Background / History
Meng Shenji first appears as a senior figure of Heaven Dou Royal Academy during Tang Chuan, Tang San, and Xiao Wu's entrance process. After assessing Tang Chuan's unusually steady aura, he concludes that Tang Chuan's Soul Power Level is likely above his own, since he cannot clearly discern it 32.
He immediately notices Tang San's resemblance to Tang Chuan and assumes they are father and son. Impressed by Tang San's solid aura, he praises him as worthy of Tang Chuan's upbringing before moving toward the academy talent test 32.
When Tang San passes the academy's expectations and joins Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Meng Shenji accepts Xiao Wu without further testing because of Tang Chuan's approval. He then invites Tang Chuan to become a teacher and offers him leadership of the Imperial Fighting Team 33.
Meng Shenji is shocked when Tang Chuan reveals himself as a Title Douluo with nine soul rings, including a hundred-thousand-year ring. He and the other two Education Committee members become visibly shaken, but still welcome Tang Chuan as the Imperial Fighting Team's leader 33.
After Tang Chuan leaves, Meng Shenji reports his situation to Emperor Xue Ye, treating him as an unregistered Title Douluo whose recruitment could shift the balance between the Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, and Spirit Hall 33.
Meng Shenji later briefs Crown Prince Xue Qinghe on Tang Chuan, including his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, soul ring configuration, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and their connection with Dugu Bo. Although he recognizes that revealing this may be disrespectful to Tang Chuan, he prioritizes his duty to the Heaven Dou imperial family 34.
During Tang Hao's rampage in Heaven Dou City, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin join the confrontation in support of Tang Chuan and Dugu Bo 41.
Personality
Meng Shenji is courteous and politically cautious around powerful figures. He quickly corrects Xue Qinghe for casually using Tang Chuan's name, emphasizing that Tang Chuan is a Title Douluo and should be addressed respectfully 34.
He is strongly interested in talent and reacts enthusiastically to Tang San's potential. His praise of Tang San is tied directly to Tang Chuan's perceived ability as a father and teacher 32 33.
As an academy official, he is pragmatic: he accepts Xiao Wu because Tang Chuan values her, recruits Tang Chuan because of his power, and reports Tang Chuan's existence to the emperor because of its strategic importance 33 34.
