Background / History

Su Ming awakened a Cloud Martial Soul in Holy Soul Village. During the awakening, he learned that he possessed the Vast Void Creation Furnace, a “golden finger” that condenses Creation Qi and can purify energy, strengthen his body and martial soul, and assist in refinement. He used its accumulated Creation Qi to cleanse his marrow, improve his soul power, and expand his Cloud Martial Soul’s healing capabilities. 1 2

Old Jack secured Su Ming a work-study position at Nuoding Primary Soul Master Academy. Before leaving the village, Su Ming gave Tang San a Meditation Method left by an ancestor, despite their growing friction. 3 4

At Nuoding, Su Ming focused on cultivation rather than dormitory conflicts. After reaching Level 10, he researched soul beast records, selected a Wind Splitting Falcon, and spent three months working with a hunting team after absorbing its approximately 300-year soul ring. His value as a flying, healing auxiliary Soul Master earned the team’s trust and paid work. 7

Su Ming later tested his martial soul evolution theory on Wang Sheng, guiding him toward fire-attribute tiger soul beasts and refining resources from the Crimson Flame Tiger for him. Wang Sheng’s War Tiger evolved into the Blazing War Tiger, validating Su Ming’s method. 8 10 46

He entered Shrek Academy, where he advised Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar on martial soul development. His guidance helped Dai Mubai pursue a light-aligned White Tiger evolution and gave Ma Hongjun a route to complete his incomplete Evil Fire Phoenix. 12 13 14

After Shrek merged with Blue Tyrant Academy, Su Ming became a core member of the team that later formed the Shrek Seven Devils. He cultivated alliances with Dugu Bo, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and Martial Soul Hall by resolving martial soul defects and sharing tailored evolution paths. 30 38 51 52 73

Personality

Su Ming is resourceful, ambitious, and highly pragmatic. He consistently treats cultivation, soul-ring selection, martial soul evolution, and political connections as problems to be researched and optimized. He is willing to pay high prices or demand concessions for his knowledge, including soul bones, money, land, and marriage ties. 7 38 46 53

He is protective and supportive toward allies whose potential he recognizes. He supplies Wang Sheng with resources, advises his Shrek teammates, heals defeated opponents, and helps numerous Soul Masters pursue more suitable evolutionary paths. 10 13 21 40 65

Su Ming is also confrontational toward people he believes are exploitative or incompetent, particularly Yu Xiao Gang. He publicly refuses to provide free martial soul evolution assistance and exposes Yu Xiao Gang’s manipulation of Flender and Liu Erlong. 42
