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

Zhou Heng thought for a moment, then carefully put the three pages of Wuyou Supreme's original notes into his storage watch: "Since Master has said so, then I will accept them for now. I promise Master that no matter what happens in the future, as long as the Xuanwu Ling family needs these three pages of original notes, I will definitely return them to them at any time."

Seeing that Zhou Heng had accepted the three pages of Wuyou Supreme's original notes, Xuan Chen Supreme smiled and patted the back of Zhou Heng's head: "You child, you're good in every way, except that you're too obedient and too honest. What your master gives you is yours. If anyone from the Xuanwu Ling family wants to borrow it in future generations, that's fine. But don't mention returning it again. There's no reason for a master to take back what he's given to his disciple."

Zhou Heng was deeply moved: "Master has been so good to me, I..."

Xuan Chen Supreme looked as if he had expected this: "As soon as you opened your mouth, I knew what you wanted to say. Are you going to say again that you have nothing to repay me with? I didn't take you as my disciple because I wanted your repayment. At first, it was because I valued your talent, and later it was because I genuinely cared for you from the bottom of my heart. After all, you are sensible, talented, and grateful. You never abuse your status to act recklessly. With a character like yours, how could any elder not love you? I won't say any more. Anyway, you should cherish what I have given you."

He patted Zhou Heng's hand: "If you really feel bad about it, then try to see if you can decipher the secrets in this original notebook. Of course, you don't have to force it, since it's highly likely that only by collecting all the original notebooks can you unlock the secrets. Or you could advance to Overlord Trainer sooner; that would be the best way to repay your teacher."

Zhou Heng nodded heavily: "I have remembered Master's words. No one has been able to obtain the secrets in the Worry-Free Supreme Notes for thousands of years, and I am afraid I do not have that ability either, but I am still somewhat confident in advancing to the level of a Hegemon Cultivator. Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely not let you down."

Xuan Chen Supreme nodded with a smile, his expression incredibly kind.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng took his leave with his six tamed beasts.

The Thousand-Faced King watched Zhou Heng's figure disappear from the spot, a look of utter confusion on his face: "Great-Grandfather, I've always had a question: why are you so good to Zhou Yuheng? Not only do you teach him everything you know, but today you even gave him the original fragment of the Notes of the Worry-Free Supreme. Add to that the tenth-tier life-saving equipment, the Gouchen Candle Dragon Amulet, that you gave him before, and countless high-level spiritual items. This far exceeds the treatment you gave to your previous disciples."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Although he has unparalleled talent and your bloodline, he is ultimately not a member of our Xuanwu Ling family, but rather a member of the Shenlong Zhou family. The better his talent, the more we should suppress him and not let him easily advance to the tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer."

Xuan Chen Supreme stared intently at the Thousand-Faced King until the Thousand-Faced King lowered his head, then he slowly spoke: "You are the closest relative I have left in this world, and I don't want to hide anything from you. To be honest, Heng'er's talent is too good, even stronger than the average SSS-level talent. When I first took him as my disciple, even though he was my bloodline descendant, I was quite jealous of him, and even had the thought of suppressing him for the sake of the Xuanwu Ling family."

The Thousand-Faced King looked up, his expression still puzzled, as if to say, "Why don't you take action?"

Xuan Chen Supreme suddenly revealed an extremely solemn expression, with a hint of lingering fear: "But as soon as I had this thought, the Holy Spirit of the Realm, which was the ancestor of Dinghai, came to tell me that the Xuanwu Ling family's fortune had plummeted and that the family would face a great crisis. And as soon as I had the thought of being good to him, the Xuanwu Ling family's fortune suddenly soared, and the family will gain great opportunities in the future."

The Thousand-Faced King was shocked: "How is this possible?! I can understand the clan's fortune rising—you've become a tenth-tier supreme beast tamer, so the clan's fortune will definitely rise—but how could the clan's fortune decline because of your single thought?"

Xuan Chen Supreme remained expressionless, like a statue: "Nothing is impossible. Although the matter is outrageous, the facts are right here. Moreover, it is thanks to the bloodline of Ancestor Dinghai that he has it; otherwise, the Holy Spirit that Ancestor Dinghai transformed into would not have been able to sense that the source of all this is on him."

"this……"

The Thousand-Faced King's throat tightened: "Could this be a coincidence?"

Supreme Xuan Chen shook his head firmly: "It is no coincidence."

The Thousand-Faced King trembled, his voice shaking: "He can actually influence the rise and fall of the Xuanwu Ling family's clan fortune? Just what kind of being is he?"

Xuan Chen Supreme rubbed his temples, completely helpless: "It's hard to say, but what's certain is that we must not have any bad intentions. We can only try our best to support him and treat him well. Maybe the Xuanwu Ling family can benefit from this in the future."

The Thousand-Faced King stared at Supreme Xuan Chen, trying his best to confirm that Supreme Xuan Chen's mental state was not in any problem.

He cautiously probed, "Great-Grandpa, it's not that I don't believe you, but I want to confirm one more time that you're not talking nonsense, are you?"

Xuan Chen Supreme's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his tone icy: "Why would I need to lie to you about something like this? If you don't believe me, you can go to the ancestral hall and ask Ancestor Dinghai yourself."

The Thousand-Faced King was greatly alarmed and subconsciously asked, "Haven't you ever thought about changing things?"

Xuan Chen Supreme's voice gradually lowered, sounding extremely somber: "Change what? Are you trying to say that I am already a tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer, invincible in the world, so why should I care about these things? But have you ever considered whether a tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer is truly the strongest existence in the world?"

The Thousand-Faced King felt a chill spread from his chest, filling his limbs and bones, instantly making this peak eighth-tier king-level beast tamer's hands and feet go cold: "Isn't that so?"

Supreme Xuanchen remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking, "Have you ever heard of the concept of 'one certificate for eternal validity'?"

The Thousand-Faced King nodded and said, "Great-Grandfather, I've heard of it, but it's just a baseless legend. Even a tenth-tier supreme beast tamer can't do that."

Supreme Xuanchen made a bold hypothesis: "Perhaps there is an even higher realm above the tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer, and this realm can grant immortality, eternal proof, and even the ability to arbitrarily reverse time and space, achieving eternal invincibility across all timelines!"

He connected all of this with Zhou Heng: "According to this plan, Heng'er may seem to be just a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer now, but if someone of my level were to harm Heng'er, something incredibly terrible might happen in the next instant."

Cold sweat beaded on the Thousand-Faced King's forehead, his heart gripped by a tremendous, unknown fear: "Great-Grandpa, I feel like I know something I shouldn't know..."

Having lived for over five hundred years, he was as small and helpless as a toddler who had just crawled out of his crib and was seeing the real world.
