Upgrade Specialist in Another World Chapter 645
Bai Yunfeiâs right arm flew to behind his head, colliding with the object coming at him with a metallic clang when his bracer parried it.
The streak of green light flew away from Bai Yunfeiâs bracer and then back towards Cheng Yao who caught it.
It was that heaven-tier soul armament!
âHeâŚhow was he able to regain himself so fast!!â
Cheng Yao was in shock. The âPulsing Windsâ was a mental attack! It was something that could affect even the soul! There shouldâve been no one other than Soul Kings that wouldnât be affected for as long as Bai Yunfei was. Most people wouldâve fallen into a state of despondence, but Bai Yunfei had only been stuck for as long as it took one to blink their eyes before he was back to normal!
âHe was able to block my Lunar Chakram, does that meanâŚ.the bracer on his arm is also a heaven-tier soul armament?â
The sleeves that used to hide Bai Yunfeiâs arm from sight were cut open due him having to block the Lunar Chakram.Â
Cheng Yao looked painedâany regular soul cultivator wouldâve tried to dodge the blow and wouldâve left them open to another attack, but Bai Yunfei reacted differently to what he thought and blocked with his arm. That way, Bai Yunfei was able to avoid a follow up from Cheng Yao without fear of being hurt.
His face darkened. With a grunt, he swung his arm to release the chakram again to fire it at Bai Yunfei.
From far away near the Harmonious Heaven Hall.
Wu Hong had been watching the fight go on with wide-open eyes. From when Cheng Yao used the Pulsing Winds to when Bai Yunfei managed to snap out from his stupor and defend himself, Wu Hong felt himself at a lost almost. His soulsense was starting to creep forward into the battle to cover the place.
His eyebrows furrowed a moment after as he felt something. âStrangeâŚ.â
The sharp Wu Hao next to him caught onto the the tone in his voice at once. âBrother, what is it?â
Wu Hong looked strangely to Wu Hao as well before he shook his head. âItâs nothing, I was merely surprised by their strengths, thatâs all, haha. Neither of the two are Soul Kings, and yet one is capable of a soul skill that is similar to a soul attack, and the other is capable of immediately countering it. What a miraculous exchange.â
âAh yes, it does feel a little breathtaking to watch.â Wu Hao smiled, âThe strengths of these two youngsters transcend every other peer they have in their age group. They are well worthy of being the ones to lead their generation.â
They were talking with one another, but their eyes were glued to the fight taking place in the skies away from them. The battle was indeed a ferocious, but amazing one. With them here to watch the fight, they could immediately stop the fight if it seemed if one person wouldnât be able to evade a killing blow in time.
Wu Hao himself had nearly leapt into action when Bai Yunfei had nearly been hit by the Lunar Chakram, but then when he felt the change take place in Bai Yunfeiâs aura, he immediately disregarded his previous plan.
And so the two came to a lull in their conversation to fully enjoy the battle between Bai Yunfei and Cheng Yao in peace.
But while Wu Hao was watching the fight without seeming like anything was the matter, Wu Hong himself had a strange look in his eyes. They flickered with light as he thought to himself, âIf Hao didnât feel itâŚ.was I mistaken then?? I couldâve sworn I felt âitâ appearâŚ..
âBut I canât feel anything anymore. Was I just imagining things then? Perhaps it was something else? How strangeâŚâ
When Cheng Yao had used his âPulsing Windsâ to attack Bai Yunfei, it had actually hampered Bai Yunfeiâs movement by a great amount. But due to some sort of miracle, his next attack failed. Even if Cheng Yao were to try again with the move, it wouldnât be enough to deal with Bai Yunfei.
Even if an actual early-stage Soul King were to try and do the same thing with Bai Yunfei, it wouldnât work. How could Cheng Yao and his imitation of an attack work then?
