Background

Xiao Chen transmigrated into the world of Battle Through the Heavens and became the grandson of the Xiao Clan's First Elder. Before his arrival, the body’s original owner had once been the clan’s leading young genius, reaching nine-star Dou Practitioner, but had fallen to the third stage of Dou Disciple over the following three years. 1

His cousin Xiao Ning, jealous of the First Elder’s continued affection for Xiao Chen, lured him into the Magical Beast Mountain Range and abandoned him there. Facing the fifth-tier Black Scale Python, Xiao Chen activated the Daily Copy System, copied Yun Yun’s three-star Dou Emperor strength, and killed the beast in one strike. 1

Xiao Ning later attempted to lure him into the mountains again. Xiao Chen turned the scheme back on him by leaving him to the Iron Thread Python; Xiao Ning subsequently died from a fifth-tier magical beast attack. Xiao Chen concealed his involvement and publicly feigned grief. 2 6

Appearance

A youth estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, Xiao Chen is described as having refined features and is seen wearing black robes during his arrival at the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. 6 16

• Usually presents himself calmly, even when his concealed strength is suspected.
• Can manifest luminous Dou Qi Wings while flying. 2
• Often carries medicinal pills, techniques, or other system-derived gains in his robes. 4 12

Personality

Xiao Chen is composed, guarded, and highly calculating. He avoids revealing the source of his strength, lets others speculate about a powerful master behind him, and uses gifts or business dealings to create advantageous connections. 4 5 7

He is also ruthless toward enemies. He deliberately allowed Xiao Ning to face the Iron Thread Python, killed Jialie Ao and fed the corpse to dogs, and executed the Snake-Person Tribe’s Great Elder despite the latter’s pleas for mercy. 2 9 18

Despite this cruelty, he is protective of those he accepts as his own. He rescued Qing Lin from harassment, personally cultivated her, and refused to leave Shimo City because Queen Medusa might target Xiao Ding and Xiao Li in his absence. 13 16 19
