Ge Xiaolun

Biodata

Background & History

Ge Xiaolun was an untrained university student when Ajie approached him for recruitment. His attention was immediately captured by Ashe after spotting her in Ajie and Rose's car; he became infatuated at first sight and barely processed Ajie's explanation. 30 31

Ajie exploited Xiaolun's attraction to Ashe and Rose by implying that joining Xiong Bing Lian would let him study, train, and live near them, even promising two-on-one tutoring. Xiaolun accepted these suggestions as evidence that he was the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment story. 32 33

After arriving at Super Seminary, Xiaolun tried to approach Ashe, only for her to curtly introduce herself and leave. Rose then dismantled his expectations, pointing out that the recruitment promises were plainly unrealistic and that he had never questioned why a formal military organization would offer such terms. 44

Rose's confrontation forces Xiaolun to reflect on his impulsive decision. She still urges him to remain at the academy because Earth needs its available strength, but tells him to hold Ajie accountable for the deception. 45 Xiaolun contacts Rose, follows her instructions, and confronts Ajie using the Evil Demon Eye's lightning enhancement. 46 49 He later attends the Super Seminary classroom gathering appearing notably more spirited and self-assured. 50

Appearance

At Super Seminary, Xiaolun is seen in a light-blue shirt layered with a dark vest. 44

• Frequently appears awkward or fidgety around Ashe and Rose. 44
• During the fight with Ajie, a faint purple halo and a glowing thunderous eye manifest behind him. 49

Personality

Xiaolun is initially naive, easily distracted by his attraction to attractive women, and readily persuaded by promises that appeal to his fantasies. He interprets his sudden recruitment and implied proximity to Ashe and Rose as proof that he is a specially favored “protagonist,” rather than questioning the organization or its motives. 32 33 44

He is also hesitant in confrontation. When Rose criticizes his choices, he repeatedly struggles to respond and ultimately begins to accept that he ignored obvious warning signs. 44 45 His anger at being manipulated can overcome that passivity, as shown when he attacks Ajie; however, he still avoids critical targets and limits his punches to safer areas, suggesting restraint despite his outrage. 49

His apparent improvement after confronting Ajie remains uncertain. Ashe notes that a single emotional incident is not enough to guarantee lasting personal change. 50

Abilities & Skills

Evil Demon Eye

The Evil Demon Eye is a lightning-based combat permission ultimately granted by Ashe. Rose receives the permission from Ashe and then passes it to Xiaolun, allowing him to use the eye during his confrontation with Ajie. 47 49

• Creates a purple halo behind Xiaolun, with a brilliant thunderous eye at its center. 49
• Adds lightning current to his attacks; the current spreads through a struck target's body and causes pain, weakness, and temporary incapacitation. 49
• Allowed an untrained Xiaolun to overwhelm Ajie in a direct fight. 49
• Its output is controlled by Ashe; she can limit the current to prevent lethal harm. 49
• The system describes the blessing as reaching roughly twenty percent of Ashe's thunder-punishment power, with greater potential following Ashe's future upgrades. 49

Relationships

• Ashe — Xiaolun is infatuated with her at first sight and repeatedly tries to approach her; Ashe is uninterested and actively avoids him. 30 31 44
• Rose — Initially another target of his attraction and a tool in Ajie's recruitment pitch. Rose bluntly exposes the deception, encourages him to take responsibility, and coordinates his retaliation against Ajie. 33 41 45 46
• Ajie — Xiaolun's recruiter, who manipulates him with false expectations involving Ashe and Rose. Xiaolun later attacks him after learning the truth. 32 33 49
• Lena — Observes the aftermath of his confrontation with Ajie and hopes the incident will make him easier to guide as a trainee. 50
