Background / History

Qin Jiuxiao was originally an office worker from another world. After being struck by a truck while retrieving his umbrella on a rainy night, he awakened in Douluo Continent as Qin Yuntian's only son and gained the Entry System. 1

Qin Jiuxiao appeared during the Qin Family's crisis twelve years before the main events, saving Qin Yuntian from a night raid connected to Tang Hao. Qin Yuntian named him “Jiuxiao” because he had seemingly fallen from the nine heavens and was expected to one day soar through them again. 42

Raised as Qin Yuntian's son in Soto City, Qin Jiuxiao awakened with innate full soul power. The Heaven Dou Crown Prince's interest in him resulted in Qin Yuntian receiving the title of count and governance over a city. Despite the family's status, Qin Jiuxiao remained deliberately low-profile and understood that powerful nobles could seek to control or eliminate a gifted soul master. 1 42

Rather than obtain an ordinary second ring, Qin Jiuxiao waited for powerful entries through his Entry System. He entered the Star Dou Forest ostensibly to hunt a ring, though his own spirit rings could generate themselves; his immediate objective was also to find the fleeing Zhu Zhuqing. 1 2

Following Gu Yuena's recognition of his potential and treatment of her injuries, Qin Jiuxiao was elevated within the soul-beast race. Gu Yuena gave him her Heart-Protecting Scale and decreed that seeing him was equivalent to seeing her, making him the acknowledged hope of the Soul Beast clan. 102 103

Appearance

At twelve years old, Qin Jiuxiao is already a tall, sunny-looking and handsome youth standing approximately 1.8 meters tall. 1

• Defined eight-pack abdominal muscles. 1
• Usually carries himself with an unhurried, upright posture. 21
• When merging the powers of the Heavenly Horned Ant and Thunder Emperor, golden patterns emerge across his skin, a shallow horn appears on his forehead, and lightning gathers around him. 10
• His body is marked by golden veins and surging lightning during the Thunder Emperor's tribulation. 7
• Upon activating True Dragon Transformation, he assumes a humanoid golden-dragon form that releases pure and overwhelming Dragon Clan pressure. 104
• His sixth-ring breakthrough manifested an ancient golden True Dragon phantom unlike any known Dragon Clan creature. 101

Personality

Qin Jiuxiao is patient, calculating, and highly independent. His delay in obtaining spirit rings was intentional: he wanted power strong enough to prevent others from turning him into a tool. He is willing to reveal selected secrets when doing so gives him leverage, but conceals the fuller extent of his abilities whenever possible. 1 14

He is confident to the point of arrogance in battle, frequently provoking enemies he considers unworthy. His confidence is supported by a willingness to analyze opponents, retreat when necessary, and use allies or mobility rather than meet every attack directly. 3 4 9

As a leader, Qin Jiuxiao invests heavily in the growth of those around him. He develops training methods, improves techniques, shares them with his group, and plans high-level soul rings for his companions. 29 64 66 74

His protectiveness toward his companions extends beyond training. Before entering the Star Dou Forest Core Area, he entrusted the Zhu sisters, Ning Rongrong, and Hu Liena with portions of his fusion-skill power so they could defend themselves in his absence. 80

Abilities & Skills

Entry System

Qin Jiuxiao possesses an Entry System that grants him traits after making contact with other people. Entries increase his soul power and can provide talents, techniques, resistances, domains, or other abilities. 2 13 73

• True Words places a soul-power mark on a target and forces them to voice their genuine thoughts for ten minutes. 70

Desolate Ten Fiends Martial Soul

Qin Jiuxiao's martial soul is the Desolate Ten Fiends, also referred to earlier as the Ancient Ten Fiends. Its spirit rings manifest as different fierce-beast powers and evolve alongside his physical constitution. 7 21 29

Soul Ring	Fierce Beast	Soul Skill	Recorded Effect
First	Heavenly Horned Ant	Ultimate Power	Doubles his strength, speed, and overall attributes. 3

Physical Constitution

His seven-colored body-enhancement trait, Fleshly Sanctification, gives Qin Jiuxiao a physique far beyond normal soul masters. 3 29

• His body alone was compared to that of a defensive-type Soul Ancestor while he was still a one-ring soul master. 3
• After the Thunder Emperor's tempering, he believed his raw physical strength could kill a Soul King without soul power. 9
• He endured a direct test strike from Zi Ji and later withstood Soul Saint-level pressure from Gu Rong before showing visible strain at Soul Douluo-level pressure. 10 36
• Flesh and Blood Treasure Medicine makes his blood comparable to fierce-beast precious blood and usable for body tempering. 22
• In Heavenly Horned Ant form, he matched and ultimately overwhelmed Er Ming, the hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape, in direct physical combat. 96
• After obtaining the True Dragon ring, he could contend with Xiong Jun's raw strength despite Xiong Jun's more than 400,000 years of cultivation. 103 104

Domain of the Ten Fiends

After the powers of the Kunpeng and Qilin merged with his earlier rings, Qin Jiuxiao formed the Domain of the Ten Fiends. It incorporates the Devouring Domain entry obtained from Zi Ji. 32

• Suppresses enemy martial souls by 200%. 32
• Devours 1% of an enemy's soul power per second to replenish Qin Jiuxiao. 32
• Causes soul beasts to recognize him as an emperor-like existence. 32

Martial Soul Fusion Skills

Qin Jiuxiao can form and externally maintain multiple martial soul fusion skills with different partners. 49 50

• Nine-Nether Ink Qilin — Fusion with Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun through the Qilin and Nether Spirit Cat martial souls. Its Qilin Heaven-Shaking Stride shattered Zi Ji's defensive shield; Zi Ji assessed the fusion's attack power as no weaker than most Soul Douluos. 29
• Seven Treasure Sword Pagoda — Fusion with Ning Rongrong. It creates a sword-energy-filled pagoda capable of trapping opponents; it was used against Zhao Wuji. 50
• Qin Jiuxiao can detach the power supporting a fusion skill, allowing his partners to maintain it while he continues fighting separately. 50
• He can leave portions of his Qilin and Nine-Leaf Sword Grass power within partners, allowing the Zhu sisters and Ning Rongrong to use their respective fusion skills up to three times without him. The empowered Seven Treasure Sword Pagoda can trap a Soul Douluo-level opponent. 80
• His Kunpeng power can resonate with Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel martial soul. During their confirmed fusion, her six wings evolved temporarily into twelve wings and she became the Twelve-Winged Angel King. 113 114

Comprehension, Swordsmanship, and Technique Revision

Heaven-Defying Comprehension enables Qin Jiuxiao to rapidly master and develop techniques. 2 3

• Developed the hand-blade technique Guillotine Blade by combining acquired blade and strength-related traits. 4
• Obtained Mastery of Fist Techniques, improving his combat footwork and hand-to-hand ability. 3
• Acquired Innate Sword Body, allowing sword qi to arise naturally from any movement or object; he later severed Dai Mubai's hand with sword energy released through a blade of grass. 37 49
• Revised Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track into a faster and more efficient movement technique, then taught it to his group and Hu Liena. 66 71
• Instantly copied Xiong Jun's Heaven-Splitting Claw during battle and refined it into the Dragon God Claw, which broke through Xiong Jun's attack. 104

Defensive and Transformation Traits

• Teleportation — A red entry obtained from Gu Rong, used for rapid repositioning in combat. 13 50

Soul Beast Affinity

Qin Jiuxiao's Ten Fiends power and Dragon Clan aura produce an exceptional affinity with soul beasts.
