Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Martial Soul awakening — innate full soul power | 1 | Awakens a Soft Bone Rabbit rather than the Blue Silver Grass he expected from his Tang Wulin Template. Possesses the Golden Dragon King bloodline with eighteen seals. |
| First Golden Dragon King seal broken; Ice and Fire Golden Body tempering | 4 5 | Consumes hundred-year Ice Crystal and flame fruits mixed with ten drops of heart’s blood from a Hundred-Year Golden Earth Dragon. Survives severe heat, cold, and internal pain; gains Soul Elder-comparable physical strength and access to the Golden Dragon Claw. |
| First soul ring acquired — level-eleven Soul Master | 8 9 | Receives Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s sacrifice: a red ring with nine golden markings, derived from 900,000 years of cultivation. Sky Dream seals its power to make absorption survivable; Meng Chen’s Golden Dragon King bloodline devours his soul origin. Level eleven is subsequently confirmed by Bibi Dong. |
| First seal stabilized | 14 | Consolidates the first seal’s release and senses the second beginning to loosen. Recognizes that further body strengthening is necessary before another breakthrough. |
- Second seal remains unbroken: Meng Chen obtains three of its four required thousand-year ingredients, but the Sea Dragon Marrow is lost in a caravan attack. He postpones the breakthrough rather than use an incomplete formula 18.
- Physical strength is not cultivation rank: He can contend physically with an ordinary Power Attack System Soul Elder, but his reported soul-power level remains eleven 18 21.
Background / History
Meng Chen transmigrated to the Douluo Continent after being struck by a golden Dayun truck. His Tang Wulin Template supplied the Golden Dragon King, Sea God, Asura God, Blue Silver Emperor, Soft Bone Rabbit, and human bloodlines, with the Golden Dragon King bloodline dominant. He also inherited the Goddess of Life’s Blessing, but did not carry Tang San’s divine consciousness 1.
Qian Renxue’s investigation identified him as an orphan from a small village outside Heaven Dou City. Both parents were dead, and villagers had provided his meals. Spirit Hall had already invited him to join, and its local Soul Masters would likely have escorted him to Spirit City had Qian Renxue not taken him in first 2.
While sitting outside the Heaven Dou Sacred Hall, Meng Chen met Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and recognized him as Qian Renxue in disguise. He exaggerated his sadness to gain sympathy and accepted her offer to become her younger brother, valuing both her character and her access to imperial and Spirit Hall resources. She settled him in a courtyard beside her own and arranged attendants and an academy admission place 1 2.
Appearance
Meng Chen is a fair-skinned, black-haired child with handsome features and conspicuous golden rabbit ears 1 2 15.
- Golden rabbit ears: Long, fluffy, and highly sensitive. Touching them causes strong bodily sensations; Ning Rongrong’s handling leaves him blushing and weakened 1 17.
- Increasingly persistent manifestation: His Golden Dragon King bloodline makes the ears harder to conceal as he grows stronger 14.
- Hair: Slightly long; Hongyu styles it into a short, thin scorpion-tail braid 2.
- Early household clothing: A predominantly white outfit with gold embroidery at the collar and cuffs and a pale-purple tulip on the left breast 2.
- Power manifestations: His eyes turn gold while resisting spiritual intrusion and golden-pink during Spiritual Charm; the Golden Dragon Claw covers his right arm in golden scales 5 7 10.
Personality
Meng Chen combines a child’s outward sweetness with a transmigrator’s calculation. He readily performs innocence or distress when it helps secure protection, and conceals his cultivation secrets through invented explanations. He attributes his first tempering recipe to an old man and tells Qian Renxue that he obtained his extraordinary ring by killing a dying worm 1 5 13.
He strongly values personal autonomy. Bibi Dong’s status and promises do not persuade him to accept her as a teacher, especially after she examines him without permission. He likewise objects to being treated as a toy because of his rabbit ears. When resistance becomes futile, however, he can stop fighting and wait for help rather than waste his strength 9 11 17.
His ambition is driven by self-preservation and loyalty to Qian Renxue. Although his first body-tempering attempt is reckless, he later refuses to break the second seal without its complete medicinal formula. His compassion also extends beyond his protector: he advocates for his punished maids, rescues an unidentified wounded woman, and shields Ning Rongrong from injury despite her harassment 5 8 17 18.
Abilities & Skills
Tang Wulin Template
The template supplies Meng Chen’s inherited bloodlines, sealed Golden Dragon King power, and knowledge used to prepare his breakthroughs 1 3 14.
- Inherited bloodlines: Golden Dragon King, Sea God, Asura God, Blue Silver Emperor, Soft Bone Rabbit, and humanity 1.
