Background
Zichuan was a transmigrator from Blue Star, having arrived in the Douluo Continent six years prior to the story's start and raised in the remote Disabled Village—a settlement whose inhabitants were marked not by disability but by possessing extra body parts 1. On the day of the Spirit Awakening ceremony, Zichuan stepped into the awakening array and, unlike the other children, awakened not one but two Martial Souls: a pair of hearts—the Heart of Destruction and the Heart of Life—accompanied by full innate Soul Power 1. The Body Sect deacon, Wang Long-Arm, initially skeptical of this unusually "normal-looking" boy, was astonished by the result and immediately reported to the Sect Master, Du Busi 1 4. Du Busi arrived in a rush, examined Zichuan, and discovered the unprecedented nature of his Dual Heart Martial Soul: it was fundamentally different from ordinary Twin Martial Souls, granting Zichuan twice the soul power recovery speed and capacity, with higher quality and purity 5. Overjoyed, Du Busi formally accepted Zichuan as his personal disciple on the spot 4. The teacher wasted no time, gifting Zichuan Mystic Water Pills, Soul Raising Pills, and thousand-year Whale Shark Beast meat to accelerate his cultivation, then declared they would set out immediately for the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Zichuan's first soul ring 6. Moments later, lifting Zichuan with his soul power, Du Busi turned into a streak of dark green light and sped southwest, leaving the village behind as they headed toward the vast, ink-green expanse of the forest 7.
After reaching level 20, Zichuan used a fabricated account of an ancestral map to persuade Du Busi to bring him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest 15. There, his status as a successor of the Gods of Destruction and Life was recognized by the intelligent immortal herbs, which offered sacrifices to him and formed agreements with the Body Sect 19 21. He subsequently became the Body Sect's publicly designated first successor, or Young Sect Master, after sharing the well's resources with the sect and enabling Du Busi's breakthrough to Limit Douluo 32 33.
In the years that followed, Zichuan intercepted opportunities originally associated with Huo Yuhao, including the million-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Eye of Destiny 42 44 59 60. He later traveled to the Sun Moon Empire's Demonic Forest, where he slaughtered Evil Soul Masters and attracted the attention of Ye Xishui, Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Spirit Cult 79 81 83. To survive her initial attack, he falsely presented himself as an Evil Soul Master; Ye Xishui nevertheless discovered his true Body Sect identity and attempted to retain and control him as the Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Son through a Blood Soul Mark 83 85 88. Following his acquisition of the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign's power and Soul Core breakthrough, Zichuan escaped the Holy Spirit Cult after fighting Ye Xishui and evading Long Xiaoyao 100 102.
Physical Description
Zichuan's appearance undergoes a dramatic transformation as he matures from a six-year-old child into a physically developed youth, his rapid growth fueled by the extraordinary vitality of his Twin Heart Martial Soul. By the age of twelve, his physique has developed so swiftly that he appears to be a youth of seventeen or eighteen, possessing a tall, upright build and a commanding presence that draws attention wherever he goes. His body is well-proportioned and powerfully muscled, with a healthy wheat-colored skin that speaks to rigorous physical training and an active life in the outdoors. He has a handsome face characterized by sword-like brows and star-bright eyes, and his short black hair is worn in a natural, spiked style 34. His overall demeanor combines a spirited, heroic look with a subtle hint of lazy amusement, and his eyes hold a hidden brilliance when they open and close, radiating an unconscious authority that makes him seem both approachable and formidable 34. Those who observe him note that he carries an aura as deep and steady as an abyss, yet paradoxically mixed with the vibrant, youthful energy unique to his age 34. Even at a young age, his presence was notable — when he first arrived at the Body Sect at six and a half, his short black hair retained a trace of strange luster after absorbing his first soul bone, and his right hand faintly shimmered with dark gold light 11. In moments of combat or intense concentration, his appearance shifts dramatically: when he activates his Destruction Form, a dark red light erupts from his left chest and his hair instantly turns dark red, with the roots on the other side rapidly dyed an emerald green by the opposing Life force, and under the effect of Battle Blood Boiling, his muscles bulge visibly as blood surges beneath his dark red skin 12 1. The members of the Body Sect, themselves a group of "body mutants," found Zichuan's unique dual-heart physique and the strange interplay of destructive and life-giving auras emanating from him to be a source of endless curiosity and fascination 11 1. Two faint marks on his brow, observed by the ancient immortal herbs, hint at his dual divine inheritance and mark him as someone of extraordinary destiny 18.
Following his bond with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a golden vertical mark—the nascent Eye of Destiny—appeared between his brows 60. This mark later serves as a visible sign of his shared fortune and causal connection with the Emperor Auspicious Beast and the Star Dou Great Forest 60 76. After acquiring the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign's head soul bone, his brow also became the locus for the soul bone's formidable mental abilities 100.
- Hair Color: Naturally short black, worn in spikes 34 11. When using his Destruction Form, his hair turns a vivid dark red, with the roots simultaneously shifting to emerald green due to the opposing Life inheritance 12 1.
- Eye Color: Described as "star-bright," his eyes are sharp, clear, and carry a hidden brilliance that gives him an authoritative look 34 12. In Destruction Form, dark purple destruction patterns spread through his pupils 84.
