Abilities and Martial Souls

Ink Shadow Cat

Lin Chen’s primary and publicly displayed martial soul is the Ink Shadow Cat. It manifests as a palm-sized, ink-colored cat phantom with glossy fur, reserved eyes, and an almost imperceptible shadow aura 1. Classified publicly as an agility-attack beast martial soul, it provides exceptional speed, agility, lightness, and close-combat lethality.

• Agility and Evasion: Even while restricting himself to a level 10 aura, Lin Chen evades Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass and other attacks with ease. His composure under Zhao Wuji’s gravity pressure also reflects his extraordinary physical foundation. 4 15
• Close-Combat Lethality: The Ink Shadow Cat’s claws can erupt with chilling force and extreme speed, allowing Lin Chen to counterattack enemies before they can react. 20 21
• Battlefield Command: Lin Chen uses the martial soul’s mobility and precise soul-power control to command team battles, seal attacks, and create openings for allies. 20 48
• Hidden True Application: Although he publicly treats it as an ordinary agility martial soul, its power is elevated by Lin Chen’s later moonlight Great Dao and Titled Douluo cultivation. 73 77

Heavy Profound Iron Sword

Lin Chen’s second martial soul is the Heavy Profound Iron Sword, a pitch-black, lusterless heavy sword dormant deep within his soul 8. It is a hidden control-type weapon martial soul that Lin Chen never publicly reveals.

• Secret Refinement: Lin Chen begins tempering and attuning to the sword in a secluded place behind Nuoding Academy, using only minute traces of soul power. 8
• Perfect Concealment: He suppresses the sword’s fluctuations beneath the Ink Shadow Cat’s aura and later beneath his Star Hidden Grass and Ultimate Seal concealment. 8 42
• Reserved Trump Card: Lin Chen retains the Heavy Profound Iron Sword as a decisive hidden weapon rather than exposing it in unnecessary battles. 8 42
• Control-Type Potential: Its heavy and profound nature complements the Ink Shadow Cat’s speed, giving Lin Chen the potential to combine overwhelming suppression with agile assassination.

Concealment and Disguise

Lin Chen possesses extraordinary passive concealment, reinforced by the Star Hidden Grass and the system’s Ultimate Seal. It hides his cultivation, martial soul characteristics, soul-power fluctuations, herb-enhanced vitality, and hostile intent.

The system identifies his state as “Ultimate Seal,” preventing detection by non-gods 42. At level 62, he publicly appears only as a level 36 Soul Elder, fooling Ghost Fiend and Spirit Hall’s dark guards despite their detection abilities 42 44. He later maintains his low-key academy persona even after becoming a Titled Douluo, quietly protecting the three girls and altering the perceptions of Spirit Hall spies without exposing himself 47 77.

• Star Hidden Grass: Conceals both his presence and the traces of the immortal herbs, allowing him to send Spirit Hall a secret message through a Dark Iron Dart without detection. 39
• Secret Guardian: Allows Lin Chen to establish concealed protection over Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing during training and wilderness expeditions. 48 51
• Perception Manipulation: In Suotuo City, Lin Chen subtly seals the senses of Spirit Hall spies and alters their perception of his group. 77 78
• Wind-Moon Infinite Domain: A Dao barrier that isolates his courtyard, prevents outside sensing and intrusion, and creates a secure space for the four companions’ transformations. 75 80

Spiritual Sense

Lin Chen possesses advanced spiritual sense, enabling him to perceive nearby movements, soul-power flows, hostile intentions, and secret transmissions without exposing himself.

During the early Shrek period, his divine sense already covers a radius of several thousand meters, allowing him to perceive every movement in that range while leading the team. 24 At Shrek Academy, his spiritual sense monitors the perimeter, detects Tang San’s infiltration, and senses the Spirit Hall dark guards concealed in the trees 40 42. It allows him to arrange Tang San’s capture while appearing entirely uninvolved. As his cultivation rises, this perception develops into far greater control over moonlight Dao power, domains, and the intentions of hostile observers. 42 77 78

Asura Bridal Robe Heavenly Dao Bond

The Asura Bridal Robe Heavenly Dao Bond is Lin Chen’s exclusive karmic passive linked to Tang San. Whenever Tang San gains cultivation, stabilizes his foundation, receives healing, or obtains divine-path opportunities, Lin Chen synchronously inherits and often perfects the corresponding benefits.

