Power Progression

Background / History

Xu Qingjia died in a fatal accident in his previous life and reincarnated into the Xu Family. Learning that his new world contained Martial Souls, the Sun Moon Federation, Yun Ming, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi allowed him to recognize the setting of a novel he already knew. Before awakening, his apparent advantages were sharper senses, better memory, family resources, and disciplined training 1.

As Xu Ye and Shen Xi’s only child, he was raised as a prospective family successor. His upbringing included rare nourishing foods, medicinal baths, regular exercise, and access to a private healing-type Soul Master. The Xu Family’s political influence also gave him access to resources and protection unavailable to ordinary young cultivators 1 2 7 8 10.

On the night before his awakening, his soul entered the Netherworld without his body dying. There he met a fragment of Electrolux’s divine consciousness and discovered that the realm’s aura nourished him rather than eroding him. After eight hours, an unexplained force returned him to his bedroom in Mingdu 1.

Xu Qingjia later concealed the full circumstances of his reincarnation while sharing a modified account of his Netherworld inheritance with his parents. He regards himself as a genuine Xu Family descendant and considers avenging his ancestors’ suffering—including their losses in the Blood God Legion and the humiliation attributed to Tang San—a personal obligation 8 68.

Appearance

• Hair and eyes: Soft black hair and dark eyes 1.
• Complexion and features: Fair, jade-like skin and finely shaped features; described from childhood as handsome and aristocratic 1 12.
• Bearing: Refined, composed, and marked by cultivated grace 1 91.
• Martial Soul possession: His eyes become inhumanly calm, his expression takes on divine indifference, and ink-black aura gathers around him. His voice can become threefold and overlapping 8 20.
• Developing divine physique: Dragon King soul-bone absorption gives his skin a lustrous, jade-like sheen with a faint mysterious glow 127.

Personality

Xu Qingjia combines outward courtesy with strong ambition. He thanks Electrolux sincerely, treats his parents’ affection as something to cherish, and remains composed in unfamiliar or dangerous situations. Having already died once, he views additional time alive as a gain and refuses to wait passively for rescue 1 8.

He is affectionate and generous toward his close companions, but also mischievous and calculating. He repeatedly turns sparring victories into teasing wagers, uses snacks to coax Na’er, and offers valuable cultivation resources to people he wants to support. Xu Xiaoyan characterizes him as learned, refined, confident, and generous to his own people, while recognizing his slyness and overlapping romantic interests 21 26 91 112.

His long-term priority is independent strength rather than merely relying on divine artifacts or powerful subordinates. He rejects pursuing a conventional second profession because he expects god-level conflicts to outgrow battle armor, yet insists that his own cultivation foundation must remain strong. Against enemies, his gentleness can give way to coercion: he forces the Ice Dragon King to submit through his Divine Domain while promising assistance to the Dragon Clan 19 118 125.

Abilities & Skills

Yama Martial Soul

A god-associated Martial Soul linked to the Netherworld and the authority of King Yama. It is unprecedented in the Xu Family and in the recorded Douluo history described by his parents 8.

• Produces ink-black soul power and an aura associated with the boundary between life and death 7 8.
• Provides formidable physical attributes as well as spiritual and control abilities; Xu Qingjia explicitly demonstrates that Yama is not merely a backline Martial Soul 36.
• Possesses an energy hierarchy far above Xu Yucheng’s Death God’s Scythe; Xu Qingjia senses that he could bring his cousin’s soul power under his control 3.
• Becomes increasingly complete through the absorption of faith power 88.

Book of Life and Death

Xu Qingjia’s central inheritance and one of his greatest sources of authority. It manifests as a dark-gold book within his Sea of Consciousness 5 118.

• Records personal information, including Xu Qingjia’s birth details and the cause of his transmigration 5.
• Sends his soul into the Netherworld and supports the opening of the Ghost Gate 17 48 74.
• Traces an evil soul master’s superiors, allowing him to pursue the Holy Spirit Cult’s network 70.
• Pulls Tang San’s divine sense out of Tang Wulin and into the Netherworld 74.
• Reflects the lives of his bound subordinates and allows him to reclaim what he has bestowed on them 114.
• Extends lifespan; he uses it to prolong Leng Yaozhu’s life 139.

Divine Domain and Projections

Within his own Divine Domain, Xu Qingjia temporarily exercises a god’s authority even though his main body has not reached the divine realm 118.