- Build: Tall for his age, well-proportioned, and powerfully muscled. By age twelve, he appears seventeen or eighteen, with bulging muscles and an athletic, powerful frame that reflects his rigorous training and the exceptional vitality of his two hearts 34 12.
- Notable Features:
- Skin: Healthy wheat-colored 34.
- Right Hand: Faintly shimmers with a dark gold light, a lingering effect from absorbing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's External Soul Bone 11.
- Brow Marks: Possesses two faint but distinctive marks on his brow, which were observed and noted by ancient immortal herbs and are connected to his dual divine inheritances of Destruction and Life 18. He later gains the golden vertical mark of the nascent Eye of Destiny 60.
- Aura: Radiates an unconscious, deep authority, like an abyss, even in relaxed moments, yet retains a youthful, spirited energy 34. In battle, his presence becomes intensely violent and overbearing, with a terminal, corrosive aura when using Destruction-attribute powers 12. Following his Soul Core breakthrough, the simultaneous circulation of destruction and life produces a pressure capable of contending with Limit Douluo 100 101.
Personality
Decisive and Clear-Headed: Zichuan consistently makes swift, resolute decisions without hesitation. When Du Busi offers to take him as a disciple, he performs the apprenticeship kowtow immediately, his movements “crisp and clean” 5. He accepts Long Aotian’s challenge “without any hesitation,” eager to test his own abilities 12, and later decides to intercept the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with immediate resolve 35. This decisiveness is praised by Du Busi, who notes, “Straightforward! I like your decisive nature!” 5. When confronted by Ye Xishui's lethal pressure, he rapidly improvises a claim that he is an Evil Soul Master in order to survive 83.
Confident and Eager for Battle: Zichuan possesses strong self-assurance and a craving for real combat. He responds to Long Aotian’s challenge by nodding, feeling “hot-bloodedness” ignite within him 12. During their spar, he demonstrates his “confidence and eagerness for a real battle” 12. After five years of cultivation, he exudes an aura “as deep and steady as an abyss” yet filled with vibrant energy, reflecting his assured power 34. He fearlessly tests his strength against Bear Lord and later battles Di Tian to stabilize his surging power 76 109.
Playful and Dominant: In confrontations, Zichuan can be teasing and overbearing. When the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm attacks, he effortlessly withstands its mental pressure, retaliates with overwhelming force, and then “physically abuses the silkworm” until it begs for mercy, displaying a “playful, dominant demeanor” 43. He also shows a lazy amusement in his demeanor, described as “a hint of lazy amusement” 34, and a cocky self-satisfaction: “I want to work hard, too… but my strength… it truly won’t allow it!” 23. His treatment of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion—violently defeating her, then healing and persuading her into friendship—also displays his domineering but calculating approach 56 58.
Compassionate and Empathetic: Despite his power, Zichuan shows genuine care for others’ suffering. He saves Tang Ya and her grandmother from Tang Sect disciples, then allows her to hug him and cry, feeling “compassion and understanding towards Tang Ya’s situation” even though he is uncomfortable with the contact 28. He later agrees to let Tang Ya absorb his life aura daily, partly out of empathy for her loneliness 30. Though he deliberately deprives Huo Yuhao of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm opportunity, he refuses to kill the boy and arranges a first soul ring for him, internally regarding stronger Wind Baboons as compensation 42.
Grateful and Generous: Zichuan strongly values reciprocity and sharing opportunities with those who support him. After securing resources from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he immediately decides to “take a portion of the immortal herbs … and distribute them to the senior brothers and sisters of the sect, as well as the contributing elders and deacons” 32. This thoughtfulness deeply moves Du Busi, who feels “absolute, unwavering determination to entrust everything to him” 21. Zichuan also shares the chance to bond with immortal grasses with his teacher and fellow disciples, demonstrating “gratitude and reciprocity” 21.
Mature and Thoughtful: Zichuan consistently acts with foresight and consideration for his sect. He carefully categorizes and preserves immortal herbs using special techniques, planning ahead for distribution 32. He shows “maturity and consideration for the sect” by wanting to share his gains, and when made successor, he is initially “surprised and uncertain” yet accepts the responsibility 32. His internal reflections reveal strategic thinking: “I just wanted to distribute some things to build favor” 33.
Strategic and Tactful: Zichuan is adept at navigating social and power dynamics with subtlety. When dealing with the immortal herbs, he uses “courage and tact” to hint at needing their assistance, which sparks their eagerness to offer themselves 19. He fabricates a story about his parents and a map to persuade Du Busi to take him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, performing emotions of “hesitation,” “guilt,” and “trust” to perfection 15. The God of Destruction acknowledges his “teachability” 21. He later extracts compensation from Scarlet King after the Three-Eyed Golden Lion takes Tang Ya's intended prey, and negotiates an ongoing arrangement with the Auspicious Beast 59.
Sincere and Broad-Minded: While capable of deception for greater goals, Zichuan’s genuine nature wins hearts. During the distribution of immortal herbs, his “sincerity and broad-mindedness” win the respect and admiration of sect members, turning initial complexity among rivals like Long Aotian into “admiration and support” 33. He integrates into the Body Sect through “polite and sincere interactions” 11, and Du Busi notes his “temperament seemed decent” 5.
