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

Tang Tianci, as Liu Yao's subordinate, stood beside Liu Yao without saying a word.

The other classmates noticed the discord between Zhou Heng and Liu Yao, and either watched with amusement or remained indifferent.

"My dad told me that although they are all S-level talents, some of them are even more powerful!"

Li Lang praised Zhou Heng highly: "Your Night God's Miracle Protection can be said to be among the top, or even the strongest, of the S-level talents. If it weren't for its short duration, it could definitely become an SS-level talent! Even so, it is still comparable to some of the weaker SS-level talents."

Zhou Heng wasn't blinded by victory: "While Night God's Miracle Protection is powerful, it's still far from being an SS-level talent!"

Zhang Peng, however, praised from the side, "Li Lang is right, Zhou Heng's talent is indeed among the most outstanding of the S-level talents!"

Li Lang was extremely pleased with himself: "See, I was right, wasn't I? Teacher Zhang said so."

Seeing this, Zhou Heng could only smile and remain silent.

Zhang Peng then looked at the other seven students and encouraged them, "The rest of you shouldn't be discouraged. As long as you work hard, you will also reap the rewards."

All seven said, "Thank you for your encouragement, teacher."

Zhang Peng, holding the folder, asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to take on the challenge?"

Tang Tianci jumped out immediately: "Teacher, I want to challenge Li Lang!"

He was determined to get revenge for Liu Yao, but he knew he was no match for Zhou Heng, so he could only turn his attention to Li Lang, who was closest to Zhou Heng.

Li Lang's face was full of disdain: "Your Purple-Eyed Fire Fox is only a mid-grade gold quality, and its level is even lower than mine. What qualifications do you have to challenge me?"

Tang Tianci, however, was determined: "Everyone has one chance to challenge you, and you can't refuse."

Li Lang instantly flew into a rage: "You want to lose? I'll grant your wish!"

Li Lang led his beasts to the arena first, followed closely by Tang Tianci.

With Zhang Peng's command to begin, both sides simultaneously directed their beasts to launch an attack.

The Frost Bear has three powerful skills: Frost Palm, Frost Spear, and Iceberg Guardian.

The Purple-Eyed Fire Fox also has three powerful skills: Blazing Foxfire, Purple Bewitching Eyes, and Fire Tail Escape.

At the beginning, the small-sized Purple-Eyed Fire Fox, only two meters long, used its Fire Tail Escape to keep the Frost Giant Bear at bay.

The ten-meter-tall Frost Giant Bear appeared rather clumsy when standing, its Frost Palm and Frost Spear failing to hit the Purple-Eyed Fire Fox at all.

Fortunately, the Purple-Eyed Fire Fox's blazing foxfire couldn't break through the Frost Giant Bear's iceberg defenses.

After that, Purple-Eyed Fire Fox used Purple Enchanting Eyes.

This skill can create illusions, effectively confusing enemies, especially low-level beast tamers whose intelligence is not particularly high.

However, because Zhou Heng had given Li Lang a Soul-Nourishing Peach, the Frost Giant Bear's soul power had been enhanced. With Li Lang directing from the side, ordinary illusions simply could not control the Frost Giant Bear.

So the two sides were deadlocked, but the Frost Giant Bear had great endurance and was of a higher level. If the fight dragged on until the end, the Purple-Eyed Fire Fox would definitely lose.

After playing for a while, Tang Tianci took the lead in using his talent.

A-grade talent, basic fire-type combat power boost.

Once activated, it directly increases the combat power of fire-type beasts by 50% for ten minutes, with a cooldown period of ten days.

This is a talent similar to Liu Yao's, but much weaker.

After Tang Tianci activated his talent, Li Lang also activated his talent.

Grade A talent: Holy Light Protection.

The Frost Giant Bear's injuries were immediately fully healed, and it gained 300% defense, which lasted for a full hour.

Tang Tianci's talent time only lasts for ten minutes.

Therefore, after the Purple-Eyed Fire Fox attacked desperately for ten minutes, the Frost Giant Bear remained unharmed, not even losing a few hairs.

Finally, the Purple-Eyed Fire Fox ran out of energy and was exhausted, allowing the Frost Giant Bear to easily defeat it.

Zhang Peng had already predicted the outcome of this battle: "Tang Tianci's challenge failed, and Li Lang successfully defended his title!"

Li Lang's face beamed with excitement: "Tang Tianci, was your Purple-Eyed Fire Fox just giving my Little Ice a gua sha treatment?"

Tang Tianci gritted his teeth: "Don't be so smug! The first year of high school has just begun. We'll have plenty of opportunities to settle this later."

Li Lang, arrogant and domineering, sneered, "Others might say that, but do you deserve it? Your Purple-Eyed Fire Fox is countered by my Frost Giant Bear, your talent is countered by mine, I crush you in every way! Let me tell you, as long as I'm here, you will always be my defeated foe!"

Tang Tianci trembled with rage: "You..."

"Alright, you two, don't be discouraged if you lost, and don't be arrogant if you won."

Zhang Peng quickly stepped forward to stop the two: "You are both promising students who can easily get into university. The future is bright for you. Don't limit yourselves to the gains and losses you have now."

Upon hearing this, Li Lang and Tang Tianci both calmed down: "Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

After that, Yu Li, Xu Yaya, Chen Hui, Gao Wenwu, and He Hongmei did not choose to challenge anyone and maintained their original rankings.

"Alright, now that everyone has finished the challenge, the rankings are finalized! Zhou Heng remains the undisputed number one."

Zhang Peng announced the final results: "The rest of you need to work harder! According to your rankings, the school will transfer the prize money to your cards shortly, so please be ready to receive it."

Everyone replied, "Yes, teacher."

"You can train freely from now on. After lunch, the afternoon class will also be my practical class. You can arrange your own schedule."

Zhang Peng's teaching method is very relaxed: "I'll have someone send you the practical course materials later. You must review them several times. Once you have a solid grasp of the theoretical knowledge, you can also improve your practical skills. Do you understand?"

The nine people looked delighted: "We understand."

Zhang Peng put away the folder containing everyone's battle records: "If you have any questions during training, feel free to ask me anytime."

Everyone said in unison, "Okay."

In the following days, Zhou Heng and others attended several more practical training sessions.

In high school, Beast Tamers have both practical and theoretical classes.

The theoretical courses are further divided into many sub-courses, among which the most important are General Knowledge of Beast Taming, Basic Cultivation Theory, Basic Potion Theory, and Basic Forging Theory.

The courses on the history of the Alliance and the introduction to hostile races are only meant to be touched upon at this stage.

However, the most important part is still the practical courses.

Because the college entrance examination only tests practical skills, but theoretical knowledge involves research and learning during university, it cannot be completely eliminated.

Before we knew it, it was Thursday afternoon. After finishing the last lesson on the history of the league, the week was over.
