Background

Su Chen is a transmigrator who received the God-level Affix Disciple-Recruiting System. The system evaluates prospective disciples through nine Trait Entries; an applicant must possess at least three Supreme-Grade entries to meet Immortal Mountain’s standard. Every successful recruitment grants Su Chen nine Soul Power levels and a powerful nine-choice reward draw. 1 3

His Transcendent Immortal Flute initially offered little practical combat value beyond enhancing his temperament and charm. Rather than accept that limitation, Su Chen developed a cultivation method that tempered his body and soul, synchronized him with his Martial Soul, and evolved the flute from a decorative temperament-type Martial Soul into a versatile weapon. 5

Ning Rongrong became his first personal disciple after producing three Supreme-Grade Trait Entries. Su Chen defended her from Ma Hongjun, formally gave her an Immortal Mountain token, and began redesigning her cultivation around physical tempering, Tai Chi, Bagua, Spirit Ring selection, and Fenghou Qimen. 3 4 5 6

He later guided Zhu Zhuqing without initially accepting her, insisting that she personally meet the Three-of-Nine standard. Her diligence and repeated life-threatening training eventually evolved her Trait Entries enough for Su Chen to accept her as his second disciple. 13 27 Ye Lingling subsequently became his newest disciple and received a personalized path that transformed her healing Martial Soul toward battle-defense applications. 69 71 74

Appearance

Su Chen is consistently described as an extraordinarily handsome young man with a detached, immortal-like bearing. His presence is powerful enough to leave observers speechless, while his refined manner and natural sword intent make ordinary actions appear effortless and Dao-like. 1 13 25 64

• Usually wears flowing white or green robes with broad sleeves. 6 67
• Carries the jade-like Transcendent Immortal Flute, often with a green tassel. 67
• His movements are calm, measured, and seemingly synchronized with nature. 6 64
• His aura and appearance attract widespread admiration, including from visitors who initially approach Immortal Mountain with hostility. 3 25 64

Personality

Su Chen is principled and uncompromising in disciple recruitment. He refuses to lower Immortal Mountain’s Three-of-Nine requirement even for promising candidates such as Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, believing that exceptions would undermine the standard itself. 13 26

As a mentor, he is strict, analytical, and highly individualized. He designs cultivation plans around each disciple’s Martial Soul, physique, weaknesses, and long-term potential rather than following conventional Soul Master paths. His methods are often harsh, but he remains prepared to protect his students when their lives are genuinely endangered. 5 19 30 41

He is protective of those formally under his care. After accepting Ning Rongrong, he publicly warned that anyone who slandered, bullied, or coerced her would face consequences. 3 4 Despite his detached demeanor, he increasingly treats discipleship as a responsibility rather than merely a way to obtain system rewards. 71

Abilities & Skills

God-level Affix Disciple-Recruiting System

Su Chen’s system evaluates people through nine Trait Entries reflecting aptitude, potential, personality, Martial Soul, Soul Power, vitality, and other characteristics. Trait quality ranges from Inferior White to God-tier Gold. 1 25

• Requires at least three Supreme-Grade Trait Entries to consider an applicant for discipleship. 1 13
• Trait Entries are mutable rather than permanent; Su Chen believes effort, experiences, and changing circumstances can evolve them. 13
• Each accepted disciple grants him nine levels of Soul Power and a major reward draw. 1 3
• A disciple evolving a Supreme-Grade Trait Entry can grant him a God-Level lottery reward. 17 52
• Allows him to monitor disciple information, including Spirit Rings, Soul Power, treasures, and physical condition. 17 32

Transcendent Immortal Flute

Su Chen’s Martial Soul began as a temperament-type flute but evolved through his cultivation into a multifaceted combat Martial Soul. It can generate sound barriers, restrain enemies, heal allies, produce sword qi, and transform into a sword. 3 5 29

• Dust Melody Binds the Void — Restricts enemy movement through flute music. 5

Swordsmanship

Su Chen channels sword intent through his flute and has reached a state where nature itself can become an extension of his sword.

• Can transform the Transcendent Immortal Flute into a sword and use it to cleave through a mountain. 5
• His sword intent manifests through wind, maple leaves, moonlight, and surrounding natural phenomena. 64 67
• One — A formless sword principle embodying freedom, clear wind, bright moon, heaven and earth, and infinity rather than a fixed technique. 67
• His sword demonstration enabled Chen Xin to comprehend a higher realm and advance from Rank 96 to Rank 97. 67

Fenghou Qimen

A supreme art drawn from the system and later taught to Ning Rongrong. It surpasses ordinary Spirit Ring-based Soul Skills by establishing and controlling a Qimen formation. 6 40

• Establishes a central palace and governs the Heaven, Earth, Man, and Spirit plates. 40
• Manipulates elemental interactions, directional fortune, and spatial conditions within its formation. 40
• Can alter the flow of time; Su Chen demonstrated this by briefly halting time over Immortal Mountain. 40
• Supports water, fire, and other elemental techniques. 40

Mobility and Freedom Techniques

Su Chen’s eighth Spirit Ring grants abilities that make him exceptionally difficult to track, restrain, or strike. 33

• Ultimate Freedom — Frees his body and soul from ordinary restraints, making his physical state difficult to define or bind. 33
• Travel a Thousand Miles Without Leaving a Trace — Grants instantaneous, elusive movement that overwhelmed Tang Hao. 33
• Can use spatial movement to travel rapidly between distant locations. 33 55