Remorseful Yet Determined: Zichuan experiences guilt over his deceptions but does not let it sway his objectives. He feels “remorse for deceiving Du Busi but remains determined to obtain the resources of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well” 15. He inwardly resolves to “compensate his teacher and the sect when he had the chance” 15, showing a balance of ethical awareness and ambition.
Energetic and Mischievous: From his earliest appearance, Zichuan is “initially portrayed as energetic and somewhat mischievous” 1. This energy persists as he throws himself into training and bonding with sect members, and his playful side surfaces in teasing interactions, such as with Tang Ya or the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Resilient and Strong-Willed: Zichuan can endure extreme physical and spiritual suffering without losing clarity. He withstands the concurrent sacrifices of Bear Lord and Bi Ji, directing the two immense forces through his Dual Soul Cores despite repeated bodily tearing and repair 108. He also continues to resist Ye Xishui's overwhelming restraint even when near death, driven by his refusal to die before fulfilling his ambitions 83.
Martial Soul and Abilities
Dual Heart Martial Soul
Zichuan’s martial soul is a unique Dual Heart configuration, consisting of the Heart of Destruction and the Heart of Life, both located in his chest. Unlike ordinary Twin Martial Souls that possess two martial soul systems but a single soul power core, his two hearts each function as an independent core, granting him double the soul power capacity, recovery speed, and a qualitative leap in soul power purity and density 5 6. This dual-core system forms a perfect cultivation closed loop: the Heart of Destruction absorbs and processes energy, while the Heart of Life repairs and sustains the body, allowing for rapid refinement of soul rings and medicines that would overwhelm ordinary soul masters 8 14. Du Busi, a 98th-rank Super Douluo, was astonished by the unprecedented nature of the Dual Heart, noting that although Twin Martial Souls are not rare, having two attributes so extremely opposed yet perfectly coexisting in one body is unheard of 5. The two hearts can be activated independently or in tandem, and switching between them changes Zichuan’s physical appearance—hair color, eye patterns, and aura—to match the activated heart’s attribute 5.
After reaching Soul Sage rank, the two hearts condense into Yin-Yang complementary Twin Soul Cores. These Soul Cores give him extraordinarily dense soul power, continuous energy output, and the ability to drive several major amplification skills simultaneously 100 101. Their coexistence allows the opposing powers of life and destruction to produce a new composite force capable of threatening a Limit Douluo 100.
- Applications:
- Doubled soul power reserves allow Zichuan to outlast opponents and sustain high-intensity combat 12 24.
- Simultaneous activation of both hearts enables him to absorb and refine powerful external energies (e.g., thousand-year soul rings, immortal herbs) far beyond his level 8 22 23.
- The closed loop of destruction absorption and life healing makes cultivation pills and medicines far more effective, as seen with Mystic Water Pills 14.
- The Twin Soul Cores provide near-continuous combat output, enabling Zichuan to bombard Ye Xishui with sustained attacks despite her status as a Limit Douluo 100 101.
- Limitations:
- The energy from the two hearts must remain in a delicate balance; if one heart overwhelms the other, it could cause bodily harm (though this balance is naturally maintained) 8.
- Sudden absorption of immense external energy can destabilize his dual powers, forcing him to vent destructive force through battle before regaining control 108 109.
Heart of Destruction
The Heart of Destruction is the left-chest martial soul, embodying a pure and domineering destruction attribute. When activated, Zichuan’s hair turns dark red, dark purple destruction patterns appear in his pupils, and an aura of annihilation emanates from his body, cracking and turning the ground beneath him to sand 1 5. This martial soul’s quality is described as in no way inferior to top-tier tool martial souls and even superior in some aspects, with a heart-stopping intent of destruction that makes even a powerhouse like Du Busi feel instinctive discomfort 5. The Heart of Destruction serves as the primary offensive and absorptive core, channeling the violent soul power from destruction-attribute soul rings into Zichuan’s body and powering his most aggressive skills 8 27. Its soul power is overbearing and erodes enemy defenses, as seen when it corroded Long Aotian’s skin during their spar 12.
- Applications:
- Provides a massive boost to offensive power, with the Battle Blood Boiling skill increasing all attributes by 30% and reducing pain by 50% when activated 9 12.
- The Destruction Form grants access to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw external soul bone ability, enabling Zichuan to tear through enemy soul skills and defenses with ease 9 27.
- The pure destruction attribute can instantly annihilate evil soul master powers, as demonstrated against Raven’s blood ravens 39.
- Its later skills include Destruction Pulse and Destruction Thunder Tribulation, the latter of which carries an intrinsic purifying and suppressive effect against Evil Soul Masters 56 81 100.
