Background / History

Little Black first appears in Xu Jie's dormitory as an unidentified small black snake. Xu Jie initially treats it as a potential source of usable lifespan and repeatedly attempts to kill it, including striking it with a cleaver, punching it, squeezing it, and throwing it away. None of these methods leaves even a mark, and it eventually cries in fear rather than retaliating 28.

After biting Xu Jie and absorbing his blood, Little Black forms a vast bloody magic array that becomes a symbiotic contract between them. It communicates with Xu Jie through a timid young girl's voice in his mind, admits it does not know its own name or species, and is named “Little Black” by Xu Jie 29.

The system later identifies Little Black as a severely injured and regressed God-level demon, likely descended from the Nine Heavens Underworld Divine Dragon. Its injuries occurred before birth, causing it to lose its inherited memories and leaving its foundation unstable. Xu Jie concludes that it is the true treasure left by his father and accepts it as his companion 30.

During the beast-tide conflict, Little Black remains close to Xu Jie, feeding on his blood and providing scaled defense when he faces stronger opponents, including Zhao Du 36 48.

Appearance

Little Black is a tiny black snake whose harmless, infant-like appearance contrasts with its extraordinary durability and God-level origin.

• Small enough to lie in Xu Jie's palm, cling to his finger, or be carried in his pocket 28 31
• Has large, anime-like eyes that frequently show confusion, fear, or tears 28 29
• Possesses black scales that cannot be damaged by ordinary force 28
• Can dissolve into Xu Jie's body during their symbiotic fusion 29

Personality

Little Black behaves like a frightened and dependent newborn. It is highly emotional for a demon, cries easily, speaks timidly, and repeatedly apologizes when it believes it has upset Xu Jie 29.

It is hungry for blood and becomes affectionate when fed or touched by Xu Jie. Despite its immaturity and lack of memories, it can sense his emotional state; when Xu Jie is consumed by anger over his parents, it avoids provoking him and quietly licks his bloodied fingers 30 34.

Abilities & Skills

Symbiotic Contract

Little Black formed a blood-based symbiotic contract with Xu Jie after biting his hand.

• Communicates directly with Xu Jie through telepathy, using the voice of a timid young girl 29
• Can merge into Xu Jie's body and later emerge in an exhausted state 29
• Shares one percent of its lifespan with Xu Jie, granting him an additional 1,000 years that cannot be spent through the Life-Sacrifice System 29
• Provides Xu Jie with a profound sense of closeness and functions as his hidden trump card 29

Fusion Enhancement

When merged with Xu Jie, Little Black transforms his body and greatly improves his physical combat ability.

• Covers Xu Jie's body in dense black scales 29
• Changes Xu Jie's eyes into vertical pupils during fusion 29
• Multiplies Xu Jie's physical strength and combat power 29
• Provides armor strong enough for Xu Jie to contend with opponents above his realm 46 48
• The protection is not absolute: Zhao Du's attack still breaks Xu Jie's shoulder through the scaled armor 48

Extreme Durability

Little Black's own body is extraordinarily resilient despite its regressed state.

• A cleaver shatters upon striking its scales without leaving a scratch 28
• Xu Jie cannot harm it through punching, crushing, choking, or throwing it away 28
• Its defensive qualities are inherited by Xu Jie during fusion 29 48

God-Level Bloodline

Little Black possesses a regressed but potentially immense demonic lineage.

• The system classifies it as a God-level demon 29
• Its bloodline closely resembles that of the Nine Heavens Underworld Divine Dragon 30
• It suffered severe injuries before birth, lost its inheritance, and has unstable foundations 30
• Its complete form has the potential to greatly increase Xu Jie's combat power if properly nurtured 30

Limitations

• It is dependent on Xu Jie's blood for nourishment 29 36
• Fusion leaves it visibly exhausted after it exits Xu Jie's body 29
• Its shared lifespan cannot be converted into usable lifespan for Xu Jie's martial cultivation 29

Relationships

• Xu Jie — Symbiotic partner, caretaker, and the person who named it. Xu Jie ultimately accepts Little Black as the final inheritance left by his father 29 30 45.
• Xu Jie's father — Little Black is believed to be the true treasure he left for Xu Jie, though how he acquired its egg remains unknown 30.

Trivia

• It was less than three days old when the system analyzed it 30.
• Xu Jie initially viewed Little Black only as potential usable lifespan before learning of its contract and lineage 28 29.
