Background

Du Meng met Qin Shaofeng while traveling toward Lianyang Academy. Despite being only fourteen, he was nearly two meters tall, heavily muscled, and already a Houtian Tenth Layer cultivator. His reserved, unpretentious attitude led Qin Shaofeng to call him “Mengzi,” while Du Meng began addressing him as “Brother Feng.” 38 39

He was a pre-selected disciple of a powerful master, which prevented Lianyang Academy powerhouses from competing to recruit him during the enrollment assessment. His cultivation centered on a harsh body-tempering method that improved his physique through punishment and injury; Qin Shaofeng’s Lightning Armor unexpectedly became another means of tempering him. 41 42

After becoming strong enough in the Spirit Garden, Du Meng formally entered his master’s tutelage and left Lianyang Academy for special cultivation. He later became an Inheritor Disciple of the Thousand Mountain Sect under Sect Master Xiang Wanshan before ultimately joining the Mad God Hall of the Two Palaces and Three Sects. 148 458 1274

Appearance

Du Meng is a towering, powerfully built young man whose physique is repeatedly mistaken for that of an adult despite his age. By the Human-Demon Competition, his body had grown beyond two meters tall, with massive muscles that appeared cast from molten copper and carried a faint glazed sheen. 38 1137

• Nearly two meters tall at age fourteen 38
• Explosive musculature and exceptional natural physical strength 38
• Later described as over two meters tall, with a wild and imposing aura 1137
• Possesses a body-protection radiance that develops from pale gold into Law-infused defensive light 109 1139

Personality

Du Meng is introverted, honest, and straightforward outside combat. He does not look down on weaker people and readily trusted Qin Shaofeng’s guidance, including difficult cultivation methods and dangerous hunting strategies. 39 53 78

In battle, he is fierce, impatient, and exhilarated by strong opponents. Constant combat sharpens rather than clouds his judgment: the more excited he becomes, the calmer and more focused he is in a fight. He is highly protective of Qin Shaofeng and reacts intensely to anyone he considers a threat or traitor to him. 50 98 508

Abilities & Skills

Nine Revolutions Undying Hegemonic Body

Du Meng’s defining Talent Skill evolved from the Nine Revolutions Hegemonic Body after his transformation into a Demon Vassal. It is a God-grade active skill built around extreme durability, regeneration, and physical combat power. 309

• Its first revolution rapidly healed severe wounds and dramatically strengthened his aura. 100
• At its initial Talent Skill stage, it could ignore most attacks from cultivators of the same realm. 101
• Its early body-protection golden light neutralized repeated attacks from Yu Yixing’s Divine Wind Iron Fist. 109
• At maximum level, it generated Undying Body Protection Light, a Law-infused defensive radiance that observers judged nearly impossible for anyone below the Sovereign Realm to harm. 1138 1139
• Its power comes at a high energy cost; before later advancements, maintaining it in close combat could consume hundreds of thousands of Spiritual Qi per minute. 326

Five Elements Hegemonic Body

His Spiritual Root began as Earth, later awakened Metal, Water, and Wood, and ultimately evolved into the Five Elements Hegemonic Body through the vassal transformation. 38 250 309 529 583

• Possesses the reincarnation power of the Five Elements and is described as capable of reaching the Demon God Position. 309
• Greatly increases his energy reserves, physical strength, and aptitude for body-tempering cultivation. 309 344
• Reached the Five Elements United state by the late Nirvana Realm. 1138

Undying Giant

Du Meng’s Sharingan evolved in accordance with his physique rather than producing a conventional Susanoo. He can enlarge his own body into a giant combat form he named Undying Giant. 1936

• Turns Du Meng himself into the equivalent of a giant Susanoo. 1936
• Complements his body-tempering techniques and close-quarters fighting style. 1936

Combat Prowess

Du Meng specializes in direct, overwhelming physical combat, combining exceptional resilience with sharp instincts against dangerous opponents. 57 98

