Background
Xu Mengqing was born in Aolai City on the Douluo Continent to Xu Zhan, a level 31 Spirit Elder with the Bright Serpent Martial Soul, and Meng Ling'er, a woman who felt guilt for not possessing a powerful martial soul herself 1. At the age of six, during the annual Awakening Day ceremony at Red Mountain Academy, Xu Mengqing suddenly remembered memories that he understood to be from a past life, realizing he had transmigrated into this world 1. He awakened the Blue Silver Grass as his martial soul, a plant-type soul that is ordinarily considered weak and common, with only level-three innate soul power 3. However, he also possessed a second martial soul, the Holy Light Lizard, whose existence he and his family agreed to conceal for his protection 3.
His family soon expanded when his parents brought home a lost young girl named Na'er, whom they adopted after failing to find her family records 9. Xu Mengqing immediately formed a protective and loving bond with Na'er, vowing to keep her safe 9 16. The family's life in Aolai City was marked by close affection and support: Xu Zhan and Meng Ling'er encouraged their son’s cultivation, and the household was filled with warmth 1 10 17. Xu Mengqing’s childhood was not only defined by his family but also by his rapid growth as a cultivator. He discovered that his Blue Silver Grass could be shaped into a Taiji Bagua Array that accelerated his cultivation speed 14. This breakthrough allowed him to reach level 4 soon after, and over the following year he diligently studied and cultivated, reaching level 9 and nearing the peak of the Soul Scholar rank 14 17.
The most significant transformation in his martial soul came through the Holy Dragon Pearl, a mysterious ancient artifact that integrated into his spiritual sea, causing a painful yet powerful evolution 22. His Blue Silver Grass became tougher and more resilient, and his soul power surged, breaking through to a new realm 22. The integration also granted him access to the Dragon Pearl space and the Heaven-Swallowing Spirit-Devouring Art, a formidable cultivation technique 24. Rather than changing his twin-martial-soul nature, the Holy Dragon Pearl's power repeatedly evolved both of his martial souls. Following a half-month coma after an encounter with an Evil Soul Master, Xu Mengqing experienced a second awakening that saved his life and raised his soul power to level 30 188. His Blue Silver Grass completed its evolution into the Blue Silver King, while his spirit rings and spirit souls advanced to the thousand-year level 189. The Holy Light Lizard subsequently evolved into a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, granting him further crimson-gold spirit rings and dragon-type abilities 209 218.
Throughout his journey, his parents remained pillars of support: Xu Zhan arranged for martial arts training and taught him mecha design, while Meng Ling'er expressed her care through cooking and emotional reassurance 10 25 27. His father’s pride and his mother’s relief at his progress were constants in his upbringing 25. The backyard of their home became a cultivation ground where the Blue Silver Grass grew and mutated, even forming a formation that absorbed the essence of heaven and earth with eight elemental auras 144. Xu Mengqing later expanded the Holy Dragon Pearl Space into a diverse ecological secret realm, cultivating plants and soul beasts there to pursue the Blue Silver Emperor path of ruling over all plant life 145 271.
After suffering a fatal attack from an Evil Spirit Douluo, Xu Mengqing's soul entered an illusory life formed from his obsession with his former world. Refusing to abandon the people waiting for him on the Douluo Continent, he absorbed Origin Dragon Blood offered by the Holy Dragon Pearl, revived, and eradicated the Evil Spirit Douluo with an eruption of supreme holy power 184 185. Later, the Golden Ancient Tree's consciousness revealed that Xu Mengqing's soul had arrived on Douluo Star ten thousand years earlier than he believed, and that the Plane Core and Holy Dragon Pearl had negotiated over his presence and memories 274 275. The Plane Core and Elder Tree also admitted to guiding his early encounter with Na'er, hoping that he could help alter the Douluo Plane's threatened fate, though Xu Mengqing declined to become a Child of Destiny or Child of Nature 276.
Appearance
Xu Mengqing undergoes significant physical development during his early training. By the age of around twelve or thirteen, he has grown into a composed, sharp-eyed, and physically strong youth 27.
