Background & History

In his youth, Pei Ge entered Ba Wu Giant City through the help of a senior skilled in fist techniques. At the time, he had only recently reached the Martial Arts Fourth Realm and was not qualified to become that senior's disciple. The senior, later identified as the monarch-level Xie Tianlin, promised to accept him if he reached the Martial Arts Seventh Realm before age one hundred. 123 158 161

Pei Ge later became a prominent Martial Artist on Earth Origin Star, serving as a vice dean of Qinghong Academy's Martial Arts Academy. During the Spark Program, he was one of four mentors and helped Lin Xuan develop beyond the program itself, teaching him Ladder Cloud Step, Flowing Cloud Body, and Cloud Dispelling Palm. 42 85 140

After reaching commander class, Pei Ge became Qinghong Academy's vice principal. He personally came to Imperial Capital to support Lin Xuan during the dispute with the Liu Family, forcing Deputy Director Liu to abandon his attempt to pressure Lin Xuan into apologizing. 119

Pei Ge accompanied Lin Xuan to Ba Wu Giant City as the latter's Guardian of the Path. There, he used Red Chamber intelligence to locate Xie Tianlin at One Punch Gym in the South Thirteenth District. 123 156 158

He formally became Xie Tianlin's sixth disciple despite knowing that One Punch Gym was under pressure from Heavenly Martial Gate and its traitorous second disciple, Gu Quan. 161 During the ensuing conflict, he defeated Gu Quan's disciple Modo and awakened recognition of his Heart Martial Dao Body. 163

When Iron Mountain offered him safer and potentially more advantageous arrangements, Pei Ge refused to abandon One Punch Gym immediately after joining it. He considered leaving at such a moment incompatible with his martial principles. 164 165

Appearance

Pei Ge first appears dressed in white. Years after his first visit to Ba Wu Giant City, he is described as having gone from a youth to a middle-aged man, while Xie Tianlin's appearance had not changed. 42 161

• Carries the bearing and presence of a high-level Martial Artist; his appearance alone drew immediate recognition from Spark Program candidates. 42
• His cultivation cannot be read by Lin Xuan's Other Awareness, which returns only question marks for commander-class beings. 123

Personality

Pei Ge is patient and candid as a teacher. He explains the risks of Ba Wu Giant City to Lin Xuan directly, including that Great Xia may be unable to protect anyone who provokes the wrong power. 121 He is also fair-minded: although he supports Lin Xuan, he considers Wang Chongtian his student as well and does not blindly take Lin Xuan's side. 140

He is cautious around unfamiliar powers, as shown by his conduct toward Iron Mountain and the Red Chamber, but he does not let danger deter him from commitments. 156 159 His decision to remain at One Punch Gym despite Heavenly Martial Gate's threats reflects his insistence on acting with a clear conscience. 161 165

Abilities & Skills

Heart Martial Dao Body

Pei Ge possesses the rare Heart Martial Dao Body, a martial constitution that accelerates martial comprehension and allows him to more easily perceive and counter other practitioners' techniques. 163

• Sees through an opponent's attacks in advance, allowing him to evade with minimal movement. 163
• Can redirect or exploit an opponent's openings even when outmatched in raw speed and physical strength. 162 163
• Used the Dao Body to remain untouched by Modo's attacks before defeating him with a decisive punch. 163
• Does not inherently grant superior raw power; Modo was faster and physically stronger than Pei Ge. 163

Martial Arts Instruction

As an instructor, Pei Ge taught Lin Xuan several martial arts methods beyond the latter's original techniques. 84 85

• Ladder Cloud Step — Lin Xuan advanced it to Lv. 3 through training and combat. 85
• Flowing Cloud Body — Taught alongside Ladder Cloud Step and Cloud Dispelling Palm. 85
• Cloud Dispelling Palm — A martial method Lin Xuan developed through combat experience. 85
• True Meaning Five Elements Fist and True Meaning Swimming Dragon Step — Pei Ge's instruction was part of Lin Xuan's continued martial development. 84

Cloud and Mist Inheritance

After joining One Punch Gym, Pei Ge began rebuilding his foundation around a stronger martial arts inheritance obtained by Xie Tianlin from a secret-realm trial. 175

• The inheritance can be cultivated up to Monarch Fourth Heaven. 175
• It shares an origin with Pei Ge's former cloud-and-mist-based method, allowing him to transition without starting from scratch. 175
• His training under Xie Tianlin prevented him from attending the Lotus Restaurant reception. 175

Intimidation Technique

During the Spark Program assessment, Pei Ge used a martial arts technique to overwhelm candidates with pressure, causing panic and fainting among several trainees. 42

• Lin Xuan remained calm under the technique's pressure. 42
• Xiang Beifeng was among the first candidates to faint. 42

Relationships

• Lin Xuan — Student and protégé. Pei Ge supported his martial growth, defended him in Imperial Capital, accompanied him to Ba Wu Giant City, and later received Lin Xuan's help during the One Punch Gym crisis. 84 119 123 164
• Xie Tianlin — Master. Xie Tianlin remembered Pei Ge from their earlier meeting and accepted him as his sixth personal disciple after Pei Ge met their longstanding agreement. 161
• Gu Quan — Second senior brother and adversary. Gu Quan betrayed One Punch Gym for Heavenly Martial Gate and sought to seize Pei Ge's Heart Martial Dao Body through the Soul-Seizing Method. 161 163
• Iron Mountain — Powerful ally through Lin Xuan. Iron Mountain intervened against Heavenly Martial Gate to protect One Punch Gym and offered to forge Pei Ge a top-tier Yellow-Rank Source Artifact. 164
• Wang Chongtian — Spark Program student. Pei Ge acknowledges Wang Chongtian as his student while criticizing his immature temperament. 140
• Ping Shen — Fellow Great Xia commander and Yin Yang City Lord. Ping Shen supported Pei Ge's search for his former benefactor and regarded Pei Ge's apprenticeship under Xie Tianlin as major news for Great Xia. 156 175
