Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Developing firearms and improving military strength

  Although the Tiandou Empire still has the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, the Haotian Sect, one of the top three sects, is secretly supporting the Xingluo Empire.

  Although the Haotian Sect has closed its mountains, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect does not dare to send a Titled Douluo to intervene in the war between the two empires.

  Moreover, although the Xingluo Empire does not have a Titled Douluo, it also has hundreds of thousands of well-equipped troops. With these elite soldiers and brave generals, it is not a problem to deal with a few Titled Douluos.

  After all, as a fantasy sewer, the strongest Titled Douluo can only fight one against ten thousand, except for Dugu Bo.

  Although Dugu Bo is the weakest Titled Douluo, his poison skills are terrifying and can easily massacre a city.

  He claims that he cannot beat any Titled Douluo, but he can beat the enemy to only the Titled Douluo.

  The real role of the Titled Douluo is deterrence, which can be used to decapitate the enemy and threaten the enemy's leader. Without a leader, even if there are many troops, they are just a mess and vulnerable.

  In addition to these hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, his grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts are all above level 80.

  With the family's martial soul fusion skill: Nether White Tiger, they have the combat power comparable to that of a Titled Douluo. Basically, a Nether White Tiger is equivalent to an ordinary Titled Douluo, and even against a Super Douluo, it has the power to fight.

  If the Xingluo Empire goes all out, it can at least fuse four or five Nether White Tigers with strength comparable to that of a Titled Douluo. This is why the Xingluo Empire has the upper hand in the war between Xingluo and Tiandou for many years.

  If it weren't for the mediation of the Spirit Hall, most of the territory of the Tiandou Empire would have belonged to the Xingluo Empire, and even the Xingdou Great Forest would have been the private property of the Xingluo Empire.

  Unfortunately, the Spirit Hall will never sit idly by.

  Although Davis agrees with the Spirit Hall's peace concept and understands a series of measures taken by the Spirit Hall, he is a member of the Xingluo royal family after all, and is more likely to be the future Emperor of Xingluo.

  Even if Davis himself does not want to be an enemy of the Spirit Hall, they will still treat him as an enemy and want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

  Maybe one day in the future, the high-level officials of the Spirit Hall will send people disguised as his children to get close to him, and like Tiandou, give him a plan to steal the country.

  Since this fire may burn him, Davis can't just sit back and watch.

  The Spirit Hall is a behemoth. If you don't want to be killed by the other party, you must improve your comprehensive strength of the entire Xingluo Empire.

  "Have you brought all the things?"

  "Yes, this is the gunpowder and sugar you want, as well as the raw materials for making gunpowder."

  The man in black took out a package, which contained refined gunpowder, fine sugar, and more than a dozen charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur.

  That's right, Davis wanted to bring the gunpowder and firearms of his previous life to this world. Very early, he was preparing for the time travel. After all, who hasn't imagined that one day he will travel through time?

  He was very glad that he had traveled to this fantasy sewer world. If he had traveled to some immortal world, the modern knowledge in his head would have been useless.

  "Okay, go down and rest first. If you have nothing to do, don't disturb me."

  "Yes, Your Highness!" After that, the man in black jumped away, and Davis was the only one left in the room.

  Davis silently took out a piece of gunpowder and looked at it in front of him. There was already gunpowder in Douluo Continent, but it was different from the black gunpowder in the previous life. The gunpowder in Douluo Continent was colorful, and only a little black.

  This was because the gunpowder in Douluo Continent was mainly used to set off fireworks at celebrations. Various metal powders were added when making gunpowder, so it would present colorful colors.

  The concentration of gunpowder was seriously insufficient. It was estimated that it could only scare ordinary people and soul masters without spirit rings, and could not cause effective damage to soul masters.

  Otherwise, when making the Buddha's Wrath Tanglian, Tang San would not need concentrated black gunpowder.

  Now, Davis was going to make the black gunpowder in the previous life and use white sugar to increase its power.   

  As the saying goes, one saltpeter, two sulfur, three charcoal, add a little sugar and Ivan. Sugar can enhance the blasting ability of gunpowder. If it can be used to make guns and grenades, it can at least injure the Title Douluo, not to mention killing him?

  In this world where even hidden weapons can kill gods, it is not too much to say that the enhanced black gunpowder can injure the Title Douluo, right?

  "Let's start the experiment."

  Davis brought a dozen materials to the courtyard. There were three pestles and mortars in the courtyard to make the materials into powder, corresponding to saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal respectively.

  "White tiger possessed!"

  ——Roar!

  A sharp tiger roar suddenly sounded. As Davis activated his martial spirit, a strong and sturdy evil-eyed white tiger appeared behind him and finally merged with his body!

  After the beast martial spirit possessed him, Davis only felt that his physical fitness had improved by more than ten times, and he gained the super strength and speed of the white tiger, as well as the tenacious defense.

  "As expected of a top beast spirit, the evil-eyed white tiger is really powerful. Just after possessing me, my strength has increased by more than ten times!"

  Even without using spirit skills, Davis is confident that he can deal with dozens of fully armed ordinary soldiers.

  Davis put the materials into three mortars, then picked up the pestle and ground them hard until the materials were ground into powder.

  The thick and heavy pestle was constantly pounding in the mortar in Davis's hand, and the materials in the mortar slowly turned into powder.

  In the past week, Davis only did two things. The first was meditation and practice to improve his spirit power; the second was to constantly mix materials and improve black gunpowder.

  After the spirit possessed him, he had great strength. In a short while, more than a dozen materials turned into powder.

  "Success!"

  Davis was overjoyed, and immediately mixed the three materials together according to the proportions in his memory, and finally made a small portion of the black mixture, and the last step was the ignition test.

  "I hope it will work this time."

  Davis took out half a pound of gunpowder and put it in a hard iron barrel, and covered it with a huge stone. He ignited the gunpowder with great expectation, and finally hid far away, fearing that he would be hurt by mistake.

  In the past few days, he had also conducted experiments on igniting gunpowder, but the results were not ideal. He could only injure the three-ring soul master, which was far from Davis's idea.

  If he could only injure the soul master, he might as well go to Tang San to buy the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

  Boom!

  In an instant, the gunpowder in the iron tube exploded, blowing the huge stone on it flying out and shattering on the spot. The broken pieces of stone flew all over the sky and finally fell to the ground. Even the hard iron barrel was shattered.

  "This power is quite good. At close range, it is enough to severely damage some non-defense-type fighting soul emperors. If there is more gunpowder, it can even cause damage to soul masters at the soul saint level."

  "If you mix some white sugar and flammable and explosive materials, the power of the explosion will be greatly increased. By then, even soul douluos or even titled douluos will be injured."

  "But now the gunpowder has been prepared. The next step is to manufacture firearms and finally equip them to the Xingluo army to improve the combat effectiveness of the Xingluo army."

  Davis believes that the Xingluo army equipped with firearms will be invincible. However, he can't do things like manufacturing weapons, so he can only ask blacksmiths to help.

  "Fortunately, Gengxin City, where the Blacksmith Association is located, is within the territory of the Xingluo Empire. I can completely ask the people of the Blacksmith Association to help me develop weapons in the name of the Xingluo royal family."
