Background / History

War against the Invasion Alliance

Xingtian rose to prominence during one of Huaxia Star’s most dangerous early wars. An alliance of several cosmic races invaded while the Federation still had limited fleets and top-tier fighters. Xingtian was not its strongest warrior at the time, but he led the operation that struck directly at the alliance’s leadership 35.

With three thousand Soul Masters, he began a deep strike across more than ten light-years of contested space. The corps repeatedly breached blockades without stopping to occupy territory or wait for reinforcements. Its objective was the enemy command fortress rather than the destruction of every opposing fleet 35 36.

At the final defenses, the corps formed a battle array and concentrated its Soul Power into Xingtian. He broke through the barriers, led the assault into the headquarters, and helped destroy the alliance’s war palace and kill its leaders. The loss of command threw the enemy fleet into disorder and turned the wider war in Huaxia Star’s favor. Mozi’s Soul Engineer forces supported the operation by holding the front and protecting the raiders’ rear 36 37.

Present-day service

Xingtian remains a Federation Councilor and actively trains Soul Master Corps recruits. When the Sky Screen broadcasts his past campaign, he judges his younger self harshly: the mission succeeded, but he believes better execution could have reduced the risks borne by his subordinates 32 33 36.

Appearance

• Height and build: Over two meters tall, with a mountain-like physique and heavily knotted muscles 33.
• Unusual face: Has a head without a conventional face; a fierce, majestic face sits within his broad chest and abdomen 33.
• Presence: Radiates oppressive strength even while standing still 33.
• Battle appearance: Carries a giant axe and round shield, wears combat armor, and manifests brilliant golden light and ten Soul Rings 33 35 36.

Personality

Xingtian is an intimidating, exacting instructor. He demands continuous training and threatens to double the workload of anyone who slacks off. Recruits fear him enough to resume their exercises immediately at his command 33.

In battle, he is fearless and relentless, willing to lead a small force through overwhelmingly superior enemy formations. Some fellow councilors call him a reckless brute, but acknowledge that his willingness to attempt the seemingly impossible helped save Huaxia Star 35.

His pride in the corps does not prevent self-criticism. Watching the raid years later, he focuses on its avoidable dangers rather than simply celebrating victory, while affirming that his soldiers did not disgrace their homeland 36.
