| Enhanced first Soul Ring | 79 | The Super Mutation Factor allowed him to increase his Soul Ring’s age through cultivation; he displayed a purple ring while using White Armor Dragon Body. |
| Super Mutation Factor rampage | 84 | Extreme exhaustion and damage triggered an uncontrollable half-dragon transformation with drastically increased physical power, but destroyed his rationality. |
Background
Chen Qi was raised in an ordinary farming family in Qingshi Village, with no Soul Master background or access to cultivation resources. His low innate talent left him far behind a childhood friend who advanced to an intermediate academy, while his father’s illness depleted the family’s savings and prevented him from obtaining a Soul Spirit after reaching Level 10. He eventually acquired his first Soul Ring only by encountering a mutated lizard with Soul Power. 57 58
Before joining Anti-Entropy, his Scaled Armor Beast Martial Soul was considered an exceptionally weak earth-dragon descendant, with dragon bloodline concentration below three ten-thousandths. Mo Yuan identified its degraded lineage as a suitable target for genetic restoration through the Meta-Morph Preparation. 57
Mo Yuan personally recruited Chen Qi by offering him a chance to become stronger. Chen accepted the risks of the experiment and became Anti-Entropy Technology’s first human employee; all prior personnel had been robots. 58
Appearance
Before his fusion, Chen Qi was a thin, dark-complexioned village boy whose labor-hardened hands and thick knuckle calluses reflected his rural upbringing. 57
- During Martial Soul Possession, pale-gray keratin patterns develop beneath his skin before thick white dragon scales cover his body. 60
- White Armor Dragon Body increases his size into a heavily armored, approximately two-meter-tall dragon-like combat form. 79
- During a Super Mutation Factor rampage, he becomes a massive upright half-dragon with enlarged limbs, claws, a tail, thick white scales, and dark-red slit pupils. 84
Personality
Chen Qi was initially quiet, cautious, and accustomed to being overlooked. His difficult upbringing left him painfully aware of the gap between himself and more talented Soul Masters, but he chose an extremely dangerous experiment rather than remain confined by poverty and low talent. 57 58
Following his transformation, he became increasingly confident in battle and fiercely loyal to Anti-Entropy and Mo Yuan, whom he calls the Alliance Leader. He is straightforward and often dismissive toward challengers, believing overwhelming force is the most effective answer to repeated provocation. 72 78 82
Despite his harshness toward enemies, Chen Qi can acknowledge fault. After losing control and nearly killing Yu Tianlei, he apologized upon regaining his senses. 84
Abilities & Skills
White Armor Earth Dragon Fusion
Chen Qi’s body incorporates White Armor Earth Dragon genes through the Meta-Morph Preparation, granting him a defensive and physical-combat specialization far beyond his original Martial Soul. 58 59
- His tested strength is approximately 1,500 kilograms. 60
- His endurance is nearly five times that of an ordinary one-ring Soul Master. 60
- His Soul Power reserves measure approximately equal to a Level 33 Soul Elder, despite his actual Level 12 cultivation at the time. 60
- His scales can withstand attacks at the Level 43 Soul Ancestor range and only begin to crack against attacks around Level 48. 60
- He could endure attacks from Soul Ancestors for approximately forty minutes during Class Zero training. 72
Dragon Scale Armor
Chen Qi can cover his body in thick white dragon scales that disperse and absorb incoming force.
- The scales endured a Soul Ray capable of killing a Level 30 Soul Elder without being scratched. 60
- Ye Xinglan’s Stargod Sword and Sword God Net failed to pierce or significantly mark his enhanced armor. 78 79
- His scales block most direct strikes from Xie Xie during sparring. 72 92
- Electricity can still damage and numb him; Yu Tianlei’s Blue Lightning Dragon Fury severely scorched and cracked his scales. 83 84
White Armor Dragon Body
His enhanced first Soul Skill envelops him in denser armor and strengthens his physical capabilities.
- Increases his strength and defense by 50%. 60
- Enlarges his frame and allows him to overpower a Level 31 Soul Elder combat robot despite limited combat experience. 60
- Lets him ignore the suppressive cutting effects of Ye Xinglan’s Sword God Net and force his way into close combat. 79
- Can be activated through his strengthened purple Soul Ring. 79
Soul Ring Growth
The Super Mutation Factor enables Chen Qi to raise the age of his Soul Ring through cultivation rather than relying solely on conventional advancement. 79
- His first Soul Ring had become purple by the Skysea Grand Competition. 79
- This enhancement strengthens the output of White Armor Dragon Body. 79
Super Mutation Factor Rampage
When pushed beyond his limits, Chen Qi’s mutation can override his mind and transform him into a violent half-dragon.
