Background / History

Situ Xuan originated from Aolai City and began with only level-three Innate Soul Power. Even as a child, he stood out physically and emotionally: he was already 1.7 meters tall when leaving for Donghai Academy, spoke little, and kept others at a distance. 5 25

At the Spirit Tower, he drew and absorbed a century-level Little Black Tiger spirit. Rather than reject the baleful energy generated by his Black Heart Evil Palm, the spirit accepted it and became more ferocious, allowing Situ Xuan to enter the one-ring Soul Master stage. 3

His ruthlessness is partly tied to a past life spent in underground boxing. He follows a simple personal rule: he does not seek trouble without cause, but demands repayment when others provoke him or threaten his interests. 328

Appearance

Situ Xuan grows from an unusually tall, broad-shouldered child into a nearly two-meter-tall young man with a powerful, heavily tempered physique. His body is marked by the scars of constant training and battle. 5 171 205

• Black hair and black eyes; his pupils can become amber and vertical while using certain powers. 163 586
• Bronze skin with a metallic sheen and pronounced musculature. 398 616
• Broad shoulders, a tapered waist, long legs, and a body repeatedly compared to a mountain, tiger, or unsheathed blade. 510 516 616
• Golden patterns can emerge beneath his skin when his Body Martial Soul or higher cultivation is active. 17 762
• Carries a restrained but oppressive aura, with lingering Malevolent Qi even when outwardly calm. 43 398

Personality

Situ Xuan is solitary, self-reliant, and intensely focused on personal strength. He considers dependence on others a source of pain and negative emotion, choosing instead to rely on himself and accept the consequences of his own path. 24

He is practical rather than idealistic. When invited to join the Tang Sect, he evaluated its resources, obligations, hierarchy, and restrictions instead of accepting appeals to loyalty or prestige. He later admitted that he joined the Body Sect for its resources, protection, and the legitimacy of having a master. 65 453

In combat, Situ Xuan is calm, brutal, and often exhilarated by danger. Pain and injury can intensify his conviction and Exo-Energy, though this battle hunger has also made him frighteningly reckless. 305 537 760 Despite his coldness, he shows patience toward people he accepts, including Yuanen Yehui, Mu Ye, Wang Dongchen, and Vassago. 507 551 724

Abilities & Skills

Body Martial Soul

Situ Xuan's Martial Soul is his own body. Its enhancements make every part of him a weapon and allow him to fight without relying on conventional weapons or flashy soul skills. 17 622

• His first soul skill increases his physical constitution by 20%. 25
• His body can endure attacks that would destroy steel, including Li Qingfeng's Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. 236

• At higher stages, his body rapidly heals broken bones and severe wounds. 354 586

Fist of the North Star / Hokuto Shinken

Situ Xuan's core fighting art emphasizes force, speed, secret acupoints, and vital points. He can disable an opponent's soul power circulation or bodily movement through precise strikes. 19 84

Black Heart Evil Palm

A sinister martial art that produces Malevolent Qi and can be used for offense, defense, suppression, and environmental control. Its cultivation is physically agonizing and carries the danger of corruptive battle intent. 12 72

Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique

Situ Xuan's body-tempering and movement art continuously excavates the potential of his Body Martial Soul. He believes it can enable multiple awakenings beyond the normal limits of Body Martial Souls. 68

• Wind Walk / Wind Shadow Step — High-speed movement techniques; his insight into them allowed him to evade Lei Dong's Thunderstorm Domain and counterattack. 103 161
• Dragon-Turning Breathing Method — Refines his body and helps him avoid or neutralize attacks, including sonic and lightning-based assaults. 174 282 296
• Healing — Clears stagnant blood, corrects disrupted energy flow, and restores injured allies such as Tang Wulin and Gu Yue. 97
• Seven-Turn Myriad Phenomena — Allows him to merge with the environment and wield wind, clouds, thunder, lightning, mountains, and earth as extensions of his body. 762 763

