Background

Su Chen’s story begins not in the world of the Douluo Continent, but with the trauma of transmigration. Waking in the narrow room of a Spirit City orphanage, a six-year-old boy named Su Chen is flooded with the memories of his former life and the harsh reality of his new one. He is an orphan, abandoned in a war-torn border village and later rescued by a passing deacon of the Spirit Hall, the dominant power of the continent 1. Now, on the eve of the annual Martial Soul Awakening Day, he understands the brutal equation of this world: without a powerful martial soul, his fate is sealed — he will be assigned to a remote branch hall as a low-level deacon, a life of obscurity and powerlessness he refuses to accept 1 2. It is at this moment of resolve that the God-Level Choice System binds to him, a mechanical voice confirming the fusion and presenting him with a path to transcend his origins 1. The system offers three options, each with different rewards and consequences. Su Chen, driven by the determination to control his own destiny and break the cycle of commoner insignificance, chooses the most challenging path: Option 3, which will force him to confront the highest authorities of the Spirit Hall and seize a god-level foundation 1 2. This choice is not born of reckless ambition but of a cold calculation: he knows that only by standing out — by shocking the higher-ups with impossible talent — can he secure the resources and protection needed to rise from his orphaned beginnings and rewrite the fate of the continent itself 1 3. His motivation is clear: to avoid being “cannon fodder at the bottom” and to gain the power and status that would allow him to shape his own life, a goal that soon manifests in the awakening of twin supreme martial souls and an innate soul power of level twenty 2 3.

His subsequent rise transforms him from Spirit Hall’s unprecedented Holy Son into the supreme authority of Heaven Dou. By the time of the Heaven Dou palace coup, he has become powerful enough to intervene directly in imperial succession, rescue Qian Renxue, and crush Prince Xue Xing’s attempt to seize the throne 87. Later references identify him as Emperor Su Chen, with the five women closest to him residing at his side 97. His ambitions also extend beyond domestic rule: he treats the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Sea God Island, Star Luo Empire, and the divine forces behind the continent’s conflicts as obstacles to be removed or subdued 69 97 102 126.

Plot Summary

The story begins at the annual Martial Soul awakening ceremony in Spirit City, where Su Chen, an orphan, attends alongside hundreds of other children hoping to awaken powerful martial souls and secure a better future 2. Cardinal Sino presides over the ceremony, warning that only those who awaken with soul power may remain in the city 2. While most children awaken trash martial souls or possess no soul power, Su Chen's awakening triggers a massive celestial phenomenon — he manifests twin supreme martial souls: the Judgment Holy Sword, wielding light and fire attributes, and the God-Slaying Magic Spear, radiating darkness and destruction 3. Furthermore, he demonstrates level twenty Innate Full Soul Power, shattering the high-level crystal ball used for measurement 3. The awakening formation itself collapses and its six awakening stones turn to dust 3. Sino, recognizing the unprecedented nature of this event, orders the plaza sealed to prevent news from leaking, anticipating assassination attempts from rival empires 3.

The energy surge from Su Chen's awakening alarms the Elder Hall, drawing several Titled Douluo to the Awakening Plaza 4. Pope Bibi Dong arrives and immediately claims Su Chen as her personal disciple, bypassing the Elder Hall's authority and asserting dominance over the power struggle between the Pope Palace and the Elder Hall 4. Shortly after, Qian Daoliu, the Great Elder of the Worship Hall, appears with a divine aura that subdues everyone present, including Bibi Dong 5. He expresses interest in Su Chen's Judgment Holy Sword due to its shared Ultimate Light attribute with his Angel lineage and insists on taking Su Chen to the Worship Hall for cultivation, also seeking to "purify" the dark God-Slaying Magic Spear 5. However, Su Chen publicly refuses Qian Daoliu's offer, choosing to align himself with the Pope Palace faction instead, a decision Bibi Dong supports wholeheartedly 6. Qian Daoliu ultimately respects the choice and leaves without escalating the conflict 6.

