Background / History

Lin Chen was an 18-year-old college student before transmigrating to the Douluo Continent and being reborn in the Heaven Spirit Empire. His parents died protecting him when the Wang Family annihilated the Lin family. After awakening the top-tier Seven Kill Sword Tool Martial Soul at age six, he chose the Soul Master path to gain the strength needed for revenge. At age twelve, he entered Shrek Academy with a recommendation letter from City Lord Zhang Lexuan. 1

At Shrek, Lin Chen became roommates with Zhou Mingxing and quickly formed friendships with Huo Yuhao, Lin Xiaolei, and Xiao Xiao. He supported Zhou Mingxing after learning that the Food System Soul Master had been bullied and looked down upon by other noble-family youths. 2 22

The Wang Family continued to pursue him because of the Seven Kill Sword's potential, sending Wang Zhong and two Soul Kings to assassinate him during his third-ring hunt. After disappearing for more than a month, Lin Chen encountered Qian Renxue in a cave and accepted her aid. In return, he promised to revive her and assist her revenge against Tang San. Qian Renxue expanded his Sea of Consciousness, granted him a Light Martial Soul, transferred her shattered divine position, and gave him the Angel Sacred Sword. 14 16

Lin Chen later settled his family vendetta by defeating Wang Lei and exterminating the Wang clan. The act fulfilled his vow but included indiscriminate killing of the clan's members, drawing Qian Renxue's disapproval. 56

During his later cultivation, Lin Chen inherited the Nine Kill Sword and an incomplete Sword God position from Chen Xin, the Seven Kill Sword's first owner. He was recognized as the ninth and final successor of the Seven Kill Sword lineage. 260

Appearance

Later in the story, Lin Chen develops white hair and is described as resembling a Sword Immortal. He can disguise it back to its original black color. 263 261

• Wields the Seven Kill Sword, later evolved into the Nine Kill Sword. 260
• Bears a God Ring imprint on his back as a successor of the Seven Kill Sword lineage. 340
• Possesses a Divine Armor after achieving Energy Armor Transformation. 317

Personality

Lin Chen is calm, confident, and observant. As a freshman, he correctly judged Huo Yuhao's determination over Wang Dong's arrogance and emphasized that victory depends on mentality and skill application rather than Soul Power alone. 2

He is protective of friends and acquaintances, helping Zhou Mingxing regain confidence, giving Soul Tools to Xiao Xiao for safety, planning for Tang Xiaoyan's future, and granting Zhou Mingxing a family token to deter hostile rivals. 2 22 61 231

His desire for vengeance can make him ruthless. He annihilated the Wang clan after defeating Wang Lei and later killed bandits threatening Taoyuan Village without mercy. 56 255

Lin Chen generally avoids political entanglements and refuses to be constrained by factions. He expresses a preference for personal freedom and, at one point, intends to travel the continent before becoming an ordinary Outer Court teacher. 83 230
