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

"Thank you for your help, Brother Zhou."

As soon as Li's father finished speaking, the Hurricane Griffin King beneath his feet flapped its wings and pulled Li Lang from the back of the Frost Blue Dragon Crane onto its back.

Mr. Zhou didn't think much of it: "It was just a small favor."

Zhou Heng greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Li."

Mr. Li beamed, "Xiao Heng, I heard you've awakened an S-level talent! Like father, like son!"

Zhou Heng gave a perfectly timed smile: "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Li."

Mr. Li instructed his son, "Lang'er, you usually play so well with Xiao Heng, you should learn more from him, okay?"

Li Lang appeared somewhat timid in front of his father: "Yes, Father."

Zhou's father immediately turned to ride away on his Frost Blue Dragon Crane, saying, "Brother Li, I'm going back."

Father Li waved and said, "Take care, brother..."

Li Lang's manor is very close to Zhou Heng's manor.

In the blink of an eye, the Frost Blue Dragon Crane brought Zhou's father and Zhou Heng home.

Upon landing, a group of servants came to greet it, offering various delicious fruits and sweet dew to the Frost Blue Dragon Crane.

The Frost Blue Dragon Crane held its head high, appearing very picky.

Zhou's father then gently lifted Zhou Heng from the back of the Frosty Blue Dragon Crane and leaped to the ground, before leading Zhou Heng into the living room.

Zhou's mother had been waiting for them for a long time.

Zhou Heng looked up and saw a female mermaid with curly golden hair, a golden tail, and a height of over three meters standing next to his mother.

Although the treasure-bearing merman has reached the fifth rank, its physical size has not changed.

Zhou Heng, looking cheerful, came to his mother's side: "Mom, I'm back."

Zhou's mother said gently, "My dear son, please sit down! I'll have the dishes served right away."

Zhou Heng nodded, but didn't sit down. Instead, he turned his gaze to the treasure-bearing merman: "Baozhu, I heard that as long as a diamond-quality beast reaches the fifth rank, it can communicate with humans without any problems. Is that true?"

If it's of Overlord quality, a Tier 4 character can communicate with humans without any obstacles.

If it's of mythical quality, a Tier 3 character can communicate with humans without any obstacles.

Chaotic quality is even more powerful.

Yunbao the merman nodded: "That's right, I can speak your language now, and not just human languages, but the languages ​​of most races."

Zhou Heng gave him a thumbs up: "You're really amazing."

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

With a wave of her hand, the treasure-bearing merman revealed a golden bead in her palm: "This is an energy merman bead that I have carefully condensed. It is extremely pure. Give it to your contracted partner to consume! It will be beneficial."

"Thank you, Baozhu."

Zhou Heng accepted the energy pearl given to him by the treasure-bearing mermaid. A purple light flashed between his brows, and he immediately summoned the Phoenix Azure Phoenix.

"唳~"

As soon as Fengyi Qingluan appeared, she looked warily at Yunbao Mermaid.

Zhou Heng quickly reassured him, "Jiuxiao, don't be afraid. Baozhu is my mother's contracted partner and won't hurt you."

"唳~唳~"

Upon hearing this, Fengyi and Qingluan immediately relaxed a lot.

Then Zhou Heng fed the Energy Shark Pearl to Fengyi Qingluan and then put Fengyi Qingluan back into the Beast Taming Space.

He asked the merman with the treasure, "Where is Jun Ye?"

Yunbao, the merman, pointed: "In the backyard, inside its lair."

Zhou Heng walked through the doorway next to the living room, and after walking straight ahead for a while, he arrived at the garden behind the villa.

To the left of the garden is a crystal-clear lake, to the right are large shrubs and vibrant flowers, to the east is an artificial iceberg, and to the west is an antique-style pavilion.

In the center of the garden stand five giant sycamore trees, each with a trunk diameter of one hundred meters and a height of one thousand meters.

At the top of one of the sycamore trees is a golden bird's nest, 600 meters in diameter, built using the trunk. Inside, a 300-meter-long purplish-black peacock is preening its feathers.

After the Night Peacock was upgraded to the fifth rank, its body length increased by more than a hundred meters.

Zhou Heng looked up and called out, "Jun Ye!"

Upon hearing Zhou Heng's voice, the Night Peacock immediately poked its head out of its golden nest: "Little Heng, you're back from school?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Yes! Today is Thursday."

Yoya no Peacock nodded, without saying much.

It has always been so aloof.

A green elk, about fifty meters tall, heard Zhou Heng's voice and emerged from a grove of trees.

Green vines entwine its body, and flowers bloom on its head.

Zhou Heng's face lit up with joy: "Green Fairy!"

"Yo yo~"

The Hundred-Flower Spirit Deer emitted a unique cry, came to Zhou Heng's side, and then shrunk to about five meters in size, gently lowering its head.

Once a beast reaches the third rank, it can change its size, but this consumes a lot of energy, so they usually maintain their original size.

However, most of the beasts are quite large, and they will choose to shrink their size when necessary.

Zhou Heng reached out and patted the head of the Hundred Flower Spirit Deer, playing with it for a while.

Immediately, the Hundred-Flower Spirit Deer returned to its original size and went back to the low bushes.

The treasure-bearing merman hovered three feet above the ground and flew from the living room to Zhou Heng's side: "Xiao Heng, go eat! Sister Yue Wan and Brother Yuan Ting are waiting for you."

Zhou Heng's mother is named Li Yuewan, and his father is named Zhou Ting.

At the same time, the Zhou family, to which Zhou's father belonged, had a generational naming system, and Zhou's father happened to be in the Yuan generation.

Therefore, Zhou's father can be called either Zhou Ting or Zhou Yuanting.

He usually uses the name Zhou Ting when he is out in public, but he uses the name Zhou Yuanting within the family. Those who are close to him will also call him Yuanting.

Although there is a distinction between master and beast tamer, they are on the surface equal, and master and beast tamer treat their beasts as family members because of the bond of contract.

It's relatively normal for someone like the Treasure Merman to call the Beast Tamer "sister" or "brother."

Many beast tamers also regard their beast tamers as their parents.

Some beast tamers even have indescribable relationships with their beasts.

"Okay, Baozhu, I'll be right there."

Zhou Heng nodded and waved goodbye to Yao Ye Kong Que: "Jun Ye, I'm going back."

The Night Peacock remained aloof, merely nodding slightly.

Afterwards, the treasure-bearing mermaid swam into the lake, and Zhou Heng returned to the living room along the same path he had come from.

The dining table was already laden with various delicacies, and Zhou's father and mother were waiting for him.

He immediately sat down and had a sumptuous dinner with Zhou's parents.

After the meal, several servants came in to clear away the plates and served Zhou Heng a freshly squeezed drink.

Zhou's mother picked up a snow-white silk handkerchief and wiped her hands: "My dear son, are you aware of the subsequent evolutionary path of the Phoenix and Azure Luan?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Thanks to the notes of the seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer that you gave me, I now understand all the evolution paths of the Phoenix Azure Phoenix."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou exchanged a glance: "Heng'er, which one do you want to choose?"