Whilst Bai Yunfei was entranced by the effects of Cheng Yaoâs attack, the Soul Sentinel Scarf on Bai Yunfeiâs forehead had emitted a noise that Bai Yunfei could hear. It was soothing to the ears and immediately flooded his body with relief and energy to drive away the foreign energy sapping his ability to move.
Bai Yunfeiâs mental fortitude was on par with Cheng Yao. Combined with the effect of the Soul Sentinel Scarf, there was no way Cheng Yaoâs Pulsing Winds would be able to do a thing to Bai Yunfei.
But still, there was a look of bewilderment in Bai Yunfeiâs eyes when the attack took place. Even if he was able to block it, he was still panicking at the situation.
This bewilderment wasnât because of the mental attack Cheng Yao unleashed, but because of something elseâŚ..
There was a feeling he had never felt before coming from the Soul Sentinel Scarf!
It wasnât a feeling heâd normally have whenever an effect of one of his equipment activated. This was the feeling of something âresonatingâ mysteriously with him!
As mentioned before, Regalias are usually with a soul, and the one in the Soul Sentinel Scarf was merely a small trace of one without any actual sentience. Even with how much time Bai Yunfei spent into trying to study what a soul armament with a soul meant, he wasnât able to find a thing about it. Aside from when the soul armament had registered him as his master, Bai Yunfei didnât feel anything else from the depths of the Soul Sentinel Scarf. Actually, Bai Yunfei had nearly forgotten that there was such a thing in the Soul Sentinel Scarf to begin with.
But this time he clearly felt it. The soul within the Soul Sentinel Scarf had âwokenâ without even a warning!
It was as if a signal had been given to the soul and it was finally ârespondingâ!
Or in other words, it was âresonatingâ with Bai Yunfei!!
In that short moment, Bai Yunfei could sense a feeling of excitement coming from the scarf. It was as if something was truly coming to life within the Soul Sentinel Scarf in order to resonate with him!
This sensation lasted only for a moment before it faded. The effects of the Soul Sentinel Scarf was already being activated, and Bai Yunfei was already snapping out from his stupor from Cheng Yaoâs attack. Without even being able to think if what he felt was real or not, Bai Yunfei had to respond to the Lunar Chakram.
He had to dodge the weapon without sparing anything else a second thought. And by the time he dodged that, he had to dodge yet another throat grab from Cheng Yao before he was hit with a blow to the stomach and sent flying away.
âClang! Clang! ClangâŚ.â
Green met crimson as the two streaks of light mixed with one another. A series of metallic clangs could be heard whenever the two lights intersected and a small shower of sparks were seen.
Each time Cheng Yao released the Lunar Chakram, he was able to try to attack at places Bai Yunfei wasnât defending as he parried the Lunar Chakram.
But Bai Yunfei was still able to dodge most of his moves with the same grace as always. Every blow Cheng Yao tried to land with his fists usually hit air, and each time the Lunar Chakram came forward, Bai Yunfeiâs Cataclysmic Seal would come forward to stop it.
This was quickly becoming a battle Cheng Yao felt like puking blood from. From each time he tried to attack, Cheng Yao could see Bai Yunfei âexaminingâ each of his moves as if his fighting style was supposed to be a performance Bai Yunfei was enjoying.
There was also another aspect to Bai Yunfei that Cheng Yao had a hard time believing his eyes. From the looks of thingsâŚ.Bai Yunfeiâs soulforce didnât look like it had depleted at all!
He himself had already used the Electric Purgatory and the Pulsing Winds, which took a decent amount from him. If he added on the attempts he tried to hit Bai Yunfei, his soulforce was already a quarter gone. But Bai Yunfei didnât even look like anything had changed since the battle even begun!!
Bai Yunfeiâs strength didnât seem like it was on par with his, but Bai Yunfeiâs soulforce was definitely holding out for far longer than his!
Despite him hardly able to believe that notion, Cheng Yao had to admit that if things were to continue on like this, the one thatâd end up losing would most likely be him!
