Background

Lu Chen was a transmigrator whose parents had died before Dean Lu Jinnian found and adopted him. Lu Jinnian raised him as his own grandson at Nuoding Primary Soul Master Academy. 1

At six years old, Lu Chen awakened the blood-red Asura Demon Sword, one of the God Realm's Five Great Super Divine Artifacts, together with the incomplete Asura Domain. The awakening's Slaughter Aura suppressed Yu Xiao Gang's martial soul and even eroded Lu Jinnian's defensive cauldron martial soul. 1

The awakening also activated the Sword Obsession System, which rewards him for completing ten thousand sword swings each day. Lu Chen immediately committed himself to the regimen, enduring physical exhaustion while the Asura Demon Sword gradually nourished and repaired his body. 1 3

Appearance

Lu Chen is described as tall and well-proportioned, with a sturdy physique, black eyes that can show a faint red light, and an imposing presence in white robes. 29

• His Asura Demon Sword is a blood-red greatsword over two meters long, marked by dark-gold demonic patterns and a pervasive Slaughter Aura. 1
• When drawing on Asura Power, his hair turns white, his pupils become crimson-gold, and blood-colored patterns spread across his sclera. 58
• When activating the Golden Dragon King bloodline, gold dragon scales cover his body and his eyes become vertical golden dragon pupils. 111 207
• He later inherits the dark purple-gold Destruction Dragon Wings. 336

Personality

Lu Chen is intensely disciplined. He completes his daily ten-thousand-swing training even through pain, exhaustion, injuries, and adverse conditions, believing that combat and tempering are essential to keeping the Asura Demon Sword sharp. 3 8 17

He is independent and guarded with his power. He conceals his true martial soul, cultivation, and identity when necessary, refuses recruitment by both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and remains wary of Yu Xiao Gang's guidance. 2 3 100 115

Despite his ruthless combat style, Lu Chen is protective toward those close to him. He safeguards Xiao Wu's identity, shields Dugu Yan from danger, provides restorative pills to his companions, and reassures Xiao Wu when she is frightened by Bibi Dong. 3 14 33 36 213
