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

Upon hearing the generous benefits promised by Zhou Heng, Principal He was so excited that his facial features almost bulged out. He immediately knelt down and performed three full prostrations to Zhou Heng: "Thank you for your grace, Lord Garrison Commander! Your kindness is boundless! On behalf of all the students, I thank you, Lord Garrison Commander."

Zhou Heng pointed at Li Lang: "You should thank Yu Lang for this. If he hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have known about it."

Principal He then bowed to Li Lang and said, "On behalf of all the teachers and students, I thank you, President Li! You are truly like a second parent to me."

"Ha ha!"

Li Lang quipped with a mischievous grin, "My son is not even a year old. I don't have a son as big as yours."

Principal He blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

But then he thought that as long as he could bring benefits to the students, he wouldn't care how much Li Lang teased him.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng and Li Lang did not linger. They casually gave Principal He a few instructions, and then, with everyone seeing them off, they rode back onto the Lucky Qilin King and disappeared from the spot.

Back in the Heavenly Craft Space, Li Lang couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suggest that the Yan family patriarch do everything he could to help Yan Dongliang go to university?"

Zhou Heng spoke frankly: "Red Armor Star hasn't produced a college student for many years. If one college student can emerge during my year in office, it will be an achievement for me, and wouldn't that make people look at me with new respect?"

Li Lang then asked, "Then why don't you provide Yan Dongliang with some resources for evolving his beast taming abilities?"

Zhou Heng had already planned everything: "There's no need for that. The Yan family can afford it if they grit their teeth."

Li Lang frowned slightly: "So Yan Jialiang thinks Yan Dongliang's talent isn't enough and is unwilling to offer his services?"

Zhou Heng remained calm and composed: "Even so, I haven't suffered any loss. I just gave a casual suggestion. Whether the Yan family listens or not is irrelevant. It's like placing a random piece in a game of chess; whether it succeeds or fails, it doesn't matter."

Li Lang looked Zhou Heng up and down and couldn't help but sigh, "You're starting to have the air of someone in a position of authority."

Zhou Heng countered, "In your eyes, what constitutes the demeanor of someone in a position of authority?"

Li Lang had his own set of standards for this: "It means having everything under control, but not caring about anything. A casual remark can make people think all sorts of things and decide other people's fates. And nothing can stop you from moving forward."

Zhou Heng didn't say much, but took out a gold card and handed it to Li Lang: "There are more than 20 billion Alliance Coins in here. Put it into the Red Armor Branch's public treasury. For the next ten years, use this money to provide Red Armor Beast Taming High School with discounted beast taming services."

Li Lang asked instinctively, "What about ten years from now?"

Zhou Heng said indifferently, "I'm just here for an internship. I'll only be here for a year as a garrison commander. It would be quite good if I could manage things for ten years. What happens after ten years is entirely up to them."

Li Lang nodded: "That's true."

……

At the manor where the main branch of the Yan family resides, a group of high-ranking members of the Yan family gathered together.

Below the Yan family patriarch are five fourth-tier grandmaster beast tamers and more than seventy third-tier elite beast tamers.

These five fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers are the nephew, niece, eldest grandson, granddaughter-in-law, and great-grandson of the Yan family patriarch.

The Yan family patriarch looked around at the five fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers below and slowly spoke: "I have carefully considered what the Guardian said today, and I believe that what the Guardian said makes perfect sense. If our Yan family can produce a college graduate, we will be able to surpass the Dugu family to some extent."

The patriarch's nephew, unwilling to see his interests harmed, immediately jumped in to object: "But if we want Dongliang to become a university student, his tamed beast must at least reach the lower-level diamond quality within eight months. Currently, only your main tamed beast in the entire family is of lower-level diamond quality, Aunt. You should know how difficult it is for a tamed beast to evolve to lower-level diamond quality, and the timeframe is so tight. Even if we succeed, the family's treasury will likely be completely emptied. How will the family operate afterward?"

The great-grandson of the Yan family patriarch also chimed in, "Cousin Dongliang's aptitude is a bit lacking, only at C-level. There are other clansmen with B-level talent in the family, so why not allocate resources to those with better talent?"

As the head of the Yan family and Yan Dongliang's biological father, the eldest grandson of the Yan family patriarch chose to protect his own interests: "I think what Grandmother said makes sense. Although Liang'er only has a C-level talent, he has a glimmer of hope to advance to a fifth-level warrior beast tamer. He just needs the family's full support."

The niece of the Yan family patriarch snorted: "Patriarch, of course you should support your son in gaining benefits, but the family doesn't belong to you alone, it belongs to all of us Yan family members."

The Yan family patriarch retorted, "Dongliang is also a member of the Yan family. Doesn't the Yan family benefit from Dongliang becoming stronger?"

The patriarch's nephew used righteous indignation to pressure them: "Auntie's words make sense, but what if the clansmen feel that the distribution within the family is unfair?"

The Yan family patriarch was prepared: "If the garrison commander hadn't specifically brought this up, I wouldn't have had this idea. But since the garrison commander brought it up, even if it was just a casual remark, if we don't follow his advice and it displeases him, can you bear the responsibility?"

The nephew of the Yan family patriarch felt a chill run down his spine, but said dismissively, "Why would the garrison commander care about such a trivial matter?"

The Yan family patriarch paused, then said solemnly, "You all know the identity of the garrison commander. He is not an ordinary sixth-tier commander beast tamer. If he were merely the garrison commander of Crimson Armor Star, I wouldn't have summoned you to discuss this matter. But he is not only the garrison commander of Crimson Armor Star, but also the minor leader of the alliance, and backed by the Divine Dragon Zhou family. He is destined to become the number one person in the alliance in the future. Even a casual glance or a casual remark from him must be taken very seriously. We must not be careless."

The granddaughter-in-law of the Yan family patriarch, who was also Yan Dongliang's biological mother, chimed in, "Grandmother is right. We are nothing but ants in front of the garrison commander. He could crush us with a single finger, so we can't be too careful. Since the garrison commander specifically mentioned it, whether he meant it or not, going along with him is always the safest option. Besides, although Liang'er's talent is only C-grade, if he can really cultivate his beast taming to the lower-level diamond quality within eight months, and then further his studies at any beast taming university, he will still have a chance to become a fifth-tier battle general beast tamer in the future. Therefore, from any perspective, we shouldn't begrudge these resources."

"But……"

The others tried to object, but the Yan family patriarch suddenly unleashed the aura of a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer: "This matter is settled! Anyone who objects is going against this old woman!"

Seeing this, the nephew, niece, and great-grandfather of the Yan family patriarch were extremely resentful.

Family resources are limited; if others take the lion's share, they will have to take a smaller share.

However, since the situation was beyond their control, they had no choice but to keep quiet.