Su Chen officially becomes Bibi Dong's disciple in the Pope Palace, where he is tested and receives the Pope Token, granting him authority over any personnel below the rank of Cardinal and free access throughout most of Spirit Hall 7. During this meeting, he demonstrates materialized spiritual power — an ability that shocks Bibi Dong, as it allows him to form a tangible physical defense with his mind, a feat normally only possible for peak Title Douluo 7. This materialized spiritual power eliminates the greatest danger of cultivating Twin Martial Souls, as Su Chen can now suppress any conflict between his two opposing attributes 7. Bibi Dong announces that she will propose Su Chen as the Holy Son in three days, and he is taken to the Cloud Condensing Pavilion to begin his seclusion 7.

During seclusion, Su Chen absorbs a Marrow Cleansing Pill, which dramatically improves his physique, increasing his physical strength to exceed two thousand jin and refining his soul power to the peak of Innate Full Soul 9. On the third day, he attends a high-level meeting at the Elder Hall's assembly chamber, where Bibi Dong announces his appointment as the Holy Son 9. However, the Elder Hall resists this decision, with Golden Crocodile Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo expressing skepticism about Su Chen's abilities 10. Golden Crocodile Douluo proposes that Su Chen prove his worth by defeating elite students from Martial Soul Academy on the Central Martial Arena, a challenge Su Chen accepts 10. The terms are set: if he wins, no one will question his status; if he loses, he will step down and perform chores at the lowest-level branch of Spirit Hall 10.

The pivotal confrontation occurs when Su Chen faces Hu Liena, one of Martial Soul Academy's strongest elite students, on the Adamantite Arena 14. In a single move, Su Chen shatters Hu Liena's defense, causing a massive explosion on the arena floor and overwhelming her completely without even using his Twin Martial Souls 14. Golden Crocodile Douluo acknowledges Su Chen's victory, and his status as Holy Son is thoroughly solidified 14. Following this, Bibi Dong arranges for Su Chen to absorb a four-hundred-year Light Unicorn for his first soul ring, but he insists on obtaining a thousand-year spirit beast instead, arguing that conventional theories do not apply to him 14. Bibi Dong ultimately agrees and arranges for Chrysanthemum Douluo (Yue Guan) and Ghost Douluo (Gui Mei) to accompany him to the Star Dou Great Forest 14.

After completing his seclusion and refining his Innate Full Soul Power to its peak, Su Chen's position receives recognition from the highest levels of Spirit Hall, with Qian Daoliu issuing a decree to protect and support him 15. Bibi Dong prepares for the Grand Investiture Ceremony, inviting dignitaries from across the continent — including representatives from high-level Soul Master Academies, the royal families of the two great empires, and the Lower Four Sects — while reinforcing security measures throughout Spirit City 15. During the ceremony, Su Chen descends the steps of the Pope Palace with composure and power, demonstrating his authority before the assembled crowd 16. When a hidden attack comes from the Heaven Dou Empire, Su Chen retaliates instantly, injuring a high-level Soul Douluo 16. Bibi Dong formally announces Su Chen as the Holy Son, revealing his twin god-level martial souls and level twenty Innate Full Soul Power to the gathered representatives, who react with both awe and fear 16.

Immediately after the ceremony, Su Chen decides to leave for the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his first soul ring, aiming for a fifteen-hundred-year soul beast despite the immense risk 16. Bibi Dong orders Yue Guan and Gui Mei to escort him and assist in capturing any soul beast he targets, even at the ten-thousand-year level 16. In the forest, Su Chen uses a system-issued High-Rank Soul Beast Precision Radar to locate a suitable target — a 2,500-year-old mutated Dark Nightmare Demon Tiger that is compatible with his Ultimate Darkness attribute 17. He successfully absorbs the mutated soul ring, which is far beyond the normal limit for a first ring, demonstrating incredible resilience and power 19. The absorption grants him the qualifications to advance beyond Soul Master and attracts a top-tier evil beast of over fifty thousand years due to the Dark Nightmare Demon Tiger’s ancient bloodline trace 19. Su Chen’s god-tier darkness skill helps restrain the descended Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger, allowing his escorts to destroy it; afterward, he acquires its external soul bone, the Dark Red Dragon Wings 20.

