Background / History
Xu Wuyi began as a student of Honghe No. 1 High School whose progress initially went unnoticed. By repeatedly completing one hundred effective training sessions, he triggered sudden enlightenments that rapidly raised his proficiency in the Basic Body Tempering Method. Wang Wenhai identified him as a potential dark horse for the martial arts sprint class, while Xu Wuyi chose to rely on disciplined daily practice even without medicinal support 8 9.
His exceptional mental aptitude became clear after he completed the first level of the Mountain Moving Method within several days and tested at Spiritual Level 7.5. He subsequently built combat experience through Star Martial Battle Net, developing a defensive counterattacking style centered on stability, efficient qi-and-blood control, and a spear-focused martial system 14 24 88.
Xu Wuyi rose from an obscure candidate to the top-ranked S-grade examinee in Dongjiang Province. His performance surprised provincial competitors; Yu Peiling stated that, at equal energy levels, she could not last three minutes against him 85. After entering Star Martial University, he became its top freshman, broke through to Martial Artist, and rejected a Qin Family sponsorship that would have obligated him to serve as a guest elder in the Astral Battlefield for ten years after reaching Xiantian 153 159.
As his strength grew, Xu Wuyi undertook increasingly dangerous Federation missions, entered Red Star after defeating Hong Nianyi’s phantom, and advanced from Martial Master to Xiantian. Grandmaster Yue Lianshan’s legacy, including the Volcano Wood Carving and Fire Source Stone, helped deepen his understanding of the Hundred Refinements Furnace and Heart Image path 197 273 407 419.
After becoming a Grandmaster, Xu Wuyi developed Order-based spear techniques and became a decisive force in rift warfare. He eliminated thousands of Star Beasts while preserving their corpses intact, allowing battle groups to recover valuable materials with far fewer losses 696 699 702. He later continued refining his body, laws, and Divine Intent through high-level exchanges, Astral Battlefield combat, and self-created cultivation methods 736 788 829.
Personality
Xu Wuyi is disciplined, patient, and intensely self-driven. He repeatedly favors gradual, stable cultivation over shortcuts, recognizing both the physical and mental limits of excessive training. Even when faced with bottlenecks, danger, or public criticism, he responds by reassessing his weaknesses and returning to practice 8 125 161 251.
He is calm in combat and does not underestimate opponents. Shao Yu specifically praised his ability to observe, analyze, and adapt without panicking when disadvantaged or becoming reckless when ahead 147 647.
Despite his rapid rise, Xu Wuyi remains modest and responsible. He declines praise, credits circumstances and teammates, respects experienced martial artists, and takes his duties as an instructor seriously. He is also willing to guide weaker cultivators, including students with average talent and visiting martial artists seeking help with their Heart Images 296 591 537 538.
Abilities & Skills
Martial Dao Diligence Record
Xu Wuyi possesses the Martial Dao Diligence Record, an ancient bronze tome within his sea of consciousness that records his cultivation. Repeated standard cultivation can produce sudden insights, while one thousand repetitions may trigger a greater enlightenment 26 197 770.
- He routinely uses one hundred effective sessions to pursue daily enlightenment.
- His cultivation depends on precision as much as volume; his body and mind have limits that cannot safely be ignored.
- The Record’s repeated insights underpin his unusually rapid advancement across body tempering, spear arts, and Heart Image martial arts 8 251 451.
Body Tempering and Hundred Refinements Furnace
The Basic Body Tempering Method is the foundation of Xu Wuyi’s martial path. At Great Accomplishment, its simple movements organize, stabilize, and reinforce his qi and blood with exceptional efficiency 144 151.
The Hundred Refinements Furnace complements this foundation by pushing his qi and blood to greater intensity through Heart Fire.
- Heart Fire (Nine Turns) — Refines and purifies qi and blood, improves his absorption of cultivation resources, and grants prolonged combat endurance 197 199 207.
