Background

Xiao Chen was originally reading Battle Through the Heavens at his computer before transmigrating into the body of Xiao Yan’s older brother, the Xiao Clan’s Third Young Master. He arrived three days after Nalan Yanran annulled Xiao Yan’s engagement; by then, Yao Lao had already attached himself to Xiao Yan and begun guiding him. The original Xiao Chen possessed mediocre talent and had only reached the third stage of Dou Zhi Qi. 1

His system binds his growth to Xiao Yan: whenever Xiao Yan gains strength, techniques, items, or favorable relationships, Xiao Chen receives amplified feedback. The system later extends this mechanism to people identified as Xiao Yan’s confidantes, allowing Xiao Chen to benefit from their advancement after drawing them to his side. 1 7 39

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rise within the Xiao Clan

After his immediate rise to three-star Dou Wang, Xiao Chen humiliates Xiao Ning, effortlessly defeats two fifth-stage Dou Zhi Qi disciples, and severely injures Xiao Ning when the latter launches a sneak attack. Xiao Xun'er intervenes on his behalf, while Xiao Zhan rejects the Great Elder’s demand to punish Xiao Chen. 1 2 3 7

Recognizing that Xiao Yan’s growth directly benefits him, Xiao Chen begins supplying his younger brother with cultivation resources. He purchases and gifts techniques including Blazing Palm, Cuiyan Palm, Purple Cloud Wings, and later Flame Dragon Palm, while arranging practical training in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. 4 5 11 15 29 45

Political Influence

Xiao Chen’s strength, magical-beast mount, and alchemical resources make him a figure pursued by the Jia Ma Empire royal family and the Misty Cloud Sect.

Personality

Xiao Chen is consistently calm, indifferent, and self-assured in the face of threats. He dismisses opponents far beneath his level, including Xiao Ning, mercenary leaders, Tier 6 magical beasts, and Queen Medusa. 1 15 25 33

Despite his aloof manner, he is protective and materially generous toward people he considers worth supporting. He repeatedly provides Xiao Yan with techniques, pills, training, and opportunities; he also cultivates Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Yao Ye, and Yao Yue. 24 44 48 58 60 64

He values independence and does not readily accept overtures from major factions. He refuses Yun Yun’s invitation to join the Misty Cloud Sect and later rejects gifts brought by Gu He and Nalan Yanran. 24 61 84
