Background / History
Lu Xuan accidentally transmigrated to the Douluo Continent twenty years before his introduction. Despite awakening with only level-4 innate soul power, he developed his Blue Silver Grass into a life-oriented support martial soul and reached level 44. Before obtaining his system, he intended to cultivate quietly and use his knowledge of the original story to secure immortal herbs and other resources 1 10.
He had taught at Nuoding Academy for four or five years when Tang San arrived to register. Recognizing Tang San’s future divine backing, Lu Xuan initially wanted to become his teacher as a means of improving his own prospects. The system’s activation during his recruitment dispute with Yu Xiaogang abruptly removed his dependence on Tang San’s future success 1 2 4.
System and Missions
Lu Xuan’s system assigns missions modeled on Xuan Zi’s history, including disastrous soul-hunting expeditions. Its rewards rapidly transform his cultivation, but its main objective requires him to harm his own future disciples 1 3.
| Mission | Requirements | Reward / Consequence | Documented Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recruit the future Shrek Seven Devils | Within ten years, cause one student to die and two to be crippled | Success: self-created godhood. Failure: erasure | Still an ongoing objective in the provided chapters 1 7. |
| Recruit Tang San | Take Tang San as a disciple | Second martial soul: Yazi | Completed when Tang San formally accepts him as teacher 3. |
| Recruit Xiao Wu | Take Xiao Wu as a disciple | God-Given Soul Ring; hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit Left Arm Bone | Completed after bringing Xiao Wu to his residence 4 5. |
| Obtain Tang San’s first soul ring | Tang San must hunt alone, suffer a devastating price, and absorb a ring over 400 years old; assistance and ring-selection advice are prohibited | Adds 5,000 years to every soul ring | The system accepts Tang San’s ring, described as a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake ring, and issues the reward 3 11. |
Appearance
- Normal appearance: Handsome, fair-faced young man with clear deep-blue eyes and a gentle, scholarly bearing 1 3 4.
- Clothing and hair: Wears fitted blue clothes and keeps his hair in a high ponytail; townspeople note that he is consistently neatly dressed 1 2.
- Yazi possession: Develops two golden dragon horns, black sclera surrounding blue pupils, and three fine black-and-gold markings on each cheek 6.
- Combat aura: Blue-gold soul power acquires a savage, blood-red component when Yazi manifests 6 14.
Personality
Lu Xuan is courteous toward familiar colleagues and ordinary students. Even after becoming a Peerless Douluo, he asks Mo Hen to address him as before, helps the academy’s students obtain suitable rings, and encourages them to repay his assistance by helping others rather than becoming indebted to him 9 10.
His treatment of Tang San is far more calculated. He regards their relationship as a transaction, expects eventual betrayal, and uses encouraging lessons about independence to make Tang San accept the dangerous conditions of a system mission. Tang San’s suffering does not disturb him, although he subsequently heals him completely 3 8 9 11.
Lu Xuan enjoys public displays of strength despite professing a preference for a quiet life. He answers threats with disproportionate physical punishment and refuses to let family connections or sect prestige shield his opponents. Yazi’s combative nature further intensifies his aggression during possession 2 6 22.
He shows clear favoritism toward Xiao Wu through protection, resources, and daily companionship. When she questions his colder treatment of Tang San, he claims to treat everyone equally, then says he is especially kind to her because she is cute 7 16 20.
Abilities & Skills
Blue Silver Emperor
His original Blue Silver Grass evolves into a Blue Silver Emperor with an ultimate life attribute. Its abilities primarily support cultivation, recovery, and endurance, while its ninth ring supplies offensive and enhancement-removing skills 1 7 13 22.
- Releases life energy that strengthens Ah Yin’s true body before she loses her emperor bloodline 17 18.
- Its manifestation strips Ah Yin of her remaining Blue Silver Emperor bloodline; the event is presented as evidence that the clan has selected a new emperor 18.
- Combines the Blue Silver Domain with spiritual perception to locate Tang San in the Soul Hunting Forest 10.
First Soul Skill: Soul Power Tide
Accelerates cultivation through blue-gold ripples emitted by the Blue Silver Emperor 7.
- Gives Xiao Wu three times normal cultivation speed 7.
- Can be left with her while Lu Xuan goes out, allowing her to continue cultivating at home 16.
- Develops from the lone-bamboo first ring whose cultivation benefits helped him reach level 44 despite modest innate aptitude 10.
Second Soul Skill: Life Tide
A healing skill originating from an Emerald Swan ring. After the ring-age reward, it repairs Tang San’s catastrophic injuries in approximately ten seconds 11.
- Realigns and heals broken bones, restores flesh, and regenerates a severed lower limb 11.
- Returns Tang San to peak condition after his soul hunt 11.
- Cannot reliably be reproduced simply by absorbing the same species of soul beast; Lu Xuan explains that soul-skill generation is inherently variable 11.
Ninth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Imperial Emperor Sword

Yazi Martial Soul
A complete dragon-bloodline beast martial soul awarded for recruiting Tang San. Lu Xuan associates Yazi with fierce combat and the strongest fighting ability among the dragon’s nine sons 3 6.
- Martial Soul Possession: Transforms his body and releases a slaughter aura capable of scattering Tang Hao’s Divine Slaughter’s Domain 6.
- First Soul Skill — Yazi’s Wrath: Used with the Blue Silver Imperial Emperor Sword during the attack that overwhelms Chen Xin; its precise numerical effects are not specified 14.
- Behavioral influence: Makes Lu Xuan more domineering and merciless than his usual easygoing self 6.
Simultaneous Martial Soul Use
Lu Xuan can wield the Blue Silver Emperor while possessed by Yazi, combining support and endurance with offensive power 6 7.
- Allows him to draw on both martial souls’ skill sets in combat 7.
- He tells Tang San this works because one soul is a tool type and the other a beast type 20.
- Privately, he believes the system enables this exception; his explanation to Tang San is an invented justification rather than a confirmed general rule 20.

| Soul Bone | Skill | Documented Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit Left Arm Bone | Invincible Golden Body | Identified as a life-saving ability; detailed limits are not given 5 19. |

- Xiao Wu — Disciple and live-in maid whom he spares despite recognizing her soul-beast identity. He supplies cultivation advantages and promises protection, while she becomes increasingly attached to him 5 7 12 16.

- Ning Fengzhi — Sect leader seeking to recruit or befriend him. Lu Xuan rejects a Guest Elder position and recognizes the calculations behind Ning’s gifts and proposed spar 13 14 15.
- Chen Xin — Sparring opponent defeated within seconds. Afterwards, Chen Xin warns that even the sect’s combined strength cannot match Lu Xuan 14 15.
- Ah Yin — Initially a prospective rescue target. Their encounter turns hostile over her defense of Tang Hao; Lu Xuan destroys her true body and retrieves the soul bone 17 18.
