Background / History

Zhou Xuefeng was reincarnated into the Douluo world after dying in his previous life. He initially welcomed transmigration as an escape from a hopeless existence, but learned at age three that he had been born as the lowest-class slave-servant of the Zhu Family, the Netherworld Duke’s household in the Star Luo Empire. He spent his early years praying to numerous deities for a Martial Soul strong enough to free him from that status. 1

His awakening produced only ordinary Blue Silver Grass, leaving him devastated. His outlook changed after meeting the other four transmigrated counterparts in their shared space: their collective knowledge, cultivation methods, and future coordination gave him a route to change his fate. He adopted the Essence of Qi Method and began planning revenge against the Zhu Family. 1 2

After escaping the Duke’s Mansion, Zhou survived outside Moon Sea City, building a cabin in the wilderness and cultivating alone. He used martial souls including the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Golden Feather Luan Bird for labor, fire, and self-defense, while establishing a simple tablet to the Azure Emperor as a focus for his isolated cultivation. 2 4

He later pursued experimental Spirit Ring configurations for Blue Silver Grass, deliberately seeking high-age rings and Spirit Beasts whose traits could develop its vitality, resilience, restoration, and elemental potential. His experiments steadily transformed the supposedly weak plant Martial Soul into the basis of his combat strength, puppetry, healing, domains, and field control. 12 26 67

Following his revenge against the Zhu Family, Zhou took Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuyu, and Zhu Zhuqing from the Star Luo Empire. He trained and enhanced the sisters while incorporating them into his larger political plans against Star Luo. 35 46 64 73

Personality

Zhou is calculating, patient, and highly adaptive. Even as a child, his refined speech and calm demeanor led outsiders to suspect that he came from either nobility or a blood feud. He consistently evaluates risk before acting, conceals his rapid growth behind false identities, and treats information as a resource to be collected and exploited. 3 12 80

His pursuit of strength is intensely practical. He uses Spirit Beasts, Spirit Bones, medicinal materials, bloodlines, poisons, puppets, and political connections as parts of larger experiments. He is willing to employ staged attacks, hypnosis, coercion, and disposable proxies when he considers them useful to his objectives. 60 79 88 92 160

Despite this ruthlessness, he is disciplined about long-term preparation. He cultivates daily, maintains his worship of the Azure Emperor, studies military formations and environmental restoration, and repeatedly invests resources into the advancement of his counterparts and the Zhu sisters. 143 157

Abilities & Skills

Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul

Zhou’s primary developed Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. He compensates for its ordinary origin through unusual Spirit Ring choices, immense control, plant-energy absorption, and domain development.

• Growth — Rapidly grows Blue Silver Grass and allows it to enter a state resembling an autonomous clone; the state can last about one and a half hours and doubles his cultivation speed. 12 19
• Split Weaving / Blue Silver Fine Thread — Separates Blue Silver Grass into highly controlled threads for binding, weaving, construction, and restraint. 19 22
• Soul Power drain — His bindings can sap an opponent’s Soul Power and stamina while immobilizing them. He subdued a level 37 Spirit Elder in under twenty seconds. 23
• Entanglement — Acquired from the Azure Water Flood Dragon; adds water-element absorption and self-restoration to his Blue Silver Grass. 26
• Plant-energy devouring — Absorbs energy and nutrients from plant-type Spirit Beasts to accelerate his own advancement. 24
• Dragon Body enhancement — The Azure Water Flood Dragon ring significantly strengthened the quality and durability of his Blue Silver Grass. 26 67

• Blue Silver: Domain of Life — An eighth Spirit Skill specializing in powerful field control. 98

Blue Silver Domain and Martial Soul Avatar

Zhou’s Blue Silver Domain develops from his resonance with surrounding plant life into a large-scale battlefield tool.

• Was enhanced by a 56,000-year Blue Silver Grass, allowing him to manifest a massive sword-armed Buddha-like statue. 72
• His Martial Soul Avatar grants control over water and fire elements. 90
• Blue Silver Divine Descent: Azure Emperor — A self-created Spirit Skill that manifests an Azure Emperor divine statue and can channel its power into Zhou himself as divine armor. 152
• Can absorb and redirect energy aftershocks through Blue Silver Grass and the domain rather than allowing them to spread across the battlefield. 152

Life Weaving and Grassman Puppets

By combining woven Blue Silver Grass with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda’s life-force ability, Zhou can create functional living constructs.

• Weaves Blue Silver threads into humanoid forms using Split Weaving. 19
• Life Force Attachment can give a woven construct breathing, skin, and a convincing human appearance for a limited time. 19
• His Grassman Puppets can drive carriages, operate independently, and possess combat power beyond ordinary level 20–30 control-type Soul Masters. 48

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda

Zhou possesses and uses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in addition to Blue Silver Grass.

• Life Force Attachment — Imbues constructs with life force and is central to his puppet-making. 19
• Treasure appraisal and detection — Used with Tian Rui to search for minerals, valuables, and discarded equipment in the Star Dou Great Forest. 24
• Used to alter and animate broken weapons into a makeshift microscope for examining water bears. 25

Martial Soul Fusion and Magnetic Perception

Zhou can coordinate closely with his counterparts, especially Tian Rui.

• A fusion of all five Martial Souls causes a Soul Power clash and cannot be sustained. 23
• Zhou and Tian Rui successfully used their fusion skill to defeat the Azure Water Flood Dragon. 26

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Five forged Pagodas — One of five pagodas forged by Tang Yin from Black Absolute Stone, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ores, and other materials. 74
• Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone — Enables flight, though Zhou considers it slower than his Blue Silver Flying Eagle form. 91
• Azure Emperor divine tablet — A simple tablet he worships during cultivation; he later intends to build a divine palace to the Azure Emperor. 4 157
• Medicinal materials and experimental reagents — Maintains materials for poison, pharmaceuticals, cultivation aids, and biological experimentation. 86 92

Relationships

• Xue Luochuan — Zhou infiltrated the First Prince’s camp under a false identity, manipulated his ambitions, and used him as part of a broader Heaven Dou destabilization plan. 79 80 85

Trivia

• Zhou’s original plan after awakening Blue Silver Grass was nearly derailed because he viewed the Martial Soul as “trash,” despite its later becoming the foundation of his strongest abilities. 1 15
• He once attempted to locate a water bear as a possible Spirit Beast, built a makeshift microscope to inspect it, and was disappointed when it produced no Spirit Ring. 25
• His early wilderness cabin included a self-carved Azure Emperor tablet, partly because he feared prolonged isolated cultivation might destabilize his mind. 4
• He considers the development of Martial Soul intelligence a major research goal and believes his Blue Silver Grass already shows primitive autonomous behavior during Growth. 89 90