- Build: Physically strong and lean, with a powerful frame honed through rigorous spear training, dragon-blood refinement, and martial soul cultivation. His physical strength was already comparable to that of an ordinary level 39 Soul Grandmaster during his first year of spear training and later rose dramatically after absorbing Origin Dragon Blood 27 198.
- Hair color: Naturally short golden hair. While using Holy Light Lizard possession, it changes into lustrous white-gold hair 13.
- Eye color: Golden. His golden pupils are usually calm and gentle, but become sharp and lethal when he takes up a spear 27. During Holy Light Lizard or Five-Clawed Golden Dragon possession, his eyes become white-gold or golden vertical draconic pupils 13 223.
- Typical attire: No specific clothing is described in the available records; as a student, he wears academy clothing when required.
- Dragon traits: During possession or combat, white-gold or platinum scales can cover portions of his body, while dragon claws manifest on his hands 13 281.
Martial Souls
Blue Silver Grass
Xu Mengqing’s primary martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, is initially considered a common, weak spirit 2. Through a combination of fusion with external soul spirits, assimilation of ancient artifacts, and dedicated cultivation, the Blue Silver Grass undergoes repeated transformations that dramatically increase its toughness, durability, and life aura 22 23. After fusing with the Diamond Vine soul spirit, the Blue Silver Grass becomes metallic and emits a life aura, forming a white ten-year soul ring 23. Subsequent integration of the Holy Dragon Pearl’s power further enhances the martial soul’s resilience and soul power 22 24. Over a year of synchronizing with the Blue Silver Grass Bagua Formation, Xu Mengqing’s martial soul evolves to the level of a quasi‑Blue Silver King, granting him a deeper connection with all Blue Silver Grass plants 15. Following his second awakening, it fully evolves into the Blue Silver King, a form recognized by the plants within the Holy Dragon Pearl Space as their sovereign 189. In battle, Xu Mengqing can switch to a variant called the Blue Gold Blue Silver Grass, which is particularly effective in countering powerful offensive abilities such as Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Claw 151. The martial soul’s bloodline is confirmed to contain a trace of the Blue Silver King lineage, explaining his exceptional growth and skilled application 45. Later mutations cause the Blue Silver Grass to exhibit elemental properties corresponding to the eight trigrams, inspiring a future expansion into the Blue Silver Emperor path of ruling over all plant life 145. As the Blue Silver King, Xu Mengqing’s connection with his surroundings is further strengthened, enabling Blue Silver Perception and more effective environmental awareness 199.
Following his absorption of Life Gold and power from the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, the Blue Silver King developed a crystalline, pale gold-green form. The elemental powers associated with Little Vajra, Xiao Lian, and Little Red—metal, wood, and fire—became integrated into its branches as distinct patterns 270. It is approaching, but has not yet reached, the Blue Silver Emperor level 271.
- Quasi‑Blue Silver King: Evolved after one year of merging with the Blue Silver Grass Bagua Formation; increased soul power absorption and submission from other Blue Silver Grass 15.
- Blue Silver King (full evolution): Achieved following his second martial soul awakening; the plants in the Holy Dragon Pearl Space recognize Xu Mengqing as their king 189.
- Blue Gold Blue Silver Grass: A combat variant used in the Battle of the Twin Grasses; forms a shield wall capable of absorbing and countering powerful attacks 151.
- Elemental Mutation (Eight Trigrams): Blue Silver Grass within the Holy Dragon Pearl Space mutates to possess elemental attributes corresponding to the eight trigrams, setting the stage for a future “Blue Silver Emperor” evolution 145.
- Blue Silver Perception: His evolved Blue Silver Grass strengthens his bond with the environment and provides heightened sensory awareness during exploration and combat 199.
- Spirit Construct: Xu Mengqing can weave Blue Silver Grass into a lustrous silver spear marked with intricate patterns, demonstrating refined martial soul shaping and control 221.
