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

After listening to Tao Xubai, the deputy garrison commander of Bingyun Star, Zhou Heng remained calm and said, "It's a small matter. As long as the candidates from Xuanxiao Star haven't been sent to the Golden List Space yet, there's plenty of time."

Even if you've already gone to the Golden List Space, it's not a big deal since the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination rankings haven't officially started yet.

Zhou Heng could send the person over in an instant.

Another deputy garrison commander, Chu Yue, quickly replied, "You're right, I'll set off immediately."

The palm-sized, high-ranking diamond-level beast, the Xuanbing Phoenix Butterfly, flew off Chu Yue's shoulder and then instantly grew to a size of 180 meters.

Chu Yue was the first to fly onto the back of the Xuanbing Phoenix Butterfly.

After bowing to Zhou Heng, the Yan family patriarch also flew up with Principal He of the Crimson Armor Beast Taming High School and Yan Dongliang.

Chu Yue, perched on the back of the Xuanbing Phoenix Butterfly, immediately took out a blue ice crystal token and waved it at the sky. A huge gap immediately appeared in the barrier surrounding Ice Cloud City.

With a sudden flap of its two pairs of wings, the Xuanbing Phoenix Butterfly flew directly out of the barrier's coverage area.

Then, the Xuanbing Phoenix Butterfly tore through space and rushed toward Xuanxiao Star at top speed.

Tao Xubai, the deputy garrison commander who stayed behind, also took out a blue token and waved it at the sky. The gap that appeared in the barrier above immediately closed.

Zhou Heng also had something similar to the blue token.

However, his was a small red seal and a red token, which represented both his identity as the guardian of Crimson Armor Star and his ability to control the barrier above Crimson Armor City.

Zhou Heng casually asked, "Deputy Garrison Commander Tao, how many students on Ice Cloud Star are taking the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination this year? And how many students on the third-level planets under Ice Cloud Star's jurisdiction are taking the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination?"

Tao Xubai respectfully replied, "This year, a total of twenty-three students on Bingyun Star advanced to the third-tier elite beast tamer level before the college entrance examination. As for the sixteen third-tier planets under Bingyun Star, apart from Chijia Star, which you personally oversee, not a single student on the other third-tier planets has advanced to the third-tier elite beast tamer level."

Zhou Heng encouraged Tao Xubai, saying, "I remember that there are over a billion people living on Bingyun Star. It's quite good that there are more than twenty students who can train their Beast Taming to the third level before the college entrance examination each year."

Tao Xubai showered Zhou Heng with excessive praise, saying, "For decades, not a single university student had emerged from Chijia Star. But as soon as you arrived, a university student appeared on Chijia Star immediately. This shows that Chijia Star is developing better and better under your governance, like a withered tree coming back to life. Everyone says that you are exceptionally talented, a rare genius throughout history. But in my opinion, not only is your talent in beast taming unparalleled, but your talents in other areas are also top-notch, making others feel inferior."

Zhou Heng joked, "Deputy Garrison Commander Tao's mouth is truly eloquent."

Tao Xubai smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Young Alliance Leader."

He immediately extended his hand: "Young Alliance Leader, I have already had fine wine and delicacies prepared. Please do me the honor of coming to my residence for a chat."

Zhou Heng shook his head: "No rush, take me to see Senior Lei Yu first."

"Lord Lei Yu has been sleeping in the Radiant Flame Blessed Land for some time now. I will take you to find him." Tao Xubai's brows glowed with blue light, summoning a two-thousand-meter-long Crimson Flame Dragon Steed.

Zhou Heng, with his six tamed beasts, flew first to the top of the Crimson Flame Dragon Steed, which stiffened instantly.

It's hard for a high-quality diamond-grade Crimson Flame Dragon Steed not to feel fear when facing six mythical-quality beasts.

Fortunately, Tao Xubai, the deputy garrison commander of Bingyun Star, and Liang Shuqin, the branch president of Bingyun, also quickly flew to the head of the Crimson Flame Dragon Steed.

Thanks to the reassurance of its own beast tamer, the Crimson Flame Dragon Steed did not collapse to the ground.

Under Tao Xubai's command, the Crimson Flame Dragon Steed stomped its four hooves and charged into the sky, plunging headfirst into a red portal and entering the Radiant Flame Blessed Land.

The scene inside the Radiant Flame Blessed Land was not much different from when Zhou Heng came last time. Gold and red were the main colors, and various trees burning with flames could be seen everywhere. There were countless birds and beasts with bright feathers.

The Crimson Flame Dragon Steed led Zhou Heng and the others to the depths of the Radiant Flame Blessed Land. On a mountaintop burning with golden flames, a giant bird nest made of colorful flowers was fast asleep, where a red giant bird, 60,000 meters in size, was sleeping soundly.

This giant red bird is the guardian beast of Ice Cloud Star, the Radiant Flame Crimson Bird, a mid-level overlord beast at the peak of the seventh rank.

Zhou Heng had seen it more than ten years ago.

The moment Zhou Heng arrived, the Radiant Double-Eyed Bird immediately opened its eyes. It was born with double pupils, with two pupils in each eye, which was extremely strange.

Tao Xubai and Liang Shuqin quickly bowed and greeted Lord Lei Yu.

The Radiant Flame Bird immediately perked up, changing from a lying to a standing position. Then, it bowed its head to Zhou Heng, appearing extremely respectful: "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader!"

Although it was just a beast tamer, as a seventh-tier beast tamer, it was very well-informed. More than ten years had passed since Zhou Heng became the minor leader of the alliance, and it had known about it long ago.

Zhou Heng said gently, "Senior Lei Yu, there's no need to be so polite. Let's just get along as before."

A look of shock, admiration, and emotion appeared in the double pupils of the Radiant Flame Bird: "It's been over ten years since I last saw the Young Alliance Leader. I never imagined that you would already be a sixth-tier Commander Beast Tamer, and not just any ordinary sixth-tier Commander Beast Tamer. You've already made significant strides among sixth-tier Commander Beast Tamers. Truly worthy of being the Supreme Alliance Leader's disciple, the Young Alliance Leader's talent is truly unprecedented and unparalleled!"

Zhou Heng said nonchalantly, "This is just the standard configuration for an SSS-level talent; it's nothing special."

The Blazing Flame Bird, eager to curry favor with Zhou Heng, praised him effusively: "Eight years ago, when our little alliance leader took the college entrance exam, he directly cultivated his main beast tamer to the fifth tier, third level, becoming the record-breaking top scorer in the alliance, surpassing all previous beast tamers who awakened SSS-level talents. This alone proves that even among those with SSS-level talents, our little alliance leader is the most outstanding! Seeing our little alliance leader again today further confirms my point of view; our little alliance leader is definitely more powerful than the average SSS-level talent."

"Senior Lei Yu, you flatter me."

Zhou Heng was always humble and open-minded: "Over six thousand years have passed, and including myself, there are only thirteen Beast Tamers in the Eastern Alliance who have awakened SSS-level talents. Each of them possesses an extremely powerful SSS-level talent and can be described as having their own strengths. Although my second talent, the Lord of Spiritual Source, has its unique aspects, I dare not say that I am necessarily more powerful than the dozen or so sages before me."
