Background / History

Qin Chen began as a student of Muyang Third Middle School with only 1 point of Spiritual Energy Aptitude, a level widely viewed as an extreme disadvantage. After awakening, his cultivation speed defied that expectation: he became a Martial Artist and reached Body Tempering Layer One after a single night of cultivation. 3

His early rise began with retaliation against He Yi, who had bullied him. Qin Chen incapacitated He Yi in the classroom, later forced him to pay 50,000 Star Coins, and rapidly became the strongest student in Class Seven after winning its battle royal. 3 4 6

He used the Myriad Blades Arena to earn money and seek stronger opponents. His attempt at a ten-win streak ended with a severe loss to Bronze Gladiator Chen Qing, an experience that exposed the gap between his strength and an elite genius. Qin Chen recovered, trained for the Ranking Battle, and later defeated Chen Qing in a Star Vein Realm rematch with one move. 34 35 85

During the Beast Tide in Muyang City, Qin Chen fought Fierce Beasts with combat power far beyond his realm. His actions earned nationwide recognition, major financial rewards, and direct admission to Modu University through Mu Tiange. 92 105 106

At Modu University, he passed the King Trial, gained the title of King Yizhen, and became a prominent figure among the university’s students. His cultivation and combat achievements continued to draw attention across Great Xia and later beyond Blue Star. 115 131 154

He subsequently entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Battlefield, confronted Zhao Qin, and traveled through beastman territory in the identity of Ao Tian. After leaving Blue Star for the Great Yu Empire’s training camps, he pursued both Law cultivation and the dangerous Dragon Elephant Body Refining Heavenly Skill. 193 199 206 257

Personality

Qin Chen is exceptionally self-confident and actively seeks difficult opponents, techniques, and cultivation resources. He chooses the notoriously difficult Flowing Clouds Chasing Moon Steps specifically because ordinary skills offer him too little challenge, and he treats the potential side effects of cultivation techniques as benefits rather than risks. 7 8

He is calm in combat and rarely intimidated by stronger enemies, but his confidence is tempered by pragmatism. After recognizing Chen Qing’s superiority, he refuses to concede without testing the gap; when faced with the stronger Lan Wu, however, he chooses not to fight. 34 271

Qin Chen can be ruthless toward people he considers enemies or threats. He kills Li Yuan without hesitation, violently punishes Wang Yang and Wang Man, and kills Japanese cultivators in the Crystal Secret Realm. 20 67 184

Despite his growing fame, he retains a sense of obligation to those who help him and avoids exploiting supporters for their Academic Credits. He also shows a playful, teasing side around Zhao Wu and Leng Qingqiu. 8 162 271
