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

Zhou Heng raised his head, his eyes clear and his expression sincere: "We are all close relatives, and we should benefit each other. Even if Master did not give the two ancestors a lot of resources, I will find enough resources to help them become stronger after I grow up."

Patriarch Wanbao patted Zhou Heng on the back and said repeatedly, "Good child, good child! It's truly a blessing for us two old folks to have a junior like you."

Linglong Ancestor also looked at Zhou Heng with a loving expression, her smile never fading.

Zhou Heng said sincerely, "It is my blessing to have such good elders as these two ancestors."

Ancestor Wanbao then instructed, "Heng'er, as the year draws to a close, you shall attend all the ceremonies that require my participation, including ancestral worship, and you shall be in charge of all such ceremonies."

Zhou Heng readily agreed: "Don't worry, Ancestor, I will definitely handle this small matter properly."

Afterwards, Ancestor Wanbao and Ancestor Linglong gave Zhou Heng a few more instructions, and Zhou Heng returned to his Ruilin Island.

……

Several days later, deep within the Canglan Plane, an Eastern dragon, nine hundred kilometers long and covered in purple scales, with countless bolts of lightning flashing around it, began its bloodline transformation under the guidance of the Ancestor Wanbao, using a large number of high-grade natural treasures.

Zhou Heng stood tens of thousands of kilometers away, suspended in mid-air, gazing intently at the evolving Purple Heaven Divine Dragon.

Zhou Heng's six tamed beasts shrank in size and stayed by his side.

As a beast of superior mythical quality, the Devouring Star Kunpeng could hardly comprehend how difficult it was for beasts of lower quality to evolve into superior mythical quality.

Furthermore, since the Devouring Star Kunpeng knew that the resources in the hands of the Myriad Treasures Ancestor could enable the Purple Heaven Divine Dragon to undergo dozens of evolutions, it remained calm and was not worried about the Myriad Treasures Ancestor at all.

The Guixu Divine Dragon was particularly serious because although it was only a lower-level mythological being now, it would be able to directly evolve into a higher-level mythological being after the evolution ritual was initiated. Therefore, it observed the ritual in front of it, in which the Zixiao Divine Dragon, a mid-level mythological being, was evolving into the Lingxiao Emperor Dragon, a higher-level mythological being, with great care.

Although it knew that Zhou Heng could make it show signs of autonomous evolution, and then start the evolution ritual to complete the evolution with 100% certainty.

But the Ruins Dragon still couldn't resist wanting to gain more experience.

Titan Lord, Lucky Qilin King, Three-Headed Azure Phoenix, and Netherworld Demon Dragon simply accompanied Zhou Heng.

Wherever Zhou Heng is, they are there.

None of the four felt much about the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon's evolution towards a higher mythical quality, as it was still a long way off for them.

At this stage, both Titan Lord and Fortune Kirin King only want to advance to the sixth rank as soon as possible, so as to evolve into a mid-level mythical quality.

The three Azure Phoenixes and the Netherworld Demon Dragons were eager to advance to the fifth rank, tenth level, and thus evolve into lower-level mythical quality.

Zhou Heng watched for a while, then said to the six tamed beasts, "It's quite rare to see a tamed beast of mid-level mythical quality evolving into a high-level mythical quality. Except for Wuji, all of you will be evolving into high-level mythical quality in the future, so you can observe this in advance."

Qingfeng was the first to speak up: "Father is right, we will definitely observe carefully."

The Abyss Dragon shrank its body and stood beside Zhou Heng. It stood upright with its purple dragon body upright, its two front paws clasped together, looking indifferent: "What's there to observe? Little Phoenix and I have only just become overlords. We don't know how long it will take before we evolve into high-level mythical beings! Besides, we are just beast tamers. What's the use of observing for half a day? When it comes to evolution, we'll have to see your skills as a beast tamer."

Zhou Heng grabbed one of the Netherworld Demon Dragon's fleshy wings, feigning anger, and said, "You rascal, I only said one sentence, and you're going to argue with me ten times over!"

The Abyss Demon Dragon hurriedly pulled back its purple fleshy wings, stubbornly saying, "What's wrong with what I said? Old Deng, anyway, your second talent is so powerful that it can directly enhance our bloodline."

Guixu Shenlong said in a serious tone, "Although Father's second talent is powerful, we also need to work hard and not let Father's second talent down."

The Abyss Dragon said matter-of-factly, "If we were following a beast tamer with poor talent, of course we should work hard. But Old Deng's talent is so good, what do we need to work hard for?"

Zhou Heng flicked the forehead of the Netherworld Demon Dragon: "Tyrant, stop talking nonsense here. It won't do you any harm to watch how the Purple Heaven Divine Dragon evolved into the Soaring Heaven Emperor Dragon."

The Abyss Dragon stretched out its claw and touched its forehead: "Old Deng, don't flick my head! This is only the Purple Heaven Divine Dragon's first evolution towards a high-level mythical quality. Not everyone is like you, able to make their tamed beasts show signs of autonomous evolution. Therefore, the Purple Heaven Divine Dragon definitely won't succeed on the first try."

Zhou Heng stretched out his large hand and grabbed the mouth of the Netherworld Demon Dragon, warning, "You troublemaker, don't jinx it! If the Ancestor hears you saying that and makes him angry, I won't help you."

The Netherworld Demon Dragon shook its head, shaking off Zhou Heng's hand: "I'm telling the truth, and unlike you old fool, the Ancestor isn't that petty..."

Zhou Heng's eyes widened: "What if our ancestor is one of those lucky ones who succeeds on the first try?"

The Netherworld Demon Dragon naturally wouldn't believe this: "That's impossible. This is a mid-level myth evolving into a high-level myth, not a mid-level gold evolving into a high-level gold."

Upon hearing the words of the Netherworld Demon Dragon, Zhou Heng suddenly thought of Li Lang.

Back in high school, when Li Lang was evolving his initial beast from high-rank gold to low-rank diamond, the evolution of the Frost Giant Bear into the Frost Bear King was particularly easy among beasts of the same level. He was also quite lucky and succeeded on his first try.

Li Lang was quite pleased with himself for a long time and even went to Zhou Heng to show off. Zhou Heng was also very happy for Li Lang.

The evolution of the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon into the Soaring Cloud Emperor Dragon is now hundreds of millions of times more difficult than the evolution of the Frost Giant Bear into the Frost Bear.

Although Ancestor Wanbao is a peak eighth-tier monarch-level beast tamer, it probably won't be easy for him to succeed, at least not on his first try.

Even with the blessing of the auspicious Qilin King, this is still the case.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng stopped arguing with the Netherworld Demon Dragon and continued to quietly observe how Ancestor Wanbao initiated the evolution ritual for the Purple Heaven Divine Dragon.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon is still evolving, showing neither signs of failure nor success.

Because this is just the beginning.

According to the information Zhou Heng had gathered, it would take a considerable amount of time for the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon, which was of mid-level mythical quality, to evolve into the Soaring Cloud Emperor Dragon, which was of high-level mythical quality, after the evolution ritual was initiated. It would take at least a year to see the result.

This isn't considered slow; some evolution rituals take even longer to evolve a mid-level mythical beast into a high-level mythical beast.

Of course, some beasts of equal quality take even less time to acquire.

The specific situation varies from person to person.
