Power Progression

Background and History

Qian Renchuan is the eldest of three children born to Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong; Qian Renxue is the second child, and the youngest is known within Spirit Hall as Qian Yuhao, though Renchuan recognizes him as Huo Yuhao. Renchuan has memories of a previous life and realizes that both younger siblings have been reborn with their own memories 1 2 3.

While still in the womb, Renchuan hears his siblings’ thoughts and learns of their intentions to oppose Tang San. He binds them through the Strongest Rebate System before birth, regarding their previous divine achievements and retained experience as reliable sources of future returns. He deliberately tries to be born first so that he will be their elder brother. Qian Daoliu names him with the wish that he will flow unceasingly like a mighty river and carry on the Angel Clan’s glory 1 2.

As a child, he spends much of his time sleeping while Renxue trains and Yuhao cultivates. Unbeknownst to them, he has bonded both siblings through a system that grants him tenfold returns on their progress. His apparent waste of talent frustrates his father and grandfather even after he awakens twin martial souls and level-25 Innate Soul Power 2 4 6 9.

Qian Xunji sends the triplets to Spirit Academy, hoping competition will make Renchuan train. Instead, Renchuan initially sleeps through lessons and defeats students who challenge or attack him. After he beats a group led by class monitor Huyan Ye without using a martial soul, the class nominates him as its new monitor. He accepts only after appointing Zhang Meng as deputy to handle the work 10 12 16 25 29.

Renchuan later obtains premium Whale Rubber and divides it between Renxue and Yuhao. Their strengthened bodies bring him further system returns, but the gift also changes how both siblings regard him. On their journey to the Star Dou Great Forest for soul rings, he encourages leisurely stops and draws their portraits. In the forest, Renxue’s successful absorption of a thousand-year first ring increases his accumulated Soul Power 31 34 41 42 45.

Before the journey, his academy routine begins to change: he attends class on time and no longer sleeps at his desk, instead taking followers to explore the Back Mountain after lessons. Their unsuccessful attempt at grilling fish leads him to seek Yuhao’s help. Sharing the resulting meal and bringing fish back for Renxue further strengthens his relationships with both siblings 36 37 38 39.

Huo Yuhao’s Departure

When Yuhao decides to leave Spirit Hall, Renchuan first objects out of concern for the dangers outside. Yuhao gives him a Flying Soul Tool and teaches him to operate it, but Renchuan ultimately returns it so that his brother can use it on his journey. He accepts a Milk Bottle Soul Tool in exchange and allows Yuhao to leave after warning him to be careful 47 48.

Renchuan realizes that Yuhao intends to seek the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and fears that Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts could kill him. Nevertheless, he respects his brother’s decision and receives Yuhao’s promise to return after finding the person he seeks. When the others discover the departure, Renchuan offers to take responsibility, although Yue Guan and Gui Mei doubt that a six-year-old can bear the Pope’s anger 48 50.

First and Second Soul Rings

After Renxue acquires her second ring, Renchuan’s accumulated Soul Power exceeds 100,000, triggering a system upgrade. The group chooses a Scale Armor Beast and a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear for his Skin Martial Soul, requiring a search beyond the forest’s outskirts 51.

He absorbs a fifteen-hundred-year Scale Armor Beast ring despite the pain, astonishing Renxue and the accompanying Douluo. His first skill, Hundred-Scale Transformation, allows him to shape his scales into offensive and defensive forms; he demonstrates it by piercing the dead beast’s hide with a swordlike hand. He also identifies Dugu Xin and his wife’s martial soul and confirms that Dugu Xin is Dugu Bo’s son 53 54 55.

Renchuan then spends accumulated Soul Power to raise his first ring to 2,300 years. The enhancement sends him into a sleep from which even the two Titled Douluo cannot awaken him. He subsequently absorbs a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear’s ring slightly over a thousand years old with little difficulty, obtains Dark Gold Tear, and immediately orders another enhancement 56 59 62.

His second enhancement again causes him to collapse into deep sleep, alarming Renxue. Yue Guan and Gui Mei find him unharmed, and Gui Mei carries him as the group leaves the forest. Half a day later, Renchuan awakens at level 29 with a 3,600-year second ring 63.