- Endless Regeneration: Xu Mengqing can cover a battlefield in Blue Silver Grass that rapidly regenerates after destruction, repeatedly replacing destroyed vines and reinforcing restraints with metallic Blue Silver Grass 284.
- Crystalline Elemental Evolution: After refining Life Gold, the Blue Silver King develops crystalline branches marked by gold, deep-blue, and cyan patterns, integrating the elemental power of his three spirit souls 270 271.
Holy Light Lizard
Xu Mengqing’s second martial soul initially manifests as a white‑gold, lizard‑like creature with four claws, possessing a composite nature of Light, Holy, Destruction, and Devour attributes 3. He names it the Holy Light Lizard. Due to the potential danger of revealing a second martial soul, Xu Zhan advises him to keep it a secret 3. The Holy Light Lizard proves to be a powerful counter to soul beasts and martial souls with dark or destructive attributes, such as Wang Jinxi’s Bone Dragon King, where its aura overwhelms the opponent 84. During the Battle of the Twin Grasses against Tang Wulin, Xu Mengqing uses the Holy Light Lizard to counter Tang Wulin’s Blue Silver Grass, demonstrating its versatility 151. The martial soul’s aura is so potent that it affects nearby combatants, including Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, causing them to pause or react 84.
Through the Origin Dragon Blood and the Holy Dragon Pearl's influence, the Holy Light Lizard evolved into the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon 209. In this form, Xu Mengqing possesses overwhelming dragon might and powerful holy, destructive, and devouring energies. He has since openly displayed the evolved dragon martial soul during Shrek Academy assessments, alongside crimson-gold spirit rings 220. The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon is no longer merely a concealed ace, but one of Xu Mengqing's principal sources of direct combat power.
- Attributes: Light, Holy, Destruction, Devour 3.
- Combat Utility: Efficiently counters dark‑attribute martial souls like the Bone Dragon King 84.
- Aura Effect: Its presence disrupts or intimidates other martial souls and their wielders 84.
- Versatility: Can be switched to in battle to change the elemental matchup, as seen when it counters Tang Wulin’s Blue Silver Grass 151.
- Life-Force Devouring: Xu Mengqing can employ its Devour and Destruction attributes to absorb life force from Blue Silver Grass, strengthening both his body and martial soul; he remains cautious of the ability’s danger 13.
- Possession: Holy Light Lizard possession multiplies Xu Mengqing’s physical abilities and manifests white-gold hair, vertical pupils, and protective scales 13.
- Five-Clawed Golden Dragon: The evolved form of the Holy Light Lizard, possessing true dragon-type might and associated crimson-gold spirit rings 209 220.
- Dragon Claw: Xu Mengqing can manifest powerful white-gold or platinum claws, combining dragon bloodline power with his Holy, Light, and Destruction attributes 140 175 281.
- Dragon Kin: A spirit skill acquired by the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon following its evolution 209.
Abilities and Skills
Spirit Skills
Blue Silver Diamond Transformation: Xu Mengqing's first soul skill, obtained through fusion with the Diamond Vine soul spirit. It metallizes his Blue Silver Grass, dramatically increasing its toughness and durability 23. After the evolution of his spirit rings, he can employ the skill at a substantially greater level 189.
Rain of Life: A life-attribute spirit skill used alongside Blue Silver Diamond Transformation. It can restore Xu Mengqing’s condition during battle and was instrumental in his victory over the Dai Mubai phantom 140. Its power rises with the evolution of his spirit rings 189. It can also nourish plant life and accelerate the growth of Blue Silver Grass within the Holy Dragon Pearl Space 79.
Golden Dragon Battle Armor: Xu Mengqing's first crimson-gold Different-Colored Spirit Ring, associated with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, grants him the spirit skill Golden Dragon Battle Armor. This ability encases him in golden battle armor that provides significantly enhanced defense and a full-attribute boost to his physical and soul power capabilities. However, the skill demands extremely high soul power consumption; after a brief use in a spar against Wu Zhangkong, Xu Mengqing collapsed from exhaustion, highlighting the need for careful soul power management 192.
