Background

Luo Zhe began as an advanced student at the Jiangdu District Extreme Martial Arts Hall. He cultivated at night on his apartment rooftop and acquired a local reputation as his strength rose. During this period, he discovered the Dimensional Space, which he could enter and leave freely; time inside passed at roughly ten times the rate of the outside world. 3

His explosive first session of Genetic Origin Energy cultivation drew the attention of instructor Tong Yang and Executive Zhuge Tao. Their testing confirmed extraordinary growth in strength, speed, and neural response, leading to early recruitment by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall and support for a Special Training Contract. 6 8 11

After moving to Bright Moon Residential Area, Luo Zhe joined the Fire Hammer Squad for Wilderness Zone tempering. He developed his Micro-Level movement technique, purchased the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, and used its matching movement and Guidance Techniques to accelerate his development. 13 16 33 35

Luo Zhe entered the Elite Training Camp after mastering the second level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade. His Trial Tower performance and monster hunting rapidly elevated him from 153rd to the Black Dragon Ranking’s top fifty during his first month. 59 75 92

A sudden surge in physical strength and the awakening of psychic power propelled him beyond the camp’s normal progression. Rather than bind himself to either major martial arts hall, he chose to become a Free Warrior and entered the Wilderness Zone alone to temper his blade techniques and psychic power. 104 106

Following his rise to Councilor status and eventual Planetary Level breakthrough, Luo Zhe continued studying ancient-civilization materials, training in the Slaughter Arena, and refining staff techniques. He later returned to his former residence, where its aged caretaker Nuotuo mistook him for a divine envoy because of his armor. 125 129 153 183

Personality

Luo Zhe is ambitious and intensely self-driven. The Dimensional Space gives him an extraordinary advantage, but he repeatedly treats it as an opportunity to work harder rather than a replacement for training. He drills fundamentals, studies other practitioners’ insights, and deliberately rebuilds his foundation when advised not to rush higher levels of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade. 22 63

He is capable of humility despite rapid growth. Luo Feng’s assessment performance tempers Luo Zhe’s early arrogance, while the Elite Training Camp exposes him to numerous geniuses stronger than himself and keeps him grounded. 17 87 99

Luo Zhe is loyal to those close to him. He supports Luo Feng in front of Xu Xin’s brother, helps Luo Feng understand the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, and remains concerned during Luo Feng’s prolonged absence in the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins. 41 54 155

His independence is equally pronounced. Although he acknowledges the help of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, Zhuge Tao, the Fire Hammer Squad, and Jiang Fang, he refuses institutional protection in favor of becoming a Free Warrior. 106

Abilities & Skills

Dimensional Space

A mysterious personal space that Luo Zhe can enter and exit at will.

• Time inside flows at roughly ten times the rate of the outside world, allowing extended cultivation periods. 3
• Training after exhausting himself in the real world produces notably better results within the space. 13
• Fine azure threads sometimes emerge within it; they formed an illusory humanoid that demonstrated superior blade movements for Luo Zhe to imitate. 80
• A special substance from the space fused into his genetic chains during his transformation, contributing to a constitution beyond normal humans of the same level. 104
• The space is associated with recurring dreams of a desolate, barrier-enclosed planet, though Luo Zhe does not know their connection. 103

Nine-Fold Thunder Blade

An ultimate blade manual that includes its own movement technique, Flowing Light, and a Guidance Technique. Luo Zhe initially selected it for its power and versatility, then gradually adapted its principles into his own style. 13 33 79

• First level — mastered shortly before his first Wilderness Zone hunt; its hidden-force acceleration lets him kill a One-Horned Wild Boar in a single decisive exchange. 41
• Second level — mastered before his special-training transfer, enabling two layers of hidden force and a 2.1× burst in battle. 59 70
• Third level — achieved through his insight into an “endless” blade principle; grants three layers of hidden force and 2.8× explosive power. 80
• Fifth level — mastered while traveling as a Free Warrior, allowing one slash to exert 1.8 million kg of force. 107
• He can apply the manual’s hidden-force method through his fists and legs to enhance punching and running speed, not solely saber strikes. 59 61
• His early attempts to draw on faint green threads during a slash left him unconscious; he considers the resulting power a dangerous trump card rather than a reliable technique. 51 52

Movement Technique

Luo Zhe’s movement training progresses from Micro-Level evasion toward the Perfect Level.

• Uses minimal shifts of his waist, torso, and footwork to evade attacks and create counterattack windows. 19
• Initially struggles to sustain Micro-Level movement because bodily stiffness interrupts his flow. 19
• Achieves a perfect Junior Warrior neural-response test score after mastering the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade’s first-layer footwork. 35
• Uses superior movement and speed to escape the encirclement of fifty Beast General Reckless Bulls, opening a path through their formation in less than a second. 70
• Later gains an initial experience of Perfect-Level movement during the Reckless Bull trial. 70 71

Blade Artistic Conception

Luo Zhe rejects rigid imitation and seeks a blade technique suited to himself.

