#2 - Research and develop firearms to improve military strength

Although the Heaven Dou Empire still has the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Clear Sky School, one of the Upper Three Sects, faintly supports the Star Luo Empire.

Although the Clear Sky School has now closed its mountain gate, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School does not dare to send Title Douluo to interfere in the war between the two great empires.

Moreover, although the Star Luo Empire does not have Title Douluo, it has hundreds of thousands of well-equipped troops. With these elite soldiers, dealing with a few Title Douluo is not a problem.

After all, in this Xuanhuan sewer, the strongest Title Douluo can only fight ten thousand enemies alone, except for Dugu Bo.

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

It is said that he can't defeat any Title Douluo, but he can beat the enemy until only Title Douluo are left.

The real role of Title Douluo is still deterrence, being able to carry out decapitation strikes against the enemy and threaten the enemy's leaders. Without leaders, no matter how many troops there are, they are just a pile of loose sand, vulnerable to a single blow.

In addition to these hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, his grandparents, parents, several uncles and aunts are all War Soul Douluo above level eighty.

Relying on the martial soul fusion skill in the family: Netherworld White Tiger, they have the fighting power comparable to a Title Douluo. Basically, one Netherworld White Tiger is worth a Title Douluo of ordinary level, and even has the power to fight against a Super Douluo.

If the Star Luo Empire goes all out, it can fuse at least four or five Netherworld White Tigers with the strength comparable to Title Douluo. This is why the Star Luo Empire has been in the dominant position in the wars between Star Luo and Heaven Dou for many years.

If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's mediation, most of the Heaven Dou Empire's territory would already belong to the Star Luo Empire, and even the Star Dou Great Forest would be the private property of the Star Luo Empire.

Unfortunately, the Spirit Hall will never sit idly by.

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

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

Maybe one day in the future, the Spirit Hall's high-level officials will send people disguised as his children to approach him and, like Heaven Dou, carry out a plan to steal the country from him.

Since this fire may burn himself, Davis cannot sit idly by.

The Spirit Hall is a behemoth. If he doesn't want to be killed by the other party, he must improve his own strength and the overall strength of the entire Star Luo Empire.

"Have you brought everything?"

"I brought it. This is the gunpowder and white sugar you wanted, as well as the raw materials for making gunpowder."

Saying that, the man in black took out a package containing refined gunpowder, high-quality white sugar, and a dozen portions of charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur.

That's right, Davis wants to bring the gunpowder and firearms of his previous life to this world. He had been preparing for the transmigration a long time ago, after all, who hasn't fantasized about transmigrating one day?

He is very fortunate that he transmigrated to this Xuanhuan sewer world. If he transmigrated to some Xianxia world, the modern knowledge in his mind would be useless.

"Okay, you can go down and rest first. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important."

"Yes, Your Highness the First Prince!" After saying that, the man in black left, leaving only Davis in the room.

Davis silently took out a portion of gunpowder and looked at it. The Douluo Continent already has gunpowder, but it is different from the black gunpowder of his previous life. The gunpowder of the Douluo Continent is colorful, with black being only a small part of it.

This is because the gunpowder in the Douluo Continent is mainly used for setting off fireworks at celebrations. Various metal powders are added when making gunpowder, so it will appear colorful.

The concentration of gunpowder is seriously insufficient, and it is estimated that it can only scare ordinary people and Soul Masters without soul rings, and cannot cause effective damage to Soul Masters.

Otherwise, Tang San would not need concentrated black gunpowder when making the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus.

And now, Davis is going to create the black gunpowder of his previous life and use white sugar to increase its power.

As the saying goes, one part saltpeter, two parts sulfur, three parts charcoal, add some white sugar and you get Big Ivan. White sugar can enhance the blasting ability of gunpowder. If he can manufacture guns, cannons, and grenades, not to mention killing Title Douluo, at least it can injure them, right?

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

"Let's start the experiment."

Saying that, Davis brought a dozen portions of materials to the courtyard. There were three mortars and pestles in the courtyard for grinding the materials into powder, corresponding to saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal respectively.

"White Tiger Avatar!"

— Roar!

A sharp tiger roar suddenly sounded. As Davis activated his martial soul, a strong and sturdy Evil Eye White Tiger appeared behind him, and finally merged with his body!

After the beast martial soul avatar, Davis only felt that his physical fitness had increased tenfold, gaining the White Tiger's super strength and speed, as well as tenacious defense.

"As expected of a top-level beast martial soul, the Evil Eye White Tiger is indeed powerful. Just the avatar alone has increased my strength tenfold!"

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

After the martial soul avatar, his strength is great. Before long, all the dozen portions of materials were turned into powder.

"Success!"

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

"I hope this time it will be successful."

Davis took half a catty of gunpowder and put it into a hard iron bucket, and covered it with a boulder. He ignited the gunpowder with anticipation, and finally hid far away, for fear of accidentally hurting himself.

In the previous few days, he had also conducted ignition experiments with gunpowder, but the results were not ideal, and he could only injure Three-Ring Soul Sovereigns, far from reaching Davis's vision.

If he can only injure Soul Sovereigns, he might as well go to Tang San to buy Zhuge Godly Crossbows.

Boom!

In an instant, the gunpowder in the iron bucket suddenly exploded, blasting the boulder above it into the air, shattering it on the spot. The broken gravel flew all over the sky and finally fell to the ground. Even the hard iron bucket was blown to pieces.

"This power is not bad. At close range, it is enough to seriously injure some non-defense-type War Soul Emperors. If there is more gunpowder, it can even cause damage to Soul Saint-level Soul Masters."

"If you mix in some white sugar and flammable and explosive materials, the explosive power will be greatly increased. At that time, even Soul Douluo and even Title Douluo will be injured."

"However, the gunpowder has been prepared now. Next, it is to manufacture firearms and finally equip them to the Star Luo army to enhance the Star Luo army's combat effectiveness."

Davis believes that the Star Luo army equipped with firearms will be invincible. However, he can't do things like manufacturing weapons, so he can only ask the blacksmith to take action.

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