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

Marquis Zhilan, Meng Zhouyun, and Meng Lide are a seventh-tier noble beast tamer from a small family, a sixth-tier commander beast tamer from a top family, and a young direct descendant of a top family. Relying on their superior status, they have all done a lot of bullying the weak in the past, but none of them have ever been brought down.

This time, the three of them regretted their actions, but not because they had done anything wrong, but because they had kicked a super hornet's nest.

Knowing that Gu Yixuan and Zhou Heng knew each other, even if their relationship was not as close as that between Zhou Heng and Li Lang, they should have kept their distance. However, in a moment of folly, they took a chance and ran headfirst into him, resulting in a head injury.

This is what they regret the most.

The reason they dared to provoke Gu Yixuan was because Zhou Heng had a particularly good reputation and there were no rumors of him abusing his power.

Therefore, they felt that even if their scheme came to light, Zhou Heng wouldn't bother with them.

Little did they expect that Zhou Heng would not stoop to their level, lest he lose face, and would simply let the people above him deal with them.

They haven't even seen Zhou Heng yet, but with just one sentence, he has made them wish they were dead.

When they arrived, Marquis Yun Jian had made it very clear to them that if they could not gain Zhou Heng's forgiveness, their fate would be extremely tragic.

Unfortunately, Zhou Heng was no ordinary person. They couldn't force him to forgive them, so they resorted to the most foolish method: a self-inflicted injury, throwing their dignity to the ground and letting others trample on it, hoping that Zhou Heng would take pity on them and let them off the hook.

The three of them knelt for more than ten hours in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Heng remained unmoved.

A large crowd gathered outside the floating fortress and began to discuss the matter.

"This Meng Lide has really lost his mind. It's one thing for him to be arrogant and domineering, but he actually dared to provoke the young alliance leader."

"He didn't directly provoke the young leader; he just offended a classmate the young leader knew from high school."

"You're talking about Gu Yixuan, right? He's more than just an alumnus. Although he comes from a poor family, he's a friend of the Little Alliance Leader."

"Then how dare Meng Lide provoke Gu Yixuan?"

"He probably thinks that the young leader is also from a prestigious family and wouldn't touch him because of a poor scholar."

"What an idiot! Who does he think he is? The Little Alliance Leader could kill such an ant with just one word, and he doesn't even behave himself, daring to stroke the Little Alliance Leader's dragon whiskers."

"Actually, it doesn't matter who he offended, whether it was Gu Yixuan or anyone else. The key is that this person knows the Little Alliance Leader, and that's the biggest mistake."

"You're right. If the young leader didn't know about this, that would be fine. But now that he does, what will others think of him if he doesn't take action? So the young leader must take action to deal with him."

"He can't even figure out something this simple. He really is an idiot. It's one thing for him to be stupid, but he's also dragging down his own mentor and Gu Yixuan's mentor."

"What do you mean by implicating others? They're all birds of a feather, they deserve it."

"Meng Lide's mentor, Lecturer Meng, is actually not a bad person. There was a student from a collateral branch of a noble family who was not favored by his parents and could not be provided with resources in any way. After that student chose him as his mentor, he directly paid out of his own pocket to help that student train beast tamers."

"Even a collateral branch of a powerful family is still a powerful family, so why don't we see them helping us poor kids?"

"These aristocratic families usually act high and mighty, and they like to bully us poor people. They seem pretty powerful, but now that they've run into a real tough opponent, they're no better than dogs, without any backbone."

"You have guts! That's the young alliance leader!"

"Blame them for provoking the young alliance leader! They'll be lucky to escape with their lives this time."

"It is truly astonishing that Marquis Zhilan, a distinguished university professor and such a remarkable figure, would kneel before such a large crowd."

"You're actually feeling sorry for him? He's from a prestigious family, and he's a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer. He'd be a powerful figure in the outside world. He doesn't even respect us poor students. You're a poor student, and instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you're feeling sorry for him. It's ridiculous."

"I don't feel sorry for him at all. I'm just thinking that his achievements are something we can never reach in our entire lives. Yet he can only kneel at someone's door and beg for forgiveness, unable to even see the person in question. It suddenly makes me feel even more insignificant..."

Zhou Heng was completely unaware of the outside world's discussions, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

As for Meng Lide and the other two, he will not meet them either.

As far as Zhou Heng was concerned, these three were not on the same level as him, so there was no need to waste time on them.

We just need to leave them hanging, and someone will naturally take care of them to please Zhou Heng.

Feng Yong came to report: "Young Master, Young Master Li and Gu Yixuan have arrived."

Zhou Heng said directly, "Let them come over."

Soon Li Lang and Gu Yixuan arrived in front of Zhou Heng. Gu Yixuan appeared to be unharmed and in excellent spirits.

Zhou Heng wasn't surprised: "Senior, your backlash healed so quickly?"

Gu Yixuan bowed deeply: "Young Alliance Leader, thank you so much this time. Not only did you get justice for me, but you also gave me a bottle of precious healing elixir condensed from the Guixu Divine Dragon. Originally, my second beast was destroyed, and I suffered a severe backlash, unable to get out of bed. But with the healing elixir you sent, my backlash was immediately cured."

Zhou Heng smiled calmly: "It's better if you call me junior, senior. There's no need for us to be so formal."

Gu Yixuan insisted, "In the past, I could indeed call the Little Alliance Leader 'junior brother' because we met when we were both nobody, and I hadn't received any special care from him before. So, our relationship was purely that of senior and junior. But now that the Little Alliance Leader has personally stepped in to punish Meng Lide and his protectors, he has done me a great favor. If I were to call him 'junior brother' again, it would be disrespectful of me."

Zhou Heng said seriously, "You know me, I don't care about these things."

Having experienced a low point in his life, Gu Yixuan became more concerned about formalities than before: "You may not care about these things, but I can't not care about them."

He then seemed to want to say something more, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Zhou Heng asked, "Is there anything else, senior?"

Gu Yixuan was ultimately a little soft-hearted, too attached to past relationships: "When I came over just now, I saw my former mentor, Marquis Zhilan, outside. Although he suppressed my report and sided with the Qiongqi Meng family for his own benefit, it's only human nature. I've decided to apply to the school to change my mentor. Before my conflict with Meng Lide, he treated me quite well. I would like to ask the Little Alliance Leader to forgive him this time, and from now on, I will have nothing to do with him anymore."

Zhou Heng had no objection to this: "You are the victim, so naturally I will listen to you in everything."

Gu Yixuan looked extremely grateful: "Thank you very much, Little Alliance Leader."
