Xiao Han

Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Xiao Han is a transmigrator who arrived in his current world eighteen years before the awakening ceremony. At Beihai No. 1 High School, he ranked first in theoretical knowledge and reached the Ninth Level of the Martial Disciple Realm before awakening a Martial Soul 1.

His parents were ordinary workers with F-rank Martial Souls, and the family was not well-off. After gaining admission to Imperial Capital Academy and a ten-million scholarship, he transferred five million to them. Following his wilderness expedition, he gave them a bank card containing one hundred million Federation credits and cultivation resources 5 23.

After his apparent sacrifice to save the Imperial Capital, the public mourned him and the academy erected a white jade monument. He survived, recovering through the World Tree Heart Fragment and the mutation of his Twin Martial Soul 132 133 134.

Appearance

Xiao Han is described as handsome and young-looking 2 6.

• After the Shadow Dominator evolution, his damaged clothes exposed a lean, well-defined body covered in fine scars 21.
• During the Primordial Demon Finger’s attempt to control him, his eyes became ink-black, hollow, and cold 155.

Personality

Xiao Han often remains outwardly calm when mocked or challenged. He accepted Bai Xue’er’s breakup without protest and ignored hostile comments when he entered Zero Class 2 33.

He values strength enough to endure embarrassment or take severe risks for it. He publicly kowtowed before a battered manual for a system reward, and chose to fight the Black-Scaled Mad Ape rather than flee at the cost of his cultivation 11 16. He can also be calculating: when Lin Qingxia questioned his rapid improvement, he invented a senior expert to conceal the system 32.

His willingness to take risks extends to protecting others. He returned to the besieged academy despite a safer alternative and ultimately joined Lin Qingxia and Su Linglong in sacrificing himself for the universe’s freedom and balance 182 239.

Story Role and Major Arcs

Awakening and Certification

At the awakening ceremony, Xiao Han’s twin F-rank Martial Souls drew ridicule. The God-Level Choice System then evolved them into the Chaos Green Lotus and Eternal Night Monarch; when retested, their power shattered the awakening crystal 2 3.

He accepted Lin Qingxia’s offer to join Imperial Capital Academy, cultivated to the Fourth Level of the Warrior Realm, and passed Martial Artist certification by defeating an Iron-Armored Savage Bull 4 5 6 7 8.

Wilderness and the Hidden Valley

After acquiring two techniques from the system, Xiao Han trained in wilderness area No. 1 and killed three robbers who ambushed him 11 13 14. He followed a pulse from his Eternal Night Monarch into a hidden valley, where he encountered a black lotus and the Black-Scaled Mad Ape 15.

Unable to penetrate the ape’s scales, he attacked its eye and brought it down. He later evolved his Eternal Night Monarch, refined the lotus’s source energy, and reached the Sixth Level of the Warrior Realm. He left the valley without taking the Shadow Demon Lotus itself 17 18 21 22 23.

Imperial Capital Academy

Initially assigned to Class Seven, Xiao Han scored full marks on its theory test and defeated Lei Ming with one punch. He then defeated Class Three’s Chen Feng, a First-Level Martial Master, before accepting Lin Qingxia’s offer to join Zero Class 25 26 27 31 32 33.

During a wolf-hunting mission, he returned to help Xia Yubing’s surrounded team. Instructor Qin Zhen awarded the team an excellent grade and publicly praised him 35 36.

Trial Secret Realm

Xiao Han chose to pursue the Peak Hunter achievement, which required him to kill a peak Ninth-Level Martial Master exotic beast in exchange for a Shadow Demon Lotus clue and movement-technique insights. He prepared by buying pills and refining his skills in Zero Class’s gravity room 37.

In the Black Mist Forest, he strengthened his Martial Soul by absorbing energy from exotic beasts, then left the group after sensing a familiar space-and-shadow fluctuation 39. At a ruin, he fought a Martial Grandmaster Realm guardian, destroyed a pillar’s core rune to weaken it, and struck its cracked chest crystal with a fused fist attack 42 49 50.

He refined the Shadow Vortex’s inheritance energy and reached the Third Level of the Martial Master Realm. After returning, he concealed the extent of his gains, telling Qin Zhen that he had cultivated in an energy-rich area and reached the peak Ninth Level of the Warrior Realm. Luo Bing subsequently challenged him 52 53 57.

Academy Grand Competition

After defeating Luo Bing, Xiao Han moved into a grade-A core courtyard and accepted a sparring challenge from Shi Lei 64 70. In the Grand Competition, he advanced undefeated through the preliminaries and defeated Li Yan without summoning a Martial Soul. He later overcame the defensively renowned Shi Potian to reach the semifinals 72 74 78.

