The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH19

Chapter 19: The Soul Pet Interface

As for Si Er’s inner thoughts, quite a few people were actually suspicious. After all, the whole situation was rather strange.

They had never met Si Er before and had no connection to him—so how could they suddenly hear his thoughts?

Those who were doubtful believed Si Er must have contracted some special kind of soul pet, which caused his thoughts to be exposed. But whether those thoughts were revealed intentionally or unintentionally was another matter.

If Si Er was leaking them unconsciously, then his words were more believable.

If he was doing it on purpose, then they would need to carefully discern truth from falsehood, in case he was deliberately laying traps.

As for his talk about being a cannon-fodder villain from a storybook, almost no one took it seriously—except for Lu Taiping.

Most people thought Si Er had read too many novels and gone a bit silly, bizarrely projecting himself into the role of cannon fodder.

What kind of cannon fodder could have such heaven-defying talent?

His initial soul power was already at the Soul King level! That had to be a reincarnated powerhouse, right?

But what kind of mighty expert would constantly leak their own thoughts? Had he turned into a sentient sieve?

Unaware of everyone else’s inner complaints, Si Er finished his own test and headed with his three companions to the soul pet testing area.

At Black Tortoise Academy, every student had to apply for an identity card, and all contracted soul pets were required to have one as well.

Any person, beast, or plant without identification would be treated as a spy and eliminated without exception.

So no matter how reluctant anyone felt, the tests had to be done.

However, the detailed information of a soul pet was considered private. Soul masters rarely fought personally—they relied almost entirely on their soul pets. If a soul pet’s specifics were exposed, its master probably wouldn’t live long.

Therefore, the soul pet registration room was a separate, highly secure space, allowing only one student inside at a time.

Though there were six people responsible for the testing—the five Grand Elders plus the principal.

Si Er felt the room’s so-called secrecy was somewhat pointless. Six people would learn everything at once.

Fortunately, the teachers and elders of Black Tortoise Academy are pretty laid-back and don’t like scheming. They wouldn’t leak this information—otherwise we’d be doomed.

Hearing the familiar inner voice, all six of them looked at Si Er with faint smiles.

The child was probably trying to praise them for being calm, united, upright, and kind—just phrased it poorly, calling them lazier than turtles.

Good judgment, perhaps. Just lacking a bit of education. They would have to guide him well.

“Student Si Er, right? Your performance has been outstanding. We’ve all noticed.”

“Come over. Once your soul pets are registered, you’ll officially be a member of Black Tortoise Academy.”

To Si Er, the testing device looked a lot like an electronic weighing scale.

At first glance, it was just an ordinary flat glass panel with two symmetrical white lines.

When Guagua was tested, under Elder Xuan Yi’s guidance, it placed its two paws on either side of the white lines. Soon, a panel appeared in the center.

Guagua covered its face with its ears. It was over—this felt like being completely exposed.

Si Er hadn’t expected the tester to be so powerful, clearly displaying all of Guagua’s information.

Noticing his surprise, Elder Xuan Yi smiled.
“No need to be surprised, Student Si Er. Given your earlier performance, we already knew that ordinary testers would only end up damaged.”

“To prevent unnecessary sacrifice, we brought out the highest-grade tester from the start.”

The principal nodded approvingly.
“Yes, indeed. We didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise.”

A top-tier, supreme-grade soul pet!

It had been many years since anyone on the Ten Thousand Beast Continent became a Soul Saint. With a top-tier supreme soul pet, Si Er might truly have hope of achieving that level.

Soon they discovered that his chances might be even higher—because Cui Cui’s test results were equally impressive.

Since Cui Cui had only one mushroom leg, the elders had initially planned to bring out a single-legged soul pet tester. But unexpectedly, that lone mushroom leg split apart!

It even did a full split, leaving Si Er stunned.

What a treasure!

The principal and the five Grand Elders’ eyes lit up simultaneously. They hadn’t expected Si Er to have another top-tier soul pet.

And one with such powerful healing abilities was incredibly rare!

If they had such a green mushroom, they wouldn’t just wear it as a hairpin—they’d happily wear it as a green hat!

While the elders were brimming with excitement, Si Er was examining Cui Cui’s mushroom leg.

After staring at it for quite a while, he found not a single mark. It was as if it had never split at all.

With two top-tier soul pets already revealed, everyone reacted rather calmly when testing the Wind-Flame Ostrich.

—

Age: 2 years, 1 month
Diet: Fire-attributed scorpions, fruits, and leaves

Attack Skills:
Wind-Fire Blade

How to put it? On its own, the Wind-Flame Ostrich was actually quite good. It had many skills that could potentially be developed, as long as the soul master was willing to help unlock them. Its upper potential was very high.

An ordinary top student would be so thrilled to contract such a soul pet they wouldn’t sleep for days.

But in Si Er’s case…

The principal and the five elders felt he probably wouldn’t pay that much attention to this ostrich.

Even if he wanted to, most of his energy would have to go toward his two top-tier soul pets. He likely wouldn’t have the time to develop new skills for the Wind-Flame Ostrich.

Huh? Benben only has two attack skills? Isn’t that a bit few?

I remember Wind-Flame Ostrich skills need to be developed with the help of the soul master. But how do you even develop them?

Hearing Si Er’s thoughts, the principal smiled.

“By the way, the panels only display a soul pet’s current condition.”

“Many soul pet skills can be developed later on. I think Student Si Er should study more books in this area.”

“Given your special circumstances, you qualify for the benefits of a top special student at Black Tortoise Academy. All books below the ninth floor of the library are fully open to you.”

“When the time comes, simply bring your identity card to the library. The administrator there will recommend the most suitable materials for you.”
