Background

Wang Chao was regarded as Bay City Martial Arts High School’s leading talent and one of its three established Dark Force experts alongside Li Yan and Qian Feng. He became class monitor and reached Great Completion of Bright Force as early as his first year. 50 84

Jiang Tian once recommended him for China Martial Arts University’s Special Admission Assessment, but Wang Chao was eliminated before he could properly display his ability. The setback affected him deeply and drove him into prolonged closed-door cultivation. 50

He spent nearly two months in a retreat room before the Martial Arts Entrance Exam, rising from Minor to Major Dark Force Mastery. He intended to use an exceptional examination result to earn China Martial Arts University admission through his own strength. 77

Appearance

After emerging from retreat, Wang Chao was pale and carried an oppressive Major Dark Force aura. 77

• Left a deep claw mark in an eight-centimeter-thick iron retreat-room door with a slight exertion of force. 77
• His presence alone caused nearby Bright Force students to lower their heads. 77

Personality

Wang Chao is quiet, disciplined, and intensely ambitious. He habitually arrives early to train and initially treats Bay City’s sole China Martial Arts University place as a goal he must secure. 77 83

Despite his competitiveness, he is reflective rather than arrogant. After performing below his own expectations in the Points Tournament, he identified anxiety as the source of his mistakes and recognized Yang Sheng’s discipline and composure as the qualities that had unsettled him. 88

He adheres to a strong martial code. When Captain Ma offered him a strength-enhancing potion, controlled admission, and an order to kill Yang Sheng, Wang Chao refused despite the risk to his university prospects. 94

Story Role / Major Arcs

Special Admission Failure and Seclusion

Wang Chao’s failure in the Special Admission Assessment became the driving force behind his extended retreat. He emerged at Major Dark Force Mastery determined to prove that China Martial Arts University had been wrong to reject him. 50 77

Martial Arts Entrance Exam

He opened the Fitness Assessment with Bay City’s highest score at the time, 92 points, establishing himself as the school’s strongest seeded contender before Yang Sheng arrived and scored 99. 79

During the Points Tournament, Wang Chao led after the first day and scored 303 points on the second day, becoming Bay City’s first contestant to exceed 300 points in a single day. His aggressive strategy, however, drained his mental strength and left him vulnerable to defensive traps. 88 89

Yang Sheng ultimately surpassed him with 952 points to take first on the leaderboard, while Wang Chao finished second with 892 points. Wang Chao congratulated him but refused to concede the eventual championship. 93

Refusal of Captain Ma’s Offer

After the Points Tournament, Captain Ma asked Wang Chao to kill Yang Sheng in exchange for a special potion and a controlled admission place at China Martial Arts University. Wang Chao refused both the potion and the arrangement, insisting on a fair fight. 94

Final Duel with Yang Sheng

During Li Yan’s Flesh Parasite rampage, Wang Chao was severely injured and nearly killed before Qian Feng intervened. He subsequently watched Yang Sheng defeat the transformed Li Yan and fully acknowledged Yang Sheng’s ability. 99 101

Wang Chao then challenged Yang Sheng directly. Yang Sheng defeated him in two minutes, and Wang Chao accepted the loss with exhilaration rather than bitterness. 101

Notable Quotes
