students prostrated themselves on the ground: "We thank you for your grace, Guardian! May you enjoy boundless happiness!"

Zhou Heng pointed and asked, "What's the name of that boy in the green shirt?"

The boy in green felt a chill run down his spine, filled with unease. He could only steel himself and say, "Reporting to the garrison commander, my name is Yan Dongliang."

Zhou Heng waved his hand: "Everyone else, go down. Yan Dongliang, stay here."

Several teachers from the top and key classes quickly led their students away, leaving only Yan Dongliang, who had been called out by Zhou Heng, behind.

The Yan family patriarch was extremely nervous: "Lord Garrison Commander, this child is my great-grandson, I don't know him..."

Zhou Heng understood immediately: "No wonder he was able to contract a mid-level gold-quality beast; it turns out he's a direct descendant of Elder Yan."

A mid-tier gold-quality beast is nothing special to Zhou Heng, but it's quite precious on a level three planet, since it's a beast that can reliably advance to the fourth tier.

Once a successful evolution is achieved, it can reach the superior gold quality and has the potential to advance to the fifth tier.

Yan Dongliang only has a C-level talent. Generally speaking, a family with only a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer would never invest a lot of resources in a family member with a C-level talent.

After all, even with a relatively high-quality beast taming ability, a C-level talent will slow down the beast taming process. It is extremely difficult and the hope of advancing to a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer is very slim.

Moreover, these resources could be saved and used to cultivate more talented members of the clan, unless there is absolutely no other choice, in which case they would resort to desperate measures.

The Yan family patriarch couldn't understand Zhou Heng's purpose, so he could only honestly say to Zhou Heng, "Lord Guardian, I have many descendants, but Dong Liang is my favorite. That's why when he awakened his talent, I went to great lengths to acquire a mid-level gold-quality beast cub for him from Xuanxiao Star."

Li Lang immediately transmitted his voice to Zhou Heng: "Yan Dongliang is the youngest son of the current Yan family patriarch. Although his talent is average, he looks very much like the eldest son of the Yan family patriarch who died young. Therefore, he was raised by the Yan family patriarch from a young age and was raised by him. The Yan family patriarch has placed special feelings on him."

Without needing to say more, Zhou Heng understood immediately.

Fearing an awkward silence, the Yan family patriarch deliberately sought out a topic: "Dongliang has been spoiled by me since he was a child, and his strength is meager. I hope you will forgive him, Lord Garrison Commander."

Although Zhou Heng was a genius, he also knew that geniuses were always a minority and mediocre people were the majority: "The second-ranked student in the senior year of Chijia Beast Taming High School only managed to cultivate Beast Taming to the second level of the second tier. This kid has already cultivated Beast Taming to the seventh level of the second tier. At least on Chijia Star, he is quite good."

The patriarch of the Yan family was somewhat ashamed, his face wrinkling together: "Lord Garrison, you flatter me. I am truly unworthy of such praise."

She sighed, "It's a pity that Dongliang only has a C-level talent; it would be better if he had a B-level talent."

Zhou Heng casually remarked, "This child's talent is average, but he seems to have a special connection with Yu Lang."
