Background & History

Xiao Zhen was reborn from Earth as Xiao Lin’s second son in the Xiao Clan. His father gave him the same name he had borne in his previous life and hoped he would “shake the world.” By age twelve, Xiao Zhen had recognized his new home as the Dou Qi Continent of Battle Through the Heavens, though the powerful imperial-capital Xiao Clan differed greatly from the clan he remembered from the original story. 1 2

After becoming a Dou Zhe, he awakened the Adventurer System, which issues missions across different worlds to mold him into the strongest adventurer. His Lightning, Fire, and Wood affinities—along with unusually strong Soul Power—made him a viable alchemy prodigy. Fa Ma, president of the Alchemist Guild, accepted him as a disciple. 3 4 6

As his reputation grew, powerful families sought marriage alliances with him. Xiao Zhen rejected his father’s attempts to arrange numerous engagements, preferring to focus on cultivation and alchemy. 8

• Long hair, worn in the style common to the Dou Qi Continent. 53
• Handsome facial features and a distinctly masculine aura. 291

Personality

Xiao Zhen is pragmatic and calculating. He gathers intelligence on opponents before acting, considers the political consequences of his choices, and seeks ways to strengthen the Xiao Clan rather than keeping every gain for himself. 70 72 88

He is deeply protective of his family, repeatedly taking risks to safeguard relatives and support the younger generation. He also keeps promises once made, even when others attempt to manipulate him into acting. 89 173 325

His confidence can become arrogance or teasing cruelty. He readily tests himself against stronger opponents, flaunts his superior alchemy before rivals, and has shown an intimidating, manipulative side when dealing with enemies. 313 395 552
