Background / History

Qi Wu originally lived in an ordinary modern world. He suffered from ALS and died before turning fifteen; anime and movies were his principal hobbies. He subsequently transmigrated into the world of superhumans, allowing him to recognize Satoru Gojo when the card appeared 1.

In his first life in the Great Xia Empire, Qi Wu possessed Weapon Soul Battle Body and joined the military after graduation. His childhood affection for Feng Yuyao had led him to bring her meals for years, but she later dated a prominent family’s son and stopped contacting him. By the time they fought in the Demon invasion as adults, Qi Wu no longer had romantic feelings for her 1 4.

His final battle began when he remained behind to cover a routed force’s retreat. Surrounded by more than a hundred Demons, he prepared to detonate his spiritual power. A mysterious voice questioned his sacrifice, citing Feng Yuyao’s departure with her injured lover; Qi Wu insisted that he was protecting humanity, not her. The voice offered him another chance, and black lightning reduced him and the surrounding Demons to ash 1.

He awakened in his school classroom twenty years earlier. Remembering the coming spiritual-energy resurgence, the Demon offensive three years later, and the eventual fall of the empire’s eighteen defensive lines, he resolved to prevent his homeland’s destruction. His new Villain Card ability offered a route to power beyond what he had previously possessed 1.

Appearance

• Before fusion: Handsome, with black hair and blue eyes 1.
• After fusion: Silver-white hair, vivid azure eyes, and a tall, slender build repeatedly compared to a manga character 2 4 5.
• Eye coverings: Initially uses a curtain-strip blindfold, then purchases sunglasses to reduce Six Eyes’ strain 2 4.
• Changed bearing: His confident demeanor and altered appearance make him unrecognizable to classmate Li Ruoxue during their shopping-street encounter 4.
• Visible spatial effects: Limitless suspends or diverts approaching raindrops around him, drawing public attention 4 5.

Personality

Qi Wu approaches his second chance with an adult soldier’s priorities. He rejects his former habit of pleasing Feng Yuyao and separates personal disappointment from his duty to humanity. His decision to join the Bureau is calculated: he needs organizational standing to reach the Abyssal Grand Prison and obtain another card 1 4.

He is playful, irreverent, and deliberately provocative. Because admiration and irritation strengthen his fusion, he turns public demonstrations, insults, and even embarrassing jokes into useful opportunities. His casual manner does not preclude preparation: he practices unfamiliar techniques and adjusts his tactics against dangerous equipment 2 11 28 29.

As a captain, he combines demanding training with reassurance. He praises Jiang Qingyue’s tactical improvement after defeating her, explains the difference between poor performance and a simple power gap, and gives both teammates specific advice rather than merely telling them to become stronger 19 27 50.

His restraint depends heavily on whom he faces. He stops Red short of killing Blade of Gale in a spar, but strikes Feng Yuyao after she attempts to surrender. Against human traitors, he becomes exceptionally ruthless, claiming to have inflicted a century’s worth of torture memories on the Blood Knife Team before killing them 8 30 38.

Abilities & Skills

Villain Card

A lottery-based ability that grants character cards and integrates their powers into Qi Wu. Its pale-gold panel is beyond the red panel associated with known S-rank abilities 1.

• The first draw is free and produces the Satoru Gojo card 1.
• Popularity and irritation increase fusion progress and unlock additional techniques 2 3 27.
• Admiration, fear, frustration, and embarrassment can all supply points 12 23 33.
• His own annoyance generates points after his failed potion-and-milk-tea experiment 24.
• The next card’s acquisition location is the Abyssal Grand Prison; no second card is obtained in the supplied chapters 4 50.

Six Eyes

An ocular power that gives Qi Wu highly detailed perception of energy and his surroundings 2 3.

• Detects distant Demon energy and identifies Jiang Qingyue through his blindfold 2 3.
• Lets him assess Jiang Qingyue’s absorption of an enhancement potion 25.
• Initially causes information overload and substantial energy drain, requiring a blindfold or sunglasses 2 6.
• Is publicly understood at school as a rare second ocular ability 5 6.

