Su Chen

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Su Chen was an orphan raised by Old Jack in Holy Soul Village. Before his Martial Soul awakening, he retained memories as a transmigrator and anticipated entering the Soul Master path. At six, he awakened Innate Full Soul Power and secretly gained the Great Sun Golden Crow and Lunar Jade Rabbit Martial Souls. To avoid Spirit Hall political entanglements, he let Su Yuntao record his Martial Soul as the weaker-sounding Three-Legged Fire Crow. 1 2

He entered Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy through a Spirit Hall recommendation rather than using Holy Soul Village’s only work-study position, allowing Tang San to take that place. Although Old Jack saw this as generosity, Tang San interpreted it as calculated hostility, deepening their rivalry. 3

During the months before enrollment, Su Chen cultivated the Sun Immortal Scripture by day and the Lunar Immortal Scripture by night. The former tempered his body through Golden Crow True Flame, while the latter strengthened his spiritual perception through moonlight. 3

Qian Renxue encountered Su Chen while he sought his second Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest. Their solar Martial Souls resonated strongly, and Qian Renxue took responsibility for his cultivation after recognizing his exceptional potential. She later arranged a false identity for him and placed him in Heaven Dou Royal Academy. 16 17 20 21

After leading Heaven Dou Royal Second Team to victory in the Soul Master Tournament, Su Chen received the titles Marquis of the Golden Crow and Great General Who Guards the Nation. His fief includes Notting City, Iron Hammer City, and Sickle City. On returning home, he agreed to rename Holy Soul Village Golden Crow Village and exempted it from taxes. 97 103 104 105

Appearance

Su Chen is repeatedly noted for an unusually refined and beautiful appearance, which draws attention from students, nobles, and several female Soul Masters. His appearance is further transformed when he possesses the Lunar Jade Rabbit Martial Soul. 6 21 32

• Pale, crystal-like skin and delicate, elegant features. 3
• Golden-red wings manifest during Great Sun Golden Crow Martial Soul Possession. 13 15
• At age nine, he is described as approximately 1.7 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and a well-proportioned physique. 27
• Lunar Jade Rabbit possession gives him white hair, crimson eyes, a moon-shaped mark between his brows, and rabbit ears. 32

Personality

Su Chen is highly cautious and politically calculating. He conceals his true Martial Soul, uses his apparent youth to influence others’ perceptions, and avoids becoming dependent on powerful factions even when their support benefits him. 2 17 19 21

He is skeptical of authority figures he considers manipulative or incompetent, most notably Yu Xiaogang. Rather than seeking Yu Xiaogang’s guidance, he publicly challenges his theories and cultivation credentials. 5 7 8

Despite his pragmatism, Su Chen repays those who have genuinely supported him. He uses Golden Crow True Flame to nourish Old Jack, helps Su Yuntao gain a promotion, gives Old Jack a life-extending herb, and provides rare pills and treasures to allies. 4 33 34 37

Su Chen is protective and possessive toward those he accepts as his own. He defends Xiao Chenyu’s group from Tang San, pursues Xiao Wu after she is taken by the Titan Giant Ape, and retaliates harshly against opponents who attack him or his companions. 14 42 47

After nearly dying while defending Xiao Wu from Tang Hao, he resolves to help his companions become strong enough to protect themselves. His generosity also extends beyond his immediate circle: following his tournament victory, he funds public banquets, food, and clothing for vulnerable Notting City residents and grants his home village tax relief. 59 61 105

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Su Chen possesses two concealed god-tier Martial Souls, each accompanied by an internal cultivation scripture. His public identification records the Great Sun Golden Crow as a “Three-Legged Fire Crow.” 1 2 32

• Great Sun Golden Crow — A supreme-yang Martial Soul with Golden Crow True Flame, aerial mobility, powerful physical enhancement, and Martial Soul suppression. 13 15 24
• Lunar Jade Rabbit — A lunar Martial Soul with plant-identification, alchemical, spiritual, and yin-energy applications. Its aura naturally attracts and suppresses rabbit-type soul beasts, including Xiao Wu. 14 31 32
• He keeps his dual Martial Souls secret until revealing the Lunar Jade Rabbit at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; he later uses both together in a self-created Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 32 59

Sun Immortal Scripture

The Sun Immortal Scripture is contained within the Great Sun Golden Crow and is understood through contemplation rather than a direct cultivation technique. 1 3

• Converts absorbed sunlight into Golden Crow True Flame. 3
• Tempers Su Chen’s flesh, bones, organs, and limbs, allowing him to exceed ordinary Soul Ring absorption limits. 3 18
• Enables the development of the Golden Crow Divine Body. 33
• Can nourish others through controlled Golden Crow True Flame, as demonstrated when he improves Old Jack’s health. 4
• His understanding of solar power helps him draw immense power from the sun through the Golden Crow Domain, though forcing it through his body nearly kills him. 59 61

Lunar Immortal Scripture

The Lunar Immortal Scripture is contained within the Lunar Jade Rabbit Martial Soul and develops through moonlight contemplation. 1 3

• Enhances Soul Power circulation and spiritual perception under moonlight. 3 16
• Allows Su Chen’s spiritual power to extend beyond his body and perceive his surroundings in detail. 3
• After refining Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, allows him to manipulate moonlight through spiritual power at the “tangible yet formless” realm. 34
• Provides Lunar Yin Power capable of suppressing the dangerous properties of extreme ice- and fire-attributed herbs. 32

Golden Crow True Flame

Golden Crow True Flame is Su Chen’s primary fire power, characterized as Ultimate Fire and superior to ordinary fire and lightning attributes. 18 27

