Chapter 50: White Tiger Earth-Splitting Slash
ROAR!
As Davis began to absorb the soul ring, the soul of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear appeared within his spiritual sea. Upon seeing its killer, the bear's soul let out an angry roar and charged forward, raising a paw as massive as a tree trunk!
> "You dare to flaunt your strength in front of a true expert—the mighty dragon?!"
Within the spiritual sea, Davis's gaze turned cold. In an instant, his figure transformed into a majestic Holy White Tiger, intercepting the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's paw and letting out a thunderous roar directly beside its ear.
ROAR—!!
The terrifying tiger's roar pierced into the soul of the bear. The fear in its eyes was clear as it staggered back instinctively.
Davis chuckled.
> "What now? Afraid?
Haha… now you finally understand why the tiger is called the king of the mountain."
In his previous life, tigers were revered as kings of beasts and were also believed to ward off evil spirits and ghosts.
The current Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was nothing more than a soul remnant—how could it resist being suppressed by the king of beasts?
Davis's spiritual power was twice that of ordinary soul masters. With the Hope Dew enhancing his spirit and the support of his Saint White Tiger martial spirit, absorbing a 30,000-year-old soul ring posed no difficulty for him at all.

> "This kid is truly a genius! That's a 30,000-year-old soul ring!"
Outside, Dugu Bo observed Davis calmly absorbing the soul ring. Two hours had passed already, yet Davis showed no signs of pain, indicating that the dangerous phase had already passed smoothly. Even someone as experienced as Dugu Bo couldn't help but be impressed.
> "If this boy breaks through to Titled Douluo in the future… the entire Star Luo Empire might dominate the Douluo Continent."
But Dugu Bo wasn't one to dwell on such things. He was more focused on his poisons. Taking out a ninth-grade purple ganoderma, he swallowed it and began meditating to refine the medicinal energy and improve his own soul power.
---
Three more hours passed.
Davis slowly opened his eyes, his expression filled with joy as he felt the surge of soul power within him.
> "Hey! My friend, you're awake? How are you feeling? What level is your soul power now?"
> "Senior, I've reached Level 55, and I'm already close to 56."
> "Oh, Level 55, huh… WHAT?! You're already Level 55?! Are you sure?"
When he heard this, Dugu Bo was absolutely shocked.
> "I'm sure. I am now a Level 55 power-attack system Spirit King."
Davis laughed heartily. Absorbing the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's 30,000-year soul ring, combined with the previous Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, had given him an enormous boost in soul power.
The other four immortal herbs had each helped in different ways:
Eight-Petal Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot refined his body through fire and ice, enhancing the quality of his martial spirit.
Autumn Dew of Qushui had strengthened his mental power, though it did not increase soul power directly.
Earth Dragon Golden Melon had been mostly consumed during the evolution of his Evil-Eyed White Tiger into the Holy White Tiger.
With his martial spirit now evolved, Davis's cultivation speed had doubled. Even in recent days, he had kept up his training diligently.
This level of progress was not surprising to him.

Dugu Bo's expression turned serious.
> "Young friend, how old are you exactly? Be precise—down to the month."
> "I'm 20 years and 3 months old."
> "…A Spirit King at age 20… To my knowledge, you're the first in Douluo Continent's history to reach the Spirit King realm at this age!
And you've already got two ten-thousand-year soul rings... Your talent is unmatched!"
At this rate, with nearly three years left before the next Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament, Davis would only be 23 years old, well within the age bracket to participate.
If things continued as they were, he would likely become a Spirit Emperor by then.
As for the Spirit Hall possibly targeting Davis?
Dugu Bo wasn't worried. Davis was the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, and the empire's strength had only grown over the years. The Spirit Hall wouldn't dare provoke them at this point—
Unless Bibi Dong had gone mad and wanted to destroy the Spirit Hall with her own hands.

> "Young friend, tell me about your fifth soul skill. The power from a 30,000-year-old soul ring must be extraordinary."
> "Haha! Of course. Senior, watch closely!"
Davis released his martial spirit. The dark fifth soul ring glowed ominously as pure, ultimate golden soul power gathered into his arms.
As the soul skill activated, Davis felt as if he had become the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear itself, with immense strength surging through his limbs.
> "Fifth Soul Skill: White Tiger Earth-Splitting Slash!"
With a roar toward the heavens, Davis's hands transformed into fierce tiger claws. He slashed at a massive boulder with overwhelming force.
The ultimate golden soul power surged outward like a gale, violently slicing through the air.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion echoed.
The massive rock was split apart, shattered instantly into debris that flew in all directions. The golden wind blade seemed to rip through the air like a divine sword!
> "So this is the White Tiger Earth-Splitting Slash."
---
But Dugu Bo frowned slightly.
> "Is that it?"
Although the move was strong, it seemed to simply condense soul power into a wind blade. It lacked complexity.
> "A 30,000-year soul skill… That's all?"
> "Senior, you're mistaken. I haven't shown you the real thing yet."
Davis smirked, then began slashing again. His arms moved rapidly—so fast that they created afterimages in the air.
Each slash unleashed a gale-like shockwave, leaving deep gouges on trees, rocks, and the ground.
Then, Davis clenched his fists, and massive amounts of soul power surged into his arms.
After ten seconds of charging, his hands gleamed with intense golden light that was too blinding to look at.
> "This… This is—!"
Dugu Bo quickly shielded his eyes.
> "That earlier version was an instant cast. But this is the fully charged form—the true White Tiger Earth-Splitting Slash!"
Davis let out a mighty roar.
His hands turned into twin blades of golden light, and as he swung them with full force—
Swoosh!!
The golden sword energy exploded forth, tearing through the air and the earth!
It howled like a storm, tearing apart all obstacles in its path. A crack more than twenty meters long was left in the ground in its wake!
---
Dugu Bo was stunned as he stared at the wreckage.
> "This move…
White Tiger Earth-Splitting Slash—tiger roars like the wind, splits heaven and earth, destroys all… It lives up to its name.
With this soul skill alone, you could hold your own against Soul Saints!"
Davis smiled, though slightly regretful.
> "The power is indeed great, but unfortunately, it needs ten seconds of charging, and the instant version is only moderately powerful.
Plus, every use consumes one-tenth of my total soul power."
Still, he was extremely satisfied.
A soul skill
of this level could act as a finisher, or be used in rapid succession for continuous assault.
And more importantly—
> The greatest gain from this hunt wasn't just his fifth soul ring.