- Heart Fire Refining Spirit — Tempers mental power and fuses his understanding of mountains, fire, and spear arts, improving perception, qi control, and comprehension 250.
- New Chapter of Blood and Qi — A self-created cultivation method that optimizes blood-and-qi circulation. It can improve an ordinary Grandmaster’s physical strength by roughly 30% within a year without relying on external objects 788.
Heart Image and Flame of Order
Xu Wuyi’s manifested Heart Image is a dark-gold mountain with a Golden Crow at its summit. It embodies his early Mountain True Intent, Heart Fire, and later development of Order-based power 407.
- Mountain True Intent — Provides weight, stability, suppression, and defensive strength; it can be integrated into unarmed strikes and spear arts 17 113 382.
- Golden Crow Burns the Heart; Scorching Prairie — A Heart-Image Martial Art capable of area coverage, precise guidance, sustained burning, and escalating power 450 451.
- Flame of Order — Can lock onto a target and burn away its internal “order,” causing chaos and incapacitation 653.
- Order-based defense — Can dismantle corrosive rift energy into primitive particles before it reaches his body 697.
Spear Arts
Xu Wuyi primarily fights with a long spear. His spearwork combines direct force, mental pressure, gravity manipulation, Heart Image power, and the Rules of Order.
- Wind-Settling Spear — A simplified spear art derived from the Eight Directions Soul-Suppressing Spear. At Major Achievement, it allows smooth, condensed, low-consumption attacks 185.
- Eight Directions Soul-Suppressing Spear — A B-rank spear art that suppresses opponents through the fusion of Mountain True Intent, mental power, and Soul-Suppressing intent 112 161.
- God-Shocking Spear — Delivers a thrust carrying mental impact strong enough to damage alloy targets; it remained at the final threshold of Beginner realm when his proficiency reached 95% 232.
- Nether Heaven-Balancing Spear — An A-rank gravity art that lets him alter weight and gravitational effects within a limited area 470 481.
- Lawbreaker — Seals an opponent’s mental power 696.
- Bloodbreaker — Seals the circulation of blood and qi 696.
- Disorder / Chaos — A self-created Order-based form that destroys an opponent’s internal order; against a Beast King, it reduced the target’s body to dispersed energy particles 695 698.
- Annihilation — A self-created spear technique that annihilates both a target’s internal and external rules 714.
Gravity and Heavy Water Techniques
Xu Wuyi developed gravity-based abilities through the Nether Heaven-Balancing Spear and the “weight bestowal” aspect of his Heart Image.
- He can increase or decrease gravity in a small area and pull objects in specific directions 481.
- His understanding is based on self-consistent Heart Image cognition rather than scientific gravity theory 480.
- Water Drop — Compresses Great Marsh Heavy Water into a highly penetrative sphere 546 547.
- Returning Ruins Seal — Uses Heavy Water for broad area suppression, flattening a large region in virtual testing 546 547.
Physical Strength and Unarmed Combat
Xu Wuyi’s body tempering eventually became a defining part of his combat style. His physical strength reached roughly ten times that of an ordinary Divine Intent Grandmaster, allowing him to contend with high-level opponents through direct strikes 788.
- He developed the Tenfold Stacking method of exerting force through repeated body optimization 789.
- At the Star Realm Summoning, he defeated successive Divine Intent opponents with a single punch, earning the nickname “One-Punch Xu” 829.
- His recovery ability is exceptional; after extensive optimization, wounds that once healed in seconds recovered even faster 754.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Prairie Fire Spear — Xu Wuyi’s reforged long spear, created with Starcore Sinking Gold through the Triple-Fold Forging Method. It increases fire-element energy by 150% and keeps Heart Image power transmission loss below 5% 453 454.
- Fire Source Stone — A relic connected to Grandmaster Yue Lianshan’s legacy. Xu Wuyi uses it to amplify his Heart Image and instantly kill powerful enemies, including werewolf priests 419 420.
