The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH48

Chapter 48: Student Yu Intimidates the Entire Row of Eggs

Except for Yu Beixuan, everyone was left staring blankly after hearing Si Er’s answer.

What did he mean, “aren’t you all like this?”

Did they even have the chance to be like that? They had never encountered something so outrageous!

Normally, when they extended their soul power, it failed nine times out of ten. Once they encountered resonance, they had to seize the opportunity and form the contract immediately. The idea of withdrawing their soul power simply never crossed their minds.

Something like Si Er resonating with nine beast eggs at once was unheard of.

Was a light-attribute constitution really that terrifying? It could completely ignore attribute differences and contract at will. Aside from dark-attribute soul pets, most soul pets possessed at least some affinity toward light.

Seeing that even Si Er himself seemed confused, Dean Hong felt helpless. He sighed, then smiled.

“Since Student Si Er has already contracted his beast egg, please step aside. Let Student Yu Beixuan come forward.”

Yu Beixuan’s expression stiffened slightly.

He had already contracted three soul pets and knew very well what would happen when he extended his soul power.

When he contracted them alone, it hadn’t felt like much. But doing it in front of so many people? That was pure social death.

He didn’t want to embarrass himself—but he also didn’t want to appear timid.

He lifted his head and flashed Dean Hong a bright smile, his small tiger fang peeking out and making him look even cuter.

“Dean Hong, I think I can just take that dark-attribute beast egg directly, right? I’m probably the only one here who can contract it anyway.”

Dean Hong chuckled. “But you may not necessarily be able to contract it. According to the rules, it must be done publicly.”

“…”

Yu Beixuan fell silent for a long moment.

This egg wasn’t absolutely necessary. He already had three top-tier soul pets. This high-level one was optional.

“Sorry, Dean Hong. I’ve decided—”

Before he could say “to give up,” Si Er’s inner voice rang out again.

“Guagua, do you know what’s inside that dark-attribute egg?”

“Oh? It’s a hybrid of a Longevity Turtle and a Nether Black Tortoise? That sounds pretty powerful.”

“Wow, that’s actually amazing. It combines the advantages of both—long life, strong offense, strong defense, control, and healing. This is literally my dream turtle!”

“With this turtle, Student Yu wouldn’t even need to contract a separate Longevity Turtle.”

After hearing this, everyone looked at Yu Beixuan with envy.

The words he had been about to say died in his throat.

Raising turtles was a specialty of Xuanwu Academy. Since he was destined to raise one, it should be the one most compatible with him.

And it was Si Er’s dream turtle.

He had to have it.

Dean Hong had sensed Yu Beixuan’s earlier resistance and deliberately asked with a smile, “Student Yu, what have you decided?”

Yu Beixuan replied seriously, “I’ve decided to follow the rules and contract it publicly.”

Even if it meant embarrassment.

“Good! Then come up quickly!”

Dean Hong looked at him expectantly.

Si Er watched Yu Beixuan with confusion.

“Why does Student Yu look so reluctant?”

Guagua snickered.

[Hehe, just watch. The moment to witness a miracle is coming.]

[Though it won’t be as miraculous as yours, Er’er.]

Si Er immediately looked at Yu Beixuan with anticipation.

Feeling Si Er’s burning gaze, Yu Beixuan’s scalp tingled.

Fine. He’d just go for it.

It was inevitable anyway.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Beixuan extended his soul power.

The crowd saw the nine beast eggs—originally lined up in a neat row—suddenly change formation.

Except for the dark-attribute egg, the other eight hopped downward all at once, hiding under the table and huddling together, trembling as if they had seen something terrifying.

Si Er was astonished.

I think this is way more spectacular than when I contracted mine.

Student Yu truly deserves to be the big villain from the original story. Just look at that intimidation, that oppressive aura—can ordinary people do this?

Even someone far stronger than him, like Dean Hong, probably couldn’t scare so many beast eggs.

Dean Hong, who had been enjoying the spectacle: …

What was going on? Why did this child’s inner thoughts refuse to spare him?

The others silently agreed with Si Er.

Previously, they had thought Yu Beixuan’s looks were handsome with a hint of cuteness.

Now their perception completely changed.

Cute? What cute?

This was the unmistakable face of a major villain.

Even the little tiger fang that once seemed adorable now looked like a sharp, menacing fang.

Beast eggs had far greater tolerance for pressure than humans. If even they were afraid of him, then humans should keep their distance.

Yu Beixuan noticed the fear in others’ eyes—but he didn’t mind.

Instead, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.

As long as they thought he was scary rather than embarrassing, it didn’t count as social death.

And most importantly, Si Er wasn’t afraid of him.

As long as Si Er wasn’t afraid, nothing else mattered.

After Yu Beixuan stepped down, it was Si Xu’s turn to contract a spirit beast egg.

His process was smooth and straightforward. The moment he extended his soul power, a green egg resonated with him, and the contract was completed immediately.

Under normal circumstances, such a smooth contract would have drawn admiration.

But after the two extraordinary performances before him, it felt almost dull.

The same went for the others who followed.

Still, this session brought a pleasant surprise to the academy’s higher-ups: for the first time ever, all ten eggs they had prepared were successfully contracted.

The academy’s eggs were generally of excellent quality—but the better the egg, the more selective it was. In previous years, at least two or three eggs would remain unclaimed.

Dean Hong found it strange and decided to check later whether the other academies had also distributed all ten eggs.

Si Er was puzzled as well.

Didn’t Guagua say some eggs usually remain? The novel described it that way too. So why…

[The Ten Thousand Beasts Continent is facing mounting crises. It needs more geniuses to emerge. That’s why the top ten this year in all four academies are genuine talents.]

“But that doesn’t match the novel I read…”

[Er’er, the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent is a real world. The novel you read was likely a kind of revelation—a script set by an external Heavenly Dao.]

[But the Heavenly Dao of this continent is merely weakened, not dead. It gave you a hint, hoping you could change things.]

“…?”

Si Er was completely dumbfounded.

How is that possible? I’m just a simple, somewhat foolish college student! What could I possibly change?

[You’re still alive. The Si family hasn’t been wiped out one by one by Si Ran. That’s already a change.]

[Sometimes details determine success or failure. Si Ran is the breakthrough point chosen by the external Heavenly Dao.]

[As long as you prevent that breach from opening, the external Heavenly Dao’s scheme cannot succeed.]
