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

Zhou Heng was always humble and modest. Faced with the praise from Ancestor Wanbao, he deliberately said in a joking tone, "Ancestor, please don't flatter me too much. Wuji is a beast of superior mythical quality. This speed can only be considered normal. Although it is not very slow, it is not very fast either."

Ancestor Wanbao smiled and looked at Zhou Heng: "The Devouring Star Kunpeng has already reached the sixth rank, which is quite fast. At the current rate, you will definitely be able to advance to the seventh rank of Lord Beast Tamer before you turn forty-five."

Zhou Heng had checked the relevant information: "The twelve SSS-level predecessors before me in history were around 55 years old on average when they advanced to the seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer. Even if I advanced to the seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer before the age of 45, it is not considered very fast."

Ancestor Wanbao often said, "They usually only focus on cultivating one beast before becoming an eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamer, but you have contracted six beasts. If you can pour all your spiritual energy into the Devouring Star Kunpeng, you will definitely be able to advance to a seventh-tier Prince Beast Tamer sooner."

The three Azure Phoenixes and the Netherworld Demon Dragon felt a chill run down their spines.

They knew that Zhou Heng had given them the most special treatment and infused them with the most spiritual energy.

If it weren't for Zhou Heng's consideration for their past relationship and his continued support, they would never have been able to catch up with the level of the Returning Void Divine Dragon and reach the fifth rank, ninth level so quickly.

Normally, other beast tamers would never treat them this well.

Because most beast tamers only consider maximizing profits, they invest all their resources into the highest quality beast to help it grow as quickly as possible. Only when the highest quality beast reaches a certain level and is difficult to make further breakthroughs will they turn around and help the lower quality beasts break through their levels.

Zhou Heng had his own thoughts: "If I were from a poor family, without the protection of a family, without the guidance of an ancestor, and without a master, I would definitely choose to concentrate all my spiritual energy on Wuji first. Only in this way can I continuously defuse the open and hidden attacks around me. But I come from a noble family, with my family providing me with sufficient resources, with you, my ancestor, planning everything for me, and having become a tenth-level supreme beast tamer as my master. Under such circumstances, even if I distribute my spiritual energy among six beast tamers, it won't be a big problem."

Ancestor Wanbao understood that Zhou Heng was no ordinary junior, so he didn't impose any rigid demands on him. Instead, he acknowledged Zhou Heng's reasoning to some extent: "Your idea is not without merit. I understand that there's no absolute right or wrong in choosing between devoting all your spiritual energy to a single beast and distributing it across six beasts. In fact, to some extent, your current choice might be the best. After all, if you continue along your path, your six beasts will soon become mythical-quality beasts, and with their combined efforts, your combat power will become extremely formidable."

Zhou Heng's eyes shone: "Nine Heavens and Tyrant are indeed close to evolving into mythical quality. After they improve their strength again and reach the fifth rank and tenth level, I will initiate the evolution ritual for them, allowing them to evolve into the Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix and the Slaughtering Saint Demon Dragon. At that time, the power of spiritual source will have a better effect on them."

Ancestor Wanbao smoothly changed the subject: "Now that you're a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster, do you plan to develop combo skills for your beasts?"

Zhou Heng explained, "I talked to my master before, and he said there's no rush. Let's wait until Jiuxiao and Tyrant evolve to mythical quality, or until Emperor God and Chengrui advance to the sixth rank!"

Ancestor Wanbao immediately said, "You're right, the Supreme Alliance Leader is right. Combination skills are inherently difficult to develop, especially since your beasts are all of very high quality and their powerful skills are extremely strong, making it even more difficult to fuse them together."

Zhou Heng nodded repeatedly: "Our ancestor and I are thinking the same thing."

Ancestor Wanbao then said, "Alright, that's enough for today. If you need anything, you can come to me anytime."

Zhou Heng nodded and immediately led the six tamed beasts out of the Wanbao Hall.

The three-headed azure phoenixes shrank to the size of a palm and stood on Zhou Heng's shoulder. One of them, somewhat timidly, said, "Dad, did the Tyrant and I hold you back?"

Zhou Heng glanced at the three-headed phoenix out of the corner of his eye: "Why would you think that?"

The three-headed Azure Phoenix felt deeply ashamed: "The Tyrant and I received the most spiritual energy. Although our levels barely surpassed those of the Emperor God and Cheng Rui, our actual combat strength is the weakest. It's completely cost-effective for you to invest so much spiritual energy in us."

Zhou Heng then looked at the Netherworld Demon Dragon on his other shoulder: "Tyrant, what are you thinking?"

The Abyss Dragon also kept its size to the size of a palm. It folded its pair of purple fleshy wings and looked indifferent: "What ideas can I have? The power of spiritual source is condensed by your second talent. You are the boss. I can only listen to you."

Zhou Heng then turned his gaze to the Ruins Dragon, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, the Titan Lord, and the Fortune Qilin King: "Feihong, Wuji, Emperor God, Chengrui, what are your thoughts?"

Guixu Shenlong was the first to speak: "When Father set the distribution plan, we all agreed to it. Since none of us objected then, it's even less likely that we would have any objections now. Therefore, I unconditionally support Father."

The Titan Lord quickly followed suit, stating, "I also support my father."

The Lucky Qilin King quickly chimed in, "Me too."

The Devouring Star Kunpeng spoke calmly and deliberately, but it made its stance clear: "Father, I support all your decisions. Although I did not receive the most spiritual energy, I believe your allocation of spiritual energy is the most reasonable at this stage."

Zhou Heng's expression was serious, but his tone was gentle: "Nine Heavens, Tyrant, your quality is indeed not high enough, but you are not a burden. Your levels have already improved. The day you evolve into mythical beast tamers will be the day you truly shine."

The three-headed Azure Phoenix was deeply moved. It couldn't help but hug Zhou Heng's neck and rub against him with its crest of feathers: "Father, I understand what you mean. I will work hard to become stronger and will never let you down!"

The Netherworld Demon Dragon was too embarrassed to express its feelings as directly as the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix, but it quickly followed up with, "From now on, I won't slack off during training."

Then, Zhou Heng reached out and touched the horns of the Guixu Divine Dragon, the arm of the Titan Lord, and the forehead of the Fortune Qilin King, saying to them, "Feihong, Emperor God, Chengrui, I am very happy that you support my decision. In the future, as long as you need it, the power of spiritual source will be tilted towards you, and I will also give you special training."
