Background

Lu Fa is one of four special doppelgangers created by Nan Fusheng. Nan Fusheng expended considerable effort creating him, and Lu Fa possesses the Platinum Behemoth Martial Soul. 169

He was born emotionally detached. Of Nan Fusheng's doppelgangers, he is the most diligent, dividing his attention between Soul Power cultivation and secondary professions. 169 218

Lu Fa developed as a blacksmith through his own work rather than inherited insights from Nan Fusheng. His forged metals naturally carry the Platinum Behemoth's aura, granting them unusual spirituality and effects; Battle Armor components he forged for Fors carried enough Behemoth hostility for Tang Wulin's group to sense it. 218

He is described as a descendant of martyrs and of commoner origin. 304

Appearance

Lu Fa is a handsome youth with rare platinum-colored short hair and matching platinum pupils. His appearance is conspicuous enough that he uses a helmet in public after becoming widely known. 169 293

• Wears the white uniform of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy. 169
• Has platinum-blonde hair and platinum eyes. 169
• Uses a helmet to conceal his identity and distinctive hair. 293
• Emits platinum light when using his bloodline power. 757

Personality

Lu Fa is emotionally detached by nature and generally calm in confrontations. He remains unruffled against stronger-looking opponents, frequently allowing them a chance to concede before decisively ending a battle. 169 326 333

He is highly diligent and focused on improvement, balancing cultivation, forging, and production work. Despite attention from major factions, he initially refuses to join any faction and prefers to continue his studies and forge his own path. 218 264

His loyalty to his teachers is pronounced. After learning of the conflict between Kong Xuan and Zhen Hua, he challenged the Blacksmith Association's blacksmiths on Kong Xuan's behalf. 263

Story Role / Major Arcs

Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy

Lu Fa entered New Student Class One and defeated Long Chen during the Class Monitor selection match without activating his Martial Soul. His Behemoth aura suppressed Long Chen's Holy Dragon of Light bloodline, and Lu Fa ended the fight with a single Behemoth Claw strike. 170

He later killed the six-ring Evil Soul Master Plague Messenger in one exchange, absorbing the opponent's Plague Poison to protect Mo Wu and Mo Lan. The incident revealed him publicly as a teenage Battle Armor Master from the academy. 228 229

Saint Craftsman Recognition

At the Heaven Dou City Blacksmith Association, Lu Fa demonstrated Half-Step Soul Refinement and attempted full Soul Forging. Zhen Hua recognized his potential and predicted that he could become a Saint Craftsman. 262

Lu Fa became the youngest Saint Craftsman in history by successfully performing Soul Refinement on Heavy Silver at fourteen. Zhen Hua then announced him as his disciple to deter the War God Temple, Spirit Pagoda, and other factions from recruiting him. 283

Star Luo Tournament

As captain of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy's World-Shaking Seven Stars, Lu Fa defeated Hua Lantang of Monster Academy with Stepping Heaven Nine Steps. 325 326

He defeated Dai Yun'er after identifying her Original Body and later overwhelmed Dai Yueyan without using his Martial Soul or Battle Armor. Enci intervened to prevent Dai Yueyan from receiving severe injuries. 333 342

His tournament victories, his defeat of seven One-word Battle Armor Masters, and his Saint Craftsman status led to his recognition as the Douluo Continent's number one genius. 327 355

God Craftsman Revelation

Lu Fa achieved Heaven Forging and created the sentient Big White Goose, becoming the youngest God Craftsman. The creature's presence made Battle Armors manifest and tremble, validating the quality of Lu Fa's Heaven-Forged metal. 419 420

Because Heaven Forging placed demands on his body, Ao Hongchen publicly forbade him from performing it again until he reached the Titled Douluo Realm. 420

Divine Artifact and War God Temple

Lu Fa later forged a Divine Artifact through the Nine-colored Thunder Tribulation, completing his Innate Secret Method and advancing to Level 95 Super Douluo. 724

At the War God Temple, he defeated Ninth War God Jiang Zhanheng without using Battle Armor or manifesting his Martial Soul, taking a Super Douluo's attack directly with only his bloodline defense. 757
