Appearance

Su Heng is a tall, muscular young man whose body changed drastically after his first template's advancement. His formerly sickly pallor gives way to healthy rosy-white skin, and he develops a strong, athletic build. 15

• Initially recorded at 1.82 meters; later described as approximately 1.85 meters tall. 15 63
• Has defined muscles, sharp facial features, and medium-length black hair. 15 178 245
• In ordinary surroundings, his stature and broad shoulders make him conspicuous even when dressed plainly. 63 182
• In Template Fusion, he can expand to roughly 2.5–3 meters, with golden eyes, enlarged muscles, and serpent scales. 124 130
• His more extreme fusion forms feature gray skin, black stripes, waist-length hair, and dark-red willow-like tentacles emerging from enlarged pores. 67

Personality

Su Heng is steady, practical, and intensely focused on becoming stronger. He recognizes that his templates are a decisive advantage, but also understands that his own body, martial training, and willpower determine how much of that power he can safely wield. 45 124 179

He is capable of severe ruthlessness against enemies. He kills gang members, cultists, and hostile supernatural beings without hesitation when he judges them to be threats, and he routinely conceals his involvement through deception or intimidation. 16 31 32 151

Despite this, Su Heng is protective of civilians and people he considers deserving of help. He saves Ailin, shields frightened students in the abandoned hospital, protects Xia Lin from Floating Light, and intervenes when cultists attack Chang Geng's refugee camp. 53 63 130 184 His aid is not always selfless—he deliberately preserves bargaining leverage when helping others—but he consistently acts against cruelty toward the vulnerable. 56 183 184

Abilities & Skills

Template Fusion

Su Heng can fuse with the power of his templates, converting their traits into combat strength while retaining his human consciousness. His fused state amplifies his size, strength, speed, resilience, senses, and access to template abilities. 16 67 124

• His Boa/Gamia-based fusion produces golden eyes, serpent scales, immense muscle growth, and overwhelming physical force. 32 130
• He can catch high-energy attacks in his hands and crush or disperse them through raw physical strength. 130
• His fusion capacity grows alongside his own Life Level; stronger defenses allow him to maintain fusion longer. 179
• His early body could not withstand the full burden of Gamia's power, leaving him exhausted and physically torn after use. 95 124
• He can combine multiple templates; his three-template fusion defeats the Wheel of Reincarnation Dharma King and his wood-dragon form. 185
• In Overload Mode, template phantoms merge into his body, granting a dramatic increase in overall power at the cost of severe bodily strain and pain. 416

Martial Arts Cultivation

Su Heng supplements Template Fusion with extraordinary martial arts, allowing him to improve even outside fusion and to better channel template-derived power. 124 149

• Dragon Scale Iron Cloth Shirt — An external skill taught by Xia Lin that conditions the body through medicinal powder, scalding water, impact training, breathing methods, and physical endurance. 125 127
• Golden Joy Five Elements Cultivation — A Golden Age secret technique consisting of Golden Joy internal cultivation and Five Elements Fist techniques. 45
• The cultivation method strengthens his muscles through repeated strikes to muscle nodes, increasing explosive strength and damage resistance. 149
• His martial training contributes to the awakening of the Dragon Scale talent and supports his advancement into the Extraordinary Domain. 179
• Even without Template Fusion, he can overpower trained martial artists and cripple Awakened enemies with his bare hands. 125 151

Defensive Talents

Su Heng's innate talents are heavily focused on endurance, defense, and recovery. 179 284

• Iron Skin — Slightly increases defense. 179
• Dragon Scale — Moderately increases defense; likely connected to his Dragon Scale Iron Cloth Shirt cultivation. 179
• Indestructible — Greatly improves vitality, defense, and self-healing; at Life Level 3, it can regenerate limbs if Su Heng remains conscious and has enough energy. 179 284
• Mingwang — A Legendary talent that greatly increases defense and vitality. Its active Immovable Mingwang Dharma Form provides extreme defense but prevents movement. 284
• Radiance — Strengthens Su Heng's own body rather than forming weapons; it substantially improves durability, resilience, and recovery. 412

