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

In September, high schools on Bingyun Star gradually reopened.

Because high school is part of compulsory education in this era, all ten million students who turned eighteen this year can enter high school. However, about nine million nine hundred thousand of them can only attend regular high schools, and only one hundred thousand can attend Beast Taming High School.

Because the ratio of people with beast-taming talent is about one in a hundred, only one out of a hundred ordinary people can become a beast tamer.

As a secondary planet, Bingyun Star's best beast-taming high schools are only second-rate, with a total of ten, plus a hundred third-rate beast-taming high schools. Although it cannot compare to Xuanxiao Star, it is still much stronger than Chijia Star.

The awakening ceremony was scheduled shortly after the new students enrolled.

Zhou Heng sent people to keep watch in advance. If any promising talents appeared, he would give them a reward on the spot and record it for special training.

On the highest floor of the Ice Cloud Garrison, Zhou Heng stood, his silver cloak fluttering in the cold wind, with Li Lang beside him, overlooking Ice Cloud City.

Zhou Heng's eyes shone with purple light, and his powerful spiritual energy surged forth, covering the more than two million square kilometers of Ice Cloud City in the blink of an eye.

The closest high school to the Ice Cloud Garrison is Ice Cloud No. 1 High School, which is ten kilometers away in a straight line and is one of the top ten second-rate beast-taming high schools on Ice Cloud Star.

This year, Bingyun No. 1 High School enrolled more than 5,000 young beast tamers with beast taming talent. As the principal of Bingyun No. 1 High School stood on the high platform and continuously called out one name after another, these young beast tamers walked up to the high platform and placed their hands on the standard black stone tablet, which lit up with various different colors.

Li Lang stroked his chin: "Are all the Awakening Stone Tablets in the East Alliance the same? The Awakening Stone Tablet we used back in Xuanxiao No. 3 Middle School was square and nine meters tall. How come it's still the same here on Bingyun Star?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "The technique for making the Awakening Stele is very simple. To be fair, every Beast Taming High School uses the same one."

Li Lang then asked, "Do you think we'll see a few promising talents emerge this year? Will any S-level talents appear?"

Zhou Heng said calmly, "Last year, Ice Cloud Star produced five A-level talents, and this year should be about the same. It's hard to say about S-level talents. Although theoretically, the larger the population base, the higher the probability of good talents appearing, the awakening of all beast taming talents is random. We'll find out as we watch."

The two chatted for more than half an hour at the top of the garrison. Among the more than 100,000 teenagers with beast-taming talent in this year's class of Ice Cloud Star, not to mention S-level talent, not even an A-level talent appeared. The best one was a teenager in No. 1 who awakened a B-level talent.

After waiting for another half hour, a dense blue light suddenly rose from the southeast corner of Ice Cloud City, forming a thin pillar of light. Although it was not exactly towering, it was still quite conspicuous, at least according to Zhou Heng's spiritual perception.

"The first A-level talent this year actually came from No. 7 Middle School." Although Li Lang's mental strength was not as good as Zhou Heng's, he could still see the blue beam of light with his naked eye.

After the first A-level talent appeared, the principal of Bingyun No. 7 Middle School was overjoyed and immediately promised a large reward.

The Grand Prefect of the Garrison Command of Ice Cloud Star and the Commander-in-Chief of the War Preparations descended upon the boy who had awakened an A-level talent, riding their fifth-tier beasts. They immediately presented each of the boy's parents with a reward of two million Alliance Coins.

This was all arranged by Zhou Heng, the garrison commander, according to custom.

The boy's parents, who were originally ordinary people, were overwhelmed with joy and burst into tears on the spot.

Li Lang recalled the past: "Back then, I also awakened an A-level talent, but there wasn't such a grand scene. Principal Wan just noted down my name and reported it to the Xuanxiao Garrison. This child's treatment is quite similar to the scene when you awakened your first S-level talent; both were surrounded by admirers."

Zhou Heng also recalled what happened back then: "Although A-level talents are good, they are not uncommon on Xuanxiao Star, so you only need to remember their names. But on Bingyun Star, they are extremely rare, so it's normal for them to receive extraordinary treatment."

Li Lang nodded: "Ice Cloud Star is ultimately just a level two planet. The A-level talent here is roughly equivalent to the S-level talent on Xuanxiao Star."

After that, as time went on, several more promising talents with A-level abilities emerged.

Ultimately, after all 110+ Beast Taming High Schools and over 100,000 first-year students had awakened their Beast Taming talents, a total of over 100 first-year students with B-level talents and six first-year students with A-level talents appeared on the entire Ice Cloud Star.

As for S-level talents, not a single one appeared.

During this time, Zhou Heng and Li Lang also witnessed a farce.

The young patriarch of the Song family, one of the five major families on Bingyun Star, has two sons who have awakened their beast-taming talents at Bingyun No. 1 Middle School this year.

Of the two sons, the one who is a month older is the son of the first wife and is named Song Cheng'an, while the one who is a month younger is the son of the current wife and is named Song Guanjun.

The first wife of the young patriarch of the Song family suffered an accident during childbirth and died shortly after giving birth to their son.

The son of the first wife lost his mother at a young age and was not favored, but he awakened an A-level talent.

The son of his current wife has always been pampered, but he has only awakened the worst F-level talent.

Two half-brothers of the same age had a fierce argument in public.

However, the young patriarch of the Song family, who had always favored his current son, surprisingly sided with his son from his first marriage.

The current son was still a bit confused and planned to continue making trouble, but he was slapped in the face on the spot, in a physical sense.

The young patriarch of the Song family, disgusted by his embarrassment, slapped him hard several times.

His current wife could only stand by and weep silently.

The son of the first wife, on the other hand, was triumphant. His previously timid expression relaxed, and his somewhat hunched back straightened up.

It gave everyone present a good show.

Even Zhou Heng and Li Lang, who were far away, got caught up in the drama.

Li Lang couldn't help but think of himself: "It really is all about talent! All parents in the world are the same."

Zhou Heng analyzed, "The young patriarch of the Song family has no choice. No matter how much he dotes on his current son, there's nothing he can do. Because he's just the young patriarch, and above him are the patriarch, the supreme patriarch, the ancestor, and a whole series of other people."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Originally, only the current patriarch of the Song family possessed an A-level talent; the best among the rest was only B-level. The son born to the Song family's young patriarch's first wife awakened an A-level talent. Regardless of how unloved he was before, he will henceforth be cultivated as the pillar of the Song family, unless someone with even better talent emerges. However, S-level talents are not so easy to come by, and the Song family is merely a wealthy clan. Even the Bai Ma Wei family, as a prominent clan, waited decades before producing someone with an S-level talent like Wei Qingwen. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, the son of the first wife will become the highest-ranking person in the Song family in the future."
