Upgrade Specialist in Another World

“Tch!” Bai Yunfei clicked his tongue. This wasn’t the way things were supposed to go.

“Teacher Jin, please hurry and see to Tingting’s safety.” He requested a Late-stage Soul King.

“Yes!”

The Soul King took off after Zheng Kai at once.

“Please rest assured, Tingting and the others went to receive the Wood School, there shouldn’t be any danger since all our enemies are gathered here instead...” Murong Xiao’s voice spoke into the minds of Bai Yunfei and the others.

But Bai Yunfei didn’t seem relieved at that. “There should definitely be more enemies around here...”

“What?!”

Murong Xiao and Xu Yuanying were both stunned. Could it be true? They watched as Bai Yunfei turned to a spot in space to the right of the Wind Lightning School’s members. “Quit hiding and come out...Soul Emperors. Did you think you could wait to ambush us?”

Everyone went pale in the face, especially those from the Water School. It was too hard to believe that a Soul Emperor had actually been lying in wait—and Bai Yunfei said ‘Emperors’— there was more than one!?

All eyes were focused in on the same place Bai Yunfei was looking at, but they couldn’t see anything. Not even their soulsense was telling them anything.

That didn’t mean Bai Yunfei was lying. It simply meant the Water School couldn’t detect them. The expressions on the fighters from the Wind Lightning School was all the proof they needed to know that Bai Yunfei was indeed speaking the truth!

“So...you’ve managed to see through our Windcloaked Pagoda...you are as the rumors say, Bai Yunfei.”

A calm voice spoke, shocking everyone from the Water School. A gust of wind within the area began to pick up before transforming into a mighty tornado of light, revealing nearly a dozen men standing right there!

The green light from the tornado slowly shrunk down to fit in a small tower-shaped object a green-robed elder held in his hand. Then...the auras of everyone was revealed!

Two Soul Emperors and nearly ten Soul Kings!

“Yue Kuangfeng!! That’s the Windcloaked Pagoda! No wonder we weren’t able to sense them, they were...they were hiding in that the entire time?!”

Murong Xiao exclaimed at once the moment he realized the object in the elder’s hand. That elder was one of the strongest members within the Wind Lightning School, a Mid-stage Soul Emperor!! And the small object in his hand was a treasured heirloom of the Wind Lightning School, the Windcloaked Pagoda. By harnessing the power of the wind, the user would be able to hide from even someone a tier stronger than them!

This time, Bai Yunfei and Xiao Binzi were also quite surprised to hear about this. Why would the Wind Lightning School hide a fighting force like that the entire time? The Water School would’ve been destroyed if they came out to fight a lot earlier.

Everyone was also confused how Bai Yunfei was able to detect them. If that object was powerful enough to hide its user from those stronger than him, then how was Bai Yunfei able to detect them?!

Internally, Bai Yunfei was heaving a sigh of relief at his cautiousness. When they first arrived, Bai Yunfei used the +10 Invisibility Ring he had to scan the area to see if anyone was hiding. And as it just so happened, there was indeed a group of people hiding.

+10 Additional Effect: Reveal anything hidden within a kilometer for 10 seconds in exchange for 5% of current soulforce reserves.

Can increase range of perimeter by 100 meters in exchange for 1% of soulforce.

Cooldown of 1 minute.

“You’re...from the Soul Refining School!!”

Bai Yunfei ignored Murong Xiao’s announcement of Yue Kuangfeng. His eyes were focused on the black-robed people behind him.

The elder standing in front of the Soul Kings might have done a good job hiding his presence, but the Soul Kings did not. Bai Yunfei could tell from their familiar auras at once that they were from the Soul Refining School.

“Kekeke...so you spotted us. You are as resourceful as we thought, Bai Yunfei...we’ve been expecting you!”

The black-robed elder began to cackle in response to Bai Yunfei’s hostility.

“You...were targeting me?!” Bai Yunfei demanded.

No one expected to hear the elder say those words, no one from the Water or Crafting Schools, at least. The true goal of their enemy was...Bai Yunfei?!

Realization dawned upon Murong Xiao at his words. Everything made sense now! It was no wonder they were evenly matched with their enemies and why their enemies didn’t bother to try and defeat them as quickly as possible. The Wind Lightning School was simply waiting for Bai Yunfei to respond to the Water School’s plight and come!

It puzzled the mind of everyone else.

“How did you know I’d come here?!”