Eight Extremes Heaven

An ultimate combat system learned through 548 nights of sparring against a phantom from the Bronze Book. Situ Xuan did not merely imitate it; he integrated its principles with Hokuto Shinken, Black Heart Evil Palm, and the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique. 174

• First Form: Violent Foot — Explosive leg power that produces movement beyond visual perception. 236 281
• Second Form: Sheath Breaker — Compresses force into a finger strike capable of piercing defenses and disrupting opponents from within. 236
• Third Form: Earth Cage Domain — A domain-style technique used to confront concentrated elemental attacks. 244

Soul Spirits and Transformations

• Roaring Forest Black Tiger Transformation — A tiger-based transformation that augments his Malevolent Qi and physical combat power. 579 796
• Heaven Burning Fierce Phoenix Transformation — A phoenix-based transformation that merges divine fire with his physical strength. 579 796

Exo-Energy

Situ Xuan's conviction and battle intent create Exo-Energy that strengthens him as he fights, especially when injured. 760

• Rapidly improves his healing, physical resilience, and combat power during prolonged battles. 760 844
• Can drive him toward dangerous exhilaration and reduced restraint in combat. 305 537
• At his peak, it supports the fusion of Soul Power, Blood Qi, Battle Qi, physical force, and killing intent. 864

Relationships

Story Role / Major Arcs

Donghai Academy

Situ Xuan enters Donghai Academy as an unusually formidable first-year student, challenges Long Xiuyuan, and proves capable of forcing his teacher to take him seriously despite having low Innate Soul Power. 6 7 He later joins Zero Class but insists on controlling his own training schedule and operates as a “free agent” rather than a conventional teammate. 25 41

Body Sect and Sun Moon Academy

Mu Ye recruits Situ Xuan as a Body Sect disciple after recognizing his potential to revive the sect. Situ Xuan accepts a path that grants him both the Body Sect's inheritance and Sun Moon Academy's resources. 96 101 117

At Sun Moon Academy, Situ Xuan imposes brutal training on the freshmen and overturns the academy's entrenched seniority system. His followers become known as the Crows, though the Crow Empire is later revealed to have been founded by Wang Dongchen rather than Situ Xuan himself. 148 151 738

Martial Dao Development

Situ Xuan spends 548 nights learning Eight Extremes Heaven from a Bronze Book phantom, eventually combining it with his existing martial arts rather than becoming a mere imitator. 174 He later establishes his own martial framework: the body is the foundation, while his various arts are techniques used to express that perfected body. 347

Spirit Pagoda and Star Luo Empire

During trials at the Soul Spirit Pagoda, Situ Xuan defeats the Thunder Beast and the Golden Lion Mastiff, demonstrating power that forces Gu Yue and Spirit Pagoda figures to reassess him. 298 308 In the Star Luo Empire, he accepts Sima Lanxiao's contract to kill Xie Chen in exchange for soul bones, Soul Beast Graveyards, and a favor from the Sima Family. 506

Demon Plane and Return

Situ Xuan is displaced into another time and space, where Vassago identifies him as a person who does not belong to that era. 715 His actions alter the stars' trajectories before the Star Sea Whale returns him to the Douluo Plane through the Dragon Tomb. 729 He later reunites with Yuanen Yehui and returns to Sun Moon Academy after a three-year absence. 734

Seven-Turn Myriad Phenomena

While fighting Guan Yue and Dong Zi'an, Situ Xuan is pushed to the brink and completes the Seven-Turn Myriad Phenomena realm. He merges with heaven and earth, then defeats both opponents through a direct confrontation rather than waiting for their strength to fade. 760 762 763

Unification Campaign

Situ Xuan ultimately plans to unify Douluo Planet through simultaneous wars against the Heaven Dou Federation and Star Luo Empire. 826 He becomes a central authority in the Sun Moon Federation's military and political campaigns while still openly preferring battle to administrative work. 846 781