Su Chen refuses to stop at a single abnormal ring. Using the radar again, he locates a 6,300-year-old Holy Radiant Unicorn near the Star Dou Great Forest’s Core Zone and acquires it as his second soul ring despite Yue Guan and Gui Mei’s objections 21. Upon returning to Spirit City, he has obtained two spirit rings — one over 2,500 years old and another over 6,300 years old — both far exceeding the conventional age limits for a Soul Grandmaster 23. His light attribute affinity has increased to 100%, and Heavenly Kingdom Judgment has evolved into a god-level skill 23. Bibi Dong's respect and trust in Su Chen increase significantly, leading her to grant him full access to Spirit Hall's resources 23. With his power solidified, Su Chen sets his sights on Nuoding City, where he plans to expose and confront Yu Xiaogang, the man who had plagiarized knowledge and built a false reputation as the Grandmaster 23. Arriving in Nuoding City, Su Chen demonstrates his authority by sealing the city gates and clearing the streets, then summons the local Spirit Hall officials 24. He discovers that Tang San, Yu Xiaogang's disciple, possesses Twin Martial Souls — with Blue Silver Grass being one of them — and deduces that Yu Xiaogang's theories are built on plagiarized work 24. He subsequently defeats Tang San barehanded, shatters Tang San’s hidden weapons, and leaves him unconscious after the latter attempts a final attack 26.

At Nuoding Academy, Su Chen becomes involved with the work-study students of Dorm Seven and Xiao Wu, while Tang San’s resentment develops into open hostility 26 27. Tang San later challenges him to a three-day duel, using poisoned arrows and hidden weapons; Su Chen easily disarms him and warns him against targeting those around him 33. Su Chen’s growing authority is further demonstrated during a special recruitment assessment in Suotuo City. He defeats the level-29 tool-spirit master Lu Qingci without manifesting his martial souls, exposes her connection to Vice Hall Master Han Su, and uses the Pope Token Deputy Plate to force Han Su to obey the assessment rules 40 41. When his soul power is tested, he shatters an ordinary Soul-Testing Stone, then records level thirty-nine with perfect control on a higher-grade stone 42.

Su Chen’s political influence expands into Heaven Dou City. He confronts the Heaven Dou Royal Academy committee and defeats Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin — three Soul Douluo — with a single palm strike, shattering their kneecaps 61. He then confronts Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin, exposing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Seven Ring Curse and revealing the possibility that its Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda 64. In parallel, he moves against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after learning that Yu Yuanzhen seeks Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer. He sends Hu Liena to encircle the clan’s auxiliary soul-hunting camp, while Ning Rongrong later returns with the severed head of the clan leader and formally swears allegiance to him 69 72.

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Su Chen easily disperses Dugu Bo’s barrier and claims access to its immortal-herb treasure ground 74. He uses the site’s resources to advance his followers: Hu Liena’s Demon Fox evolves into a Heavenly Fox, while Ning Rongrong’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolves into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda 78. Su Chen then tempers his own body through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, successfully cultivating the Ice and Fire Golden Body and reaching level sixty-eight soul power 82. Shortly afterward, he confronts Rank 92 Yu Luomian, catches the latter’s Thunder Dragon Claw barehanded, and defeats him with a single punch after becoming a Title Douluo 83 84.

The ensuing Heaven Dou palace coup cements Su Chen’s dominance over the empire. After Qian Renxue alerts him that Prince Xue Xing and General Ge Long are moving while Emperor Xue Ye is critically ill, Su Chen defeats Ge Long’s strongest attack with one finger, kills the Soul Saint guards in the Main Hall, and rescues Qian Renxue 84 87. Prince Xue Xing’s attempted usurpation ends in humiliation, while Emperor Xue Ye dies after revealing claims concerning the Angel God, the Divine Realm, Sea God Island, and Bibi Dong’s involvement 87. Su Chen subsequently rules as emperor, responding with indifference to Sea God Island’s demand that he kneel and to Star Luo’s million-strong border deployment 97.