• Can manifest Inner Qi over his fists as pale yellow, glove-like protection. 57
• Withstood the weapon Cold Star, despite it being designed to pierce Innate Inner Qi. 57
• Defeated opponents above his apparent realm, including easily overpowering Xiantian Martial Master Yue Tao while still classed as a Houtian Martial Artist. 88
• Fought Tang Qijian to an inconclusive result at the Nirvana Realm, as Tang’s Law-infused sword qi could not overcome his defense. 1139
• Activated the Glazed Golden Body to produce 40 million jin of force under Nirvana Realm suppression. 1278

Shared Skills

As Qin Shaofeng’s Vassal, Du Meng received several shared techniques suited to his combat style. 310 344

• Yi Jin Jing — Multiplies his Qi, Spiritual Qi, and Origin Power reserves. 344 583
• Little Li Flying Dagger — Gives the otherwise close-range fighter a ranged attack option. 310 344
• Dance of the Sky Technique — A movement technique particularly suited to his large physique. 310

Equipment & Familiars

• Substitute Doll — A blood-bound doll given by Qin Shaofeng that can block one fatal strike; it was implied to have preserved Du Meng during his life-and-death duel with Tang Qijian. 508 526
• Earth Bear “Big Meng” — Du Meng’s familiar. It reached Earth Origin Realm Seventh Layer alongside him and later advanced to Nirvana Realm Tenth Layer. 344 529 1138

Relationships

• Qin Shaofeng — Closest friend, “Brother Feng,” and later his master as a Demon Vassal. Du Meng trusts Qin Shaofeng deeply and is fiercely protective of him. 39 309 508
• Tang Qijian — Brother-in-arms and recurring rival. Tang defeated him during the academy arena competition, later became a fellow Vassal, and fought him repeatedly as an equal. 100 309 1138 1139
• Zhao Yun'er — His Martial Aunt. She protects and disciplines him, including intervening when North Sea Pavilion members threatened him. 88 92
• Xiang Wanshan — Sect Master of the Thousand Mountain Sect and Du Meng’s master during his time at the Five Spirit Peaks. 458
• Xiang Qianqian — Companion during his later cultivation and Spirit trials. 540 584
• Earth Bear “Big Meng” — His familiar and combat companion. 344 529

Story Role / Major Arcs

Lianyang Academy

Du Meng drew attention as a fourteen-year-old Houtian Tenth Layer genius during Lianyang Academy’s assessment, where he completed the seventh strength-assessment level in under fifteen minutes. 42 44

He partnered with Qin Shaofeng on promotion quests, trained in the Demonic Beast Forest, and fought off opponents targeting Qin Shaofeng. His duel with Wang Wenhao demonstrated that his defense could endure Cold Star’s weaponized blades, though he sustained injuries to his hands and bones. 53 57 58 78

Arena Competition

Du Meng became one of the strongest competitors in Arena Number Three, reaching thirty-nine consecutive victories before facing Tang Qijian. Tang’s Seven Kill Sword Art badly injured him, but the pressure triggered the first revolution of his Nine Revolutions Hegemonic Body. 98 100

He later faced Yu Yixing and endured repeated Divine Wind Iron Fist attacks with his newly formed golden body-protection light. He eventually conceded after exhausting his Inner Qi, satisfied with the battle despite the crowd’s expectations. 108 109

Vassal Transformation and Thousand Mountain Sect

After competing against Tang Qijian for the second-brother position, Du Meng accepted Qin Shaofeng’s King’s Blessing and became a Demon Vassal. The transformation elevated him to the Legend Realm and evolved both his Spiritual Root and signature body-tempering skill. 309

He later challenged Tang Qijian to a life-and-death duel after believing Tang had betrayed Qin Shaofeng by accepting Xu Feiyang as a master. Qin Shaofeng had secretly given both fighters Substitute Dolls, allowing Du Meng to survive the confrontation. 508 510 526

Human-Demon Competition

By the Human-Demon Competition, Du Meng had reached late Nirvana Realm Tenth Layer, condensed twelve Law Pills, and brought Big Meng to the same realm. His defensive power matched Tang Qijian’s destructive swordsmanship closely enough that neither could defeat the other. 1138 1139

All-Around Competition

Now a Sovereign Realm cultivator, Du Meng entered the strength competition as a disciple of Mad God Hall. Under Nirvana Realm suppression, he used the Glazed Golden Body to strike the testing boulder with 40 million jin of force, implicitly challenging Qin Shaofeng. 1274 1278
