Wei Chong

Biodata

Power Progression

• Realm inconsistency: A later passage calls Wei Chong “Mid Blood Exchange,” conflicting with his earlier Divine Strength Realm descriptions; no corresponding realm change is explained 92 110 117.

Personality

Wei Chong is blunt, stern, and sparing with words. Lu Yuan warns Jiang Lan that he has a temper and should not be contradicted during training. His first assessment—“Good defense. Average offense.”—sets the tone for demanding sessions that often begin with little conversation 92 93.

Despite his severe manner, he values talented students and adapts to their needs. He permits Jiang Lan’s wilderness trips after recognizing their effectiveness, deliberately avoids prying into his secrets, and personally warns him against fighting beasts he cannot defeat 107 111 113.

He also recognizes his own limitations. When his strength can no longer help Jiang Lan improve, he ends their sparring arrangement and offers continued support rather than insisting on maintaining his position 125.

Abilities & Skills

Unarmed Combat

• Powerful punches: During their first assessment, he strikes Jiang Lan hard enough to send him four or five meters into a wall. Jiang Lan estimates the blow carries at least 100,000 kilograms of force 93.
• Speed and reactions: He catches Jiang Lan’s opening punch without moving and easily evades an Earth-Cracking Leg attack 93.
• Controlled intensity: He repeatedly increases his punching speed as Jiang Lan adapts, keeping the student near his current limit 94 95 102.
• Limits against Jiang Lan: His full-strength attacks eventually fail to move or injure his student, while Jiang Lan’s counterattacks force him backward even through a guard 117 125.

Combat Instruction

His training emphasizes enduring pressure, reading attacks, and finding opportunities to counter rather than simply exchanging blows 93 125.

• Routine: Two-hour morning sessions, normally beginning at nine o’clock 93 94.
• Attack recognition: Repeated exposure teaches Jiang Lan to distinguish punch trajectories, windups, and rhythm 93 94.
• Practical technique: Jiang Lan credits him with improving evasion rhythm, punch timing, and composure—skills that leveling alone could not provide 125.
• Exploiting impatience: His lesson that impatience creates openings later helps Jiang Lan fight the Raging-Horn Savage Bull 141.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Becoming Jiang Lan’s Mentor

Su Wan appoints Wei Chong after the Academy reassesses Jiang Lan’s talent as a suspected mutation. At their first meeting, Wei Chong tests his offense and defense, then announces that his immediate training will consist of taking punches. Although he initially says to return the next day, he begins the first two-hour session immediately 92 93.

By the fourth day, Jiang Lan dodges one punch. After ten days, he can avoid roughly two or three blows out of ten, but still cannot land a counterattack because Wei Chong continually adjusts his speed 94 95.

Adapting to Jiang Lan’s Growth

After the military clearing operation, Wei Chong praises Jiang Lan’s progress. Jiang Lan acknowledges that the training helped him kill a fifth-tier beast without suffering the injuries he might otherwise have sustained 102.

Jiang Lan eventually lands his first solid hit on Wei Chong’s flank. Wei Chong praises him, then immediately answers with five consecutive punches. Afterward, he grants Jiang Lan one day outside the city, subject to restrictions on entering the northern wilderness’s middle region 104.

Recognizing that wilderness combat accelerates Jiang Lan’s growth, Wei Chong approves three days of leave and later offers seven. He does not demand an explanation for the unusual rate of improvement 107 111.

Beast-Tide Warnings

During the wilderness emergency, Wei Chong tells Jiang Lan to retreat immediately from any fifth-tier beast he cannot defeat. His concern stems from his unwillingness to see such a promising student die 113.

He later informs Jiang Lan that the military has detected a sixth-tier beast again and is gathering Diamond Realm martial artists. He warns that further missions may follow 117.

Ending Their Sparring Arrangement

Within less than two months of becoming Jiang Lan’s mentor, Wei Chong finds himself unable to provide a meaningful challenge. Jiang Lan casually deflects his punch, withstands his full strength without moving, and drives him backward with Iron Mountain Fist 125.

Wei Chong admits that continuing would no longer help Jiang Lan improve and says he will report the situation to Su Wan. When Jiang Lan thanks him, he dismisses the formality, pats his shoulder, and invites him to seek help whenever needed 125.

Relationships

• Jiang Lan — Student and sparring partner. Jiang Lan initially resents the relentless beatings and privately plans to make him sing “Conquest,” but later abandons that idea out of gratitude for his support 93 94 111.
• Su Wan — Academy colleague who assigns Jiang Lan to him. Wei Chong later intends to report to her when Jiang Lan surpasses the usefulness of his instruction 92 125.
• Lu Yuan — Jiang Lan’s previous instructor, who knows Wei Chong’s temper and warns Jiang Lan not to talk back during training 92.