Parasitic Spores: After his coma following the battle with the Evil Soul Master, Xu Mengqing awakened with a new spirit skill named Parasitic Spores. Demonstrated to Wu Zhangkong, this ability is described as unique and receives his teacher's approval for its distinctive utility 196. As his third spirit skill, it spreads spores through low-level spirit beasts, eliminating them and absorbing their energy; its extensive use in the Spirit Ascension Platform made Xu Mengqing unwelcome there 199. It can also drain an opponent's soul power through Blue Silver Grass that has successfully entangled them 196.
Holy Dragon's Blessing: A defensive spirit skill granted by Xu Mengqing’s second crimson-gold spirit ring. It creates a golden barrier formed from the Power of Holy Light 218.
Holy Radiance Void-Devouring Thunder: An offensive spirit skill granted by Xu Mengqing’s second crimson-gold spirit ring. It condenses holy and devouring power into a thunderball, and Xu Mengqing can modify its composition by substituting the Devour attribute with Destruction for greater offensive force 218 220.
Self-Created Soul Skills
Modified Holy Radiance Void-Devouring Thunder: Xu Mengqing demonstrates a modified application of Holy Radiance Void-Devouring Thunder to Cai Yue'er, replacing its Devour attribute with Destruction and producing a thunderball powerful enough to attract her attention even after she blocks it with a Soul Power barrier 220.
Dragon Shocking the Heavens (in training): After witnessing Zhuo Shi’s dragon-bloodline palm technique, Xu Mengqing begins studying its circulation method and the integration of will, bloodline, martial soul, and vital energy 278 279.
Cultivation Techniques
Heaven-Swallowing Spirit-Devouring Art: Xu Mengqing learns this powerful cultivation technique upon first entering the Holy Dragon Pearl's space. The technique forms the foundation of his rapid soul power growth, and he practices it diligently, allowing him to reach level 10 spirit master shortly after his martial soul evolves and later achieve level 16 soul power within a year 24 27. It can refine absorbed life force, beast energy, medicinal power, and other external energy to strengthen his cultivation and body 134 215.
Spirit Devouring Chapter: A further cultivation technique obtained by Xu Mengqing, though he has not yet completed its cultivation 209.
Holy Dragon Pearl Space Modification: Recognizing the potential of the Holy Dragon Pearl's internal space for cultivation, Xu Mengqing begins transforming it using Bagua Formation principles. He plants Blue Silver Grass within the space to break his bloodline shackles and envisions creating a Blue Silver Grass empire. This ongoing project combines spatial manipulation with his martial soul's evolution, continuously nourishing his soul power and mental power through daily training within the pearl 28 116. He later expands it into a multi-zone ecological secret realm containing spirit plants, soul beasts, and a growing array of animal companions 145 261.
Physical Conditioning and Spear Mastery: Over the course of a year, Xu Mengqing trains intensely in spear techniques under Zhou Lie, progressing from a complete beginner to mastering basic forms and sparring effectively. His progress is so rapid that Zhou Lie leaves after one month, unable to keep pace. By the end of the year, Xu Mengqing's physical strength is comparable to an ordinary level 39 Soul Grandmaster, despite having only level 16 soul power 27.
Spirit Tower: After refining the medicinal power of Yin Spirit Wood, Xu Mengqing condenses a solid spiritual platform in his sea of consciousness and later solidifies the first level of his Spirit Tower through cultivation 215 261.
Mecha Design
Precision Drafting and Rapid Design: Xu Mengqing leverages the super-strong perception granted by his Holy Light Lizard Martial Soul and the natural affinity for energy pathways provided by his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Combined with mechanical principles from his past life, he draws mecha blueprints with extreme precision—lines are smooth, energy core positions, soul guidance circuit paths, and transmission gear layouts fall into place in a single pass without redundant strokes 99.
