The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH184

Chapter 184: Si Ran Under Investigation

Si Er had always thought he was quite strong. It wasn’t until he ran into a group of fifth-tier spirit beasts while trying to pick the Flying Cloud Illuminating Moon Lingzhi that he realized his strength was still far from enough.

The pursuit of power should be endless.

Though he was lazy, he had the indispensable advantage of a lazy person—his melons!

It was like Heaven was personally feeding him spoonfuls of rice. All he had to do was open his mouth to grow stronger. Why refuse?

So during these days in the Four Symbols Mountain, he searched for treasures while eating melons, practically treating them as his staple food.

Sure enough, his sacrifice paid off!

(Sacrificing countless opportunities to eat meat and other spirit fruits.)

Now Si Er felt that taking on a fifth-tier spirit beast was no big deal. The Power Watermelon was truly amazing!

He threw several more heavy punches at the giant mantis. This time the mantis learned to dodge. Though it couldn’t completely avoid Si Er’s attacks, it managed to protect its vital points.

“Pretty fast, huh?”

Si Er raised his chin slightly. “Guagua, let’s go together.”

“Alright!”

Guagua had relatively high permissions. As long as Si Er didn’t deliberately restrict it, it could freely enter and exit the soul pet space without being summoned.

So while the mantis was still trying to dodge Si Er’s fists, Guagua swooped in with two loud slaps.

Guagua could enlarge itself too. It grew even bigger than the mantis. After delivering the slaps, it jumped onto the mantis’s back and started bouncing wildly.

With a loud crack, the mantis’s back caved in.

Si Ran watched in shock. He never imagined that this self-recommended “reinforcement” would be so fragile.

Didn’t it claim to be a fourth-tier, seven-star high-level spirit beast? That both its speed and strength ranked among the best?

It had even boasted that its twin scythes could slice off Si Er’s head at any moment, as long as Si Ran cooperated well.

And this was the result?

After just one exchange, its defensive shell cracked! After two more rounds, its back collapsed!

Strange fluids spilled all over the arena floor. He didn’t even have time to coordinate.

Of course, Si Ran refused to admit his own lack of speed. He decided it was the mantis that was incompetent and overconfident.

Had he known it was this weak, he would’ve found a stronger helper.

He glanced at the little butterfly and dragonfly he had raised for years, quickly bit open the blood capsule in his mouth to make his face turn pale, then raised his hand.

“I concede!”

Admitting defeat was embarrassing, but better than enduring pain only to lose anyway.

Since he conceded so decisively, the referee immediately declared Si Er the winner.

Si Er felt a little regretful.

I was so focused on beating up that most dangerous mantis that I forgot to punch Si Ran. Ending like this feels a bit of a pity.
But there’ll be other chances. I’d better go watch the Flame Chicken and Thunder-Eye Chicken match.

Just as Si Er was about to jump off the stage, Si Ran’s voice suddenly called out, “Wait.”

Si Er turned back with a smile. “What? Want to continue?”

Si Ran shook his head. “A bet is a bet. I lost, and that’s that.”

“But wasn’t Classmate Si Er a bit too heavy-handed? This was just a normal match, yet you caused my soul pet irreversible damage. That seems to violate the alliance treaty among the Four Great Academies.”

Si Er smiled calmly. “If I had injured your soul pet, I’d naturally take responsibility.”

“But is it?”

“Under a normal soul contract, if the soul pet suffers severe injury, the soul master would be affected as well. Yet Classmate Si Ran appears completely unharmed.”

Si Er raised his hand. “Instructor, I wish to report that Classmate Si Ran privately invited outside assistance to cheat, violating the competition rules. Please have the elders and instructors investigate thoroughly.”

The referee nodded. “I was thinking the same.”

If the mantis hadn’t been so badly injured, perhaps it could have been concealed. But now it was half-dead, while Si Ran remained full of vigor. Anyone could see something was wrong.

Si Ran pointed at his pale face and the blood at his lips incredulously. “You call this unharmed?”

He gave a bitter smile. “If Classmate Si Er insists I’m unharmed, then so be it. After all, my father owed you. Even though he’s already received his due puni—”

“Stop.” Si Er cut him off. “Do you think putting on a show can cover up the fact that you’re uninjured? Our referees’ eyes are sharp.”

“Exactly,” the referee agreed. “Classmate Si Ran, when you conceded just now, your voice was strong and steady. You spoke at length without any sign of breath disorder. Even your heartbeat and pulse sounded steady.”

Si Er was amazed.

The instructors in this world are incredible. They can hear his heartbeat and pulse from that far away?

[According to your terms, this is basic operation. As long as one’s soul power reaches a certain level, it’s possible.]

[Actually, Er’er can do it too. You’re just too influenced by habits from another world and often forget to use your own advantages.]

You’re right. I really need to correct that.

He knew this flaw of his and had tried to change it before. But he often forgot after making up his mind.

He knew Si Ran was fine because he had recognized from the beginning that the mantis was of the insect race.

As for Si Ran, too many things had happened recently, and this mantis had appeared suddenly. He hadn’t had time to think everything through or make thorough arrangements.

Now his face truly turned pale. If inviting outside assistance was confirmed, he would be barred from similar competitions in the future.

Then how would he build his reputation?

There had always been a voice in his mind telling him he must be outstanding—exceptionally outstanding. He must stand at the top, admired and adored by all.

Only then could he gain the power of faith and stand at the pinnacle of this world.

If anyone blocked his path, he could simply eliminate them.

Whatever he wanted to do, Heaven would protect him.

But where was that Heaven now?

Why had he fallen into such an awkward situation?

Si Ran tried hard to defend himself, but the referee was unwilling to listen further.

“Classmate Si Ran, the elders of the Four Great Academies will jointly investigate this matter. It will be clarified thoroughly. You will not be wronged in the slightest.”

As he spoke, four instructors landed on the arena. Together, they sealed the half-dead mantis into a cage and dragged it away.

“Classmate Si Ran, please come with us.”
