Background / History

Xiao Chuan was born into the Xiao Clan and left Wutan City to adventure before returning as a young Dou King. His return transforms the Xiao Clan's standing in Wutan City, drawing the attention of local powers and earning Xiao Zhan's pride. He had known Xiao Xun'er since she arrived at the clan as a child and had helped her become familiar with the Xiao Clan. 3

He possesses the Brother Relies on Brother System, which grants him cultivation, alchemy, soul-power, and technique feedback whenever Xiao Yan advances. The system also raises techniques beyond their original grade and mastery, allowing Xiao Chuan to wield adjusted versions of high-tier techniques without the usual fatal backlash. 1 18

He initially treats Xiao Yan with some distance, but increasingly invests in his brother's growth: funding his alchemy, obtaining resources and opportunities, sending rare Dou Techniques, and later guiding his alchemy personally. Xiao Yan's progress is the foundation of Xiao Chuan's own rapid advancement. 3 6 17 107

After establishing influence in the Jia Ma Empire and Black-Corner Region, Xiao Chuan builds the Mittal Auction House into a Central Plains power and gathers major allies, including the Three Pavilions and the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Clan. He eventually becomes Xiao Clan Leader after awakening the clan's bloodline, then leads the clan beyond the Dou Qi Continent toward the Great Thousand World. 107 109 132 166

Personality

Xiao Chuan is confident, calculating, and unusually direct. He often treats power, resources, and alliances as practical tools, pressuring opponents into submission while rewarding useful allies with pills, protection, or status. 30 46 170 173

He is fiercely protective of people he considers his own. He destroys threats to the Xiao Clan, supports Xiao Yan's cultivation at every stage, rescues allies under attack, and takes responsibility for his children's development after awakening their Xiao Clan bloodline. 13 17 100 165

His mercy is conditional. Xiao Chuan can spare those who have not harmed his family, but he readily kills or cripples enemies he considers future threats, disrespectful opponents, and those who refuse his demands. 13 16 65 71
