Background / History

Lin Zhen is a reborn Martial Artist whose memories of his previous life reveal that he possesses the rare potential to become a Mind Power Master. Unlike his prior life—when his Mental Power awakened late and never produced a complete transformation—he deliberately develops it from the beginning, using it to enhance his Neural Reaction, perception, and combat ability. 3 4

He first assumes the role of “Master” after subduing Enbide, an Imperial knight and Satellite Stage Mind Power Master. Lin Zhen defeats Enbide through repeated Mental Impacts, forcibly applies Soul Lock, and receives his submission. 378 He later purchases and reorganizes groups of slaves and former pirates, promising that those who reach the Planet Stage can become knights under him. 389

His authority expands alongside his cultivation. He acquires powerful equipment, commands Chris—an awakened Intelligent Life—and develops clones, battle puppets, and subordinate forces. 485 599 785 In later eras, he becomes a target of a universe-wide Supreme Mission, yet continues strengthening himself through original combat skills, prolonged seclusion, and repeated confrontations with Dominators. 1377 1386 1420

Appearance

Lin Zhen’s appearance changes substantially when he activates his Black Hole Beast-derived transformations.

• In human form, he has long black hair and a heavily muscled build. 830
• His Armorization covers him in black or dark-gold scales and can enlarge him to nearly three meters in height. 440 1100

• In mature Black Hole Beast form, he exceeds fifty meters in length and manifests a Black Hole above his head. 848
• His Five Elements avatar can transform into a Five-Colored Kirin. 785

Personality

Lin Zhen is intensely pragmatic and long-term focused. He stabilizes his cultivation rather than rushing into dangerous breakthroughs, studies unfamiliar environments before entering them, and treats wealth and equipment as resources for future survival rather than status symbols. 286

As a master, he is demanding but not needlessly cruel. He uses Soul Lock and slavery-derived authority to secure obedience, yet promises advancement to capable subordinates and agrees to free Zi Qianxia once she reaches the Black Hole Late Stage. 389 427 He is merciless toward persistent enemies, but may spare defeated opponents when they can be turned into useful assets or informants. 377 1150
