Appearance

All five are described as standing around six feet three inches tall, making them noticeably taller than Zhang Nan when they are first summoned. Their commanding appearances and battle-tempered auras reinforce the distinction between them and ordinary Soul Masters 2 13.

• Zhao Yun — Fair, beardless face; majestic and imposing bearing 2.
• Zhang Fei — Leopard-like head, round eyes, swallow jaw, tiger-like whiskers, and a thunderous presence 2.
• Guan Yu — Long sideburns, a face compared to a ripe date, and an overwhelmingly dominant aura 2.
• Ma Chao — Fair-faced, wearing a jade crown, with star-like eyes and a chilling aura 2.
• Huang Zhong — Elderly in appearance, yet his aura is described as slightly stronger than that of the other four 2.

Personality

The generals are uniformly loyal to Zhang Nan. They kneel upon their summoning, accept his preferred form of address, and follow his orders without hesitation, whether he directs them to fight, investigate, guard him, or take time off 2 3 12 20.

They are also openly battle-loving. Zhang Fei repeatedly asks to be sent into fights first, Ma Chao becomes impatient when others take their turns against Tang Hao, and the group reacts enthusiastically when ordered to confront Zhao Wuji 4 5 12. Their rough manner is balanced by camaraderie: they share meals and drink with Zhang Nan, and offer to help Xiao Wu if she has a problem—especially if it involves a fight 8 19 20.

History

Zhang Nan summoned the Five Tiger Generals through the Strongest Villain Infinite Summoning System. They emerged from a halo, introduced themselves, and initially addressed him as “Young Master.” Zhang Nan instead ordered them to call him “Sect Master,” establishing their master-servant hierarchy 2.

They accompanied Zhang Nan toward Holy Soul Village and hid on his order while he met Xiao Wu. After reaching Fasno Province, they shared a meal with him before he sent them against Tang Hao 3 4. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao fought Tang Hao in succession, overwhelming him through superior numbers and strength; Zhao Yun was later left behind under Zhang Nan's orders while the others continued onward 5.

In Spirit Hunting Forest, Huang Zhong killed the instructors who insulted the group, then the five worked under Zhang Nan's plan to hunt the Eight-Thousand-Year Nine-Colored Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle. Ma Chao forced the eagle into the open, Huang Zhong crippled it with a tracking arrow, and Guan Yu and Zhao Yun pursued it on the ground 7 8.

When Zhang Nan ordered retaliation against Zhao Wuji, all five appeared at Shrek Academy and revealed their soul rings to intimidate Zhao Wuji and Flender. Zhang Fei carried out the beating, while Zhao Yun secured their silence and learned that Yu Xiaogang was staying at the academy 12 13 14. The generals later surrounded Yu Xiaogang at Zhang Nan's command and assisted in his interrogation 17 18.

Zhang Nan formally introduced Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu to them during a banquet. By the following day, the generals had identified Xiao Wu as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast through their senses, informed Zhang Nan through their connection, and obeyed his instruction to conceal that knowledge 19 20.

Relationships

• Zhang Nan — Their Sect Master and summoner. They show complete obedience, receive his mental commands, and are rewarded by him for service 2 3 18.
• Tang Hao — Opponent defeated by Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao during Zhang Nan's assault on Holy Soul Village 5.
• Zhao Wuji — Target of Zhang Nan's retaliation; Zhang Fei severely beat him while the other generals provided overwhelming support and intimidation 12 13 14.
• Yu Xiaogang — Surrounded and interrogated by the generals after Zhang Nan demanded the Papal Token 17 18.
• Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu — Introduced to the generals by Zhang Nan at a banquet; the generals later concealed their recognition of Xiao Wu's soul-beast identity 19 20.