• Easily burns through Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass, including poison-enhanced vines. 14 40 41
• Melts Tang San’s hidden weapons, including Dragon Beard Needles. 41
• Suppresses weaker fire-attributed Martial Souls, including Ma Hongjun’s evil fire. 41
• Treats Dugu Bo’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison through controlled purification. 33
• Combines with Qian Renxue’s Sacred Flame to form Solar True Flame. 18

Golden Crow Radiant Sun

Su Chen’s first Soul Skill enhances his combat power through solar force. 13

• Increases strength, attack power, destructive force, and attack range by fifty percent. 13
• Incinerated a roughly 600-year Ghost Vine and its supporting tree within seconds. 13
• Its power is considered stronger than an ordinary Soul Grandmaster’s second Soul Skill. 13

Golden Crow Chasing the Sun

Su Chen’s second Soul Skill originates from the 2,000-year Azure Flame Sky Luan Soul Ring. 19

• Grants short-range linear acceleration comparable to teleportation. 19
• Doubles the power of attacks launched during its linear burst. 19
• Combined with Golden Crow Radiant Sun, it can instantly kill a Soul Elder. 19
• Allows aerial evasion and close-range surprise attacks against stronger opponents. 24 35

Golden Crow Domain

Su Chen awakened the Golden Crow Domain while absorbing his third Soul Ring. 27

• Its activation scorches the surrounding area and melts the ground into crimson lava. 27
• It is regarded as an exceptionally rare ability comparable in value to a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. 27
• It can burn and weaken targets over time, as shown against the Man Faced Demon Spider. 46
• Its five traits are Burning, Annihilation, Evil-Breaking, Solar Eclipse or sun-erosion, and Sky-Patrolling. Initially, only Burning is available. Against Tang Hao, Su Chen pushes the domain to its limit to draw on solar power and restore his strength, at extreme physical cost. 26 59

Golden Crow Sun Bathing

Su Chen’s third Soul Skill originates from the 7,000-year Scarlet Sky Crying Phoenix Soul Ring. 27

• Doubles all of Su Chen’s attributes. 27
• Removes control effects and prevents injuries from hindering his movement. 27
• Grants immunity to poison, curses, corrosion, lightning paralysis, and other negative effects. 27
• Enhances recovery while active. 27

Golden Crow Divine Body

The Golden Crow Divine Body is a body-tempering method Su Chen develops from the Sun Immortal Scripture and Icefire Essence-Stabilizing Pill. 33

• Contains 108,000 feather-shaped divine runes; only roughly one percent have awakened. 33
• Allows Su Chen to physically contend with Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts without activating his Martial Soul. 33
• Explains his ability to absorb Soul Rings far beyond normal age limits. 33 35
• Enables him to withstand true solar power briefly in his battle with Tang Hao, although the effort leaves him near death. 59 60

Golden Crow Shooting Sun Bow

Su Chen’s fourth Soul Skill comes from the 20,000-year Blackflame Purplecloud Eagle Soul Ring. 35

• Has no stated fixed power ceiling; its output depends on the Soul Power invested. 35
• Destroyed a massive tree from one hundred meters away and produced a large explosion. 35
• Can threaten a Soul Sage without Martial Soul Avatar and may be used at point-blank range with Golden Crow Chasing the Sun. 35 42
• Can also serve as a close-combat weapon, as demonstrated against Tang Hao. 59

Golden Crow Falling Feathers

Su Chen’s fifth Soul Skill comes from the 50,000-year Blackflame Mysterious Crow Soul Ring. 64

• Produces hundreds or thousands of explosive feathers formed from compressed Golden Crow True Flame; with sufficient Soul Power, it can produce tens of thousands. 64
• Consumes little Soul Power relative to the age of its Soul Ring and is suited to clearing groups of weaker enemies. 64

Sun and Moon in Radiance, Yin-Yang Great Millstone

Su Chen’s self-created Martial Soul Fusion Skill combines his Great Sun Golden Crow and Lunar Jade Rabbit Martial Souls. He first uses it against Tang Hao’s ninth Soul Skill. 59

• Forms a Yin-Yang Great Millstone that decomposes incoming attacks and erodes a target’s body, Soul Power, Martial Soul, and spirit. 59
• Absorbs energy as it operates, increasing its own power. Tang Hao breaks it with the Great Sumeru Hammer but suffers severe backlash and retreats. Using it leaves Su Chen exhausted and gravely injured. 59 60

Alchemy and Herbal Knowledge

Through the Lunar Jade Rabbit and Lunar Immortal Scripture, Su Chen can identify Immortal Herbs and refine medicines using the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a natural pill furnace. 31 32

• Trades suitable herbs to Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo in exchange for Soul Bones. 64 103

Martial Soul Compatibility

• Their Soul Powers naturally resonate and enhance one another’s recovery and density. 18 20
• Their flames combine into Solar True Flame. 18
• They are considered capable of developing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, though no completed fusion skill between the two is named. 20

Perception

After reaching level 20, Su Chen enters the Star Dou Great Forest with Gao Lu and meets Qian Renxue. He absorbs the 2,000-year Azure Flame Sky Luan Soul Ring, gains a powerful second skill, and allows Qian Renxue to become increasingly invested in his protection. 16 18 19

• He uses a fabricated profile at Heaven Dou Royal Academy: a twelve-year-old orphan from a northern city with level-23 Soul Power. 21
• His first documented Soul Ring configuration at Heaven Dou is Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, a sequence that shocks most observers. 35 40
• Xiao Wu can identify Su Chen by scent from as far as one li away. 14
• The Lunar Jade Rabbit’s aura causes Xiao Wu to mistake Su Chen for a rabbit-type soul beast or kin. 7 14