- The state was triggered after he endured Yu Tianlei’s Blue Lightning Dragon Fury while severely exhausted. 84
- In rampage form, he broke Yu Tianlei’s arm and nearly killed him. 84
- His raw strength exceeded Wu Zhangkong’s, forcing Wu to use several ice-based Soul Skills to restrain him. 84
- He cannot control his reasoning or distinguish restraint from lethal combat while rampaging. 84
- Gu Yuena can calm his Spirit Sea and suppress the mutation through spiritual power. 84
Combat Ability
Chen Qi primarily fights through direct pressure, durability, and close-range grappling or striking.
- He initially lacked practical combat experience, but adapted quickly during his first simulated battle and destroyed a combat robot through overwhelming physical force. 60
- He defeated Ye Xinglan twice, first in a restaurant confrontation and later in the Skysea Grand Competition. 78 79
- He withstood Yu Tianlei’s four-ring lightning techniques and repeatedly broke through the Thunder Domain with brute strength. 83
- He won the Skysea Grand Competition individual championship and helped Class Zero win the team championship. 89
Relationships
- Mo Yuan — Recruiter, Alliance Leader, and creator of Chen Qi’s Meta-Morph Preparation. Chen Qi’s loyalty to Anti-Entropy stems from Mo Yuan giving him a path beyond his former limitations. 58 72
- Gu Yuena — Observed his fusion and testing; later entered his Spirit Sea to calm him during his Super Mutation Factor rampage. 58 60 84
- Tang Wulin — Class Zero teammate and frequent sparring partner. Tang respects Chen Qi’s progress but worries about his excessive violence toward opponents. 72 78 82
- Xie Xie — Class Zero teammate who repeatedly trains against Chen Qi’s defense. Chen Qi encourages him not to underestimate the potential of his Twin Martial Souls. 72 82 92
- Wu Zhangkong — Class Zero instructor. Wu recognized Chen Qi’s danger during the rampage, restrained him, and concealed the incident from others. 72 84
- Ye Xinglan — Rival from Shrek Academy. Chen Qi defeated her in a restaurant confrontation and again in the Skysea Grand Competition, leaving her severely injured. 78 79
- Yu Tianlei — Shrek representative-team captain and challenger. Their fight pushed Chen Qi into rampage; Chen Qi later apologized after breaking Yu Tianlei’s arm. 82 83 84
- Xu Xiaoyan — Anti-Entropy associate whom Chen Qi was assigned to guide into Class Zero and familiarize with its routines. 129
Story Role / Major Arcs
Meta-Morph Experiment
Mo Yuan selected Chen Qi as the first subject for the Meta-Morph Preparation because his degraded dragon-descendant Martial Soul could potentially regain its missing genetic traits. Chen Qi accepted the experiment despite being warned that it could kill him. 57 58
The fusion nearly caused spiritual collapse and fatal genetic rejection. Mo Yuan refused to sedate him because interrupting the process would have caused the fusion to fail; Chen Qi endured the conflict and successfully became a Fusion Warrior. 59
Class Zero
Recommended by Anti-Entropy Technology, Chen Qi joined Eastsea Academy’s Class Zero alongside Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yuena. His exceptional strength, stamina, defense, Soul Power reserves, and rapid combat improvement immediately distinguished him from ordinary students. 72
Skysea Grand Competition
Chen Qi defeated Ye Xinglan after she challenged him outside a restaurant, then defeated her again after she appeared as his tournament opponent under a different identity. His victory attracted the attention of Chen Xinjie and other hidden observers. 78 79 80
He later accepted Yu Tianlei’s challenge and endured the latter’s strongest Soul Skill, but the battle triggered his Super Mutation Factor rampage. Gu Yuena’s intervention restored his sanity, allowing him to continue competing. 83 84
After returning to normal, Chen Qi won the individual championship and helped Class Zero secure the team championship. 89
Anti-Entropy Representative
Chen Qi’s performance became public proof of Anti-Entropy’s Fusion Warrior technology. Chen Xinjie concluded that the system could provide Soul Beast-like combat abilities without depending entirely on conventional Soul Rings or even Soul Power. 80
He remained a visible Anti-Entropy member within Class Zero, later helping introduce Xu Xiaoyan to the class after her recruitment. 119 129
Trivia
- Chen Qi was Anti-Entropy Technology’s first human employee; its earlier workforce consisted entirely of robots. 58
- His appetite increased drastically after becoming a Fusion Warrior, though Anti-Entropy’s high-energy food normally meets his nutritional needs. 76
- He was initially assessed with a mental-willpower rating of B before undergoing the Meta-Morph experiment. 57
- Cai Yue’er suspected Chen Qi might be an Evil Soul Master because his one-ring cultivation and combat strength seemed impossible by conventional standards. 99
