Background

Liu Chun joined Four Seas Martial Arts Hall before Li Xiuwen. Her exceptional natural bone structure allowed her to enter the Sea-Sand Stance in only three days, quickly establishing her as the hall's most acclaimed first-floor disciple. Huang Sihai considered her likely to reach the second floor and potentially contend for entry into the Learning Society. 8 9

Brother Wild Chicken recruited her into Hesheng Tu after recognizing her Purple Membrane cultivation. Liu Chun accepted because she wanted fame, advancement, and the admiration of others; she was subsequently treated as one of Hesheng Tu's promising recruits. 15 45

Her early advantage narrowed when Li Xiuwen began advancing rapidly. Huang Sihai ultimately judged Li Xiuwen the hall's most promising disciple due to his comprehension, prompting Liu Chun to see him as a serious rival. 31

Appearance

Liu Chun has faint brows and thin lips, with a polished, well-off appearance that makes her stand out among Four Seas Martial Arts Hall's disciples. 5

• Often wears refined training clothes, including white robes. 8
• Came from a wealthy family and could afford private lessons, Fish Balls, hired sparring partners, and movement-technique training. 41 44
• Was sixteen during the lead-up to the Night Heron Martial Arts Hall challenge. 22

Personality

Liu Chun is ambitious, proud, and highly conscious of talent, status, and advancement. She initially believed that diligence could not compensate for poor aptitude, bluntly discouraging less-talented disciples before apologizing when Huang Sihai reprimanded her. 22

Her confidence was badly shaken by Longlegs Seven's overwhelming victory and Li Xiuwen's rapid rise. Rather than withdrawing completely, she invested substantial money and effort into training, hired Black Membrane sparring partners, and competed privately with Li Xiuwen until the second-floor contest. 36 41 44

Despite her competitiveness, Liu Chun values a fair victory. When her father suggested arranging harm against Li Xiuwen, she immediately refused, believing such a victory would leave her guilty and damage her state of mind. 44

Abilities & Skills

Sea-Sand Stance

Liu Chun's primary training method is the Sea-Sand Stance of Four Seas Martial Arts Hall.

• Entered the stance in three days and attained Minor Accomplishment within a month. 8
• Reached Purple Membrane ahead of most first-floor disciples. 14
• Advanced to Black Membrane within roughly three months of beginning martial arts training. 22
• Reached peak Black Membrane through intense training and repeated use of Fish Balls. 67

Sand-Turning Palm and Hard-Soft Palm

Liu Chun practices the Sea Sand Style's core palm techniques and developed a strong command of alternating hard and soft force.

• Her Sand-Turning Palm had reached Minor Accomplishment by the time she entered Purple Membrane. 14
• Reached Great Accomplishment before Li Xiuwen's second-floor contest. 41
• Had mastered the palm technique by the time she sparred with Li Xiuwen after his own rapid advancement. 42
• Her Hard-Soft Palm could produce explosive force when exchanged directly with another practitioner. 42 49
• Li Xiuwen eventually surpassed her technical command through extensive combat practice in the Dream Void Realm. 49

Thousand-Wave Floating Radiance

Liu Chun privately learned a movement technique to improve her chances in the first-floor martial meet.

• Uses rapid, slippery footwork that made A Zhen unable to touch her in ten moves. 50
• Relied on it against Li Xiuwen, expecting to use mobility to defeat him within thirty exchanges. 50
• Her movement technique did not overcome Li Xiuwen's concealed Black Membrane strength and Shark Shadow Strike. 50 51

Relationships

• Li Xiuwen — Fellow Four Seas disciple and principal rival. Liu Chun initially dismissed his prospects, then grew anxious as his cultivation and comprehension caught up with and surpassed hers. 22 31 41 50
• Huang Sihai — Master at Four Seas Martial Arts Hall. He valued Liu Chun's talent but criticized her comments about diligence and later shifted more of his attention toward Li Xiuwen. 14 22 39
• Brother Wild Chicken — Hesheng Tu recruiter who brought Liu Chun into the society as a promising Purple Membrane disciple. 15
• A Zhen — Fellow disciple and friendly competitor. Liu Chun defeated her in the first-floor martial meet using Thousand-Wave Floating Radiance. 15 50
• Cheng Kuiqiang / Big Silly Qiang — Fellow Four Seas disciple and Hesheng Tu recruit; the two maintained a friendly rivalry in cultivation. 15 22
• Longlegs Seven — Night Heron Martial Arts Hall prodigy who decisively defeated Liu Chun, leaving her with a lasting psychological setback. 36
• Father — A wealthy supporter who funded her training. He suggested eliminating Li Xiuwen, but Liu Chun rejected the idea and insisted on defeating him fairly. 44

Story Role / Major Arcs

Four Seas Martial Arts Hall Prodigy

Liu Chun begins as Four Seas Martial Arts Hall's standout first-floor disciple. Her superior aptitude, rapid stance progression, Purple Membrane cultivation, and early mastery of Sand-Turning Palm make her the hall's leading prospect. 8 14

Hesheng Tu Recruitment

Brother Wild Chicken recruits Liu Chun into Hesheng Tu alongside A Zhen and Big Silly Qiang. Liu Chun joins not from financial need, but to gain prestige and rise above others. 15

Night Heron Martial Arts Hall Challenge

Drawn against Longlegs Seven, Liu Chun insists on continuing after his first overwhelming strike. Longlegs Seven defeats her with a leaping sweep kick, forcing her to confront the gulf between herself and a greater prodigy. 36

Rivalry with Li Xiuwen

Li Xiuwen's breakthroughs destabilize Liu Chun's former certainty. The two secretly train late into the evening, while Liu Chun pays for Black Membrane sparring partners in preparation for the second-floor contest. 41 44

At the martial meet, Liu Chun first defeats A Zhen with her movement technique, then faces Li Xiuwen as the top seed. Li Xiuwen reveals his hidden Black Membrane cultivation and defeats her in a single palm exchange, ending her bid for the second-floor position. 50 51

Thunder God Shed Clash

Liu Chun later joins A Zhen and Big Silly Qiang in confronting a Thunder God Shed lackey. Za Jiu easily overpowers the three; when Liu Chun identifies herself as the senior disciple and asks to take her companions away, he slaps her aside despite sparing her life for her father's sake. 71 72
