Background / History

Lu Sheng was a solitary webnovel writer from the 21st century before transmigrating to a parallel Earth threatened by alien demons. He awakened in the body of an impoverished orphan and high-school student in Cloud City; at the time, the body's poor cultivation left him unable to reliably afford rent or martial-arts resources. His Martial Arts Talent System changed this situation by granting him Rapid Advancement, immediately elevating him into the Blood Qi Realm. 1 55

He entered Cloud City First High School's Martial Arts Class to secure training resources. His fast progress, practical experience against Martial Arts Puppets, and developing fist talent earned Chen Zhen's attention despite Lu Sheng's lack of family background or wealth. 5 6 17

After seeking free martial arts at the Heaven and Earth Dojo, Lu Sheng was tested by Wang Lin and demonstrated a solid foundation despite having entered the Blood Qi Realm only half a month earlier. He learned the Arhat Fist, mastered its basics in less than fifteen minutes, and was accepted as Kong Yunzhang's third direct disciple. 8 9 10

Lan Linglong became his day-to-day mentor and treated him as family. When the Bai Family arranged an assassination attempt against him, she killed the attacker and assured Lu Sheng that the dojo—including Kong Yunzhang and Kong Xin—would stand behind him. The incident intensified Lu Sheng's drive to gain enough strength to protect himself and the dojo. 23 26

Lu Sheng later travelled to Tianxing City and entered Star Academy by becoming the first applicant to break through Bai Ming's blockade. At the academy, he shifted from fist arts toward sword cultivation after exchanging accumulated system refreshes for the red-tier Divine Sword Dao talent. 62 67

His service at the Tianxing Great Wall changed his priorities. Captain Wang Yang sacrificed himself to save Lu Sheng during the defense of Beacon Tower 99, forcing him to confront the cost of war and the responsibility attached to his potential. After Wang Yang's death and Xu Changqing's later sacrifice, Lu Sheng resolved to treat himself as a true citizen of Great Xia and oppose both alien demons and the Demonic Cult. 108 109 120

Appearance

Lu Sheng is a young man whose sustained body refinement has produced a sturdy, powerful physique. 73

• He wore silver knuckle dusters while hunting Silver Moon Wolves. 28
• During his wilderness training outside Tianxing City, he wore white robes. 74
• His Golden Skin breakthrough covered his body in radiant golden light. 75

Personality

Lu Sheng is highly pragmatic and resource-conscious. He initially joined the Martial Arts Class for survival and resources, later choosing to accumulate refresh counts rather than gamble them immediately on low-probability talent rolls. 55 34

He is intensely persistent, repeatedly accepting dangerous pain and physical risk to surpass recognized limits: forcing his dantian beyond its safe capacity, enduring Sword Pool tempering, and pursuing twenty Blood Qi points despite repeated warnings. 73 89 90

Although initially detached from Great Xia due to his transmigrator identity, Lu Sheng develops a strong sense of belonging through his dojo family, Star Academy, and the sacrifices of Wang Yang and Xu Changqing. He increasingly views strength as a means to protect others rather than merely survive. 101 109 120

Lu Sheng conceals the existence of his system, attributing his abnormal physical growth to Standing Meditation rather than revealing his true source of power. 35

Nine Profound Golden Body Transformation

A nine-stage body-refining technique given to Lu Sheng by Kong Xin. Its first stage refines the body with Blood Essence, while its second stage uses spiritual energy to transform the body further. 35 36

• Its first level enabled Lu Sheng to withstand Bai Ming's Blood Essence-infused attack and enter Star Academy. 61
• It supports his unusually high Blood Essence capacity by strengthening the body needed to contain it. 73 75
• Lu Sheng later used Sword Pool energy as an additional method of Sword Qi Body Tempering. 86

Sword Dao

After receiving The Hidden Dragon, Formless Sword from Kong Xin, Lu Sheng pivoted toward Sword Dao cultivation. 56

• Hidden Dragon, Formless Sword — His principal sword-cultivation method; it developed from beginner level into the mid-stage Dragon Subduing Realm. 80 98
• Dragon Subduing Sword Qi — Forged by compressing one hundred strands of sword qi inside his dantian. 90 91
• Dragon Subduing Sword Intent — First-order intent comprehended through a simulated battle against the young Kong Yunzhang. 95 96

• Thousand Streams — Sword technique recorded at beginner level after Xu Changqing's sacrifice. 120

Relationships

• Kong Yunzhang — Master and adoptive dojo elder; Lu Sheng is his third direct disciple. Kong Yunzhang is the Great Xia Sword Saint. 10 11 55
• Lan Linglong — Second Senior Sister, mentor, and surrogate family member. She trained Lu Sheng, protected him during his first wilderness trial, and killed the Bai Family assassin sent after him. 12 14 23
• Kong Xin — First Senior Sister and Kong Yunzhang's daughter. She gave Lu Sheng the Nine Profound Golden Body Transformation and recognized his unusual physical potential. 35 56
• Chen Zhen — Lu Sheng's former Martial Arts Class instructor. He recognized Lu Sheng's potential early and encouraged his training. 6 17

• Lin Xuan — Star Academy dean. His question about an alien-demon invasion prompted Lu Sheng to consider the responsibilities tied to his strength. 97
• Wang Yang — Captain of Squad 56, who sacrificed himself to save Lu Sheng at Beacon Tower 99. His death profoundly changed Lu Sheng's outlook. 108 109
• Xu Changqing — Star Academy's thirty-third student. Lu Sheng told him that Body Refining was the key to surpassing nineteen Blood Qi points; Xu later died protecting Star Academy. 78 120
• Bai Mo — Martial Arts Class rival whose resentment led him to arrange Lu Sheng's assassination; Lu Sheng later accepted Bai Mo's challenge to settle their conflict. 22 39
• Ye Ying — Leader connected to the elite Night Owl squad. She challenged Lu Sheng to reach the Viscera Refining Realm in seven days before she would personally invite him to join. 123 124