Limitless

Manipulates the distance between Qi Wu and approaching objects, slowing them until they cannot reach him 2 12.

• Stops corrosive acid, physical punches, phoenix flames, weapon strikes, and moonlight arrows 3 6 7 12 35.
• Gains automatic activation at 60% fusion, blocking attacks without conscious direction 34 35.
• Can be deliberately disabled for training or demonstrations of his physical skill 16 26 50.
• Blade of Gale expects her magic-dispelling Demon-Slaying Blade to breach it. Qi Wu avoids testing that possibility and counters through evasion and Blue instead 29.

Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue

Produces powerful attraction and gravitational compression, usable as a concentrated blast or controlled pulling field 2 8 33.

• Blasts a ten-meter-wide hole through an abandoned building during his first test 2.
• Kills the fifth-tier Gluttony Lord and destroys Feng Yuyao’s golden phoenix 3 8.

• Pulls groups of Demon Wolves together and crushes them 33 34.
• Maximum Output destroys Jiang Qingyue’s sand golems and forces Yellow Weasel back into her sealed cage 26.

Reverse Cursed Technique

A healing technique unlocked at 25% fusion. Qi Wu’s version can heal other people 3.

• Completely heals Jiang Qingyue’s injuries after the Gluttony Lord battle 3.
• Suppresses the demonic energy spreading from her uncontrolled curse mark 3.
• Is distinct from Cursed Technique Reversal: Red, which is an offensive repulsion technique 3 27.

Ultra-High-Speed Movement and Teleportation

His Teleportation compresses the distance between two points rather than truly crossing space. It is an advanced form of high-speed movement 10.

• Allows rapid repositioning and transporting Jiang Qingyue while carrying her 19 20 29.
• Can turn his body into a kinetic projectile; he kills a Shadow Lizard by colliding with it 10.
• Obstacles interrupt movement, and inaccurate targeting can cause collisions or poor landings 10.
• Requires practice despite being unlocked through fusion 9 10.

Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void

Encloses targets in a domain that overwhelms their consciousness with information 14 23 38.

• A 0.2-second expansion forces half a year’s worth of useless information into Hu Yan’s mind and incapacitates him 14.
• Renders Yellow Weasel unconscious, enabling Jiang Qingyue to capture it 23.
• Expands across an entire island during his confrontation with the Blood Knife Team and the Goddess of Night’s projection 38.
• Can destroy consciousness; Qi Wu also claims to have imposed a century’s worth of torture memories on the traitors 38.
• The goddess’s projection recognizes its “void” nature before Qi Wu destroys her 38.

Cursed Technique Reversal: Red

An explosive repulsive-force technique opposite to Blue, unlocked at 50% fusion 27.

• Initially difficult to control; simulation training lets him focus it into a precise beam 28.
• Threatens Blade of Gale at point-blank range, but Qi Wu halts the strike before contact 30.
• Kills Wolf Kings and carves large trenches through wolf packs and the beast tide 33 40.
• Can be used in alternating combination with Blue’s attraction 36.
• Iron Buddha judges the finishing technique against Gale capable of threatening a tier-eight fighter 30.

Combat, Foresight, and Instruction

• Hand-to-hand combat: Uses precisely controlled cursed-energy reinforcement to defeat Lin Yao, catch Haymaker’s attack one-handed, and disarm Blade of Gale 6 7 17 29.
• Future knowledge: Recognizes Jiang Qingyue’s potential, understands her Demon God Curse Mark, and possesses knowledge of future divine ruins 18 23 35.
• Strategic warning: Predicts a new spiritual-energy tide within two months, publicly attributing the prediction to unusual energy sensitivity 47.
• Mentorship: Teaches energy conservation, weak-point targeting, battlefield control, prediction, patience, and team coordination 19 50.

Relationships

• Feng Yuyao — Childhood friend, former deskmate, and former crush. Qi Wu ends his meal-bringing routine after rebirth; she subsequently treats him as a rival and shows jealousy over other women’s interest in him. He repeatedly states that he has lost romantic interest in her 1 16 47.
