Background / History

Chen Xuan was summoned through a random Title Douluo summoning card purchased by Jiang Lin after the latter awakened his system. Jiang Lin regards him as a person rather than a disposable subordinate, despite Chen Xuan being bound to obey his commands. Chen Xuan in turn becomes Jiang Lin's guardian and most consistent protector. 2

He had watched Jiang Lin train since the age of six, including the youth's harsh body-tempering regimen and consumption of Whale Shark meat. His observations leave him proud of Jiang Lin's perseverance. 1

Chen Xuan has distant blood ties to the Fire Leopard Sect, though he states that the sect did not recognize him after he achieved the Title Douluo realm and that he has no attachment to it. 30 Under Jiang Lin's plan for the Dawn organization, he takes control of the sect and becomes its Sect Master. 37 39 40

• Carries himself with a steady, composed bearing. 1 2
• Commonly strokes his beard while speaking or thinking. 1 2

Personality

Chen Xuan is calm, steady, and practical. Although his martial soul is fire-attributed, he lacks the stereotypical volatility associated with fire-attribute soul masters. He enjoys brewing and tasting tea, and he also cooks for Jiang Lin using the high heat of his martial soul. 2 15

He is highly protective of Jiang Lin. He immediately responds to perceived danger, guards Jiang Lin during refinement and cultivation, and takes responsibility for screening threats before others can reach him. 5 14 19 22

Chen Xuan trusts Jiang Lin's judgment even when circumstances are unusual or potentially dangerous. He does not pry into Jiang Lin's unexplained abilities when Jiang Lin chooses not to elaborate. 15 36
