Upgrade Specialist in Another World-Chapter 1277: Unexpected Reinforcements

Given how intense the battlefield and how hot the air was, anyone would be able to tell that this snow was by no means ordinary. Not even a blizzard would be able to produce enough snow to withstand the heat of this area. This blizzard, it seemed, was most likely fueled by elemental energy.

What overshadowed the petals of frost and snow was the absolutely massive wave of soulforce. Like a net, it traversed the sky and suppressed everything else underneath it.

This chilling frost. This intimidating aura…

Bai Yunfei knew that aura quite well…

“Is…that the Frostfeather Saint!?”

Bai Yunfei thought to himself—what was the Frostfeather Saint doing here?!

As confused as he was, this was also a very welcome piece of news to Bai Yunfei! Ecstatic, he looked up toward the source of the blizzard.

An eerie bluish-white light spilled out across the distant horizons. Elemental ice gathered from everywhere into a central position and eventually took on the form of a giant icy figure. Wings extended out from the figure gracefully, revealing a humanoid silhouette to walk out from in front of it.

The figure was very far away from everyone else when they appeared. Then, in the blink of an eye, the figure took a single step and somehow appeared countless kilometers closer!

It was indeed the Frost featherSaint！！

After getting so close, the figure’s aura was definitely confirmed by Bai Yunfei to belong to the Frostfeather Saint!

Once within the range of where the battle Bai Yunfei was taking part in, Frostfeather Saint stopped to level a calm stare at him. Then, when their eyes met, the Frostfeather Saint smiled and nodded his head...

Countless streams of white light gathered to the right palm of the Frostfeather Saint when he raised it. Solidifying into a giant icicle, the white light then shot forth with incredible speed!

No one expected the Frostfeather Saint to arrive here. Bai Yunfei might’ve been happy about it, but Shangguan Xiongyan was not. He had noticed the Frostfeather Saint’s arrival a second faster and yet he nearly failed to react in time to the Frostfeather Saint’s attack. His head had barely snapped up in time so his eyes could register the icicle coming his way!

“Frostfeather Saint!!”

The name of Shangguan Xiongyan’s opponent came to mind right away: the aura of a soulbeast, an ice-type, an avian, a class nine soulbeast! That could only mean one thing then, this was the ‘reawakened soulbeast’ from when the Beast Taming School was destroyed, the Frostfeather Saint!

Why the Frostfeather Saint decided to emerge from the Soulbeast Forest and came here was a question he couldn’t think too hard on. Without hesitation, he activated the Triumphant Flame’s barrier again!

“Bzz…”

A brilliant light emerged from his body in a way similar to the Cataclysmic Seal. A half-second later and Shangguan Xiongyan was completely protected inside of its sphere.

“Boom!!”

The icicle slammed into the barrier of the Triumphant Flame and exploded. Bright-white light scatter around the barrier as the Law of Ice wrought havoc onto the world around him.

“En?!”

The Frostfeather Saint looked surprised. He didn’t hold back in his icicle, and yet it still failed to break through the enemy’s defenses!

Having been imprisoned for over three thousand years, the Frostfeather Saint had no way of knowing about the owners of the ‘Ten Great Regalias’. Thus, he had no way of knowing that it was the Triumphant Flame that had protected Shangguan Xiongyan.

“Hmph!”

His initial confusion gave way to a more level expression. Expanding both his wings out wide, the Frostfeather Saint and the giant figure behind him leaned back slowly before…exploding toward Shangguan Xiongyan like a rocket!

Shangguan Xiongyan had only just recovered from the initial attack. His face blanched once he saw that he was being attacked and had the Triumphant Flame produce another barrier to protect himself.

“Boom boom boom boom…”

The Frostfeather Saint advanced onward despite knowing that the Triumphant Flame was going to be reactivated. A beam of powerful elemental energy extended out from the Frostfeather Saint and impacted onto the barrier at once.

……

Each time the Frostfeather Saint struck, Shangguan Xiongyan would fly back in such a haggard and rougher state compared to than before. At such a sight, Bai Yunfei could feel his heart begin to calm down again...

The appearance of the Frostfeather Saint was the point of reversal. With him, they’d be able to win!

He shot off toward Ge Yiyun, whose figure had already gone pale and plummeted to the ground moments before.

