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

Then came the third round, with another two thousand people going up.

Li Lang reminded them, "Gao Wenwu, He Hongmei, your names have appeared on the list for the next round."

"Thank you, squad leader, we understand." Gao Wenwu and He Hongmei exchanged a glance, then stepped down from the stands and stood beside their respective arenas.

After the winner is decided above, they will go up directly with their opponents.

The fourth round arrived quickly. Although Gao Wenwu and He Hongmei were the floor tiles of the rocket class, they were a force to be reckoned with against the students in the poor class.

The two of them won in just half a minute.

Then it was Xu Yaya's turn, Chen Hui's turn, Tang Tianci's turn, and they also won the victory at a very fast pace.

It displayed rocket-like power.

Many students from the lower-achieving classes didn't even have the courage to make a move when they saw them.

When Li Lang took the stage, the situation was the same.

Li Lang's opponent was a student in the underachieving class who had raised his Beast Taming to level four, but when faced with the level eleven Frost Giant Bear, Li Lang's opponent's Beast Taming didn't even dare to launch an attack and chose to admit defeat directly.

Before we knew it, it was the ninth round of the first match, and Liu Yao took the stage.

As soon as he unleashed his Thunder Flame Dragon, it caused a series of exclamations in the battle arena!

"A level sixteen Thunderfire Flood Dragon!"

"Is this a first-year high school student?"

"They're almost catching up to the top-performing class in the second year of high school!"

"They're S-level geniuses, and none of this year's second-year students have S-level talent. How can they compare?"

"This year's top-performing class is incredibly lucky! They've got two S-level talents all at once."

"How enviable..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, and expressions of envy, jealousy, and resentment appeared on many faces.

Upon seeing the menacing and enormous Thunderflame Flood Dragon, Liu Yao's opponent dejectedly chose to concede defeat.

After two more rounds, Li Lang suddenly patted Zhou Heng: "Look, Zhang Yunfeng has appeared!"

Zhou Heng was quite interested in this student who, despite having a C-level talent, managed to break through to the second-tier senior beast tamer ahead of all the students in the sprint class.

A green light flashed between Zhang Yunfeng's eyebrows, and a black water serpent, twenty meters long, appeared on the arena.

His opponent was from Class 9, a group of underachieving students in the first year of high school. His tamed beast was a high-ranking bronze-quality Azure-eyed Leopard, which was over three meters long.

"Aww!"

Facing the Blackwater Serpent, the Azure-Eyed Leopard had no chance of winning, but it suppressed its fear and roared.

Enraged by its action, the Blackwater Serpent lashed out with its tail.

After a scream, the Azure-Eyed Leopard was thrown off the stage, spitting blood from all seven orifices.

The student from Class 9, a poor student in the first year of high school, was so frightened that he quickly put the Azure-Eyed Leopard into his Beast Taming Space.

……

On the main grandstand.

Liu Yao's father smiled and praised, "Mr. Zhang's son is really good. Although he only has a C-level talent, with this Black Water Serpent, he can definitely get into university."

Zhang Yunfeng's father sighed helplessly, "In the end, he can't compare to President Liu's beloved son. His S-level talent is truly enviable, and he will surely become an extraordinary powerhouse in the future! My son is just a foil."

Liu Yao's father glanced at Zhou's father, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "Mr. Zhang, you're too kind! But if we're talking about being a foil, my Yao'er is just a foil in front of others too."

Zhang Yunfeng's father raised an eyebrow: "What makes you say that, Mr. Liu?"

Liu Yao's father tentatively asked, "I heard that Zhou Xuezheng's beloved son has already trained his Beast Taming to the third tier? Is that true?"

Mr. Zhou was both proud and pleased with himself, and said frankly, "Of course it's true. My son is the most outstanding. It's an honor for your son to be able to serve as a foil for my son."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yao's father and Zhang Yunfeng's father's expressions froze.

Although Zhou's father was right, they still felt uncomfortable listening to him.

The principal of No. 3 Middle School tried to smooth things over, saying, "Zhou Xuezheng is really quick-witted and outspoken."

The assistant to the prefect of the garrison, surnamed Fang, looked astonished: "Zhou Xuezheng's son really raised his beast taming skill to the third tier? I remember it was only a month or so ago that a first-year high school student awakened his talent and contracted a beast taming cub. Could it be that Zhou Xuezheng had his family send overlord-quality beast taming cubs?"

Overlord-quality beast cubs are born at the second tier, and some can even directly reach level 20, making it extremely easy for them to break through to the third tier.

That's why Assistant Fang asked that question.

Mr. Zhou smiled broadly: "Assistant Fang guessed wrong. Although the family has already prepared to arrange a beast cub of the Overlord quality for my son, his initial beast is only of the Upper Diamond quality. After all, it was given to us by the Alliance, so we might as well take it."

Upon hearing this, everyone had different thoughts, but all of them showed a flattering expression.

Assistant Fang was very enthusiastic: "Congratulations in advance, Zhou Xuezheng! Since the Zhou family has already prepared a beast cub of overlord quality for your son, he will surely shine brightly when he takes the college entrance examination!"

Mr. Zhou said politely, "Thank you for your kind words, Assistant Fang. Your junior is also very good. As the top student in the second year of high school at our No. 3 Middle School, he will not do badly in the college entrance examination."

Although Assistant Fang came from the garrison headquarters, he adopted a very humble attitude: "How can my junior compare to your son? He only has A-level talent, just a tiny star among countless geniuses. Your son is the true, radiant sun, shining brightly in all directions! More importantly, with a father as powerful as you paving the way for Young Master Zhou, once he contracts a rare and incomparably powerful beast cub, his future will be limitless!"

Father Zhou waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's just a young beast of overlord quality. To our Zhou family, it's nothing, just a drop in the ocean."

Even for large clans, a young beast of the Overlord quality is an important strategic resource, not something that ordinary clansmen can possess. However, Zhou Heng is not an ordinary clansman, and his father did indeed contact the clan to prepare one for him.

Zhang Yunfeng's father looked on with envy: "Even high-grade diamond-quality beast cubs are extremely rare for us, and overlord-quality beast cubs are even more unattainable. But for Zhou Xuezheng, it's so easy. Zhou Xuezheng truly lives up to his reputation as a member of an ancient family; his background is indeed profound!"

Liu Yao's father secretly gritted his teeth, but his face wore a flawless smile: "The difference between high-grade diamond quality and overlord quality may seem slight, but it's worlds apart. We can afford high-grade diamond quality beast cubs even if we have to sell our possessions, but overlord quality beast cubs are simply not available on the market. Aside from upper-class figures like Zhou Xuezheng from large, prestigious families, nobody else can even dream of owning one! Zhou Xuezheng, I admire you so much!"

Zhou's father glanced at Liu Yao's father dismissively: "He's just relying on his family's connections for protection; he can't compare to President Liu, who rose from humble beginnings and showed true heroism!"

Liu Yao's father gave a forced laugh: "Zhou Xuezheng flatters me..."

The crowd on the platform flattered Zhou's parents, their reverence growing ever stronger.