- Limitations:
Heart of Life
The Heart of Life is the right-chest martial soul, embodying a gentle and nurturing life attribute. When activated, Zichuan’s hair turns emerald green, his eyes become warm jade-like, and a vitality that nourishes all things radiates from his body, causing withered plants to regrow and cracked stone to be covered in moss 1 5. This martial soul is the exact opposite of the Heart of Destruction yet originates from the same source, providing endless life energy that can heal wounds and restore the environment 5. The Heart of Life acts as the primary defensive and restorative core, constantly repairing damage inflicted by the Heart of Destruction’s violent energy and even healing others, as Zichuan demonstrated by healing Long Aotian’s wounds after their duel 13. Its physical strength is also considerable—Zichuan threw a punch in Life Form that made the air whine despite its gentle nature 5.
- Applications:
- Enables rapid self-healing during absorption of powerful soul rings, allowing Zichuan to survive and refine energies that would kill any other soul master at his level 8.
- Can heal external injuries on others, providing utility in team situations 13.
- Sustains the body’s balance when the Heart of Destruction is active, ensuring that the tearing and rebuilding of meridians results in stronger, wider channels 8.
- Its pure life aura rapidly heals and nourishes soul beasts, even loosening the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation bottleneck and forming the basis for their alliance 57 59.
- Life Praise provides rapid restoration of Zichuan's physical strength and soul power, while Birth of the Flowering Tree World causes massive life energy to erupt through the environment for battlefield control and escape 100 102.
- Limitations:
- The healing process, while effective, does not eliminate pain completely; Zichuan still experiences agony during intense absorption 8.
- The life attribute’s offensive power is less direct than destruction; its main combat contribution is through support and durability rather than damage.
Soul Rings
Zichuan’s soul ring configuration is unprecedented in its quality and cultivation years. By the time he becomes a Soul Sage, he possesses one black ten-thousand-year ring, one orange-gold two-hundred-thousand-year ring, four red hundred-thousand-year rings, and one radiant gold million-year ring 73 86. The first soul ring, a thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, was absorbed as his first ring—a feat normally impossible for a first-ring soul master—giving him the Battle Blood Boiling skill 8 9. The second soul ring, an orange-gold ring symbolizing 200,000 years of cultivation, came from the sacrifice of the Aromatic Silk Beauty, an immortal herb that bestowed a skill of omniscient perception and dominion 22 24. The third and fourth soul rings, both crimson hundred-thousand-year rings, were obtained from the sacrifices of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass (attribute: extreme ice, enhancing Heart of Life) and the Infernal Delicate Apricot (attribute: extreme fire, enhancing Heart of Destruction) 22 23. His radiant gold million-year ring resulted from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's selective sacrifice, which stripped away most of its incompatible ice energy and excessive spiritual power while retaining its spiritual origin and Dao Rhyme 44. Bear Lord and Bi Ji later sacrificed simultaneously, granting two further hundred-thousand-year rings corresponding to destruction and life 108.
- Applications:
- Each soul ring grants a unique, powerful soul skill: Battle Blood Boiling boosts all attributes by 30%; the Aromatic Silk Beauty skill provides perception and control; the extreme ice and fire skills offer versatile elemental attacks and defenses 9 24.
- Tulip Guardian and Destruction Pulse are major amplification skills that can raise Zichuan's battle strength to Super Douluo level for a short period 56 76.
- The million-year ring strengthens his spiritual origin and permits Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to reside within his Sea of Consciousness as a Soul Spirit-like companion 44 94.
- The high-year rings allow Zichuan to fight far above his cultivation level—by rank 70, he can exchange blows with the Limit Douluo Ye Xishui 100 101.
- Limitations:
Soul Bones and Special Abilities
Zichuan possesses the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear External Soul Bone, which manifests through his right hand and grants the destructive Dark Gold Terrorclaw ability 9 27. He later obtains the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign's head soul bone after confronting and killing the sovereign 94 100. This head soul bone anchors powerful mental defenses within his Sea of Consciousness and grants access to the sovereign's abilities.
- Evil Eye Tyrant Skull: Stabilizes Zichuan's Sea of Consciousness alongside Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the immortal herb souls, making even Ye Xishui's soul-devouring technique ineffective 100.
- Mental Storm: A sixth soul skill unleashed through the Evil Eye Tyrant Skull, combining the sovereign's spiritual origin with Zichuan's destruction and life powers to disrupt an opponent's Sea of Consciousness 100.
- Light of Time and Space: The Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign's life-bound spatial-temporal ability. Zichuan uses it to injure and delay Ye Xishui, creating an opening to escape 101 102.
- Eye of Destiny: The nascent Eye of Destiny formed after the Three-Eyed Golden Lion voluntarily shared her origin of fate with Zichuan. It establishes a bidirectional sharing of fortune and causal ties, binding him closely to the Emperor Auspicious Beast and the Star Dou Great Forest 59 60.
Domains
Zichuan obtained two domains—the Destruction Domain and the Life Domain—upon completing the first trial of the God King Nine Trials 4. The Destruction Domain suppresses all attributes of non-friendly units within its range by 20% and reduces their recovery speed for life, soul power, and mental power by 20%. The Life Domain increases all attributes of friendly units by 20% and boosts their recovery speeds for life, soul power, and mental power by 20% 9. These domains complement his Dual Heart perfectly, amplifying his offensive and defensive capabilities simultaneously. Du Busi noted that the combination of dual domains with Zichuan’s double soul power and Battle Blood Boiling would create an overwhelmingly powerful combat synergy 9.
