Background / History

Zhao Chen enters the Spiritual Road without access to spiritual power, relying on his Spirit Body, combat judgment, and system sign-in rewards. He travels with Wu Yingying, obtains spirit herbs through negotiation, and kills increasingly powerful Spirit Beasts, including the Mountain Bear, Fire Python Tiger, Iron Wing Bird, and Netherworld Wolf King. During the wolf-pack siege, he turns improvised materials into arrows and proves his archery against Tier 1–3 Spirit Beasts. 7 9 11 12 13

His survival-focused outlook is established early. He incapacitates and loots Zhan Cheng and Zhan Xiong after judging their intentions hostile, later kills Fang Zhong for attempting to monopolize missions, and treats Spirit Beast materials as essential resources rather than waste. 15 28 56

In the final stage of the Spiritual Road, Zhao Chen rescues the poisoned Luo Li from Zhao Tiandu’s group. Their initially hostile encounter develops into mutual respect and eventually a romantic relationship. 48 49 224 225

After returning, Zhao Chen defeats the Liu brothers, takes first place in the Northern Spiritual Academy’s Earth Rank, and receives academy protection despite admitting that he killed Liu Mubai, Liu Yang, and Blood Butcher. 74 95 He later joins the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, rises through its rankings, and founds the Asura Hall before expanding it into the Asura Godly Court. 100 135 161 323

As his power grows, Zhao Chen takes responsibility for larger forces and territories. He supports the Luo God Clan, unifies the Heavenly Luo Continent through the Asura Godly Court, fights the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, and ultimately confronts the Heavenly Evil God. 300 323 349 493 528

Personality

Zhao Chen is calm, calculating, and difficult to intimidate. He studies opponents before acting, exploits weaknesses in combat, and frequently prepares arrays or escape-denial measures before confronting stronger enemies. His defeat of the Spirit Skill Hall guardian by destroying its array hub rather than overpowering it directly exemplifies this approach. 153

He is ruthlessly pragmatic toward hostile cultivators and Spirit Beasts, especially when they threaten him or his allies. However, he also protects those he accepts as his own: he rescues Luo Li without knowing her identity, provides Tang Qian'er with cultivation resources, and plans resources for the Asura Godly Court’s core members. 48 124 271 342

His confidence is often expressed through teasing, wagers, and deliberate provocation. He challenges powerful figures openly when necessary, including Luo Tianshen and the Western Heaven War Emperor, but does not seek empty displays of force; he uses status, resources, and overwhelming strength to secure long-term strategic advantages. 12 224 298
