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

Gu Yixuan looked at his former professor and mentor, Marquis Zhilan, expressionless, his voice as cold as the ice of the deepest hell: "I have already pleaded with the young alliance leader for you. You can go back now, and there will be no further investigation into you."

Marquis Zhilan was taken aback, then suddenly looked up: "Are you serious?"

Gu Yixuan nodded: "Of course."

Marquis Zhilan's eyes welled up with tears, and he choked out, "Yixuan, it was my fault before..."

Gu Yixuan remained unmoved: "I don't want to hear these words, and you shouldn't say them either. From now on, I am no longer your student. The Little Alliance Master will arrange for me to transfer from the Blacksmith Academy to the Comprehensive Theory Academy, and let Marquis Ning Shuang, Li Xiang, be my mentor."

Li Xiang is the dean of the Comprehensive Theory Academy, and is backed by the Mingdie Huo family, one of the four top families. He also has SS-level talent, so his status is much higher than that of Zhilan Hou.

Seeing this, Marquis Zhilan could only say, "Congratulations, Yixuan."

Gu Yixuan remained silent.

Marquis Zhilan rose from the clouds, sighed deeply, and vanished from the spot in an instant, his figure extremely lonely.

Outside the floating fortress, Gu Yixuan was about to fly away from this place.

After much internal struggle, Meng Lide's instructor, Meng Zhoujun, suddenly opened her eyes: "Yixuan, it was our fault before, and I apologize to you here."

Gu Yixuan remained silent.

Meng Lide's instructor, Meng Zhouyun, shamelessly asked, "Yixuan, can you tell us how the young alliance leader intends to deal with us?"

Gu Yixuan: "I don't know."

Meng Lide's instructor, Meng Zhouyun, and Meng Lide had been eagerly awaiting an answer, but faced with Gu Yixuan's cold words, they were filled with despair, feeling that their future was bleak.

At the same time, the two felt a strange mix of jealousy and resentment towards Marquis Zhilan, who had already left safely.

Why was Marquis Zhilan so lucky to escape unscathed?

Why should they continue to kneel here awaiting trial?

Gu Yixuan ignored all of that. He unleashed the domain of a fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer, transforming it into an orange-red rainbow light, and vanished into thin air.

Many college students, both openly and secretly, watched this scene and began to discuss it again.

"As expected of Marquis Zhilan, a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer, this matter is indeed unable to completely defeat him as a professor."

"Didn't you hear Gu Yixuan say that he pleaded with the young alliance leader on his behalf?"

"Suppressing one's own students and siding with outsiders—this matter can be considered a big deal or a small one, but in essence, it doesn't directly confront the Little Alliance Leader. Every seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer is a high and mighty existence. Even without Gu Yixuan pleading for leniency, the Little Alliance Leader probably wouldn't punish Marquis Zhilan too severely."

"It seems that Marquis Zhilan didn't receive any severe punishment, but he's been kneeling here for so long. How will he be able to hold his head high in front of other professors in the future? He'll also lose all his authority in front of the students."

"Is saving face more important or actual benefits? At least he escaped unscathed this time."

"Moreover, what kind of status does the young alliance leader have? Let alone a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer, even an ordinary eighth-tier monarch beast tamer would have to be respectful in front of the young alliance leader. Although Marquis Zhilan knelt at the young alliance leader's door for a while, no one would use this to mock him for no reason. After all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse."

"We might gossip about it behind their backs, but if we dared to say it to their faces, they could summon their beasts and bite us to death. And nobody would stand up for us. Do you think everyone is Gu Yixuan, with the Little Alliance Leader backing them up?"

"That's true. A seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer is, after all, a person of extraordinary status. Although he lost face, he didn't suffer any real loss."

"As for Instructor Meng, he's only a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster, but this time he's really been dragged down badly by Meng Lide."

"Not necessarily. It mainly depends on whether the higher-ups of the Qiongqi Meng family are willing to protect him. Besides, a sixth-tier commander beast tamer is not weak, so it's not our place to worry about him."

"That makes sense..."

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Apart from the already pardoned Marquis of Zhilan, Meng Lide and his mentor Meng Zhouyun still kneel outside Zhou Heng's floating fortress.

As a sixth-tier commander beast tamer and a fourth-tier grandmaster beast tamer, their physical strength is extraordinary; they could kneel for another thirty days without any problem.

But as time went on, their hearts sank lower and lower.

Just then, a trembling figure dressed in yellow appeared in their sight, and the two burst into tears of joy.

"Ancestor Kunling!"

"Ancestor Kunling, have you come to save us? Please, please save us quickly!"

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family stood in the air, glanced at Meng Lide and Meng Zhoujun with his turbid eyes, and then turned and flew towards the floating fortress.

"Ancestor! Ancestor Kunling..."

The two called out to Kunling King as if grasping at a straw, but Kunling King's figure had already disappeared.

……

Inside the floating fortress, Zhou Heng sat in the main seat, while Kunling King sat in the guest seat.

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family was extremely sincere: "Young Alliance Leader, the Qiongqi Meng family was at fault this time. On behalf of the Qiongqi Meng family, I apologize to you and your friends."

Zhou Heng held the teacup in his hand, a knowing smile on his face: "It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. To err is human, to forgive divine."

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family nodded repeatedly: "What you said makes perfect sense!"

Seeing that Kunling King was so sensible, Zhou Heng stopped making things difficult for him: "Seventeenth Elder, now that you're here, you can take the person back!"

Kunling King holds the position of Sequence Elder within the Alliance. Although he is over 590 years old this year, he is the oldest among all the Sequence Elders.

However, he is an eighth-tier Monarch Beastmaster with S-level talent, and he is devoted to improving his family's breeding program and does not pay much attention to personal combat strength, so his combat strength is relatively weak, which is why he is only ranked seventeenth.

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you very much, Young Alliance Leader!"

Then he suddenly steered the conversation to something Zhou Heng was interested in: "I heard that you are passionate about the research of nurturing masters, and you recently became a gold nurturing master."

Zhou Heng nodded: "That's right, I was promoted to a high-level gold-level trainer several months ago."

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family feigned surprise: "Your nurturer level has already reached the upper-level gold? In that case, isn't that just one step away from becoming a diamond nurturer?"

Zhou Heng remained calm and composed: "It is indeed a step away, but this step is not simple and has stumped many people."

Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family flattered him repeatedly, saying, "What may be as difficult as climbing to heaven for others is as easy as turning one's hand for you."

Zhou Heng had long been immune to flattery, so he simply replied with a polite, casual remark: "Seventeenth Elder is too kind."
