Background / History

Holy Soul Village and Nuoding Academy

Old Jack raised Lin Xiao in Holy Soul Village. During his awakening, Su Yuntao dismissed Gungnir’s sealed wooden-stick form as a useless martial soul despite Lin Xiao’s innate full soul power. Old Jack nevertheless encouraged him to attend Nuoding City’s Junior Academy using one of the village’s recommendation letters 1 14.

His Choose Three from Five Super Support System activated when his soul fusion was confirmed complete. Drawing on his previous-life knowledge of the original story, he selected rewards that supplied both exceptional talent and immediate protection. His first Dao Protector was the system-modified, absolutely loyal Xuan Zi, whom he promptly ordered to punish Tang Hao 1.

At Nuoding Academy, Lin Xiao defeated Xiao Wu and Tang San to become Dorm Seven’s head. That night, he had Xuan Zi take him and Xiao Wu to the Star Dou Great Forest. Although he explicitly rejected using Xiao Wu as his first soul ring, he initially frightened and coerced her into guiding him to Da Ming and Er Ming 2 3.

Soul Beast Inheritances and Recruitment

At the Lake of Life, Lin Xiao’s Child of Nature aura attracted the attention of Bi Ji and the Myriad Demon King. The latter supplied an Emerald Sword Bamboo willing to sacrifice itself as his first ring. Lin Xiao left Xiao Wu in the forest to cultivate and continued to the Sunset Forest with Xuan Zi 3 4.

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he gained Dugu Bo’s allegiance, tempered his body, and sought the remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. After passing their test, he accepted their inheritance and agreed to house their remaining souls in his Sea of Consciousness. Zhang Lexuan subsequently arrived as his second system-summoned Dao Protector, and he placed her in charge of his developing faction 5 6 7.

His northern journey brought him into negotiations with the Shui Family and then the rulers of the Far North. He offered the Snow Empress and Ice Empress Thousand-Night Ice Soul Flowers in exchange for their support as faction elders. The system’s ice-blue bead proved connected to the Ice God; Lin Xiao obtained her divine seat and offered the Snow Empress a route toward godhood 8 9 11 12 13.

Six Years of Cultivation

Lin Xiao spent the following years cultivating around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, with morning cultivation and afternoon sparring against the Ice Empress among his routines. He planned to establish the Spirit Pagoda publicly six years later, using Soul Spirit technology to balance the interests of humans and soul beasts 14.

By the end of that period, he had reached level 59. The Spirit Pagoda possessed Soul Spirit technology, artificial soul-bone manufacturing knowledge, and system-provided facilities concealed behind the appearance of a dilapidated village 15.

Appearance

• Unusually tall as a child: Reached 150 centimeters after awakening his martial soul, making him noticeably taller than the other newly awakened six-year-olds 2.
• Handsome, fresh-faced appearance: His appearance and bearing improved further after absorbing an immortal herb 8.
• Child of Nature aura: A faint blue-green light surrounds him when its influence is apparent 11.
• Truth-Piercing Eye: An external soul bone manifests over his left eye following the Heavenfrost Jade Qilin’s sacrifice 32.

Personality

Lin Xiao is calculating, irreverent, and openly hostile toward Tang San, Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang. His dislike predates his transmigration, and he uses both foreknowledge and powerful subordinates to undermine them. He deliberately leaves Tang San alive because he prefers prolonging their rivalry rather than ending it immediately 1 15.

He mixes recruitment with intimidation. When approaching the Shui Family, he offers valuable cultivation resources while having Xuan Zi reveal his Peerless Douluo aura. Conversely, he recognizes merits in opponents: he considers Shrek’s teachers broadly responsible and respects Zhao Wuji’s willingness to protect students 9 15.

His gratitude toward Old Jack and the soul beasts shapes his faction’s purpose. He refuses to forget either side’s assistance and views Soul Spirits as a way for humans and soul beasts to become genuine partners 14 15.

Lin Xiao also acknowledges his laziness. He delegates most organizational work to Zhang Lexuan and creates administrative structures that let him remain largely hands-off. Despite occasionally resolving to cultivate harder, he often chooses comfort and companionship instead 26 34.

Abilities & Skills

Choose Three from Five Super Support System

The system offers five rewards at a time, from which Lin Xiao selects three. Its confirmed rewards include supernatural status, martial souls, loyal Dao Protectors, storage equipment, and faction resources 1 7 15.

• Beginner selection: Child of Nature, Xuan Zi, and Gungnir 1.
• Second selection: The ice-blue bead, Zhang Lexuan, and a 500-cubic-meter Storage Ring 7.
• Protector safeguards: Xuan Zi is modified to remain vigilant despite his drinking and eating habits; summoned protectors can sense Lin Xiao’s approximate location 1 14.
• Faction mission: After the sect’s establishment, the system tasks him with assembling a seven-person team and winning the National Advanced Soul Master Tournament 20.

Child of Nature

This status makes Lin Xiao the Douluo Plane’s favored child and gives him a powerful aura of life and fate that soul beasts recognize 1 3 4 11.

