Background / History

Chen Ping'an transmigrated to the Douluo Continent and spent eighteen years trapped in Holy Soul Village. Unable to awaken a Martial Soul, he was forbidden to leave under the village’s rules, forced into labor, and repeatedly abused by awakened Soul Masters. After a drunken Soul Master beat him nearly to death, the Shared Cultivation System bound to him and restored him. 1

The System’s novice reward granted him four sword-type Martial Souls: the Immortal Slaying, Immortal Execution, Immortal Trapping, and Immortal Annihilation Swords. A brief connection to the Primeval Lord of Heaven raised him to Level 90, though the System admitted that interplanar losses and its intermediary fee drastically reduced the cultivation he received. 1

After killing Li Ergou, one of the people who had tormented him, Chen Ping'an left Holy Soul Village. He joined Shrek Academy as a teacher rather than a student, intending to exploit the position to target Tang San. 1 2

Personality

Chen Ping'an is confident to the point of open contempt for most opponents. He routinely conceals his actual strength until challenged, then uses overwhelming force to humiliate or kill those he considers arrogant, hostile, or troublesome. His treatment of Tang Hao, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Yu Xiaogang, and Xue Yuanzheng reflects his ruthlessness and taste for intimidation. 3 7 16 75

Despite his power, he is notably lazy when no challenge interests him. During Tianshui Academy’s Spirit Arena matches, he often lets teammates handle the fighting because he considers intervening unnecessary. 18 21 23

He is protective and rewarding toward those he accepts. He guides Zhu Zhuqing’s cultivation, spares Bi Ji and the Bear Monarch after forcing their submission, heals the Ice Empress, and offers the Snow Empress and Ice Empress protection from their Great Limits through Tianshui Academy. 10 30 86