They finally had a moment to themselves now that the Frostfeather Saint was keeping Shangguan Xiongyan occupied. Launching himself toward the edge of the battlefield, Ge Yiyun quickly deactivated his skills and gritted his teeth. At once, the pain of the recoil shot through his body and immediately caused Ge Yiyun to fall due to the pain.

Supporting the man, Bai Yunfei noted with alarm at how pale the man was and how lines were cracking open all over his face. The man looked as though he had been aged a dozen years at once! Shocked, Bai Yunfei quickly attempted to transmit his own soulforce into Ge Yiyun to stabilize his body before feeding him a heaven-tier pill.

Prior to leaving the Alchemy School, Bai Yunfei had received a decent quality of heaven-tier pills from Yao Wuchen. Though there weren’t many of them due to the recent battles and wars, but they would still be of great benefit to Bai Yunfei.

“Senior Ge, how do you feel?”

He questioned the man as soon as the effects of the pill began to show up. He allowed himself a quick sigh of relief seeing that the man was recovering, and continued to transmit his soulforce as he could.

“I…I am fine, my life is still mine to live…” Ge Yiyun rasped.

He forced himself to stare at the battle in front. Having greater clarity than before, Ge Yiyun was pleasantly surprised to see the Frostfeather Saint suppressing Shangguan Xiongyan.

“Senior Ge, the Frostfeather Saint has come to aid us. Our victory is definitely at hand now that he is here. Please rest assured, you can come into the Core World and recover there.”

Bai Yunfei suggested upon his determination of Ge Yiyun’s health.

Ge Yiyun’s face softened. He nodded. “Very well, I’ll entrust this fight to you then…”

He disappeared into the Core World a second later, leaving Bai Yunfei behind to continue observing the battlefield.

The Frostfeather Saint had been the advantageous one ever since his arrival. No matter how strong the Triumphant Flame was, Shangguan Xiongyan was still suffering heavy losses to his soulforce and stamina. Though that being said, he had yet to sustain any serious damage yet.

Nonetheless, the Frostfeather Saint had him under lock and key. It didn’t matter how hard Shangguan Xiongyan struggled, it was only a matter of time before his energy would give out. And that was only if the Frostfeather Saint decided to kill him before that...

A decent amount of time had already transpired, meaning the winner of Shen Pojun and Gu Jimie’s battle was close to being determined!

……

Bai Yunfei knew he didn’t have to do anything anymore for this battle. He wasn’t needed anymore, but yet that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to fight. Descending downward, Bai Yunfei flew off to deal with the Soul Emperors.

He could tell that the battle between the Soul Emperors had been far intense since he left it. All sorts of battles broke out everywhere, many of them covering a vast amount of area. But he was pleased to see that the majority of his side were winning their battles.

Of the nine Soul Emperors Gu Jimie and Shangguan Xiongyan had, two of them were Peak Late-stage Soul Emperors, three were Mid-stage Soul Emperors, and four were Early-stage Soul Emperors. The first two were being routed off by Chu Yintian and another Late-stage Soul Emperor from the Fate School while the rest fought everyone else.

Bai Yunfei had been attentive to Li Chengfeng’s fight with Mo Ni the most. The Black Dragon King had already been forced away from Mo Ni due to Xiao Binzi and Hu Yang fighting together. Gui Nu was currently fighting Yang Yao and Ouyang Hua while Xiao Qi flitted in and out of the chaotic battlefield. Instead of fighting enemies one on one, Xiao Qi employed guerilla tactics to strike at any enemy caught unaware in the middle of the chaos. It wasn’t always an easy thing to land a killing blow on someone, but Xiao Qi still managed to create enough trouble for his foes.

“Ah!!”

A scream rang out the moment when Bai Yunfei’s figure found floating high near the battlefield. An Early-stage Soul Emperor had been fighting Yang Yao and was far too busy protecting himself from her soul armament when Xiao Qi flitted out from the shadows. Talons glistening coldly, Xiao Qi latched onto the head of the Soul Emperor and immediately tore it apart…

This marked the first death of the battle, but the impact it had on both sides was huge. Just hearing his screams had everyone from both the Fate and Soul Refining Schools feeling anxious.

———————————

“Damn!!”

Gu Jimie cursed to himself, horrified by what was happening. It completely disheartened the man when he felt the Frostfeather Saint arrive—how could things have gone this way!

Coming to a conclusion, Gu Jimie raised his hands and began to make a series of handseals.

“Boom!!”

Suddenly, his entire body began to radiate with more power great enough to cause Shen Pojun to become wary!