Tang San later returns bearing Fallen divine power and threatens Heaven Dou on behalf of Sea God Island. Su Chen destroys Tang San and Sea God Island from afar without leaving his bed, provoking the appearance of the true Sea God and Asura God 102. His power continues to eclipse conventional soul-master standards: he empowers Liu Erlong’s Twin Dragon King bloodline to the point that she annihilates seven fifty-thousand-year Shadow Demon Wolves barehanded 107, grants Dugu Yan a dramatic martial-soul evolution, and reveals a trace of Chaos Dragon aura capable of silencing the battlefield when Star Luo’s army attacks Heaven Dou City 115 126.

Abilities

Judgment Holy Sword

Su Chen’s first martial soul, the Judgment Holy Sword, is a supreme god‑level tool martial soul possessing the dual attributes of Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire. It manifests as a blade engraved with ancient, intricate patterns and wreathed in scorching golden holy fire. The moment it appears, all other tool martial souls in the vicinity tremble and instinctively bow in submission 3. After Su Chen’s light attribute affinity was increased to 100% by the system, his first soul skill evolved into a growth‑type god‑level skill: Heavenly Kingdom Judgment. When activated, the holy fire burns several times more vigorously, with a hint of pure white at its core symbolising extreme temperature, and the user’s entire light‑attribute power is focused into a single, devastating strike 23. This skill is a divine‑tier ability that can suppress even powerful opponents, as demonstrated when it injured and forced Han Su to kneel during the confrontation in Suotuo City 46.

• Applications: Subjugation of opposing tool martial souls; delivering a high‑temperature holy‑fire attack that bypasses conventional defences; intimidation and demonstration of divine power.
• Limitations: The holy fire’s intensity increases with the user’s soul power and affinity, so its full potential may only be realised at higher cultivation levels; the sword’s light attribute is suppressed in environments dominated by darkness or destruction.

God‑Slaying Magic Spear

Su Chen’s second martial soul, the God‑Slaying Magic Spear, is a supreme god‑level tool martial soul that wields the dual attributes of Ultimate Darkness and Ultimate Destruction. It appears as a pitch‑black long spear whose shaft is covered in dark red dragon‑scale patterns, and its tip emits an aura of despair and destruction. When unleashed, it causes all low‑tier beast martial souls in the area to collapse to the ground 3. Its first soul ring, obtained from a 2,500‑year mutated Dark Nightmare Demon Tiger, grants the god-tier growth skill Endless Dark Prison. The skill produces a deep-purple suppressive field imbued with corrosion and destruction, and it can restrain even the fifty-thousand-year Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger long enough for allies to strike it down 19 20.

• Applications: Mental and physiological suppression of enemy beast‑type martial souls; area‑denial and immobilisation via Endless Dark Prison; dealing corrosive, destructive damage.
• Limitations: The spear’s darkness attribute clashes directly with the holy light of the Judgment Holy Sword, requiring careful energy balance to avoid internal conflict; the Endless Dark Prison’s holding power may be less effective against opponents with extreme light or fire attributes.

Physical Prowess and Spiritual Power

Even without manifesting his martial soul or using soul power, Su Chen possesses extraordinary physical strength and speed. After absorbing a Marrow Cleansing Pill, his strength exceeded 2,000 jin, and his physique was reforged to the point that he could crush over a dozen elite students in the Martial Arts Arena using only his body 12 9. He also wields materialised spiritual power—a form of condensed life force—which he can externalise to shatter defences, as seen when he broke Hu Liena’s protective soul skill in a single blow and left a massive crater in the arena floor 14. This spiritual power, combined with his innate spiritual domain, allows him to predict enemy movements and counter diverse combat styles (power attack, agility attack, and control) without revealing his martial souls 11.

His physical capability rises still further through the Ice and Fire Golden Body. Following its cultivation, he catches the full-power Thunder Dragon Claw of Rank 92 Yu Luomian barehanded and freezes the attack with a squeeze before later defeating the Titled Douluo with one punch 82 83 84. He also defeats three Soul Douluo of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy committee with a single palm strike 61.