• Enhances his physical strength enough that Xiao Wu cannot move him with her scissor hold during their first fight 2.
• Makes native soul beasts regard him as exceptionally important, helping him secure sacrifices, inheritances, and alliances 4 10.
• Stops the Ice Empress’s initial attack when activated 10.
• Strongly attracts the Snow Empress and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion 11 47.
• Limit: It does not make every soul beast obedient. Dragon Race members retain the ability to challenge him, and Xiong Jun remains openly hostile 10 47.

Gungnir

Gungnir is a god-level martial soul with a sealed wooden-stick appearance. Its first ring reveals a form described as a branch of the World Tree. As a divine artifact, it possesses a passive guarantee that its attacks do not miss 1 4.

Soul Ring	Skill	Effect and Limits
First	Pierce	Provides guaranteed penetration. At level 20, it breaches a shield formed from thirty percent of Xuan Zi’s level-98 strength and strikes his palm, but the soul-power disparity prevents a decisive injury 4 15.
Second	Burning	Makes Gungnir’s next attack burn the target’s mind, soul power, and body simultaneously. Continues until Lin Xiao exhausts his soul power, with intensity adjusting to his remaining reserves 7.
Third	Ice Seal	Freezes the target internally for one second; its effect is guaranteed 15 16.
Fourth	Rupture	Explodes after penetrating an enemy. Small shoots enter the meridians and partially seal soul skills 15.
Fifth	Unnamed vitality-absorption skill	Attaches Lin Xiao’s vitality to Gungnir, drains an enemy’s vitality, and replenishes his soul power and spiritual power 15.
Sixth	Unnamed karma-related skill	Involves karma but cannot fully affect it. Its use causes severe backlash 44 45.

• Skill stacking: Combines penetration, internal damage, freezing, soul-skill suppression, and replenishment; effectiveness still depends on the soul-power gap 15.
• One skill per ring: Even his Hundred Thousand Year and divine rings each grant only one Gungnir skill, attributed to the World Tree’s standing above the Douluo Plane 4 7 15.
• Hidden attribute: The God Kings detect a destructive power beyond Gungnir’s apparent life and sharpness attributes 44.

Ice and Fire Dragon King Inheritance

The Dragon Kings’ arm bones grant two offensive skills and two domains. Their remaining souls also reside in Lin Xiao’s Sea of Consciousness 6 7.

• Frostbound: Ignores rules to freeze a target for 0.5 seconds. Thawing shocks the body and slows sensory responses and soul-power circulation for the next half minute 7.
• Fire’s Sorrow: Forms a fireball in his hand that detonates on contact. At level 28, it matches a Soul King’s all-out strike, but his reserves allow only eight or nine uses 7.
• Combined domains: Can operate simultaneously, assaulting enemies’ Seas of Consciousness with ice and fire while doubling the ice- and fire-attribute damage they receive 7.
• Ice-Fire Divine Domain: Forces Zhao Wuji to surrender during their fight at Shrek Academy 16.
• Mental defense: The Dragon Kings agree to protect him when his mind comes under attack 6.

Physical Strength and Spear Technique

His tempered body and spear technique let him fight well above his nominal realm 5 15.

• The Ice Empress assesses that his physical strength and spear technique alone can defeat an ordinary Soul Saint, without using skills 15.
• Withstands Dai Mubai’s attack at the Rose Hotel without dodging or defending 15.
• Remains unmoved within Zhao Wuji’s gravity field 16.
• Limit: At level 65, he still requires protection from the shockwaves of a battle between two Limit Douluos 43.

Truth-Piercing Eye

An external soul bone received with the Heavenfrost Jade Qilin’s sacrifice, capable of seeing through truth and falsehood 32.

• Appears over his left eye after the sacrifice 32.
• He subsequently exposes Qian Renxue’s concealed identity to Snake Lance Douluo 35.

Vitality Support

Lin Xiao can release life force from his fifth ring alongside his naturally abundant vitality 18.

• Removes Xiao Wu’s exhaustion and heals her minor wounds after her arena matches 18.
• Shares soul power with a Demon-Eyed Tree, warming it and slightly accelerating its cultivation 20.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Ice Bear Pearl — Gift from Xiao Bai intended to aid cultivation 33.
• Three Realms Judgment Sword — Placed in his Sea of Consciousness by the God Kings as an emergency trump card. Causes severe backlash until he can perfectly control the divine powers of Asura, Goodness, and Evil 45.
• Sea God Trident and Thirteen Forms — Stored in his Sea of Consciousness by Poseidon; the forms are available for him to learn, not stated to be mastered 45.
• Five God Kings’ divine-power origins — Entrusted to him for protection and to allow future inheritance choices according to his limits and compatibility; this does not establish that he has attained their godhoods 45.
• Gu Yuena’s reverse scale — Allows her to sense his danger and protect him 48.

Relationships

• Old Jack — Raised him and supported his academy enrollment. Lin Xiao explicitly remembers his kindness when deciding the Spirit Pagoda’s direction 1 14.

• Ice Empress — Faction elder, sparring partner, and future wife. Initially resists his plans before agreeing to remain with him and the Snow Empress 11 13 14.

• Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu — Contacts through whom he negotiates cooperation with Spirit Hall’s Worship Hall 35 39 44 46.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo — Recruited with immortal herbs and soul bones; pledge allegiance to him and agree to obey Xiao Wu 41.
