Background

Ghost became Lin Chuan's master after the orphaned Lin Chuan joined Martial Soul Hall. Their shared ghost-type Martial Souls helped establish the connection, though Lin Chuan deliberately concealed Giratina's independent consciousness and autonomous combat ability from Ghost. 1

He and Chrysanthemum Douluo watched Lin Chuan grow from the age of six and regard his talent with pride. Ghost is particularly devoted to his disciple, treating him like a grandson despite their nominal master-disciple relationship. 6 7

Abilities & Skills

Titled Douluo Cultivation

Ghost is a Titled Douluo with nine Soul Rings and extensive combat experience. During the hunt for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he judged that he might not be able to kill the beast alone, but was confident of victory alongside Chrysanthemum Douluo. 8

• His Martial Soul can transform him into black mist, allowing physical projectile attacks to pass through him. 8
• He retained his memories, combat instincts, and Soul Skills after being regressed to a youthful body in the Death Arena. 10
• Even while temporarily weakened to Soul Ancestor-level power, he helped overwhelm and cripple the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. 10

Ghost Shadow Earth Swamp Hand

Ghost's Fifth Soul Skill manifests a void-like ghost swamp and numerous black hands that bind and torment a target. 8

• Entraps opponents by immobilizing their legs in the ghost swamp. 8
• The summoned hands seize and restrain the target's body. 8
• The hands contain shrieking souls and evil energy that inflict pain and consume the victim's strength. 8
• The skill can be torn apart by sufficiently powerful attacks, as demonstrated by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's wind-attribute claw blades. 8

Ghost Shadow Emergence

Ghost's Fourth Soul Skill condenses a spinning black orb that releases ghostly figures to attack an enemy. 10

• Used alongside Chrysanthemum Douluo's explosive attack to interrupt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Time Regression. 10
• Sent multiple ghostly shadows to continue assaulting the already wounded tiger. 10

Hellish Specter

Ghost's Ninth Soul Skill opens numerous portal-like passages resembling entrances to hell, from which black hands emerge. 10

• Attacks from multiple directions at once. 10
• The hands carry evil energy that causes nearby vegetation to wither. 10
• The skill was swallowed by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's final spatial vortex. 10

Polar Static Domain

Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Polar Static Domain. Their coordination is so refined that they can activate it through a single exchanged look. 9

• Freezes targets within the domain, leaving them unable to move. 9
• Can suspend even airborne leaves and halt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger mid-pounce. 9
• Requires both users' concentration; Chrysanthemum Douluo states that the domain cannot be maintained for long. 9

Relationships

• Lin Chuan — Master and protective mentor. Ghost accepted him as a disciple after he joined Martial Soul Hall and later accompanied him on the hunt for his sixth Soul Ring. 1 7
• Chrysanthemum Douluo — Longtime partner and combat counterpart. Their deep mutual understanding enables the Polar Static Domain Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 8 9
• Hu Liena — Fellow Martial Soul Hall member; Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo recognize her attachment to Lin Chuan. 6 7
• Bibi Dong — Fellow Martial Soul Hall authority. Ghost's position as Lin Chuan's public master helped prevent the Worship Hall from investigating Lin Chuan too closely. 12
• Dark Demon Evil God Tiger — Opponent during Lin Chuan's sixth Soul Ring hunt. Ghost helped restrain, defeat, and ultimately prepare the beast for Lin Chuan's absorption. 8 10 11

Story Role / Major Arcs

Lin Chuan's Return from the Capital of Slaughter

Ghost joins Chrysanthemum Douluo, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan in welcoming Lin Chuan after he clears the Hell Road. He immediately recognizes that Lin Chuan has already reached the Soul Emperor realm. 6

Hunt for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger

Ghost travels with Lin Chuan and Chrysanthemum Douluo to the Star Dou Forest to secure Lin Chuan's sixth Soul Ring. He restrains the tiger with Ghost Shadow Earth Swamp Hand, coordinates with Chrysanthemum Douluo throughout the battle, and helps activate Polar Static Domain when the beast threatens Lin Chuan. 7 8 9

After the tiger drags the group into the Death Arena and regresses their bodies and cultivation, Ghost continues fighting with his retained experience. He and Chrysanthemum Douluo interrupt Time Regression, cripple the tiger, and leave Lin Chuan to administer the killing blow. 10

While Lin Chuan absorbs the tiger's Soul Ring, Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo stand guard. They later lure away the approaching Titan Giant Ape so that Lin Chuan can complete the absorption safely. 11
