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

Zhou Heng scoffed, "It's just a third-tier spirit fruit, how can it be as miraculous as you make it out to be?"

Li Lang solemnly replied, "Although the Soul-Nourishing Peach is only a top-grade third-tier spiritual fruit, its price is higher than some fourth-tier spiritual fruits, so its effects are naturally extraordinary! Ah Heng, thank you so much this time."

Zhou Heng smiled knowingly: "What are you thanking me for? We're good brothers, it's only right."

The rest of the group followed closely behind and released their tamed beasts.

Tang Tianci's tamed beast is a Purple-Eyed Fire Fox, a mid-grade gold quality beast, only level seven.

As for Chen Hui's Azure Demon Tiger, Yu Li's Golden Feather Snow Eagle, and Xu Yaya's Unicorn Dragon Carp, they are all of lower-grade gold quality and are only level seven.

Among these people, Tang Tianci's father was a fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer and his mother was a third-tier Elite Beast Tamer, so he wasn't ranked too low when choosing a beast, and thus got a mid-tier gold-quality beast.

Chen Hui, Yu Li, and Xu Yaya's parents are all third-tier elite beast tamers. Among all the A-level talent students, they are in the middle in choosing their beasts, so their beasts are of lower-grade gold quality.

The most tragic cases were Gao Wenwu and He Hongmei.

Gao Wenwu's father was only a first-level apprentice beast tamer, while his mother was an ordinary person without any beast taming talent.

He Hongmei's parents were both ordinary people without any talent for controlling beasts.

Therefore, they all lined up at the back to receive the beast cubs.

Moreover, their family didn't have enough money to support them in acquiring better beast cubs.

Therefore, their tamed beasts are all only of high-grade silver quality.

One is a Black Fiend Wolf, and the other is a Savage Stone Bull; both are only level four at the start.

This year, the number of gold-quality beast cubs is less than the number of A-level talent students, so among A-level talents, students from poorer families are at a significant disadvantage this year.

They couldn't even get a gold-quality beast cub; they could only contract silver-quality beast cubs.

However, some powerful high-ranking silver-quality beast cubs can sometimes be sold for over 40 to 50 million, so for Gao Wenwu and He Hongmei, the Black Fiend Wolf and the Savage Stone Ox, which are now discounted, are their best choices.

Zhang Peng glanced at Gao Wenwu and He Hongmei a few more times, a hint of regret on his face.

These two are quite talented, but their family background held them back.

"Students, your contract partners have all been seen by your teachers, and they all have great potential."

Zhang Peng composed himself and said, "Our Rocket Class is already the best class in No. 3 Middle School, but there are still rankings within the class. The first place in the Rocket Class will receive a reward of one million yuan every month, the second place will receive 900,000 yuan, the third place will receive 800,000 yuan, and so on."

Li Lang became interested: "Teacher, how should we rank them?"

Zhang Peng said seriously, "At our Beast Taming School, the ranking method is naturally based on the beast taming's actual combat ability!"

Zhou Heng and Liu Yao weren't particularly concerned about the money, but the top two spots would clearly be between them.

Gao Wenwu and He Hongmei desperately needed the money, but unfortunately, they were absolutely not going to be first or second.

At first glance, they are at the bottom.

Li Lang, Tang Tianci, Yu Li, Xu Yaya, and Chen Hui each had their own thoughts.

They couldn't beat Zhou Heng and Liu Yao, but they didn't want to lose to someone of the same level.

"In this first lesson, you haven't fought each other yet, so for now, you'll be ranked according to your beast-taming level. Afterward, if any of you are dissatisfied with the person above you, you can issue a challenge. The other person cannot refuse. If you win, you will automatically take their place. If you lose, there is no penalty. However, you only have one chance per month."

Zhang Peng explained the rules: "After the challenge ends, you can't challenge the opponent again for a month. If you want to change your ranking, you'll have to wait until next month. Do you understand?"

The nine trainees said in unison, "We understand."

Zhang Peng took out a booklet and made relevant notes: "First, according to the ranking of the beast tamers, the first place is Zhou Heng, the second place is Liu Yao, the third place is Li Lang, the fourth place is Tang Tianci, the fifth place is Yu Li, the sixth place is Xu Yaya, the seventh place is Chen Hui, the eighth place is Gao Wenwu, and the ninth place is He Hongmei."

Liu Yao was the first to step forward: "Teacher, I want to challenge Zhou Heng!"

Zhang Peng instructed Zhou Heng and Liu Yao: "During the challenge, you must not attack the Beastmaster. You can use your talents, and you can admit defeat at any time. Falling off the stage or returning your contracted partner to the Beastmaster space also counts as a loss."

Liu Yao glanced at Zhou Heng, then immediately led the Thunder Flame Flood Dragon onto the arena.

Li Lang clenched his fist in an encouraging gesture: "Ah Heng, keep it up! Give him a good beating!"

Zhou Heng didn't say anything and walked directly onto the arena. The phoenix and blue luan that had been flying around his head followed him.

Zhang Peng brought the Silver Serpent of the Sky to the side of the arena, hovering in the air, ready to intervene at any moment.

As a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer, he was already able to share some of the skills of the beasts he had contracted.

Although its power cannot compare to that of a beast tamer performing a ritual, it still has many wonderful uses.

"Three, two, one..."

Zhang Peng's raised hand slammed down: "Begin!"

On the arena, Zhou Heng launched the first attack: "Nine Heavens, use the Phoenix Harmony!"

"Hey!"

A short cry rang out, and an invisible sound wave struck the Thunderflame Flood Dragon.

"howl!"

The Thunder Flame Dragon let out a shrill scream, its sixteen-meter-long body tumbling incessantly on the platform, appearing to be in great pain.

The giant ice bear below the stage watched this scene and couldn't help but shrink its ten-meter-tall body behind Li Lang.

It's been traumatized by the Phoenix and Azure Phoenix.

Liu Yao's expression changed on the stage. While frantically activating the Beast Taming Contract in his mind, he shouted, "Ao Lei, quickly use the Thunderflame Armor!"

Hearing Liu Yao's command, and with the Beast Taming Contract flashing continuously in its mind, the Thunder Flame Flood Dragon endured the pain and barely mustered its strength. Purple flames and golden lightning bolts appeared on its body, like armor protecting its entire body.

This skill not only possesses powerful defensive capabilities but also has a certain healing effect.

However, Zhou Heng wouldn't give the Thunder Flame Dragon a chance to recover: "Nine Heavens, use Azure Phoenix Soaring to the Moon!"

The Phoenix Azure Luan's head shone brightly, and then a blue phantom of the Azure Luan struck the Thunder Flame Flood Dragon like a sharp sword.

Bang!

The Thunder Flame Dragon froze, immediately stopping in place.

At this point, Fengyi Qingluan can once again use the phrase "Luanfeng Heming".

Zhou Heng's expression turned solemn: "Jiuxiao, use the Harmonious Cry of the Phoenix and Luan!"

"Hey!"

Phoenix and Azure Luan cried out, and another invisible sound wave struck the Thunder Flame Flood Dragon.

"howl!"

The Thunder Flame Flood Dragon let out another painful scream.

Zhou Heng completely controlled the rhythm of the arena: "Nine Heavens! First use Protective Radiance! Then use Phoenix Wing Slash!"