New System Targets and Arena Victory

On returning to Spirit City, Renchuan encounters two orphaned children and learns that they are Xie Yue and Hu Liena. He recognizes them as future members of Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation and binds both as high-fortune system targets. When Renxue prepares to kill Hu Liena because of her actions in the previous timeline, he blocks her and arranges for both children to live at his Riverside Courtyard rather than enter the nursery 65 66.

At Spirit Academy, Renchuan discovers that Huyan Feng has destroyed the flower he entrusted to Li Yan. Huyan Feng seeks revenge for his younger brother Huyan Ye’s defeat. Renchuan suspects that his father has arranged another “whetstone” for him and challenges Huyan Feng to a public arena duel 59 69.

Renchuan avoids Huyan Feng’s attacks before defeating the level-31 defense-type Soul Elder with his second soul skill. The victory draws enthusiastic praise from his followers and attention from upper-year girls. Renxue pulls him away and repeats Yuhao’s warning to be wary of Bibi Dong, while also cautioning him against girls attracted to his status and talent 71 73.

Theoretical Research and Manuscripts

Renchuan asks Qian Xunji for more Whale Rubber, unrestricted access to Spirit Hall’s library, and freedom to leave the academy so that he can write a book refuting Yu Xiaogang. His father objects because he fears provoking Bibi Dong, but Renchuan insists that he honor his promise rather than substitute another reward. Renchuan subsequently immerses himself in research, with Hu Liena summoned to attend to his daily needs 76 77.

He also arranges for small amounts of minced Whale Rubber to be added to Xie Yue and Hu Liena’s meals, since their young bodies cannot withstand consuming it directly. Their gradual improvement, together with Renxue’s training, supplies further tenfold returns and brings him to the level-30 threshold 78.

A major opportunity obtained by the absent Yuhao later raises Renchuan’s accumulated Soul Power to 443,890. Renchuan takes this as evidence that his brother has succeeded and converts the return into System Points to purchase advanced theories instead of continuing to read older books individually. He redeems several ancient theoretical texts and stores them in his Storage Soul Tool 89 90.

By Chapter 95, he has produced manuscripts titled Ten Laws of Martial Soul Evolution and Fundamentals of Martial Soul. The first directly challenges Yu Xiaogang’s theories; the second provides accessible guidance for newly awakened commoner soul masters. He intends to finish the theoretical compilation, have the works printed and published, and then obtain his third soul ring 95.

Bibi Dong visits the Scripture Repository and offers to inspect his work and provide suggestions, leaving Renchuan wary of her intentions. Yue Guan later delivers a large stack of Renchuan’s manuscript pages to Qian Xunji, whose curiosity and paternal pride overcome some of his disapproval of the boy’s research. After reading the manuscript, Qian Xunji orders continent-wide distribution through Spirit Hall’s branches, calling for free copies for commoner soul masters and public acknowledgment of Renchuan’s authorship 95 97.

Publication and Third Soul-Ring Hunt

Renchuan’s popularity at Spirit Academy becomes burdensome when admirers begin leaving large numbers of love letters and gathering outside his classroom. Renxue reads a pile of the letters, and Li Yan reveals that some are from older boys. Renchuan struggles to avoid the persistent attention until the academy approves his Soul Hunting Plan 99.

He chooses two veteran Soul Douluo instructors rather than Yue Guan and Gui Mei as escorts to keep his identity discreet. As he leaves for the Star Dou Great Forest, Spirit Hall finishes printing five thousand copies of his books. Qian Xunji orders copies sent to the two empires, Spirit Academy, and Spirit Hall’s senior officials, requiring the latter to review them and report within ten days 99.

Accompanied by Huo Sisi and Ivan, Renchuan enters the forest’s middle region to search for a Thousand Jun Ant more than five thousand years old. He rejects an unsuitable eight-thousand-year snake and directs the instructors to look for large ant nests. Meanwhile, a man in black kills a King Kong Baboon infant and carries its corpse toward them, provoking the infant’s troop into a rampage 107.

During the ensuing beast tide, Renchuan fights alongside his escorts rather than remaining entirely behind them. His first and second rings are revealed to have reached 4,100 and 5,300 years. He uses scale shields, dark-gold claws, and spiritual perception to kill attacking thousand-year soul beasts, astonishing both instructors. Liu Erlong and members of Blue Tyrant Academy also become involved in the crisis 109 110 111 113.

