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

Li Lang said enthusiastically, "Let me introduce you to each other. This is Pang Jie, an A-level talent, whose beast taming is a low-level diamond-quality Canghai Yunyao. He is a member of the Rocket Class of No. 6 Middle School and is also the top student in the first year of high school at No. 6 Middle School."

Pang Jie was a well-proportioned young man with handsome features, wearing a white shirt.

He smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."

Zhou Heng nodded: "Nice to meet you."

Li Lang continued, "This is Shi Jingqi, an S-level talent, whose beast is a mid-level diamond-quality Rock-Suppressing Mountain Rhinoceros. He is the class monitor of the rocket class at Snow Lake High School, the top student in the grade, and his nickname is Big Stone."

Shi Jingqi had an extremely peculiar appearance. His face was very rugged, as if carved by a knife and axe, and even had a stiff feel to it. He was an astonishing 2.6 meters tall and wore a loose black coat.

His smile was very warm and friendly: "It's nice to meet you."

Zhou Heng nodded: "It's a pleasure to meet you too."

Li Lang stood on tiptoe and put his hand on Shi Jingqi's shoulder: "Aheng, do you know why the big rock is so tall?"

Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

Shi Jingqi answered first: "Because I have the blood of giants in my body."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but ask, "Giant bloodline? Could it be that your ancestors...?"

Shi Jingqi said frankly, "That's right. My ancestor once made a contract with a giant. Later, my ancestor fell in love with the contracted beast, and since then, all of us descendants have the blood of the giant."

Zhou Heng was quite interested in this: "If I may ask, were your ancestors male or female?"

Shi Jingqi grinned: "A man."

Pang Jie frowned and said, "I remember that although giants are humanoid beast tamers, they are fundamentally different from humans, and have reproductive isolation. How could this be..."

Shi Jingqi explained, "It was just a special method. Some magical treasures can help different groups give birth to the fruit of love."

Zhou Heng chimed in, "There are indeed similar treasures, and after so many years of research, there are quite a few of them."

Pang Jie said very politely, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts."

Li Lang specifically said, "Aheng, the giant bloodline of Da Shitou is very beneficial. Not only is his physique stronger than that of ordinary people, but he also has the advantage of forging talent. Although Da Shitou is the same age as us, he is already a second-level forging master."

Zhou Heng recalled some information he had learned before: "I remember that many college students who also studied blacksmithing often only became second-level blacksmiths by the time they graduated. I didn't expect you to have become a second-level blacksmith at such a young age. Our Xuanxiao City is truly full of hidden talents."

Shi Jingqi waved his hand: "Actually, it's nothing. It's all thanks to my bloodline. Before I even awakened my beast-taming talent, I had already started learning forging and forging magical artifacts."

Zhou Heng asked, "Forging a magical artifact requires inscribing array patterns. Before you form a contract with a beast, can your mental strength withstand it?"

Shi Jingqi was quite proud of himself: "I can handle it, because before I had a contract with a beast, I could use some minor extraordinary powers by activating my bloodline."

Zhou Heng exclaimed in admiration, "That's truly amazing!"

Li Lang introduced the last person to Zhou Heng: "And this one, Wang Xuchen, male, S-level talent, his beast taming is a mid-level diamond-quality emerald elf lord, the top student in the grade at No. 7 Middle School, nicknamed Little Demoness."

He deliberately emphasized the word "boy".

Wang Xuchen wore a purple wig that reached her waist and a pink dress.

He wore heavy makeup, with long, thin eyeliner, fiery red lips, and pink nail polish and diamonds on his well-defined fingers.

At first glance, his face appeared very fair and handsome, but upon closer inspection, there was an inexplicable sense of disharmony, because his natural masculine features could not be concealed.

Most importantly, he also has a prominent Adam's apple on his neck.

It is said that more than 6,000 years ago, before the era of beast taming arrived, people like Wang Xuchen would have been very popular among ancient otaku.

Wang Xuchen glared at Li Lang reproachfully: "Hey~ don't treat me like a boy, I'm actually a girl~"

Li Lang was speechless: "Whatever you say goes."

Wang Xuchen then gave Zhou Heng a sweet smile, his voice strained and feigned: "Hello, Zhou Heng! Today is such a lucky day to meet such an outstanding peer like you!"

Zhou Heng kept his eyes straight ahead, his expression unchanged: "It's also a pleasure to meet you."

Wang Xuchen's eyes sparkled: "I thought Zhou Heng would be arrogant~ I didn't expect him to be so polite and gentle~"

Zhou Heng replied politely, "You flatter me."

Li Lang stepped forward: "Alright, now that everyone has gotten to know each other, where shall we go next?"

Wang Xuchen tucked the purple wig behind his ear: "Everyone else can do that~"

Shi Jingqi casually replied, "Anywhere is fine."

Pang Jie suggested, "Not far from here, there is a unique restaurant that has officially hosted more than three fifth-tier warrior beast tamers. It's a five-star restaurant, and it's said to be decorated in the minimalist style that was popular 6,500 years ago. It's very charming."

In this era, restaurants are classified into eleven levels, from zero stars to ten stars.

"Sparse stars" means that the person has only served ordinary people, while "one star" means that the person has served more than three first-level apprentice beast tamers within a certain period of time.

And so on.

Among them, the ten stars only exist in theory.

In the past six thousand years, only three tenth-tier supreme beast tamers have appeared in the history of the Eastern Alliance. Although tenth-tier supreme beast tamers can live to be eighteen hundred years old, at most only two tenth-tier supreme beast tamers have appeared in the same era.

More often than not, there is only one tenth-tier supreme beast tamer in an era, and there are even cases where the lineage of tenth-tier supreme beast tamers has ended.

For example, in Zhou Heng's era, since the passing of the last tenth-tier supreme beast tamer, Miao Yi, the Eastern Alliance has not seen a new tenth-tier supreme beast tamer for over seven hundred years.

Currently, the strongest beings in the East are six ninth-tier Emperor Beastmasters.

Therefore, no matter how outstanding a restaurant is, it cannot meet the requirement of having three tenth-level supreme beast tamers dine there within a certain period of time, so naturally there will be no ten-star restaurant.

Zhou Heng disagreed with Pang Jie: "Why don't we go directly to Tianfu Restaurant? It's a six-star restaurant and the best one in Linghu Amusement Park. It's not too far from here. My treat."

Pang Jie looked troubled: "But this restaurant is quite prestigious; it's owned by a relative of the chairman of the Businessmen's Association. You need to make a reservation to dine here. Have you made a reservation?"

The chairman of the Merchants' Association is the highest-ranking person in the association, and therefore he is also a sixth-tier Commander Beastmaster.

Zhou Heng said confidently, "No need for an appointment. I can use facial recognition. I've been to Tianfu Food Garden with my parents before, and the people there know me and know who I am."