- Dominant bloodline: Golden Dragon King, initially restrained by eighteen seals 1.
- Seal-release risk: The second seal’s stronger blood-energy surge could damage his meridians unless his body is sufficiently fortified 14.
- No Tang San consciousness: Unlike the template’s source character, Meng Chen has no Tang San divine consciousness within him 1.
Mutated Soft Bone Rabbit
Meng Chen’s Martial Soul manifests golden rabbit ears and, when fully displayed, a golden rabbit figure with a faint draconic aura 10 13.
- He identifies himself as a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master, surprising classmates who hear that classification paired with a rabbit Martial Soul 21.
- He regards the Soft Bone Rabbit as less than top-tier and seeks a stronger first ring to compensate through soul skills 5.
- The ears are physically sensitive and vulnerable to unwanted handling 1 17.
Golden Dragon King Bloodline and Dragon Might
His dominant bloodline provides exceptional blood energy and a suppressive draconic presence 1 15.
- A small release of dragon might makes Dugu Yan’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul tremble uncontrollably 15.
- It can exert suppression or amplification on dragons and beings carrying dragon blood 5.
- It reacts defensively to Sky Dream’s entry into his Sea of Consciousness, manifesting a dragon silhouette and devouring the silkworm’s soul origin 8.
- It resonates with Gu Yuena’s Silver Dragon King bloodline because both originate from the Dragon God 22.
Golden Dragon Claw
Unlocked after breaking the first seal, this ability coats Meng Chen’s right arm in golden dragon scales 5.
- Strength enhancement: He senses his strength increase to at least twice its untransformed level 5.
- Defense enhancement: The scales substantially improve his arm’s defense 5.
- “Shatter” trait: Gives the claw powerful crushing capability 5.
- Testing restraint: He dismisses it without striking anything indoors to avoid damage that would expose his secret 5.
Ice and Fire Golden Body
His first medicinal treatment strengthens his physique enough to rival a Soul Elder without raising his soul-power rank to that realm 5.
- Demonstrated strength: Lifts and throws a boulder he estimates at eight or nine hundred kilograms, breaking several trees 6.
- Endurance: Keeps pace with his escorts during their escape through the forest 7.
- Medical examination: Porcupinefish Douluo finds no internal damage after the treatment, despite the strain being dangerous for a child 5.
Goddess of Life’s Blessing
The blessing grants extraordinary vitality and an unusually strong capacity for self-healing 1.
- His vigorous blood energy and resilient physique repeatedly surprise experienced Soul Masters, including Bibi Dong and Ye Cixin 10 15.
- It does not remove the need to prepare his body for further seal releases 14.
Spiritual Charm
Meng Chen’s first soul skill combines the rabbit Martial Soul’s charm with the power of Sky Dream’s 900,000-year ring 10.
- Its control strength is described as beyond a Soul King’s ability to withstand 10.
- Against Bibi Dong, it soothes her Rakshasa-eroded spiritual sea instead of incapacitating her 10.
- The resulting maternal affection defeats his escape attempt: she carries him away rather than releasing him 10.
- His continued proximity subsequently brings Bibi Dong relief from the Rakshasa influence troubling her consciousness 11.
Spiritual Mimicry
One of the three skills supplied by Sky Dream’s ring, Spiritual Mimicry conceals the ring’s true appearance 10.
- Disguises the red ring as a thousand-year purple ring 10.
- Successfully deceives both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who still find a purple first ring astonishing 10 13.
Spiritual Resistance
Meng Chen initially resists the spiritual force that renders his Soul Emperor escorts unconscious 7.
- Sky Dream considers his spiritual power weak in quantity but exceptionally high in quality—even higher than his own 7.
- This resistance is not absolute: Sky Dream subsequently knocks him unconscious before beginning the sacrifice 8.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Gold Soul Card — Given by Qian Renxue with 10,000 Gold Soul Coins; funds his first medicinal purchases. Each hundred-year fruit costs 3,000 coins 3.
- Storage Soul Tool — A gift from Qian Renxue, used to store Sky Dream’s shed skin and later his medicinal ingredients 8 18.
- Sky Dream’s shed skin — A thin, golden-white material with a jade-like surface and faint chill; retained after the sacrifice 8.
- Healing potion — Made by a support-type Soul Master; used to treat the injured woman later identified as Bibi Dong 8 9.
- Beast-repelling powder — Sprinkled at the stone chamber’s entrance while sheltering from the beast tide; supposedly made from a powerful soul beast’s droppings 8.
- Imperial medicinal treasures — Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Ginseng, Seven-Treasure Clear Ganoderma, and Warm Jade Marrow Milk, supplied by Qian Renxue after his captivity 13.
