Upgrade Specialist in Another World

“Revert the state of the soul 10 seconds prior?”

Bai Yunfei wondered aloud at the +13 additional effect.

Ten seconds wasn’t a lot of time, but Bai Yunfei realized the implications of the effect!

This effect was basically rewinding time!! It only targetted the soul, but that was something deadly useful in a battle!

Consider this possibility: If Bai Yunfei was to accidentally suffer a soul attack and have his soul destroyed, then the Soul Sealing Mandate would rewind the clock by ten seconds and completely undo the damage!

A second possibility: The backlash of Soul Ignition was something terrible for the soul, but that backlash could be undone if Bai Yunfei used this effect!

It was even better in that it activated automatically! In other words, this was airtight insurance for his soul!

Of all the techniques in this world, the majority of them specifically meant to kill their opponent were all ones that attacked the soul. It wasn’t an attack that could be protected against if done right! But with this effect, wasn’t this basically a way for Bai Yunfei to escape death?!

And that wasn’t considering the +13 additional effect of the Soul Sealing Mandate!

The effect stated that it was could be activated automatically upon danger of the soul being destroyed. Ten seconds worth of damage could be healed in a second every twenty-four hours. This effect’s abilities couldn’t be understated if it was used in his battle against Nether when he was struck by his Samsara attack.

With so many different soul armaments protecting his soul, Bai Yunfei felt like it’d be incredibly difficult for anyone to destroy his soul...

“Phew...”

Being handed a powerful insurance like this felt exhilarating to Bai Yunfei. Remaining calm wasn’t something Bai Yunfei felt like he could do even after several deep breaths...

Too much excitement meant being more pliable in making rash decisions like over-upgrading.

Another good thing about this upgrade was the insight he got. Since he was stronger now, the +13 insights he was receiving were a lot clearer than they were when he was just a Soul King.

The light of understanding shined brilliantly in his eyes. A fist-sized white stone appeared in his right hand—a mid-heaven tier upgrade stone.

In his left appeared the Vampiric Demon Edge!

“Upgrade!”

Bai Yunfei commanded as he brought both items together!

“Bang...”

The upgrade stone transformed into a white mist and flowed into the Vampiric Demon Edge to be absorbed.

Suddenly, Bai Yunfei snapped his right hand up over the soul armament and clenched his fist!

He did it!!

He managed to successfully change the outcome of a +12 upgrade!

Bai Yunfei wasn’t going to upgrade another soul armament like before. It was time for him to recollect his thoughts rationally and calmly.

Things were different now that he was a Soul Emperor. Now that he was looking at the Upgrade Technique, Bai Yunfei could see several new ideas he never noticed before! The +12 barrier had a pretty good chance of being broken!

“Right now my limit is being able to upgrade high-heaven tier soul armaments to +11...”

He muttered to himself as he stared at the Vampiric Blood Edge. “Tch...as expected from a soul armament meant for a do-or-die situation...”

The +10 additional effect was already something meant to be used in dire straits, but the +12 additional effect was even more of a double-edge than the first.

A short-term boost in power for double the backlash. It was an effect that had the potential of hurting the user more than the enemy if used incorrectly.

He sighed. Putting the Vampiric Blood Edge away, Bai Yunfei decided to take out the Lightningfire Cauldron next.

He wasn’t just planning on upgrading soul armaments. It was a nice time to start crafting one too.

A black stone appeared over his right hand—it was the Meru Stone he found in the Tomb of the Emperor Beasts.

He studied the stone for some time. Each inch of its surface was meticulously observed before Bai Yunfei took out another object: a torn and age-worn manual.

This was the manual he got as a Soul Sprite long time ago in the Northern Cliff Province, the Flying Dagger Compendium!

Many of the flying daggers Bai Yunfei made from this compendium had served Bai Yunfei faithfully over the years. But those flying daggers weren’t always able to keep up with his strength. The stronger Bai Yunfei got, the less useful these daggers became.

So there was a good reason why he was taking the compendium out right now: the soul armament he was trying to craft was the strongest flying dagger the compendium had to offer!

A powerful flying dagger he could actually use at his current level of strength!

The description of the flying dagger felt unreal almost. He couldn’t believe a flying dagger like that could even exist. As much as he wanted to craft it before, Bai Yunfei never had the right materials until now.

As the master crafter he was now, Bai Yunfei had a discerning eye that could analyze the flying dagger instructions and marvel at the ingenuity of its design.

Even now, Bai Yunfei was having doubts whether or not the creator of this compendium wasn’t a crafter after all...

Now that he was committed to making this flying dagger, Bai Yunfei began to take out a series of materials he’d need...

Once all preparations were done, Bai Yunfei let out a small sigh to steady himself. His fireseed entered the cauldron and lit it with a bright fire. One by one, he tossed in the materials and prepared to craft...

Time went by slowly. Day turned to night by without rest while the mountain Bai Yunfei was on was washed with a sea of flames.

“Boom!!!”

A loud explosion rocked the entire Core World. Energy ran across the world in such large amounts that even the inhabitants of Yao City started and snapped their head towards the source.

———————

The mountain peak Bai Yunfei was on was destroyed. As if a bomb had exploded there, the peak was now a crater with Bai Yunfei standing at the middle. He had a mixed expression of joy, shock, and regret.

A swirl of fire traveled upward into Bai Yunfei’s body to be reabsorbed—it was the fireseed Bai Yunfei placed in the Lightningfire Cauldron.

The only issue was that the cauldron...wasn’t there anymore! It had blown up!!

That was why Bai Yunfei was looking regretful. The destruction of the Lightningfire Cauldron caused immense sorrow and surprise. But despite the cauldron’s destruction, the item he was crafting didn’t fail. That was why he was excited. The soul armament was even stronger than he expected!

From the flames that were still alive above him, Bai Yunfei could see the light of something jet-black in color. Raising his hand up, he caught the item when it flew over to him!

It was a jet-black flying dagger with a blade three inches long and two fingers wide!
