Background / History

Golden Crocodile Douluo is Martial Soul Hall's Second Worship. After Dugu Ce awakened twin martial souls and Innate Full Soul Power, Golden Crocodile emerged from decades of seclusion to accept him as a personal disciple and bring him into Martial Soul Hall. Dugu Ce subsequently became a core member of the Golden Generation. 1 2

He was initially a level 98 peak Douluo whose lifelong goal was to reach level 99. Dugu Ce gave him the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which he refined to attain the Limit Douluo realm. Golden Crocodile regarded this as a monumental favor and strengthened his commitment to Dugu Ce. 3

Following his breakthrough, he helped the Dugu family pursue revenge against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. He subdued the evolved Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon, enabled Dugu Xuan to claim its hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and granted Dugu Xuan its right-leg soul bone. 4 5

Personality

Golden Crocodile is domineering, blunt, and convinced that overwhelming strength supersedes convention. He openly dismisses seniority as a “fig leaf for the weak” and considers most opponents beneath his personal attention. 2 9

He is highly supportive of Dugu Ce's ruthless ambitions. He approves of plans that strengthen the Dugu family and the Dragon-Serpent Sect, provides Dugu Ce with direct protection and cultivation guidance, and repeatedly praises his disciple's decisiveness. 3 4 13 24

Despite his confidence, he responds cautiously to existential threats. When his killing intent toward Tang San triggers an overwhelming life-or-death warning, he immediately stops and accepts Dugu Ce's proposal to delay action until they possess a divine inheritance of their own. 13
