Background and History

Xiao Dong was a webnovel reader who disliked stories in which a newcomer to the Douluo Continent submitted to Tang San or Shrek Academy. When a mysterious scroll offered him four of nine starting talents, he chose the Homelander Physique, Brain Martial Soul, Xiao Yan’s Legacy, and a wisp of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. The scroll then transported him to the Douluo Continent, where his new powers awakened 1 2.

Seeking a Soul Ring, he traveled to Shrek City for information about Soul Beast habitats. He provoked Ning Tian and Wu Feng at the city gate, then entered Shrek Academy without a freshman badge. There he confronted the teacher Zhou Yi, saw through her aged disguise, and withstood her Soul Emperor attack. He subsequently used the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame to erase her resistance and made her obtain a map of Mental Attribute Soul Beast habitats 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 14.

Learning that Huo Yuhao had not registered at Shrek, Xiao Dong realized he might reach the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm first. He found Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Great Forest, knocked him unconscious, and refined the silkworm before it could sacrifice itself to him. Xiao Dong later left Huo Yuhao alive and said he might help with the boy’s revenge if their paths crossed 10 11 12.

Appearance

Xiao Dong appears to be a young man with a slight-looking frame that becomes solid and steel-like after his physical transformation. He is repeatedly seen in black clothing 2 4 5.

• Eyes: Dark, with a red or crimson glint when he uses his enhanced vision or Heat Vision 4 6 18.
• Clothing: Plain black fighting clothes or a black robe 4 16.

Personality

Xiao Dong is ambitious, confrontational, and unwilling to defer to Shrek’s authority. He chooses powers he believes will cover one another’s weaknesses, and he changes plans quickly when he sees a better opportunity—as when he abandons his visit to Shrek to intercept the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. He is also selective about Soul Rings, rejecting a thirty-thousand-year Mental Attribute beast in favor of a stronger one 1 10 16.

He treats other people and Soul Beasts as resources for his advancement. He coerces Zhou Yi, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng through the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, and uses hunted beasts to strengthen his rings. His decision to spare the unconscious Huo Yuhao does not undo his theft of the silkworm intended for him 9 11 12 15 21.

Abilities and Skills

Homelander Physique

Xiao Dong’s starting physique grants extraordinary strength, durability, senses, and flight without requiring him to release his Martial Soul 2 8.

• Heat Vision: Eye beams kill the Three-Eyed Purple Spirit Lynx King and can be combined with his mental Destruction Death Ray 18 20.
• Super Vision, X-ray Vision, and hearing: Let him see through obstructions, survey distant areas, and detect people following him 2 3 14.
• Biological Force Field: An invisible defense stops Wu Feng’s punch before it reaches his chest 4 5.
• Flight: Carries him between Shrek City and the Star Dou Great Forest at tremendous speed 10 11.

Brain Martial Soul and Soul Skills

The Brain Martial Soul gives Xiao Dong accelerated thought, exceptional memory, rapid comprehension, and a vast Sea of Consciousness. Refining the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm greatly expands his mental power 2 12.

• First Soul Ring — Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: A million-year ring granting Spiritual Detection, Spiritual Sharing, Mental Interference, and Soul Shock 12.
• Second Soul Ring — Three-Eyed Purple Spirit Lynx King: Grants Destruction Death Ray, which attacks an opponent’s consciousness through spiritual defenses. He later raises the ring from eighty thousand to one hundred thousand years 18 23.
• Third Soul Ring — Seven-Tailed Illusion Crystal Fox: Its ability evolves into Mental Control when he raises the ring to one hundred thousand years. It can manipulate the thoughts and movements of targets with weaker mental cultivation, and exert force on distant objects 20 21.
• Fourth Soul Ring — Netherworld Demon-Eyed Lizard: Initially fifty thousand years old; later raised to one hundred thousand years. Its Soul Skill is not identified in the provided account 22 23.

Purifying Lotus Demon Flame

The flame fuses with Xiao Dong’s Brain Martial Soul. It destroys hostile mental power and purifies Soul Rings of lingering resentment before he absorbs them 2 3 11 18.

• Refines Soul Beast and Soul Ring essence into energy that can increase the age of his existing rings 21 23.
• Erases resistance and attachments when Xiao Dong uses it on Zhou Yi, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng; their obedience is supernaturally imposed 9 15.
• Deters Electrolux, whose consciousness retreats into Huo Yuhao rather than approach the flame 12.

Xiao Yan’s Legacy

Seals on the inheritance open as Xiao Dong advances, granting him Dou Techniques and alchemical knowledge 2 12 19 20 22.

• Early techniques: Suction Palm, Fire-Blowing Palm, and Eight Extremes Collapse. He uses the latter to destroy a boulder and later kill the Netherworld Demon-Eyed Lizard 2 22.
• Later techniques: Flame Splitting Wave Ruler, Explosive Step, Buddha’s Fury Fire Lotus, Lion-Tiger Shattering Gold Chant, Three Thousand Lightning Movement, and the first transformation of Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations 12 19 20.
• Movement: Three Thousand Lightning Movement gives him sharper turns in confined terrain than his straight-line flight. He considers Purple Cloud Wings unnecessary because he can already fly 12 22.
• Alchemy: His documented inheritance includes Tier 1, Third-Rank, and Tier 4 knowledge. He has not yet unlocked the Sixth-Grade techniques he expects after becoming a Soul King 12 19 22 23.

Ice Origin

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm leaves Xiao Dong an Ice Origin. He believes it gives him a foundation for shaping a Second Martial Soul, but no completed Second Martial Soul is shown 16.

Equipment and Items

• Ancient map of the Star Dou Great Forest: Obtained through Zhou Yi and Wang Yan; marks likely habitats of rare Mental Attribute Soul Beasts 14.
• Soul Beast remains: Collects the corpses of the Azure Flame Demon Eagle, Seven-Tailed Illusion Crystal Fox, and Three-Eyed Purple Spirit Lynx King for possible use as alchemical materials 21.

Relationships

• Zhou Yi — Shrek teacher whom Xiao Dong overpowers and subjects to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. She obtains Soul Beast information for him 8 9 10 14.
• Ning Tian — Young leader of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. After forcing her obedience with the flame, Xiao Dong orders her to use her sect’s influence to buy herbs 4 14 15.
• Wu Feng — Ning Tian’s companion. Her attack fails against Xiao Dong’s force field; he later subjects her to the flame and assigns her the herb-purchasing task alongside Ning Tian 4 5 15.
• Huo Yuhao — Xiao Dong intercepts the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm before it can sacrifice itself to Huo Yuhao, but leaves the unconscious boy alive 11 12.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm — Million-year Soul Beast refined by Xiao Dong into his First Soul Ring 11 12.
