Background

Muye is the current master of the declining Body Sect. He believes the sect has been steadily weakened because other major factions can recruit and train body martial soul masters, while the Body Sect itself can no longer preserve its former monopoly over such talent. By this period, the sect is effectively reduced to Muye, his disciple Ruheng, and a few scattered former members. 85 86

He maintains a close friendship with Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua and works as the private chef at Zhen Hua's dining hall. Zhen Hua introduces Muye to Xu Yue after Xu Yue and Mu Xi achieve dual-person Spirit Forging. 82 83

Muye tests Xu Yue's physique through a sparring session, receiving first a basic punch and then a bloodline-enhanced dragon fist. Xu Yue's crystallization effect breaks Muye's skin despite the latter's heavily tempered body, convincing Muye of his potential. Muye offers to accept Xu Yue as a personal disciple, but Xu Yue initially refuses because he already studies under Mu Chen and Leng Yaozhu. Muye honors his promise to teach Xu Yue regardless. 83 84

After Xu Yue proposes the Blood Essence Martial Path, Muye becomes his collaborator in developing a new cultivation system based on refining blood essence. Muye's expertise in bodily structure complements the Truth Gem's analytical ability, allowing the two to successfully create a Blood Essence Soul Ring. In gratitude, Muye passes the Body Sect's core secret art, the Flawless Golden Body, to Xu Yue and accepts a formal disciple's bow. 87 89 94

Appearance

Muye is a middle-aged man with resolute features and a deep, steady aura. Though he does not appear especially muscular, his physique contains extraordinary strength and vitality. 82 83

• Usually appears in chef's clothes while working in Zhen Hua's private dining hall. 82
• His body has been refined to a level described as nearly comparable to three-word battle armor. 83
• Possesses rapid physical recovery; a wound inflicted by Xu Yue's crystallization closes almost immediately. 83

Personality

Muye is blunt, proud of the Body Sect's inheritance, and confident in his ability to train physical combatants. His initial reaction to Xu Yue's refusal is disbelief, but he respects Xu Yue's existing teachers and keeps his word to provide instruction. 84 85

The Body Sect's decline weighs heavily on him. Once Xu Yue presents a plausible path to reform it, Muye abandons hesitation and pursues the experiment with impatience and enthusiasm, insisting that they begin immediately. 86 88

As a teacher, Muye is demanding and willing to place Xu Yue through extreme training, but he is also deeply invested in his student's survival and future. 89 92

Abilities & Skills

Body Sect Physique and Combat Experience

Muye is a Title Douluo-level body cultivator with exceptional physical defense, strength, recovery, and knowledge of bodily training. He can identify a person's physical condition through their natural blood-vitality fluctuations alone. 83 85

• Caught Xu Yue's bloodline-enhanced dragon fist directly, despite the strike cracking the ground beneath him. 83
• His tempered body is nearly as resilient as three-word battle armor. 83
• Can rapidly heal physical injuries with soul power. 83
• Developed and taught a joint-locking technique containing his lifetime of combat experience. 93

Flawless Golden Body

The Flawless Golden Body, also called the Golden Arhat Body, is the Body Sect's foremost body-tempering secret art. Muye teaches it to Xu Yue as repayment for his help in advancing the Blood Essence Martial Path. 89

• At mastery, its physical strength is stated to be comparable to four-word battle armor. 89
• Cultivation begins through innate secret arts, including the first stage, Body Penetration. 89 92
• Muye uses a volcanic secret realm, medicinal baths, and extreme heat to temper Xu Yue's body. 89 90
• The art is exceptionally difficult and potentially fatal without proper supervision. 89 92

Blood Essence Martial Path

Muye and Xu Yue develop a cultivation path that refines blood essence rather than relying exclusively on martial soul awakening or soul spirit contracts. Muye provides the bodily knowledge and practical foundation for the project, while Xu Yue supplies analysis and optimization through the Truth Gem. 87 88 94

• Muye's first attempt to condense a Blood Essence Soul Ring fails, but he remains committed to the project. 88
• He later successfully forms a scarlet Blood Essence Soul Ring from pure human blood vitality. 94
• The ring enhances the quality of his blood essence and improves the body's nourishment, endurance, and recovery. 95
• Unlike Xu Yue's bloodline-derived ring, Muye's Blood Essence Soul Ring has no soul skill. 95

Forging and Mecha Expertise

Muye possesses extensive technical knowledge beyond body cultivation. He is a god-level mecha master and owns a red-rank mecha, while his four-word battle armor allows him to contend with far stronger opponents. 20 84

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Four-word battle armor — Supports combat power comparable to a level 98 powerhouse. 84
• Red-rank mecha — One of Muye's primary high-level combat assets. 84
• Blood Essence Soul Ring — Scarlet ring condensed from his own blood vitality; lacks a soul skill. 94 95

Relationships

• Xu Yue — Teacher, collaborator, and fellow traveler on the Blood Essence Martial Path. Muye first tests and attempts to recruit Xu Yue, then teaches him despite being refused as a personal master; Xu Yue later formally bows to him after receiving the Flawless Golden Body. 83 84 89 95
• Zhen Hua — Long-standing friend and associate. Zhen Hua introduces Xu Yue to Muye and supports Muye's instruction of the younger generation. 82 83
• Mu Xi — Temporary student during Zhen Hua's intensive training period; Muye teaches her physical cultivation but does not make her a Body Sect member. 84 85
• Xu Xiaoyan — Temporary student alongside Mu Xi and Xu Yue; she receives Muye's physical-training guidance without joining the Body Sect. 84 85
• Ruheng — Muye's eldest disciple and a benchmark for the resources and time normally required to cultivate the Body Sect's innate secret arts. 92
