Power Progression

Background and History

Dai Xuanyu is a transmigrator born as Emperor Dai Heng’s youngest son. Knowing that losing princes can die in Star Luo’s succession struggle, he trains from childhood and gathers supporters despite the advantage held by his eldest brother, Dai Weisi. His Martial Soul Awakening reveals twin Martial Souls, including the legendary Evil Eyes Saint King. Dai Heng then names him Crown Prince in secret, while publicly leaving the succession contest in place to conceal Xuanyu’s talent from rival powers 1 2 3 5.

He strengthens himself with Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue before obtaining two thousand-year Soul Rings. Alongside his cultivation, he recruits Yang Wudi and the Breaking Clan, offering imperial protection, a title and a fief. Yang Wudi becomes his pharmacology teacher 9 11 15 17 21 22.

Xuanyu proposes cooperation with Heaven Dou partly to secure a reason to travel there and seek the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he poses as Dai Zhuang, a Dai-family collateral relative. His barehanded victories over Zhou Cang and later assessment opponents draw attention without exposing his Martial Soul. He reaches the final eight of the Heavenly Supreme Level assessment and seeks a place on the Heaven Dou Team 26 30 39 41 44 49 50.

Appearance

Xuanyu was born with Evil Eyes and Double Pupils, traits the imperial family associates with exceptional promise. In Martial Soul Possession, he takes on a more imposing, saint-king-like form rather than strongly bestial features 2 13.

• A golden, vertical-pupil-like mark appears on his forehead during possession 13.
• His eyes blaze with light, and an aura combining holiness and evil surrounds him 13.

Personality

Xuanyu is disciplined, politically perceptive and careful about whom he trusts. He uses secrecy, disguises and tailored offers to pursue allies and opportunities, but avoids fights he considers unnecessarily dangerous. After noticing that his new status has consumed too much of his attention, he recommits to personal strength and becoming a god as his foremost goal 1 9 17 24 38.

Abilities & Skills

Evil Eyes Saint King

His awakened Martial Soul takes the form of a winged white tiger with a golden emblem and mismatched blue-and-red double pupils. Its awakening roar reaches across Star Luo City, while its aura causes White Tiger Martial Souls to submit 3.

• Saint Evil King Body — first Soul Skill: Doubles all attributes. Light or holy surroundings grant a further boost to the corresponding attribute and an automatic Holy Light Shield; darkness or shadow grants a corresponding boost and Shadow Assassination. Otherwise, Saint-Evil Balance boosts both attributes 13.
• Unyielding Sacred Body — second Soul Skill: Enhances strength and physical and energy defenses. Its golden protection resists physical disruption and mental intrusion; it withstands a Soul Ancestor guard’s full-force attack without Xuanyu moving 15.

Evil Eyes and Double Pupils

• After awakening, Xuanyu can see with exceptional clarity and sense a distant clash’s Soul Power fluctuations from roughly a hundred li away 24.
• His eyes give him a photographic memory 41.

Second Martial Soul
