Background / History

Xiao Chenyu was originally an unremarkable Soul Master with slow cultivation progress; before following Qin He, he had gained only one Soul Power level over four years. Qin He’s intervention changed his prospects: Xiao Chenyu received the Netherwolf King’s hundred-year Soul Ring and became a level 21 Great Soul Master. 32 51

He became intensely devoted to Qin He, addressing him as “Boss” and interpreting even Qin He’s casual actions as profound strategy. His faith in the so-called Rolling Cultivation Method led him to roll on the training field for a month, eventually contributing to his development of a Mutated Soul Skill. 32 49 53

During Notting Academy’s Multi-Academy Tournament, Xiao Chenyu initially underestimated Tang San but overcame him with Great Wolf Ball. He subsequently won his remaining Notting Academy matches with a single-move style modeled after Qin He. 50 53 55

After being driven away by Qin He, Xiao Chenyu interpreted the event as an instruction to infiltrate Spirit Hall Academy. He joined Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation and earned trust as “Military Advisor Xiao,” while privately remaining devoted to Qin He and gathering intelligence. 76 77 83

His cover grew strong enough that he advised Spirit Hall leaders, confronted Salas and Ghost Douluo on Xie Yue’s behalf, and impressed Bibi Dong during his first appearance in the Pope’s Hall. 225 227 229 He eventually revealed his true allegiance to Xie Yue and returned openly to Qin He after Qin He became emperor. 280 294

Qin He appointed Xiao Chenyu as his right-hand man and Chief Administrative Officer after Xiao Chenyu presented him with a poem celebrating his ascension. 294

Personality

Xiao Chenyu is fervently loyal to Qin He and habitually attributes grand, layered meanings to Qin He’s words and actions. This devotion motivates both his cultivation and his political decisions, from enduring the Rolling Cultivation Method to entering Spirit Hall as an undercover agent. 49 60 77

He is confident to the point of arrogance in battle, though repeated setbacks and Qin He’s reprimands taught him to value restraint. 50 53 62 Beneath his dramatic admiration for Qin He, he is resourceful: he develops unconventional Soul Skills, maintains a long-term cover within Spirit Hall, and wins the trust of powerful figures. 69 227 280

He also values friendship. When Bibi Dong offered him a reward, he used the opportunity to request Xie Yue’s release rather than seek status or treasure for himself. 227
