Background / History
In Ma Ran's previous life, Wu Di was a senior, trusted comrade, subordinate, and close friend whose harsh but well-intended “education” contributed to Ma Ran's growth. Wu Di later died fighting for his country before Earth's destruction. 24 25
After Ma Ran's rebirth, Wu Di arrived from Fulan Academy alongside Liu Huadie and He Nanguang. He immediately tried to recruit Ma Ran as his subordinate and challenged him, only to be decisively defeated by Ma Ran using one-tenth of his strength. Despite the beating, Wu Di honored his own belief that “men become friends through fighting” and accepted Ma Ran as his elder brother. 25 27
Wu Di initially failed Caolu Academy's supernatural-ability will test, lasting twelve seconds but improving from his previous eight- or nine-second result. His poor performance and inability to meet even the reserve standard led him to set aside superpower ambitions and focus on the Seven-Spin Sword Way. 30 88
He had been transferred from Fulan Academy to Caolu because his stubborn temperament alienated others. At Caolu, he repeatedly challenged stronger figures—including Ma Ran, Sword Head Lin Qiubai, and later the Demonic Son Zhang Kuang—but survived each encounter and gained their recognition. 87 141 187
Appearance
Wu Di is a young, black-haired man whose ordinary hair color became unexpectedly significant to Zhang Kuang, as it reminded the Demonic Son of someone from his past. 159
- Usually has black hair. 159
- Zhang Kuang temporarily made him bald as a farewell prank; his hair was expected to regrow after he reached the Third Stage of Inner Qi. 285
- In the Chaos Starfield, he carried a crude wooden spear that was actually a living, growing weapon bound to him. 848
- Lost his left arm during the Uprising's war. 851
Personality
Wu Di is stubborn, impulsive, and remarkably difficult to intimidate for long. His instinctive response to hearing that someone is powerful is often to test them personally, even when doing so is obviously dangerous. 87 187
His social instincts are sincere but badly misdirected. Wu Di wants friendship above all else, yet his upbringing causes him to offend people while trying to connect with them. He consequently treats greater strength as the qualification needed to make friends. 157 241
Though reckless, he is loyal and straightforward. He protected Zhang Kuang's rear during the Uprising, kept his promise that the Demonic Son would not be attacked from behind, and prepared a bundle of carefully chosen Earth gifts for Zhang Kuang's departure. 256 285 849 851
Abilities & Skills
Inner Qi Cultivation
Wu Di cultivates Ran Wu Inner Qi and is noted for exceptional toughness rather than overwhelming early talent.
- Reached the Second Stage of Inner Qi before his duel with Ma Ran. 25
- Reached the Third Stage after Ma Ran's individual guidance. 285
- Continued fighting despite cracked vital organs, later recovering after Su Qiangwei healed his liver, spleen, and lungs. 232
- His reckless battlefield style can leave him severely injured or exhausted. 254 857
Seven-Spin Sword Way

- Scored 6 on the Swordsmanship Talent Assessment, the minimum passing score for academy recruitment. 144
- Became recognized as one of the Sword Head's direct disciples. 200
- Fights with aggression and persistence, refusing to retreat even against vastly stronger opponents. 200 220
- His physical capability was severely reduced after reincarnation into the Chaos Starfield, but he retained his spear technique and comprehension. 848
Living Weapon Nurturing
Wu Di's weapon evolves alongside him and is treated as a future companion rather than a simple tool.
- Zhang Kuang named Wu Di's sword “Wu Di” and told him it could eventually manifest a human form. 269 285
- The standard Caolu Academy sword gradually changed into a gun-like form, then became a long spear with a black tassel. 302 501
- In the Chaos Starfield, the weapon—called Black Tassel—appeared as a wooden spear that absorbed nourishment from sunlight and air, grew over time, and could only be used by Wu Di. 848
Taunt
Wu Di awakened the supernatural ability [Taunt], a defensive-oriented ability whose effects overlap heavily with his own natural combat habits.
- Does not directly increase his defense. 282
- Would be highly valuable for a properly armored combatant, but is considered redundant on Wu Di because he already draws danger toward himself. 282
- Excessive superpower load carries the risk of mental collapse and soul dispersion. 282 283
Observation and Memory
Wu Di possesses unusually strong memory and can improve his awareness under extreme pressure.
- Claims to have innate “Viewing Steles on Horseback” and eidetic memory. 846
- Deduced that Zhang Kuang's restraint toward him was connected to the color of Wu Di's hair after surviving a death fantasy. 159
- Showed caution toward the Demonic Dao Planet's essence-blood plundering system despite its promise of rapid advancement. 497