• Develops the principle of continuous, unbroken slashes—“dripping water wears through stone”—after observing the azure-thread humanoid. 80
• Gradually touches Artistic Conception and can sustain the state for several minutes during Wilderness Zone hunts. 87
• Fully enters Artistic Conception by the time of his War God Assessment, using it to create lethal openings against High-Level Lord monsters. 112
• Reaches major completion of Artistic Conception at the Planetary Level, nearing unity with the saber. 132

Tide

Luo Zhe’s ultimate blade technique, built around overwhelming speed and repeated precise strikes.

• Produces hundreds or thousands of blade shadows in an instant. 132
• Leaves deep marks in a reinforced wall and forces Hong to use his domain defensively. 132
• Was previously used to instantly kill Li Yao. 132

Psychic Power

Luo Zhe awakens as a Spirit Reader during his War God-level breakthrough.

• Awakens at the High-Level War God tier and can telekinetically manipulate objects. 104 105
• His psychic power later fuses with Genetic Origin Energy into pale cyan energy. 103 112
• At peak High-Level War God, this energy is stated to rival power beyond the War God level. 112
• Advances alongside his body into the Planetary Level. 129

Azure Eyes

A self-named state rather than a conventional eye technique.

• Activates accidentally while crossing the Tianshan Mountains. 107
• Lets Luo Zhe perceive time as slowed and evade the attacks of an Armored Bear King. 107
• Its origin is unknown and appears connected to the pale blue threads and energy associated with the Dimensional Space. 107

Keen Wind

Luo Zhe’s Planetary Level special ability.

• Manifests after his body’s dual transformation at the Planetary Level. 129
• Enhances the sharpness and sensitivity of his skin. 129
• Can be categorized as invisible wind shaped into cutting wind blades, though Luo Zhe believes its potential exceeds that description. 129

Staff Techniques

Luo Zhe also trains with longstaffs and force staffs.

• Employs his azure domain and longstaff against one hundred attackers in the Slaughter Arena. 154
• Practices the Great Heaven Battle Staff Technique, though Bolan’s blood-red longsword ultimately overwhelms it in their duel. 175

Equipment

• Blood Shadow Battle Blade — Luo Zhe’s primary saber; he purchases an A6 model for use against powerful Beast General monsters. 34 37
• Hexagonal Shield — used alongside his saber during Wilderness Zone hunts and Trial Tower combat. 23 70
• Series 9 combat uniform — worn after he leaves the Elite Training Camp as a Free Warrior. 106
• Black God set — ancient-civilization equipment that can change form according to its wearer’s will. 118
• Ten-Thousand-Year Fo-Ti plant spirit — a gift from Thor that substantially improves Luo Zhe’s physical fitness. 104 106
• Black metal plate / black stone slab — an unexplained item acquired from Tong Yang in exchange for support of Tong Yang’s political ambitions. 125

Relationships

• Luo Feng — Close friend and neighbor. Luo Zhe trains, hunts, and shares Nine-Fold Thunder Blade insights with him; he also defends Luo Feng against Xu Xin’s brother. 19 41 54
• Tong Yang — Luo Zhe’s former instructor and earliest advocate within the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Tong Yang identifies his talent and helps pursue a Special Training Contract. 6 8
• Zhuge Tao — Executive and benefactor who recruits Luo Zhe early, funds his manuals, secures his Special Training Contract, and supports his Elite Training Camp application. 11 51 52
• Wu Tong — Yangzhou City hall director who introduces Luo Zhe to other martial artists and helps arrange his meeting with the headquarters envoy. 13 16 66
• Chen Gu — Fire Hammer Squad member who persistently recruits Luo Zhe and later provides testimony about his Wilderness Zone combat ability. 16 65
• Gao Feng — Captain of the Fire Hammer Squad; recognizes Luo Zhe’s refined footwork and hidden-force blade technique during their first hunt. 42 53
• Jiang Fang — Luo Zhe’s Elite Training Camp instructor, who guides his saber training and predicts that he can challenge the camp’s top ten within two years. 86 87
• Shi Jiang — Senior brother and Wilderness Zone hunting companion at the Elite Training Camp. 76 87
• Zhao Ruo — Senior sister and fellow Jiangnan Pavilion resident. 76 87

• Bolan — A powerful rival whose blood-red longsword defeats Luo Zhe’s Great Heaven Battle Staff Technique. 175

Trivia