• Creates projections that can use the Divine Domain and summon the Book of Life and Death 64.
• Supplies projections with domain energy, normally placing little burden on his faith reserves 64.
• Can spend additional faith power to make a projected body exceed his main body’s combat strength 64.
• Keeps his main body cultivating safely while projections travel or release powerful subordinates to act 64.
• Uses domain power to compel the revived Ice Dragon King’s submission 125.

Netherworld Affinity

The Netherworld’s aura nourishes Xu Qingjia’s soul instead of destroying it. His presence also shelters Electrolux’s remnant from erosion 1.

• Sustains his soul outside his body before he is independently capable of such an existence 1.
• Improves spiritual perception and supports spiritual-power cultivation 1 25.
• At Spirit Sea Realm, a night of Netherworld nourishment yields approximately three spiritual-power points, compared with a little over two through Soul Calisthenics 25.
• Does not initially protect him from collisions with fragmented souls, which can injure him or contaminate him with residual memories 1.
• He initially cannot open the Ghost Gate safely; by the confrontation with Tang San’s divine sense, he can use it directly 17 74.

Soul Hook and Spirit Lock

Two effects of his first soul skill, obtained through Nether Moon 12.

• Soul Hook: Extracts and controls souls, bypassing defenses that do not protect the soul itself 12 13.
• Spirit Lock / Soul Lock: Suppresses energy and immobilizes the body through ink-black chains 12 20.
• He avoids using Soul Hook against Ye Xinglan because soul injuries are difficult to heal and their difference in soul strength makes the attack dangerous 20.
• Strong opponents can overcome the chains; Na’er breaks through them using spear intent and Silver Dragon Break 23.

Judge’s Brush: Conviction

His second soul skill delivers judgments through the Judge’s Brush 26 36.

• First tested on Zhao Youji 26.
• Used to incapacitate Ning Yaoyao during the three-on-one Shrek match 36.
• Can be triggered successively with assistance from Mermaid Control; one demonstrated judgment is the Sin of Sloth 36.

Mirror of Sin: Shadow Reflection

Creates a target’s Sin Shadow. Xu Qingjia uses it to reproduce Tang Hao’s shadow during the fight against Shrek’s three students 36.

• Forms part of a coordinated trap involving Yu Diheng and Tang Hao’s tracking Clear Sky Hammer 36.
• Its precise mechanics beyond the demonstrated shadow creation are not specified.

Karmic Possession

Invokes the Six Paths to assume powers associated with another existence. During the academy competition, Xu Qingjia invokes the Animal Realm and manifests Golden Dragon King power in the Dragon God’s form 93.

• Produces overwhelming dragon might capable of intimidating Beast Martial Soul wielders 93.
• Provides powerful golden scales and physical force during his exchange with Xue Liushuang 94.
• Unlocks additional Six Paths powers after his Soul Emperor breakthrough 130.

True Understanding of Reincarnation · I Become the Six Paths

His fifth soul skill places his original body into reincarnation to be “reborn” and allows an avatar for each reincarnation path he possesses 130.

• Gains another incarnation every ten ranks, eventually reaching six at nine rings 147.
• Incarnations suffer no reduction in combat strength and can use his other soul skills 147.
• He identifies advanced spiritual-power control, comparable to Heart Separation Control, as his next training need 130.
• Whether the ability retains its full effectiveness at the divine level remains unconfirmed 147.

Soul-Bone Techniques and Divine Physique

• Mermaid Control: A Hundred Thousand Year soul-bone skill demonstrated through a mermaid’s song and repeated activation of Conviction 23 36.
• Modified Dark Gold Dreadclaw: Releases five ink-black blades across hundreds of meters; their death attribute drains the vitality of affected vegetation 87.
• Right-hand defense and regeneration: The palm bone unlocks a juvenile divine trait that greatly strengthens these functions when activated with soul power 88.
• Faith-driven completion: This trait is expected to strengthen and eventually spread through his body and soul as his Yama Martial Soul becomes complete 88.
• Ice and Fire Dragon King skills: The two arm bones grant four skills, two of them domains. Extreme cold from his right arm is later used to restrain Leng Yaozhu’s fire poison 130 139.

Cultivation and Combat Training

• Customizes his inherited meditation method rather than relying on it unchanged 17.
• Masters Soul Calisthenics quickly and possesses sufficiently fine spiritual control to cultivate while performing ordinary activities 12 25.
• Uses Heavenly Dipper Big Dipper Steps to evade attacks 36.
• Initially wins sword practice through superior reactions and physical attributes rather than exceptional swordsmanship 5.
• Recognizes an early lack of close-combat options and later demonstrates effective unarmed combat against powerful beasts and Beast Martial Soul users 13 36 85.