• Sound Throughout Heaven and Earth — Maximizes perception, sensitivity, and affinity with heaven and earth. 29
• Wine Immortal Order — Strengthens sword qi and restores Soul Power. 29
• Transmute Heaven and Earth — Absorbs celestial energy and can temporarily raise his Soul Power limit by up to 300%. 29

Mind Reading Technique

• Allows him to perceive the thoughts of people regardless of whether they are Titled Douluo or ordinary civilians. 66
• Used it to uncover Yu Xiaogang’s involvement in provoking Tang Hao and Spirit Hall against Immortal Mountain. 66
• Its drawback is that Su Chen also hears private thoughts he would prefer not to know. 66

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Transcendent Immortal Flute — His Martial Soul and primary weapon; used for sound arts, healing, sword techniques, barriers, and control. 3 5 29
• Hundred-Thousand-Year Left Arm Soul Bone — Grants Wine Immortal Order and Transmute Heaven and Earth. 29
• Space-Splitting Claw — Evolvable divine artifact obtained through a God-Level draw; Su Chen later bestowed it upon Zhu Zhuqing as a right-hand treasure compatible with her Nether Claw. 29 30
• Flute Bone Tokens — Jade tokens identifying Immortal Mountain disciples; they can also serve as a one-use lifesaving measure during dangerous hunts. 4 81
• Immortal-Grade Flowers and Herbs — System-acquired resources Su Chen distributes according to each disciple’s cultivation needs. 71 74

• Zhu Zhuqing — Second personal disciple. He first guided her from a distance, then accepted her after her perseverance evolved three Supreme-Grade Trait Entries. 13 27
• Ye Lingling — Newest documented disciple. Su Chen is developing her Nine-Heart Begonia into a battle-defense Martial Soul. 69 71 74
• Tang San — Contracted guard apprentice rather than disciple; Tang San agreed to protect Immortal Mountain for ten years in exchange for Su Chen’s aid in rescuing Xiao Wu. 32 39
• Xiao Wu — Su Chen protected her secret as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast but rejected her request for discipleship due to concerns over her Peerless Devotion Trait. 56
• Chen Xin — Swordsmanship peer and ally. Su Chen’s display of sword intent enabled Chen Xin’s breakthrough to Rank 97. 66 67
• Ning Fengzhi — Ning Rongrong’s father and a political supporter who considers Su Chen an invaluable potential ally for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 11 66
• Tang Hao — Hostile opponent who attempted to seize Tang San’s contract; Su Chen decisively defeated him in the Star Dou Forest. 33 34
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei — Initially hostile Spirit Hall investigators who later recognized Su Chen’s strength and were warned that others had manipulated them into opposing Immortal Mountain. 62 64

Story Role / Major Arcs

Immortal Mountain Recruitment

Su Chen establishes the Trait Entry Detection Platform at the foot of Immortal Mountain to locate disciples capable of meeting his impossible Three-of-Nine standard. Ma Hongjun’s public failure demonstrates the gap between ordinary genius and Su Chen’s requirements, while Ning Rongrong becomes the first successful candidate. 1 3

Training Ning Rongrong

Su Chen dismantles conventional assumptions about support-type Soul Masters by training Ning Rongrong’s body, Tai Chi, Bagua, combat awareness, and Spirit Ring selection. Her victory over stronger opponents validates his approach and begins Immortal Mountain’s public rise. 5 11 19

Recruitment and Development of Zhu Zhuqing

Su Chen guides Zhu Zhuqing toward extreme speed, diligence, and self-reliance before accepting her as his second disciple. He equips her with the Space-Splitting Claw and directs her acquisition of the Man-Faced Demon Spider Spirit Ring and Eight Spider Lances. 13 27 30 32

Conflict with Shrek and Tang Hao

Su Chen rejects Tang San as a disciple because Tang San already serves Yu Xiaogang, but contracts him as Immortal Mountain’s guard after helping rescue Xiao Wu. When Tang Hao tries to reclaim the contract through force, Su Chen defeats him with his eighth-ring abilities and swordsmanship. 32 33

Soul Arena Expansion

Su Chen sends Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing into difficult outnumbered Soul Arena matches to test their training. Their victories over the Twin Stone Combination and Imperial Fighting Team elevate Immortal Mountain’s reputation across Suotuo City. 43 46 52

Spirit Hall and Sect Politics

As Immortal Mountain’s influence grows, Spirit Hall dispatches Yue Guan and Gui Mei to investigate. Su Chen repels their assault, exposes Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang’s manipulation, and gains the respect of Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi. 60 62 64 66

Breaking the Soul Power Limit

Using a God-Level selection opportunity, Su Chen removes the Level 99 Soul Power ceiling and reaches Level 104 without becoming a god. He then focuses on supplying his disciples with immortal treasures and individualized cultivation paths. 71 74 80

Trivia

• Su Chen’s disciple-recruitment requirement is so strict that even several renowned Shrek students fail to qualify. 1 9
• He initially accepted disciples largely for system rewards, but later acknowledged a responsibility to genuinely cultivate and protect them. 1 71
• His Immortal Spirit Qi conflicts with yin-cold techniques, limiting how much he can directly teach Zhu Zhuqing’s Frost Nether Dragon Claw. 41
