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

Zhou Heng then said to Gu Yixuan, "As for your wish to change advisors, I suggest you transfer directly from the School of Forging to the School of Comprehensive Theory. According to the rules of Hanyue University, after changing schools, you can continue your studies in the School of Comprehensive Theory regardless of your major; you don't need to change your major. As for advisors, since you have S-level talent and are already a senior, you can directly enter graduate school. During your graduate studies, Dean Li of the School of Comprehensive Theory will personally mentor you!"

Gu Yixuan was moved to tears: "I am deeply grateful for the thoughtful arrangements made for me by the young alliance leader. I have no way to repay you."

Zhou Heng then asked, "Senior, there's no need to be so polite. Has the Qiongqi Meng family given you the compensation you deserve?"

Gu Yixuan replied, "Of course they gave it to me, and they gave me very generous compensation. They compensated me with a high-grade diamond-quality beast cub and a lot of resources, enough for me to raise this beast from the first rank to the fifth rank after re-contracting it."

Although Gu Yixuan lost his second beast, his initial beast, the Heavenly Fire Demon Scorpion, was still alive, so his cultivation level did not drop.

However, losing the second beast has slightly reduced its combat strength, but it is slowly able to rebuild the third beast under the new contract.

Zhou Heng nodded in satisfaction: "They're quite sensible."

Gu Yixuan immediately said, "Thanks to the young alliance leader, otherwise they would never have given me this compensation. I would like to take this opportunity to present all of this compensation to the young alliance leader."

Zhou Heng waved his hand: "No need, these are just ordinary resources, I don't lack them. Besides, the Dean of the Forging Master Academy, Yun Jianhou, offered me dozens of high-level magical artifacts to appease my anger. So my help to you wasn't for nothing, I've already received enough benefits."

Gu Yixuan thought of many things in an instant: "This is what the young alliance leader deserves. Moreover, with this example, anyone who wants to harm the people around the young alliance leader should think twice."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Senior, you're very insightful."

Gu Yixuan then said, "Young Alliance Leader, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Zhou Heng turned and instructed, "Feng Yong, escort Senior Yi Xuan for a while."

Feng Yong bowed his head and said, "Yes, sir."

After Gu Yixuan left, Li Lang couldn't help but sigh, "Gu Yixuan has turned misfortune into blessing this time. His original second beast was only of mid-level diamond quality, but Yun Jianhou and the others compensated him with a high-level diamond quality beast, along with a large amount of ordinary resources, because of you."

Zhou Heng shook his head seriously: "You can't calculate it that way. There's a bond between the beast tamer and the beast master."

Upon hearing this, Li Lang realized what was happening and said, "That's true."

Zhou Heng knew Gu Yixuan's personality: "For Senior Yixuan, even if Marquis Yun Jian compensated him with a high-grade diamond-quality beast, he would probably prefer that his mid-grade diamond-quality second beast be resurrected."

Li Lang shrugged: "Unfortunately, that's unlikely."

Zhou Heng touched the golden dragon horn of the shrunken Guixu Divine Dragon wrapped around his wrist: "After Fei Hong evolved, he gained the ability to revive other living beings, but it has a time limit. It must be within one hour after death. It's long overdue now. Otherwise, I would like to help Senior Yi Xuan."

Li Lang couldn't help but say, "You're too good to Gu Yixuan."

Zhou Heng is a very sentimental person: "After all, we've known each other since the first year of high school, and four or five years have passed in the blink of an eye."

A look of reminiscence suddenly appeared in Li Lang's eyes: "I suddenly remembered high school. Back then, to deal with Yu Li, who was collecting protection money, his parents were only third-tier elite beast tamers, and you had to personally take action. But now, you can easily make a seventh-tier noble beast tamer from a top family kneel at your feet with just a word. Your growth rate is just too fast."

Zhou Heng disagreed: "This time, it's essentially still thanks to my master's influence."

Li Lang then asked, "What do you plan to do with Meng Lide and the other two? Just leave them kneeling like that?"

Zhou Heng was utterly indifferent to the enemy: "Otherwise what? I'd like to see how long they can keep kneeling."

Li Lang made a reasonable deduction: "If you keep preventing them from getting up, Marquis Yun Jian will feel that you are not satisfied and will definitely take other measures. Those three will definitely not have a good outcome."

Zhou Heng uttered chilling words in a mocking tone: "You think you can get away with messing with me?"

Li Lang didn't understand the intricacies of the situation: "Didn't you accept thirty seventh-tier treasures and five eighth-tier treasures from Marquis Yun Jian? I thought you would let this matter drop after accepting the gifts."

Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow: "Accepting the gifts only means I won't escalate the situation further, not that I'll let them off easily."

Li Lang asked, puzzled, "Then why didn't you just kill them all?"

Zhou Heng bluntly stated, "Because I am the minor leader of the alliance, I don't need to personally kill people. Naturally, there will be people who will guess my intentions and do what I want to do for me. Those people are too low-level. If I were to do it myself, it would be beneath me, and I don't want to get my hands dirty. You know my personality; I'm quite protective of my reputation."

To some extent, this is hypocrisy, but Zhou Heng never shied away from it.

He is not a saint; he is just a normal person.

He has all the flaws that normal people have.

Li Lang thought for a moment, then said, "What if outsiders misunderstand your intentions and do something wrong?"

Facing his best friend Li Lang, Zhou Heng dropped all pretense and laid his cards on the table: "That's their responsibility, what does it have to do with me?"

Looking at Zhou Heng, who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, Li Lang couldn't help but say, "Is this how those in power behave? They reap all the benefits and avoid all the harm."

Zhou Heng revealed a meaningful smile: "You can interpret it that way."

……

After Feng Yong led Gu Yixuan out of the floating fortress, Gu Yixuan came to Meng Lide, Meng Lide's lecturer, and his former professor in full view of everyone.

The three looked at Gu Yixuan, who was full of energy and completely unharmed, and their expressions varied.

Meng Lide tried hard to suppress the hatred in his heart and pretended to be full of regret.

Meng Lide's mentor, Meng Zhoujun, closed his eyes and didn't look at Gu Yixuan at all, because he knew that the key was not Gu Yixuan, but Zhou Heng.

Gu Yixuan's former professor and mentor, Zhilan Hou, lowered his head, too ashamed to face Gu Yixuan.

It wasn't that he felt sorry for Gu Yixuan, but rather that he had bet on the wrong horse and ended up kneeling in public to be humiliated.

Facing Gu Yixuan, a student he had previously suppressed, Zhilan Hou felt as if he were being repeatedly tortured.
