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

After the Xuan Chen Supreme's thousandth birthday banquet ended, Zhou Heng stayed in the Yongxu Sacred Realm for two more days before leaving the Yongxu Sacred Realm with his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang. He then returned to their respective floating fortresses with his parents, son, and nephews.

When Zhou's parents learned that Supreme Xuanchen had given Zhou Heng a tenth-tier treasure-level talisman, they were both happy and excited.

As soon as they landed, the two touched the Gouchen Zhulong amulet on Zhou Heng's chest with great care, as if it were a sacred object.

After all, this was a legendary tenth-tier treasure, and it was the first time that Zhou's parents had ever seen it.

Father Zhou was so surprised he could hardly describe it: "The Supreme Alliance Leader is so kind to you, even giving you a tenth-grade treasure. Our Divine Dragon Zhou family has been passed down for over three thousand years, and the Soul Gathering and Fortune-Extending Pearl enshrined in our ancestral hall is only a ninth-grade top-quality item."

Zhou Heng tentatively asked, "Doesn't your family have any hidden tenth-tier treasures?"

Father Zhou chuckled, "My dear son, do you think tenth-tier treasures are so easy to obtain? First of all, there are the materials; they require a large amount of tenth-tier spiritual materials. And as you know, tenth-tier spiritual materials can help beasts evolve to the upper-level mythical realm, or even the chaotic quality, which makes them extremely valuable. Moreover, the first choice for aristocratic families when they obtain tenth-tier spiritual materials is not to refine treasures or concoct potions, but to use them as resources for evolving beasts."

He explained, "Even if we were willing to use tenth-tier spiritual materials to forge a treasure, we would still need to find a tenth-tier blacksmith. Tenth-tier blacksmiths don't exist in every era. Because the advancement of a blacksmith is quite difficult, second only to a nurturing master, there are often gaps in the number of tenth-tier blacksmiths. More importantly, forging treasures has a probability of failure, so under the influence of various factors, the number of tenth-tier treasures is particularly small."

Zhou's mother gazed at Zhou Heng tenderly: "The Supreme Alliance Leader bestowed upon you a tenth-tier treasure so easily, it's as if he treats you like his own son. Even a son might not receive such treatment."

Father Zhou nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Tenth-tier treasures are extremely valuable, and they are also useful to beings at the Supreme level. That's the most important thing."

Zhou's mother was overjoyed for Zhou Heng: "My dear son, you are so lucky to have met such a wonderful master as the Supreme Alliance Leader."

Zhou Heng could naturally feel the favoritism shown to him by Xuan Chen Supreme: "Master is indeed very good to me! When I first became his disciple, he gave me three pieces of eighth-grade top-quality life-saving equipment, and now he has given me a tenth-grade low-quality life-saving equipment."

Father Zhou sighed, "The Void Ring, Dragon Scale Bracelet, and Illusion Matrix Gem Pendant are also extremely valuable treasures. The Supreme Alliance Leader has truly put a lot of effort into you."

Zhou Heng didn't say much, but said firmly, "I will definitely repay my master in the future."

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou both showed genuine smiles.

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and said, "Dad and Mom, I now have a tenth-grade low-rank Gouchen Zhulong talisman. The three eighth-grade top-rank treasures that Master gave me as a gift are no longer of much use to me. However, you don't have enough powerful life-saving equipment to protect yourselves, so I want to give you these three eighth-grade life-saving equipment. That way, I will feel more at ease."

Father Zhou waved his hand and declined, saying, "We already have two eighth-tier three-eyed white tigers, arranged by the Supreme Alliance Leader, protecting us, so our safety is not a problem at all. Although the Illusionary Void Matrix Gem Pendant, Dragon Scale Bracelet, and Void Ring are not as high-grade as the Gouchen Candle Dragon Amulet, they were still gifts from the Supreme Alliance Leader. It would be inappropriate for you to give them to us."

Zhou Heng scoffed, "Don't worry, Master certainly won't care about such a trivial matter. Besides, what Master has already given me is naturally my prerogative. How could such a supreme being like him concern himself with something like this?"

Zhou's mother always put Zhou Heng first: "Eighth-tier life-saving equipment may not be as good as tenth-tier life-saving equipment, but it still has a life-saving effect. The more you wear, the safer you will be. Although we are your parents, our talents are only A-level. Who would target us? On the contrary, your talent is too good, and you have become a thorn in the side of many people. Therefore, your safety is the most important thing."

Zhou Heng had his own thoughts: "If someone can break through the protection of the Gouchen Zhulong Talisman and injure me, the other three eighth-tier life-saving equipment pieces are completely useless in front of such an existence. If he can't break through the protection of the Gouchen Zhulong Talisman, the other three eighth-tier life-saving equipment pieces are dispensable. So after I have the Gouchen Zhulong Talisman, unless it's a life-saving equipment of the same level, it won't be of much use to me. And don't forget, Master also arranged for Senior Yu Ming to protect me; it's a ninth-tier Han Hai Xuan Wu."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou exchanged a glance: "In that case, we'll do as you say."

Zhou Heng immediately said, "These three top-grade eighth-tier life-saving equipment pieces are for Dad, Mom, and Zheng'er."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou smiled broadly, their faces beaming.

Zhou Hongzheng, held in his mother's arms, looked rather chubby and innocent; he didn't understand what the adults were talking about.

Zhou Heng's eyes flashed with purple light as he probed the Void Ring with his spiritual power and said to the Vast Ocean Black Tortoise, which had been sleeping inside the Void Ring, "Senior Yu Ming, I want to give you a new home."

A streak of dark blue light flew out from the Void Ring and transformed in mid-air into a miniature dark blue Xuanwu, only the size of a fist.

Zhou Heng smiled and invited, "Senior Yu Ming, my master gave me a tenth-grade low-level treasure, the Gouchen Zhulong Talisman. The space inside this treasure can manifest an environment most suitable for you, so you will be more comfortable inside."

Han Hai Xuanwu was greatly surprised: "Gouchen Zhulong Amulet? I didn't expect that when I woke up after taking a nap, even the Supreme Lord would give you this treasure."

Zhou Heng smiled brightly: "It just so happens to be Master's 1000th birthday. Master was in a good mood, so he gave me the Gouchen Zhulong Talisman and the Ziwei Tengshe Talisman to my fourth senior brother."

The Xuanwu of the Vast Ocean frowned slightly. It did not object to the Xuan Chen Supreme giving the Gouchen Zhulong Talisman to Zhou Heng; in fact, it wholeheartedly agreed.

After all, Zhou Heng has extremely high potential. Once he grows up, he will become the next tenth-tier supreme beast tamer.

Moreover, Zhou Heng possesses the bloodline of the Xuanwu Ling family, so it is only natural for him to invest in advance.

But King Rongtu was different.

Although Rongtu Wang also has two talents, both of his talents are SS-level, which is still a step behind Zhou Heng.

Rongtu Wang will at most be a ninth-tier Emperor Beastmaster in the future, far inferior to Zhou Heng.

In Han Hai Xuanwu's view, giving Zhou Heng the Gouchen Zhulong Talisman would surely benefit the Xuanwu Ling family in the future, given Zhou Heng's grateful nature.

For the Xuanwu Ling family, the Ziwei Tengshe Amulet falling into the hands of Rongtu King was a completely unprofitable deal.
