Background / History

Hu Jie is a Body Sect prodigy approximately sixteen or seventeen years old. He possesses Twin Body Martial Souls—the stomach and buttocks—whose unusual physical manifestations leave him extremely broad, with an enlarged abdomen and rear. At the time of his introduction, he is a five-ring Soul King and five years older than Xiao Cheng. 52

He harbors an unrequited crush on Su Wanjun, Mu Man’s girlfriend. Although Su Wanjun remains polite but distant toward him, Hu Jie resents Mu Man and avoids openly provoking the Young Sect Master. 52

Seeking to display his strength before Su Wanjun while avoiding a direct conflict with Mu Man, Hu Jie challenges Xiao Cheng to a spar at the Body Sect training grounds. He enters the match convinced that his five-ring cultivation and twin martial souls will overpower Xiao Cheng. 52 53

Appearance

Hu Jie wears the standard Body Sect uniform, though its tight fit is strained by his distinctive Body Martial Souls. He is described as being nearly as wide as he is tall. 52

• A round, protruding abdomen likened to a ten-month pregnancy. 52
• Exaggerated buttocks that bob visibly as he walks. 52
• During stomach Martial Soul Possession, his belly enlarges further and gains a metallic golden sheen, resembling an inverted iron pot. 53
• His arms and thighs thicken substantially during Martial Soul Possession. 53

Personality

Hu Jie is vain, smug, and highly conscious of his appearance. He attempts to compensate by emphasizing his talent and strength, particularly in front of Su Wanjun. His treatment of Xiao Cheng begins as patronizing confidence, including an offer to let his younger opponent strike first. 53

He grows increasingly frustrated when Xiao Cheng proves stronger, but does not completely lose his tactical judgment. Once ordinary attacks fail, Hu Jie secretly accumulates hidden shockwave force in Xiao Cheng’s body to create an opening for his strongest attack. 54

His defeat leaves him humiliated and resentful. While unconscious in the infirmary, he dreams of being mocked for losing to an eleven-year-old and for pursuing Su Wanjun. 54

Abilities & Skills

Twin Body Martial Souls

Hu Jie possesses a stomach Martial Soul and a buttocks Martial Soul. His stomach Martial Soul is the stronger of the two, while the buttocks Martial Soul is considered low-grade by Body Martial Soul standards. 53

• A five-ring Soul King with the stomach Martial Soul; its rings comprise four purple rings and one black ring. 53
• The buttocks Martial Soul has three purple soul rings. 53
• His second awakenings are Silver-tier for the stomach and Bronze-tier for the buttocks. 54
• The combined state is referred to as “Silver Belly, Bronze Butt.” 54

Stomach Martial Soul Skills

Hu Jie’s primary Martial Soul specializes in defense, impact attacks, control, and force redirection. 53 54

• Iron Belly Fat Wall — Hardens his abdomen into a powerful golden defensive barrier. 53
• Mountain-Crushing Charge — Concentrates power in his abdomen and launches him forward like a cannonball. 53
• Defensive Force Unloading — Uses high-frequency abdominal vibrations to disperse incoming force. 53
• Mount Tai Overhead / Mount Tai Presses Down — A descending body slam that creates a localized seismic wave with a dizzying effect. 54
• Devouring Black Hole — Generates a Soul Power vortex that drags opponents toward him. 54

Buttocks Martial Soul Skills

His secondary Martial Soul supplements his close-quarters fighting with mobility, impact, and internal disruption. 54

• Flash Step — A sudden, unconventional short-range movement technique. 54
• Star-Shattering Hammer — A spinning, descending attack driven by centrifugal force and armor-piercing power. 54
• Shockwave — Releases an invisible wave capable of harming internal organs and spiritual power. 54
• Hidden Force Infiltration — Plants small quantities of shockwave force through repeated clashes, then detonates them to cause internal shock damage and stiffness. 54

Tornado Mountain-Crushing Charge

Hu Jie’s strongest documented technique combines Mountain-Crushing Charge and Star-Shattering Hammer while empowered by both Martial Souls’ second awakenings. He spins like a top, using his enlarged stomach and buttocks to generate enormous impact force. 54

• The technique is powerful enough that even a Soul Sage would avoid receiving it head-on without Battle Armor or a Martial Soul Avatar. 54
• It consumes substantial power and exposes Hu Jie’s strongest trump card. 54
• Xiao Cheng evades it with Ten Thousand Tribulations Molting Body, causing Hu Jie to strike only a discarded false body. 54

Relationships

• Su Wanjun — Hu Jie has a one-sided crush on her; she treats him courteously but keeps him at a distance. 52
• Mu Man — Rival for Su Wanjun’s affection. Hu Jie resents Mu Man but does not dare confront him openly. 52
• Xiao Cheng — Challenged him to a spar in an attempt to establish superiority. Xiao Cheng defeated Hu Jie and broke his stomach Martial Soul, though without permanently damaging his foundation. 52 54

Story Role / Major Arcs

Encounter with Su Wanjun

Hu Jie encounters Su Wanjun while she is with Mu Man and Xiao Cheng. His evident affection for her and hostility toward Mu Man lead him to challenge Xiao Cheng instead. 52

Spar with Xiao Cheng

Hu Jie arrives at the Body Sect training grounds confident that his five-ring cultivation will ensure victory. Xiao Cheng’s four ten-thousand-year soul rings and overwhelming physical strength quickly overturn that expectation: Xiao Cheng cracks Hu Jie’s Iron Belly Fat Wall with one punch and outmatches him in successive close-quarters exchanges. 53

Hu Jie deploys his full set of skills, including Devouring Black Hole, Shockwave, hidden-force infiltration, his second awakenings, and Tornado Mountain-Crushing Charge. Xiao Cheng sheds the accumulated shockwaves and control effects with Ten Thousand Tribulations Molting Body, then defeats Hu Jie with Dragon Fist, shattering the defense of his stomach Martial Soul and knocking him unconscious. 54

Although Hu Jie’s stomach Martial Soul is broken in the match, Xiao Cheng deliberately avoids damaging his cultivation foundation; he can recover after treatment. 54

Trivia
