Background

Xia Ping began as a Grade 12 student in Class 16 of Tianshui City No. 95 Middle School on Yanhuang Planet. After being struck by purple lightning, he awakened with the memories of a Chinese man from Earth who had lived for more than thirty years before dying in a car accident. The merging memories sharpened his mind and granted him exceptional recall, though they initially left him unsure whether he belonged to Earth or Yanhuang Planet. 1

Initially regarded as an unremarkable student, Xia Ping abruptly revealed Martial Apprentice Fourth Heaven cultivation and perfected Five Forms Fist when he defeated Xiong Batian. His rapid development quickly made former classmates question how an ordinary, poor student had become so formidable. 8

His growth was repeatedly accelerated by rare pills, secret manuals, battlefield gains, and the Hate Points system. Although he began without a major-family background, he accumulated enough wealth and resources to compete with—and often surpass—the descendants of King Families. 369 548

Appearance

Xia Ping is initially depicted as a youth in white clothing with an ordinary, inconspicuous presence. As his cultivation progresses, his body and bearing become increasingly extraordinary; his eyes can emit golden light, and awakening Hell Golden Crow Cells gives him a pale-gold complexion. 1 34 842

• Initially attended Tianshui City No. 95 Middle School as a Grade 12 student. 1
• His Golden Crow bloodline gradually transforms his physique and vitality beyond ordinary human limits. 462 1908
• His blood later becomes dark gold and possesses potent healing and cultivation-enhancing properties. 1220 1908
• Often conceals his identity by changing his appearance and aura when operating under aliases. 1471

Personality

Xia Ping is provocatively confident and frequently antagonizes stronger opponents, institutions, and entire factions without hesitation. His arrogance is often deliberate: he uses insults, intimidation, and public humiliation to destabilize opponents, generate Hate Points, or establish his authority. 55 635 1336

He is also cautious and pragmatic beneath the bravado. He gauges danger before accepting unfamiliar invitations, studies hostile forces while in seclusion, and deliberately permits enemies to escape when doing so can lead him to a larger target. 160 204 1578

His compassion is selective. Xia Ping is willing to rescue allies such as Qiu Xue and Su Mei, but he is ruthlessly lethal toward enemies, traitors, and those who threaten people under his protection. 1466 1530
