Background

Song Shuhang began as an ordinary student in Jiangnan University’s Mechanical Engineering Department, Class 43 of the College of Mechanical Design and Manufacturing. Soft Feather investigated his personal information after meeting him, including his photograph and class schedule 14.

His entry into cultivation began through the Nine Provinces Number One Group, Soft Feather’s carefully prepared medicinal herbs, and the Body Tempering Liquid. The medicine purified his body, cured his nearsightedness and chronic pain, sharpened his senses, and forced him to accept that cultivation was real 30.

Although Soft Feather invited him to Spirit Butterfly Island, Shuhang refused to join a sect because he could not abandon his family or ordinary life. He instead chose the more difficult Rogue Cultivator path, receiving foundational techniques from Northern River’s Loose Cultivator and resources from Soft Feather 33.

His first killing came when he used Master Profound Principle’s invisible flying sword against the long-armed cultivator threatening Zhao Yaya. Shaken by the experience, Shuhang still accepted that he needed the resolve to kill when survival demanded it 75.

Appearance

Song Shuhang is a 182-centimeter-tall young man whose body-tempering altered his previously ordinary appearance. His skin became unusually fair, smooth, and healthy after consuming Body Tempering Liquid 30 564.

• Often described as handsome, masculine, or delicate-looking despite his strength 24 78.
• His cultivation-enhanced physique can appear deceptively slender while possessing overwhelming physical force 61.
• A dose of Dragon Demon Potion temporarily enlarged his body into an exaggeratedly muscular form while leaving his face unchanged 708.
• His Steel Hand technique can turn his hands—or his entire body while liquefied—black and metallic 547 1208.

Personality

Shuhang is curious, adaptable, and unusually willing to test the unknown. Rather than immediately asking the group how to refine Body Tempering Liquid, he chose to conduct an imperfect trial, record the results, and learn from failure 26. He repeatedly investigates dangerous inheritances and secret techniques despite painful consequences, particularly with his Appraisal Secret Technique 550 600.

He is bold without being wholly reckless. Medicine Master considers him “bold yet careful,” citing his decision to have a suspicious suitcase checked for traps before opening it 92. In combat, he can be decisive and intimidating when others threaten his friends or family, but he deliberately restrains himself against ordinary opponents 61 866.

His attachment to family heavily influences his choices. He rejected sect recruitment because he did not want to leave his parents, later promising to find a way for them to pursue cultivation despite their age 33 2531. He also increasingly takes responsibility for disciples, dependents, and companions under his care 1541 2360.

Shuhang has a mischievous streak. He accepted Joseph as a nominal disciple only after being relentlessly pursued, then taught him radio calisthenics under the grandiose name The Times Are Calling 105. His tendency to treat dire situations theatrically remains evident even at high realms 2115.

Abilities & Skills

Cultivation Techniques

Shuhang’s cultivation began with basic First-Grade methods and later expanded into an unusually broad, interconnected system.

• Vajra Foundation Fist — An eighteen-form foundational fist technique learned through a hypnotic manual that allowed him to observe a master’s movements directly 49.
• True Self Meditation Scripture — Guides Blood Qi into his apertures; his True Self appeared as a smiling, comforting version of himself, which Medicine Master interpreted as evidence of his kind nature 53.
• Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique — His principal beast-related cultivation method, originating from the Beast God Division of the Ancient Heavenly Court 564 940.

• Phantom Voice — A Mouth Aperture Talent that overlays illusions onto Shuhang’s voice, especially when used with the Lion’s Roar Technique 324.

• Fire-Control Art — Allows him to control flames and was originally practiced with Medicine Master’s Iron-Bone Folding Fan 105 261.
• Hair Growth and Hair Control Techniques — Can rapidly grow knee-length hair and manipulate it into numerous fist-like extensions 2301.

Appraisal Secret Technique

Shuhang’s eye-based appraisal ability reveals the history, identity, and hidden properties of objects.

• It first manifested through clock-like runes in his pupils within Time City 550.
• Each use inflicts severe physical injury, ranging from dozens to hundreds of wounds 550 600.
• The technique can identify major historical artifacts, including the Spirit Beast Chain of the Beast God Division 600.
• Its later variation, the Powerhouse Appraisal Technique, inflicts the sensation of pregnancy and childbirth on targets judged insufficiently “powerful” 1622.

Spirit Ghost and Core World

Shuhang’s Spirit Ghost and Core World are central to his survival and abnormal cultivation.

• His Spirit Ghost can independently defend him, convert stored Blood Qi into shields, consume curses, and return spiritual energy to him 200 2016.
• The Core World functions as a personal internal world capable of storing items, sheltering allies, and enabling unconventional transport across spaces 893 1047.
