Appearance

Following the Sacred Body’s rebirth, Shen He develops a notably larger and stronger physique, with an appearance repeatedly compared to divine or glazed crystal imagery. Golden blood energy and dragon-shaped manifestations accompany his Martial Soul’s activation. 3 4

• Nearly 1.8 meters tall at thirteen, with well-proportioned muscles. 4
• Fair, jade-like skin with a crystalline luster. 4
• Long black hair reaching his waist. 4
• Divine light occasionally flashes from his eyes. 4
• His activated Sacred Body produces golden blood-energy dragons, divine flames, storms, and thunder. 3 4
• His third Soul Ring is black, marking it as ten thousand years old. 30 33

Personality

Shen He is mischievous and enjoys exploiting the absurd consequences of narration changes. He alters a registration fee into a handout, changes a notice about Tang Hao “beating” Zhao Wuji and Great Master Yu into “fondling,” and regularly provokes Tang San over the latter’s Blue Silver Pig Martial Soul. 1 4 12

Despite this irreverence, he takes his position as dean seriously. He publicly defended Shrek Academy’s reputation at the Great Soul Arena, introduced group-combat training, and later designed structural policies for the merged Douluo Academy. 14 37 64 His defeat at the hands of the Titan Giant Ape also forces him to acknowledge his overconfidence and reassess his limits. 28

Abilities & Skills

Modify Narration System

Shen He possesses a system that lets him alter narration, though its modifications are restricted by the system’s level. 1

• Changed the registration narration so Li Yusong gave each registrant ten Gold Soul Coins rather than collecting a fee. 1
• Changed the description of his Martial Soul from “Body” to “Sacred Body,” triggering its extraordinary awakening. 3
• Uses narrative changes to disrupt events around Tang San and gain system experience from deviations to the original plot. 12 28
• The system granted him the Nine Secrets’ Fighting Skill while nearing Level 2. 14

Sacred Body Martial Soul

Shen He’s original Body Martial Soul transforms into the Sacred Body, a Martial Soul beyond the era’s ordinary evaluation standards. Its awakening rebuilds his flesh, blood, and bones and produces golden blood. 3 4 7

• Greatly enhances his physical strength; Dai Mubai senses that Shen He’s strength exceeds his own. 4
• Broadens and strengthens his meridians, allowing him to withstand higher-age Soul Rings and greater Soul Power than comparable Soul Masters. 7
• His physical strength alone is close enough to Zhao Wuji’s to withstand an exchange despite their enormous cultivation gap. 10
• Its Ancient Sacred Body state is stated to possess immunity to laws, allowing Shen He to break the Lava Combination’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 38

Hidden Strength

Shen He’s first Soul Skill deposits power inside an opponent and detonates it at a chosen moment. 10

• Bypasses ordinary external defenses by erupting from within the target’s body. 10
• Injured Zhao Wuji’s internal organs and briefly disrupted the latter’s Soul Power circulation. 10

Transforming Strength

Shen He’s second Soul Skill gives him exceptional control and efficiency over his own force. 10

• Allows precise muscle control to maximize the force of each strike. 10
• Negates reaction force and absorbs vibrations and rebounding force into his own attacks. 10
• Turned Zhao Wuji’s Gravity Compression into additional force for Shen He’s punches. 10

Battle Saint Law and Nine Secrets’ Fighting Skill

Shen He employs the Battle Saint Law alongside the Nine Secrets’ Fighting Skill, techniques suited to close-quarters combat. 14 25

• The Fighting Skill can evolve numerous combat techniques and imitate an enemy’s attacks. 14
• He uses the Battle Saint Law to augment his Sacred Body’s offensive power. 25 34
• The Titan Giant Ape shattered his Battle Saint Law with a punch, demonstrating that Shen He’s techniques do not erase the gap between him and powerful ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts. 28

Evil God Transformation

Shen He gained this third Soul Skill from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. 30

• Covers his body in dark, evil-energy patterns. 30
• Increases his physical strength by nearly fifty percent. 30
• When combined with Transforming Strength and the Battle Saint Law, raises his aura to a level Dugu Bo judged close to a Soul Douluo’s. 34 74

Evil God Wings

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger also left behind an External Soul Bone, which Shen He absorbed. 30

• Manifests as a pair of black wings from his shoulder blades. 30
• Grants sustained aerial flight. 30
• Lets him search the Sunset Forest from the air and evade Dugu Bo’s pressure by increasing his altitude. 73 74

Attribute Reception

The Three-eyed Golden Lion used its secret Attribute Reception ability to save Shen He when the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s remnant soul attacked his mental space. 29 30

• Purged the invading evil energy with the lion’s light-affiliated power. 30
• Strengthened Shen He’s soul and expanded his spiritual space to at least twice its previous size. 30
• Caused Shen He and the Three-eyed Golden Lion to exchange memory fragments, though the system concealed his prior life and system from it. 30

Equipment / Items

• Storage Soul Tool ring — A purple ring used to store items, including a black card; Shen He obtained it during a trip to Suotuo City. 13
• Sunflower Manual — A prank manual Shen He casually wrote and left in his room. Tang San and Tang Hao stole it, mistaking its self-castration requirement for the secret behind Shen He’s strength. 90

Relationships

• Zhao Wuji — Tested Shen He in battle and acknowledged his extraordinary physical strength. Zhao Wuji later served under Shen He at Shrek Academy. 10 25 33

• Qian Renxue / Xue Qinghe — Shen He knowingly cooperates with Qian Renxue while she is disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. Together, they establish Douluo Academy, though Shen He remains wary of her political motives. 61 63 64
