History

Confrontation at Martial Saint Academy

Xu Weilin initially challenged Shen Yuxuan, who refused to fight him. When Shen blocked his access to Xia Yu, Xu ordered four inner disciples to attack together and threatened punishment if they held back. Xia Yu killed all four, prompting Xu to intervene personally; Shen pushed Xia Yu out of his attack’s path 27 28.

Shen then warned that fighting him could leave Xu too injured to qualify for the secret realm trial three months later. Unwilling to jeopardize his planned Emperor Realm breakthrough, Xu instead summoned the academy’s inner disciples to kill Xia Yu. After Xia Yu joined the Dao-Seeking Academy, Shen continued blocking Xu while Xia Yu fought the other disciples. Xu also warned Bao Yijian against accepting Xia Yu’s challenge, recognizing his unusual combat strength and powerful spear 28 29 30.

Pressure from Qi Huang and Jealousy over An Qing

After Su Deyu secured Xia Yu’s departure, Qi Huang blamed Xu for failing to kill him and threatened to prevent his entry into the Emperor Realm unless he completed that task. Xu privately resented her for shifting responsibility onto him after she and the vice dean had also failed, but feared the consequences of saying so aloud 31.

An Qing’s arrival gave Xu another motive to pursue Xia Yu. He admired the Seventh Princess and regarded her as his ideal romantic prospect, believing Shangguan Ming Yue was beyond his reach. Seeing An Qing’s concern for Xia Yu, he returned to the academy to seek his master and resolved that Xia Yu must not survive the night 32.

Duel with Xia Yu

Xu later intervened when Xia Yu shattered Jiang Yuqi’s arm. Their punches clashed evenly, shocking Xu with Xia Yu’s rapid improvement. Rather than continue alone, he summoned reinforcements using a glowing crossed-saber-and-sword signal 40.

Grand Elder Zhang Xinyi publicly condemned him for seeking help and ordered him to kill Xia Yu or die trying. After An Qing helped secure a fight restricted to the younger generation, Xu activated his king’s domain and began the duel. He rejected Su Xiang’er’s objection to their cultivation gap, arguing that anyone below the Emperor Realm qualified under those rules 41 42.

Xia Yu matched Xu’s fist techniques and drove him back with Sixfold Boundless. Xu responded by activating battle intent and fist intent, but Xia Yu gradually gained the advantage through repeated exchanges. Xu then used his Gravity Domain to immobilize Xia Yu and crush his chest with a punch 42 43.

Death and Aftermath

Xu delayed the killing blow because he wanted Xia Yu to die in despair. With guidance from the Ancestral Dragon, Xia Yu learned to comprehend and control the fluctuations of force within the domain. He evaded Xu’s attempted finishing punch and counterattacked, bursting Xu’s head 44.

Xia Yu took Xu’s Heaven and Earth Bag and fed it into the Heaven-Incinerating Furnace. Its spiritual energy healed his injuries and helped him advance to the second level of the King Realm. Xu’s death was followed by Zhang Xinyi’s attack on Xia Yu and open fighting between the academies 44 45.

The Martial Saint Academy’s leadership did not publicize the circumstances of Xu’s defeat. Later challengers consequently believed that the Dao-Seeking Academy’s teachers, rather than Xia Yu, had killed him 50.

Personality

Xu Weilin was cold, domineering, and fiercely concerned with the Martial Saint Academy’s reputation. His disciples feared his anger, and he treated their defeats as humiliation for the entire academy. Nevertheless, he recognized Xia Yu’s talent early and considered him a future threat that had to be eliminated 27 28 30 31.

His arrogance coexisted with calculated caution. He avoided risking injury before the secret realm trial, warned Bao Yijian against a dangerous duel, and called for reinforcements when Xia Yu unexpectedly matched his punch. Toward stronger academy figures, he remained outwardly obedient even while privately resentful 28 29 31 40 41.

Once his Gravity Domain gave him control of the duel, he became deliberately cruel, prolonging Xia Yu’s suffering rather than killing him immediately 44.

Abilities & Skills

Gravity Domain

Xu’s king’s domain imposed crushing gravitational pressure over an area more than ninety feet across 41 44.

• Applied hundredfold gravity, severely restricting Xia Yu’s movement 44.
• According to Xu, the pressure could not be resisted with Origin Force; the target had to endure it physically 44.
• Immobilized Xia Yu long enough for Xu to inflict a devastating chest injury 43.
• Failed to secure victory once Xia Yu learned to control the domain’s force fluctuations 44.

Fist Techniques

Xu specialized in rapid, powerful punches and possessed a physique far stronger than that of most cultivators 42 43.

• Divine Emperor Fist: An emperor-tier technique that condensed surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy inside his fist, concentrating its power rather than forming an external energy fist 42.
• Sustained prolonged, direct exchanges with Xia Yu using martial techniques, Origin Force, and physical strength 42 43.
• Had previously killed ordinary Emperor Realm cultivators despite remaining at the half-step Emperor Realm 42.

Battle Intent and Fist Intent

Xu had comprehended two kinds of intent, both of which amplified his combat power 42 43.

• Battle intent: Manifested as a golden phantom that entered his body and increased his aura 42.
• Fist intent: Manifested as an enormous golden fist that dissolved into light and entered his body 43.
• His intent-enhanced attacks initially matched Xia Yu’s intermediate battle intent and Sixfold Boundless, injuring both combatants 43.

Equipment / Items

• Heaven and Earth Bag — Contained a large quantity of spiritual energy. Xia Yu seized it after Xu’s death and placed it in the Heaven-Incinerating Furnace 44.

Relationships

• Xia Yu — Enemy and eventual killer. Xu sought his death as both a threat to the academy and a perceived rival for An Qing’s attention 28 32 44.
• Shen Yuxuan — Rival from the Dao-Seeking Academy. Shen admitted he could not defeat Xu outright, but repeatedly obstructed him by exploiting the academies’ rules and Xu’s concern over the secret realm trial 27 28 29.
• Qi Huang — Powerful academy figure whom Xu feared and privately resented. She made his prospects of entering the Emperor Realm conditional on killing Xia Yu 31.
• Zhang Xinyi — Grand elder whose orders Xu obeyed. Zhang condemned his request for reinforcements and forced him into the death duel 40 41.
• An Qing — Object of Xu’s romantic interest; her concern for Xia Yu intensified his hostility toward him 32.
• Bao Yijian — Junior disciple whom Xu warned not to challenge Xia Yu because of the latter’s exceptional combat strength and weapon 29.
