Power Progression

Background / History

Chen Jie leaves the modern world after a choking accident and awakens as an orphan in Grandmaster Village. A year after his transmigration, at twelve years old, he undergoes his martial soul awakening. Song Yuntao dismisses the resulting tattoo as a useless martial soul, but Chen Jie discovers that it is Forced Contract and that its awakening activates his system 1 2.

His first target is Jiang Nannan, whom he recognizes from the original story as a future member of the Shrek Seven Devils. He contracts her while she is gathering firewood near her impoverished village. Six years later, he has also contracted Xiao Xiao and reached level thirty, with access to both women’s martial souls 2 3.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, Chen Jie helps Bei Bei and Tang Ya subdue a Mandala Snake, then secretly intervenes in Tian Meng’s sacrifice to Huo Yuhao. His Fortune-Stealing Die brings Electrolux into the encounter, leading to the destruction of Tian Meng, Electrolux, and Huo Yuhao. Chen Jie receives the surviving power and inheritance, conceals his involvement, and joins the Tang Sect to obtain its Shrek Academy recommendation 3 4.

At Shrek, he defeats Wang Dong in a dormitory dispute, reunites with Jiang Nannan, and becomes Class Seven’s monitor. He strengthens Tang Ya’s cultivation and evolves her martial soul while supporting her goal of reviving the Tang Sect. After winning a class assessment with the Lan sisters, he obtains two and a half months of leave and accepts Mu Jin’s challenge to win the Freshman Competition 7 10 11 15 16 17.

During his journey to the Far North, Chen Jie uses his Sea God inheritance and contract abilities to acquire the Ice Empress and Snow Empress as soul spirits. He helps the Ice Empress reach four hundred thousand years of cultivation and the Snow Empress break through the seven-hundred-thousand-year barrier. Returning to Shrek, he defeats and cripples Xu Sanshi, then brings Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, Jiang Nannan, and Tang Ya together as the latter recruits three new Tang Sect members 19 20 21 22 23 25 26.

His Ultimate Ice draws Yan Shaozhe’s attention and leads to his treatment of Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire. He subsequently negotiates with Ning Tian over an immortal herb and chooses Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo as his Freshman Assessment teammates. Their preparations include sparring, breaking the sisters’ Heavenly Net, and planning how to conserve soul power and coordinate their fusion skill 30 31 32 37 45 46 49.

Appearance

• Forehead tattoo: His original martial soul manifests as an apparently ordinary mark between his brows; it warms and glimmers when he activates Forced Contract 2.
• Physique: Described as well-proportioned and powerful. His first contract enhances his muscles, bones, endurance, and flexibility 2 28.
• General impression: Tang Ya considers him handsome, powerful, and exceptionally promising 3.
• Ice martial soul manifestation: Activating the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion produces jade-green cold and a translucent scorpion tail behind him 31.

Personality

Chen Jie is calculating and opportunity-driven. His knowledge of the original story guides his selection of contract targets and his theft of Huo Yuhao’s destined inheritance. He routinely hides his intentions behind a polite, harmless manner, including concealing his role in Huo Yuhao’s death and pretending that Mu Jin’s discovery of his unusual soul ring surprises him 2 3 4 6 16.

His relationships are marked by possessiveness and coercion. He uses contracts that erode resistance and manufacture affection, suppresses the Ice Empress’s power after securing her trust, and exploits the Snow Empress’s concern for Bing’er to obtain compliance. His support for others’ cultivation frequently accompanies attempts to make them dependent on him 1 5 20 22 37.

He nevertheless shows attachment to particular companions, resolving to prevent Jiang Nannan’s remembered suffering and responding warmly to Xiao Xiao’s reunion and Wang Dong’s distress. His ruthlessness is tempered by practical caution: he stops his soul spirits from attacking at Shrek because exposing their ferocious-beast auras would attract dangerous attention 7 17 26 28.
