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

After the competition ended, the fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, came to Zhou Heng's side: "Junior brother, thank you so much this time."

Zhou Heng said righteously, "Senior brother, you're too kind. Putting aside our relationship, I am also a student of Hanyue University, so it is only right for me to fight for Hanyue University."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu praised Zhou Heng highly: "Junior Brother, you are always so loyal and righteous."

Zhou Heng teased, "Senior brother, don't flatter me to death."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang said with a serious expression, "I'm telling the truth."

The two brothers got along very well and chatted until the next day before Zhou Heng finally took his leave.

After returning to Crimson Armor Star from Cold Moon University, Zhou Heng remained engrossed in the evolution of the Flowing Cloud Fish Dragon.

Time flew by and it was early May. In the Heavenly Craft Space, a dazzling blue light shot into the sky, and a majestic aura spread out. The Titan Lord had successfully advanced to the fifth rank, ninth level.

Its height increased directly from 72,000 meters to 84,000 meters, surpassing countless mountains in the world.

The Titan Lord stood majestically in the gem desert where it often played.

More than ten days later, the Heavenly Craft Space was filled with red light and auspicious colors, and the Blessed Qilin King successfully advanced to the fifth rank, ninth level.

Its size has increased from 1,500 meters to 2,400 meters.

Although it is not very large, the Lucky Qilin King does not need to rely on hand-to-hand combat to win.

Now, they are one step closer to the sixth rank.

Zhou Heng arrived at the side of the newly-breakthrough Fortune Qilin King, who immediately shrunk its size to three meters and rushed in front of Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng reached out and hugged the neck of the Lucky Qilin King, stroking its mane with a gentle and doting look in his eyes: "The Emperor God just broke through to the fifth rank, ninth level a few days ago, and you didn't want to fall behind, so you caught up with him directly."

The Lucky Qilin King nuzzled Zhou Heng's shoulder and said coquettishly, "Dad, the gap between me and the God Emperor is small to begin with, it'll be easy for me to catch up."

The Titan Lord stood aside and said, "Cheng Rui and I are of the same quality, and we formed a contract with my father around the same time. We should have progressed side by side."

Zhou Heng squeezed the Titan Lord's hard, blue crystal arm and revealed his plan: "I thought you would have to wait until July to advance to the ninth level of the fifth rank, but I didn't expect you to advance to the ninth level of the fifth rank so quickly. Once you advance to the tenth level of the fifth rank, you can start working on breaking through to the sixth rank. I believe that day is not far away."

The Lucky Qilin King shrank even further and jumped directly into Zhou Heng's arms: "Father infuses us with spiritual energy every now and then, so we naturally grow very fast."

The Titan Lord was very motivated: "We will definitely live up to Dad's expectations of us."

……

The day after the Fortune Qilin King broke through, Zhou Heng received an announcement on his communicator: the Jinwu Li family had gained a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer.

The one who was promoted to the seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer was one of the elder brothers of the Li family.

Zhou's parents came to find Zhou Heng, hoping to attend the ceremony.

Zhou Heng naturally wouldn't refuse them. He immediately prepared a gift and brought his parents, son, and others to the Yan Yang Plane, where they met the Li family patriarch, Madam Li, and the Linglong Ancestor.

The Zhou family of Shenlong also arrived quickly.

One after another, the other major families sent people to come and observe the ceremony.

Several days later, a grand ceremony was held to officially confer a title upon this newly promoted seventh-tier beast tamer of the Jinwu Li family.

According to the official records of the alliance, he is known as Yan Xiaohou.

At this conferment ceremony, Zhou Heng also met Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family.

Zhou Heng had some connection with him, so the two of them went to a pavilion in an oasis to brew and enjoy tea.

With his wrinkled hands, King Kunling picked up the purple jade teacup in front of him: "Last time, Marquis Chilang of the Shenlong Zhou family was promoted to a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer, and it also happened that the little alliance leader cultivated all the beasts to mythical quality. It was a double celebration, but unfortunately, I was unable to attend due to health reasons. I am truly sorry."

After Yuan Yitangbo was promoted to the seventh-rank feudal lord beast tamer, he was enfeoffed as Marquis of Chilang.

Zhou Heng looked at the trembling Kunling King and softened his voice: "Seventeenth Elder, there is no need to be so polite. Health is the most important asset. As long as you can recover, it doesn't matter whether you can come to my uncle's conferment ceremony or not. Your intention is enough."

This time, the Kunling King looked even older than when they met before. He was shrouded in a wide, yellow robe with long sleeves, and his figure was extremely thin. All his hair and beard had fallen out.

As soon as he opened his mouth, all the wrinkles on his face came together.

The weariness emanating from his entire being was impossible to conceal.

The Kunling King's voice was slightly hoarse: "My lifespan is coming to an end, and I can't be cured no matter how much I try. I heard that the Jinwu Li family has gained another seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer, and I knew that the little alliance leader would definitely not be absent, so I rushed over immediately."

Zhou Heng asked solemnly, "What brings the Seventeenth Elder to see me?"

Kunling King forced a smile: "It's nothing serious. It's just that I've known the young alliance leader for a long time, and I'll be passing away soon. I came out this time simply to say goodbye to all my old friends. If I may presume to say that the young alliance leader and I can also be considered friends."

Zhou Heng was speechless for a moment; he didn't know what to say.

Judging from the current state of Kunling King, he has at most five years to live, and most likely he won't live that long, maybe only three years.

Separation from loved ones and death are the things he dislikes most.

Although his relationship with Kunling King wasn't particularly close, they were acquaintances, and Kunling King was a mythical-level cultivator.

Now that the Kunling King is about to pass away, he felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

The Kunling King spoke up on his own: "The Divine Dragon Zhou family's Marquis Chilang has only been promoted to a seventh-level Marquis Beast Tamer for a few months, and the Golden Crow Li family has gained another seventh-level Marquis Beast Tamer. This shows that although the Divine Dragon Zhou family and the Golden Crow Li family experienced the Dragon Sect rebellion decades ago, they are now gradually recovering thanks to the Little Alliance Leader."

He had lived for nearly six hundred years, and Zhou Heng was the most powerful and unparalleled genius he had ever seen.

Zhou Heng never boasted about his achievements: "Even without me, the number of seventh-tier beast tamers from the Zhou and Li families would gradually increase."

As the Kunling King neared his death, his mind remained remarkably clear: "But it will never be like this, with them springing up one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Young Alliance Leader, having formed a contract with the Fortune Qilin King, should know that the concept of fortune is not a mere illusion. Young Alliance Leader possesses unparalleled talent and is destined to become a figure who suppresses an era. Someone like you must possess immense fortune. The Zhou and Li families have benefited from your influence, and from now on, they will surely prosper forever."

Zhou Heng poured Kunling King a cup of tea: "Thank you for the Seventeenth Elder's auspicious words."