- Second-seal ingredients — Thousand-year Dragon Scale Fruit, Blue Vein Vine, and Earth Dragon Tendon are purchased and stored. The required thousand-year Sea Dragon Marrow remains missing 15 18.
Relationships
- Qian Renxue / Xue Qinghe — Adoptive elder sister and public sworn elder brother, addressed as “Brother Xue.” She provides his home, resources, protection, and education; he knows her concealed identity and wants to become strong enough to protect her 1 5 16 19.
- Qingdai and Hongyu — His attendants. They help obtain his first tempering supplies, are punished after his dangerous experiment, and retain their positions because he intervenes on their behalf 2 3 5.
- Ye Cixin — Apothecary owner and medicinal supplier. She questions his dangerous prescriptions, recognizes his unusual constitution, and arranges rare ingredients for his next breakthrough 3 15 18.
- Sky Dream Ice Silkworm — Source of his first soul ring. Attempts to make Meng Chen his host without securing consent; his soul origin is consumed by the Golden Dragon King bloodline 7 8.
- Bibi Dong — Rescued stranger turned would-be teacher and captor. His charm and presence soothe her spiritual anguish, but he rejects her recruitment and possessive care 8 9 10 11 12.
- Qian Daoliu — Secures his release by overriding Bibi Dong and supporting Qian Renxue’s claim that he belongs with her 12.
- Dugu Yan — An enthusiastic older acquaintance who teases him and invites him to Dugu Manor. His dragon might suppresses her serpent Martial Soul 14 15.
- Ye Lingling — Meets him at her mother’s apothecary; is amused by his appearance and surprised by his medicinal requests 14 15.
- Ning Fengzhi — Influential family acquaintance. Develops a favorable impression after witnessing Meng Chen protect Ning Rongrong 16 17.
- Ning Rongrong — Persistent companion and academy seatmate. He saves her from a fall, but resents her repeated attempts to handle his ears; she becomes jealous of his interest in Gu Yuena 17 19 21 22.
- Gu Yuena — Classmate and Silver Dragon King. Their bloodlines resonate, drawing her to Heaven Dou City and prompting mutual interest; he knows her true identity and intervenes when Rongrong provokes her 21 22.
- Mo Lei — His academy homeroom teacher, astonished by his age, cultivation level, and unusual Martial Soul classification 21.
Story Role / Major Arcs
First Soul Hunt
After his first seal release, Meng Chen asks to hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest rather than a managed forest, seeking a ring powerful enough to offset his Martial Soul’s limitations. He convinces his doubtful Soul Emperor escorts with a display of physical strength, but a beast tide interrupts the search. During their retreat, Sky Dream incapacitates the escorts and selects Meng Chen as his host 5 6 7.
The forced sacrifice gives Meng Chen his first ring but destroys Sky Dream’s soul origin. Waking alone in a hidden stone chamber, Meng Chen stores the shed skin and shelters from the continuing beast tide. He then rescues a wounded black-robed woman nearby 8.
Captivity in Spirit City
The rescued woman reveals herself as Bibi Dong and offers Meng Chen discipleship and the prospect of becoming Spirit Hall’s Holy Son. He refuses. Invoking Xue Qinghe’s protection makes her more determined to take him, and his attempted charm-based escape instead awakens her maternal attachment 9 10.
Bibi Dong confines him behind a soul-power barrier in her bedroom. Unable to break it, he waits for Qian Renxue, who ultimately retrieves him with Qian Daoliu’s intervention. Back home, he conceals the true origin and age of his first ring while displaying its purple disguise 11 12 13.
Second-Seal Preparations and Noble Connections
Meng Chen secretly seeks stronger medicines for the loosening second seal and meets Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling at the apothecary. Qian Renxue sees his connection to Dugu Yan as a possible route to her grandfather, Dugu Bo 14 15 16.
During Ning Fengzhi’s visit, Meng Chen protects Ning Rongrong from falling onto a sharp rock. The rescue earns her father’s respect but encourages Rongrong to visit repeatedly. Meanwhile, the loss of Sea Dragon Marrow forces Meng Chen to delay his next breakthrough 17 18 19.
Academy and Silver Dragon King Encounter
Meng Chen welcomes academy enrollment as a chance to escape Rongrong’s relentless attention, only for her to follow him there. Their class also includes Gu Yuena, whose identity immediately shocks him 19 21.
When Rongrong confronts Gu Yuena over his attention, Meng Chen intervenes because he understands the danger posed by the Silver Dragon King. Their close proximity confirms the bloodline resonance that brought Gu Yuena to Heaven Dou City 22.