Renchuan begins absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring amid the fighting. He encloses himself in the Immovable Wisdom King Barrier, accelerates time within it, and uses the system to strengthen his body during absorption. The barrier repels two ten-thousand-year King Kong Baboons, allowing his defenders to continue fighting. The hidden Belial waits for the defenders to exhaust their Soul Power rather than immediately attacking 113.

Completing the third ring raises Renchuan directly from level 30 to level 34. Qian Daoliu subsequently examines him and is astonished by a grandson under seven possessing both Soul Elder cultivation and a black third ring 116 118.

Reunion with Huo Yuhao and Return Journey

After the crisis, Renchuan refuses to return immediately to Spirit Hall with Qian Daoliu. He calls Yuhao out of hiding, explaining that their grandfather had noticed him but chosen not to interfere. Hearing Yuhao’s thoughts, he understands that his brother doubled back simply to spend more time with him and invites him to travel together. Liu Erlong and her injured companions join them on the journey to Blackstone Town, while Qian Daoliu secretly remains nearby to protect his grandsons after the assassination attempt and the appearance of a threatening aura 119.

The hunt has nearly exhausted Renchuan’s accumulated Soul Power, but he spends 1,200 System Points, equivalent to 12,000 accumulated Soul Power, on healing pills for those injured protecting him. Ivan, Huo Sisi, Liu Erlong, and the others subsequently recover completely from their severe injuries 120 122.

During their conversation, Yuhao asks whether Renchuan was punished for allowing him to leave. Renchuan says that Qian Xunji was too busy to bother with the matter, but Yuhao interprets his casual answer as an attempt to hide the burdens he has borne for his younger brother. Renchuan recognizes the misunderstanding and chooses not to correct it 120.

Renchuan demonstrates his third soul skill, Diamond Tyrant Body, by inviting Yuhao to punch him at full strength. He remains unmoved, while the skill’s recoil sends Yuhao flying. After resting overnight, the group travels toward Blackstone Town over several days, with Liu Erlong’s students obtaining their remaining soul rings along the way 121 122.

At the town’s edge, Liu Erlong invites Renchuan to Blue Tyrant Academy. He gives her a Jade Pendant and promises that she can seek his help throughout Spirit Hall’s territory. In Blackstone Town, he finds a crowd outside a bookshop advertising Ten Laws of Martial Soul Evolution and Fundamentals of Martial Soul under the name Grandmaster Xiaochuan for one Copper Soul Coin each 122.

Yuhao later asks whether Renchuan knows about the second awakening of Body Martial Souls, hoping to test whether he is a fellow reborn person or a deity’s chosen heir. By their next parting, Yuhao has concluded that Renchuan belongs to the current era and simply possesses extraordinary talent, possibly with divine patronage. Renchuan accepts a booklet from him, ruffles his hair, and tells him to return to Spirit City whenever he encounters trouble he cannot handle 125 131.

Family Estrangement and Further System Plans

After learning that Bibi Dong secretly sent people to ambush and kill Renchuan, Renxue seeks him out to offer comfort. Instead, she finds him reclining comfortably on the Back Mountain while classmates attend to him and Hu Liena and Xie Yue perform strenuous squats carrying pig iron. Renchuan explains his attitude toward Bibi Dong by declaring that they can go their separate ways and owe each other nothing, surprising Renxue with his composure 133 134 135.

Renchuan declines Renxue’s offer to handle his affairs because doing so would interrupt her cultivation and therefore reduce his own system returns. He instead encourages her to become strong enough to support him. Dissatisfied with the slow replenishment of his reserves, he begins considering additional Bond Objects 137.

He lists Yan, Ning Rongrong, Feng Xiaotian, Oscar, and Shui Bing’er as prospective targets, but considers most too young to cultivate usefully. He then plans to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest after Spirit Hall’s coronation ceremony, obtain Immortal Herbs, and give them to Renxue and Yuhao to generate further tenfold returns. Remembering his earlier connection with Dugu Xin and his wife, he adds Dugu Yan to his list 138.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling later encounter him on Spirit Mountain. After they abandon their attempt to climb to the summit, eat his food, and are escorted down by Xie Yue and Hu Liena, Renchuan checks his panel and discovers that both girls have become Bond Objects. He speculates that talented figures from the original story may generally qualify 145 146.

