Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Wuling grew up with his younger sister Aimisi in Jinzhou. Their parents died, leaving a sizable inheritance; Wuling said he had been living on his own savings while keeping enough money for the siblings to live comfortably for several years 1 66 74.

He and Aimisi entered Star Torch Academy together but were assigned dormitories on opposite sides of campus. Wuling moved into room 307, where he reunited with his friends Calcharo and Lingyang 2 3.

The student register identifies Wuling’s department as Artificial Intelligence, although a chapter summary also places him in the Labelle Department 2 5. His stated age is likewise inconsistent: he introduces himself as eighteen, while a later passage refers to nineteen years of life 7 20.

Appearance

Wuling has a handsome appearance, black hair, and golden eyes 2 6 50.

• After the system enhancement, his posture became straighter and his physique visibly muscular, including an eight-pack 21.
• Cartethyia noticed that he looked different after his enhancement, though Wuling concealed its cause 23.

Personality

Wuling describes himself as someone who wants a quiet life. He is considerate toward people he believes need help: he discreetly shares food with Cartethyia, slows his pace to walk with her, and helps Chisaki care for a mother cat and her kittens 7 8 13 17.

He also enjoys teasing his friends and can be competitive or theatrical. After gaining authority during military training, he made Calcharo and Lingyang run extra laps; he also revived an elaborate middle-school persona when meeting Phrolova 50 80. Despite his attentiveness in other situations, he often interprets others’ romantic interest as friendship 2 57 81.

Story Role

Academy life and the system

Wuling settles into academy life, finds work at Bozai Coffee, and meets classmates including Cartethyia and Xigelika. At the café, he and Chisaki begin caring for a mother cat and her three kittens 5 9 13 17.

The AI Assistance System then binds to him. Abu calls Wuling unusually special but withholds an explanation; Wuling subsequently experiences recurring strange dreams, including one in which he is called the Rover 20 25 32.

Star Society and new friendships

While looking for a club with a manageable schedule, Wuling is maneuvered into joining the Star Society by Nabomo. At a club gathering, he meets Phrolova and reintroduces his old “Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King” persona 35 50.

After meeting Camellya on campus, Wuling shares a meal with her and Encore. He later visits their home but leaves in embarrassment after finding an adult book hidden in the couch 32 54 57 62.

Military training and Abu’s new form

During military training, Instructor Jiyan singles Wuling out for testing after seeing his speed. Wuling earns a supervisory role and uses it to make Calcharo and Lingyang run extra laps 79 80.

At Bozai Coffee, Wuling encounters an unfamiliar white-haired girl and eventually recognizes her as Abu in human form. Because others can see this form, Abu introduces herself as his sister, and Wuling explains to Chisaki that she is his cousin 83 84 85.