Willow Tree Support

Through his Willow Tree template, Su Heng can use life-oriented abilities for healing and enhancement. 53 56

• Life Enlightenment can affect Awakened creatures after the Willow Tree reaches the Extraordinary realm. 53
• He uses Life Enlightenment to heal Ailin and push her partway into the Extraordinary Life Domain. 53 56
• The Willow Tree's Healing Aura repairs damage caused by Su Heng's overloaded fusion state and brutal martial-arts training. 95 149
• Willow branches can restrain or strike enemies and can be used to create lethal explosive attacks. 53 184

Vector Operation and Mobility

Su Heng inherits advanced abilities from his templates in later stages of fusion. 237 413

• Vector Operation / Vector Manipulation creates a distorted field with devastating crushing force; Su Heng restrains its output within cities to avoid catastrophic collateral damage. 413
• He combines vector manipulation with Aberrant Fusion Radiance to defeat the Crimson Man with a single punch. 415
• The Fourth Template's second-stage Void Psionic Energy grants him spatial-jump capability, giving him a reliable means of escape. 237

Story Role / Major Arcs

Early Template Awakening and Qingcheng Underworld

After surviving a difficult Boa advancement, Su Heng recovers from his former frailty and begins testing Template Fusion in Qingcheng. He kills two men attempting to silence him after witnessing them dispose of a body, obtains True Relics, and starts recognizing their value as a source of True Points. 15 16 17

He later deceives Qing Long about a masked attacker before returning in disguise to destroy Qing Long's organization. Su Heng kills Qing Long, defeats the Awakened Li Hu, and steals the gang's cache of True Relics. 31 32 33

Protector at the Abandoned Hospital

Su Heng encounters Wu Di, Bai Anran, Wang Dong, and Chang Zilin during their attempt to awaken supernatural abilities in an abandoned hospital. He leads them through the building, defeats monsters and puppets, rescues Bai Anran, and kills the Slit-Mouthed Woman. 63 64 65 66 67

Dragon Scale Martial Arts Hall

Seeking a way to better use Gamia's power, Su Heng approaches the Dragon Scale Martial Arts Hall. He easily defeats Long Jiuzhou, then agrees to learn and teach the hall's inherited techniques in exchange for a share of its profits and Xia Lin's assistance. 124 125

Under Xia Lin's instruction, he undergoes punishing external-skill training and medicinal-diet cultivation. His strength rises rapidly, allowing him to reopen the hall, accept disciples, and establish a lasting role in Qingcheng's martial community. 127 128 149 150

Special Affairs Department and Cultist Suppression

After defeating cultist-connected enemies at the martial arts hall, Su Heng is recruited by Qi Xiu into the Special Affairs Department. He accepts primarily for access to True Relics, contribution rewards, and departmental resources. 151 152

While travelling through the wilderness, Su Heng protects Chang Geng's camp from cultists and then destroys much of the Wheel of Reincarnation cult's leadership. He uses three-template fusion to defeat the Wheel of Reincarnation Dharma King. 183 184 185

Gate of Ruins and Life Level 3

Su Heng earns substantial contribution points by killing Third Life Level cultist leaders, then pursues entry to the Special Affairs Department's core secret realm to obtain the True Points needed for another template. 237

Inside the Gate of Ruins, he unlocks his Fifth Template and meets Youdu Black Phoenix in person. After receiving her phoenix carving, he successfully advances to Life Level 3. 283 284

Radiance and the Shattered Eye Conflict

As the Shattered Eye's Demon Seeds are eliminated, Su Heng senses a larger threat approaching and cultivates beneath the Red Moon. His deep fusion state lets him absorb radiation and awaken radiance, entering the Fourth Life Level. 412

He confronts Black Lord and other Great Demons, using vector manipulation, radiance, and multi-template fusion to overcome enemies whose strength approaches the Forbidden Zone level. 413 415 416