- Applications:
- Destruction Domain can be activated to cripple an enemy’s performance in battle, making them slower, weaker, and slower to regenerate 9 13.
- Life Domain can be activated to support allies or enhance Zichuan’s own endurance during prolonged fights 9.
- The domains can likely be used separately or together, though the context does not specify simultaneous activation.
- Limitations:
- Domain activation likely requires soul power expenditure, though the exact cost is not stated.
- The domains may have a limited range; their effectiveness against opponents far stronger than Zichuan is not explored in the provided context.
Power Progression
| Age | Soul Power Level | Soul Rings | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~6 | 13 | 1 Purple (thousand-year) | First soul ring obtained from a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear aged over 1,100 years, absorbed with the aid of his Dual Heart Martial Soul. Gained the first soul skill Battle Blood Boiling and an External Soul Bone. |
| 6.5 | 20 | 1 Purple | Reached level 20 after three months of rapid cultivation using Mystic Water Pills, Soul Raising Pills, and thousand-year Whale-Shark meat, his dual hearts accelerating digestion and absorption. |
| ~7 | 28 (threshold) | 1 Purple, 1 Orange-gold, 2 Red | Absorbed the sacrifices of three hundred-thousand-year immortal herbs: Aromatic Silk Beauty (200,000+ years, orange-gold ring), Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass (100,000+ years, red ring), and Infernal Delicate Apricot (100,000+ years, red ring). His soul power jumped from level 20 to the threshold of level 28 with a solid foundation. |
| 12 (physically ~17-18) | 60 | 1 Black, 1 Orange-gold, 3 Red | Five years of further cultivation and resource accumulation. His soul rings now comprised a black ten-thousand-year ring, the orange-gold ring from Aromatic Silk Beauty, and three red hundred-thousand-year rings. He sparred with Long Aotian (level 58) and prepared to intercept the million-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm for his next soul ring. |
| ~12 | 60 | 1 Black, 1 Orange-gold, 3 Red, 1 Radiant Gold | Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sacrificed to Zichuan after selectively retaining its million-year spiritual origin and Dao Rhyme. Its consciousness entered Zichuan's Sea of Consciousness, while the sacrifice formed a radiant gold million-year soul ring 44. |
| 13 | 66 | 1 Black, 1 Orange-gold, 4 Red, 1 Radiant Gold | Reached Spirit Emperor rank and was able to overwhelm Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng, a level 94 Titled Douluo, after displaying his six-ring configuration 85 86. |
| 13 | 70 | 1 Black, 1 Orange-gold, 4 Red, 1 Radiant Gold | Completed the sixth trials of the Destruction and Life God inheritances, obtained two God-Bestowed Soul Rings, and advanced to Soul Sage rank after resolving his Yin-Yang complementary Twin Soul Core bottleneck 82 100 101. |
| 13 | 78 | 1 Black, 1 Orange-gold, 6 Red, 1 Radiant Gold | Bear Lord and Bi Ji simultaneously sacrificed to him, adding two hundred-thousand-year rings aligned with destruction and life. Zichuan suppressed the gain at rank 78 to stabilize his foundation, then used battle with Di Tian to vent and consolidate the unstable power 108 110. |
Relationships
Du Busi
Du Busi, the Sect Master of the Body Sect, became Zichuan's teacher immediately after witnessing the boy's Twin Heart Martial Soul and innate full soul power, claiming him as his personal disciple with overbearing protectiveness 4. Their relationship deepened rapidly as Du Busi recognized Zichuan's extraordinary destiny. Du Busi took Zichuan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, declared the entire treasure trove Zichuan's private property, and expressed awe upon learning of Zichuan's dual divine inheritance 17 19. Zichuan, in turn, demonstrated profound gratitude by actively securing immortal herbs for his teacher and the sect, moving Du Busi to tears and prompting the elder to entrust everything to his disciple 21. Du Busi used a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to attempt a breakthrough to Limit Douluo, and after succeeding, he publicly named Zichuan as the first-in-line successor of the Body Sect, defending the decision with unwavering authority 23 31 33. Throughout, Du Busi's pride, trust, and willingness to support Zichuan's growth defined a master-student bond built on mutual respect and shared ambition 14 15.
After Zichuan's later adventures, Du Busi continues to support him without reproaching his provocations against Shrek or the risks he takes. He helps assess Zichuan's unprecedented dual-core cultivation issue and remains proud of his disciple's advancement to rank 78 before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament 62 110.
Long Aotian
Long Aotian, a prodigy of the Body Sect, first encountered Zichuan through a spirited duel in which he voluntarily suppressed his soul power to match Zichuan's level, earning mutual respect after witnessing Zichuan's fighting spirit 12. When Du Busi announced Zichuan as the sect's successor, Long Aotian was initially surprised and scrutinized the decision, but his attitude shifted to full support after Zichuan distributed immortal herbs for the sect's benefit 32 33. The immortal grasses of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well even expressed willingness to bond with Long Aotian, seeing him as worthy of a contract, further solidifying the two disciples' comradely rivalry 21.
