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

Yu Li's father then remembered that Zhang Peng was also a fifth-tier battle general and beast tamer: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Teacher Zhang, I was emotional and offended Young Master Zhou. I deserve to die, I deserve to die! I'll leave now..."

As he spoke, Yu Li's father slapped himself in the face a few times, then humbly withdrew from the combat training hall.

Yu Li watched this scene from the side, feeling a deep sense of humiliation and defeat.

He lowered his head, clenched his teeth, and his eyes were so red they looked like they could bleed.

Zhou Heng didn't even glance at him.

Zhang Peng saw this scene, but simply shook his head and said nothing.

The silver array beneath his feet flickered and he vanished instantly.

Zhou Heng and Li Lang then left the place.

……

After lunch and another theory class, Zhou Heng and the others' week-long course came to an end.

After returning home in the Frost Blue Crane King, Zhou Heng had a sumptuous dinner with his parents.

Suddenly, Zhou's father asked, "Heng'er, what's your opinion of your classmate Yu Li?"

Zhou Heng's face showed disdain: "A fool."

Mr. Zhou leaned back on the sofa, intrigued: "Why do you say that?"

Zhou Heng gave his answer: "As long as he trains his beast taming step by step, he can definitely get into university in the future. But he ruined his reputation by collecting protection money and lost the monthly ranking bonus that the rocket class has. He still has three years of high school left, and he will be very upset."

Zhou's father agreed with Zhou Heng's words, and then asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

Zhou Heng's heart skipped a beat: "What does Dad mean?"

Zhou's father's expression turned serious: "You're just going to let him go like that?"

Zhou Heng thought for a moment: "He poses no threat to me."

Mr. Zhou disagreed: "He may not be a threat to you now, but that doesn't mean he won't be in the future. Even if he doesn't pose a threat to you in the future, if he sides with your rival, can't he still sabotage you behind your back? The key is that he's in the same class as you, and you'll be together for another three years. But you've already offended him to the core. You should know that it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark."

Zhou Heng blurted out instinctively, "Should we kill him?"

Zhou's father revealed a look of "you're teachable": "Either don't offend anyone, or eliminate them completely! If you've offended someone to death, you should wipe them out as soon as you have the chance! Throughout history, countless people have been brought down by unforeseen circumstances. Although Yu Li's background and talent are not as good as yours, what if he encounters some extraordinary opportunity and soars to great heights? Even if the probability is small, it's not impossible."

Zhou Heng was a little worried: "What if his parents make a scene if he dies? I remember that although his parents were not of high status, they were not ordinary people either. They were both third-level elite beast tamers, and one of them worked in the Education Bureau and the other in the Businessmen's Association."

Zhou's father remained completely calm: "Why not just kill them all together?"

Zhou Heng hesitated, "Will this work?"

Zhou's father's eyes were like a deep, dark abyss: "My good son, to tell you the truth, killing two third-tier elite beast tamers with no real background would be easier for your father than crushing two ants!"

Looking at his father's expression, Zhou Heng then remembered that his father, as a direct descendant of a large aristocratic family, was no pushover.

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment: "Dad, you must have rivals in the Education Bureau, right? What if they catch you doing something wrong?"

Mr. Zhou scoffed at this: "Everyone does this kind of thing. As long as you have enough connections, who can find fault with whom? Anyway, with the family backing us up, even the biggest incriminating evidence isn't a problem."

Since there was no risk, Zhou Heng didn't try to persuade him any further.

He then asked, "What exactly are Dad's plans? Are you going to assassinate their entire family?"

Mr. Zhou revealed a meaningful smile: "Do you know about the Baiyang Society?"

Zhou Heng frowned slightly: "The Three Yang Calamities have ended, and one has attained eternal life? The White Yang Society, one of the Four Teachings and Three Assemblies?"

The Four Teachings refer to the teachings of Heavenly Principle, Perfect Enlightenment, Respect for the Stars, and Non-Action.

The Three Meetings refer to the three meetings of Qingyang, Hongyang, and Baiyang.

The history of the Four Religions and Three Societies is even longer than that of the ASEAN, and their names carry an ancient charm.

ASEAN has a history of only over 6,000 years, while the four religions and three associations have a history of at least 7,000 years.

It is said that the predecessors of the Four Teachings and Three Assemblies already existed before the Beast Taming Era, but only these seven lineages were preserved later.

Even so, each of them is a formidable force, consistently opposing the ASEAN government and being the primary enemy besides the Ten Great Evil Clans.

Father Zhou nodded: "That's right, it's the Baiyang Society, one of the Four Religions and Three Societies."

Zhou Heng was puzzled: "What does this have to do with Bai Yang?"

Zhou's father already had a plan in mind: "I received news a while ago that a protector of the Baiyang Society has come to Xuanxiao City. I now suspect that Yu Li's parents have already defected to the Baiyang Society and are their spies. I imagine the people in the garrison will be very willing to take the credit for this."

Zhou Heng understood his father's plan: "Can we really frame them so blatantly?"

Zhou's father scoffed, "Framed? My dear son, you're too naive. Do you think the Four Religions and Three Societies are endlessly being killed?"

Zhou Heng sat up straight: "Why?"

Mr. Zhou was unwilling to say more: "You are still young now, you will understand later."

Zhou Heng snorted and said in a spoiled tone, "Dad, you know I hate it when people keep me in suspense, and you still do this! I'm already eighteen years old, I'm an adult, I'm not a child anymore, stop treating me like a little kid."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's father no longer concealed anything and spoke frankly, "Heng'er, let me be frank with you! In the Eastern Alliance, our aristocratic family holds the upper hand. Whoever our family calls a member of the Four Religions and Three Societies, that's who they are! The specifics of the Four Religions and Three Societies aren't important. What's important is that we need a reason to ruin the reputations of those we dislike, to make them suffer the scorn of everyone. Do you understand?"

Zhou Heng, possessing wisdom gleaned from two lifetimes, easily accepted these dark things: "I understand."

Mr. Zhou stopped there: "Besides that, there are deeper connections involved. You'll gradually understand after you graduate from university and take over the family affairs."

Zhou Heng didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, Dad."

Mr. Zhou picked up his teacup, a look of approval on his face: "In the future, if you encounter any problems, you must tell us directly, just like this time. We are your parents, your eternal support, and the people you can trust the most. No matter who your enemy is, we will clear all obstacles for you."

Zhou Heng looked at his parents and said sincerely, "Mom and Dad, thank you. I will always love you."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou looked relieved: "We will always love you, our precious son."
