Background

Gu Chen drowned while saving four brothers in his previous life. The Super Male Lead Cool-Novel System brought him to the Peerless Era of the Douluo Continent, where his physical age regressed to twelve. He selected Lan Xuanyu’s destiny template, gaining the Dragon God Bloodline, the Gold-and-Silver Pattern Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, innate full soul power, and the Heaven-Sacred Abyss-Splitting Halberd. The system also prevents God-Kings from interfering in his affairs. 1

His Dragon God aura alerted the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Di Tian recognized him as their young master and brought him before Gu Yuena, who discovered that he carried both the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King bloodlines. Gu Chen claimed to be Gu Yuena’s son from the future; despite initial doubts, Gu Yuena accepted him as her son and gave him protection before he departed for the human world. 1 2

Gu Chen entered Shrek Academy by defeating Xu Sanshi, the Outer Court’s strongest defensive student, despite possessing only one ring at the time. Stone enrolled him in Freshman Class Nine, while Mu En and Shrek’s elders identified his bloodline as an extraordinary Dragon King lineage and began cultivating him as a future pillar of the academy. 4 5 6 7

Personality

Gu Chen is openly arrogant and treats his exceptional bloodline, strength, and backing as reasons not to keep a low profile. He routinely provokes opponents he considers inferior, including Xu Sanshi, Dai Huabin, and Dai Yueheng. 4 7 15 30

He values loyalty and useful offerings. Xie Huanyue earned his acceptance by offering Millennium Whale Glue, while Gu Chen later gave valuable ten-thousand-year Soul Bones to Xie Huanyue and Xiao Xiao rather than keeping them. 7 23 25

Despite his harshness, he acts as an effective instructor. His punishing special training materially improved Freshman Class Nine’s combat ability, and he gave Xie Huanyue tactical advice after defeating him. He also taught Xiao Xiao how to play the Nine-Phoenix Flute. 8 9 21