• Applications: Stealth and surprise attacks; conserving soul power by relying on brute force; overwhelming low‑ and mid‑tier opponents without revealing his divine martial souls.
• Limitations: Physical strength alone is insufficient against high‑level Soul Douluo or Title Douluo; materialised spiritual power is a finite resource that may deplete in prolonged battles.

External Soul Bone: Dark Red Dragon Wings

After the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger was slain, Su Chen absorbed its external soul bone, manifesting as a pair of Dark Red Dragon Wings on his back. These wings grant him the ability to fly and enhance his mobility in combat. The soul bone contains domineering wind, lightning, and shadow attributes, while also matching the darkness and destruction of his God-Slaying Magic Spear 20. The wings are a direct result of Su Chen’s pure dark attribute, which attracted the beast in the first place, and they represent a significant boost to his combat versatility and survivability.

• Applications: Aerial combat and evasion; imposing psychological pressure on ground‑based opponents; enhancing mobility for pursuit or escape.
• Limitations: Flight may drain soul power or stamina; the wings are vulnerable to light‑based attacks that counter darkness; they cannot be used while both martial souls are simultaneously manifested without risking attribute conflict.

Ice and Fire Golden Body

Su Chen cultivates the Ice and Fire Golden Body by enduring the opposing forces of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The completed body-tempering technique raises his soul power to level sixty-eight and gives him an overwhelming level of resilience, allowing him to withstand and overpower attacks from elite opponents without relying on his martial souls 82 83. The technique serves as the foundation for his later ability to contend physically with Titled Douluo.

• Applications: Extreme bodily resilience; resistance to ice- and fire-aligned energies; amplifying unarmed combat against powerful soul masters.
• Limitations: Its initial cultivation requires surviving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s conflicting energies; its complete upper limit is not yet specified.

Chaos Dragon Aura

During the Star Luo Empire’s assault on Heaven Dou City, Su Chen reveals a trace of Chaos Dragon aura without activating either martial soul. The aura alone silences the battlefield and interrupts the million-man army’s incoming barrage, demonstrating a pressure far beyond ordinary martial-soul intimidation 126.

• Applications: Battlefield-wide suppression; disrupting enemy resolve and attacks; intimidating large military forces without direct combat.
• Limitations: The full origin, extent, and costs of the Chaos Dragon power have not been disclosed.

System‑Augmented Capabilities

Su Chen’s power is further amplified by several system‑granted abilities. The High‑Rank Soul Beast Precision Radar allows him to locate compatible soul beasts with precise age and attribute data, enabling him to bypass the conventional trial‑and‑error methods of soul‑ring selection 17 21. The Marrow Cleansing Pill, administered shortly after awakening, fundamentally upgraded his physique and pushed his soul power to Innate Full Soul level 9. Later, the system increased his light attribute affinity to 100% and automatically evolved his Holy Sword’s first soul skill into the god‑tier Heavenly Kingdom Judgment 23. These enhancements are not passive traits but rather triggered or developed through system missions and rewards.

• Applications: Efficient resource acquisition (soul beasts, pills); breaking conventional limits on soul‑ring age absorption; unlocking divine‑tier skills that would otherwise be impossible.
• Limitations: All system abilities are contingent on mission completion; they cannot be replicated by other soul masters; over‑reliance may stunt independent cultivation of techniques.

Relationships

• Xiao Wu: Xiao Wu begins as a challenger to Su Chen in Dorm Seven, but after he defeats her and shows kindness—buying her carrot-filled dumplings and a wooden carrot hairpin—she develops deep affection and loyalty toward him 27 29. Their bond intensifies when Su Chen combs her hair, prompting a kiss on the cheek 32. She becomes fiercely protective, refusing to let him attend dangerous events alone, and asserts her status as his primary consort when Ning Rongrong enters the scene 43 57 69. Xiao Wu also shows jealousy toward Xu Tinglan and competes for Su Chen’s attention, while Su Chen teases her affectionately and acknowledges her intelligence 36 56 57 64. By the time Su Chen becomes emperor, she lives alongside Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong, Hu Liena, and Liu Erlong, maintaining a playful but competitive relationship with the other women 97. She later accompanies Su Chen and Liu Erlong into the Star Dou Great Forest 107.

