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

The next day, at the dinner table, the family of three had just finished eating.

Zhou Heng seized the opportunity to say, "Dad, Mom, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon and the Eternal Night Demon Dragon are both quite large, and they will get even bigger as their level increases. Although the training room upstairs can accommodate them, it's a bit cramped."

Mr. Zhou said directly, "This is simple. We'll have someone come over later to build a special training hall for you on the left side of the manor. You can then train your beasts there."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Mr. Zhou was even more gratified: "What are you thanking me for? You are our good son. It is only right that we do anything for you. If you need anything in the future, just tell us."

Zhou Heng nodded: "I understand."

Zhou's father immediately took out his communicator and made a phone call.

Ten minutes later, two middle-aged beast tamers appeared outside the Zhou family manor, and Zhou's father immediately instructed the butler to welcome them in.

The two middle-aged beast tamers adopted a very humble posture: "Your Excellency, Academician."

Zhou's father casually remarked, "Old Hu, Old Yang, why are you here so quickly?"

Old Hu and Old Yang were flattered: "Thank you for your concern, Academician. We came over as soon as we received your call."

Mr. Zhou waved his hand: "Have some tea first, then we'll talk."

The servants brought in two cups of fragrant tea.

Old Hu and Old Yang accepted the teacups with both hands: "Thank you, Academician."

Then, they looked at Madam Zhou and Zhou Heng and greeted them: "This must be Madam and Young Master Zhou, right? Hello, Madam, hello, Young Master Zhou."

Zhou's mother nodded, and Zhou Heng responded with a smile.

Mr. Zhou cut to the chase: "You should know why I called you here, right?"

Old Hu looked confident and said, "Of course we know. Since the young master wants a spacious training hall, we'll take care of it. We'll make sure the young master sees the new training hall before lunch today."

Zhou Hengxin had doubts: "Is it just the two of you?"

Old Yang quickly replied, "Young master, you may not know this, but the beasts we have contracted are quite special; constructing various buildings is one of our strengths!"

Father Zhou also introduced them: "Heng'er, Old Hu and Old Yang were both promoted from the Construction Department under the Provincial Administration Commission to the Education Department as deputy instructors. They have participated in countless large-scale projects in the past, and they even contributed to the repair of the Xuanxiao City wall. And most importantly, they are both fourth-level blacksmiths! Half a day is too modest for a training hall; it will only take them two or three hours."

The Provincial Administration Commission was an office of equal rank to the Education and Training Administration, both of which were directly under the jurisdiction of the Garrison Command.

The Construction Bureau was a subordinate department, mainly responsible for various public construction projects.

Zhou Heng smiled politely: "I see, I'm so sorry."

Old Hu was very humble: "Young master, you're too kind."

Mr. Zhou asked, "Don't be so modest, have all the materials prepared?"

Old Yang replied, "Everything is ready, don't worry, it's all top-quality materials."

Mr. Zhou took out a gold card: "The material costs weren't cheap. There's a billion in here. You can divide it among yourselves."

Old Hu quickly pushed the gold card back: "Sir, you're too kind! It's just some materials, not worth much money. How could we dare to charge you?"

Father Zhou then handed another gold card to the two men, saying, "Even between brothers, accounts should be settled clearly. You are both my subordinates; how could I possibly take advantage of you?"

Old Yang said sincerely, "We've always been grateful for your protection at the Education and Training Department. We've always wanted to repay you but never had the chance. This is a good opportunity to do our part for you. If you don't even give us this chance, then you don't consider us one of your own."

Mr. Zhou looked helpless, but inwardly he was quite satisfied: "You guys... sigh..."

After some back and forth, the two ultimately did not accept the gold card.

"Alright, now it's up to you guys. I don't have any plans or anything, but I'm sure you don't need them with your abilities. Just go with your gut feeling!" Mr. Zhou said, relinquishing his responsibilities.

As Old Hu made his promise, he asked, "Since the Academic Commissioner trusts us so much, we certainly won't dare to slack off. Where does the young master wish to build the training hall?"

Zhou Heng had already planned it out: "The back garden can't be moved around, so it'll be built on the left side, a little further forward."

Old Yang then asked, "How big do you want?"

Zhou Heng countered, "How big do you think it should be?"

Old Yang looked around and tentatively said, "This estate is thirty square kilometers in size. If we don't move the back garden or the main villa in the middle, there will still be more than ten square kilometers left. How about we build a square training hall with sides of two kilometers by two kilometers? A height of about two thousand meters would be about right. What do you think?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "Four square kilometers? That's not bad. We'll do as you say!"

"Okay!"

Old Hu and Old Yang immediately went to the place Zhou Heng had designated, and a blue light emanated from between their brows.

A volcanic giant standing 100 meters tall and a steel-flame giant ape standing 80 meters tall appeared within the Zhou family's manor.

"Roar! Roar!"

Both the Volcano Giant and the Steel Flame Giant Ape are mid-tier gold-quality beasts.

Moreover, both of these beasts have reached the fourth rank.

Then, under Zhou Heng's watchful eye, Lao Hu and Lao Yang took out a large pile of materials from their respective storage bracelets, piling them up into a small mountain.

Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin—you name it, they had it.

The Steel Rock Giant Ape stepped forward and dug a huge square pit at the designated location.

The volcano giant selected a portion of the piled-up materials, spewed flames from its mouth, melted the materials, and piled them into the large pit, forming the foundation.

Afterwards, the Steel Flame Giant Ape kept moving materials, and the Volcano Giant used the high temperature of the flames to weld these materials together.

The two sides cooperated very well.

In the blink of an eye, the basic framework of a three-story training hall covering four square kilometers was completed.

Then, Lao Hu and Lao Yang stepped forward and used their fourth-level blacksmith skills to begin making detailed adjustments.

For example, moonstones were used to decorate the training hall, various related facilities were forged, and a layer of array patterns was engraved on the entire training hall using mental power.

Although they were only second-tier array patterns, which would be easy for a fourth-tier blacksmith, the training hall was very large, and the two of them were struggling to finish the work quickly.

He drank more than ten bottles of potions to restore his mental strength before he could complete this massive project as quickly as possible.

Afterwards, they made some final adjustments before finally completing the project.

It only took three hours.

Zhou Heng watched as a massive training hall rose from the ground in such a short time. He was shocked and couldn't help but sigh. No wonder that after more than six thousand years, various technologies had not developed much. Beast taming was just too useful.