A Hall Guard Knight summons him to the Pope’s Palace shortly before the coronation ceremony, where Renxue has also been called and Bibi Dong is present. Renchuan is dismayed that Qian Xunji has released Bibi Dong after confining her, believing his father is once again risking the fate of being killed and devoured by her. He nevertheless recognizes the decision as consistent with Qian Xunji’s inability to deal ruthlessly with his former disciple 146 147 148.

Personality

• Comfort-seeking: Renchuan prefers sleep, food, fishing, and sightseeing to formal training. He regards the system’s returns as a reason not to cultivate himself 4 9 36 41.
• Unconcerned with status: He tries to avoid sparring, ignores classmates’ accusations, and delegates his duties as class monitor so they will not interrupt him 13 21 29.
• Forceful when disturbed: He threatens maids who urge him to train and beats students who attack him or disrupt his sleep 9 19 25.
• Affectionate but calculating: He gives his siblings Whale Rubber and saves food for Renxue, while privately anticipating both system gains and greater trust from them. He also shows genuine worry when Yuhao says he intends to leave Spirit Hall 20 32 38 47.
• Respectful of his brother’s resolve: Despite fearing for Yuhao’s safety, he ultimately lets him leave and returns the Flying Soul Tool to help him travel 48.
• Protective of useful system targets: He intervenes against Renxue’s intended killing of Hu Liena and houses the orphaned siblings himself, explicitly recognizing that their deaths would deprive him of future returns 66.
• Proud of his hobbies: The destruction of a flower he has carefully grown provokes genuine anger and helps motivate his challenge to Huyan Feng 69.
• Receptive to praise and beauty: He enjoys his followers’ flattery and the attention of pretty upper-year girls after his arena victory 73. However, persistent admirers and their love letters later become an exhausting nuisance 99.
• Persistent in intellectual pursuits: Although unwilling to engage in conventional cultivation, he insists on writing his theoretical books despite his father’s objections and works extensively with library materials and system-purchased texts 76 89 95.
• Self-reliant in danger: Despite his laziness, he refuses to entrust his survival entirely to others and actively fights during the beast tide 109 110.
• Grateful to his protectors: He spends most of his remaining available resources on healing pills for the people gravely injured defending him 120 122.
• Pragmatic about family estrangement: He responds to Bibi Dong’s assassination attempt by accepting separation rather than continuing to seek maternal recognition 133 135.
• Demanding toward trainees: While avoiding conventional training himself, he insists that Hu Liena and Xie Yue build strong foundations from early childhood and orders them to resume strenuous exercise when they stop to greet Renxue 134.

Appearance

Renchuan inherits the striking looks of Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong. Before turning seven, he is already taller than his peers, with a handsome face, sword-like brows, starry eyes, and a distinctive bearing. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are momentarily distracted from crying when they see him clearly 145.

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

• Skin: A Body Martial Soul that initially manifests as tougher skin. Yuhao recognizes its potential even when Spirit Hall’s onlookers dismiss it 5.
• Seraphim: The Qian family’s inherited Angel Martial Soul; its appearance reveals Renchuan’s twin martial souls 5.
• Body Martial Soul potential: Yuhao associates the Skin Martial Soul with the future Body Sect’s powerful martial souls and believes a second awakening could allow exceptional bodily development. Renchuan has not demonstrated such a second awakening in the available account 5. Yuhao later directly asks him about second awakenings as a test of his origins 125.
• Soul-ring status: He obtains his first two rings for the Skin Martial Soul and initially delays his third-ring hunt while completing his books 54 62 89 95. He subsequently acquires a ten-thousand-year third ring, becoming a level-34 Soul Elder with a purple, purple, black configuration 116 120 121.

