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

Zhou Heng acknowledged Ling Yisheng's progress in strength over the past few days: "Being able to make reasonable use of resources is also a skill. There are many beast tamers from aristocratic families, but not all of them are as outstanding as you."

Ling Yisheng first made some self-deprecating remarks, and then kept flattering Zhou Heng: "You flatter me too much. How can I be worthy of the title 'outstanding' in front of you? In this era, only you can be worthy of these four words."

Zhou Heng picked up his teacup, his expression calm: "Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and I'm no exception."

Ling Yisheng continued, "You nurtured the Star-Devouring Kunpeng to the second level of the sixth rank a year ago. Judging from your growth rate, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng is probably not far from the third level of the sixth rank now, right?"

Zhou Heng had no intention of hiding his strength. He said directly, "You're right. Wuji is indeed not far from the third level of the sixth rank. He will most likely break through to the third level of the sixth rank before I graduate with my master's degree."

Ling Yisheng's face showed an exaggerated expression: "It's already June, and we'll graduate with our master's degrees in July. It seems that within a month at most, you'll definitely be able to advance the Star Devouring Kunpeng to the third level of the sixth rank. I congratulate you in advance!"

Zhou Heng waved his hand: "There's nothing to congratulate you on. This is just normal speed. My second talent is SSS-level, and Wuji is a high-level mythical-quality beast tamer. It would be unreasonable if its growth rate were slow."

Ling Yisheng couldn't help but feel a little sorry for himself: "What you said makes sense, but your beasts are growing so fast, it's like they're flying in the sky, while we're like we're crawling on the ground."

Zhou Heng casually commented, "At twenty-seven years old, you've already cultivated your Beast Taming to the ninth level of the fourth rank. You've worked hard enough."

Ling Yisheng suddenly sighed: "Back when you took the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, you had already cultivated the Star Devouring Kunpeng to the fifth rank, third level. I was in the same year as you, and now I'm about to graduate with a master's degree, but I'm still not as advanced as you were during the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination. It's really shameful."

Zhou Heng could only say the nice things: "You are a late bloomer, there's no need to rush."

Ling Yisheng spread his hands, a bitter smile plastered on his face: "You're comforting me again. I'm not some late bloomer, I'm more like a late bloomer! Back when we took the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination, I was a fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer, and you were a fifth-tier Battle General Beast Tamer. Now I'm still a fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamer, but you've already become a sixth-tier Commander Beast Tamer. All things considered, I haven't only failed to close the gap between us, but I've actually fallen further behind. I'm truly ashamed to face anyone."

Zhou Heng earnestly comforted him, "If you say it like that, it's pointless. There are always people stronger than you in this world, and there's always something beyond your understanding. No matter how strong someone is, there will always be someone stronger. For example, I can be called a person of unparalleled talent, enough to suppress an era, but in the thousands or tens of thousands of years to come, is it really possible that no one will ever surpass me? It's all uncertain. Even I am like that, let alone you? In fact, as an S-level talent, you are more than capable of anything. In addition, you come from the Xuanwu Ling family, which means you were born into a good family. In the future, you will definitely be able to become a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer. With some effort, you might even be able to become an eighth-level monarch beast tamer like the Kunling King of the Qiongqi Meng family. If you can really achieve such an achievement, it will be enough for countless beings in the universe to look up to you."

Ling Yisheng knew when to stop: "Thank you for your guidance, little ancestor. What you said makes perfect sense. Although I am not as good as you, I am better than most people. Heaven has already been kind enough to me. I should not ask for too much, otherwise I would be stubborn and deluded."

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "It's best if you can figure it out yourself."

Afterwards, Ling Yisheng flattered Zhou Heng from various angles, and Zhou Heng invited him to have a meal in the Heavenly Craft Space.

It wasn't until the afternoon that he left the Heavenly Craft Space with his daughter, Ling Ruoshui.

Zhou Heng then called Zhou Hongzheng over.

He straightened Zhou Hongzheng's collar: "Zheng'er, did you have fun today?"

Zhou Hong grinned, revealing his white canine teeth: "Happy."

Zhou Heng ruffled Zhou Hongzheng's hair: "How about we invite your Uncle Ling and your little sister Ruoshui to come and play in the Heavenly Craft Space more often?"

Although Zhou Hongzheng was smart, he was still young and didn't have overly complicated thoughts: "Sure, but it would be great if more people came to play with me."

Zhou Heng promised, "It will definitely happen, don't worry!"

Zhou Hongzheng immediately extended his little finger: "Then Daddy and I will pinky swear."

Zhou Heng smiled indulgently and extended his little finger: "Okay, I'll pinky swear to you. I'll definitely find you more playmates in the future."

Zhou Heng and Zhou Hongzheng hooked their little fingers together, and the father and son said in unison, "Pinky promise, pinky promise, never to change for ten thousand years, whoever changes is a little dog."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng played with Zhou Hongzheng for a while longer before Zhou Hongzheng was taken away by his parents who had rushed over.

The three-headed Azure Phoenix shrunk in size and stood on Zhou Heng's left shoulder, pacing back and forth: "Dad, I feel that this Ling Yisheng still wants to matchmake Xiao Hongzheng and his daughter. He didn't come to chat with you today at all; he's obviously here specifically for Xiao Hongzheng."

Zhou Heng had already seen this out: "Zheng'er is my son, and his future talent is definitely not lacking. Faced with such a desirable son, it is only natural that Ling Yisheng would want to become Zheng'er's father-in-law."

The Ruins Dragon coiled around Zhou Heng's forearm and flicked its tail: "Father, are you planning to tacitly approve of this?"

Zhou Heng had already made up his mind: "The two children are still young now, so it's a good thing that they can have a childhood sweetheart they can get along with. When they grow up in the future, they will naturally have their own ideas. In any case, I will support Zheng'er."

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng in its divine Kun form chimed in, "Whether Ling Yisheng can become Xiao Hongzheng's father-in-law ultimately depends on whether his daughter and Xiao Hongzheng are destined to be together."

Time quickly passed to late June, and Zhou Heng took some time to visit the Eternal Order Holy Realm again, where he chatted with Supreme Xuan Chen for a few minutes.

A few days later, it was the end of June.

It's graduation season again, and Hanyue University is bustling with activity once more.

Yan Haosen, Qiao Xinrui, Wei Qingwen, and Yue Wujiu arrived at the Tiangong Space and found Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng looked at the four of them: "Why did you all come together today?"

Yan Haosen cut to the chase: "Young Alliance Leader, Xinrui and Qingwen haven't contracted with any overlord beasts yet. They'll be graduating soon after finishing their master's programs. And Senior Wujiu is graduating with his doctorate this year. We've come to see you so we can have a get-together before we graduate."

Zhou Heng instantly understood everything: "I understand what you mean. We really should get together."

Wei Qingwen continued, "We'd like to book a nine-star restaurant for the entire venue. What do you think?"

Zhou Heng had no objection: "I'll do as you say."

Yan Haosen immediately said, "Since you've spoken, let me make the arrangements. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
