Power Progression

Appearance

• Bare feet: Remains barefoot both at gatherings and while fighting in the Trial Space 14 16.

Personality

Rong Jun initially believes he can claim first place in the universe-wide Genius Battle. His defeats against Sword God shake that confidence without extinguishing his ambition. He treats refusing to retreat as a personal necessity, returning to challenge Chen Ao even when he knows he cannot win 10 11.

His pride is tempered by practical judgment. After Chen Ao wounds and spares him, Rong Jun resumes gathering points rather than risking immediate elimination. By his match with Luo Feng, he openly acknowledges that he has no right to be arrogant and must improve through grounded effort 11 12.

Away from battle, he is bold, easygoing, and sociable. He praises Luo Feng’s progress, readily mingles with other geniuses, and jokes with Luo Feng and Wuka 14 21 26.

Abilities & Skills

Space Law and Phantom Bodies

Rong Jun uses Space Law comprehension for rapid movement and blade-wielding Space Phantoms 10 11 12.

• Produces nine Phantom Bodies through Nine Line Flow while still at Star Level 12 13.
• Coordinates the phantoms against separate targets, destroying all nine of Luo Feng’s Golden Illusion Swords 13.
• His phantoms cannot stop Luo Feng’s Sky Piercing Style from reaching his true body 13.
• His Space Law comprehension initially falls far short of Chen Ao’s; he cannot penetrate Chen Ao’s Phantom Body blockade 11.

Earth Law and Self-Created Blade Technique

Rong Jun channels Earth Law power along his blade and develops his own offensive secret technique 11.

• Attacks from two directions using his true body and a Space Phantom 11.
• Combines fast movement with powerful, repeated blade strikes 18.
• Leaves exploitable openings: Chen Ao pierces his weapon arm and criticizes him for prioritizing apparent power over eliminating flaws 18.

Close-Combat Fighting

Rong Jun remains dangerous at close range even after suffering severe injuries 13.

• Survives Luo Feng’s barely executed Sky Piercing Style, though it leaves him coughing blood with a mangled chest 13.
• Wins their arena match after Luo Feng exhausts his spiritual power and the shrinking battlefield forces a close-range finish 13.

Equipment / Weapons

• Earth-Splitting Blade — His named weapon against Luo Feng and during his final Genius Battle match with Chen Ao 12 18.
• Second blade — Drawn when he challenges Sword God again at the end of the preliminary competition 11.

History

Genius Battle Preliminaries

Rong Jun is the third-ranked contestant in Zone 88 when he encounters Lei. His saber technique forces Lei to flee, but Chen Ao, competing as Sword God, interrupts the pursuit. Rong Jun challenges him after hearing that other contestants consider him hopelessly outmatched 10.

Their first confrontation ends with a single thrust into Rong Jun’s chest. Chen Ao deliberately spares him so he can remain in contention. After securing a top-thousand position, Rong Jun returns on the thirtieth day and unleashes his strongest technique. Unable to break through Chen Ao’s Phantom Bodies, he demands a direct sword strike and is killed within the Virtual Universe competition 11.

Arena Competition and Universe Finals

The defeat spurs Rong Jun to grow stronger. Against Luo Feng, he reveals nine Phantom Bodies and takes control of the match. Luo Feng nearly reverses the result with Sky Piercing Style, but exhausts his spiritual power before finishing him. The severely wounded Rong Jun wins as the arena shrinks 12 13.

During the following three years, Rong Jun repeatedly hopes Luo Feng will arrange another fight with Chen Ao, who refuses. At the universe finals, Lord Thirteen identifies Rong Jun and Luo Feng as Qianwu’s strongest prospects. Rong Jun briefly holds fifth place in Trial Space points and finishes the trials in third before advancing to the tournament’s top five 14 15 16 17.

Rong Jun loses to Luo Feng in the final round-robin stage, then faces Chen Ao after spending five years fixated on defeating him. Chen Ao disables his blade arm by exploiting a flaw in his self-created technique. Rong Jun consequently enters the Primordial Secret Realm rather than securing a Primal Secret Region place 17 18.

Chaos City and Later Training

Several Universe Country Lords compete to take Rong Jun as a disciple. By the end of his thirty-year Chaos City stay, he has a Universe Country Lord as his teacher and has cleared the Heavenly Bridge’s fifth floor 24 26.

Fifty years after leaving Chaos City, Rong Jun reaches the seventh-floor standard alongside Luo Feng and Bolan. As the Universe Level Qualification Battle approaches, he remains concerned about Chen Ao’s prolonged seclusion and hopes they might finally compete in the same secret region 36.

Relationships

• Chen Ao / Sword God — Rival and enduring benchmark. Rong Jun repeatedly challenges him, recognizes him despite his denials, and continues asking about him after decades of seclusion 11 14 18 36.
• Luo Feng — Friend and competitive rival. Rong Jun narrowly wins their first arena encounter, praises his subsequent improvement, and later loses to him in the universe finals 13 14 18.
• Lei / Thunder God — Preliminary-round opponent whom Rong Jun pursues until Sword God intervenes 10.
• Wuka — Friend and frequent target of friendly teasing. Wuka calls himself, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun the “Three Heroes of Primal Chaos,” a label the other two do not embrace 26 36.
• Lord Thirteen — Qianwu delegation leader who places high expectations on Rong Jun and approves of his Trial Space performance 15 16.
• Unnamed Universe Country Lord — His teacher by the end of the Chaos City training period; the provided passages do not identify which lord accepted him 24 26.
