Upgrade Specialist in Another World Chapter 1173: Promptly Rushing Over

Blue light began to dye the skies instead of green and violet. Many of the soul cultivators from the Wind Lightning School were beginning to back away to a respectable distance from the barrier. Murong Xiao, Xu Yuanying and the other twenty-something Soul Kings were now standing in front of the barrier.

Then without saying anything, both sides charged at one another to fight!

They were against twenty-eight men; two Soul Emperors and twenty-six Soul Kings. The Water School was slightly behind in terms of numbers, but both sides had equally powerful Soul Emperors, so the stalemate was slightly manageable, but not for long.

Murong Xiao had initially been worried about the Wind Lightning School having another powerful soul cultivator in their reserves. But after multiple days of fighting without seeing another Soul Emperor, Murong Xiao felt somewhat relieved. They’d be in deep danger if even one more Soul Emperor was added to the mix. 

Something still bugged Murong Xiao. What if there was someone hidden? Perhaps the enemy was waiting for an opportune moment to land a critical blow?

Four Soul Emperors were now fighting one another while the Soul Kings fought in a different area away from them. It was a mess of blue, green, and violet light as water, wind, and lightning ran amuck across the battlefield. The world felt as though there was a storm taking place over the Water School.

“Boom!!”

While Murong Xiao was fighting one of the Soul Emperors, a bolt of lightning suddenly emerged from the clouds above to strike him down.

“Hah!!”

Clapping his palms together, Murong Xiao transformed the elemental water around him into a gigantic water dragon. Coiling around him before making its way upward, the dragon expelled a geyser of water to create a protective dome around Murong Xiao.

“Pa!!”

The lightning bolt struck the water dome, piercing through it before arcing onto the head of the water dragon!

“Boom!!”

Another explosion took place as the upper half of the dragon was destroyed, but the dragon had done its job. The lightning bolt, infused with the Law of Lightning, had run out of energy after being absorbed by the Law of Water. 

Murong Xiao clenched his right hand upon seeing his defense fall. Another dragon formed out of the leftover energy before rushing toward his opponent.

In retaliation, the enemy Soul Emperor began to go through a series of handseals. Pushing both palms out, he unleashed a whole network of violet lightning around him.

“Boom!!!”

The water dragon slammed into the lightning barrier at once. The two Laws began to fight against one another but began to fade away after a while.

On the other side, the battle between the two Mid-stage Soul Emperors was getting intense. Enormous waves of energy flowed across the skies like a storm at sea. Dragons made of water would crash against multiple bolts of lightning one after another and caused multiple rifts in space to open up. Every time one did, Xu Yuanying was there to close them.

Both were fighting on an equal level, but neither seemed to be fighting to the death. They seemed to be holding back for some reason.

Killing another Soul Emperor wasn’t an easy task. Not even the Soul Kings were having an easy time doing so. Many of them were fighting to the best of their abilities, but no one had yet to kill their enemy. Some were injured or even dying, but they would always be saved by a comrade before the killing blow could be landed.

The battle went on for some time before several of the combatants noticed something to the northern skies.

An ‘ocean of fire’ was rapidly approaching them!

The ocean seemed to be hot enough to melt the skies almost with the fire was rapidly approaching!

And within the flames, three distinct auras could be felt!

“Soul Emperors!!”

Someone from the Water School announced in joy.

“Are…are they from the Fire School?!”

“That aura…that’s Xiao Binzi from the Crafting School! Reinforcements from the Crafting School are here!”

Murong Xiao was one of the first people to recognize the auras of the newcomers. Given the friendly relationship between the Water School and the Crafting School, Murong Xiao was quite confident that Xiao Binzi was indeed one of the newcomers.

The battle came to a pause when the three newcomers arrived. The Soul Emperor from the Wind Lightning School had an odd look on his face when he saw the joyous look on Xiao Binzi’s face. Glancing at his fellow Soul Emperor, he and the other gave up on fighting and retreated along with the Soul Kings to safety.

There was no point in fighting if three Soul Emperors were here.

No one from the Water School gave chase. It’d be pointless to do so if they could rest up instead.

The ‘ocean of fire’ was finally here on the battlefield now. Everyone could distinctly feel the auras of not only the three Soul Emperors, but ten additional Soul Kings.

“Whoosh!!”

A crimson bolt of light emerged from the ocean in front of the Water School’s elders, revealing over a dozen individuals.

“Xiao Binzi!” Murong Xiao cried out the moment they appeared.

“Headmaster Murong.” Xiao Binzi nodded.

“Bai Yunfei pays his respects to headmaster Murong.” Bai Yunfei greeted the man as well.

“You’re Bai Yunfei!”

Murong Xiao gasped. He wasn’t the only one surprised, the other elders with him were stunned to see the ‘famous’ Bai Yunfei in the flesh. No one thought he’d be as young as he was too.

Zheng Kai took the opportunity to step forward, “Headmaster Murong!” he bowed.

“Zheng Kai? What are you doing here?”

“I was at the Crafting School when I heard about the news. I cam rushing over.” Zheng Kai explained as he glanced over to the people behind him.

“Headmaster, where is Tingting?”

“Reinforcements from the Wood School just arrived, Tingting and the others are heading to receive them from behind.”

“What!?” Zheng Kai gasped, he was still worried for Kou Tingting’s safety. 

“Yunfei!” He turned to Bai Yunfei, “I’m going to find Tingting, you take care of this!”

“Ah’Kai!!”

Bai Yunfei moved to stop him, but it was too late. Zheng Kai was already taking off to the south.
