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

After listening quietly to Zhou Heng's analysis, San Shou Qingfeng nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Dad is absolutely right."

The Devouring Star Kunpeng also expressed its support: "Humans are different from beast tamers. We beast tamers are not bound by human morality, but humans have many strange rules. Therefore, human marriage is not a game. Indeed, as Father said, the marriage between the Ling family and the Zhou family cannot be decided so easily."

Zhou Heng explained his plan: "So I neither agreed nor refused outright. If Ling Yisheng is a smart man, he will naturally understand what I mean. If his daughter wants to marry my son, it will have to wait until both of them are over eighteen and have fully awakened their talents."

The Netherworld Dragon teased from the side, "Old Deng is usually unreliable, but he never lets you down when it matters. You've thought things through quite far this time, which is commendable."

Zhou Heng reached out to try and shove the Netherworld Demon Dragon off his shoulder: "Go play somewhere else, stop being so sarcastic."

The Netherworld Dragon grabbed Zhou Heng by the collar with its front claws and wouldn't let go.

Seeing this, Zhou Heng smiled and let it go.

The three-headed Azure Phoenix said specifically, "Brother Hongzheng is Father's biological son. When he grows up and gets married, he must choose the best person. Whether it's talent, family background, or anything else, he must be top-notch."

The usually taciturn Guixu Divine Dragon spoke up: "Actually, the key is talent. If Xiao Hongzheng has an SS-level talent in the future, his partner, to be worthy of him, should ideally also have an SS-level talent, and at the very least, an S-level talent. If Xiao Hongzheng has an S-level talent, then it's best to find him a partner with an S-level talent; if that's not possible, an A-level talent will barely suffice. The same applies to other talents. In short, no matter what Xiao Hongzheng's talent is, it's best to find a partner with a talent comparable to his. If that's not possible, his partner's talent should at most be one level lower than his."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but praise, "Feihong, you've almost figured out the pattern! You're amazing!"

Guixu Shenlong's tone became much lighter: "Thank you for the praise, Father."

Suddenly, the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix thought of another problem: "Ling Yisheng's daughter only used an eighth-order Yuan Yan Life Body Nurturing Divine Flower. I remember Dad said before that children born from this level of Yuan Yan Life Body Nurturing Divine Flower are unlikely to awaken SS-level talents. Although there is hope of awakening S-level talents, the probability is not that high. It is more likely to be an A-level talent."

Zhou Heng shook his head, his tone quite calm: "Not necessarily. Probability is unpredictable. Take Yan Haosen, who's the same age as me, for example. His father, Yan Yunguang, never married, and he was also conceived using a Yuan Yan Life Body Divine Flower, yet he has an S-level talent. I asked my parents before, and they said Yan Yunguang used the same eighth-tier Sun Soul Yuan Yan Life Body Divine Flower. The probability of a child born from a Yuan Yan Life Body Divine Flower of this level awakening an S-level talent isn't very high, but Yan Haosen happens to have an S-level talent. Therefore, Ling Yisheng's daughter also has a chance to awaken an S-level talent."

Taking the opportunity, the Lucky Qilin King asked, "If one day, when my younger brother Hongzheng grows up, he falls for a woman with poor talent and a poor family background, what should I do, Father?"

Zhou Heng shrugged: "Then I can only support him."

San Shou Qingfeng exclaimed, "Dad is so open-minded!"

Zhou Heng is extremely clear-headed: "I have always believed that although children are the continuation of blood, they are essentially independent individuals. They will have their own path to walk in the future. I will remind them and support them, but I will not walk their life path for them."

Three-Headed Azure Phoenix couldn't help but say, "Why does it feel like Daddy isn't a first-time father? Daddy knows so much!"

Zhou Heng's gaze swept over each of the six beasts: "Of course this isn't my first time being a father. Before I had Zheng'er, weren't there you six first? You are also my children, and to be precise, you are more important than my children. My children may leave me one day, but you will never leave me."

The three-headed Azure Phoenixes were absolutely determined: "Father is right, we will never leave Father. We have a beast-taming contract with Father, and we will live and die with him forever!"

The Ruins Dragon's voice was steady: "It is our blessing to be Father's contract partner."

The Devouring Star Kunpeng nudged Zhou Heng's lower back with its head: "Father treats us as his sons, and we treat Father as our father."

The Titan Lord had high emotional intelligence: "Every moment spent with my father is forever."

The Lucky Qilin King's eyes were extremely gentle: "I hope we and Father will never be separated."

The Netherworld Demon Dragon was touched, but pretended not to care and teased, "Old Deng is getting better and better at playing the emotional card."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng interacted with the six tamed beasts for a while before returning to the breeding base to continue researching the subsequent evolution ritual of the Golden Scaled Fish Dragon.

……

July arrived in the blink of an eye.

On the first day of the seventh lunar month, Zhou Heng once again led six beasts out of the breeding base and arrived at a relatively flat and wide area in the floating fortress.

"Hehe! Old Deng is going to boost our strength again. I've already reached the peak of the third level of the fifth rank. This time, I'm sure I can break through to the fourth level of the fifth rank!" The Netherworld Demon Dragon chuckled and soared into the air from Zhou Heng's shoulder. In the blink of an eye, it transformed from a palm-sized miniature demon dragon into a purple dragon that was 720 meters long.

It spreads its pair of purple fleshy wings, and with each flap, it stirs up gusts of wind.

Zhou Heng watched this scene with a smile in his eyes: "This guy is getting more and more mischievous."

Three-headed Azure Phoenix casually said, "That's just its personality, Dad doesn't need to worry about it."

Zhou Heng glanced at the three-headed Azure Phoenix and the Returning Void Divine Dragon: "Not only the Tyrant, but you and Fei Hong should also make breakthroughs this time."

The Ruins Dragon was calm and composed, so it wasn't particularly excited.

The three-headed Azure Phoenix nuzzled Zhou Heng's chin affectionately, saying, "Just as Father said, I am indeed only one step away from the fourth level of the fifth rank, and Fei Hong is the same way away from the fifth level of the fifth rank. With Father's spiritual power, we will definitely make progress this time."

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "It is indeed time for you to break through."

He then looked at the Devouring Star Kunpeng and the Titan Lord: "As for Wuji and the Emperor God, it hasn't been long since your last breakthrough, so you probably won't be able to break through your level this time."

The Devouring Star Kunpeng spoke sincerely, without the slightest hint of pretense: "Seeing Fei Hong, Jiu Xiao, and Tyrant gradually catching up, I am especially happy for them."

It is, after all, a mythical beast of superior quality, and can sit idly by forever, unafraid that Zhou Heng's other beasts will easily surpass it.