Five years later, Long Aotian reaches rank 58 and challenges Zichuan again, but acknowledges the widening gulf in their strength after Zichuan's level 60 power and physical prowess compel him to abandon the match 34 35. He later represents the Body Sect alongside Zichuan during the academy exchanges and tournament period 73.
Tang Ya
Zichuan first encountered Tang Ya when the God of Destruction assigned her as his destined wife, pushing him to rescue her from the Iron Blood Sect's persecution 25. After saving her and her grandmother from Tang Sect disciples, Tang Ya mistook Zichuan for a fellow orphan, hugging him and crying, forging a bond rooted in shared loneliness 28. Their relationship developed as Zichuan trained alongside her, with Tang Ya's soul power rising rapidly and her confidence growing; when Du Busi emerged from seclusion, she left resolutely after a heartfelt farewell, leaving Zichuan with complex, stirring emotions 31. The God of Destruction repeatedly teased Zichuan about future romantic possibilities with her 25 28 29 36.
Tang Ya later accompanies Zichuan in the Star Dou Great Forest, where he protects her during her hunt for soul rings. With his support and Scarlet King's replacement of the stolen prey, she absorbs a Life Elk soul ring and advances directly to level 53 55 60. She is perceptive of Zichuan's manipulative method in befriending the Three-Eyed Golden Lion but remains grateful for his protection and assistance 58.
Wang Dong
Zichuan encountered Wang Dong—secretly Tang San's daughter, Tang Wutong, disguised as a boy—while traveling alone in the Star Dou Great Forest 36. The God of Destruction immediately recognized her aura, expressing intense hatred for Tang San's manipulation of his daughter's fate, including splitting her soul to bind her to a chosen "son-in-law" 36. Despite Zichuan's initial reluctance, the God of Destruction relentlessly encouraged him to pursue Wang Dong romantically, framing it as an act of defiance against Tang San 36 37. Zichuan eventually relented, deciding to approach her, viewing it as part of his broader plan to claim what he saw as rightfully his 37.
Wang Dong later witnesses Zichuan's overwhelming strength in his confrontations with Shrek's leading students, including Ma Xiaotao, alongside Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao 70.
God of Destruction
The God of Destruction, a remnant consciousness residing in Zichuan's mind, revealed himself as Zichuan's divine "father," having produced him through the convergence of his power with the Goddess of Life's 2. Their relationship is one of constant manipulation and guidance: the God of Destruction asserts his authority as a mentor, spoon-feeds Zichuan resources and opportunities, and pushes him to accept destiny without reservation 2 4 23. He teases Zichuan about romantic prospects and assigns him a wife (Tang Ya, later Wang Dong), justifying it as necessary for a future God King 25 28 29 36. Despite his condescending attitude toward human power levels, the God of Destruction shows genuine investment in Zichuan's growth, claiming to act for his own good and expressing satisfaction when Zichuan follows his plans 4 15 23. The bond is one of mutual dependence, though marked by the God of Destruction's overbearing will and Zichuan's cautious compliance 2 15.
The remnant later intervenes directly against the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign, freezing its Light of Time and Space and allowing Zichuan to survive 94. It is ultimately lost during the conflict surrounding Zichuan's escape from Ye Xishui, an event that leaves Zichuan grieving deeply 102.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm initially views Zichuan as the human who ruined its intended sacrifice to Huo Yuhao and attacks him with mental pressure 42 43. After Zichuan overwhelmingly suppresses and humiliates it, the silkworm reluctantly agrees to sacrifice to him upon seeing the potential of his Dual Heart Martial Soul and exceptional ring configuration 44. It deliberately strips away most of its incompatible ice energy, preserving its million-year spiritual origin and Dao Rhyme for Zichuan's radiant gold ring 44.
Its consciousness resides in Zichuan's Sea of Consciousness thereafter. It protects Zichuan from the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign's mental attack and provides guidance during later crises, establishing a relationship based on dependence, awe, and reluctant loyalty 94 101 102.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion
Zichuan first meets the Three-Eyed Golden Lion when she steals the Life Elk intended as Tang Ya's soul ring 55. Angered by her arrogance, he activates his major enhancement skills and beats the Emperor Auspicious Beast into submission 56. He then uses the Heart of Life to heal her injuries, nurtures her bloodline, and persuades her that they should be friends, exploiting her attraction to his life aura 57 58.
Known to Zichuan as “Little Gold,” the lion becomes a powerful but shrewd ally. In exchange for monthly access to his life aura, she promises to protect him through Scarlet King and even Di Tian 59. She subsequently shares her origin of fate with him, producing the prototype of the Eye of Destiny and binding their fortunes together; Zichuan realizes that she had sought his immense fortune as much as his life energy 60. Di Tian later recognizes that their fortune-binding has benefited her 76.
Ye Xishui
Ye Xishui, the level 99 Limit Douluo Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Spirit Cult, initially pursues Zichuan after he kills the Zhongli Three Fiends in the Demonic Forest 81 83. Her overwhelming strength forces Zichuan to claim that he is an Evil Soul Master, leading her to take him to the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters rather than kill him 83 85. She appoints him Holy Son and intends to groom him as her successor, despite knowing he is Du Busi's personal disciple and the Body Sect's Young Sect Master 85 88.
