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

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Senior brother is joking. Master is already a tenth-tier supreme beast tamer, at the pinnacle of the universe. I've only just become a sixth-tier commander beast tamer. I'm still far from that level!"

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang knew how amazing Zhou Heng's talent was and placed high hopes on him: "Your second talent is more special than ordinary SSS-level talents. Ordinary SSS-level talents can only guarantee becoming a ninth-level Emperor Beast Tamer, and may not necessarily become a tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer. But your second talent is different. As long as you continue to grow step by step, you will eventually be able to rival Master and become the fifth tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer in the history of the Eastern Alliance."

Zhou Heng was not arrogant because of this: "But that's ultimately a matter for the future; we still need to focus on the present."

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tu Wang thought for a moment, then showed an extremely sincere expression: "Junior Brother, what you said makes perfect sense. Not to mention the long term, just look at the present. You became a sixth-level Commander Beast Tamer at the age of twenty-four, making you the youngest sixth-level Commander Beast Tamer in thousands of years. This is truly a great and joyous occasion! Congratulations, Junior Brother."

Zhou Heng politely replied, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

He then added, "Senior brother, I'll stop talking to you now; I need to go see our master."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang patted Zhou Heng on the arm: "Go quickly! Master will definitely be happy for you when he sees you."

Zhou Heng shared the powerful skills of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng and instantly appeared on Zichen Star in the Eternal Order Holy Realm, where he met Xuanchen Supreme.

He smiled and sat down next to Supreme Xuan Chen: "Master, I've arrived."

Supreme Xuan Chen sized up Zhou Heng and his six beasts, his eyes revealing admiration: "A sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster, not bad! Not bad! To become a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster at your age is second to none, even among all the beastmasters with SSS-level talent throughout history. You truly are my good disciple, making me proud!"

Zhou Heng took Xuan Chen Supreme's arm: "Thank you for the praise, Master."

The Supreme Xuan Chen looked at Zhou Heng with great affection. He was proud to have such a talented disciple as Zhou Heng: "More than 140 years ago, when Cangwu's disciple Lei Xiao was 31 years old, he was promoted to a sixth-level Commander Beastmaster. At that time, Cangwu was extremely proud and showed off everywhere. Now, although Cangwu's disciple has the same SSS-level talent as you, he is far inferior to you, and his future achievements will definitely be different."

Zhou Heng was always extremely obedient and humble in front of Xuan Chen Supreme: "Although I advanced to the sixth-level commander beast tamer seven years earlier than Lei Xiao King, Lei Xiao King will at least be a ninth-level emperor beast tamer in the future, and there is even a possibility that he will advance to the tenth-level supreme beast tamer."

Xuan Chen Supreme's tone was very certain: "According to past practice, Lei Xiao can indeed steadily advance to a ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer, but it's unlikely he can advance to a tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer. Don't be fooled by the fact that his main beast, the Thunderous Purple Qilin, is already at the mid-level Mythical quality; it will still take considerable effort to evolve it to the high-level Mythical quality. As for evolving it to the Chaos quality, the possibility is basically zero. Others may not know the difficulty of advancing to the Chaos quality, but I know it very well."

Zhou Heng subtly flattered Xuan Chen Supreme: "I heard that Ancestor Dinghai advanced to a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster at the age of twenty-eight, and Master advanced to a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster at the age of twenty-seven, both of whom are much stronger than King Leixiao. No wonder Master doesn't take King Leixiao seriously. After all, although King Leixiao's advancement speed is faster than those with talents below SSS level, it's just showing off his limited skills in front of Master."

Supreme Xuan Chen couldn't help but sigh, "Am I not the same in front of you? You advanced to the sixth-level Commander Beast Tamer at the age of twenty-four, while I only advanced to the sixth-level Commander Beast Tamer at the age of twenty-seven. You advanced three years earlier than me. Although the gap between you and King Lei Xiao is not as large as it is between you, it is still quite significant."

Zhou Heng objectively analyzed, "My second talent is support-type, which is more advantageous in improving the strength of beast taming. It's normal for my advancement speed to be faster, and it doesn't mean that my master was weaker than me back then. Besides, I'm not far from twenty-five years old, so saying I'm twenty-five is perfectly acceptable."

Upon hearing this, Supreme Xuanchen spoke directly, "Do you know why I value you so highly? It's precisely because your second talent is support-type!"

Before Zhou Heng could respond, he continued, "Your second talent, Lord of Spiritual Source, is truly extraordinary. Among the thirteen SSS-level talents that have appeared in history, including yours, Lord of Spiritual Source is arguably the most unique. Although it doesn't directly enhance the combat of your beast tamers, it can elevate their bloodline and level out of thin air. It's practically like a cheat code; in the words of over six thousand years ago, it's like having a cheat code. Other beast tamers, even those with an SSS-level talent like you, only appear once every few hundred years, still have to go through countless hardships to initiate evolution rituals and endure numerous failures to improve their beast's quality. But you're different. You only need to continuously infuse your beasts with spiritual energy using Lord of Spiritual Source to evolve their quality."

Zhou Heng did not reveal all his trump cards. Instead, he humbly said, "Actually, the power of spiritual source is not as powerful as Master imagines. Because the power of spiritual source needs to be accumulated over time. If you use the power of spiritual source to make the beast evolve to a higher quality out of thin air, it will consume a lot of spiritual source power."

Xuan Chen Supreme's perspective differed from Zhou Heng's: "Even if directly evolving a beast to a higher quality would consume a significant amount of spiritual energy, the fact that you could so easily induce signs of autonomous evolution in your beast is already astonishing. Inducing autonomous evolution in a beast shouldn't consume much spiritual energy, right?"

He valued Zhou Heng highly, so he understood him very well: "I remember that before your second beast evolved into the Returning Void Divine Dragon, it only used a few dozen strands of spiritual energy to show signs of autonomous evolution. This directly affected the mythical-level evolution ritual. Therefore, it can be seen that even if your beast wants to evolve to the Chaos level and show signs of autonomous evolution in the future, the spiritual energy consumed will not be too much, most likely only a few hundred or a few thousand strands. And your second talent can accumulate one strand of spiritual energy every day. Even if it is several thousand strands of spiritual energy, it will only take several thousand days, which is only one or two years. The lifespan of a high-level beast tamer can often reach hundreds or thousands of years, so one or two years is just a blink of an eye. All things considered, your talent is indeed incredibly powerful. This is not something I said on purpose because I love you. I am just stating the most objective fact."
