Background / History

Zhou Huan entered Shrek Academy intending to study, investigate his unusual Martial Souls, and cultivate quietly. Although his Soul Power ranked near the top of Class One, he deliberately lived as a “transparent person,” completing Zhou Yi’s training while avoiding attention. He habitually replaced sleep with meditation and regarded knowledge of Martial Souls as a major reason for coming to Shrek. 3 9 10

His Twin Martial Souls originated from mutated versions of his parents’ Martial Souls. His father possessed ordinary water, while his mother possessed a three-story iron pagoda with a limit of three Soul Rings. 9

While seeking a third Soul Ring in the Snow Forest Sea, Zhou Huan encountered the dying 190,000-year Azure Dragon Ice-Qilin Horse. He accepted her sacrifice in exchange for a promise to revive her and help her attain godhood. Her sacrifice gave him a powerful Soul Ring, torso Soul Bone, the Ice Qilin Cold Marrow Lotus, and a Domain Skill; the lotus further evolved his Frost Martial Soul into ultimate ice. 22 23

He later accepted the Snow Empress into the Floating Pagoda and offered her the same prospect of becoming a deity. Their arrangement allowed him to draw on her origin, Soul Ring, and Soul Bone while she remained within the pagoda. 57 63 64

Zhou Huan eventually became a Super Douluo, then a True God in the Abyss, where he turned Abyss Emperors into tools and planned to devour the plane for future revenge. 193 273 At a later stage, he reached the Creation God realm and killed Tang San, sealing Tang San’s soul to prevent reincarnation. 395

Appearance

Zhou Huan is outwardly unassuming and frequently conceals both his Soul Power and true combat capability. His public Spirit Ring display is deliberately misleading, allowing opponents to underestimate him. 9 23 131 159

• Possesses a pure-white, seven-level Floating Pagoda Martial Soul. 9
• Uses an ice-attribute Frost Martial Soul that later becomes ultimate ice. 22 23
• Can suppress his visible Soul Power to appear weaker than he is. 23

Personality

Zhou Huan is cautious, calculating, and deeply committed to survival. He considers concealment essential, favors assassination and battlefield control over direct confrontation, and routinely limits the strength he reveals. 9 40 93 131

Despite his preference for lying low, he is decisive when friends or loved ones are threatened. He is willing to cripple enemies who attempt to kill him, protects Xiao Xiao from situations he considers dangerous, and reserves his kindness primarily for family, friends, lovers, and defenseless civilians. 39 179 189

He values personal strength as the basis of freedom and choice. He urges Huo Yuhao not to entrust his fate to others and later rejects political control over the Douluo Continent despite Ju Zi’s offer of a unified empire. 78 192 316
