Background / History

Liu Kun and Chen Feng have been inseparable since elementary school, when Chen Feng and his father saved Liu Kun after he fell into the water. At school, Chen Feng is described as his only friend; Liu Kun often treats him to meals due to his well-off family background 7.

He developed feelings for class monitor Liu Xueping after intervening when Zhang Wei assaulted her. Liu Kun helped her to the hospital, obtained leads on Zhang Wei, and referred to her more intimately as “Xueping” afterward 7 8. He was later kidnapped in Wolong City, prompting Chen Feng to search for him 54.

After returning to the Liu Family, Liu Kun underwent harsh training to qualify for the Ghost Swordsman inheritance planned by his grandfather. The inheritance requires a sufficiently strong Constitution to withstand the mutated Ghost Hand, so Liu Kun sought power through other means first 138. He chose the Spirit Light Orb despite its risks, gaining the Spirit Wave Fist inheritance and a foundation in Spiritual Power 138 139.

Appearance

At school, Liu Kun is a short, heavily built teenager—about 5'7" and nearly 200 pounds—whose physique earned him the nickname “Fatty Kun” 7.

• Has a notably chubby build in his everyday appearance 7.
• Uses Character Image Sculpting Cards in Reincarnation Worlds to appear exceptionally handsome 181 213.
• His Reincarnation Sacred Hall name, Reincarnation Supreme, contrasts conspicuously with his ordinary appearance 117 139.

Personality

Liu Kun is talkative, impulsive, and openly envious of other Reincarnators’ gains. He initially reacts bitterly to Chen Feng’s sudden increase in Strength, yet quickly asks Chen Feng to carry him through future worlds rather than letting jealousy damage their friendship 7 9.

He is protective of people he cares about, charging Zhang Wei when Liu Xueping was attacked despite the apparent difference in strength. He also has the determination to endure severe family training and the Spirit Light Orb’s inheritance pain in pursuit of greater power 7 138.

His ambition is often tied to his rivalry with Nalan Bing. After being pressured into an engagement arrangement, he resolves to grow strong enough to defeat her and break it off, though he remains outmatched by her tactics in their confrontation 120 203.
