Sageross

Biodata

Power Progression

Sageross and Lin En grow together: improvements to either strengthen the other. The soul-power ranks below identify Lin En’s documented milestones rather than assigning him and Sageross separate numerical ranks 7.

Background and History

Awakening and Nuoding Academy

Before transmigrating, Lin En knew Sageross from a game. He recalled being electrocuted after smashing his monitor in anger over Garlic Head defeating Sageross and Ingkaros. During his awakening in Emperor Soul Village, he discovered that Sageross had accompanied him into his new life 1.

Su Yuntao dismissed Sageross as a “trash martial soul” despite Lin En’s innate full soul power. Sageross soon demonstrated otherwise at Nuoding Academy, sending Wang Sheng flying with a kick when the dormitory leader tried to intimidate Lin En. Lin En introduced him to the other students as both his martial soul and his most important companion 1 3.

After three months of command training with Lin En and Ingkaros, Sageross entered the Soul Hunting Forest with Lin En and Niu Dazhuang. He killed a ten-year Wind Baboon, then helped defeat an eight-hundred-year Ghost Tiger. His unexpected use of Dark Flame made the tiger’s ring safe for Lin En to absorb 5 6.

At the academy, Sageross defeated Tang San by cutting through Blue Silver Grass and adjusting to Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. Lin En continued developing his potential through daily training, including squats while holding a boulder dozens of times his size. By graduation, Sageross had grown from thigh-height to approximately Lin En’s height and had unlocked numerous innate skills 9 10 12.

Mercenary Work and Zhu Zhuqing

Sageross secured Lin En a place in a soul-hunting mercenary team by defeating its scar-faced leader with Instant Thought Strike. When that partnership turned hostile, Lin En ordered Sageross to kill the leader 12 13.

He then carried Lin En into the encounters with Zhu Zhuqing’s Star Luo pursuers. Sageross killed one pursuer during the first intervention and later slaughtered the remaining attackers after Lin En repeatedly charged both sides for his involvement. While traveling with Zhu Zhuqing, he also detected an approaching Man Faced Demon Spider and fought it alongside her and Lin En 14 15 17.

In the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, Sageross broke the Twin Star Combination’s enhancement and incapacitated both opponents. In a later wager fight, Lin En revealed his three soul rings and ordered Sageross to overwhelm the Dragon-Tiger brothers with Darkness Power and Blade Storm 27 28.

Academy Challenges and Skywater

During Lin En’s search for a strong academy team, Sageross overwhelmed Huo Wushuang and defeated the level-forty-two Feng Xiaotian. Against Feng Xiaotian’s Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, he followed Lin En’s instructions to intercept the repeated flight path and counterattack 38 39.

At Skywater Academy, Sageross served as Zhu Zhuqing’s sparring partner and helped clear the soul-hunting squad’s route through the Star Dou Great Forest. At Cloudmist Swamp, he rescued a student from a Giant Swamp Crocodile King, then fought the beast with Ning Rongrong’s support. Double Darkness Power and Blade Light River mortally wounded it, and Sageross delivered the finishing blow 44 47 55 56.

He later helped Skywater defeat the Heaven Dou Team, using clones, wing-generated winds, and aerial attacks to disrupt its formation 80 81.

Ice Dragon King Inheritance

When Lin En could not withstand the pressure beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Sageross and Ingkaros created a barrier to carry him down to the Dragon Kings’ remains. Sageross began inheriting the Ice Dragon King’s power and soul, eventually evolving into King Sa 86 89.

Afterward, both mantises demonstrated their dragon-soul forms. The dragon souls also produced two Dragon Cores and two universal God-Level Soul Bones. Lin En saved the cores for a future breakthrough and began absorbing the bones himself 90.

Appearance

• Initial form: A small mantis with sharp, sickle-like claws, four short yellow-green legs, and a tail blade. His dark-red eyes become vividly crimson during battle 1 5 6.
• Developed form: An emerald, armor-like body with enormous golden scythes whose blades shade into green. Initially only thigh-high beside Lin En, he grows to match and then exceed his master’s height 12 13.
• Winged form: Crystalline wing blades extend from his back in a radiating pattern, resembling translucent shards of ice. By the later Shrek encounter, he stands three to four meters tall 13 49.
• King Sa: Sculpted emerald armor with crimson-gold accents, glowing red eyes, and six pointed golden wings. His enormous blades carry bright-white and fluorescent-green lightning 90.
• Dragon-soul form: The golden wings turn icy blue, while snow-and-ice patterns spread across his body amid blue-white light 90.

Personality

Sageross combines predatory aggression with affection toward Lin En. He frightens opponents through his gaze and killing intent, yet returns quietly to Lin En’s side after battle and accepts his praise and head strokes 1 5 6.

He is disciplined and eager to improve. During early battles, he waits for Lin En’s instructions rather than attacking indiscriminately, and he completes the training plans Lin En sets for him. He also acts independently when protection is needed, sounding an alarm and attacking an approaching Man Faced Demon Spider before the others are ready 5 10 17.

His attachment includes jealousy. After evolving, he resents Lin En comforting Ingkaros instead of focusing on his achievement. Praise and reassurance calm him, though the two mantises continue to turn away haughtily whenever their eyes meet 90.

External Martial Soul and Shared Growth

• Mutually reinforcing growth: Gains strength when Lin En improves and feeds his own improvements back to Lin En 7.
