Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Su Mu lived in Holy Soul Village near Old Jack and retained memories of a previous life. Before his Martial Soul awakening, he had already used an interception system to take Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Inner Power and Purple Demon Eye cultivation and convert them into points 1 9.

At the village awakening, Su Mu obtained the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade from a purchased random super Martial Soul. Its ability to assume a Three-Headed Flood Dragon form and his innate full Soul Power impressed Su Yuntao, who invited him to join Spirit Hall; Su Mu initially declined 2 3.

He later became Golden Crocodile Douluo’s disciple. His master gave him a 100,000-year left leg bone and accompanied him to the Star Dou Great Forest to acquire Soul Rings 13 14 19 26.

Appearance

After his Martial Soul awakening, Su Mu stood over 1.7 meters tall and had a sturdy build 4.

• Flood Dragon form: Black scales cover parts of his body, his hands become dragon claws, and horns grow from his head 6 9.
• Disguises: His Blue Silver Disguise can alter his height and features, allowing him to impersonate people including Tang Hao and Dugu Bo 34 35 43.

Personality

Su Mu is calculating and opportunistic. He treats Tang San as a valuable source of interception rewards, even saving him from Xiao Wu partly because he does not want to lose that source 10 11. He often hides his motives behind friendliness and uses disguises to investigate or manipulate others 10 35 43.

He is also playful and provocative, repeatedly teasing Golden Crocodile Douluo despite the difference in their strength 14 17 35. His conduct can be protective: he sheltered a frightened Zhu Zhuqing in the forest and refused to abandon her when threatened 19 20.

Su Mu’s system intercepts cultivation, abilities and other opportunities from bound targets. Tang San and Yu Xiaogang are listed as his bound targets by Chapter 26 1 26.