Ye Xishui seeks to control Zichuan through a Blood Soul Mark placed in his Sea of Consciousness, offering accelerated cultivation and authority while retaining power over his life and death 88 89. Zichuan outwardly accepts the Holy Son treatment while planning escape. After he acquires the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign's power and reaches Soul Sage, their relationship turns openly hostile: Zichuan resists her at a level comparable to an ordinary Super Douluo, eventually using Light of Time and Space and Birth of the Flowering Tree World to escape 100 102.
Di Tian
Di Tian, Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest, initially appears as a distant authority connected to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and her fate-sharing arrangement with Zichuan 59 60. He later acknowledges Zichuan's strength, courage, and temperament after Zichuan forces Bear Lord back during a test of physical power 76. Though wary of Zichuan's growing influence on the continent, Di Tian arranges for Bear Lord and Bi Ji to sacrifice to him and personally supervises the dangerous process 108.
When Zichuan loses control after the twin sacrifices, Di Tian battles and suppresses him with superior power, including the Dragon God Claw, allowing Zichuan to vent and stabilize his new strength 109. Di Tian subsequently recognizes his extraordinary potential and regards him as a possible future threat to Douluo Continent's balance 110.
Plot Synopsis
Zichuan's journey begins in Disabled Village, where he undergoes his Spirit Awakening and awakens two Martial Souls—both hearts—the Heart of Destruction and the Heart of Life, with full innate Soul Power 1. Wang Long-Arm, a deacon from the Body Sect, witnesses this extraordinary event and brings Zichuan to the sect's attention. Du Busi, the Body Sect Master, quickly recognizes Zichuan's unique dual heart configuration, which grants him double the soul power recovery speed and capacity, as well as higher quality and purity compared to ordinary Soul Masters. Du Busi immediately begins grooming Zichuan, gifting him Mystic Water Pills, Soul Raising Pills, and thousand-year Whale Shark Beast meat to accelerate his cultivation 6. Zichuan integrates into the Body Sect, bonding with fellow disciples through training and sparring, and consumes top-tier pills daily thanks to his double hearts' efficiency. At the age of six and a half, he reaches level 20, shocking Du Busi 14.
Seizing the opportunity, Zichuan decides to ask Du Busi for help to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a legendary treasure basin filled with immortal herbs. He produces an aged map, claiming it was left by his parents, and his fabricated story of hesitation and trust convinces Du Busi, who immediately sets off with Zichuan to the Sunset Forest 15. Upon discovering the well, Du Busi is overwhelmed with excitement and declares the entire treasure trove Zichuan's private property, recognizing his disciple's destiny 17. Within the well, immortal herbs and fierce beasts that have cultivated for at least a hundred thousand years are present. The Aromatic Silk Beauty, an immortal herb beast, recognizes Zichuan as a successor of the gods and offers him the chance to absorb their power as soul rings 19. Zichuan tactfully hints at his needs, and soon several immortal herbs actively offer themselves. He invites the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot to become his first and second soul rings, balancing yin and yang. Zichuan also generously shares the opportunity with his teacher and other sect disciples, securing benefits for them from the immortal grasses, which see his future ascension as a promising investment 21.
Absorbing the power of three hundred-thousand-year immortal herbs—Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and Aromatic Silk Beauty—Zichuan's soul rings upgrade to one purple, one orange-gold, and two red (hundred-thousand-year) soul rings, a configuration unique and powerful. His soul power jumps to the threshold of level 28 with a solid foundation 23. Simultaneously, Du Busi absorbs the power of an eighty-thousand-year Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which provides "Indestructible Diamond" and "Solidifying the Foundation and Cultivating the Origin" properties, and enters deep seclusion to attempt breaking through to level 99 Limit Douluo 23 31. During the half-year at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Zichuan not only cultivates but also carefully categorizes and stores a large quantity of immortal herb branches, fruits, and leaves, with help from the Aromatic Silk Beauty's soul in identifying medicinal properties 32. He also spends time with Tang Ya, who undergoes rapid growth, her Blue Silver Grass martial soul evolving toward the Blue Silver Emperor. Her soul power soars from level 18 to level 25, and she gains confidence to rebuild the Tang Sect 31.
Du Busi emerges from seclusion having broken through to level 99 Limit Douluo, his aura now that of a primordial beast awakening, with a hint of perfection 31. He and Zichuan depart for the Body Sect, where Du Busi publicly announces the discovery of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and Zichuan's role, declaring Zichuan as the successor of the sect. Zichuan then distributes immortal herbs to the sect members, prioritizing those who have contributed or need resources to break through bottlenecks, winning their hearts and silencing opposition 32 33. Long Aotian, initially complex about Zichuan's succession, comes to fully support him after sparring with Zichuan and realizing his superior physical prowess and soul power at level 60 35.