Using temporary system-awarded power, Xiao Han defeated Long Aotian in two punches but collapsed from exhaustion afterward. Lin Qingxia warned him that his victory had attracted dangerous attention 81 82 84.

In the final, he fought Ye Wuchen, burned thirty percent of his life essence, and attacked alongside his Shadow Avatar to win. The academy awarded him the championship badge and cultivation resources 87.

Chaos Pool and Shadow Inheritance

Xiao Han used his championship reward to cultivate in the Chaos Pool, reaching the peak of the Fourth Level of the Martial Master Realm and strengthening both Martial Souls 90. On a later expedition, he fought through a spatially unstable region to an ancient altar, defeated its three exotic-beast guardians, and received further Shadow Void Scripture chapters and memories associated with the Eternal Night King. He reached the Fifth Level of the Martial Master Realm afterward 99 100.

Red Ridge and Blood Fiend Hall

Xiao Han joined Zhang Dali’s team for the Red Ridge Mountain Range mission and led its members beyond the academy’s planned route. At a canyon, he discovered a lizard pack and hidden observers, then spread his Eternal Night King Domain Prototype across the valley 106 108.

He later learned that Blood Fiend Hall was hunting both him and a primordial shadow source crystal. After eliminating a patrol and searching its leader’s memories, he infiltrated a guarded valley but was detected and surrounded 117.

When Blood Fiend Hall seized parts of Imperial Capital Academy, Xiao Han learned that Lin Qingxia was imprisoned beneath the Dragon-Locking Well. He infiltrated the academy to confront her captors 126. During the ensuing crisis, he burned his life and soul to attack formation nodes and chose to channel his remaining heroic soul wills and soul origin into his Twin Martial Soul. Believed dead, he was mourned across the Dragon Nation 132 133.

Rebirth and the Primordial Shadow Heart

Xiao Han survived through the World Tree Heart Fragment, which restored his body and soul as his Twin Martial Soul mutated. His cultivation rose to the early Eighth Level of the Martial Master Realm 134.

At Falling Star Lake, he slew three Netherworld Water Pythons, found the Star Iron Mother, and learned from an ancient stele of a way to temporarily suppress demonic corruption and a route toward the Heaven-Piercing Tower. His curse seal erupted as he claimed the material 142. He later resisted the Primordial Demon Finger’s attempt to control him with the help of the mutated Chaos Nether Lotus 155.

Xiao Han eventually reached the Primordial Shadow Heart, an origin fragment of the Eternal Night Emperor. When the Emperor’s remnant will attempted to seize his body and soul, Xiao Han chose to devour it and fought for control of the inheritance. His cultivation rose to the peak First Level of the Martial Grandmaster Realm during the struggle 177 178.

Divine Court and the World’s Collapse

The Dark Abyss Dragon King rescued Xiao Han and Su Linglong from Divine Court knights. Despite the danger posed by his Divine Punishment Mark, Xiao Han chose to return to the academy when he learned it was under attack 182.

Later, Xiao Han and Iron Crow entered a wrecked ark after he used a Demon-Stained Logic Bomb to turn the Star-Devouring Worm against the Seventh Adjudicator. The ark’s navigator, Qiyuan, offered to remove tracking coordinates from Xiao Han’s True Demon Imprint, but the True Demon threatened to detonate it if he accepted 195.

After the world’s collapse, Xiao Han and Mei’er preserved Su Linglong’s scattered soul in a Soul-Weaving Cocoon. He boarded the Netherworld River ferryman’s boat toward the Asura Blood Sea and recounted the world’s final events as payment, though a shadowy passenger disputed and altered his account 207.

Final Conflict and Genesis Era

Xiao Han absorbed the Asura Progenitor’s Heart into his right arm despite Order’s attempt to exile it, prompting Order to identify him as a world-ending threat 217. At the Gods’ Graveyard, he freed the Titan Remnant Soul and fired the Paradox Fortress’s main cannon at the First Wound to interrupt the Ferryman’s ritual. Amid the resulting destruction, Su Linglong was reborn as a Martial Venerable 229.

Xiao Han, Lin Qingxia, and Su Linglong defeated the Ferryman and chose to evolve the universe, beginning the Genesis Era. When the Otherworldly True Demon and the Divine Court’s Pseudo-God threatened the newborn world, Xiao Han accepted the Eternal Night Clan’s power and became the Eternal Night Paradox Lord. The three combined chaos and order into a cosmic Taiji Diagram, sacrificing their bodies and souls to establish a lasting balance and freedom 239.
