Background / History

Zhao Xin entered Super Seminary alongside the future members of the Xiong Bing Lian. He quickly joined Wei Zitong’s group for tactical training, eager to participate rather than be left out. 2

His Super Gene is modeled after Zhao Zilong and grants the Spear of the Virtuous Star. Zhao Xin initially mistook a simulated Zhao Zilong for his literal ancestor and knelt to request instruction before Lena corrected him. 24

Jace’s targeted training exposed Zhao Xin’s exceptional physical potential. Carrying 500 jin, he completed a 700-kilometer run within five hours, earning the nickname “Lightning Zhao”; Wei Zitong believed this was still far below the supersonic potential of Zhao Xin’s gene model. 12

Appearance

Zhao Xin was initially depicted with long, flowing hair, which he later wore in a long ponytail during combat. Qilin subsequently noted that he used to have long hair, indicating that his hairstyle changed at some point. 8 51 284

• Usually carries or summons a long spear. 9 51
• Wears Dark Alloy Armor during Super Seminary operations. 28
• His body becomes surrounded by visible lightning when he activates the Spear of the Virtuous Star. 24 32

Personality

Zhao Xin is loud, boastful, and fond of joking with his teammates. He often talks himself up as “Brother Xin,” but his bravado can collapse when faced with opponents or situations he genuinely fears. 8 21 51

Despite this, he is not cowardly when it matters. He repeatedly charges opponents stronger than himself, including Zhao Zilong, Dragon Vulture, and an Asura, even when he understands the danger. 24 52 160

He is impulsive in combat and initially struggles to make his reactions match his speed. After his error contributes to Lena’s defeat in Team Combat, he willingly undergoes Wei Zitong’s intensive control training until his error rate falls below 1%. 66

Zhao Xin is also unusually serious about commitment beneath his flirtatious behavior. Zhixin’s confession initially makes him suspicious and insecure because he sees Angels as far above himself; he later accepts her devotion and establishes a lifelong partnership with her. 176 183 205

Abilities & Skills

Spear of the Virtuous Star

Zhao Xin’s Super Gene draws power from light, electricity, thunder, and lightning. Its defining traits are extreme acceleration, lightning-charged spear strikes, and close-range breakthrough power. 24 182

• Can surround himself and his spear with Lightning Energy. 24 34
• Reached speeds fast enough that most observers could perceive only lightning streaks during his duel with Zhao Zilong. 24 32
• His lightning can numb opponents and weapons on contact. 24 51
• Pierced Zhao Zilong’s heart in their decisive clash. 32
• His genetic sequence was initially incomplete, limiting his ability to fully use the model’s power. 24

Extreme-Speed Mobility

Zhao Xin specializes in rapid movement, infiltration, interception, and pursuit.

• Can move so quickly that he appears nearly invisible, allowing him to evade manually aimed turrets and disrupt enemy formations. 47 31
• Served as a mobile force against scattered demons and as a scout for refugee groups. 47 178
• Used his speed to locate and eliminate snipers carrying Godslayer No. 1 rounds. 34
• Successfully tracked combat evidence and found Wei Zitong and Ge Xiaolun after deducing that another Xiong Bing Lian member had fought nearby. 178
• High speed does not protect him from light-speed laser fire, and panic can make him run predictably in a straight line. 31 120

Spear Combat

Zhao Xin uses a summoned spear for aggressive, high-speed melee combat.

• Can perform lightning-charged thrusts capable of severing a Shura’s weapon-bearing arms and piercing its heart. 34

• Lena — Fellow Super Soldier and Zhao Xin’s early crush. After defeating Zhao Zilong, he admits that he knows Lena likes Wei Zitong and asks Wei Zitong to treat her well. 32
