Background

Su Chen was a truck driver on Earth before transmigrating into the Da Qian Dynasty. The original owner of his body had been forced to death by the Black Water Gang because his house obstructed the gang's interests. Su Chen inherited both the house and the immediate threat, prompting him to seek martial training at the Hong Family Martial Hall rather than surrender his home. 1

While hunting bounties and surviving the conflicts around White Stone City, he acquired secret manuals from Liu Tong's hidden cache. By correcting intentionally reversed passages, he registered the Ape Arm Skill and Raging Wave Saber Technique on his panel. 15

Hong Ming became Su Chen's master and provided Qi Blood Powder after witnessing his progress. Su Chen supplemented formal instruction with independent medical study, poison research, bounty hunting, and the panel's Easy Mode. 28 29 39

After failing the Mystic Water Sect's aptitude test but astonishing its examiners with his comprehension, Su Chen was targeted over the incompatibility between his existing Practice Force and the sect's cultivation method. He left Great Abundance City under the identity Ding Peng and continued pursuing fusion-type cultivation methods. 107 108

Personality

Su Chen is survival-minded, pragmatic, and intensely focused on cultivation. Even when initially facing the Black Water Gang, he understood that bluffing could only delay danger and sought martial strength for lasting security. 1

He studies manuals, medicine, poisons, and cultivation systems methodically, often withholding breakthroughs or disguising his identity until revealing himself is advantageous. His use of Ding Peng, Yang Guo, Ge An, and other identities allows him to move through hostile territories without exposing his true position. 22 108 116 213

He is decisive toward opponents who show killing intent or betrayal, but consistently protects people he considers his own. He intervened for Hong Ming's group against Tao Dingfang, rescued Zhu Yan from the City Lord Manor years later, and aided Ma Chen against Ma Shiman's betrayal. 96 174 302

Qian Ruyuan characterizes Su Chen as devoted to cultivation rather than wealth, power, or lust; Spirit Origin Pills are identified as the most effective way to earn his cooperation. 206

Su Chen possesses a panel that records compatible martial arts and activates an “Easy Mode” condition for rapid cultivation.

• The Myriad Momentum Art allows him to employ changing Momentum forms at will. 249
• He perfects Myriad Phenomena Momentum while fighting multiple sect geniuses on a mountaintop. 245
• His Martial Dao Truth, “My Will is Heaven's Will, My Heart is Heaven's Heart,” overwhelms the Martial Dao Truths of the martial artists attacking him. 258
