Background / History
Transmigration
Chu Ge arrives at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest after clicking a game-ad prompt. The system announces that he died suddenly and transmigrated, then immediately grants him Titled Douluo strength. Recognizing Tang Ya and Bei Bei, he identifies the setting as the Douluo II era, approximately ten thousand years after Tang San became a god 1.
His knowledge of the original story informs his decisions, but this world quickly diverges from his expectations. Huo Yuhao is dead, his younger fraternal twin sister Huo Yudie has inherited the continent’s destiny, and Tang Wutong later appears openly as a girl rather than as Wang Dong 2 11.
Taking Huo Yudie as His Disciple
Chu Ge kills the Wind Baboon threatening Yudie while completing his first challenge. After learning of her brother’s death, he comforts her and agrees to teach her when she asks for the strength to avenge her family. He returns the money she offers and takes responsibility for her protection 2 4.
When Tian Meng appears, Chu Ge proposes that he become Yudie’s Soul Spirit. Chu Ge provides only a rough explanation of the Soul Spirit Method; Tian Meng independently understands and performs the contract. Chu Ge guards the process and seals the surroundings against the escaping aura. Yudie reaches level twenty-five and receives two million-year Soul Rings without damaging her foundations 5.
Before taking her to Shrek, Chu Ge has Yudie disguise her rings as ordinary yellow ones. He obtains a recommendation letter from Tang Ya and repays her by capturing the thousand-year Mandala Snake she needs for her third ring. He nevertheless refuses to join or lead the Tang Sect 6.
Joining Shrek Academy
Chu Ge applies for a teaching position rather than student admission, seeking system rewards and a convenient way to remain near Yudie. Zhou Yi insults him during registration; he overwhelms her with pressure until she faints. After revealing his nine rings and age to Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun, he clarifies that he wants a teaching job—not membership in the Sea God Pavilion 7 8 9.
Yan appoints him an Inner Court teacher. Mu En subsequently recognizes his Blue Silver Emperor’s supreme life attribute, triggering a hundred-thousand-year skull reward from the system 10.
On Sea God Island, Chu Ge senses an apparent call from the Golden Ancient Tree, which he identifies as the continent’s plane spirit. Contact draws him into a golden, vitality-filled space where he falls asleep. A small figure approaches him without his knowledge; afterward, his attempts to communicate with the tree fail 16 17 18.
Protecting His Disciple
When Zhou Yi again causes trouble for his disciples, Chu Ge beats her and forces her to give the approval required by his system quest. He dismisses the possibility of retaliation from her husband, Fan Yu. Yan later gives him Zhou Yi’s dismissal letter and promises that she will never be rehired 22.
Chu Ge also intervenes when Dai Huabin insults Yudie and proposes a humiliating wager. Rather than fight in her place, he encourages Yudie to accept the duel herself. Following her victory, Dai kneels and apologizes; Chu Ge warns him that further harassment could cost him an arm or a leg 28 29 34.
The wager does not end Chu Ge’s hostility toward the Dai family. He considers an opportunity to kill Dai Huabin and resolves that the others responsible for Yudie’s family’s suffering must also pay. He later arranges the sale of a compatible tiger Soul Bone, hoping the Dai family will acquire it and potentially create another challenge for Yudie 33 45 46.
Soul Tool Research and the Seven Devils
After acquiring god-level Soul Engineer talent, Chu Ge borrows Xian Lin’er’s workshop. His first creation improves her Level 6 Infinity Edge into a Level 7 weapon, astonishing both her and Fan Yu. He then uses a system blueprint to make portable dual pistols for Yudie’s self-defense 38 40 41 43.
Yan subsequently invites him to spar. Chu Ge’s Titan’s Hammer breaks the rank-95 dean’s defenses with one strike. He heals Yan’s injuries afterward and keeps the defeat discreet when Ma Xiaotao arrives 47 48.
Ma Xiaotao introduces him to the current Shrek Seven Devils. Dai Yueheng sees him as a potential political ally, while Chu Ge privately evaluates Yueheng as Yudie’s next worthwhile opponent 49 50.
Appearance
- Face: Exceptionally handsome, with sword-like brows and star-bright eyes 1.
- Apparent age: A young man in his early twenties; his youthful appearance surprises Shrek staff and students who learn his rank or teaching position 1 9 49.
- Presence: Ma Xiaotao immediately senses overwhelming strength despite their similar ages 24.
