Background / History

Salas serves as the Platinum Bishop of Tiandou City's Martial Soul Temple, a position that places him under pressure to recruit exceptional young talents for Martial Soul Hall amid competition from the royal family and major sects. Ma Xiunuo's report of Lin Nuo—a Soul Grandmaster under nine seeking eventual entry into Martial Soul Hall—initially delights him. 26

Upon reviewing Lin Nuo's profile and portrait, Salas recognizes the alarming resemblance to Pope Bibi Dong and realizes that Lin Nuo's martial soul was misidentified as a Death Demon Spider rather than the Death Spider Emperor. Fearing both the loss of an unprecedented genius and the consequences of mishandling a possible secret child of the Pope, he reports the matter to Heaven Dou's Crown Prince, Qian Renxue. 26 27

Qian Renxue classifies Lin Nuo's existence as top secret and orders Salas to discreetly bring him to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Salas personally travels to Nuoding City, praises Ma Xiunuo's branch for discovering Lin Nuo, escorts the boy to Tiandou City, and becomes markedly deferential after seeing his likeness to Bibi Dong in person. 28 29

While escorting Lin Nuo, Salas answers his cultivation questions, gives him an internal Martial Soul Hall meditation method, tests his physical capacity for a second soul ring, and promises to personally secure a top-quality ring. He subsequently guides Lin Nuo through the Sunset Forest, subdues a Purple-Winged Demon Spider, and assists with the fusion of Lin Nuo's Six-Winged Purple Light Wings External Soul Bone. 30 33

Later, Salas continues to operate within Qian Renxue's sphere of authority. He monitors Yu Xiaogang at Lin Nuo and Qian Renxue's instruction, defies Yu Xiaogang's demands despite his Pope Token, and provides him with a decrepit cart rather than the prestigious transport he expected. 141 142

Personality

Salas is politically cautious, status-conscious, and highly pragmatic. His first response to Lin Nuo's resemblance to Bibi Dong is not open loyalty but fear: he repeatedly weighs the consequences of offending either the Pope or a possible hidden heir. 27 30

He is also adept at adjusting his demeanor to those he considers powerful or useful. He begins by angrily questioning Ma Xiunuo's failure to report Lin Nuo sooner, then immediately switches to praise after realizing that Lin Nuo holds Ma Xiunuo in favorable regard. 29

Despite moments of greed—particularly when Lin Nuo manifests an External Soul Bone—Salas restrains himself and prioritizes survival and political allegiance. He ultimately acts as a capable guardian and cultivation guide for Lin Nuo. 33