• Tang San: Tang San’s relationship with Su Chen is defined by escalating animosity. After Su Chen cuts off Tang San’s paths to growth and defeats him easily in a duel, Tang San vows revenge and becomes consumed by hatred 29 33. Su Chen manipulates Tang San by giving him poisonous herbs, fueling his desperation 32. Tang San prepares deadly poisons and a Silent Sleeve Arrow to kill Su Chen, but his plans consistently fail 32 33. Tang San’s frustration grows, and he later arrives with Shrek Academy seeking to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, only to freeze upon seeing Su Chen’s power 61. Xiao Wu warns Su Chen about Tang San’s intentions, showing her loyalty to Su Chen over any prior connection with Tang San 29. Tang San eventually returns empowered by Fallen divine power and threatens Heaven Dou, but Su Chen destroys him from afar alongside Sea God Island 102.

• Xu Tinglan: Xu Tinglan’s dynamic with Su Chen begins with her warning him about a trap, showing mutual respect and understanding 43. After Su Chen stays at her private residence and she sees his strategic brilliance, she experiences unexpected jealousy when she finds Xiao Wu tending to his wounds 56. She becomes protective of Su Chen, blushing when he teases or touches her, indicating growing romantic interest 57. Xu Tinglan’s feelings are complicated by her position in the Spirit Hall branch, but she increasingly trusts Su Chen with sensitive information 43 57.

• Ning Rongrong: Ning Rongrong submits to Su Chen out of desperation for power and to please him, kneeling and massaging his legs 69. Su Chen provokes her by revealing the Seven Ring Curse and presenting an immortal herb that tempts her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda 64. She vies with Xiao Wu for Su Chen’s attention, but Su Chen initially treats both women with cold indifference, seeing them as tools 69. After pursuing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan leader and presenting Su Chen with his severed head, she pledges allegiance to him and is assigned the task of proving herself worthy of her martial soul’s final evolution 72. Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda later evolves into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and Su Chen gives her the Aromatic Silk Beauty to stabilise its foundation 78 82.

• Bibi Dong: Bibi Dong takes Su Chen as her personal disciple, showing clear favoritism by granting him special privileges and proposing him as the Spirit Hall Holy Son 7. She supports his decision to prove himself against the Elder Hall’s challenges, trusting in his abilities 10. Their relationship evolves from initial tension to a strong teacher-student bond, with Bibi Dong invested in his success 7 10. She later grants him unrestricted access to Spirit Hall’s resources after his unprecedented acquisition of two high-age soul rings 23.

• Qian Renxue (Crown Prince): Qian Renxue’s interactions with Su Chen are marked by mutual caution and calculation. She summons him to a banquet, attempting to read his intentions 57. Disguised as the Crown Prince, she watches Su Chen’s actions with growing infatuation, particularly after he easily defeats three Soul Douluos 61. Su Chen is aware of her presence and emotional state, using it to boost his confidence 64. He later exposes her emotional vulnerability during a private East Palace meeting by stating that he acts for “Xue’er” and to fulfil her mother’s lifelong wish 58. During the Heaven Dou palace coup, Qian Renxue warns Su Chen of the danger, is captured and injured, and is rescued by him from the Main Hall 84 87. She subsequently lives at his side as one of the women in the imperial residence 97.

• Hu Liena: Hu Liena initially opposes Su Chen’s Holy Son appointment after being Bibi Dong’s most valued disciple, but he defeats her in one move and shatters her confidence 12 14. She later becomes a trusted subordinate, carrying out his order to lead Spirit Hall elites in surrounding the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s auxiliary camp 69. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Su Chen tests her obedience and subsequently assists in evolving her Demon Fox martial soul into the Heavenly Fox 74 78. He later gives her the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to purify and refine her power of enchantment 82.

