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

Zhou Heng explained to his parents, "A while ago, in order to help Jiuxiao, Feihong, and Tyrant break through to the fifth rank as soon as possible and start the evolution ritual, we concentrated all the spiritual energy on them. Now they have all successfully evolved. Although Jiuxiao and Tyrant haven't evolved to mythical quality yet, we don't need to focus all the spiritual energy on them anymore. Wuji has also received some spiritual energy these days, so Wuji's advancement speed has actually increased compared to before."

Mr. Zhou realized what was going on: "So that's how it is. But this is still quite astonishing! You made a contract with the Star-Devouring Kunpeng when you were in your second year of high school, which is less than three years ago. Yet the Star-Devouring Kunpeng has already reached the late stage of the fifth rank. Your mother and I spent more than 20 years training our main beast taming, and we are only at the mid stage of the fifth rank now."

Zhou Heng comforted them, saying, "Haoye Peacock and Jubao Merman are already mid-level overlords, and their growth rate will only increase in the future. Lanyu Chaofeng and Tashui Fuzhu are a little weaker, but they are still lower-level overlords, and their growth rate will also be faster than before."

Looking at Zhou Heng, Zhou's mother's eyes were full of love and relief: "This is all thanks to you, my precious son! Without your help, we couldn't have evolved Jun Ye, Baozhu, Blue Knight, and Green Fairy to Overlord quality so easily."

Zhou Heng then asked, "We're family, so there's no need for such formalities. What levels are the Cloud Thunder Iron-Eating Beast, Jade-Eyed Nine-Tailed Fox, Frost Flame Chiwen, and Bright Light Golden Crow that you contracted later?"

Mother Zhou replied, "Tuanyuan, Jiuling, General Bing, and Mingxi are all naturally born lower-level overlord-quality beasts. Although we two only have A-level talent, they reached the peak of the third tier some time ago and are about to advance to the fourth tier."

Zhou Heng nodded slightly: "This progress is not bad."

Mr. Zhou sighed with some emotion: "Indeed, it's much faster than when we were in school. Back then, we only had high-grade diamond-quality beasts under our contract. In addition, your mother and I were in love and busy with our romance, so we neglected the important matter of training our beasts."

Mrs. Zhou glared at Mr. Zhou reproachfully: "Stop saying such things. Is it something to be proud of?"

Father Zhou didn't take it to heart; on the contrary, he was somewhat proud: "What's shameful about it? We're both only A-level talents. If we had followed the usual path, no matter how hard we tried, we would have remained the same. But we were lucky enough to have Heng'er, and the whole family has benefited from it."

Zhou Heng agreed with his father's words: "Dad is right. Sometimes you lose one thing but gain another. Until the very last moment, no one knows what the outcome will be."

Mr. Zhou smiled broadly: "Anyway, having such an excellent, sensible, and filial son like you is the best outcome."

Zhou Heng smiled as well, then reached out and gently pinched his son Zhou Hongzheng's cheek: "Zheng'er is growing up so fast."

Zhou's mother shook Zhou Hongzheng in her arms: "Children grow especially fast before they turn one year old."

As Zhou Hongzheng's grandfather, Zhou's father had a very kind look in his eyes: "Zheng'er is almost ten months old and will be one year old soon. He will grow even faster after his first birthday and will gradually be able to run and jump."

Zhou Heng said seriously, "Dad and Mom, you've worked so hard. You've taken very good care of Zheng'er."

Mr. Zhou instinctively said, "This is our own grandson, of course we have to take good care of him."

Zhou's mother smiled gently, "We're not ordinary people. Taking care of a child isn't hard work at all; in fact, it's quite fun. Just like when you were little, we raised you ourselves."

Zhou Heng gently rubbed Zhou Hongzheng's little nose: "I really want to see what this child will look like when he grows up."

Zhou's mother had relevant experience: "Children grow up in the blink of an eye. In just a few years, Zheng'er will grow into an adult."

Mr. Zhou bluntly stated, "Babies in swaddling clothes are boring, and grown children are also boring. The most interesting children are those between the ages of five and fifteen."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but tease, "Mom and Dad, you've become parenting experts!"

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were both amused: "Haha..."

……

Half a month later, a huge azure phoenix soared freely above the parasol tree forest inside the floating fortress. Its five-colored wings, magnificent phoenix tail, and graceful posture created a perfect picture.

As the three-headed azure phoenix, measuring 560 meters in size, continued to circle, the phoenix trees in the grove burst into bloom.

As petals fluttered down, the azure light emanating from the three-headed azure phoenixes rose in waves, accompanied by a thick, five-colored mist that stretched out, transforming the entire sycamore forest into a fairyland.

"Clang!"

A clear and melodious phoenix cry resounded in all directions, and the aura of the three-headed azure phoenix suddenly surged. In the blink of an eye, it advanced from the second level of the fifth rank to the third level of the fifth rank.

The three-headed Azure Phoenix, having advanced to the fifth rank, third level, also increased in size, reaching a height of 640 meters.

After breaking through, the three-headed Azure Phoenix shrunk to the size of a palm and instantly flew back to Zhou Heng's side: "Daddy, am I amazing?"

Knowing the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix's personality, Zhou Heng immediately followed up with praise, "Very impressive! You're amazing!"

"Thank you, Daddy." The three-headed Qingfeng kept rubbing its head against Zhou Heng's neck, showing great affection.

Just then, Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren arrived before Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng had expected the two to flatter him again about the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix's breakthrough, but unexpectedly, Marquis Tianyin spoke up instead: "Junior Uncle, do you remember that time you wanted to test the Star-Devouring Kunpeng's combat power, so you went to the wild to hunt extraordinary creatures? As a result, you encountered a peak sixth-tier Tide Sound Sea Lion on Xuanxiao Star. That Tide Sound Sea Lion had dragon blood and showed signs of autonomous evolution through its own abilities, so you let it go. Then the Tide Sound Sea Lion told you that there was a Yellow Mist Star more than 20 million kilometers away from Xuanxiao Star, where three sixth-tier evil creatures were hiding. But later, when we went there together, we found that the three sixth-tier evil creatures were not on the Yellow Mist Star, although they did leave traces there."

Zhou Heng nodded: "I remember, this happened several years ago. Back then, Junior Nephew Qianren specifically left a beast on Huangwu Star, saying that if those three evil creatures returned to Huangwu Star, they should notify us immediately. Could it be that there's news about those three evil creatures?"

Qianrenhou confirmed the matter again: "Junior Uncle is wise. The two-legged flying dragon king I left on Huangwu Star sent a message through the Beast Taming Contract that the sixth-tier winged demon, beard demon, and soul demon have returned to Hunwu Star together."

Zhou Heng said directly, "Then what are we waiting for? The Ten Great Evil Clans are the enemies of humanity. Three sixth-tier evil clans are just practice for me. This time, let's go straight in and catch them like turtles in a jar."

Marquis Tianyin and Marquis Qianren said in unison, "We will follow your instructions, Junior Uncle."