Personality
Chu Ge is confident, irreverent, and strongly protective of his independence. He jokes about the system’s absurd assessment of his strength but willingly follows its missions when the rewards are useful. He refuses Tang Ya’s offer to lead the Tang Sect and rejects the assumption that he seeks a place in Shrek’s highest leadership 1 6 9 45.
His care for Yudie extends beyond cultivation: he comforts her, buys treats she could not afford as a child, celebrates her victories, and designs weapons around her needs. He also supports her decision to avoid the Soul Tool Department rather than force her into an environment she distrusts 4 16 35 39 43.
That gentleness does not extend to people who threaten his disciple. He uses intimidation and violence against Zhou Yi, threatens Dai Huabin, and contemplates lethal retaliation. His skepticism toward Shrek persists even after joining: he regards Zhou Yi’s dismissal as an attempt to win his favor rather than proof of institutional reform 22 33 34.
Abilities & Skills
Life Comeback System
The system supplies quests, rewards, and cultivation resources while repeatedly treating Chu Ge as a weak beginner regardless of his actual rank 1 18 34.
- Grants his initial cultivation, Martial Souls, comprehension, charisma, and ring configurations 1.
- Increases Soul Ring ages and awards Soul Bones, money, engineering talent, and blueprints 2 5 7 38 43 45.
- Permits him to replace absorbed Soul Bones without losing cultivation levels 45.
- Can immediately complete an already-satisfied requirement, as with its quest to reach level eighteen 45.
Blue Silver Emperor
A life-type Martial Soul recognized by Mu En as possessing a supreme life attribute. Its aura causes Tang Ya’s Blue Silver Grass to submit, explaining part of her instinctive attraction to Chu Ge 6 10.
- Captures a thousand-year Mandala Snake with waves of Blue Silver Grass 6.
- Provides healing; Chu Ge restores Yan Shaozhe’s injuries after their spar 48.
- Possesses the following nine named Soul Skills 47:
| Soul Ring | Soul Skill |
|---|---|
| First | Endless Vitality 47 |
| Second | Blue Silver Has a Spirit 47 |
| Third | Windblown Rebirth 47 |
| Fourth | Light of Recovery 47 |
| Fifth | Blue Silver’s Blessing 47 |
| Sixth | Blue Silver Domain 47 |
| Seventh | Blue Silver Avatar 47 |
| Eighth | Heavenly Rainfall 47 |
| Ninth | Ode to Life 47 |
Clear Sky Hammer
His offensive Martial Soul manifests as a dark-gold hammer. Its Soul Skills are described as attack enhancements that stack damage 47.
- Titan’s Hammer: Shatters Yan Shaozhe’s defenses and sends him flying in a single strike 47.
- Ape God modifier: Doubles Chu Ge’s damage against monkey-, ape-, and baboon-type Soul Beasts 2.
- Combat benchmark: Overwhelms a rank-95 veteran despite Chu Ge’s lower level of ninety-three 47 48.
Soul Bone Abilities
- Mental Shock and Soul Shock: Skills granted by the Bright Wisdom Skull, adding mental-type attacks to his abilities 45.
- Endless Explosion: Raises all offensive and defensive attributes by 100% and adds a fearlessness effect to his Soul Skills 45.
Soul Engineering
God-level engineering talent works alongside his exceptional comprehension, allowing him to refine designs rather than merely reproduce them 38 40 41.
- Infinity Edge refinement: Raises the weapon from Level 6 to Level 7, increases its damage ceiling, and lowers its minimum user requirement from peak Soul King or ordinary Soul Emperor to a two-ring Soul Grandmaster 41.
- Adaptive dual pistols: Scale with the user’s cultivation and trigger extra damage when used together 43.
- Practical design: Prioritizes portability, sustainable consumption, and the intended user rather than maximum cannon-like firepower 43.
- Recorded designation: Remains system-designated Level 1; Chapter 45 assigns, but does not document completion of, a Level 2 advancement quest 41 45.
Knowledge and Mentorship
His familiarity with the original story helps him recognize people, anticipate opportunities, and identify possible dangers 1 4 48.
- Introduces Tian Meng to the Soul Spirit concept, but does not himself fully understand or execute the contract 5.
- Advises Yudie to conceal her extraordinary rings through Simulation 6.
- Recognizes that Yudie’s support skills offer him little benefit because of their cultivation gap and the burden on her soul power 6.
- Encourages Yudie to fight her own battles while guaranteeing his protection against the consequences 29.