• Tang San’s level 40 to level 42 breakthrough advances Lin Chen from peak level 62 to mid-stage level 64. 64
• Tang San’s level-43 breakthrough advances Lin Chen to level 65. 66 67
• Tang San’s later Soul King breakthroughs propel Lin Chen from level 93 to levels 94 and 95. 80 81 82 83
• Tang San’s rank-99 breakthrough strengthens Lin Chen’s divine soul and inner core. 98
• Tang San’s inheritance of the Asura God King position triggers Lin Chen’s ascent to the half-step Creation God realm. 99 100

Wind-Moon Great Dao and United Hearts

Lin Chen’s bond with Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing develops into the Wind-Moon United Hearts talent and a shared divine skill. Their souls, perceptions, and soul power can connect, allowing the four to complement one another and evolve together. 73 75

• Moonlight Soul Rings: Lin Chen gains nine moonlight-mutated rings, each beyond the hundred-thousand-year level. 73
• Wind-Moon Infinite Domain: Creates an isolated Dao domain that shields the group from sensing and intrusion. 75
• Shared Cultivation: Moonlight marrow cleansing and united-soul cultivation improve all four companions’ constitutions, martial souls, and cultivation without ordinary bottlenecks. 75 81
• Divine Realm Authority: By chapter 100, Lin Chen can freeze the laws of the God Realm and suppress the five God Kings. 100
• Divine Office Bestowal: As supreme authority of the God Realm, Lin Chen can assign divine offices and godhoods according to the innate talents of his companions. 101

Strategies and Schemes

• Information Manipulation and Misdirection

  • Forged Intelligence: Lin Chen anonymously sends Spirit Hall precise information on Tang San’s movements using a Dark Iron Dart, drawing dark guards to Shrek Academy. 39 40
  • Framing a Non-existent Mastermind: Spirit Hall deduces that a hidden powerhouse is manipulating events, never suspecting the apparently harmless Lin Chen. 41 43 44
  • Maintaining Public Innocence: After Tang San’s capture, Lin Chen participates in ordinary academy discussions and preserves his image as a gentle, weak student. 45 47

• Exploiting Rivalry and Enmity

  • Stoking Tang San’s Hostility: Lin Chen deprives Tang San of allies, opportunities, and public standing, driving him into paranoia and an attempted assassination. 38 40
  • Undermining Yu Xiaogang: Lin Chen rejects Yu Xiaogang, recognizes the flaws in his theories, and contributes to the collapse of his influence and reputation. 1 4 58

• The “Borrowed Knife” Scheme

  • Setting the Ambush: Lin Chen calculates the intersection of Tang San’s assassination attempt and Spirit Hall’s intervention, allowing the dark guards to act at the decisive moment. 40 42
  • Proxy Warfare: The plan removes Tang San from Shrek, protects the girls, conceals Lin Chen’s level-62 strength, and aggravates the conflict between Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect. 40 42 45

• Preemptive Strikes on Opportunity

  • Intercepting the Body Tempering Grass: Lin Chen buys the herb before Tang San can acquire it. 8
  • Targeting the Datura Snake Opportunity: He learns of and plans to seize the century-old Datura Snake intended as Tang San’s first major spirit-ring opportunity. 4
  • Countering Tang San’s Forest Schemes: Lin Chen detects the hired bandits and Datura Snake trap directed at the Shrek team, thwarting Tang San’s attempts to harm them. 21 22

• Long-Term Positional Advantage

  • Flawless Identity Concealment: Lin Chen continually hides his Twin Martial Souls, real cultivation, Dao aura, and later divine authority. 1 42 77
  • Building a Trusted Inner Circle: Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing become his Dao companions and trusted equals, sharing his secrets and supporting his plans. 63 75 88
  • Using Tang San as a Resource: Through the Asura Bridal Robe Heavenly Dao Bond, Lin Chen turns Tang San’s obsession, suffering, breakthroughs, and divine inheritance into fuel for his own rise. 64 81 98 99
  • Reshaping the Divine Order: After subduing the God Kings, Lin Chen appoints his Dao companions to divine offices rather than permitting the former God Realm hierarchy to remain intact. 100 101

