Upgrade Specialist in Another World-Chapter 1343: The Disruption in Tianhun Academy

The two hundred and something members of the rebel faction far outstripped the numbers of those in the Royal Family. However, the total number of people in the loyalist faction made up for that number due to the amount of Soul Kings and Soul Emperors in the Capital.

There were far too many experts in the Capital for the rebels to ignore. That was the main reason why Wu Hao brought as many people as he did here; it was to deal with them.

Many of the rebels were already flying around, intercepting anyone that’d dare fly over to help those with the Royal Family. Many of these rebels were also fighting without worry of their surroundings while the other side had to worry about the collateral damages.

Attacking the heart of the Capital was an incredibly crazy plan, but Liang Fu made sure to make careful calculations of everything. He didn’t care how many people died in the Capital, the only thing that mattered to him was that the Royal Family would be eradicated.

In fact, the indiscriminate slaughter of people in the Capital served the plan well. It’d stoke the panic in the Capital and make things worse.

Not even Tianhun Academy was safe from the panic. Countless students ran this way and that across the campus as the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors flew up to protect the academy from the invaders.

Even the headmaster and vice-headmaster, Mo Huangkong and Wu Dijian, were taking action. Not too long after they took flight, a loud roar reverberated throughout the academy from its back as Long Zhen emerged from it.

Tianhun Academy had three Soul Emperors and around thirty Soul Kings. It was a relatively low number compared to the others but their preparations were far more thorough and their responses ultimately a great deal faster. People were panicking, but the campus had yet to be damaged despite the amount of enemies overhead. It seemed that the rebels knew of the threat the academy held and were doing their best to cripple them before anything could happen.

It wasn’t their goal to destroy Tianhun Academy, but to stop anyone from it to aid the Royal Family.

Inevitably, Tianhun Academy began to take on damages. Though all of the major fighting was taking place in the skies, the elemental attacks from above were inadvertently damaging the entire campus.

“Boom!!!”

A muffled groan could be heard from the center of the campus, causing many more buildings to tremble and shudder. The sound seemed to be coming from the ground…

“No!!”

Mo Huangkong, Wu Dijian, and a few other key individuals from the academy all recognized the sound at once and turned their attention to the source.

That place was at the heart of the campus! The mysterious stone tower that served as the headmaster’s ‘office’!

Everyone’s eyes were on the same place as a white figure came flying abruptly out from the dust. All at once, the air dropped rapidly in temperature before ice and snow formed everywhere as if to freeze the entire place!

Two Mid-stage Soul Emperors flew overhead right when the white figure ascended into the skies. The one from the academy’s eyes widened in alarm as he prepared to defend himself, but it was already…far too late!

“Bang!! Ugh!!”

There was a loud bang and a groan of pain as the Mid-stage Soul Emperor from Tianhun Academy plummeted to the ground like a kite without strings. Blood and ice escaped from his mouth, but the latter eventually began to spread all over his person. By the time he slammed into the ground, the ice had essentially encased him and left him in an unknown state of existence!

A Mid-stage Soul Emperor had been taken out in a single blow!

The one that had been fighting him was stunned for a moment, but grew pleased when he saw his ‘comrade’. “You…you did it?! Ah, er…”

But when the person became clear to see, the man found himself stuttering a bit. This person in front of him was definitely a male, but because of the frosty air, his clothes and hair had all seemingly turned icy-blue in color. The most shocking aspect was how this person had a mask tat looked almost as if it was made from bone. It had the face of a demon painted on it, but no eyes could be found.

It was precisely this mask that frightened the Mid-stage Soul Emperor, but he knew what the mask was; a demon armament. As expected from one, this demon armament was surprisingly powerful and allowed his comrade—who was also a Mid-stage Soul Emperor—to easily defeat the other Mid-stage Soul Emperor.

“Good job! We’ll be able to finish our job better now that you’ve gotten that demon arma—hey! What are you doi—argh!!”

Initially glad to have his battle be settled so easily, the man smiled and was about to turn away when his comrade grabbed at his throat! He wasn’t even fast enough to try and pull the hand away before he felt it tighten!

“Crack…”

The Mid-stage Soul Emperor’s throat snapped with a sickening crack before his body grew limp. Ice blossomed from his corpse before the ‘demon-masked man’ shattered it!

The frozen pieces of the Mid-stage Soul Emperor rained down from the skies. Before it shattered onto the ground, the face of the man and the shocked expression on it could be seen for just a moment…

Another Mid-stage Soul Emperor had been killed! This time…by a ‘comrade’!

“What…”

Many of the spectators there were confused by the sight. What in the world was going on for something like this to happen?

……

“The demon armament’s controlling him! Don’t fight him and run away!!”

Mo Huangkong was the first to cry out a warning to his companions.

“Roar!!”

As if going mad, the ‘demon-masked man’ let out a heaven-shaking roar and then charged at the nearest group of people to his left!

“Aahhh!! Don’t come over!!”

The group of Soul Kings was understandably panicked at the sight. Because of their cries of alarm earlier, they were going to be the next victims of this ‘demon-masked man’!

“No! Senior Li! It’s me! Don’t ki—aahhh!!”

The Early-stage Soul King tried his best to snap the man out from his berserk rage, but it was to no avail. A fist plunged through his chest before he could finish his sentenec!

“Why…how did it end up like this?!”

All of the surrounding battles came to a stop by now. They were all staring at the menacing figure in the middle with mixed reactions. The ones from the Liang were all extremely confused at the actions of one of their own. One of their plans had been to have a few people secretly infiltrate the academy to take and unseal a demon armament. Though it looked like a success, why was it causing their own comrade killing people indiscriminately?!

“Roar!!”

There was another roar as the demon-masked man changed targets to the next closest person!

And that person was…Wu Dijian!

“Bob’s your uncle! Why are you after me?!”

Wu Dijian shouted in alarm before turning to flee!!