Soul Rings and Soul Skills

Tenfold-Return System

• Renchuan bonds Qian Renxue and Huo Yuhao, then receives tenfold returns when their cultivation or other efforts produce gains 2 4.
• Recorded rewards include Soul Power, physical enhancement, mental strength and control, sacred-attribute affinity, Angel Origin Power, and beginner Soul Tool understanding 4 7 9 34 45.
• The rewards do not remove his need for a soul ring to advance 21 45.
• The system introduces itself as the Strongest Rebate System 1.
• Returns from Yuhao’s Mysterious Heaven Skill widen Renchuan’s meridians and bring his internal power toward liquefaction. Yuhao’s Purple Demon Eyes practice and Renxue’s contemplation of the Angel God also strengthen his spiritual power 4.
• Reaching the accumulated Soul Power cap triggers an upgrade without changing the tenfold-return mechanism. The upgrade allows him to spend accumulated Soul Power to enhance soul-ring ages, soul bones, and other eligible objects 51.
• The System Shop converts Soul Power into shop points at a ratio of 10:1. Renchuan uses it to purchase advanced theoretical texts 51 89 90.
• Ring enhancement is limited by what his body can withstand. His first two uses cause deep, temporarily uninterruptible sleep, after which the enhanced rings and improved physical condition are apparent 56 59 62 63.
• Xie Yue and Hu Liena become additional bonded targets after the system identifies their high fortune 66.
• Distance does not prevent returns from the departed Yuhao: Renchuan continues receiving rewards while his brother travels and later gains a major opportunity 56 89 95.
• He uses system-assisted bodily strengthening while absorbing his ten-thousand-year third ring, nearly exhausting his accumulated Soul Power in the process 113 120.
• The shop also supplies healing pills. He spends 1,200 System Points, equivalent to 12,000 accumulated Soul Power, to treat his wounded companions 120 122.
• Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling later appear as new Bond Objects on his panel. Their inclusion leads him to speculate that talented people from the original story may qualify as targets 146.
• Yan, Ning Rongrong, Feng Xiaotian, Oscar, and Shui Bing’er are considered as prospective targets, but are not confirmed as bonded in the available account 138.

Thought Perception

• Renchuan can hear his younger siblings’ thoughts from before birth, allowing him to identify their previous lives and hostility toward Tang San 1 2.
• He continues to perceive their unspoken judgments and intentions during childhood, school conflicts, and later family conversations. Neither sibling is shown recognizing this ability 3 11 26 66 73.
• He uses this insight to understand their emotional needs, assess their responses to his gifts, and recognize Renxue’s intention to kill Hu Liena 32 45 66.
• After reuniting with Yuhao in the forest, he hears that his brother returned because he wanted to spend more time walking with him 119.
• He also perceives Yuhao’s later determination to return to Spirit City after finding Qiu’er and to protect him from future harm 131.

Mental Perception and Physical Combat

• His heightened perception lets him read incoming attacks and dodge a hammer-wielding student before disarming him with one punch. In this match, he activates his Skin Martial Soul rather than the Seraphim 15 16.
• Without using a martial soul, he defeats Li Yan and Zhao Mang, then overcomes Huyan Ye and more than a dozen older students in a dormitory fight 19 25.
• During the group fight, he spreads his mental power across the room to track punches and kicks 25.
• His system-enhanced physique enables him to absorb a fifteen-hundred-year first ring despite having given his premium Whale Rubber to his siblings. After enhancing that ring, absorbing his original second ring causes no appreciable strain or pain 53 54 62.
• Against Huyan Feng, he combines evasive movement with a decisive Dark Gold Rend attack to defeat a level-31 Soul Elder despite being a Soul Grandmaster 71.
• During the beast tide, his spiritual perception tracks attacking soul beasts, makes their movements appear slower, and reveals openings. Combined with his physique and enhanced rings, this allows him to kill thousand-year beasts rapidly and precisely 110.
• After the system’s enhancement and the tempering of his ten-thousand-year third ring, he can clash directly with a Soul King using physical strength alone 120.

Defensive Barrier and Time Acceleration

• Immovable Wisdom King Barrier: Creates a golden barrier enclosing a space with a three-meter radius around him. During his third-ring absorption, it repels attacks from two ten-thousand-year King Kong Baboons 113.
• Time acceleration: Increases the passage of time within the barrier severalfold, creating an apparent separation between its interior and the outside world. He uses it to assist his ten-thousand-year ring absorption while the battle continues outside 113.

Practical Knowledge

• Reading a soul-beast atlas helps him identify earth- and metal-attributed beasts suited to his Skin Martial Soul and suggest where to search for Light Butterflies 43.
• He draws lifelike portraits of Renxue and Yuhao during their journey 42.
• His familiarity with the original story lets him recognize Dugu Xin’s connection to Dugu Bo and identify Xie Yue and Hu Liena as future Golden Generation members 54 66.
• He arranges gradual nutritional strengthening for very young children by having Whale Rubber minced and incorporated into meals in small quantities 78.
• He directs the search for his intended third ring toward large ant nests, seeking a Thousand Jun Ant more than five thousand years old and rejecting an unsuitable snake 107.
• He supplements Hu Liena and Xie Yue’s nutritional strengthening with early physical training, including squats while carrying pig iron 134.
• He knows of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its Immortal Herbs, planning to use them to accelerate his siblings’ growth and his own system returns 138.

