Background / History

Wang Dachui is the dark-skinned son of a blacksmith. His mother died during his childhood, and his family's hopes rest heavily on his success in the Martial Child Assessment. Before his breakthrough, he expects that failure would leave him following his father into blacksmithing. 31 34

At the Martial Child Academy, he is one of Zhang He's few friends alongside Tang Risong. Like other commoner students, he dreads the combat drills where wealthy students routinely bully those of lower status. 7

Wang initially hesitates to testify that Zhao Feng provoked a fight, fearing Dean Zhao's retaliation. He nevertheless nods in support of the truth, and Dean Zhao revokes his Martial Child qualifications under the pretext that he failed to stop the brawl. The shock causes Wang to faint; after waking, he is devastated that his family's path to advancement appears to be gone. 17

Zhang He convinces Wang and Tang Risong to train outside the academy for the remaining month before the assessment. Wang follows Zhang's tailored regimen, medicinal baths, and combat instruction with discipline, rapidly improving his cultivation and confidence. 17 18 19

At the Mengyin City Martial Child Assessment, Wang reaches the ninth puppet and places eighth overall. His result overturns the contempt of classmates who had mocked him and brings recognition from Prince Qu. 34 35 36

Appearance

Wang Dachui is a dark-skinned youth whose name was given to him by his blacksmith father. 7

• Dark-skinned complexion. 7
• His dark, weathered appearance and humble background lead wealthier students to look down on him. 31
• Develops a more formidable aura after Zhang He's month of training. 29

Personality

Wang Dachui is conscientious but initially timid and deeply insecure. He fears offending powerful figures such as Dean Zhao, yet cannot bring himself to deny the truth when asked who started the fight. 17

His family's expectations place immense pressure on him, making expulsion from the academy emotionally devastating. He later channels this anxiety into determined training and enters the assessment resolved to prove that he is “no mediocrity.” 17 31

He is grateful and loyal toward Zhang He, crediting his progress to Zhang's guidance. Along with Tang Risong, he later declines invitations from other families and seeks to pledge allegiance to Zhang He. 29 39

Abilities & Skills

Targeted Physical Training

Zhang He designs a personal regimen around Wang Dachui's weaknesses rather than assigning a uniform training routine. 18

• Uses individualized exercises, including increased weighted jumping to address his weaker areas. 18
• Trains with a weakened medicinal form of Ten-Perfect Dominant Qi, which greatly improves body tempering and Qi generation. 18
• Progresses from limited prospects at the academy to condensing a True Qi Seed within roughly a month. 25 29

Practical Combat Techniques

Wang trains in Zhang He's concise, combat-focused methods rather than formal martial arts. 19

• Applies joint attacks and strikes against vulnerable areas to neutralize opponents efficiently. 34
• Uses deliberately unorthodox techniques such as “Monkey Steals the Peach” and “Needle at the Bottom of the Sea.” 19 34
• Reaches the ninth puppet during the assessment, suffering only minor scrapes. 34
• His fighting style is judged by Prince Qu to have potential military value because it prioritizes speed, power, and results over appearance. 34 36

Relationships

• Zhang He — Close friend, mentor, and cultivation guide. Zhang He helps Wang recover from expulsion, trains him, and assists him in condensing a True Qi Seed. 17 18 19 29
• Tang Risong — Close friend and fellow trainee. Tang defends Wang against mockery, trains alongside him, and later joins him in offering allegiance to Zhang He. 31 39
• Wang Dachui's father — A blacksmith who attends the Martial Child Assessment and supports his son; Wang vows not to disappoint him. 31 34
• Dean Zhao Wencai — Former academy dean who expels Wang by accusing him of “inaction” during the brawl. 17
• Prince Qu — Chief examiner who recognizes the value of Wang's combat methods after observing the assessment. 34 36
