Self-Created Soul Skill: Aurora Divine Wind Claw
Gui Mei said in his cold, sinister voice, "A blacksmith's only value is forging weapons. Could it be that the Star Luo Emperor intends to expand his army?"
"Old Ghost has a point!"
Beside him, Yue Guan sized Gui Mei up with an "ambiguous" gaze and said coquettishly, "The Star Luo Empire has always revered martial strength. It's only because their population is smaller than Heaven Dou's that they have consistently followed the elite-soldier route."
The main forces of the three great powers of Douluo Continent each had their own characteristics. Spirit Hall relied on tens of thousands of Spirit Masters, each capable of fighting a hundred enemies alone.
The Heaven Dou Empire had an army of a million, while the Star Luo Empire possessed hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and fierce generals. The three powers formed a delicate balance.
"Now that the Star Luo Empire is recruiting blacksmiths in large numbers, in my view, they have two purposes." After pausing, Yue Guan continued, "First, to forge weapons for the Star Luo Empire; second, to expand the size of their army."
"Most blacksmiths are strong, robust men. With some training, they can immediately become powerful soldiers!"
"Moreover, this move has shut our mouths! If Star Luo openly recruited soldiers, it would inevitably draw criticism and condemnation from Spirit Hall."
"Yet now, they are recruiting blacksmiths under the banner of 'improving blacksmiths' benefits.' Even if we wanted to use this as an excuse to make trouble for Star Luo, we would have no pretext."
"Exactly!" Gui Mei frowned. "Most blacksmiths come from the lower classes. If Spirit Hall insisted on moving against the Star Luo Empire, it would be equivalent to making enemies of the common people across the entire continent."
"If we truly did that, we would be digging up Spirit Hall's roots. This truly is an unsolvable open scheme!"
Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters mostly came from poor backgrounds. Offending the common people would undoubtedly be tantamount to digging its own grave.
If Spirit Hall did nothing, it could only watch helplessly as the Star Luo Empire grew stronger. If it acted, it would be opposing the common people of the entire continent.
Just as Gui Mei had said, this was an unsolvable open scheme!
However, if Dai Weisi had heard their conversation, he would definitely have been speechless.
Are you all fucking Little Dis? How are all your imaginations this wild? I just invented firearms—how did this turn into some conspiracy theory?
An unsolvable open scheme? Is it more unsolvable than Nine Turns Large Intestine?
"Hmph, foolish!" Bibi Dong rebuked coldly. "Do they think that winning over the common people of Douluo Continent means they can oppose my Spirit Hall? Heh heh heh..."
Bibi Dong wore a cold smile as her chilling laughter echoed throughout the Pope's Palace. Looking in the direction of the Star Luo Empire, she continued, "Star Luo Emperor, I hope you know what is good for you. If you merely have the blacksmiths forge iron, I can tolerate you for now."
"But if you dare expand your army, then do not blame Spirit Hall for showing no mercy! Heh heh heh..."
The Star Luo Empire had always followed the elite-soldier route. If it gained another million elite soldiers, no one on the continent would likely be able to stand against Star Luo again.
Although Titled Douluo were powerful, they could only carry out decapitation operations. If they were truly made to clash head-on with a million soldiers, aside from Dugu Bo, everyone else would be swallowed by the tide-like army within minutes.
Time flew, and a year and a half quietly passed.
In the rear courtyard of the First Prince Residence, an old man and a young man were engaged in an intense spar. The young man had golden hair, and the childishness on his face had long vanished, replaced by tenacity, calmness, and composure. His eyes held nothing but fervent battle intent!
The young man was Dai Weisi, the Crown Prince of Star Luo Empire. He was now twenty years old, so calling him a youth no longer seemed quite appropriate. He should now be considered a young man.
Two years had passed since he came to Douluo Continent, and his strength had grown ever more powerful.
"Not enough! Not enough! Uncle Li, is this all the strength you have? After all this time, have you only grown this much stronger?"
After Martial Soul Possession, Dai Weisi became even more robust. Even in a spar, his attacks were ruthless. A lion used its full strength even when hunting a rabbit, and tigers were no different.
Two years had passed, and Dai Weisi's strength had become increasingly formidable. He was now a Level 48 Soul Ancestor!
The Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber had improved his physical condition, his cultivation speed rivaled Innate Full Soul Power, and with two years of cultivation, his soul power had risen by a full seven levels.
Even during those two years, he had often gone to the firearms factory to research new firearms with Master Lou Gao, while also finding time to develop a powerful Self-Created Soul Skill.
If Dai Weisi had devoted himself entirely to arduous cultivation, his soul power would probably have already reached Level 49.
Even so, Dai Weisi himself was extremely satisfied. After all, his predecessor had only reached Level 49 soul power three years later, during the Spirit Master Tournament.
Dai Weisi attacked with all his strength, while Li Hu could only continuously parry and defend, feeling utterly speechless inside.
Fight? Who could possibly beat you, my dear lord?
If I hurt you, little ancestor, my entire clan would surely curse my ancestors for eighteen generations!
Li Hu was now fifty-seven years old, and his soul power had reached Level 78. His talent could only be considered ordinary; over the past two years, he had only raised his soul power by two levels.
Though he grumbled inwardly, he had personally witnessed Dai Weisi's changes over the past two years. A twenty-year-old Level 48 Soul Ancestor was absolutely a rare genius.
Even he now had no choice but to take Dai Weisi seriously. A moment of carelessness, and he might suffer at Dai Weisi's hands.
"Uncle Li, use your full strength. I want to see how powerful my Self-Created Soul Skill is," Dai Weisi shouted softly as soul power surged through his body like a tide and gathered in his hands.
Due to Martial Soul Possession, his hands resembled powerful tiger claws, capable of tearing through steel.
"Yes, First Prince. Please attack with all your strength. Seventh Spirit Ability: Martial Soul Avatar!"
The moment he spoke, Li Hu's body was suddenly enveloped in an Earth Yellow radiance. Sharp, imposing tiger roars continuously rang out from within the light as his body swelled without stop, a long tail swaying in the wind behind him.
His human form vanished, replaced by a fierce tiger as enormous as a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Facing Dai Weisi's Self-Created Soul Skill, Li Hu had no choice but to activate his Martial Soul Avatar and go all out.
"Uncle Li, here I come! Aurora Divine Wind Claw!"
Golden Light burst from his powerful tiger claws. Dai Weisi's aura soared as he swung both claws toward the fierce tiger Li Hu had transformed into, striking at its face with the speed of a divine wind.
Seeing this, Li Hu hurriedly extended a claw to meet Dai Weisi's tiger claw. The two powerful claws collided fiercely, erupting with a thunderous boom.
Dai Weisi went all out, relentlessly attacking Li Hu. Under his ceaseless barrage, Li Hu felt waves of sharp pain shooting through his palms, and his body was forced back several steps!
His martial soul was merely an ordinary tiger, while Dai Weisi's was the Evil Eyed White Tiger, a top-tier Beast Soul. It naturally carried an oppressive aura toward tiger- and cat-type martial souls. On top of that, Dai Weisi had consumed Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, giving him the strength of an ox.
He had spent three months painstakingly practicing this Aurora Divine Wind Claw. Originally, Dai Weisi had wanted to learn Storm Nebula Split, but unfortunately, he did not possess Tiger King's speed.
Dai Weisi simply could not understand it. They were both tigers, so why was Tiger King speed-type while he was strength-type?
Left with no choice, Dai Weisi learned Jin Tiezhu's Aurora Divine Wind Claw based on the scenes in his memories.
