Old Teng

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Old Teng spent ten thousand years imprisoned before Wu Shaozhen enabled him to see the sun again. He later credits their travels together with helping him reach the God-tier realm he had always dreamed of attaining 394 530.

He identifies himself as the last surviving bloodline of the Elder Soaring Serpent Clan. Before his own God-tier advancement, he had encountered Yamata no Orochi, who was already God-tier at the time 415 477.

Appearance

Personality

Old Teng is boastful, foul-mouthed, and fond of praise. He dismisses weaker bosses as beneath his former strength and repeatedly calls himself “Master Teng” or his enemies’ “grandpa.” His insults can provoke opponents into abandoning more sensible decisions, though his mouth also gets him into danger 314 415 477 555.

His bravado does not prevent him from recognizing threats. He initially hesitates to fight Orochi, fears the Black Dragon’s bloodline suppression, and becomes markedly more respectful toward Zi You after witnessing her power. Even after becoming a Transcendent God, he remains wary of Wu Shaozhen’s poison and Godslayer 396 415 532 560.

Despite frequent complaints about taking beatings, Old Teng reliably protects Wu Shaozhen. He shields him from attacks, offers to remain behind against a stronger pursuer, and reacts immediately when he recognizes a genuine emergency 491 525 530. When stronger opponents on the Divine Wood Continent reduce his usefulness in direct combat, he quietly struggles with losing his former place among Wu Shaozhen’s strongest companions 611.

Abilities & Skills

Recorded Statistics

These values describe Old Teng as a Level 73 Saint Pet, not his later unrestricted or Transcendent God-tier forms 269.

Flight, Speed, and Warp

Old Teng’s exclusive talent doubles his speed while flying. Warp allows him to reposition abruptly in battle or reach someone in danger 269 314 352.

• Carries Wu Shaozhen across large territories and serves as an escape mount 409 522.
• Uses repeated attacks and retreats to harass more than two hundred Saint-tier Blood Demons without allowing them to catch him 469.
• After his Transcendent advancement, outpaces an Otherworldly Demon even when it uses spatial displacement 537.
• Repeatedly catches the Golden-Winged Roc during speed contests 559.
• Limits: Enclosed domains can prevent him from exploiting his speed. Spatial skills can also catch or forcibly reposition him 394 473 522 545.
• Avoids underwater combat, admitting that he is not accustomed to fighting there 560.

Lightning and Wide-Area Attacks

Old Teng specializes in devastating groups from the air. Against crowds, his broad spell coverage can make him more effective than Wu Shaozhen 294 449.

• Sea of Thunder — Calls down extensive lightning barrages. Used to defeat the Millennium Tree Demon, disperse the Blood Ancestors’ seas of blood, and attack the Black Dragon’s remnant soul 314 473 533.
• Tempest — Used against the Blood Ancestors before attempting to escape with Warp 473.
• Physical sweeping attacks — His enormous tail knocks enemies away, intercepts pursuers, and drives opponents back into his lightning storm 427 473 478.
• Limits: God-tier strength does not make him able to endure simultaneous attacks from more than two hundred Saint-tier opponents; he relies on mobility instead 469.

Poison Mist Surround

Poison Mist Surround surrounds Old Teng with destructive poisonous mist 314.

• Withers the Millennium Tree Demon’s approaching branches before they can entangle him 314.
• Remains available after the pet contract suppresses his strength, alongside his other original skills 269.

Durability and Protective Abilities

Old Teng uses his size and toughness to block attacks aimed at Wu Shaozhen, creating openings for his partner’s ambushes 525.

• Blood absorption: During his near-death transformation, surrounding blood restores him while the Blood Ancestors’ attacks appear to become absorbed energy. The passages do not establish this as a freely reusable ability 477 478.
• Armored scales: After his mutation, scales protect him against powerful physical and spatial attacks 537 545.
• Ally protection: A scale layer placed on Wu Shaozhen grants 30% damage reduction and 80% damage reflection 539.
• Dragon traits: Gains powerful Damage Immunity and regenerative abilities after acquiring the dragon bloodline 551.
• Damage Transfer: Uses a defensive effect identified by the Divine Venerables as Damage Transfer; their attacks fail to damage him in the shown exchange 619.
• Limits: Supreme powerhouses can still suppress him. Before his mutation, the Black Dragon’s Dragon Cry, Dragonflame, and bleeding claw wounds nearly kill him 533 534 545 546.

Dragon Bloodline and Transformation

The Dragon Pearl changes Old Teng into a hybrid possessing Divine Dragon and Soaring Serpent bloodlines 535 536.

• Can assume human form and return to his winged true form at will 536 550.
• Gains dragon skills in addition to his existing Soaring Serpent skills 537.
• Uses sharp claws to inflict wounds that even a Transcendent God-tier opponent cannot quickly heal 537.
• Can conceal his Transcendent God-tier aura and restrict his displayed strength to God-tier during a staged fight 560.

Verbal Provocation

Old Teng’s taunts are repeatedly compared to a Taunt skill, though the passages present them as the effect of his insults rather than a named combat ability 477 555.

• Keeps Old Seven and Old Eight focused on killing him instead of helping Old Ten 477.
• Draws a Transcendent God-tier defender out of Bifang City 555.
• Limit: The Divine Venerables recognize the defensive trap and redirect their attacks toward other allies 619.

Other Recorded Skills

His original nine-skill roster also includes the following abilities, whose individual mechanics are not explained in the supplied passages 269:

• Brutal Sweeping Strike
• Furious Thunder Roar
• Ten Thousand Snakes Devour the Heart
• Mist Shadow
• Heaven Devourer

Relationships

• Wu Shaozhen / Dustseal — Master, traveling partner, and family-like companion. Their bond becomes closer than that of brothers despite daily bickering. Wu Shaozhen regards the pet contract chiefly as a convenient way to bring him along and gives him the Dragon Pearl rather than using it himself 404 530 535.
• Zi You — Respected companion whom he calls his boss or “boss lady.” Her power curbs his arrogance; they later fight together against Supreme Otherworldly Demons and Mo Yuan 396 473 545 576.
• Bing Yu / Ice and Snow Empress — An ally whose strength initially leaves him feeling outclassed. He helps rescue her at Lone Shadow Peak, and she returns to support him and Zi You against their attackers 482 545 546.
• Wu Ziyin — Battlefield ally. He assists her group against the Blood Demons and Blood Attendants, and she later heals him during battles against the Otherworldly Demons 482 590 619.
• Yamata no Orochi — An earlier acquaintance and later enemy. Old Teng initially fears Orochi’s superior strength; Orochi’s Blood Soul Curse and blood essence subsequently contribute to his growth 415 427 473.
• Nan Feng — A familiar member of Wu Shaozhen’s circle. After Nan Feng mocks his human appearance, Old Teng grabs him and vanishes, threatening to “loosen up” his bones 557.
