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

None of the existing powerful families in the alliance want any more powerful families to emerge and take away their resources.

Therefore, they have a tacit understanding to restrict the circulation of beast cubs of the Overlord quality and above, so as to maintain their dominant position.

Of course, more importantly, beast tamers are not ordinary extraordinary creatures, but a unique existence formed by the contract between extraordinary creatures and humans.

The higher the quality of the beast taming, the more rules and power it can access as it progresses, and the more of these rules and power it will occupy.

Therefore, the laws of the universe stipulate that the number of beast contracts is limited starting from the Overlord quality.

At any given time, there can only be a maximum of three dominant beasts of the same type in the universe that can be contracted by a beast tamer.

If this number is exceeded, the contract will inevitably fail.

For example, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, a mid-level overlord quality, can only be contracted by a maximum of three people at the same time.

If all three contract slots are filled, even if someone later obtains a cub-stage Overturning Silver Dragon, they will not be able to successfully form a contract.

Moreover, the beasts that could have evolved into the Overturning Silver Dragon can no longer be evolved into the Overturning Silver Dragon by the beast tamer because they no longer have a contract slot.

Faced with this situation, you either have to wait for the Beastmaster who has contracted the Overturning Silver Dragon to evolve it, thus freeing up a slot.

For example, if the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon evolves into the Returning Void Divine Dragon, then one of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon's contract slots will become vacant.

Alternatively, killing the beast tamer who occupies this position will free up the space.

When it reaches the mythical quality, it becomes a beast of the same type, and at most two people can form a contract with it at the same time.

However, since there are not many Beastmasters who can evolve their Beasts to Mythical quality, their evolution paths are less likely to overlap.

But there is a slight chance of running into one.

To fundamentally eliminate this kind of trouble, all major powers tacitly restrict the dissemination of detailed evolution rituals for beasts of Hegemon quality and above, ensuring that their descendants always possess core competitiveness.

Teacher Wanbao reminded her, "Heng'er, you should give your contracted partner a name."

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment: "As the saying goes, 'A dragon soars in the sky, ready to display its grand ambitions,' so let's call it 'Fei Hong' (Soaring to Great Heights)!"

Ancestor Wanbao clapped his hands and laughed: "Not bad, not bad! This name has a lot of meaning."

Zhou Heng was very humble and polite: "I have made a fool of myself. Please don't laugh at me, Ancestor."

Ancestor Wanbao looked at Zhou Hengqing with great favor: "You child, you are calm and composed, with a spirit that is not elated by external gains or saddened by personal losses. Combined with your superior talent, you are destined for great things."

Don't think that Zhou Heng's S-level talent is not impressive just because Zhou Heng's tenth uncle has an SS-level talent.

But in reality, that's not the case at all.

The entire Zhou family now only has two individuals with SS-level talents.

One is Wanbaowang in front of us, and the other is Zhou Heng's tenth uncle.

The rest, including Zhou Heng's grandparents, only had S-level talents.

Zhou Heng became even more humble: "Thank you for the praise, Ancestor. I still have many shortcomings that I need to learn from the elders in my family and Ancestor."

The Zhou family patriarch stroked his beard with a smile.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a diamond-shaped gemstone, entirely silver and radiating golden light, appeared before Zhou Heng: "This inheritance crystal contains records of the evolutionary path and detailed evolutionary rituals of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, which our family has discovered."

Zhou Heng happily accepted the inheritance crystal: "Thank you, Ancestor."

He immediately placed the silver inheritance crystal between his eyebrows and briefly examined the information within.

More than half an hour later, he opened his eyes and put the inheritance crystal into his storage watch.

Ancestor Wanbao asked, "How is it? Do you understand the subsequent evolutionary path of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon?"

Zhou Heng replied respectfully, "Reporting to the Ancestor, Yu Heng has a general understanding."

Ancestor Wanbao's eyes flickered: "Which path do you plan to take for the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon? Or rather, to what extent do you intend to cultivate it?"

Without hesitation, Zhou Heng chose the strongest evolution path: "Ancestor, I want to first cultivate the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon into the Returning Void Divine Dragon, and then cultivate it into the Primordial Ying Dragon."

"Heng'er, the Guixu Divine Dragon is of lower-level mythical quality, while the Primordial Yinglong is of higher-level mythical quality. It is difficult, but still possible, to leap from a mid-level overlord to a lower-level mythical. However, even for a large family like ours, leaping from a lower-level mythical to a higher-level mythical is extremely difficult."

The old patriarch Zhou couldn't help but remind him, "You must know that even our ancestor's Purple Heaven Divine Dragon is only of mid-level mythical quality! In fact, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon can also be gradually cultivated into a Purple Heaven Divine Dragon. This is the most reliable evolutionary route that our family has experimented with for thousands of years. Currently, only our ancestor has contracted with the Purple Heaven Divine Dragon in the alliance. According to the laws of the universe, this era can accommodate one more beast tamer who has contracted with the Purple Heaven Divine Dragon."

Zhou Heng's expression was gentle, but his tone was firm: "Grandpa makes a lot of sense, but I still want to give it a try."

If he didn't have the Spirit Source Pearl, he would naturally choose the safest and simplest route.

But with the Spirit Source Pearl in hand, he was determined to try the most powerful route.

Given enough time to accumulate golden energy points, he can evolve the Overturning Silver Dragon into the Primordial Yinglong without an evolution ritual.

"Heng'er's choice is correct. Even if Heng'er cannot cultivate the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon into the Primordial Ying Dragon in the future, cultivating it into the Returning Void Divine Dragon should not be a problem. If she is fortunate enough to cultivate it into the Primordial Ying Dragon, the entire family will receive unimaginable benefits!"

On the contrary, Ancestor Wanbao was very supportive of Zhou Heng's choice: "Moreover, I've already taken one spot to contract the Purple Heaven Divine Dragon, leaving only one spot. Although I haven't heard of anyone else in the Eastern Alliance contracting the Purple Heaven Divine Dragon, we still need to be cautious. In short, don't stop Heng'er; let him take the plunge!"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Zhou could no longer say anything: "Since the Ancestor has said so, I have no objection."

Zhou Heng smiled broadly: "Thank you, Ancestor. Thank you, Grandpa."

Ancestor Wanbao's eyes were deep: "Heng'er, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Whether you succeed in the future or not is something you need to consider in the future. As long as you are on the path you want to take and have a clear goal, you have already succeeded halfway."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Ancestor!"

He then asked, "Ancestor, since the family has this evolutionary path, surely someone must have successfully cultivated the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon into the Primordial Yinglong in the past?"

"No one in the family has yet managed to cultivate the Overturning Silver Dragon into the Primordial Yinglong. However, there was one in the Beast Tamer Guild who evolved the Overturning Silver Dragon into the Primordial Yinglong. He was the twenty-ninth president of the Beast Tamer Guild headquarters two thousand five hundred years ago. His Primordial Yinglong later grew to the ninth rank, and he became a ninth-rank Emperor Beast Tamer through this."

Ancestor Wanbao recounted the whole story: "This person came from humble beginnings when he was young, but he unexpectedly became acquainted with the seventeenth generation Zhou family patriarch. The two became close friends, which is why our family has this evolutionary path."
