Background & History

Dongfang Chen was the Dongfang Family's eldest young master. At the age of three, he received the System's Novice Gift Pack, which gave him Dou Qi, strengthened meridians, and an All-Attribute Dou Qi Talent in a world where magic was the normal path of cultivation. 1 11

As a child, he was close to Mu Ningxue and Ye Xin Xia. The System repeatedly misidentified Mu Ningxue as “Nalan Yanran,” eventually directing Dongfang Chen to establish a Three Year Agreement with her; he ensured that the agreement was a duel rather than a broken engagement. 2 8

After returning to Bocheng with Ye Xin Xia, Dongfang Chen awakened Innate All Element at Tianlan Magic High School, gaining Elemental, Dark, Light, and Dimensional Magic at once. His awakening eclipsed Mofan's Innate Dual Element and made him the focus of the school. 5

He used his status and resources to help Mofan enter high school, built a pill-refining business that benefited the Dongfang Family, and trained against demons alongside Ye Xin Xia. 5 11 During the Bocheng crisis, preparations by Dongfang Chen and allied forces reduced the city's losses; afterward, he absorbed Fallen Heart Flame and greatly improved Fen Jue. 26

At Mingzhu Academy, his overwhelming strength earned him the title “Great Demon King.” He developed his magic and Dou Qi in parallel, established Chenxue Pavilion with Mu Ningxue, and turned Jinlin City into a base with a Dou Qi-rich cultivation environment. 43 245 295

Personality

Dongfang Chen is intensely driven by cultivation and treats resources, pills, rare flames, and dangerous opportunities as means to accelerate his growth. He is willing to spend heavily on himself and those close to him, but prefers practical gains over empty displays. 5 26 52

He is strategically minded outside combat. He builds alliances, delegates commercial work to the Dongfang Family, develops pills for other mages, and proposes defensive formations and Space Passages for coastal warfare. 466 468

His confidence can become bluntness: he often solves problems through overwhelming force when he judges prolonged planning unnecessary. This includes charging through the Forbidden Moon Stone Demon valley and directly confronting threats such as the Extreme South Emperor's puppet. 326 694

Despite this, he consistently protects companions, civilians, and subordinates. He equips those close to him with defensive resources, gives his partners demon puppets, rescues trapped mages during the Ding City crisis, and evacuates residents through Space Passages during the Xiamen disaster. 11 146 654 659

Abilities & Skills

Dual Cultivation

Dongfang Chen cultivates both Dou Qi and magic, with Fen Jue as his principal fire-attributed Dou Qi cultivation method.

Trivia

• The System's faulty character recognition repeatedly labels Mu Ningxue as “Nalan Yanran” and Tang Yue as “Yun Yun.” 2 146
• Although Innate All Element drew immediate attention, Dongfang Chen initially concealed the depth of his multi-element cultivation to avoid attracting hostile organizations. 17
• He is excluded from ordinary rankings of the younger generation because his true strength is too uncertain to assess conventionally. 552