• Liu Erlong: Liu Erlong initially seeks revenge against Su Chen after Yu Xiaogang’s account of events involving Tang San and Ning Rongrong, vowing to make him pay in blood 82. After Su Chen defeats Yu Luomian, he offers her the prospect of becoming an Ice and Fire Dragon King, forcing her to confront both her past pain and the possibility of a new path 84. She later receives the Twin Dragon King bloodline from Su Chen, allowing her to slaughter seven fifty-thousand-year Shadow Demon Wolves barehanded 107. She becomes fiercely loyal to him, acknowledging his will as her own, though she remains competitive with other women close to him 107 156.

• Dugu Yan: Dugu Yan becomes a willing follower of Su Chen after he subjects her to treatment that dramatically evolves her martial soul and increases her strength 115. She develops near-fanatical reverence for him and is ordered to deal with Yu Tianheng and the Emperor Team when they interrupt him at Sunset Forest 115.

• Dugu Bo: Dugu Bo initially guards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well but submits after Su Chen effortlessly removes its barrier 74. He later displays loyalty and vigilance by alerting Su Chen to the theft of the Heartbreak Grass and signs of an intruder outside the barrier 78. He openly tells Yu Tianheng that Dugu Yan serves Su Chen willingly and that Su Chen’s status and strength surpass those of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan 115.

• Lu Qingci: Lu Qingci challenges Su Chen as a test sent by Han Su, and Su Chen defeats her without using his Martial Soul. Their interaction highlights mutual respect for each other’s skills despite the difference in power 40.

• Elder Hall (Golden Crocodile Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, etc.): The Elders initially resist Su Chen’s appointment as Holy Son, leading to a tense negotiation where Su Chen accepts their challenge to prove himself. Golden Crocodile Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo are skeptical, but Su Chen’s confidence and subsequent victory earn a degree of grudging respect 10.

• Dorm Seven Residents: Su Chen wins the loyalty and respect of the work-study students in Dorm Seven through his strength, gentleness, and generosity—improving their living conditions and enforcing rules against bullying. They show deference and gratitude toward him 27.

• Shen Zhi: Shen Zhi, a teacher from Suotuo City, invites Su Chen to enroll in his academy, being honest about his intention to use Su Chen’s reputation to reform the academy. Su Chen declines but agrees to participate in a special assessment 34.

• Zhou Ling: Zhou Ling, an arrogant noble’s son, challenges Su Chen’s reputation by sending a letter to fight Xiao Wu. Su Chen orchestrates Xiao Wu’s training to handle the match, turning the rivalry into a test for her growth 36.

• Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo (Chen Xin): Su Chen reveals the Seven Ring Curse and the potential evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, shattering their composure and exposing their vulnerability. They are agitated and enraged, but Su Chen remains confident and in control 64.

• Xiao Wu and Xu Tinglan: Their relationship is marked by tension and jealousy. Xu Tinglan interrupts an intimate moment between Su Chen and Xiao Wu, causing an ambiguous atmosphere 56. Xiao Wu is fiercely protective of Su Chen and jealous of any attention he gives Xu Tinglan 57.

• Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong: The two compete for Su Chen’s attention, with Xiao Wu asserting her status as primary consort while Ning Rongrong desperately tries to please him. Su Chen initially treats them with cold indifference, heightening their rivalry 69. Their relationship later continues as part of the competitive but coexisting group around Emperor Su Chen 97.

• Yu Xiaogang: Su Chen views Yu Xiaogang as a plagiarist whose reputation and theories threaten Spirit Hall’s interests, and travels to Nuoding City specifically to expose him 23 24. Yu Xiaogang becomes one of Su Chen’s most persistent enemies, urging others to kill Su Chen and later joining Yu Luomian, Flender, and Liu Erlong in seeking revenge 83.

• Prince Xue Xing and Ge Long: Both become political enemies of Su Chen during the Heaven Dou succession crisis. Su Chen defeats Ge Long with one finger, crushes Prince Xue Xing’s coup attempt, and terrifies the prince into collapse 87.

• Dai Mubai and the Star Luo Empire: Dai Mubai leads Star Luo’s million-man army against Heaven Dou City, underestimating Su Chen and ordering a massive ranged assault 126. Su Chen responds by releasing Chaos Dragon aura, halting the attack and demonstrating the vast disparity between them 126.
