Background / History
Meng Chong was the legitimate son of the Tianping Meng family in the Wu Kingdom. Naturally bald and born with exceptional physical strength, he was sent to study martial arts at the age of five. When he returned, he found his parents dead and his relatives had seized their property. The family branded him a jinx because of his baldness, expelled him, and violently rejected his investigation into his parents’ suspected murder. 51
Rather than pursuing ordinary revenge, Meng Chong devised an unconventional scheme involving the Wu Kingdom’s bounty system. His unusual reasoning impressed Li Xuan, who recognized his talent and accepted him as his second disciple. 53
Under Li Xuan, Meng Chong became the founder’s primary Body Cultivation Martial Dao disciple. He cultivated the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield, later developed into the Great Sun Golden Body and Great Sun Indestructible Golden Body, and pursued the saber path alongside his physical cultivation. 58 96 213
Appearance
Meng Chong is a naturally bald, burly youth with a robust physique and prominent muscles. Despite his intimidating build, he has regular features and looks approximately sixteen or seventeen years old. 51 125

- Broad, muscular frame described as resembling a Diamond Arhat. 80
- Can transform into a golden-armored giant through his body-cultivation techniques. 245 356
- Uses wigs and altered appearances when evading pursuers. 148 404
Personality
Meng Chong initially appears simple, honest, and somewhat shy; he frequently scratches or touches his bald head while speaking. Beneath that appearance, he is calculating, inventive, and exceptionally practical—particularly when spiritual medicines, debts, or compensation are involved. 51 131 147
He values credibility and repayment, but he is willing to turn favors and life debts into concrete obligations. His dealings with Meng Shushu show both his mercenary instincts and his desire to give others a goal to strive toward. 127 132
In battle, Meng Chong is fearless and direct. He does not retreat from powerful enemies, treats hostile opponents ruthlessly, and often uses combat pressure to temper his body and advance his cultivation. 108 297 315
