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

After listening to the Abyss Demon Dragon's statement, Zhou Heng retorted, "Isn't this a good thing? I gave you extra lessons before so that you wouldn't fall too far behind Fei Hong. Now that you can all keep up, what's there to be unhappy about?"

The Abyss Dragon was particularly concerned about the strength and level changes: "When the Iceberg Dragon evolves into the Primordial Yinglong, a high-level mythical quality dragon, won't it far surpass me and Little Phoenix again?"

Zhou Heng casually said, "Don't worry about things that far ahead. Focus on your own current evolution first!"

The Abyss Dragon was nonchalant and didn't seem to feel any pressure at all: "With you here, isn't evolution easy? Little Phoenix and I have both shown signs of autonomous evolution, so this evolution is guaranteed to succeed."

Zhou Heng spoke like a nagging old father: "Even so, you must be fully prepared and not be careless."

The Abyss Dragon was like a rebellious teenager: "Is there any conflict between these two things?"

Zhou Heng deliberately used the three Azure Phoenixes as an example: "Of course there are conflicts. Look at how serious and earnest Jiu Xiao was when he was about to evolve."

The Netherworld Demon Dragon glanced at the three-headed Azure Phoenix perched on Zhou Heng's other shoulder, and scoffed, "Does pretending to be serious increase the success rate?"

The three-headed Azure Phoenix stood firmly by Zhou Heng's side, chiming in, "Tyrant, don't argue with your father. That's not what I meant. I just said that at crucial moments, you should take things seriously and not let things go unchecked."

The Netherworld Dragon still had some patience for Zhou Heng, but it made no attempt to suppress its arrogant nature when facing other tamed beasts: "Little Phoenix, stop lecturing me! It's one thing for Old Deng to say a few words to me, but you're not qualified."

The three-headed Azure Phoenix was somewhat angry: "If we weren't both my father's tamed beasts, who do you think would want to talk to you like that?"

The Abyss Dragon, its neck stiff, retorted, "Then shut your mouth!"

The three Azure Phoenixes and the Netherworld Demon Dragon stood on the left and right, arguing back and forth.

Zhou Heng didn't want to criticize them before they evolved, lest it affect their mentality, so he could only helplessly try to smooth things over: "Alright, both of you stop arguing. Take these three days to rest and recuperate. After three days, I'll start the evolution ritual for Jiuxiao first, and then I'll start the evolution ritual for Tyrant."

The three-headed phoenixes were extremely obedient: "I understand, Father."

The Abyss Dragon had many whimsical ideas: "Why initiate the evolution ritual for the little phoenix first? Why can't we initiate the evolution ritual for both of us at once?"

Zhou Heng patiently analyzed, "Although you have shown signs of autonomous evolution and the chance of success is very high, close to 100%, we can't act recklessly. Performing evolution rituals on both of you at once makes many things difficult to control, and you might become that 0.1% of negative examples, thus failing."

Although the Abyss Dragon was usually mischievous, it was quite obedient when it came to becoming stronger: "Alright! You're right, I'll listen to you."

Titan Lord seized the opportunity to speak up: "Dad, actually, there's no problem in activating the evolution ritual for both Nine Heavens and Tyrant at the same time."

Zhou Heng looked at the Titan Lord: "Why do you say that?"

Titan Lord volunteered: "Dad, although you are all alone and can't be in two places at once, you have us! The Nine Heavens and Tyrant have an almost 100% success rate in starting the evolution ritual. As long as you use the corresponding spiritual objects in the correct order and complete the evolution process, we can completely help you with this stage."

The Abyss Demon Dragon jumped up and down in a panic: "How can this be? You, as a beast tamer, actually want to initiate an evolution ritual for other beast tamers!"

Zhou Heng rested his hand on his chin, pondering carefully for a moment: "Actually, what the Emperor God said might not be without merit. Under normal circumstances, this method definitely wouldn't work. After all, the success rate of an ordinary beast tamer initiating an evolution ritual for a beast that shows no signs of autonomous evolution is too low. If the beast tamer doesn't do it themselves and instead relies on other beasts for help, the success rate will definitely drop even further. But since both Jiuxiao and Tyrant have shown signs of autonomous evolution, as long as the Emperor God, Wuji, and Chengrui become familiar with the corresponding procedures, the three of them can completely initiate the evolution ritual for one of you on my behalf."

The three-headed Azure Phoenix had doubts: "The beast evolution ritual requires the cooperation of a beast contract, which only a beast master can do. No other beast can replace it."

The Titan Lord quickly replied, "Even if we were to help, we would only be assisting Father. Father is still the one in charge."

The Abyss Dragon was prejudiced against the Titan Lords and completely distrusted them: "No, no, I disagree! I'd rather delay the evolution ritual than have that big guy help me."

After careful consideration, Zhou Heng finally chose the conservative approach: "Alright, this time we'll proceed in order, and I'll initiate the evolution ritual for you one by one! Initiating the evolution ritual for multiple beasts at once, with other beasts assisting, is a good suggestion, but it's not mature enough and hasn't been tested. We'll discuss it next time."

The Abyss Dragon glared smugly at the Titan Lord: "Big guy, don't give me any more suggestions next time, or I'll use you as an experiment."

The Titan Lord didn't even look at the Abyss Dragon, but sincerely said to Zhou Heng, "Dad, next time I evolve, you can use me as an experiment."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng stepped in to smooth things over: "The key now is the evolution of Jiuxiao and Tyrant. We can talk about other things after they have evolved."

Zhou Heng nodded: "Wuji makes a good point."

The Lucky Qilin King subtly steered the conversation in another direction: "Has Father found a suitable place for the evolution?"

Zhou Heng continued, "Nine Heavens evolves into the Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix, and Tyrant evolves into the Slaughtering Saint Demon Dragon. There are no special requirements for the evolution site. There is a boundless sea area 500,000 kilometers away from Ruilin Island, where no clansmen live. Today, I have asked my grandparents to send people to clear the area for me. The evolution ceremony will begin there in three days."

The Devouring Star Kunpeng flattered Zhou Heng: "With Father here, everything is indeed perfect. We don't need to worry at all. We just need to congratulate Jiuxiao and Tyrant in advance! Soon Jiuxiao and Tyrant will be able to reach the mythical quality of bloodline, just like us."

The Abyss Demon Dragon said sourly, "You are a high-ranking myth, we can't compare to you."

As a being capable of contending with the Chaos Beast Tamers, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng was always magnanimous and inclusive, so it didn't stoop to the level of the Netherworld Demon Dragon.

Zhou Heng gently patted the golden back of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, then looked at the other four beasts, his tone solemn and dignified: "Regardless of bloodline, you are all my contracted partners. You only need to remember this."

Apart from the sleeping Guixu Divine Dragon, the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix, the Netherworld Demon Dragon, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, the Titan Lord, and the Fortune Qilin King all felt delighted upon hearing this.

For a time, Zhou Heng and his beast tamers enjoyed themselves even more.
