Background

Golden Crocodile is one of the senior members of Spirit Hall’s Consecration Hall and a lifelong companion of Qian Daoliu, Blue Phoenix, and Lion Douluo. Before Xiao Yao’s awakening, he was known as the Second Elder and was regarded as a combatant whose Golden Crocodile King martial soul possessed exceptional raw attributes. 4

When Lion Douluo announces that Xiao Yao has awakened the god-level Golden Lion Mastiff with innate level 20 soul power, Golden Crocodile is initially stunned and envious of Lion Douluo’s fortune. He nevertheless shares Lion Douluo’s happiness and joins Qian Daoliu in personally evaluating the child. 5 6

Golden Crocodile subsequently becomes one of Xiao Yao’s principal protectors and supporters. He takes part in the searches for the Golden Behemoth, Golden Xuanwu, and Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and personally locates the Golden Behemoth for Xiao Yao’s first spirit ring. 8 9 10 15

At the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Xiao Yao gives him the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, an immortal herb tailored to his earth affinity, crocodile martial soul, and golden bloodline. The herb allows him to attain level 99 and see a path beyond the limits that had constrained him for decades. 23 24

Golden Crocodile later remains among the Consecrated Elders supporting Xiao Yao when the latter uses his Mysterious Space to devour the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He is left astonished by the space’s growth and by Xiao Yao’s subsequent Taiji Yin-Yang Soul Core revelation. 28 29 30

• Thick scales fused into heavy alloy-like armor. 24
• Ferocious red-gold barbs at its joints. 24

Personality

Golden Crocodile is direct, competitive, and deeply invested in martial strength. He initially jokes with Lion Douluo about his grandson’s awakening, but his disbelief becomes genuine once he learns of Xiao Yao’s martial soul and innate level 20 soul power. 5

He values practical strength and recognizes Xiao Yao’s extraordinary potential without reservation. Though repeatedly shocked by Xiao Yao’s skills, he remains a dependable guardian, acting quickly during soul-beast hunts and supporting plans to optimize every one of Xiao Yao’s spirit rings. 9 10 15 18

After receiving an immortal herb and reaching level 99, Golden Crocodile considers Xiao Yao’s favor profound enough to treat him as family. He pledges to help secure Xiao Yao’s future soul rings and asks Xiao Yao to rely on him whenever needed. 24 26

Golden Crocodile is candid about the repeated upheaval of his expectations caused by Xiao Yao’s growth, humorously admitting that his worldview is repeatedly shattered whenever he accompanies the boy. 30
