Background / History

Zhao Xuan was born in Sacred Soul Village to Zhao Shi, a former Martial Master whose Martial Soul was a Hoe, and Mu Qin, whose Martial Soul was a Wok Spatula. Both parents became farmers after their weak Martial Souls prevented them from pursuing the path of a Soul Master. Zhao Xuan values the complete family he found in this life and later ensures his parents are settled safely before focusing on confronting Spirit Hall. 2 112 238

Even before awakening his Martial Soul, Zhao Xuan possessed abnormal physical strength. Tang San recalls him accidentally punching through a tree as thick as a bowl, while Zhao Xuan himself is confused by his own body. His physique originates from his soul's baptism by chaos, which gave it characteristics of a Chaos Demon God and influenced his physical body. 2

He grew up alongside Tang San and entered Nuoding Academy with him. At Shrek Academy, he became known for his overwhelming strength, unconventional Spirit Skills, and habit of seeking stronger opponents. 7 19

Zhao Xuan later became increasingly involved in conflicts against Spirit Hall. His power and actions earned him the title Thunder Douluo, while his attacks on Spirit Hall and hostile sects made him feared throughout the continent. 358 382 403

Despite his casual, sometimes lazy demeanor, he is observant and strategic in battle. He conceals his true cultivation, studies opponents' abilities, recognizes his own mistakes, and continually searches for ways to improve his control over Soul Power and Spiritual Sense. 55 57 406
