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

Despite the numerous compliments and flattery, Zhou Heng remained calm and composed throughout.

Because he has experienced far too many similar scenes since he was born.

He was already used to the adulation he received from others.

Inside the combat arena, upon learning that Zhou Heng's Beast Taming had advanced to level twenty-six, the only one who didn't offer any praise was Liu Yao.

Zhou Heng knew what Liu Yao was thinking, but he didn't care.

He's just someone who harms his initial beast tamer, destroys his own defenses, and is out of his mind.

They were never worth his attention.

Liu Yao is only level 17 now, while he is already level 26.

The gap widens as time goes on, and Liu Yao will never catch up in his lifetime.

Actually, relatively speaking, Liu Yao's progress is already quite fast.

However, it is impossible for Liu Yao to make the same rapid progress as Zhou Heng.

First, Zhou Heng's talent is slightly better than Liu Yao's. Second, Zhou Heng has more resources. Third, Zhou Heng's beast taming quality is higher. Fourth, Zhou Heng holds the Spirit Source Pearl, which represents unlimited potential.

These are things that Liu Yao can't compare to.

In addition, Liu Yao had once given the essence of the Thunderflame Flood Dragon to his father's beast, which caused the Thunderflame Flood Dragon's potential to decline.

With this shift in power, Liu Yao will never be able to compare with Zhou Heng, not even in this life or the next.

Of course, it can't be said that Liu Yao isn't outstanding, after all, he has already surpassed most of his peers.

The only thing to blame is that Zhou Heng is too outstanding.

After everyone calmed down, Zhou Heng looked them in the eye and slowly said, "You students don't need to envy me. With your current progress, you will all be able to get into university without any problems in the future."

Chen Hui spread his hands: "How can this be the same? We can probably only get into a third-tier university, but you can definitely get into a first-tier university."

Gao Wenwu said with a worried look, "Yes! The gap between the first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier universities is too big."

Li Lang shrugged: "Be content with being able to go to university! The vast majority of people in ASEAN can't go to university."

Zhang Peng raised his hand, interrupting everyone's conversation: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. There's something I need to tell you all."

Li Lang asked, "Teacher, what is it?"

Zhang Peng then announced: "That's right, the Green Maple Secret Realm is about to open. As a second-tier secret realm, it is very suitable for first- and second-year high school students to go there for training. Some students should make preparations in advance."

Zhou Heng picked up the thread: "I know about the Green Maple Secret Realm. The strongest extraordinary creatures inside are only level 20. It is indeed very suitable for ordinary students to go there for training. However, there are restrictions on entering the secret realm. At most, only second-level senior beast tamers can enter. Third-level elite beast tamers cannot enter."

Zhang Peng said with a sigh, "Yes, it's a real pity you can't go this time. Your strength is too great for the Green Maple Secret Realm. If you force your way in, you'll be expelled once you summon your beast."

Li Lang pressed further, "Teacher, is this the only second-tier secret realm we can choose from? Aren't there any third-tier secret realms?"

Zhang Peng shook his head: "Not yet. The main reason is that no one expected that someone could cultivate their Beast Taming to the third level in the first semester of their first year of high school."

Zhou Heng remained remarkably calm: "It's alright. Even if my level doesn't exceed the limit of the secret realm, I won't easily enter it. My parents once told me, 'A son of a wealthy family shouldn't sit under a dangerous roof.' Entering such a secret realm would completely cut off all contact with the outside world. Even though with my strength, entering such a secret realm wouldn't be dangerous, it's better to be safe than sorry. Although I have a lot of life-saving equipment, I don't want to take any risks."

Chen Hui couldn't help but speak up: "But going into the secret realms for actual combat is beneficial to improving your beast taming skills. Moreover, many secret realms contain rare and precious materials that are not available in the outside world, which are extremely helpful for improving your beast taming level."

Zhou Heng remained expressionless throughout: "My family has many similar man-made secret realms, which are very safe and can be used by family members for training. I will go there during the winter vacation."

Li Lang's eyes lit up: "Ah Heng, I want to go too! Can I come with you?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Of course."

Zhang Peng said to everyone, "Zhou Heng's idea is correct. As a true prodigy, safety is the most important thing. Moreover, Zhou Heng's beast-taming quality is very high. He is already very powerful just by relying on his level and bloodline suppression. He doesn't need to deliberately train. After the beast-taming college entrance examination, he will have plenty of opportunities to train in university."

Tang Tianci's old habit kicked in again; he retorted, "Then why do we need experience?"

Zhang Peng patiently explained, "Because your beasts aren't of good enough quality and aren't high enough level, you don't have an overwhelming advantage against your peers! When competing with peers of similar strength, a stronger fighting spirit will be the key to your victory."

Seeing that the faces of the students other than Zhou Heng had turned rather unpleasant, he explained, "It's not that I'm biased towards Zhou Heng; it's just that I'm teaching according to their aptitude. Do you understand my good intentions?"

Suppressing their differing thoughts, everyone said in unison, "We understand."

"Now that you understand, prepare well! Since the Green Maple Secret Realm is a relatively small secret realm, with an internal area of ​​only a few hundred thousand square kilometers, not too many people can enter at once. According to the Education Bureau's regulations, only two hundred people can enter each year. The ten top-tier Beast Taming High Schools have a total of one hundred spots, with each top-tier Beast Taming High School taking ten spots. The twenty-eight second-tier Beast Taming High Schools have a total of eighty-four spots, with each second-tier Beast Taming High School taking three spots. The remaining hundreds of third-tier Beast Taming High Schools will compete for the last sixteen spots."

Zhang Peng explained the school's arrangements in detail: "I don't know the specifics of how other Beast Taming High Schools allocate places, but our No. 3 High School has five spots for first-year students and five spots for second-year students this year. That means that even if Zhou Heng doesn't enter the Green Maple Secret Realm, you all must be in the top six of your grade to be eligible to enter the Green Maple Secret Realm for training."

Gao Wenwu's face darkened: "So, it seems that He Hongmei, Chen Hui, and I won't be able to enter the Green Maple Secret Realm."

Zhang Peng said gently, "You'll still have a chance next year when you're in your second year of high school."

Li Lang suddenly raised his hand: "Teacher, I don't want to go to the Green Maple Secret Realm either."

Zhang Peng frowned: "Li Lang, although your beast has evolved to low-level diamond quality, appropriate training will still benefit you. Have you really thought this through?"

Standing behind Zhou Heng, Li Lang said happily, "I've made up my mind. When I have a holiday, I'll go to Zhou Heng's family's artificial secret realm for training."

Zhang Peng did not press the matter further, and simply said, "In that case, I will go and talk to the principal later to give your spot to someone else."

Li Lang grinned: "Thank you, teacher."
