Background / History

Unrivaled Thief was a six-year-old child when he received the Fruit Treasure System, which rewards completed tasks with lottery draws for items, techniques, wealth, mechs, and Martial Souls. His first gift package supplied four Martial Souls modeled after the Four Great Evil Bandits’ mechs. Rather than monopolizing them, he planned to distribute them among himself and his three younger brothers. 1

After awakening top-grade Martial Souls with his brothers, he negotiated with Martial Soul Hall executors before agreeing to join them. His final condition was an investigation into his parents’ deaths, which he suspected were caused by people rather than Soul Beasts. 2 He later learned that Flender and Ma Hongjun were implicated in the deaths, turning his pursuit of the truth into a revenge campaign. 10 13

He rejected Bibi Dong’s offer of discipleship and instead chose Qian Daoliu as his master, obtaining the combat experience of the original Fruit Force Unrivaled Thief through the system. 5 Martial Soul Hall subsequently named him its Holy Son, a position equivalent to a Martial Soul Hall Venerable. 10

After leaving Martial Soul Hall to train, he returned to Soto City with his brothers, took control of Flender’s shop, and formed a group that eventually included Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. 11 13 14 23 He later entered Slaughter City under the designation 9527, where he completed ten Hell Slaughter Arena victories in a single day and acquired the Slaughter God’s Domain. 65 69 79

His later campaigns escalated from conflicts with sects and Soul Master factions to the systematic hunting of powerful Soul Beasts for Soul Rings and Spirit Bones. He defeated Di Tian and other fierce beasts, absorbed their resources, and continued pursuing power sufficient to confront the God Realm. 192 202

Personality

Unrivaled Thief is calculating, confrontational, and intensely pragmatic. He frequently provokes opponents into unfavorable decisions, such as manipulating Yan into suppressing his Soul Power and turning Slaughter City’s rules to his advantage. 8 68 69 He prefers direct force once he has secured an opening, describing his ideal combat philosophy as breaking every technique with one punch. 4

He is protective of his brothers and assumes responsibility for their growth, even arranging difficult soul duels to force them to gain real combat experience. 7 16 Their sacrifice devastates him, exposing the depth of his attachment beneath his usual confidence and mockery. 181 182

His pursuit of revenge can become merciless. He killed enemies and destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and its city while declaring weakness a crime, though Qian Daoliu intervened before he extended the destruction to additional cities. 189 He nevertheless shows occasional restraint, notably sparing Zhu Zhuqing when he first found her in his home. 11
