Background

Three months before his first fishing trip, Wei Luo survived a severe fever, awakened memories from a past life, and gained the Great Thousand Revelation. He tested its deductions by casting nets from shore, gradually building a dependable source of income. 1

Wei Luo lives with his mother, Zhao Rong, in a dilapidated courtyard in Yellow Mud Alley, Pingjiang Town, Great Yin. His father is absent and unnamed; Zhao Rong raised him alone through odd jobs such as mending fishing nets. 2

Feng Hao's repeated debt collection convinced Wei Luo that money alone could not protect his family. He began pursuing entry into the Sun Family, both for its wages and for access to martial arts training. 2 4

Appearance

Wei Luo inherited his mother's attractive features and is described as having sharply defined, handsome looks. 3

• Initially had a somewhat delicate, thin appearance. 2 6
• Grew nearly twenty centimeters and developed a muscular, increasingly burly build after more than twenty days of stance training and nutritional supplementation. 6
• His appearance drew unwanted attention from Li Dadao. 3

Personality

Wei Luo is ambitious, practical, and intensely self-reliant. Rather than accept a life as a poor fisherman, he repeatedly seeks ways to gain strength, money, and martial training—even when his poor bone aptitude places him at a disadvantage. 1 4

He is protective of Zhao Rong and views personal strength as the only lasting defense against exploitation. When Feng Hao continued threatening his mother, Wei Luo planned an ambush, killed him, disposed of the body, and concealed the truth from her. Though shaken by his first killing, he resolved that he would make the same choice again. 7

Wei Luo also follows his own judgment rather than popularity or profit. He refused to teach the Folding Waves Fist to trainees who had not passed Master Qin's assessment, believing they lacked the necessary foundation, and rejected Zhang Chi's suspiciously lucrative offer. 9 10

Abilities & Skills

Great Thousand Revelation

The Great Thousand Revelation allows Wei Luo to simulate or deduce information about a chosen subject. Its required time varies according to the question and the information he possesses. 1 2

• Can simulate only one matter at a time. 2
• Deductions become faster when Wei Luo gathers relevant details or already possesses necessary knowledge. 2 4
• Simplifying a question can yield a quicker but less detailed answer. 4
• Located a high-value fishing area 2,564 meters downstream on the Hun River, leading to his first major catch. 1
• Identified Crimson Firefin as the medicine needed to treat Steward Li's wife, enabling his entry into the Sun Family. 4 5
• Produced practical martial insight during the stance assessment: “Focus the mind and calm the qi” while feeling the waves through the stance. 8
• Could not fully expose Li Dadao's intentions because of insufficient information; it only confirmed that Li was a vicious criminal responsible for dozens of deaths. 3

Fishing and Rivercraft

Wei Luo is an unusually productive fisherman, combining deduction with quickly learned practical skills.

• Learned the fundamentals of controlling a skiff from Liu Changle on his first day on the Hun River. 1
• Caught three large yellow croakers, an old soft-shelled turtle, and miscellaneous fish worth more than 300 copper coins in a single net. 1
• Caught the treasure fish Crimson Firefin on his first river expedition. 1 2
• Uses fish catches to fund his food and training when the Sun Family's rations prove insufficient. 6

Folding Waves Fist

Wei Luo trains in the Sun Family's Folding Waves Fist, beginning with the Stacked Waves Stance. The stance strengthens qi and blood and forms the foundation for later fist practice. 5

• Broke down his posture into fists, arms, hips, legs, and joints, simulating each component to improve faster. 6
• After one month, his Stacked Waves Stance possessed roughly thirty percent of Master Qin's spirit and form. 8
• Passed the unstable-platform assessment after nearly twelve breaths, exceeding the ten-breath requirement. 8
• Has begun formal fist training but has not yet been shown attaining entry into the Folding Waves Fist. 9

Improvised Combat

Wei Luo has demonstrated ruthlessness and tactical awareness despite his limited formal combat training.

• Blinded Feng Hao with lime powder before engaging him. 7
• Used the force of his roughly 200-jin strength to incapacitate Feng Hao, then repeatedly smashed his head against a wall. 7
• Transported Feng Hao's body to the Hun River and sank it with a stone. 7

Equipment / Items

• Rented skiff and fishing net — Used for fishing on the Hun River; the boat rental cost thirty copper coins per day. 1
• Crimson Firefin — Treasure fish caught by Wei Luo and given to Steward Li as medicine for Fan-shi; its value was estimated at two to four taels of silver. 5
• Lime powder — Used to blind Feng Hao during Wei Luo's ambush. 7

Relationships

• Zhao Rong / Zhao Clan — His mother. Wei Luo supports and protects her, while she continues taking on painful net-mending work to provide money for his training. 2 7
• Liu Changle — Neighbor and friend. He taught Wei Luo basic boat handling, helped him pursue Sun Family recruitment, and warned him that Feng Hao was targeting Zhao Rong again. 1 4 6
• Liu Jun / Old Liu — Liu Changle's father and an experienced fisherman. He assisted Wei Luo on the river, helped sell the Crimson Firefin, and supported his attempt to join the Sun Family. 1 3 5
• Master Qin — Sun Family martial instructor. He taught Wei Luo the Stacked Waves Stance and later admitted him to formal fist instruction after the assessment. 5 8 9
• Steward Li — Sun Family steward who initially rejected Wei Luo over his poor bone aptitude. Wei Luo earned his acceptance by providing a Crimson Firefin to treat Fan-shi. 4 5
• Feng Hao — Fish-Dragon Gang member and debt collector who repeatedly extorted Zhao Rong. Wei Luo ambushed and killed him. 2 7
• Li Dadao — Fish-Dragon Gang hall master. He bought Wei Luo's fish at an unusually high price, attempted to recruit him, and later colluded with Feng Hao to target Zhao Rong. 3 7

Story Role / Major Arcs

Hun River Fishing and Sun Family Recruitment

Wei Luo rents a skiff to fish on the Hun River, using the Great Thousand Revelation to find valuable catches. After catching Crimson Firefin, he learns that Steward Li's wife can be treated with the fish and exchanges it for admission into the Sun Family despite his poor bone aptitude. 1 4 5

Stance Training

As a Sun Family recruit, Wei Luo trains the Stacked Waves Stance while fishing daily to afford additional food. His effort and deductions rapidly improve his body and stance, allowing him to lift a 200-jin stone weight and surpass most trainees. 6

Feng Hao's Death

After learning that Feng Hao has resumed harassing Zhao Rong, Wei Luo returns to Pingjiang Town and lures Feng Hao into an alley. He kills him, disposes of the body in the Hun River, and tells his mother only that the debt has been repaid. 6 7

Assessment and Fist Training

Wei Luo passes Master Qin's platform assessment and becomes one of five recruits permitted to learn the Folding Waves Fist. He refuses requests to teach unqualified trainees, choosing to continue training rather than profit from their desperation. 8 9
