Background / History
Xu Yue serves as the homeroom teacher of Class 7. His professional evaluations are tied to his students’ cultivation results, giving him a personal stake in identifying and nurturing promising martial artists. He initially considered Jiang Feng and Lin Shuyao Class 7’s most promising prospects, while viewing Chu Kuang’s insistence on perfecting basic techniques as a potentially career-limiting mistake. 1
Chu Kuang’s sudden perfection of Basic External Martial Arts and rapid progress in the Iron Armor Technique changed Xu Yue’s assessment. He began investing directly in Chu’s development: arranging his tutoring work, lending him money for cultivation resources, recommending martial arts, and assisting with scholarship applications. 4 5 6 14 20
During the school’s Dark Domain special training, Xu Yue guided the students, supplied temporary Battle Armor and weapons, and singled out Chu Kuang, Jiang Feng, and Lin Shuyao as Class 7’s strongest candidates for the grade’s top 100. Chu’s performance ultimately earned Xu Yue’s praise and prompted him to apply for a first-class scholarship on his behalf. 19 20 26 41
After Chu Kuang’s return from Gushen Star, Xu Yue examined the damaged equipment from the expedition and explained the hierarchy of Martial Dao True Bodies, suspecting that Chu’s abnormal strength and defense might stem from an Innate Battle Physique. 54