High-Level Design Proficiency: Xu Mengqing progresses quickly through the mecha design ranks. Within one year of study he reaches Level 1, and by the time he is in the Intermediate Division he is already a Level 2 Mecha Designer 27 93. His teacher, Yang Tian, personally guides him into the Level 4 mecha design system, which corresponds to black-grade mechas—the Federation's main combat force. In the mecha design competition finals, Xu Mengqing completes a set of Level 4 mecha design blueprints well ahead of all other contestants, showcasing his advanced capability 116 179. After three additional years of study and commission work, he reaches Level 5 Mecha Designer 198.
Mecha Manufacturing: Xu Mengqing is capable of carving intricate Soul Guidance Cores himself, complementing his theoretical design skill with practical manufacturing ability 260.
Mentorship and Resource Accumulation: Yang Tian, president of the East Sea Mecha Designer Association, takes Xu Mengqing as his personal disciple, providing him with a fifty-cubic-meter spatial ring, ten million Federal Coins, and his own personal notes on mecha design. Yang Tian also teaches him using a Battle Armor belt design blueprint and gives him a Soul Guidance Communicator linked to his signal 48 60. Later, Elder Cheng, head judge of the mecha design competition, gifts Xu Mengqing a storage ring containing his lifetime's work on mecha design, further enriching his knowledge base 170.
Combat Proficiency
Blue Silver Grass Mastery: Xu Mengqing demonstrates excellent control over his Blue Silver Grass martial soul in combat. In his battle against the Dai Mubai phantom during an intermediate assessment, he uses the grass to entangle and restrict his opponent while simultaneously employing spear techniques. His physical strength allows him to hold his ground against a powerful Tiger Martial Soul user for the required thirty seconds 138. In a subsequent battle against Ye Xinglan, he defeats her using precise Blue Silver Grass manipulations, earning respect from peers and marking him as a formidable opponent 168. He can extend this control over an entire arena, using endlessly regenerating metallic vines to immobilize even Wu Zhangkong 284.
Spear Techniques: Xu Mengqing’s spear training under Zhou Lie grants him a repertoire of basic techniques that he applies effectively in real combat. He combines these with his martial soul’s control to create an aggressive, multi-layered fighting style. His physical power, comparable to a level 39 Soul Grandmaster, makes his spear thrusts exceptionally strong, capable of shattering Wu Zhangkong's Ice Wall when amplified by his Golden Dragon Battle Armor 27 138 192.
Dark Gold Dreadclaw: Xu Mengqing possesses a mutated and sublimated Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Spirit Bone, whose power was enhanced by his bloodline. He can use its claws for extremely lethal close-range strikes, instantly defeating Jin Haiqian and Rong Dahuo during the Shrek selection battle 208 252.
Adaptability and Team Leadership: Xu Mengqing is an effective battlefield planner. In the Spirit Ascension Platform, he devises strategies against formidable soul beasts and coordinates Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yuena to carry them out 108. He later serves as the captain and core of the group, often taking the role of a Power Attack System Soul Master while Tang Wulin acts as the team’s controller 199. His ability to assess opponents' bloodline, soul power circulation, and combat roles also lets him provide rapid tactical guidance before battle 223.
Mental Power and Perception
Origin Spirit Realm Mental Power: At the Eastsea Spirit Pagoda, Xu Mengqing's mental power is tested and measured at the Origin Spirit Realm high-stage (98), a level that shocks the Spirit Transmitter. This exceptional mental power allows him to absorb two century-level spirit souls simultaneously and is a key factor in his rapid learning and precise mecha design 76.
Spirit Connection Realm Mental Power: Xu Mengqing's mental power later reaches 327, placing it in the high stage of the Spirit Connection Realm and providing him with an exceptional foundation for future advancement 149.
Super Perception from Holy Light Lizard Martial Soul: Xu Mengqing's Holy Light Lizard Martial Soul grants him super-strong perception, which he relies on for mecha design and combat. This perception enables him to draw intricate formation diagrams with extreme accuracy and to sense energy pathways instinctively, complementing his Blue Silver Grass martial soul’s natural affinity for energy 99. His mental power continues to grow through daily training and the nourishment of the Holy Dragon Pearl, further enhancing his perceptual abilities 116.
