Background / History

Su Ming came from an ordinary family and entered Longyao City’s Demon Hunter Academy after awakening his Spiritual Constitution at seventeen. During his first year, he remained a weak Three-Star Sorcerer with few mastered Spiritual Arts. By his second year, his public academic record appeared average despite consistently high attendance, allowing him to live as an unnoticed “side character.” 11 414

Xu Qianqian noticed that Su Ming had concealed strength beyond his public record and recruited him to investigate threats around her. He agreed only after requiring secrecy about both his abilities and their involvement, refusing credit or fame. 14 16

His power changed fundamentally after he consumed a Phantasmal Demon Elixir made from Nightmare Breed blood. The process expelled much of his human blood, gave him Demonic Power, strengthened his physique, and turned him into a dual-class Professional while Pattern Sight awakened on his Sorcerer side. 104 105

To act without exposing himself, Su Ming adopted the identity King Ming. Under this persona, he fought High-level Professionals, repelled Gao Xu, and became entangled in the conflict over the Demon Emperor Sword after it merged into his right hand. 179 210 220

After graduating early from the Demon Hunter Academy, Su Ming left Longyao City for Tianfeng City and founded the professional team Azure Mercury. He recruited Chi Qian, Mu Yan, Feng Qing’er, and Tong Xinyao, supplying them with resources that rapidly raised the team’s strength. 261 304 339 345

Su Ming’s identities and dual-class status were eventually exposed following the Extreme Night Maze incident. His achievements drew Elder Ling’s attention; although Su Ming resisted becoming a public hero, Elder Ling chose him as a prospective successor. 388 390 437

Appearance

Before his bloodline modification, Su Ming was tall and thin, with the frail build expected of a Sorcerer. Nightmare Breed blood strengthened his body, giving him defined muscles and a more robust presence. 105 169

• His right hand is marked by cracks that emit an eerie blue light when its power is active. 105 210
• In his King Ming guise, he concealed himself beneath a black cloak, hood, mask, and fingerless gloves. 179
• His Demonization form has black skin, white hair, elongated nails, and bat-like wings. 402
• After consuming Purple Snow Sap Essence, his Demonization developed four pairs of wings, golden pupils, and brilliant golden cracks across his body. 407

Personality

Su Ming is cautious, private, and deeply resistant to becoming the center of attention. Even while hiding strength far beyond his peers, he initially sought only to remain an ordinary academy student and demanded that Xu Qianqian keep his abilities secret. 11 16

He is observant and pragmatic in combat, preferring to assess opponents, exploit tools, and conceal decisive advantages rather than fight openly. His aliases, aura suppression, and careful destruction of evidence all reflect this approach. 179 291 336

Despite avoiding the role of a hero, Su Ming consistently acts to protect people important to him, including Xu Qianqian, Xiao Hai’er, An Zijin, and the members of Azure Mercury. He is willing to confront powerful enemies when their safety is at stake. 161 390 422

His outward demeanor can be casual and irreverent, especially when confronted by authority or provocation. He often maintains composure even against stronger opponents. 179 417

Nightmare Breed Bloodline and Demonization

Su Ming’s Hunter power originates from a modified Nightmare Breed Phantasmal Demon Bloodline.

• Grants a physique, recovery ability, and Demonic Power far beyond an ordinary human’s. 105
• His initial Demonization amplified his strength by approximately twentyfold. 402

• The Demon Emperor Sword resides within the arm and has previously affected Su Ming’s mind and body. 250 252
• Silver Arm: Violent Stream — Releases a devastating torrent of Demonic Power; it overwhelmed Lord Crow but imposed an immense energy cost. 218 219
• Silver Arm: Gluttony — Covers Su Ming’s entire body in Demonic Power to neutralize or reflect attacks. 426
• His greatly enhanced mental strength later rendered him immune to the sword’s mental interference. 427

Blade Techniques

Su Ming fights with an Alchemical Long Saber and has trained in both the Demon Blade technique and an Ancient Blade Technique legacy.

• His spiritual perception allows him to learn techniques rapidly, though the Demon Blade technique places considerable strain on his body. 167
