Background / History

Lu Xuan initially lives as an ordinary person while his parents remain hospitalized and frail. A future email sent by his dead future self reveals that the Monster Potion Company supplied diluted Earth Dragon Essence Blood, contributing to his parents’ condition; Lu Xuan resolves to remember the company’s wrongdoing while lacking the power to act openly 2.

He enters Ruins City seeking opportunities and develops his Psychic Power through repeated life-or-death encounters. After being ambushed by a Ghost-faced Monkey, he discovers that Psychic Power can steer bullets and manipulate weapon fragments, though overuse leaves him mentally impaired 7. He subsequently uses a Ghost-faced Monkey mask to conceal his identity as the feared “Ghost Face Martial Artist” 13 34.

Lu Xuan kills Xu Long, acquires extensive resources, and deliberately spreads rumors about the Xu Family to divert the Monster Potion Company’s investigation away from himself 17 18 19. His vendetta against both powers escalates into wanted notices, wilderness battles, and eventually the destruction of their core forces 31 74 79.

After taking over the Xu Family and Monster Potion Company’s assets, Lu Xuan consolidates them into Monster Company No. 0, valued at 200 billion upon listing 79 80. He later establishes Great Wilderness Hall and leads it into the Endless Dungeon, where he develops Great Wilderness City and turns Ancient God Blood Crystals and divine-ability research into the city’s central advantage 86 101 128 133.

Following a large-scale ambush, Lu Xuan is presumed dead. He survives under the identity “Tyrant,” receives an ancient inheritance, and later reveals himself during a beast tide 148 172. He ultimately breaks through to Martial Dao Grandmaster and later enters the Martial God Hall for cultivation 179 197.

Appearance

Personality

Lu Xuan is cautious, calculating, and highly pragmatic. He avoids exposing Psychic Power, assumes powerful people may covet his abilities, and repeatedly uses alternate identities, misinformation, and strategic retreats to survive 11 13 18.

Despite describing himself as neither a good nor bad person, he is strongly protective of his family. Much of his cultivation, wealth accumulation, and conflict with major factions is driven by the need to heal his parents, repair Lu Ying’s martial foundation, and secure his family’s safety 2 11 56 79.

He values loyalty and repays aid. He expresses lasting gratitude to Gu Qingfeng for saving and healing him, invests heavily in Great Wilderness Hall’s members, and gives trusted subordinates opportunities to become Qi and Blood Martial Masters 79 101 114.
