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

Li Lang agreed with Zhou Heng's words: "You're right. Whether it's the son of the Song family's young patriarch's first wife or his current son, they are both direct descendants of the Song family patriarch, the supreme patriarch, and the ancestor. To them, the two children are the same in blood, so there's no need for favoritism. Naturally, whoever has better talent will be nurtured. Even for the young patriarch of the Song family, choosing the son of his first wife and abandoning his current son would maximize his benefits."

Zhou Heng concluded: "If he continues to be stubborn and dotes on his current son, who is less talented, while neglecting his son from his first wife, then when his son from his first wife grows up, he might become King Cheng of Chu."

Historically, King Cheng of Chu wanted to depose his eldest son and install his younger son in his place. However, the eldest son directly led troops to force the king to abdicate. Before his death, King Cheng of Chu tried to buy time by eating bear paws, but ultimately died a tragic death.

Li Lang looked on with amusement: "It seems that this guy surnamed Song's current wife and youngest son are definitely not going to have a good time in the future."

Zhou Heng nodded: "That's inevitable. There are plenty of cases of brothers killing each other, let alone half-brothers. But the main reason for all this is probably the young patriarch of the Song family. His sons from his first wife and current wife were born only a month apart, which means that he was already involved with his current wife while his first wife was still alive. Moreover, listen to their names. His first wife's son is named Cheng'an, and his current wife's son is named Guanjun. One is just a name that means 'to inherit peace and health,' while the other means 'to be the bravest in the army.' The expectations for these two children are completely different."

Li Lang scoffed, "This guy surnamed Song is really biased. The two names are on completely different levels. Heaven really likes to play jokes. One only wants peace and health, yet he is exceptionally talented, while the other one hopes he will be outstanding, yet he is poorly talented."

Zhou Heng said expressionlessly, "With such a huge gap in talent between the two sides, the son born to the current wife of the young patriarch of the Song family will probably only be able to offer his neck for slaughter."

Unless the current son has some extraordinary adventure, there is no chance of winning.

Li Lang nudged Zhou Heng with his elbow: "This has nothing to do with us. Six A-level talents emerged this year, one more than last year. Doesn't that count as one of your achievements?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Of course, but in the end it depends on how many college students we can produce in three years."

Li Lang had his own assessment: "Even on a level two planet, A-grade talent is enough to guarantee a place in university. Among B-grade talents, there should also be some from well-off families who can attend university. Ultimately, before the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, there should be dozens of people who can advance to the third-tier elite Beast Tamer level."

Zhou Heng instructed, "After these people officially awaken their beast-taming talents, they will go to the Ice Cloud Branch to collect their beast cubs in a couple of days. As the vice president, you need to keep an eye on them."

Li Lang said confidently, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. President Liang and the others have made all the arrangements. It's just a formality."

He continued, "This year, out of respect for you, Xuanxiao Star sent a few more golden-quality cubs. Each of the six A-level talents will receive one, leaving four remaining. It all depends on whose parents among the B-level talents are stronger; that person will be the lucky one."

With Zhou Heng secretly watching, the distribution of beast cubs by the Ice Cloud Star Beast Tamer Guild branch proceeded smoothly.

Soon, all the B-level and A-level talents had been claimed by Beast Taming.

Because Xuanxiao Star sent 150 silver-grade beast tamers and 10 gold-grade beast tamers today, while the total number of B-grade and A-grade talents on Bingyun Star is less than 120.

In the end, more than forty low-grade silver-quality beasts remained and were put up for auction by the Merchants Association under the Beast Tamer Guild.

These were all minor matters, and although Zhou Heng didn't inquire about each one, he kept them all in mind.

Before they knew it, it was October. Taking advantage of the Alliance Anniversary, Zhou Heng handed over all the affairs to Jian Xu and took his parents, son, and six beast tamers back to the Canglan Plane.

I only found out when I got back that my uncle had successfully promoted his main beast to the lower-level overlord.

He had initiated several evolution rituals in previous years, and it wasn't until the ninth time that he finally succeeded.

My uncle is eighty-four years old this year. As a sixth-level commander beast tamer, he looks like he is in his prime. Now that his main beast tamer has reached the level of a lower-level overlord, he looks much more energetic than before.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Uncle."

The uncle laughed heartily, "Congratulations to you too!"

Zhou Heng specifically said, "Uncle is still relatively young. If he can find a way to evolve his main beast tamer to a high-level overlord, there is a possibility that he can break through to become a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer."

Although there was a hint of unease in his eyes, he said, "With my A-level talent, I'm already quite content to have become a sixth-tier Commander Beast Master. Evolving to a High Overlord requires a lot of resources, which can be left for clansmen with better talent."

Zhou Heng said sincerely, "If a distant relative of mine said this, I would naturally agree wholeheartedly. But it's different for you, Uncle. If you can advance to the seventh-level Lord Beast Tamer, your grandparents, parents, and everyone else will be happy for you."

My uncle finally smiled and shook his head: "Let fate decide."

After chatting with his uncle for a few minutes, Zhou Heng took his leave.

He arrived at the place where Zhou's parents lived and said to them, "Dad, Mom, all your tamed beasts have reached the Overlord quality, and your main tamed beast has even advanced to the mid-level Overlord, not far from the high-level Overlord. You should consider continuing to start the evolution ritual to evolve it to the high-level Overlord."

Zhou's mother had a serene and contented look on her face: "We're not even fifty yet, there's no need to rush."

Zhou Heng, however, remained resolute: "The sooner you reach the Upper Overlord level, the sooner you can have peace of mind. After all, it's definitely not something your tamed beasts can achieve in one go if they want to evolve to the Upper Overlord level, so it's absolutely right to start preparing early."

Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly: "Heng'er makes a lot of sense."

Zhou's mother was also persuaded by Zhou Heng: "We don't care about the difference in strength, but if we can advance to the seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer, we can take care of you and Zheng'er for a few more years."

Zhou Heng said softly, "That's why you should take action even more."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou exchanged a glance, their faces showing serious expressions: "We'll listen to you."

Zhou Mu's main tamed beast is the Treasure Gathering Merman, a mid-level overlord, which can evolve into the Treasure-Hidden Merman, a high-level overlord.

Zhou's father's main beast was the mid-level overlord, the Bright Night Peacock, which could evolve into the high-level overlord, the Radiant Moon Peacock.

For these two tamed beasts to evolve into superior overlords, each evolution ritual requires nearly two thousand portions of seventh-tier spiritual items and fifty portions of eighth-tier spiritual items.