Written Works

• Storage Soul Tool — used to carry belongings, including his pillow and drawing supplies. He later stores system-redeemed theoretical texts in it 16 42 90.
• Golden Silkworm Silk pillow — brought to his Spirit Academy dormitory 16.
• Flying Soul Tool / Metal Folding Wings — a gift built by Yuhao. Renchuan learns to make a short, unsteady glide with it, then returns it to Yuhao for his departure into the forest 47 48.
• Milk Bottle Soul Tool — received from Yuhao in exchange for returning the Flying Soul Tool 48.
• Whale Rubber — initially obtained as a reward through Yue Guan with Qian Xunji’s authorization and divided between Renxue and Yuhao. He later requests further supplies and uses small portions to nourish Xie Yue and Hu Liena 30 31 34 76 78.
• Soul-beast atlas — consulted when selecting suitable beasts and identifying Light Butterfly habitat 43.
• Advanced theoretical texts — redeemed from the System Shop as source material for his planned rebuttal of Yu Xiaogang 89 90 95.
• Cultivated flower — left in Li Yan’s care at the academy; Huyan Feng destroys both the plant and its pot while awaiting Renchuan’s return 59 69.
• Healing pills — purchased for 1,200 System Points after the beast-tide crisis. They completely heal the severe injuries of Ivan, Huo Sisi, Liu Erlong, and the other injured companions 120 122.
• Jade Pendants — gives one to Liu Erlong as a token through which she can seek his help throughout Spirit Hall’s territory. He also recalls having given a Jade Pendant to Dugu Xin and his wife 122 138.
• Booklet from Huo Yuhao — accepted at their later parting before Yuhao resumes his travels 131.

