Chapter 104: Davis's Self-Created Soul Skill
"Thunderbolt Lightning!"
Thunder rumbled above the Catastrophe Mountains. A pair of pitch-black dragon wings stretched across the sky like a curtain of darkness. All that could be seen above were flashes of blood-red light streaking through the heavens.
At the center of the storm stood Davis. His blood-red eyes glowed menacingly, and his muscles bulged with terrifying force—his physique now far beyond even the legendary "ghost back" bodybuilders.
The dark wings behind him fluttered with power. With the slightest motion, it seemed he could soar 90,000 miles into the sky. Blood-red lightning flickered in his palms, crackling with terrifying might.
Davis raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike. The blood-red lightning shot forward like a divine punishment. With a deafening boom, the thunderbolt exploded and incinerated a towering ancient tree, reducing it to charred ash.
Davis laughed heartily, full of satisfaction.
"Excellent! My Lightning Strike Light is finally perfected! This move is far superior to the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
Staring at the destroyed tree, Davis was clearly pleased with the destructive force of his new technique.
It had been one month since he slew the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Rather than returning immediately, Davis remained in the Catastrophe Mountains. While the soldiers of the White Tiger Legion cleared out lingering wolf bandits to protect the Star Luo Empire's people, Davis focused entirely on developing new soul skills.
After awakening the White Tiger Evil God Transformation, Davis could now perfectly control four soul power attributes—extreme metal, evil, storm, and lightning. This gave him the ideal foundation to develop powerful self-created techniques.
The Lightning Strike Light was just the first.
"Let's try my Lightning Net next."
Once again, Davis channeled soul power into his palms. The thick and overbearing energy condensed into pure lightning. Countless lightning snakes danced outward and twisted into a spiderweb, forming an electric net that surrounded a massive boulder.
The net pulsed with lightning. Though the boulder was rock-solid, the electric current continued to wrap around it, surging with power.
This technique was not meant to destroy, but to capture. Once the Lightning Net ensnared an enemy, its paralyzing power could incapacitate them, turning them into prey ready for the slaughter.
After unleashing the net, the black color of Davis's ice and fire wings gradually faded, returning to their usual red-and-blue dual glow.
"Time's up, huh..." Davis murmured.
Like the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, the White Tiger Evil God Transformation had a time limit—at most one hour—after which it would deactivate. Even so, this transformation was a powerful tool, and Davis had already used it to develop several self-created skills. The Lightning Strike Light and Lightning Net were just two examples.
Landing on the ground, Davis activated the White Tiger Domain, rapidly replenishing his consumed soul power.
Once fully recovered, he took off again toward the Calamity Mountains.
With the wolf bandits expelled, the Calamity Mountains now belonged to the Star Luo Empire. The White Tiger Corps established their base there, leveraging the terrain to defend against foreign threats.
When Davis returned to the White Tiger Corps' command tent, Lie Tianhu greeted him with joy and immediately reported good news:
"Your Highness! After a month of sweeping operations, we've wiped out all wolf bandits within a hundred miles! Even the ones that fled to the Heaven Dou Empire were eliminated!
And—Your Highness, the firearms you developed are incredible. Once our soldiers were armed, their combat power increased many times over. One ordinary soldier can now defeat three wolf bandits. Even Spirit Elders and Spirit Kings are no match for our forces now!"
By now, Lie Tianhu knew Davis was the true inventor of the firearms. Master Lou Gao had only realized the blueprints Davis designed. After seeing their power, Lie Tianhu admired Davis more than ever.
"Good work, the soldiers did well. By the way, Uncle Tianhu—did we suffer any casualties during the cleanup?"
"It's war, Your Highness. Some loss is inevitable," Lie Tianhu said calmly. "But our casualties were minimal. We lost three men. A dozen were seriously injured, and less than fifty suffered light wounds."
"Understood. Uncle Tianhu, don't forget to issue pensions to the families of those who died."
"Of course, Your Highness. Everything has been arranged."
Lie Tianhu nodded, then said with excitement,
"Your Highness, these firearms are so effective—I suggest we equip the entire Star Luo army with artillery, grenades, and other weapons. What do you think?"
"No." Davis shook his head firmly.
"I designed these weapons to counter the Spirit Hall. If we equip the whole army, they could fall into enemy hands. If the Spirit Hall gets their hands on them, we'd be arming our enemies."
"You're right, Your Highness." Lie Tianhu nodded solemnly, then sighed.
"It's just a shame. These powerful weapons have no battlefield to show their might. If the White Tiger Corps had more men, we could issue more firearms. Then even a Title Douluo would have to kneel before us!"
"Your Highness, why don't we petition His Majesty to expand our forces? As long as we recruit only ordinary people, the White Tiger Corps could grow to tens of thousands. With that, our combat power would skyrocket."
Davis had already considered this. Seeing the Corps' performance, he agreed without hesitation.
"Very well. Once I return, I'll request to increase the White Tiger Corps to 50,000 soldiers."
If the army was to remain secret, 50,000 was the limit. Any more might attract the attention of Spirit Hall or the Heaven Dou Empire, which could be dangerous for the Empire's plans.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lie Tianhu said, beaming. As one of Dai Pojun's top generals, he naturally wished to see the Star Luo Empire grow stronger.
After leaving the command tent, Davis took to the skies, heading for Xingluo City. The White Tiger Corps remained behind to continue their secret training.
"I wonder how Zhuyun and Zhuqing are doing. It's been a while—I wonder if they miss me."
Thinking of Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing—those beautiful, seductive sisters—Davis couldn't help but smile and accelerate, streaking through the sky like a golden meteor.
After two weeks of travel, Xingluo City was finally within sight. Seeing the familiar city gates, Davis smiled confidently.
"Wives, your husband is back!"
With a burst of speed, he flew over the Prince's Mansion like a flash of lightning.