Years pass, and Zichuan's cultivation steadily improves. Having further digested the power of his soul rings, he firmly reaches the threshold of level 30, then later pushes to level 60, stuck at a bottleneck 31 35. The God of Destruction informs Zichuan that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, a million-year soul beast destined for Huo Yuhao, will soon appear at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Zichuan decides to intercept the silkworm to obtain its million-year soul ring, seeing it as the greatest opportunity on Huo Yuhao's path to rise and a way to cut off a key advantage arranged by Tang San 35. To ensure the silkworm cannot sacrifice to Huo Yuhao, Zichuan devises a plan to give Huo Yuhao a soul ring first, making his body unsuitable for the silkworm's sacrifice 41. He tracks down Huo Yuhao, who is struggling with a ten-year Wind Baboon during his first soul ring hunt. Zichuan saves him and helps him absorb the Wind Baboon soul ring, ensuring that when the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm arrives, it finds Huo Yuhao already absorbed a soul ring 41 42.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm appears, distressed and furious at Zichuan for ruining its plans. It attempts to attack Zichuan with mental pressure, but Zichuan effortlessly withstands the million-year soul beast's assault and retaliates with a powerful mental force, completely suppressing the silkworm. He then physically abuses the silkworm, which begs for mercy 43. Zichuan offers himself as a suitable vessel, pointing out his level 60 soul power, sturdy physique, excellent mental power, and empty soul ring slots. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, initially arrogant and cowardly, becomes desperate and submissive, recognizing Zichuan's overwhelming power. It ultimately sacrifices to him, retaining only its core spiritual origin and Dao Rhyme while stripping away most incompatible ice energy. Its consciousness enters his Sea of Consciousness, and Zichuan gains a radiant gold million-year ring 44.
During a later journey through the Star Dou Great Forest with Tang Ya, Zichuan defeats a Life Elk intended for her soul ring, only for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to steal the ring 55. Enraged, he activates Tulip Guardian, Destruction Pulse, and Battle Blood Boiling, defeats the Emperor Auspicious Beast, and then changes to Life Form to heal her 56 57. His mixture of force, healing, and persuasion leads the lion to accept friendship with him. When Scarlet King arrives, Zichuan extracts another Life Elk as compensation and allows Tang Ya to complete her absorption, raising her to rank 53 58 60. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion then shares her origin of fate with him, creating the nascent Eye of Destiny and linking their fortunes 59 60.
Zichuan continues demonstrating strength far beyond his nominal rank, defeating Shrek's elite students and humiliating Ma Xiaotao with a single punch despite her strongest attacks 67 70. His six-ring configuration—black, orange-gold, four red, and radiant gold—shocks Shrek, including Mu En and Xuan Zi 73. In the Star Dou Great Forest, he withstands Bear Lord's strike and forces the powerful Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King to retreat half a step, earning Di Tian's acknowledgment 76.
Seeking Sun Moon Empire Soul Tool knowledge, Zichuan enters the Demonic Forest and discovers Evil Soul Masters refining Beast Puppets 79. He destroys the Zhongli Three Fiends and their Evil Prison Three-Headed Dog using Destruction Thunder Tribulation, completing the sixth trials of his dual divine inheritances and gaining God-Bestowed Soul Rings 81 82. However, Ye Xishui, the level 99 Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Spirit Cult, intercepts him. Unable to resist her overwhelming power, Zichuan claims to be an Evil Soul Master; Ye Xishui takes him to the Holy Spirit Cult and makes him its Holy Son 83 87. Though she knows he is actually the Body Sect's Young Sect Master, she attempts to turn him into a controllable weapon by applying a Blood Soul Mark to his Sea of Consciousness 88 89.
While exploiting the Holy Spirit Cult's resources, Zichuan seeks a means to resolve his Soul Core issue. He eventually targets the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign, seeking its head soul bone to form a Soul Core 93 94. The confrontation becomes hostile, but Sky Dream Ice Silkworm blocks the sovereign's mental attack and the God of Destruction's remnant intervenes against its Light of Time and Space 94. Zichuan ultimately obtains the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign's power and head soul bone, condenses Yin-Yang complementary Twin Soul Cores, and breaks through to Soul Sage 100 101.
When Ye Xishui attempts to reassert control, Zichuan openly battles her. With Twin Soul Cores, the Evil Eye Tyrant Skull, and the combined powers of destruction and life, he fights at a level comparable to an ordinary Super Douluo and temporarily pressures the Limit Douluo 100 101. Ye Xishui's Demon Puppet Avatar eventually forces him back, but Zichuan uses Light of Time and Space to disrupt her and Birth of the Flowering Tree World to escape the Demonic Forest 101 102. In the aftermath, he mourns the loss of the God of Destruction's remnant while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the other beings in his Sea of Consciousness urge him to continue 102.
Zichuan later returns to the Star Dou Great Forest, where Di Tian arranges for Bear Lord and Bi Ji to sacrifice simultaneously to him. The pair's powers correspond to his Heart of Destruction and Heart of Life, respectively, enabling him to gain two additional hundred-thousand-year rings and surge from rank 70 to rank 78 108. The sheer influx destabilizes him, prompting a destructive rampage and a battle against Di Tian. Though Di Tian suppresses him with the Dragon God Claw, the confrontation lets Zichuan vent and stabilize his power 109. Two days before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament, Zichuan returns to the Body Sect at rank 78, where Du Busi receives him with pride and confidence in the sect's future 110.