Relationships

With Xiao Wu

Lin Chen and Xiao Wu develop from close companions into secret lovers and Dao companions. Xiao Wu’s loyalty shifts from Tang San to Lin Chen during their Nuoding years, and she chooses to follow Lin Chen to Shrek. 3 12 Lin Chen reassures her that he will protect her regardless of her identity, while Xiao Wu consistently understands his need for concealment. 34 46 48

Their relationship deepens through secret bamboo-forest meetings and eventually becomes part of the Wind-Moon United Hearts bond shared with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. Xiao Wu’s martial soul evolves into the Moonlight Soft Bone Divine Rabbit, granting her a divine beast-level bloodline. 47 73 75 By the time Lin Chen reaches rank 99, she openly reciprocates his feelings and becomes one of his confirmed Dao companions. 88

After Lin Chen takes the three women to the God Realm, he grants Xiao Wu the divine office and godhood of Guardian. Despite attaining godhood, she retains her intimate and natural relationship with Lin Chen. 101

With Ning Rongrong

Lin Chen initially subdues Ning Rongrong’s arrogance at Shrek, then earns her trust through strict but fair guidance, private counsel, and his gift of a Spirit-Calming Stone. 16 18 She comes to admire his leadership, follows his battle arrangements, and grows increasingly reliant on his unseen protection. 22 48 51

After the immortal-herb transformation, Ning Rongrong conceals the evolution of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda under Lin Chen’s guidance. 37 Through the Wind-Moon United Hearts transformation, she gains triple-stacking divine enhancements, soul-power purification, and support effects that can automatically distribute according to her companions’ needs. 75 76 She later confesses and acts upon her love for Lin Chen, becoming his Dao companion. 88

In the reformed God Realm, Lin Chen grants Ning Rongrong the divine office and godhood of Heavenly Fortune. 101

With Zhu Zhuqing

Zhu Zhuqing chooses to accompany Lin Chen to Shrek and gradually develops trust through his tactical guidance, quiet protection, and refinement of her Hell Spirit Cat techniques. 12 28 Though reserved, she repeatedly demonstrates reliance on him in battle and recognizes his secret assistance. 48 51

Her martial soul later evolves into the Moonshadow Nether Divine Cat. The evolution grants ultimate speed, advanced invisibility, and the Moonlight Annihilation effect, allowing her to dissolve soul-power barriers. 75 80 Zhu Zhuqing ultimately lowers her emotional barriers, reciprocates Lin Chen’s feelings, and becomes one of his Dao companions. 88

In the reformed God Realm, Lin Chen grants Zhu Zhuqing the divine office and godhood of Void Stabilization. 101

With the Shrek Team

Lin Chen becomes the de facto leader of the Shrek Seven Devils after Flender entrusts him with team training and coordination. 17 Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun respect his strength, tactical capability, fairness, and willingness to shoulder responsibility for the team’s safety. 19 27

By the group’s early forest campaigns, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar have abandoned their remaining doubts and instinctively follow Lin Chen’s commands. His leadership gives the entire team exceptional cohesion and increasingly seamless coordination. 24

During later tournament preparation and Sunset Forest training, Lin Chen continues to guide the team while secretly preventing fatal dangers, including the Ironclad Rhinoceros threat and the battle against a thousand-year Azure-Patterned Giant Python. 49 51 58

With Tang San

Lin Chen and Tang San are irreconcilable enemies. Lin Chen disrupts Tang San’s opportunities from childhood, takes the allies Tang San expected to gain, exposes his schemes, and eventually engineers his capture by Spirit Hall. 3 8 21 42 Tang San’s jealousy and resentment drive him into increasingly ruthless training and repeated attempts to surpass Lin Chen. 38 64 83

Unbeknownst to Tang San, the Asura Bridal Robe Heavenly Dao Bond converts every one of his breakthroughs, stabilized foundations, divine opportunities, and later godhood progress into benefits for Lin Chen. 64 81 98 99 After Tang San becomes the Asura God King, Lin Chen reaches half-step Creation God, subdues him in the God Realm, erases his former appearance and aura, and remakes him as a loyal servant. 100
