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

"That's a very good question."

Zhou Heng reached out and scratched the purple scales covering the Demonic Dragon's chin: "I haven't tried the specifics yet, but I'll know when I do. However, we can't try things randomly now, as it will consume spiritual energy. Let's wait until you reach the peak of the sixth rank. Trying now might slow down your progress."

After pondering, the Lucky Qilin King came to a conclusion: "Since Father's second talent can help us deduce the subsequent evolutionary path, can Father use this to directly advance to a Mythical Breeder?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "In a sense, if I really did that, it would be equivalent to discovering a completely new evolutionary path."

Di Yan Qingfeng immediately said, "Congratulations, Father!"

Zhou Heng smiled and explained, "However, I still can't relax my research on the cultivators themselves. The exact amount of spiritual energy required to deduce the evolution ritual is affected by various factors. The higher my cultivator level, the less it is consumed. According to my research, spiritual energy is essentially a power that can create something from nothing. The easier the task, the less spiritual energy is consumed. Conversely, the more difficult the task, the more spiritual energy is consumed. In other words, spiritual energy allows one to skip the process and reap the result, and the closer you get to the result, the less spiritual energy you consume."

Guixu Divine Dragon concluded, "I understand Father's meaning. Although the power of spiritual source is miraculous, we cannot stop working hard because of it. Only by advancing on both fronts simultaneously can we climb to the peak faster and more steadily."

Zhou Heng's face showed an expression of "you're a quick learner": "You understand it very well."

Afterwards, the six tamed beasts chattered around Zhou Heng for a while before Zhou Heng led them back to the breeding base.

……

A day later, Zhou Heng summoned Li Lang.

He said to Li Lang, "I'm about to graduate with my doctorate, and I need to go back to Hanyue University to attend the graduation ceremony. I'll be away for the next few days, so could you keep an eye on things for me?"

Li Lang immediately replied, "Don't worry, I can handle this perfectly well."

Zhou Heng then revealed another piece of news: "Also, after I attend the graduation ceremony, I will be going to Ice Cloud Star to serve as its garrison commander, so you should prepare in advance."

Li Lang blurted out, "You're not going to be stationed on Xuanxiao Star as a garrison commander again, are you?"

Zhou Heng did not hide anything from Li Lang: "I do have this idea. As my strength continues to change, I can go from guarding a level three planet to guarding a core planet, and finally succeed as the leader of the alliance."

Li Lang looked into Zhou Heng's eyes: "Whether you become a garrison commander or an alliance leader, as long as you don't mind that my strength can't keep up with your pace, I'm willing to follow you."

"No matter where I get promoted in the future, I will take you with me. I can't trust just anyone." After Zhou Heng finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

The next instant, he appeared inside the Cold Moon Cave.

Upon returning to Hanyue University, his first stop was to visit his fourth senior brother, Rongtu Wang.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Senior brother, I'm back."

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tu Wang looked Zhou Heng up and down, then put his arm around Zhou Heng's arm and smiled with satisfaction: "The graduation ceremony is already being prepared, and we're just waiting for you. In all the years since the founding of Hanyue University, you are the strongest graduate among all graduates, having cultivated your Beast Taming to the unprecedented sixth rank, fifth level. I hope you can give a speech as an outstanding graduate and encourage your juniors."

This year's graduates include not only the doctoral students like Zhou Heng who enrolled eight years ago, but also graduate students who enrolled six years ago without contracted overlord beast taming skills, plus undergraduate students who enrolled four years ago and whose talents are below S-level.

Zhou Heng readily agreed: "No problem."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang led Zhou Heng to the lakeside near his office. The two admired the surrounding scenery and chatted as they walked.

Zhou Heng's six tamed beasts shrank in size and followed behind the two.

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tuwang casually asked, "What are your plans after graduation?"

Zhou Heng reached out and plucked a fragrant red leaf from a roadside tree branch, playing with it in his hand: "I plan to continue serving as the planet's guardian in the government office. My next step is to go to a level two planet."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang was very supportive: "The position of planet guardian is quite special, and the burden on them is also quite heavy. As the junior leader of the alliance, and being relatively young, it is indeed most suitable for you to take on the role of planet guardian."

Facing those close to him, Zhou Heng naturally spoke the truth: "Actually, it's not too bad. As a planetary guardian, I have a large group of people under me. If there are any problems, I can delegate them to my subordinates. The most important responsibility of a planetary guardian is to protect the planet when the Ten Great Evil Races launch an attack. But as you know, the frequency with which the Evil Race universe sends powerful individuals to our side has decreased significantly. Many planetary guardians don't even encounter a single powerful Evil Race member during their term of office."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang gently cautioned, "Junior Brother, although we are currently at peace, we cannot let our guard down. As long as the Evil Race universe exists, it will be a huge threat to our human universe."

Zhou Heng understood that what his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, said was invaluable advice: "I understand what you mean, senior brother. Better safe than sorry. I will pay more attention to this in the future."

The smile on the face of the fourth senior brother, Rongtu Wang, grew even wider.

Looking at the Void Realm Heavenly Serpent, an eighth-order beast that was 300,000 meters long, in the lake, Zhou Heng couldn't help but say, "How come Senior Brother's main beast has become much larger than before, and its aura is also much stronger? It seems that it must have broken through its realm not long ago."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang spoke modestly, but couldn't hide his joy: "I've made some progress, it's nothing."

Zhou Heng was genuinely happy for his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang: "Congratulations, senior brother! After advancing to the eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamer, the effort and time required for each step forward are unimaginable."

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tu Wang said to Zhou Heng, "Including you, only three people from our Cold Moon University are graduating with doctorates this year. Ling Yisheng and Yan Haosen have also returned."

"Perfect timing, I'll go see them." Zhou Heng's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Ling Yisheng and Yan Haosen.

The two men were sitting in an octagonal pavilion, playing chess made from the crystal cores of extraordinary organisms. Next to them sat Yan Haosen's wife, Qiao Xinrui.

The unique feature of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng's powerful skill, "Roaming the Four Directions of the Universe," lies in this: even if you don't know the exact location of the other party, as long as you've seen them or know their name, you can appear beside them.

Therefore, Zhou Heng, who shared the powerful skills of the Star Devouring Kunpeng, only needed a thought to find Ling Yisheng and Yan Haosen.
