Background / History

Golden Crocodile is Jin Yan's sole remaining grandfather. He personally brings Jin Yan to the Worship Hall for his martial-soul awakening and is overwhelmed with pride when Jin Yan's Golden Crocodile King mutates beneficially into the Golden Dragon Crocodile. He immediately promises to lead the hunt for Jin Yan's first spirit ring himself 2.

He maintains a hidden underground treasury beneath his backyard, containing weapons, crystals, herbs, artworks, and soul bones. From this treasury, he gives Jin Yan the hundred-thousand-year golden right-arm soul bone that he obtained upon becoming a Title Douluo 5.

Unable to advance beyond level 98 for a long time, Golden Crocodile investigates Jin Yan's proposed Soul Core cultivation method at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After personally testing it, he chooses to prove its value through his own breakthrough before reporting the method to Qian Daoliu 46 47. He subsequently reaches level 99 and becomes a Limit Douluo 48.

Appearance

When fighting, Golden Crocodile manifests the Golden Crocodile King martial soul and takes on distinctly bestial traits.

• Dense golden scales cover his body 12.
• A thick, heavy crocodile tail manifests behind him 12.
• His martial-soul phantom is a colossal Golden Crocodile King 6 51.
• He has white brows and an elderly appearance marked by wrinkles 6.

Personality

Golden Crocodile is fiercely protective and indulgent toward Jin Yan. He takes personal responsibility for Jin Yan's training, spirit-ring hunts, resources, and safety, while openly expressing pride in his grandson's extraordinary potential 2 5 6 11.

He is also decisive and ruthless toward threats. When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect pursues the Nine-Heart Begonia Family, he shows no patience for excuses and attacks the opposing soul masters outright 12. His confidence after becoming a Limit Douluo is similarly uncompromising; he openly challenges Bibi Dong's ability to object to Qian Renxue's decisions 71.

Despite his strength, he is cautious regarding major cultivation innovations. He initially questions Soul Core cultivation and decides to verify it through his own breakthrough before presenting it to the Grand Pontiff 46 47.
