Background and History

Chu Sheng is a transmigrator who begins the story as a student in an interstellar society where martial arts determine opportunity. After classmates accuse him of stealing class fees, he refuses to accept the accusation and discovers a system that awards Justice Points for deeds it judges righteous. He can spend those points on cultivation and techniques 1 3.

His rapid advancement takes him from school competitions to victory in the Baian City league. The prize includes the Heaven-grade Spirit Firmament Thunder Marsh Qi Control Art. He subsequently secures special recruitment to Dragon Martial Academy; its representative, Long Liang, helps hold off trouble from the Sun Family while Chu Sheng plans to deal with them himself 12 14 19 20.

Chu Sheng also works through the Jingwu Bureau, where his investigations repeatedly bring him into conflict with local families, sects and other officials. In the Northern Barren Prefecture, he campaigns against the Barbarian Tribes and the Bone Addiction Powder trade. After reaching peak Martial Saint, he takes command of the Northern Garrison Army and orders it toward Central Prefecture, alarming the Federation’s leadership 34 38 178 252 295 301.

His later travels take him to Qingmang Star and beyond. He establishes a Martial Arts Hall on Qingmang Star, competes in the Star Sea Martial Arts Tournament, and becomes entangled in conflicts involving the Star Alliance, the Great Yan Divine Dynasty and higher cultivation powers. In the Great Sheng Dynasty, he serves as a Grade-A agent of the Secret Investigation Institute before his progress carries him to the Half-step Immortal Emperor realm 468 568 582 627 787 851.

Personality

Chu Sheng is direct, confrontational and unwilling to defer to status.

He describes himself as a good person and often frames his actions as justice, but his judgments are uncompromising and frequently frighten allies as well as opponents. He is strategic about acquiring points and improving his odds before difficult fights. His manner can be abrasive in personal relationships: Zheng Yuan continues to care for him despite his initial rebuffs, and he eventually accepts the birthday meal she prepares 190 468 530 534.
