Upgrade Specialist in Another World

“Now…now what?!”

The sudden interruption caused Jing Mingfeng to cry out in consternation before he turned his attention back to Bai Yunfei.

The giant stone door that contained the whirlpool was starting to tremble. Vibrating as a red light poured away from it, the door eventually came crumbling down, leaving behind only the white whirlpool to hover in mid-air.

Then Jing Mingfeng saw Bai Yunfei suddenly shoot to his feet! He could feel an exorbitant amount of energy flicker off his person, but for some reason, Jing Mingfeng felt like there was…two parts of his soul?!

Was he just imagining things?

“Brother Jing, what’s happening? Is something wrong with Yunfei?”

Li Chengfeng asked, he was even more confused than Jing Mingfeng was.

“I don’t really know, but Ol’Bai said he found a way to open the door and wanted to try it. I think the door went ‘out of control’ after that, so I don’t really know. But Ol’Bai looks like he managed to get the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance and became a Saint!”

“What?!”

Li Chengfeng whipped his head over to stare incredulously at Bai Yunfei. That level of power was undeniably one that belonged to a Saint!

“But…what’s going on now then?” He asked a moment later.

“That…I don’t really know!”

……

Still on the sidelines, both Jing Mingfeng and Li Chengfeng carefully watched as Bai Yunfei suddenly raised his hand. It hung in the air for just a brief moment before summoning a bright iridescent ball of light.

Was that…Xiao Qi?!

Confused by what was going on, the two focused their attention on Xiao Qi. His aura…felt like it belonged to a peak late-stage class eight soulbeast!

But how? At the time before they were split up, Xiao Qi was distinctly a mid-stage class eight soulbeast!

It boggled the mind and left their jaws wide open to see the difference and how Xiao Qi was absorbing the white energy around Bai Yunfei to get even stronger!

“He’s…he’s…” Jing Mingfeng stuttered, “He’s helping Xiao Qi to become a Saint!! That’s crazy! How is this even possible!?”

—Yes! That was what was happening! Bai Yunfei was helping Xiao Qi become a Saint!!

A while before, Xiao Qi killed Gu Lianhun to become a late-stage class eight soulbeast and then later managed to accumulate enough ‘experience’ after killing Gu Jimie to become a peak late-stage class eight soulbeast. By using the connection between him and Bai Yunfei, Xiao Qi was able to continue his growth when Bai Yunfei inherited the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance. But that wasn’t enough to help Xiao Qi ascend. No bond would be deep enough for such a breakthrough to happen. There was still one last step Xiao Qi would have to make himself.

Unwilling to waste this chance, Bai Yunfei decided to make use of the bond he had with Xiao Qi to allow the latter to come out and absorb all of the remaining surplus for his own training!

If he couldn’t use all of that energy even after making an avatar, then he may as well have Xiao Qi use the rest of it!

Yes, storing the energy for later would help Bai Yunfei later on, but storing energy wasn’t perfect. In the course of energy storage, some of that energy would decay and be lost. If Bai Yunfei kept that energy stored, then it may be possible in the future to be able to advance to a Mid-stage Soul Saint, but the amount of energy lost by that point would be quite significant. That was what happened to the previous Supreme Saint.

So Bai Yunfei didn’t waste even a bit of that energy. Now was the time to use all of it at once!

He wasn’t very worried about training in the future. With the Dual Flame Artes and the Luck Pendant, Bai Yunfei was highly confident in his own abilities to reach even higher grounds by himself!

……

No words needed to be said between Bai Yunfei and Xiao Qi. The two were perfectly in sync with one another as the energy continued to be drained away. From the time when he was in the Core World to even now, Xiao Qi was rapidly approaching the realm of Sainthood!

Bai Yunfei could feel the increase in Xiao Qi’s strength, and it made him happy that this was working. It seemed now that Xiao Qi would be able to become a Saint without a problem. The two of them were equally knowledgeable about how chaotic energy worked and definitely reached the criteria for becoming a Saint.

“And…”

Looking left and right at the remaining white light around him, Bai Yunfei waved his right hand to…send the energy straight to Li Chengfeng and Jing Mingfeng!

“Mingfeng, Chengfeng, start meditating!”

He barked at the two, causing both of them to jump a bit in surprise. They were surprised, but not unwilling. Gleefully, the two separated from one another to settle in a meditative position and begin training.

Once surrounded by the white energy, the auras of the two began to rapidly climb…

Bai Yunfei nodded at the sight and touched the Core Stone near his chest. “Core.”

“Yes, Yunfei!”

The voice of the Core Stone replied before beginning to hum. The leftover energy that wasn’t directed to Xiao Qi, Li Chengfeng, and Jing Mingfeng begin to flow back around Bai Yunfei and into his body to be taken into the Core World.

Bai Yunfei hadn’t the ability to continue absorbing the rest of the energy. Before it could start to decay, he might as well start to give it to those capable.

……

Bai Yunfei was the first in the history of Inheriting to use the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance as such. Not only was he the first, but he would most likely be the last.

Of the remaining inheritance, a majority of it was given to Xiao Qi, a portion was given to Li Chengfeng and Jing Mingfeng, and the last bit was sent into the Core World for the people there to use.

Of the people there, there was the Crafting School and the Fate School there to enjoy the benefits. Everyone was shocked by Bai Yunfei’s generosity, but they all began to make the most of the energy so as to avoid squandering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The amount of remaining energy was tiny, but it’d be enough for both schools to benefit greatly from.

……

“Chirp!!!”

At roughly the same time when Bai Yunfei finished transferring the last bit of energy, Xiao Qi let out an excited chirp.

“He did it!!”

Xiao Qi’s aura was now at the level of an Early-stage Soul Saint!

Four different-colored lights shined out from where Xiao Qi was. Bai Yunfei could see his winged figure slowly start to shrink in size before gradually taking on a more humanoid look…

“He’s finally humanizing?!”

Humanization had always been a goal of Xiao Qi. He wasn’t ever able to do it before because of Bai Yunfei, but now that he was a class nine soulbeast, he was.

Now that the process was over, the prismatic light around Xiao Qi faded away for him to gently float down to be on the same level as Bai Yunfei.

It was supposed to be a happy moment, but when Bai Yunfei saw Xiao Qi’s person, he could hardly stop himself from laughing.

“Hey…why in the world did you transform into that?”
