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

Gao Wenwu's Black Fiend Wolf leveled up two more times, reaching level nine.

Although he improved his beast-taming level quickly thanks to his talent, he was no match for Xu Yaya and Chen Hui.

Because both Xu Yaya and Chen Hui have talents that can be used in battle, and their beast taming quality is lower-grade gold, which is naturally stronger than the upper-grade silver Black Fiend Wolf.

As for He Hongmei's Wild Stone Ox, it only reached level six, which is at the bottom.

But you can't blame her for that, because her talent is the least useful among A-level talents.

After everyone had demonstrated their beast taming abilities, Zhang Peng immediately gave a summary.

Of all these, Zhou Heng was the one who surprised him the most.

"Zhou Heng, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Not only is your talent the strongest among everyone, but you're also the most hardworking!"

Zhang Peng looked at Zhou Heng as if he had found a treasure: "This weekend I went to No. 7 Middle School and Xuehu High School to inquire about the other two S-level talent students on Xuanxiao Star. Although they received the full support of No. 7 Middle School and Xuehu High School, they can only be compared with Liu Yao. There is a huge gap between them and you! You are now the uncrowned king among the freshmen of Xuanxiao Star."

Zhou Heng smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, teacher."

……

On Wednesday afternoon, after school, Zhou Heng had just finished dinner and was preparing to train Feng Yi and Qing Luan for a while when Li Lang suddenly arrived at his villa.

Zhou Heng immediately invited Li Lang to sit down.

Li Lang, unusually serious, asked, "Ah Heng, do you know about Yu Li's matter?"

Zhou Heng asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Li Lang said coldly, "He went to the regular classes and the classes with poor students to borrow money."

Zhou Heng didn't take it seriously: "It's his business if he borrows money, what does it have to do with me?"

"His loan isn't the kind you're thinking of; it's a loan he'll never pay back. It's like extorting protection money, you understand?"

Li Lang said indignantly, "It's said that he recruited students from both regular classes and struggling student classes, paying anywhere from fifty or sixty to two or three hundred per student. It may not seem like much, but with twenty classes and over twenty-five thousand students, he made several million yuan from this!"

Zhou Heng was taken aback: "How could he, all by himself, collect so much protection money from tens of thousands of people?"

Li Lang explained, "He first found the strongest person among the twenty classes, beat them into submission, and then collected the protection money through them."

Zhou Heng was puzzled: "Yu Li's parents are at least third-tier beast tamers, and he ranks fifth in the Rocket Class, which gives him a monthly bonus of 600,000. Does he really need money?"

"For an ordinary person, having this much income would naturally mean they wouldn't lack money, but we are beast tamers. If we want to raise a powerful beast, no amount of money is ever enough!"

Li Lang sighed: "Besides, his collecting protection money has something to do with you too."

Zhou Heng was speechless: "Don't talk nonsense, what does this have to do with me?"

"Your improvement rate is too fast. The Rocket Class is already the best class in No. 3 Middle School, and it is also the top among peers in Xuanxiao City. However, as the first in the Rocket Class of No. 3 Middle School, you have a precipitous suppression of Liu Yao, who is ranked second, not to mention Yu Li, who is ranked behind you!"

Li Lang's expression was complicated: "He's an ambitious person. If he wants to get closer to you, he can only resort to crooked means."

Zhou Heng's face showed displeasure: "Are you saying this is my fault?"

Li Lang looked apologetic: "Aheng, that's not what I meant. I was just analyzing his psychology."

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment: "In whose name did he collect protection money? In his own name, or in the name of our Rocket Class?"

Li Lang appeared indignant: "Ah Heng, does it matter whose name it is? He's a member of the Rocket Class. Although he can't fully represent the Rocket Class when he walks out, he can still reflect the situation of our Rocket Class to some extent."

Zhou Heng still found it strange: "Ten regular classes and ten struggling classes, didn't a single one of them rebel against him?"

Li Lang snorted coldly: "Yu Li is particularly cunning. Occasionally, a good student can emerge from the intensive class and the top class, but the best student in the regular class and the poor student class is only at the third level now. Those people have no ability to resist at all."

Zhou Heng then asked, "Why didn't the students who were blackmailed choose to tell the teacher?"

Li Lang scoffed, "What good would telling the teacher do? For students in the regular and struggling classes, it's only a loss of tens or hundreds of yuan each, and they used the pretense of borrowing money. Yu Li, on the other hand, is a top student in the advanced class; as long as he doesn't go too far, why would the teacher care about something like this?"

Zhou Heng thought for a moment, then asked, "Where is Yu Li now?"

Li Lang immediately replied, "He was on the main playground when he heard that the student council had organized a beast-taming basketball tournament, and many people went to watch."

The Beast Taming Basketball game is similar to basketball games from 6,000 years ago. The biggest difference is that the Beast Tamers don't play; instead, the Beast Tamers play. They are not allowed to use skills. The other rules are similar to those of a regular basketball game.

It is very entertaining.

Zhou Heng sat on the sofa and did not immediately express his opinion.

Li Lang grew anxious: "What are you going to do?"

Zhou Heng didn't respond, but instead said, "Since you came to me, I naturally want to hear your opinion."

Without hesitation, Li Lang revealed the inside story: "I hope you can do something about it. Some of the students that Yu Li is extorting are the children of junior employees in my dad's company. Moreover, this guy doesn't get along with us. I've been looking for a chance to teach him a lesson. This is a good opportunity to teach him a lesson."

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment, then finally decided to take action: "If he were in another class, I wouldn't have bothered with this today, but since he's in the top class and you told me about it, I can't pretend I didn't see it!"

Zhou Heng and Li Lang immediately left the small villa.

A purple light shone between Zhou Heng's brows, and he summoned the Phoenix and Azure Phoenix.

Then he and Li Lang sat directly on the Phoenix and Azure Phoenix.

Zhou Heng gave the order: "Jiuxiao, take us to the main playground to find Yu Li!"

"Hey!"

With a long cry, Fengyi Qingluan flapped its wings and transformed into a streak of azure light, carrying Zhou Heng and Li Lang to the large playground at an extremely fast speed.

At this point, the Beast Taming Basketball game had already ended.

As dusk settled in, many people strolled around the playground.

Yu Li was surrounded by several people, chatting and laughing.

Zhou Heng immediately summoned the Phoenix and Azure Phoenix to descend before him.

Zhou Heng and Li Lang jumped off the back of the Phoenix and Azure Luan.

Yu Li was startled: "Squad leader, Young Master Zhou, what brings you here?"

Zhou Heng coldly questioned, "Yu Li, who gave you permission to collect protection money from regular classes and classes with lower-achieving students?"

Yu Li grinned, trying to bluff his way out: "Young Master Zhou, you've misunderstood. I was just a little short on cash and borrowed some money from them. I gave them an IOU."
