Background

Wu Di is a young man from the Blue Star Celestial Dynasty who transmigrated into the body of another Wu Di, a country boy in a strange world. The original body’s owner had collapsed and died from overexertion while training in martial arts; Wu Di inherited his memories and a panel visible only to himself. 643

Before the transmigration, the original Wu Di had been seized by a Slave Catching Squad and driven as a slave by a Horse Caravan. The caravan’s abuse, exhaustion, and whippings led to the original owner’s death. 636

After being threatened by a Variant, Wu Di receives a prompt to activate the Savage Tiger Body. The enhancement restores his injured leg and grants extraordinary strength, explosive power, endurance, and speed. He escapes the Variant, then hunts down two Horse Caravan men who had whipped and attempted to kill the slaves. 640

Half a month after transmigrating, Wu Di trains at Wei Chu Martial Hall in Copper Slope Town. He uses the original owner’s year of training memories to practice the Iron Body Skill and rapidly reaches Body Refinement Realm First Level. 643

Personality

Wu Di initially reacts to slavery and imminent death with despair, even becoming temporarily indifferent toward life and death. Nevertheless, he continues looking for a way to survive rather than passively accepting his circumstances. 638

Once empowered, he is decisive and vengeful toward those who abused the slaves. He kills one Horse Caravan member with a single punch, but deliberately leaves another alive to interrogate him about Pingyang City. 638

He is also observant and pragmatic. He analyzes why his enhanced body can outrun a Variant and quickly recognizes that his panel likely possesses hidden cultivation-assisting functions. 640 643

Appearance

Wu Di occupies the body of a young country boy. After activating Savage Tiger Body, his physical condition changes dramatically during combat, allowing him to display strength far beyond that of an ordinary slave. 636 640

• Initially wears the condition and restraints of a caravan slave, including hemp rope binding his wrists. 636
• His body visibly changes upon entering the Iron Body Skill: muscles swell and redden, bones creak, and veins bulge before subsiding. 643
• Later trains at Wei Chu Martial Hall alongside more than fifty apprentices. 713

Abilities & Skills

• Lets him crush a stone into powder casually. 636

Iron Body Skill

A Mortal Grade martial art taught externally by Wei Chu Martial Hall. It emphasizes resistance to blows and uses straightforward, steady punches and kicks rather than sophisticated offensive techniques. 643 713

• Wu Di concludes it has hidden functions that accelerate cultivation and help overcome bottlenecks. 643

Relationships

• Senior Brother — Wei Chu Martial Hall instructor and Iron Body Skill practitioner at Body Refinement Realm Sixth Level; tests and verifies Wu Di’s breakthrough. 643 698
• Horse Caravan members — Former captors who abused Wu Di and other slaves; he kills one and captures another for information after obtaining Savage Tiger Body. 636 638
• Original Wu Di — The deceased owner of Wu Di’s current body, whose memories of a year of martial arts training aid his cultivation. 643

Story Role / Major Arcs

Slave Caravan and Variant Attack

Wu Di awakens in the body of a bound slave being driven by a Horse Caravan. When a Variant pursues the group, the caravan members mutilate and kill slaves to slow the monster. Wu Di is injured and targeted by the Variant. 636 637

The Savage Tiger Body prompt appears at the moment he faces death. After accepting it, he breaks his restraints, strikes the Variant, and escapes at extreme speed. 640 642

Retribution Against the Horse Caravan

After escaping the Variant, Wu Di identifies two former captors fleeing on horseback. He overtakes them, kills one with a punch through the back, disarms the other’s Long Saber, and knocks him from his horse. 636

Rather than immediately kill the survivor, Wu Di interrogates him for the location of Pingyang City. 638

Wei Chu Martial Hall Training

At Wei Chu Martial Hall, Wu Di practices the Iron Body Skill, whose cultivation had stalled the original body’s owner for a year. With help from his panel, he passes from 99% progress into the skill’s entry stage and becomes a Body Refinement Realm First Level martial artist. 643

His Senior Brother verifies the breakthrough, while the Hall Master praises his perseverance, warns him not to become complacent, and rewards him with an Iron Bone Pill. 698
