Background / History

Kong Wu transmigrated into a world of cultivators, demons, and Evil Gods. After solving several major cases, the County Magistrate promoted him to constable. While suppressing mountain bandits, he encountered and brutally subdued a talking tiger, confirming that demons existed in this world. His System displayed attributes and rewarded him with Free Attribute Points for defeating powerful enemies. 2

As a constable, Kong Wu solved Master Bai's murder and exposed the disguised fortune-telling Daoist as an Evil God Cultist. He established a reputation for imposing his own rules against harassment and bullying, including intervening when Qian Zhenghao targeted a woman. 6

His unusual growth drew attention from cultivators, demons, and the Demon Suppression Division. Though others repeatedly mistook him for a body cultivator with an ancient bloodline or hidden inheritance, he possessed no True Essence and relied on a System-driven path of physical strengthening. 43 108 231

Kong Wu later learned that he was descended from Kong Yue, the first Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Suppression Division and the Great Jing Dynasty's legendary King of Equal Rank. Kong Yue's physique removed the limits of the physical body, but his legendary power was also built through relentless training and battle. 223 231

Initially detached from the Kong family's legacy because his soul came from another world, Kong Wu became enraged upon discovering that the Great Jing Emperor had refined Kong Yue into a puppet. He fought Kong Yue's corpse rather than allow his ancestor to remain a weapon after death. 271 273

After exhausting the supply of worthy opponents in Great Jing, Kong Wu traveled through the Central Continent, Western Ox Continent, and eventually Pangu Continent in search of stronger demonic evils and greater growth. 284 289 394

At the end of his conflict with Hongjun, Kong Wu lost the System and all power it held, but survived Hongjun's attack. He rejected the idea that his strength came only from the System, crediting the battles and near-death experiences he had endured. 667 669

Appearance

Kong Wu is an exceptionally tall, heavily muscled man whose physique is repeatedly described as more imposing than that of ordinary cultivators. He was nearly ten feet tall upon arriving in the Central Continent, with clearly defined muscles that expand and contract with every movement. 59 310

• Broad back and arms described as thick as hundred-year-old trees. 59
• Musculature becomes more monstrous and pronounced when activating Blood Burst Technique or Blood Ghost Battle Body. 112 591
• Commonly wears a black robe, later enhanced with a Charm attribute that makes him appear exceptionally handsome and imposing. 376
• Can appear completely ordinary and without any leaking aura after losing the System. 669

Personality

Kong Wu is direct, pragmatic, and guided by a blunt personal sense of justice. As a constable, he refuses to tolerate bullying or harassment, and later maintains that he only targets demonic evils despite his destructive reputation. 6 284

His primary motivation is growth through combat. He actively seeks powerful demons, requests access to Demon Suppression Prisons, and values opponents for the Attribute Points they can provide. 43 60 96

Kong Wu is fearless to the point of recklessness, often responding to danger with excitement rather than caution. He was willing to challenge divine manifestations, Nascent Soul cultivators, and beings whose attributes initially appeared only as question marks. 77 222 478

Despite his greed for power, he retains a moral limit. When he considered gaining strength by destroying all life on Pangu Continent, he ultimately could not bring himself to do so. 667