Relationships

• Qian Renxue — younger sister and bonded system target. She initially condemns his laziness, then accepts him as family after he gives her Whale Rubber; she credits the gift with helping her absorb her first ring 4 34 45. She vows to protect him and take him to the Divine Realm, becomes deeply concerned when ring enhancement leaves him unconscious, and warns him against Bibi Dong and opportunistic academy girls. Renchuan is genuinely moved by her protective concern, although he conceals much of his understanding behind a carefree manner 34 63 73. Bibi Dong’s assassination attempt against him becomes intolerable to Renxue, who seeks him out to offer comfort. He later refuses to let her manage his affairs because it would interfere with her cultivation and his returns 133 134 135 137.
• Huo Yuhao / Qian Yuhao — youngest brother and bonded system target. Initially dismissive of Renchuan, Yuhao grows attached to him, makes him a Flying Soul Tool, and privately resolves to protect him 3 11 37 47. Renchuan ultimately supports his departure despite fearing for his life, returns the flying device, and accepts a Milk Bottle Soul Tool. Yuhao warns him about Bibi Dong and promises to return; his later cultivation and opportunities continue benefiting Renchuan through the system 48 89 95. They reunite in the forest, where Yuhao doubles back to spend more time with him. Yuhao later tests whether Renchuan is reborn, but concludes that he is an extraordinarily talented native of the era, possibly chosen by a deity. At their next parting, Renchuan promises to support him whenever he needs to return to Spirit City 119 120 125 131.
• Qian Xunji — father and Pope. Proud of Renchuan’s talent but angered by his idleness, he sends him to Spirit Academy and authorizes students to provoke him 6 10 18. Renchuan clashes with him over writing a book against Yu Xiaogang, refusing a substitute reward when his father objects. Qian Xunji nevertheless provides assistance for his daily needs, and the eventual size of his manuscript arouses curiosity and paternal pride 76 77 97. He enthusiastically supports publication after reading the work and orders broad distribution 97 99. Renchuan later regards his decision to release the confined Bibi Dong as a dangerous repetition of the mistakes that led to his original death 148.
• Bibi Dong — mother. She reacts with hatred to Renchuan’s awakened Angel bloodline 5. She requires the children to address her as “Sister” rather than “Mother.” Both younger siblings warn Renchuan that she may be dangerous; although he outwardly brushes off Renxue’s concern, he is wary when Bibi Dong unexpectedly visits his research desk to offer suggestions 48 73 95. She later secretly sends people to ambush and kill him. Renchuan responds by accepting that they should go their separate ways and owe each other nothing, rather than seeking reconciliation or maternal affection 133 135. He is concerned when Qian Xunji subsequently releases her from confinement 148.
• Qian Daoliu — grandfather. He recognizes Renchuan’s second martial soul but later worries that the boy is neglecting his gifts 3 5 9. He also bestows Renchuan’s name, expressing the hope that the eldest grandson will perpetuate the Angel Clan’s glory 2. After the third-ring crisis, he is astonished by Renchuan’s level-34 cultivation and black third ring. Although Renchuan declines to return immediately with him, he secretly follows to protect both grandsons 118 119.
• Huyan Ye — former class monitor who challenges Renchuan and later leads a group attack against him; Renchuan defeats the group 13 25 26. Huyan Ye later brings his older brother Huyan Feng to seek revenge and is angered to learn that his old seat has been reassigned to Li Yan 59 69.
• Huyan Feng — Huyan Ye’s older brother, a level-31 Soul Elder. He destroys Renchuan’s flower and seeks revenge for Huyan Ye. Renchuan challenges and defeats him in the Soul Fighting Arena, suspecting him to be another test arranged by Qian Xunji 59 69 71.
• Zhang Meng — classmate who nominates Renchuan as monitor and becomes his deputy, taking on the class duties 29 36. He remains an enthusiastic follower and celebrates Renchuan’s victory over Huyan Feng 69 71.
• Li Yan and Zhao Mang — dormitory classmates whom Renchuan defeats and makes responsible for cleaning and bringing his meals. Li Yan later tends his academy flower and receives Huyan Ye’s former seat 19 22 59 69. Li Yan continues attending him after his return from the third-ring hunt, fanning him while he relaxes on the Back Mountain 134.
• Xie Yue — orphaned child, future Golden Generation member, and additional system target. Renchuan brings him to the Riverside Courtyard with his sister and arranges gradual strengthening through Whale Rubber in their meals 66 78. He later subjects him to early physical training with pig iron and shares a moment of laughter with him over Hu Liena’s ink-covered face 134 138.
• Hu Liena — Xie Yue’s younger sister and additional system target. Renchuan protects her from Renxue’s intended attack and gives her a home at his courtyard. She later helps put away library books and attends to him during his research; misunderstanding his reaction to Yuhao’s system return as worry, she reports his condition to Qian Xunji 66 77 89 90 95. He later trains her physically alongside Xie Yue. She eagerly helps grind his ink, but becomes annoyed when he and her brother laugh at the ink covering her face 134 138.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei — the Titled Douluo who escort the triplets on their soul-ring hunt. Both repeatedly witness Renchuan’s unusual ring absorption and are unable to awaken him during system-enhancement sleep. Gui Mei carries him out of the forest after his second-ring enhancement, while Yue Guan later delivers his manuscripts to Qian Xunji 43 54 59 63 97. Renchuan chooses academy instructors instead of them for his third-ring hunt to keep his identity discreet 99.
• Dugu Xin — Dugu Bo’s son, whom Renchuan identifies after absorbing his first ring. Dugu Xin witnesses his Hundred-Scale Transformation demonstration and is astonished by its offensive power 54. Renchuan later recalls giving him and his wife a Jade Pendant when considering a connection to Dugu Yan 138.
• Huo Sisi and Ivan — veteran Soul Douluo instructors who accompany him on his third-ring hunt. They risk their lives defending him during the beast tide and suffer grave injuries. Recognizing their efforts, Renchuan purchases healing pills that restore them completely 107 110 120 122.
• Liu Erlong — Blue Tyrant Academy teacher who helps during the forest crisis and travels with him and Yuhao afterward. Renchuan thanks her for her assistance, heals the injured group with pills, and gives her a Jade Pendant promising access to his help. She invites him to visit Blue Tyrant Academy 113 119 120 122.
• Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling — young visitors to Spirit Mountain who are struck by his appearance. He feeds them and has Xie Yue and Hu Liena escort them down the mountain; afterward, he discovers that both are new Bond Objects 145 146.
