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

Zhou Heng's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was quite distant: "Anything is possible, Ji Chao, don't underestimate yourself."

Ji Chao paused for a moment before mustering his courage and saying, "Young Master Zhou, although I may never be able to beat you, I still hope to fight you once and feel just how big the gap is between us. Please grant my request."

Zhou Heng laughed heartily: "We are now in the midst of a battle."

Ji Chao bowed again: "Thank you for your understanding."

Then, blue light burst forth from his brow and eyes.

Ji Chao directly used his talent, the Phantom Beast Clone.

In an instant, three giant crystal elephants appeared in the arena.

Ji Chao said in a deep voice, "Giant Fang! Use Crystal Ray!"

Four giant crystal elephants simultaneously raised their snow-white tusks, and eight icy blue energy rays shot towards the Phoenix and Azure Luan.

Phoenix Azure Phoenix neither dodged nor avoided the attack, nor did it use any skills, allowing the eight crystal rays to strike it.

When the energy dissipated, Fengyi Qingluan was completely unharmed, without even losing a single feather.

Ji Chao was instantly terrified and turned pale.

He had imagined that the Crystal Giant would be easily blocked by Fengyi Qingluan's skills, but he never expected that Fengyi Qingluan would actually withstand the Crystal Giant's attack with her bare body.

Zhou Heng immediately used telepathy to command Feng Yi Qingluan: "Jiuxiao, gather 95% of your power and use Phoenix Wing Slash to knock the crystal giant elephant off the stage."

The Phoenix Azure Luan closed its wings, then suddenly flapped them, and a ten-meter-long, crisscrossing azure wind blade slammed into the crystal giant elephant's body with lightning speed.

"Moo!"

Even though the Crystal Elephant was known for its defense, under the Phoenix Wing Slash, which only had half its strength, its body screamed like a broken rag doll and was thrown off the arena, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up countless dust particles.

As for the remaining three clones of the Crystal Elephant, they were grazed by the aftershocks of the Phoenix Wing Slash, which was equivalent to a fatal blow. They instantly turned into phantoms and vanished.

Zhou Heng won the battle with just one move using his beast taming technique!

Moreover, it was a move in which most of the force was absorbed.

Because the difference in the level of the beasts they tamed was too great, one was level 10 and the other was level 21, which is the difference between the first and third tiers.

Ji Chao stared blankly at the scene, feeling utterly devastated.

So this is what genius is?

So these are the direct descendants of an ancient, large aristocratic family?

It turns out that my B-grade talent is so easily defeated...

Zhou Heng ignored Ji Chao, who was caught in self-doubt.

After Zhang Peng announced the results, he went straight into his beast-taming space and strolled back to the stands.

Li Lang beamed with joy: "Ah Heng, you're so handsome! Compared to you, Ji Chao is like heaven and earth."

Zhou Heng remained calm and composed: "He's actually quite good, and he'll be able to get into university without any problems."

Li Lang scoffed: "Compared to you, Ji Chao is far inferior. You are already a third-tier elite beast tamer, while he is still just a first-tier apprentice beast tamer."

Zhou Heng objectively analyzed, "It's only been a month since the classes were divided, and only five people in the entire first year of high school have become second-level senior beast tamers. Ji Chao is almost there. His beast taming crystal giant elephant should also reach the second level within two weeks."

Li Lang held those less talented than him in utter contempt: "Second rank is nothing! The gap widens as you progress. Ji Chao only has B-rank talent; he probably can't even keep up with you!"

Zhou Heng smiled without saying a word.

Next up is the semi-finals.

Zhou Heng versus Tang Tianci.

Liu Yao versus Li Lang.

Tang Tianci and Li Lang chose to abstain, while Zhou Heng and Liu Yao successfully advanced.

In the final match, Zhou Heng and Liu Yao competed for first place.

Although everyone in the arena already knew who was in first place, they still had to put on an act.

As the whistle blew, Liu Yao immediately activated his talent for enhancing the combat power of dragons of medium rank, instantly doubling the combat power of the Thunderflame Flood Dragon.

At the same time, Liu Yao commanded the Thunderflame Dragon to use the Thunderflame Armor and Cloud Soaring to increase its defense and mobility, creating distance between itself and the Phoenix Azure Phoenix, and looking for an opportunity to use its breath attack.

A 25-meter-long Thunderfire Flood Dragon swam above the arena, its purple body radiating the unique aura of a dragon-tamed beast, causing many students and ordinary people in the stands to tense up.

However, for Fengyi Qingluan, who had already grown to the third rank and possessed the bloodline of the phoenix, all of this was in vain.

"Hey!"

With a flap of its wings, the Phoenix Azure Luan unleashed a cyan cross-shaped wind blade that struck the Thunder Flame Flood Dragon with pinpoint accuracy.

"Aww!"

The Thunder Flame Dragon let out a miserable cry and plummeted from mid-air, its body convulsing and blood splattering everywhere.

Its flesh was torn apart, and the bone was visible through the wound.

The level 16 Thunderflame Flood Dragon instantly lost its fighting ability.

Although Liu Yao had anticipated this scene, witnessing it firsthand still left him momentarily stunned: "Ao Lei!"

"Aww..."

The Thunder Flame Dragon struggled to get up and fight, but it couldn't even lift its head.

Liu Yao clenched his fists, his face darkening.

He was extremely depressed after being overwhelmingly defeated by Zhou Heng in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

After all, he was just a teenager.

However, no one cares about his feelings.

Zhang Peng soared into the air and landed on the arena, loudly announcing the result: "Let's congratulate Zhou Heng from the top-performing class of the first year of high school on his victory in the final battle! If no one can challenge Zhou Heng any further, then he will be the top student in this year's first-year competition!"

Everyone knows that no one in the first year of high school can challenge Zhou Heng.

Generally speaking, such a scene does not occur frequently.

Under normal circumstances, the strength gap between the top three students in the grade is roughly the same, and the outcome often depends on the counterplay between talent and beast taming.

To truly secure the top spot in the grade, one must overcome numerous challenges.

For example, the difference in grades between the top two students in the second year of high school and the top three students in the third year is very small.

However, Zhou Heng's first place in the grade was achieved through an overwhelming difference in class level.

The rest of the people were not qualified to challenge him.

On the stands, Li Lang was the first to stand up, waving his arm: "Number one in the grade! Zhou Heng is invincible!"

Then, wave after wave of shouts echoed throughout the battle arena.

"Zhou Heng is invincible!"

"Zhou Heng is the strongest!"

"Zhou Heng, you're so handsome!"

"Zhou Heng..."

With Li Lang taking the lead, the atmosphere in the arena was immediately stirred up.

Many students from all grades of No. 3 Middle School and a number of spectators from the community let out excited screams.

Just like the fanatical fans who loved chasing stars six thousand years ago.

Zhou Heng smiled, put the Phoenix and Azure Luan back into his beast-taming space, and returned to his stand amidst praise and applause.

Liu Yao followed silently behind Zhou Heng.
