Background

Du Cheng is a transmigrated orphan who arrives at Notting Academy with fourth-grade innate soul power and a Carrot Martial Soul. After meeting Xiao Wu, he activates the Cao Cao System, also called the Goddess Bond System, receiving lottery chances that grant him the God-level Azure Dragon Martial Soul, Gold Soul Coins, and the Eighteen Subduing Strikes 1.

He establishes himself as the head of Notting Academy’s Seventh Dormitory by defeating Tang San in a spar. Wang Sheng and the other residents submit to him and take responsibility for his and Xiao Wu’s chores 3.

Du Cheng later travels with Xiao Wu to Douluo Forest, where he saves Zhu Zhuqing from a Four-Hundred-Year Three-Tailed Cat 14 16. His growing strength, system rewards, and relationships steadily expand his influence from Notting Academy to Shrek and Blue Tyrant Academy.

At the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, Du Cheng consumes two Immortal Herbs and enters the well to cultivate. He subsequently refines the well with the one-use semi-divine artifact Heaven and Earth Furnace, obtains the Ice Fire Paradise Pill, evolves his Dragon Martial Soul, and gains a God-given Soul Ring 127 130.

Personality

Du Cheng is confident, calculating, and highly attentive to power dynamics. He frequently turns opponents’ arrogance, wagers, or public pressure against them, whether by reframing Master’s attempt to manipulate public opinion or by making challengers stake their service on a duel 6 161.

He is protective of the people close to him, particularly Xiao Wu, and consistently rejects attempts to treat them as prizes or tools in other people’s schemes 2 10 161. At the same time, he can be provocative and enjoys making rivals uncomfortable, especially Tang San, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo 20 125.

Despite his mischievous behavior, Du Cheng is pragmatic about talent and loyalty. He accepts unlikely subordinates—including Tian Ya, Bu Le, and E Kao—because he sees strategic value in their loyalty 104.
