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

Zhou Heng sized up Ding Muyang, who had come with Ding Mingqian: "Brother Muyang has also made great progress. He has now trained his main beast, the Meteorite Ice Fox King, to the fourth rank, ninth level. It seems that he should be able to advance to the fifth rank of warrior beast master before he turns sixty."

Ding Muyang is four years older than Zhou Heng's parents, and is already fifty-three years old this year. Although the Meteorite Fox King is of mid-level diamond quality, Ding Muyang is only a B-level talent, so his growth rate is relatively slow.

Ding Muyang bowed and said, "I am ashamed. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I am still only a fourth-level Grandmaster Beast Tamer. The gap between me and you is getting bigger and bigger."

Zhou Heng smiled gently: "More than ten years ago, when Yu Lang and I went to Ice Cloud Star, you specially used the Meteorite Ice Fox King to carry Li Lang and me around Ice Cloud City, taking us to many places. Thinking back on it now, I still find it very interesting."

Ding Muyang was flattered: "It was just a small matter. I didn't expect the young alliance leader to remember it. It's just a pity that the young alliance leader didn't stay in Bingyun City for long at the time. Now that I think about it, I feel that I was not very hospitable. I am extremely apprehensive."

Zhou Heng casually said, "I've been to Ice Cloud City twice, but I didn't get to see all the sights, which is a bit of a pity. If there's a chance in the future, you can take me around again."

Ding Muyang was overjoyed: "As long as the young alliance leader doesn't mind my clumsiness, it would be my honor to serve the young alliance leader."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng chatted with the two for a while.

Ding Mingqian and his son kept trying to please Zhou Heng.

Before leaving, Zhou Heng rewarded them with two sixth-grade low-level Panlong Spirit Fruits.

The two men were extremely grateful to Zhou Heng and expressed their deepest thanks.

Each sixth-grade low-level Panlong Spirit Fruit is worth billions of Alliance Coins, and Ding Mingqian, as a sixth-grade commander peak Beast Tamer, can naturally afford it.

However, Zhou Heng was the minor leader of the alliance, and the gift he personally bestowed was naturally extraordinary, carrying greater significance and immeasurable added value.

After Ding Mingqian and his son took their leave, Zhou Heng picked up his communicator to check the details of this year's Beast Taming College Entrance Examination. He found that this year was similar to last year, with the most talented only reaching S-level, and a total of five fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers were produced.

Di Yan Qingfeng craned her neck: "Dad, what's Yan Dongliang's ranking?"

Zhou Heng found Yan Dongliang's ranking and enlarged it on the screen: "24,622nd place."

Titan Lord couldn't help but sigh, "Only about 50,000 people can participate in the annual Beast Taming College entrance examination. It's really too good for him to have such a high ranking with only a C-level talent."

Zhou Heng smiled and glanced at the Titan Lord: "This is mainly thanks to your Blood Oath Subordinate. As expected of a powerful mythical-level skill, it directly upgraded his Frost Bear from Tier 2, Level 10 to Tier 3, Level 4. And the Frost Bear is of superior gold quality. Even though his talent is a bit lacking, it's not surprising that he could get this ranking."

The Devouring Star Kunpeng then said, "In previous years, although there have been students with C-level talent who were admitted to the Beast Taming University, they were all from particularly good families and had at least contracted a lower-level diamond beast. It seems that it is still a special case for someone with C-level talent to be admitted to the Beast Taming University with a higher-level gold beast."

Zhou Heng put away the communicator: "That's not important. He was just a side move anyway."

Guixu Shenlong said nonchalantly, "The top-tier Beast Taming Universities only accept the top two thousand students, and the second-tier Beast Taming Universities only accept the top twelve thousand students. With Yan Dongliang's ranking, he can only go to the third-tier Beast Taming Universities. Whether he ranks in the top twenty thousand or the top thirty thousand, there is not much difference at all."

The Lucky Qilin King's perspective was more optimistic: "Yan Dongliang was originally out of luck for Beast Taming University, but he was fortunate enough to have his strength suddenly increase with his father's help. Now that he can get into a third-tier Beast Taming University, it can be considered a change of fate."

The Demon Dragon Slayer was not very interested in these things and did not participate in the discussion at all.

Soon, as if on cue, Jian Xu suddenly came in to report that the Yan family patriarch had brought along the Yan family's senior members and Yan Dongliang to express their gratitude to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng waved his hand: "Let them go back! Focus on preparing for school in September. It's nothing important, so don't bother me."

"Yes, sir." Jian Xu accepted the order and left.

Upon receiving the news, the Yan family members were disappointed, but they dared not disobey Zhou Heng's wishes and hurriedly returned to their clan territory.

……

Deep within the Celestial Craft Space, Li Lang is initiating an evolution ritual for a mid-grade diamond-quality Arctic Giant Bear.

As Li Lang continuously poured various sixth- and fifth-tier spiritual items into a huge white ball of light, the Arctic Giant Bear began to transform into a high-level diamond-quality Arctic Bear King.

Not far away, Li Lang's other two beasts, the Six-Horned Flying Dragon King and the Thunderous Wave Turtle, stood guard on either side of him, forming a horn-like formation to protect Li Lang and the Extreme Ice Giant Bear.

Zhou Heng, his parents, and Zhou Hongzheng were all very concerned about Li Lang, so the family of four took the opportunity to come and check on Li Lang's progress.

Upon receiving Zhou Heng's order, the figures of Tianyin Hou and Qianren Hou, who had been guarding this place, appeared from the void.

Marquis Tianyin said, "Junior Uncle, Young Master Li's evolution ceremony for the Frost Giant Bear went very smoothly this time. It won't be long before the Frost Giant Bear evolves into the Frost Bear King. From now on, all three of Young Master Li's tamed beasts will reach the high-grade diamond quality."

Zhou Heng nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, my two junior disciples."

Qianrenhou immediately replied, "Junior Uncle is joking. As seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers, this is nothing more than a small matter. How could it be troublesome?"

Zhou Hong tugged at Zhou Heng's sleeve: "Dad, when will Uncle Lang finish initiating the evolution ritual for the beast tamers?"

Zhou Heng patiently explained, "It usually doesn't take too long for a mid-level diamond-quality beast to evolve into a high-level diamond-quality beast, but it still takes a little while. Judging from his appearance, he should be able to evolve successfully before July."

Zhou Hongzheng nodded: "Uncle Lang should be very happy after the evolution is successful."

Zhou Heng was also happy for Li Lang: "That's right, your Uncle Lang's Six-Horned Flying Dragon King has reached the fifth level of the fourth tier, the Thunderous Wave Turtle has reached the third level of the fourth tier, and the Extreme Ice Giant Bear was originally at the fifth level of the fourth tier. If it can successfully evolve into the Extreme Ice Bear King this time, it should be able to break through to the sixth level of the fourth tier. If we calculate it this way, your Uncle Lang should be able to advance to the fifth-tier Battle General Beastmaster around the age of forty. For an A-level talent, that's already quite impressive."

Zhou Hongzheng continued, "I heard that my grandparents were promoted to fifth-level warrior beast tamers when they were thirty-eight years old."

Zhou Heng patted Zhou Hongzheng's head: "If your grandparents hadn't had a little accident when they were young, they wouldn't have had to wait until they were thirty-eight. They could have advanced to the fifth-tier warrior beast tamer around the age of thirty-five."
