Upgrade Specialist in Another World

“Rumble!!”

The entire world seemed to tremored as the behemoth exploded off against the ground, leaving a tremendous hole in space. As if vaulting up over a wall, the behemoth flew over Dong Wanlei’s head off into the distance!

“......”

Everyone stood there, awed by what they had just witnessed. No one there could believe their eyes.

If they weren’t mistaken...Gu Lianhun had just...fled off with Mo Ni?!

The final battle wasn’t even finished yet. Everyone had yet to even move, and yet a Saint had...been the first to flee?!

It boggled the mind of everyone there. Incredulous, the people from both sides of the battle found themselves speechless. Some thought their nerves had been brought to such a high point that they were hallucinating things even.

The first to react was Bai Yunfei and Shen Pojun, but not even they had expected Gu Lianhun to do that. Both crafters presumed Gu Lianhun was ready to advance the final battle and inflict harm onto the Crafting School. If they fought there, Gu Lianhun would’ve been able to fight without worry while Bai Yunfei and Shen Pojun would have to multitask between battling and protecting the Crafting School. Instead of that, Gu Lianhun had fled as quickly as he appeared in the first place...

Bai Yunfei’s first thought was to give chase, but he abandoned that thought straight away. Gu Lianhun fleeing wasn’t the best-case scenario, but it was a great one nonetheless. If he and Shen Pojun were to chase down Gu Lianhun, then there remained the possibility that the Saint might actually try to self-destruct, of which the following explosion would surely cause no small amount of harm to the Crafting School.

It seemed Shen Pojun shared his sentiment, as the older crafter gave Bai Yunfei a nod when their eyes met.

“Ancestor!!”

Half a beat slower on the uptake, a Soul King from the Soul Refining School let out a wail that set off a chain reaction across the rest of the Soul Refining School.

“Bastard!!!”

Dong Wanlei was the next to cry out. Furious, he let out a spiteful cry toward the direction Gu Lianhun disappeared in with a look that seemed ready to kill. The way his entire body trembled and shook made it look like he was fully prepared to tear and devour someone limb from limb.

They all thought Gu Lianhun was making a ‘triumphant’ return to destroy the Crafting School. Instead, the Saint had disappeared in less than a second after his return! This complete subversion in expectation had left Dong Wanlei with nothing fury and horror!

Fury because Gu Lianhun had abandoned the rest of his school to escape, and horror when he realized what that meant for the rest of them...

“We’re leaving!!”

Dong Wanlei’s voice carried out to the ears of everyone there. Before his voice could even finish echoing, Dong Wanlei was gone! Gone in a burst of light to fly in the same direction Gu Lianhun had gone.

He was fleeing!!

Those who received his message were equally quick to respond. Their flight response kicked in at once and saw to them running after Dong Wanlei!

Everyone knew that the moment Gu Lianhun fled was the moment their defeat was set in stone. They had no chance of victory anymore. Their strongest was gone while Shen Pojun was still here...how could they possibly win?!

And so everyone from the two schools began to flee the moment they realized that!

......

“Ancestor...”

Bai Yunfei quickly glanced to Shen Pojun the moment he caught sight of the enemies fleeing.

A hard glare greeted him. “Fleeing after daring to strike my school? Let death take them!!”

And in a burst of red light, Shen Pojun was gone to chase after Dong Wanlei.

“Kill them!!!”

A triumphant war-cry exploded out from the Crafting School. Reinvigorated, everyone from the school began to chase after their foes.

And so the final battle continued with one party fleeing and the other party giving chase.

Bai Yunfei initially planned to follow after Shen Pojun but thought against it, a bitter smile on his face. He wasn’t able to continue fighting in his current state.

He didn’t have to. The battle was all but over. With Shen Pojun and Chu Yintian here, cleaning up the stragglers would be a non-issue.

From the beginning of the battle to now, Bai Yunfei had used Soul Ignition twice, activated the Vampiric Demon Edge’s effects, used Berserk Mode, and flung around an exorbitant amount of soulforce in a minute. Fighting for even a minute longer would bring about more dangers to his body than he should risk.

And so he decided to leave this to the others so he could rest.

He turned his head to Tang Xinyun. “Xinyun, I’ll be resting in the Core World. Please take the Core Stone and stay here and look after little Rui...”

“Oh—ah! Are you alright, Yunfei?”

She asked, concerned for his wellbeing.

“I’ll be fine, don’t worry.” Bai Yunfei smiled. Turning his attention first to Huangfu Rui, then to the Zi Jin in Song Lin’s arms, Bai Yunfei let out a sigh of concern before disappearing from the world.

......

Within the Core World.

Bai Yunfei reappeared on top of a mountain. With a flick of his hand, the King Caging Bell came out in its enlarged state and fell down to cover his person.

The moment he was enclosed, Bai Yunfei slapped his right palm to his chest to deactivate all his soul skills...

Pain flooded his body the moment his aura levels began to drop. It was a pain like none before that started to grab hold of his body!

“Aahhhh!!!”

Unable to endure the pain, Bai Yunfei let out a miserable howl of pain!

“Gongggg!!!”

He slammed his hand against the King Caging Bell, causing the bell to echo out a loud sound that carried on for miles within the Core World...

......

While Bai Yunfei was recuperating from his wounds in the Core World, a terrible massacre was taking place out in the real world.

Broken in spirit, those from the Wind Lightning and Soul Refining School were like lambs among wolves and quickly met their fate to the crafters.

Even those fighting similarly-leveled crafters lost in the end. No one from the two enemy schools was able to win against their pursuers.

Not even the strongest, Dong Wanlei, was able to avoid having Shen Pojun catch up to him, and Huo Zhenting was already in the middle of battle with Chu Yintian.

Every single person trying to flee was inevitably being killed, and the heart-pounding final battle was finally coming to a close...