“We weren’t.” Yue Kuangfeng gave a cold smile. “But the ‘possibility’ was there. And even if you didn’t, then the Water School would be destroyed anyways. Regardless, you’re here now, aren’t you? This is the best-case-scenario, you and the Water School will die today!!”

“......”

Bai Yunfei was speechless. This was going nowhere as he expected, and neither was the situation looking good...

Having ten or so Soul Kings didn’t pose much of a threat for Bai Yunfei, but having Yue Kuangfeng and the elder from the Soul Refining School? They were both Mid-stage Soul Emperors!!

He, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Binzi were only Early-stage Soul Emperors. He might be able to fight off one of the Mid-stage Soul Emperor himself, but Xiao Qi and Xiao Binzi would definitely have a hard time fighting the second one...

It was possible he could have Xiao Qi control the Interdimensional Phantasm to make things easier for them, but that wasn’t a solution, but merely an option...

The only reason he was able to kill the Mid-stage Soul Emperor Lin Xiangtian was specifically due to him being from the Beast Taming School. The Beast Taming Ring was a fatal weapon to any beast tamers and gave Bai Yunfei an unbelievable advantage.

Mind running kilometers per second, Bai Yunfei tried his best to think of a way to deal with his enemies.

But sadly he couldn’t think of one, and the enemies he was up against wasn’t going to give him any more time to think...

“It’s time!!”

The Soul Emperor from the Soul Refining School exclaimed, a burst of soulforce erupting from his person. It was time to wage war!

“Damn!!” Bai Yunfei cursed. He waved his right hand to summon a multicolored squirrel from the Core World. “Xiao Qi, control the Interdimensional Phantasm and fight the Wind Lightning School’s Soul Emperor with elder Xiao! I’ll handle the one from the Soul Refining School!!”

......

No one from the Crafting School had the time to even discuss their course of action with the Water School. Both schools were simply too focused on trying to fight off their enemies to the best of their abilities.

Hardly any time had passed from when the battlefield had first settled down!

The men from the Water School charged to meet their old enemies from the Wind Lightning School while the ones from the Crafting School flew forward to fight the Soul Refining School. Yue Kuangfeng and his fellow Soul Emperor flew ahead of their troops to provide cover, prompting Bai Yunfei to break away from Xiao Binzi and Xiao Qi with the Interdimensional Phantasm. The squirrel was already leaving behind a trail of disturbed space in its flight.

If he could pull his enemy into the Phantasm, then Bai Yunfei would definitely have the advantage in the upcoming fight.

It was almost time...time to do it!!

When there was only a hundred meters of distance between the two forces, the two Mid-stage Soul Emperor continued to fly forward rather than break away. Were...were they planning to fight in close-combat?!

That pleased Bai Yunfei. If they planned to do that then sending them into the Phantasm would far easier than planned! A miragelike light exploded from the Interdimensional Phantasm, marking everything within its range as a whole new world inside a different dimension.

Yue Kuangfeng finally began to show some signs of actions when he was just a few dozen meters away. He sent an ‘ordinary’ bolt of elemental wind toward Xiao Binzi, forcing the latter to summon a golden parasol to protect himself and Bai Yunfei. The golden soul armament exploded with light before growing larger in size.

“Boom!!!”

The bolt of elemental wind struck the light from the golden parasol before fading away.

Then in the next second, a black streak of light shot toward Bai Yunfei!

“You want to fight me in close combat?!”

Pleasantly surprised by how well his plan was going, Bai Yunfei took out the Voidsplitter to distract the Soul Emperor.

All preparations were done with that, the Interdimensional Phantasm was ready to bring them into itself!

“Whoosh!!”

Suddenly, the Soul Emperor from the Soul Refining School threw out a black streak of light!

Bai Yunfei’s eyes widened. This wasn’t what he expected the Soul Emperor to do! The Cataclysmic Seal came out at once to protect him, but rather than strike it, the black streak of light froze just twenty steps away from Bai Yunfei and exploded!

“What?!”

A strange energy was erupting from the explosion to wash over him—this wasn’t what he was expecting at all!

Gleeful expression appeared over the two Soul Emperors upon seeing their success. The soul refiner waved his right hand at once to reveal what had exploded—a black egg-sized pearl. That strange energy came from within the pearl to surround Bai Yunfei in its black light.

“Yunfei!!”

Xiao Qi had only enough time to shout out Bai Yunfei’s name before...Bai Yunfei and Yue Kuangfeng disappeared from the battlefield!
