The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH39

Chapter 39: He’s Already Here

The students of Class One were utterly speechless after hearing Si Er’s inner thoughts. They suspected that Si Er had already been bewitched by Yu Beixuan.

Everyone looked up at Yu Beixuan’s face and had to admit that it was understandable. After all, he was very good-looking. His height and physique were impressive too.

Those who had no particular interest in Si Er sized Yu Beixuan up with appreciative gazes. But the few who did have feelings for Si Er shot hostile looks at him.

So what if he’s a bit better-looking? So what if his talent is a bit higher?

Talent and appearance didn’t determine everything. They should still have a chance, right?

Yu Beixuan ignored the hostile stares. Standing on the podium, he spoke calmly:

“My name is Yu Beixuan. Yu as in the Yu of Beiye City, Bei as in the Bei of Beiye City, Xuan as in Black Tortoise Academy. Seventeen years old. Dark attribute constitution.”

The class fell silent.

What did he mean, “Yu of Beiye City”? “Bei of Beiye City”?

Was he introducing his name—or his background?

Was Beiye City that impressive?

Well… yes, it actually was. It was one of the Four Great Top Powers.

The Four Great Cities were built upon the four most crucial defensive lines of the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent. Each City Lord was among the strongest combat forces of their era—definitely not people to be trifled with.

Though they hadn’t heard of Yu Beixuan before, they knew the current City Lord of Beiye City had three sons. The first two were named Yu Beimo and Yu Beimíng…

So the third was very likely named Yu Beixuan.

Mo, Ming, and Xuan—all words associated with black.

Who knew how much City Lord Yu loved black to name all his sons in such pitch-dark fashion?

If this third son had kept his identity hidden so well before, why reveal it today?

Was it a warning?

A warning not to set their sights on Si Er?

Many in the class were proud geniuses and didn’t take Yu Beixuan’s display seriously.

After all, the Four City Lords were generally upright. They wouldn’t allow their children to act tyrannically outside—at the very least, forcibly seizing someone was out of the question.

As long as Si Er wasn’t interested in Yu Beixuan, even a doting father couldn’t just snatch him away.

So they still had a chance.

Although dark attribute was as rare as light attribute and could help absorb residual baleful energy from the body, people still preferred light-attribute soul cultivators.

After introducing himself, Yu Beixuan ignored everyone’s reactions and returned to his seat.

Without even looking, his keen intuition told him exactly which students still harbored ill intentions toward Si Er.

He memorized them one by one. If they pursued him normally, that was fine. But if anyone tried underhanded tricks…

Heh. He’d let them understand why nights were so long—and why flowers were so red.

—

Class One was small, only eleven students in total. Aside from Si Er and Yu Beixuan, all the others had purple-grade talent.

Once everyone finished introducing themselves, Instructor Wu He began lecturing about the history of the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent.

“Our Ten Thousand Beasts Continent was once part of the Cang Beast Continent of the Yun Cang Realm. But later, a fiend god descended…”

“Now, our continent has developed into an independent land, though baleful energy still plagues us.”

“We cannot cultivate through spiritual roots like other continents. We can only form contracts with soul beasts, share their lifespan, and gain some of their abilities.”

“Soul beasts are not merely your contracted beasts or cultivation tools—they are companions who fight alongside you.”

“You share a common enemy on this continent: baleful beasts that have lost their reason and know only slaughter.”

“Any exotic beast that absorbs too much baleful energy will become a baleful beast, whether contracted or not.”

“So when cultivating your soul beasts, you must not only push them to train harder, but also constantly monitor their baleful contamination.”

“In a moment, I will distribute a baleful needle to each of you. Place it against your soul beast’s forehead to test.”

“The needle shows ten marks, from one to ten. Below thirty percent contamination is safe. Forty percent is low risk. Fifty percent medium risk. Sixty percent dangerous. At seventy percent, it’s basically beyond saving and can evolve into a baleful beast.”

A girl named Jiao Hongyan raised her hand. “What about above seventy percent?”

Instructor Wu He sighed. “Seventy percent is a low-level baleful beast. Eighty percent is mid-level. Ninety percent is high-level. One hundred percent… is the king of baleful beasts. It would require all Four City Lords working together to slay it.”

The class collectively inhaled sharply.

Si Er felt it too.

When will this baleful beast crisis ever end?

Sometimes it feels like killing all the baleful beasts wouldn’t help. As long as Fiend God Mountain still stands, the baleful energy won’t cease, and more baleful beasts will keep appearing.

At this rate of evolution, maybe one day some humans will endure the baleful energy and evolve stronger constitutions?

Or maybe they’ll grow stronger like baleful beasts—but lose their minds and become baleful humans?

Or maybe… idiots possessed by baleful energy? Extremely destructive idiots?

Those who could hear Si Er’s thoughts were baffled.

What was a “baleful idiot”? It didn’t sound flattering.

Poor Ten Thousand Beasts Continent. Besides the deeply rooted baleful energy, there are many other crises.

Instructor Wu He’s ears perked up instantly. Let me hear this—what other crises?

First, a troublesome one: the Cang Beast Continent.

After abandoning the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent, many spiritual beasts there felt disheartened and withdrew from the world, refusing to contract with human cultivators.

They completely separated their realm from the humans’, becoming two worlds on the same continent.

They even built their own ascension passage and cut off contact with humanity.

Although ordinary cultivators won’t die without contracting spiritual beasts, there are always those whose greed knows no bounds.

For example, the Di family of the Cang Beast Continent. They want to restore their ancestor’s glory of commanding ten thousand beasts—and show off a few divine beasts while they’re at it.

But since they can’t find spiritual beasts on their own continent, they remembered the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent that their ancestors once abandoned.

After all, we truly have divine beasts here! Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise guard the four directions of our continent.

If not for those four divine beast seniors, our continent couldn’t have formed an independent world at all!

Instructor Wu He’s face darkened.

Had it been easy for the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent to survive until now?

And those shameless people of the Cang Beast Continent—after abandoning them nearly ten thousand years ago—now wanted to steal their divine beasts?

Without those Four Divine Beasts, their continent could collapse at any moment.

Was this really true?

But the Di family can only dream about it for now. They haven’t found a spatial passage to our continent yet.

Instructor Wu He immediately relaxed.

Good. As long as they couldn’t find a passage.

There shouldn’t be any connection between the two continents… right?

But just because other Di family members can’t come doesn’t mean the novel’s male lead, Di Lintian, can’t.

If he couldn’t come, how would he fall in love with the male lead, Si Ran? How would he capture top-tier exotic beasts here to present to the Di family ancestor?

He’s already here! Sitting in a classroom at Azure Dragon Academy, making eyes at Si Ran right now.
