Background / History

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

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

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

Physical Constitution

His seven-colored body-enhancement trait gives Qin Jiuxiao a physique far beyond normal soul masters.

• 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

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
• Devoured Chen Xin's Seven Kill sword qi and suppressed the Seven Kill Sword within the Sword Douluo's domain. 37

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

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

Defensive and Transformation Traits

• Holy Angel's Protection — Creates a shield against a fatal strike; its cooldown is one year. 13
• Poison Immunity — Obtained from Pufferfish Douluo. 18
• Divine Form Transformation — Allows him to transform into one of the Ten Fiends at the corresponding soul-ring age; switching forms restores combat capacity independently between human and soul-beast forms. 32
• Teleportation — A red entry obtained from Gu Rong, used for rapid repositioning in combat. 13 50
