Background
Lin Xiao was an orphan after transmigrating to Douluo Continent; the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect took him in. His stories from his former world made him Ning Rongrong’s closest childhood companion, and the sect allowed their constant companionship. 1
Before his Martial Soul awakening, Lin Xiao feared that poor talent would reduce him from Rongrong’s companion to an ordinary chores disciple. Instead, he awakened an unprecedented detached Martial Soul: a thousand living, penguin-like Gugas. His innate full Soul Power immediately secured Ning Fengzhi’s support and a place within the sect’s core household. 1 2
Personality
Lin Xiao is outwardly lazy, playful, and fond of enjoying the comforts supplied by the sect, often leaving work to the Gugas while he rests. He also enjoys teasing Ning Rongrong with absurd stories and repeatedly treats dangerous inventions as opportunities for spectacle. 5 7 16 17
Beneath this behavior, he is practical and survival-minded. He prioritizes Soul Power capacity, physical strength, armor, and other life-saving measures rather than pursuing direct offensive skills alone. He also uses the sect’s resources strategically to develop both its technology and his own cultivation. 6 9 16
He is protective toward those he accepts as his own, particularly Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the Gugas. However, he is willing to deceive others—including Xiao Wu—to secure their safety or achieve a desired outcome. 3 11 14
Abilities & Skills
Guga Martial Soul
Lin Xiao’s Martial Soul manifests as approximately 1,000 autonomous but obedient Gugas. They recognize him as their boss, can follow coordinated orders, and possess individual professions, personalities, tools, and specialized talents. 1 3
- Command and coordination: Lin Xiao can order the Gugas into formations and assign them to construction, combat, scouting, cooking, medicine, transport, and other tasks. 2 3 5
- Specialized Guga types: Known groups include Mechanic, Mage, Carpenter, Chef, Ninja, Thief, Doctor, Gardener, Alchemist, Daoist, Makeup Artist, Musician, and Fat Gugas. 3 5 9 13 21 24
- Exceptional physical force: Evil Fat Guga can destroy a Soul Gathering Turtle’s shell, uproot trees, and threaten Chen Xin’s defensive spirit ability through repeated strikes. 10 23
- Independent durability: Injuries suffered by individual Gugas are not transferred to Lin Xiao. 6
- Soul Power cost: Combat and magic consume significant Soul Power; crafting consumes less depending on difficulty, while ordinary movement and play do not consume it. 5
- Food-based recovery: Gugas can restore the Soul Power they consume by eating, with food recovering it more efficiently than meditation. If they are not fed, they continue drawing on Lin Xiao’s Soul Power. 4 5
- Recall limitation: Recalling the Gugas into his body also consumes Soul Power. 10
- Ring growth: Use of the Gugas’ abilities gradually strengthens Lin Xiao’s spirit rings. 10 21
Spirit Gathering Seal
Lin Xiao’s first spirit skill originates from the Soul Gathering Turtle spirit ring. 10 22
- Raises his defense by 100% for a period of time. 10
- Raises Soul Power recovery speed by 100% while active. 10
- Improves his Soul Power capacity and physical strength. 10
- Can be used alongside Guga Field to support repeated enhancement stacking. 22
Guga Field
Lin Xiao’s second spirit skill, obtained from the Vajra King Bear spirit ring, is a versatile enhancement field. 21 22
- Guga enhancement: Can greatly increase a Guga’s physical strength, speed, and destructive power. 22
- Object enhancement: Can increase the hardness and gravity of objects handled by Gugas, such as turning loosened earth as hard as stone. 22
- Stacking: Its effects can theoretically stack indefinitely, but Soul Power consumption rises exponentially. 22
- Current limit: Lin Xiao can stack the effect five times when combining it with Spirit Gathering Seal and his current reserves. 22
- Tactical effect: Repeated layers can make the empowered Guga and object glow intensely, potentially blinding opponents before an attack. 22
Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone
Lin Xiao absorbed the stolen 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone to prevent Tang San from gaining it and to obtain its healing power. 20 21
- Grants flight. 21
- Grants the healing ability “wildfires cannot burn it out, the spring breeze blows it back to life,” capable of regenerating severed limbs. 21
- Its possession is concealed because Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin expect its original owner to pursue it. 21
Technology and Production
Using the Gugas’ mechanical, magical, and alchemical specialties, Lin Xiao introduces technology that can be operated with ordinary materials and without spirit power. 16
- Armor forging: The Mechanic Gugas forged a red-and-gold armor suit with high durability, force-deflection properties, and uncontrolled gunpowder-powered flight. 8 9
- Vehicles: After obtaining his first spirit ring, Lin Xiao unlocks vehicle construction through the Mechanic Gugas, leading to electric tricycles and modified motorcycles. 13 16 19
- Assembly line: He establishes a sect-backed production line using conveyor belts and manually generated electricity. 16 17
- Grenades: His factory produces mini grenades with explosive power comparable to a full-strength Spirit Ancestor attack. 17
- Alchemy: Alchemist Gugas produce the First-Grade Super Strength Guga Pill, which increases strength by 20% for one hour; its effectiveness declines against higher-level Soul Masters. 24
- Experimental medicine: A failed cultivation pill instead proves to be a powerful detoxifying medicine, later called the “Stretch Legs and Stare Pills.” 25 26

- Ning Fengzhi — sect master, benefactor, and paternal sponsor whom Lin Xiao calls “Uncle Ning.” He directs sect resources toward Lin Xiao’s cultivation, inventions, and alchemy research. 2 6 16 24

- The Gugas — Lin Xiao’s Martial Soul manifestations and personal workforce. They are fiercely loyal, compete for his favor, and serve as his combat force, household staff, inventors, and agents. 2 6 13
