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

After a moment of silence, Kunling King suddenly said, "Young Alliance Leader, I have no regrets in this life."

He rambled on, his tone deep yet tinged with a sense of relief: "Five hundred and ninety-nine years ago, I was born in the Myriad Realms of the Qiongqi Meng family. My parents had poor talents; although they were direct descendants of a noble family, they were only third-tier elite beast tamers. Above me were many brothers and sisters, so I wasn't highly regarded. It wasn't until I was eighteen that I officially awakened my beast taming talent and discovered I had S-rank talent, after which I began to receive more and more attention. Later, when I went to university, I chose to become a breeder. Unexpectedly, my aptitude in this area was quite astonishing, and I rose all the way to become a mythical breeder. In order to let me live longer, my family spent a lot of resources to help me cultivate my main beasts to the lower-tier mythical quality, and I barely advanced to the eighth-tier monarch beast tamer at the age of three hundred and fifty..."

Eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamers have a lifespan of six hundred years. This is just a figurative number; it may be slightly longer or slightly shorter than six hundred years. They will not pass away on their six hundredth birthday, but the fluctuation will not be too great.

After listening quietly to Kunling King's account, Zhou Heng gave the most objective assessment: "Although the Seventeenth Elder's life wasn't exactly spectacular, it could certainly be called legendary!"

"Young Alliance Leader, you jest."

A complex smile was forced onto Kunling King's gaunt face: "In my life, I can't be considered a legend; I can only be said to have made some achievements."

Looking at the clear tea in his cup, Zhou Heng asked in return, "Every eighth-tier Monarch Beastmaster is a remarkable figure. Those who can advance to the eighth-tier Monarch Beastmaster with S-level talent are even rarer. How can they not be considered legends? At least the existence of the Seventeenth Elder can be a very effective motivator for those S-level talent Beastmasters."

All the unspoken words in Kunling King's heart turned into a sigh: "Alas..."

A bitter smile appeared on his face: "Please forgive me, Young Alliance Leader, I have lost my composure."

Zhou Heng remained expressionless: "It's alright."

After a moment's pause, King Kunling mustered his strength and said, "While eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamers hold a respectable position in the Eastern Alliance, they are still above ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamers and tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamers. Unlike our young leader, whose future is limitless, they are the most enviable. Moreover, as an S-rank talent, compared to those SS-rank eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamers, my growth rate is not only slower, but my combat strength is also lower. Although I am older, I can only be considered a gatekeeper among eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamers."

Zhou Heng immediately comforted Kunling King, telling him to relax.

Kunling King verbally agreed, but Zhou Heng had no idea what he was really thinking.

After all, matters like approaching one's lifespan cannot be resolved in just a few words.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng and Kunling King chatted for a while longer before Kunling King made an excuse and left.

Zhou Heng then returned to the residence arranged for him by the old patriarch, Li.

He and his parents stayed in the Blazing Sun Plane for several days. Just as they were about to return to Crimson Armor Star, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng suddenly said to him, "Father, I'm about to break through to the fifth level of the sixth rank. Can I break through in the Blazing Sun Plane? If not, I can suppress it a little."

Zhou Heng said directly, "You can definitely break through here. The Zhou family and the Li family are both my families. The Yan Yang Plane is the second safest place after the Cang Lan Plane."

As for the third safest place, that would be Master's Eternal Sacred Realm.

Having received Zhou Heng's confirmation, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng immediately flew out of the palace and soared into the sky, growing from a meter in size to 1,800 kilometers in size, stretching across the sky and obscuring the heavens.

Its enormous size even dwarfs the Golden Crow that roams the heavens in the Fiery Sun Plane, which has always transformed into the sun and traveled in all directions.

Because the main beast controlled by the Linglong Ancestor, the peak eighth-order Sky-Patrolling Golden Crow, has a wingspan of only 800,000 meters, which translates to no more than 800 kilometers.

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng is far larger than the Sky-Patrolling Golden Crow.

Therefore, the moment the Divine Kun-form Devouring Star Kunpeng returned to its original form from its miniature size and unleashed its power, the entire Flaming Sun Plane was alarmed.

Countless members of the Li family raised their heads, gazing at the star-devouring Kunpeng in the sky, their eyes filled with deep surprise, shock, and admiration.

"What a huge giant Kun!"

"This is the Little Alliance Leader's Star-Devouring Kunpeng!"

"The young alliance leader also has the blood of our Li family, so rounding it up, he can be considered a member of our Li family. I heard he's currently with the Li family, so why did he suddenly summon the Star-Devouring Kunpeng out of the blue?"

"There's no need to round up or down; our young leader is originally a member of the Li family."

"Our Jinwu Li family and Shenlong Zhou family are the closest strategic allies, and have been in a relationship of mutual support for a long time. The young alliance leader is the core representative of the bloodline of both sides."

"What overwhelming power! No wonder it's a beast of superior mythical quality."

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a powerful mythical beast!"

"Isn't the Ancestor's Heavenly Crow always hanging in the sky?"

"It's different. Although the Ancestor's Sky-Patrolling Golden Crow is of a higher level, I always feel that the Little Alliance Leader's Star-Devouring Kunpeng has a kind of power that no other beast has."

"Of course, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng is not only a high-level mythical quality beast, but also not just an ordinary high-level mythical quality beast. It is said that the Star-Devouring Kunpeng is the strongest high-level mythical quality beast in the world, capable of contending with low-level chaos quality beasts with its high-level mythical body."

"So, does that mean we can consider the Star-Devouring Kunpeng as a chaotic-quality beast?"

"almost."

"Such a powerful being is only worthy of being contracted by an SSS-level supreme genius like the Little Alliance Leader!"

"That's right..."

While the ordinary members of the Jinwu Li family looked up at the sky and discussed among themselves, one after another, the high-ranking members of the Jinwu Li family tore through the void, transformed into rainbow light, and arrived near Zhou Heng, staring intently at the Star Devouring Kunpeng who was breaking through.

This included the Li family patriarch and his wife.

Endless golden light erupted from the body of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng. From afar, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng looked like a golden sun, and in the blink of an eye, the golden light covered the entire Fiery Sun Plane.

With a long, ethereal cry, the aura of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng suddenly broke through a critical point, and its level rose from the fourth level of the sixth rank to the fifth level of the sixth rank.

This made the golden light around the Star-Devouring Kunpeng even more intense. The lower-ranking members of the Li family did not even dare to look directly at the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, while the higher-ranking members of the Li family were also intimidated by the powerful aura of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng.

The size of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng continued to grow, increasing from 1,800 kilometers to 2,600 kilometers in an instant, becoming even more astonishing.

Even the peak eighth-tier Sky-Patrolling Golden Crow appeared quite small in comparison.

Throughout the entire Yanyang Plane, apart from the two ninth-tier beasts of superior mythical quality left behind by the Li family ancestors, no other beast can surpass the size of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng.
