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

The Shadow King of the Huo family stepped forward: "Young Alliance Leader, please come with us. The coronation ceremony is about to begin."

Zhou Heng and the others immediately followed the two eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamers from the Huo family of the Underworld Butterfly Clan to the place where the King Conferment Ceremony was being held.

This place is very close to the ancestral hall of the Huo family of the Mingdie clan.

Zhou Heng took the seat of honor without hesitation, with a group of eighth-tier monarch beast tamers and many seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers accompanying him below.

Zhou Heng glanced at them and saw that, apart from the people from the Four Religions and Three Associations, almost all the eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamers from the Alliance and the Beast Tamer Guild had arrived.

However, there were exceptions; the Thousand-Faced King of the Xuanwu Ling family was also absent.

That's quite normal. After all, the Thousand-Faced King of the Xuanwu Ling family is busy evolving his main beasts to the high-level mythical quality. Unless something life or death happens, the Thousand-Faced King will definitely not leave the Eternal Order Holy Realm casually.

While there was still some time before the ceremony began, Zhou Heng chatted for a few minutes with the group of eighth-tier monarch beast tamers.

Before long, a magnificent piece of music resounded throughout the venue, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, a 100,000-meter-long, ice-blue moth broke through the void and descended from the sky.

The ice-blue moth was a lower-level mythical quality Ice Emperor Frost Moth, and a familiar figure stood on it—Li Xiang, who had a good relationship with Zhou Heng.

Since Li Xiang married into the Mingdie Huo family, he belongs to the Mingdie Huo family. Therefore, at today's celebration of Li Xiang's investiture as a king, he must worship the ancestral hall of the Mingdie Huo family in front of everyone.

After a series of elaborate ancestral worship ceremonies, a figure dressed in a white and gold robe descended from the sky. It was none other than Jade Face King, the ancestor of the Heavenly Fox Su family.

Today, as the Third Elder of the Alliance, he was to bestow upon Li Xiang the corresponding position, so he wore the Alliance's official uniform.

Finally, on behalf of the Alliance, he handed over the seal of the Sequence Elder and the appointment document to Li Xiang, officially granting Li Xiang the position of Sequence Elder.

According to the order, Li Xiang was ranked nineteenth, and from then on he could be called the Nineteenth Elder.

This ranking is not static; if someone passes away or dies later, the ranking can be improved.

Of course, you can also choose to challenge the people ahead of you; if you succeed, you will also be promoted in the rankings.

After receiving the imperial seal and appointment document, Li Xiang immediately began to swear an oath, and everyone applauded.

Afterwards, Li Xiang gave a speech, expressing his gratitude to the alliance and the family. At the same time, his beast, the Ice Emperor Frost Moth, spat out a bunch of rare and precious treasures, which everyone present could get a share of. Although they were not worth much money to high-level beast tamers, they were considered a good omen.

Finally, a silver light shone from between Li Xiang's brows, and he returned the Ice Emperor Frost Moth to his Beast Taming Space.

The banquet had just officially begun, and everyone was toasting and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.

Li Xiang personally brought a wine cup to Zhou Heng and toasted him. Zhou Heng naturally drank it to show his respect.

Then, more level eight king-level beast tamers came to toast Zhou Heng, and Zhou Heng did not refuse them.

Seeing this, everyone chatted even more enthusiastically with Zhou Heng.

The atmosphere in the room became more harmonious for a moment.

The banquet celebrating the investiture of the king lasted for several days. After it ended, Zhou Heng met with Li Xiang alone and chatted for a few minutes.

Zhou Heng patted Li Xiang's arm: "Elder Li, you've really made a name for yourself! You're usually so quiet, no one expected you to advance to the eighth-level Monarch Beast Tamer so quickly."

Li Xiang replied modestly, "It was just luck."

Zhou Heng shook his head, his gaze fixed on Li Xiang: "This is no fluke. Hanyue University has seven colleges, and the dean of each college is a seventh-level feudal lord peak beast tamer. You are relatively young among the seven deans, but you are the first to be promoted to eighth-level monarch beast tamer."

Li Xiang didn't take it to heart: "I was just lucky. I awakened an SS-level talent after adulthood, fell in love with my wife, and gained the support of the Huo family of the Underworld Butterfly. If the deans of the other academies had my conditions, they would naturally have already advanced to the eighth-level Monarch Beastmaster."

Zhou Heng bluntly stated, "The deans of the other academies only possess S-level talent. It will likely be difficult for them to advance to the eighth-tier Monarch Beastmaster level."

Li Xiang avoided offending anyone: "They each have their own strengths and are all formidable individuals."

Zhou Heng revealed a piece of gossip: "Elder Li, you are now an eighth-level Monarch Beastmaster. According to the rules of our Eastern Association, it would be a real waste for you to continue serving as the dean of the Comprehensive Theory Academy. I heard from my fourth senior brother that you are going to be promoted to vice president of Hanyue University."

Li Xiang quickly pressed on, "The usual practice at Beast Taming University is to have one principal and two vice-principals. If I'm promoted to vice-principal, will one of the two existing vice-principals be transferred? Who will be transferred?"

Zhou Heng said directly, "The Hengyi Prince of the Shitiewei family spoke to my fourth senior brother, and he volunteered to be transferred."

Li Xiang looked grateful: "Yu Heng, thank you for telling me all this."

Zhou Heng smiled: "You'll find out soon enough, without me having to tell you."

After Li Xiang's investiture ceremony ended, Zhou Heng and his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, and others returned to Han Yue Cave.

Li Xiang, who had already been promoted to an eighth-level King Beastmaster, quickly handed over his duties to Hengyi Wang of the Shitie Wei family and became the new vice principal.

Hengyi Wang of the Shitiewei family left Hanyue University.

The professors of the Comprehensive Theory Academy jointly elected a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer as the new dean of the Comprehensive Theory Academy.

Everything is back on track.

……

Before we knew it, it was already the end of October.

As was customary, Zhou Heng brought six beasts with him to the Eternal Order Sacred Realm.

As soon as he stepped into the palace where Xuan Chen Supreme was, he found that there was another person beside Xuan Chen Supreme.

This man wore an indigo cloak, his face was covered with wrinkles, and he looked to be in his eighties. Standing next to the middle-aged Xuan Chen Supreme, he appeared even more frail and old.

But his eyes were gleaming, and he looked radiant and energetic.

Zhou Heng recognized him at a glance; this was none other than Thousand-Faced King, one of the three eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamers of the Xuanwu Ling family.

He is one of the four elders of the league.

He had been preparing to initiate an evolution ritual for his main beast, planning to evolve it to the quality of a high-level mythical beast.

Their presence here now most likely indicates success.

Zhou Heng stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Master."

"No need for formalities, come and sit with your master." Supreme Xuan Chen beckoned.

"Thank you, Master." Zhou Heng sat down directly next to Xuan Chen Supreme.

Upon seeing this, the Thousand-Faced King of the Xuanwu Ling family bowed and said, "Greetings, Grandmaster Uncle!"

The Thousand-Faced King is the youngest great-grandson of Xuan Chen Supreme, and he should call Xuan Chen Supreme Great-Grandfather.

As Xuan Chen Supreme's disciple, Zhou Heng is naturally the grand-uncle of the Thousand-Faced King in terms of seniority.

The Thousand-Faced King was Zhou Heng's disciple and grand-nephew.

Zhou Heng immediately helped him up: "Nephew, you may rise."

The Thousand-Faced King returned to his original position: "Thank you, Grandmaster Uncle."
