Background

Chen Xin spent his life pursuing the sword path and became the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s foremost offensive powerhouse. In his youth, he survived repeated assassination attempts by Spirit Hall; during one such ambush, he turned falling rain into sword qi and slew dozens of attackers without allowing them near him. 8

During Spirit Hall’s Soul Hunting Operation against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Xin faced four Title Douluo alone to protect the sect’s retreat. He lost his right arm to a surprise attack, but seized the Seven Kill Sword with his left hand and unleashed a life-burning strike that incapacitated three attackers, allowing Ning Fengzhi and the surviving sect members to escape. 9

Left permanently damaged by the battle, Chen Xin trained his sword with his left hand until he broke through to level 97. The Heavenly Dao Gold List later identified his injuries as an obstacle that had supposedly ended his prospects of further advancement. 9

His fifteenth-place ranking brought a Heavenly Dao reward that restored his right arm, healed his internal damage, raised him to level 98, evolved his martial soul, and bestowed a 100,000-year soul ring. 9

Appearance

Chen Xin is an older swordsman associated with spotless white robes and a composed, dignified bearing. After being severely injured by Tang Xiao, his white hair was stained with blood; forcing his Heavenly Dao reward to its peak also made his aged appearance seem noticeably younger. 8 12 13

• Usually carries or manifests the Seven Kill Sword. 4 8
• Wore white robes during the defense of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 8 9
• Lost his right arm during the Soul Hunting Operation before the Heavenly Dao restored it. 9
• His evolved sword bears dark-golden Heavenly Dao runes in place of the original “Kill” character. 9

Personality

Chen Xin is resolute, disciplined, and intensely proud of his swordsmanship. Even after losing an arm and believing his cultivation had reached its limit, he continued practicing until he attained a new understanding of the sword path. 9

His loyalty to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect outweighs his concern for personal survival. Although Tang Xiao’s power left him gravely injured, Chen Xin stood again rather than allow the sect to be trampled without resistance. 12

Chen Xin can also recognize genuine strength. While watching Golden Crocodile Douluo’s past battle with his grandfather, he acknowledged his enemy as a worthy opponent; he likewise judged Bi Ji’s healing ability deserving of her ranking. 17 43

Major Arcs

Heavenly Dao Ranking and Reward

Chen Xin was revealed as fifteenth on the Peak Powerhouse Ranking, a result that shocked the continent because he was already a level 97 peak Titled Douluo. The subsequent reward removed the injuries that had limited him and elevated him beyond his former ceiling. 8 9

Battle at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

When Tang Xiao arrived to rescue Ah Yin, Chen Xin initially addressed him respectfully but became hostile after Tang Xiao dismissed the sect. With Ning Fengzhi’s support and Gu Rong fighting beside him, Chen Xin attacked Tang Xiao; after being defeated, he forced his rewards to peak level 98 and launched Heavenly Dao Sword, Sever. 11 12

The attack failed completely. Tang Xiao immobilized Chen Xin, shattered his evolved sword, and left him severely wounded. Being spared rather than killed devastated Chen Xin’s pride and shattered his Dao heart. 13 14
