Background / History

Lin Xun has existed across several eras through successive bodies. His system states that each body begins cultivation anew with a new martial soul, while his accumulated knowledge and former relationships continue to shape his actions. In earlier eras, he was tied to the Angel God, took Tang Hao as an adoptive son, and became Tang San’s adoptive grandfather. 1 13

He was instrumental in the Soul Planning Hall’s history. Although Qian Renxue helped establish the organization in its earliest days, Lin Xun later restored its prominence, directed its development, and again became its master a century before his current life. In a later historical period, he commanded the hall alone and reached Ultimate Douluo at a young age under the title Blazing Sun. 14 32

In his present identity, Lin Xun’s records identify him as an orphan raised at an orphanage near Star Luo City; the orphanage was later attacked by evil soul masters. He first attended a junior academy in Star Luo City, where he knew Wu Siduo, before transferring to Donghai Academy. 6 13 23

At Donghai Academy, his abrupt breakup with Ouyang Zixin gave him a notorious reputation and resulted in his placement in Class Five. There he became a core member of the promotion team alongside Xie Xie and Gu Yue. 1 3 4

Leng Yaozhu discovered that his Spirit Pagoda Supreme Gold Card bore the unique serial number of a card belonging to a Lin Xun from a century earlier. Unable to safely deny the connection, he accepted her coercive offer to become her personal disciple. 13

The Soul Planning Hall later confirmed him as its ancient founding ancestor and legitimate Pope, ordering both its Inner and Outer Halls to obey him as their highest authority. 56

Appearance

Lin Xun is a handsome youth with golden hair and purple eyes. He typically carries himself with a relaxed, unhurried air that can conceal his calculating nature. 1 33

• Golden hair and purple eyes. 1
• Noted for an effortlessly gentle disposition and striking appearance. 41
• Often wears Donghai Academy’s school uniform during his student years. 30
• His martial soul manifests as a conspicuously pink longsword. 2 3

Personality

Lin Xun is confident, eloquent, and highly self-assured in both combat and romance. He openly presents himself as a “breakup master,” treating relationships as part of his system-driven pursuit of power while adhering to a personal rule against returning to former partners. 1 17 18

He is calculating and skilled at maintaining false appearances. When Leng Yaozhu investigated him, he convincingly performed the role of an uninformed orphan despite recognizing the danger posed by the card’s serial number. 13

Despite his self-serving reputation, Lin Xun can be considerate and protective. He offered Zhou Changxi a route into the Soul Planning Hall rather than simply giving him money, discreetly paid for Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin’s meal, and protected Mu Xi when facing Guang Biao’s group. 14 25 41 42

System

Lin Xun possesses the Romance System: Playboy Edition, which rewards him with System Points and Breakup Points for dating and breaking up with named female characters. He uses its shop to purchase cultivation resources, soul rings, soul-power increases, and specialized items. 1 6 26

His stated end goal is to accumulate one billion points, clear the system, and receive infinite lifespan and power. 1

Abilities & Skills

Ex-Girlfriend Sword

• Can rapidly change properties and combat style by loading different capsules. 6 10 60 98

• He possesses deep insight into spear cultivation and guided Guan Yue toward understanding the Dao behind the Heaven-Transcending Divine Spear. 87
