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

Zhou Heng picked up a spiritual fruit that looked like an orange: "Thank you for the compliment, Dad."

Father Zhou put down his teacup: "You are very lucky this time. Xuanxiao City has been allocated five diamond-quality beast cubs this year."

Zhou Heng's expression turned serious: "Dad, how many students with S-level talent does Xuanxiao City have this year?"

Zhou's father had already found out through his connections: "Among the top-tier Beast Taming High Schools, No. 1, No. 2, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 have no students with S-level talent this year. No. 3 High School has two awakened, No. 7 High School has one awakened. Among the second-tier Beast Taming High Schools, only Xuehu High School has one awakened. Among the third-tier Beast Taming High Schools, none have one."

Zhou Heng then asked to confirm, "So, Xuanxiao City only has four students with S-level talent this year?"

Mr. Zhou nodded: "Yes, there are only four of you this year, which is already very impressive. Last year there were only three."

Zhou Heng broke open the orange spirit fruit: "Doesn't that mean we've got an extra diamond-quality cub this year?"

Father Zhou took a sip of tea: "That's right. This cub will probably be assigned to a student with A-level talent. But there are quite a few students with A-level talent in the entire Xuanxiao City, so it's hard to say how it will be distributed. But it has nothing to do with you. You are guaranteed to get a diamond-quality cub."

Xuanxiao City is an incredibly large city, with a total area of ​​tens of millions of square kilometers.

It was called a city, but in reality it was equivalent to a kingdom.

Because there is only one giant city on the entire Xuanxiao Star, and no other small cities.

Such colossal cities, one per planet, are quite common in the interstellar era; there are even colossal cities on other planets larger than Xuanxiao City.

Because if, like six thousand years ago, many cities were scattered across a planet, the number of powerful individuals in each city would vary greatly, making it difficult to guarantee safety.

Although humanity won the battle against the ten evil races from beyond the realm, the ten evil races still harbored evil intentions and were always ready to counterattack.

At the same time, extraordinary creatures in the wild can easily gather to form beast tides. If the cities are too scattered, they will be defeated one by one. It would be better to merge many small cities into one large city, which would be more conducive to human development.

However, even though Xuanxiao City is so huge, it is only a first-level city.

Because Xuanxiao Star is only a first-level planet.

According to the alliance's classification, planets are divided into five levels: core planets, level one planets, level two planets, level three planets, and unranked planets.

Correspondingly, the cities on the planet are divided into five levels: core cities, first-level cities, second-level cities, third-level cities, and unranked cities.

In Xuanxiao City, including ordinary people without the aptitude of Beast Tamer, there are a total of 10 billion humans who reside here.

Of the 9.9 billion people here, only 100 million are beast tamers.

The probability of a human awakening their beast-taming talent is only one percent.

Whether someone has the talent to tame beasts can be tested shortly after birth, but to know their specific level, they must wait until they are eighteen years old.

Because people generally started school later in this era, students without beast-taming talent would be diverted to regular high schools to study academic subjects after graduating from junior high school at the age of eighteen.

Students with beast-taming talent can continue their studies at a beast-taming high school to learn how to tame beasts.

Moreover, students in regular high schools are not eligible to take the college entrance examination; they can go directly to work in a company after graduating from high school.

Only students from Beast Taming High School can take the entrance exam for Beast Taming University.

Xuanxiao City has a newborn population of around 100 million every year. When the high school entrance exam is held, more than one million students with beast-taming talent will enter the Beast Taming High School.

With such a large pool of candidates, there are only four S-level talents.

This shows just how valuable an S-level talent is.

Zhou Heng suddenly thought of a crucial question: "Has any SS-level talent awakened in the league this year?"

Zhou's mother gave a negative answer: "No, if there were, we would have announced it to the entire alliance long ago."

Zhou Heng nodded.

In this way, the S-level talent will be the strongest talent of this generation.

With his family background and the investment of substantial resources, he has a good chance of standing out among his peers in the entire ASEAN, or even becoming the best.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng chatted with his parents for a few more minutes before going back to his room to rest.

During this time, he received many messages on his communicator.

The communication devices of this era are not much different from mobile phones from six thousand years ago, except that they have more comprehensive functions.

He randomly picked a few important people to reply to.

The rest were simply left to dry.

Then he saw that he was on the front page of the news on Xuanxiao Star.

The title is: [Great News! Geniuses Emerge in droves! Two unparalleled prodigies with S-rank talent have appeared at Xuanxiao Beast Taming Third High School!]

……

Soon, Sunday arrived.

Today happens to be the day when a group of talented students choose their tamed beasts.

Zhou Heng's parents once again took Zhou Heng on the Frost Blue Dragon Crane and rushed to the Beastmaster Guild's branch in Xuanxiao City at top speed.

The Beastmaster Guild is a very powerful organization. It is nominally under the command of the Alliance, but in reality, the relationship between the two is very complicated.

It comprises five major organizations: the Hunters' Association, the Apothecary Association, the Merchants' Association, the Breeders' Association, and the Blacksmiths' Association, making it a place where many talented individuals emerge.

When Zhou Heng's parents arrived with Zhou Heng, the other three S-class students and their parents had also arrived.

Besides them, there were also some students with A-level and B-level talents and their parents who came.

According to the alliance's rules, anyone with a B-rank talent or higher can have priority in selecting a beast tamer from within the alliance.

Of course, the beasts selected by B-level and A-level talents are not free. Although there will be some discounts, it is far from the free treatment of S-level talents.

After Zhou Heng and his parents arrived, it wasn't long before an old man in a blue robe appeared, walking leisurely in mid-air in front of them.

Although the old man in blue robes did not summon any beasts, he still exuded a deep sense of oppression.

Zhou Heng was not surprised by this scene, because as far as he knew, high-level beast tamers possessed unimaginable magical abilities.

This person is clearly a sixth-tier commander beast tamer.

Furthermore, a ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer is stationed at the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Guild.

As for the branch offices in the first-level cities on first-level planets, there is usually a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer in charge, who is the branch office leader.

The vice president of the branch, who is second only to the branch president, is also quite strong, and is usually one of the best among the sixth-level commander beast tamers.

The old man in blue robes glanced around and slowly said, "Greetings everyone. I am one of the vice presidents of the Xuanxiao branch of the Beast Tamer Guild. You can call me Vice President Chen."

Everyone greeted, "Hello, Vice Chairman Chen!"
