Background / History

Before reincarnating, Shi Fen was a celebrated Chinese materials scientist who accumulated wealth and honors through his work. A severe illness threatened his career in his youth, but he returned to scientific research after recovering and fought the disease for more than thirty years. 2

Reborn into the Shi family, he concealed his past-life mentality by imitating ordinary children for eighteen years. His previous experiences gave him the endurance to pursue the Treasure Refining Inheritance alone, conducting countless experiments and advancing to the Qualification Trial’s eighth sub-stage by age sixteen. 2

Shi Fen grew up beside Luo Feng, tutoring him academically while Luo Feng taught him practical martial arts. His forging talent also strengthened the family business, Three Stones, where he taught and supported his father Shi Tie. 7

The Eight Trigrams Reincarnation Mirror later transformed his body and became central to his cultivation, Inner World, and treasure-refining path. 10

Appearance

Shi Fen has a lean, proportioned physique rather than a bulky build. Years of blacksmithing left him bronze-skinned, while his later physical evolution gave him exceptionally low body fat, defined musculature, and a powerful, spring-loaded bearing. 25

• Lean body with fluid muscle definition and pronounced abdominal muscles. 25
• Shorter and less imposing in stature than the burly Rong Jun, despite possessing vastly superior strength for his rank. 265
• Often wears custom combat equipment, including archaic black SSS-grade armor. 34

Personality

Shi Fen is intensely disciplined and self-demanding. He endured eighteen years of near-continuous study and forging, treating the Treasure Refining Inheritance as a deadline he could not fail. 2

He is cautious about exposure, frequently concealing his strength, inheritance, and more dangerous techniques. Even after becoming a War God, he chose to keep a low profile so he could focus on forging research rather than public combat fame. 27

Despite his calculating nature, Shi Fen is strongly invested in the growth of his family, friends, disciples, and the Earth Lineage. He provides resources generously but uses structured rewards, contracts, and controlled information to keep his expanding organization stable. 82 125

His composure is a defining trait: even when troubled by sudden wealth, scrutiny, or danger, he regains calm and searches for practical solutions. 110 305

Abilities & Skills

Treasure Refining and Extreme Forging

Shi Fen is a prodigious treasure refiner whose foundation began with Nine-Fold Iron and developed into Extreme Forging, Integrated Forging, Secret Pattern analysis, and large-scale technological manufacturing.

• Mastered 52 Nine-Fold Iron forging methods before age eighteen. 2
• Analyzed all 10,081 Basic Secret Patterns by late May 2057. 34
• Uses Spiritual Force for precision steps such as coating weapon blanks with forging materials. 29
• Developed Integrated Forging and produced SSS-grade metal and equipment. 33
• Manufactured 423 functional A9-grade Fire Energy Laser Guns in roughly ten days with his clones’ assistance. 53
• Demonstrated Extreme Forging by simultaneously purifying, pattern-forging, and compressing A9-grade Black Iron into a Hundred-Fold Black Iron longsword. 201
• Conceals the more dangerous methods of Yi’s inheritance, relying publicly on techniques from the Treasure Refining Canon. 127 204

Spiritual Force and Controller Weapons

As a Spiritual Master, Shi Fen specializes in controlling multiple tools and weapons remotely, making this his most natural combat style.

• Controlled seven flying knives at full power before consuming Dragon Blood, then increased his capacity to 15 and later 24 tools. 26 27
• Controlled 33 flying knives while evading monster attacks on Mist Island. 36

Nine Extremes Soul Clone Technique

Shi Fen’s greatest innate ability created nine main clones in addition to his original body.

• Ten blood beads entered his body; one enhanced him while the other nine became clones. 42
• His Sea of Consciousness evolved into ten Origin Cores, each containing a soul core. 43
• The clones enable parallel cultivation, Secret Pattern research, treasure refining, manufacturing, and resource management. 53 252
• Each clone is protected by a Ten Thousand Clothes defensive treasure. 42

Yin-Yang Possession Technique

This soul-based technique divides Shi Fen’s soul into Yin and Yang poles, allowing portions of it to possess other lifeforms and potentially create further clones.

• Granted directly by Yi alongside the Nine Extremes Soul Clone Technique. 43
• Requires the main clones to reach Sector Lord perfection and the Yin and Yang Pole Souls to mature before gaining an opportunity for possession. 43

Soul Domain and Soul Defense

Shi Fen possesses a Soul Domain, an ability confirmed by the Original Ancestor and regarded as significant enough to warrant special protection and inheritance arrangements.

• Entered a combat epiphany after defeating more than 145 Lord-level monsters and a King-level Crocodile Dragon. 35
• Used the Soul Domain to amplify the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade from the first layer to the seventh, reaching a 56-fold force-amplification amplitude. 41
• His private virtual plane confirmed the existence of his Soul Domain to the Original Ancestor. 110
• Cultivated the soul-defense technique Heaven Star, constructing 269 tiny stars around his Sea of Consciousness after more than eight months. 127

Martial Arts and Law Comprehension

Shi Fen supplements his Spiritual Master combat with hammer techniques, blade arts, Taiji, and increasingly advanced law comprehension.

• Learned Taiji Fist from online materials and displayed exceptional body-force control. 24
• Chose the blade over the sword because its forceful style better matched his hammer foundation. 30
• Reached the first layer of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade and the threshold of Perfection in blade technique. 30
• Became highly proficient in hammer techniques, blade techniques, and Controller weapons through private Virtual Universe training. 139
• Exposed comprehension of both the Laws of Time and Space equivalent to the fifth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Bridge. 196

Inner World

Shi Fen’s Inner World serves as a concealed cultivation ground, research environment, and future training base for his private force.

• Originally used adjustable gravity and dense cosmic energy to accelerate physical training and Secret Pattern analysis. 16 27
• Later gained gravity control from zero to one trillion times Earth’s gravity, including separate gravity zones. 82
• Intended to convert it into a cultivation base for his disciples and private forces. 82

Trivia

• Shi Fen’s “Mad Demon” identity tag was first stamped onto Hong’s custom SSS-grade equipment; it means, “If you aren’t mad, you won’t survive.” 33
• Although he is most naturally skilled with a hammer, he chose blade techniques because no top-tier hammer manual was available. 30
• Shi Fen once deliberately “lowered his intelligence” and acted like an ordinary child so nobody would discover that he was a reincarnated old soul. 2
