The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH197

Chapter 197: A Genius of Eccentric Potions

The Crimson Fire Flood Dragon resigned itself to fate and spat out a huge mass of flames, even conscientiously adding a portion of its origin power.

Many disciples from Azure Dragon Academy watched the scene with complicated expressions.

Flood dragons were high-tier exotic beasts, already considered extremely precious on Ten Thousand Beast Continent—yet one of them had been bullied into such a state?

It was the first time they had seen a flood dragon from their academy tortured until it had not a shred of temper left.

Yu Beixuan was truly terrifying.

The other fire-attribute students trembled as well, praying they wouldn’t run into Yu Beixuan in their upcoming matches.

It was too frightening. They definitely couldn’t beat him—they would only end up delivering themselves to that black wolf as food.

A literal delivery.

On stage, Yu Bei Wolf ate with great satisfaction and gave the Crimson Fire Flood Dragon an approving look.

“Little brother, your name is Chixia, right?”

The dragon nodded weakly.

Yu Bei Wolf grinned. “Brother Chixia, can you feed me a bit more flame?”

“…Yes.”

The Crimson Fire Flood Dragon was very sensible about the situation. How could it dare refuse now?

Di Lintian felt the dragon was utterly spineless and disgracing him—but all he could do was rage helplessly.

In fact, he couldn’t even manage a proper rage. He could only simmer silently.

Raging required strength. He had none left.

With so many eyes watching, Yu Beixuan didn’t intend to go too far. He planned to end the match once Yu Bei Wolf had eaten its fill.

Thus Di Lintian could only watch as his three contracted beasts took turns feeding Yu Bei Wolf, until they were all drained to the point of collapse.

Only after squeezing them dry did Yu Bei Wolf let out a satisfied burp, trot back to Yu Beixuan, and affectionately rub against him.

“Xuanxuan, Brother Chixia’s flames are so delicious. They’re the best beast fire I’ve ever eaten in my life.”

“Why don’t we raise a Crimson Fire Flood Dragon ourselves? That way we’ll have a steady supply of little flames to snack on.”

Yu Beixuan frowned. “One wouldn’t be enough for you. Third- or fourth-tier beasts can only mobilize so much origin power. After you eat it all, it would take years to recover.”

“If we raise our own, it’s too troublesome. Better to just enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet during battles in the future.”

Yu Bei Wolf nodded thoughtfully. “Xuanxuan makes sense! As expected, Xuanxuan is the boss.”

Yu Beixuan felt a small swell of pride. “Of course.”

Below the stage, Si Er was speechless over the names of Di Lintian’s three beasts. Qingxia, Zixia—those sounded oddly familiar. And Chixia too!

He even remembered a certain film character named Yan Chixia.

Guagua, does Di Lintian just really love the word ‘xia’?

Yes. He thinks morning and evening glow look like burning clouds. He likes them very much, so he names every fire-attribute beast “Xia.”

It’s a pity he’s into men and won’t have children. Otherwise, he already picked names for his future kids when he was young.

He really planned that far ahead, huh? Just didn’t expect he’d turn out to be into men?

Si Er chuckled, then grew curious.

What names did he pick?

If it were a girl, he’d call her Nixia—“Ni” as in rainbow garment. He believes his daughter would definitely be beautiful.

If it were a boy, he’d call him Tianxia—homophonous with “all under heaven,” symbolizing his ambition to conquer the world.

Si Er was speechless.

The meanings are actually decent. The names aren’t bad either—except Tianxia might be mistaken for a girl’s name.

But Di Tianxia does sound pretty domineering.

The issue is, Qingxia and Zixia are beasts he’s raised since childhood. Did he raise those two snakes like sons too?

Not really. He trusts Qingxia and Zixia more, but in Di Lintian’s eyes they’re still just handy tools—no different from his favorite magical artifacts.

That’s why he looks down on soul beast masters here. He thinks treating contracted beasts as partners who fight and rely on each other is idiotic.

In his view, only those who treat contracted beasts as tools are truly noble.

Noble my foot. If he’s so noble, how come he can’t beat anyone?

Guagua fell silent.

In its view, Di Lintian was already a genius among his peers. Aside from Si Er and Yu Beixuan, he wouldn’t lose to anyone of the same age.

Even among slightly older geniuses, aside from Si Yi with his little Golden Crow countering him, few could defeat Di Lintian.

But who told him to be so unlucky? He kept running into these two freaks, losing both face and dignity, giving people the illusion that he was weak.

Di Lintian himself also felt extremely unlucky. Fortunately, this was only his first match—he still had plenty of chances to prove himself.

Si Er didn’t know what he was thinking. At the moment, he was staring at Di Lintian’s basin-shaped bald hairstyle in deep contemplation.

Guagua, can you check what resources Di Lintian has on him?

Other things aren’t important for now. See if he has any hair-growth potion or something similar.

No. He never imagined his hair would be in danger, so he didn’t bring any hair-growth pills.

All he brought are healing pills and cultivation boosters.

Good, good.

Si Er immediately turned to Si Xu with sparkling eyes. “Second Brother, do you have any potion that prevents hair from growing?”

Si Xu nodded. “There’s a Smooth-Scalp Potion. It has a time limit—guarantees no hair growth for six months.”

“If Di Lintian uses a hair-growth potion during that time, the effect will weaken.”

“But any potion builds resistance overuse, so the effect can only be reduced by half at most.”

Si Er’s eyes lit up. “That’s still good!”

So as long as I succeed, Di Lintian will have to keep that hairstyle for at least three months?

Wait—what if he just shaves off the remaining hair completely?

Si Er turned to Si Xu again, eyes shining. “Then do you have something that makes hair impossible to shave off?”

Si Xu nodded. “Yes. It’s called Firm-Root Potion. Effective for six months.”

“If the target uses a counteracting potion, the duration halves.”

“Great, great.” Si Er nodded eagerly. “Can you give me a bit of both?”

“Of course.” Si Xu smiled happily. “The potions I develop are rather niche. They don’t really sell.”

“If you help me clear inventory, I couldn’t be happier.”

Si Er looked amazed. “Second Brother, you developed these yourself? That’s incredible! Truly a rare potion genius.”

The four deans who overheard couldn’t help rolling their eyes.

Genius?

This was no ordinary genius.

This was a mad genius of potions!

Si Xu looked like such a refined and elegant young man—how did he come up with so many bizarre concoctions?

City Lord Si seemed perfectly normal. How did he end up with three children who were anything but?
