Background

Arthas was grown in a Nutrient Tank in an underground chamber of the Body Sect. Minghui gave the clone only part of his memories, both to preserve operational security and to prevent anyone who captured him from learning Minghui's private information. Upon awakening, he was named Arthas and sent to study in Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department. He inherited Minghui's talent for Soul Tool research and was physically indistinguishable from a living person, able to eat, sleep, cultivate, and train normally. 215

He publicly presented himself as an orphan whose parents had died in a war led by Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke. This claimed history shaped his stated goal of revenge, though he rejected indiscriminate warfare because it would harm civilians. Instead, he pursued cultivation and Soul Tool research as the means to eventually confront Dai Hao. 216 222

His later disclosure establishes that he was a clone created from an Evil Soul Master's corpse. Minghui used their soul link and Arthas's position within the Sun Moon Empire to conduct espionage, including the theft from Mingde Hall's underground warehouse and the rescue of captives. 292

Appearance

Arthas is a notably large and sturdy young man. At age twenty, he measured 188 centimeters tall and weighed 80 kilograms; his physical strength was assessed at Level 78 and his flexibility at Level 75. 215

• His ordinary appearance is described as honest, simple, and somewhat dull due to his constant focus on research. 227
• His black full-body Battle Armor drastically changes his presence, making him appear sharp, imposing, and intimidating. 227
• The armor includes a mask covering his mouth and nose, armored limb plates, and eight dark metallic spider-like appendages extending from his back. 227
• His physique grants him physical strength comparable to a Soul Sage or Soul Douluo in close combat. 227 228

Personality

Arthas is calm, direct, and intensely research-oriented. He spends most of his time cultivating or developing Soul Tools, and he considers romance and unnecessary socializing distractions from his goals. His indifference toward attempts to seduce or politically bind him becomes widely known within the Sun Moon Empire. 219 223 240 241

He is pragmatic and highly guarded in political dealings. He accepts resources, protection, and research opportunities when they serve his objectives, while concealing his deeper connection to Minghui. He also holds grudges deeply and openly warns others not to provoke him. 222 223 225 292

Despite his ruthless methods, Arthas opposes war and its harm to civilians. He destroys a Holy Spirit Cult branch, frees imprisoned souls, and offers the surviving Saint Disciples a path through the Spirit Transmission Hall. 216 230

Abilities & Skills

• By igniting his own Soul Power, he can turn the martial soul's normally restorative effect into a harmful one. 220

Necromancy and Soul Manipulation

Arthas possesses Necromancy, allowing him to affect souls, control undead, and employ techniques feared as Evil Soul Master abilities. 218 228 230

Soul Tool Engineering

Arthas is a Level 7 Soul Engineer whose research combines Soul Tools with anatomy, Soul Beast materials, and his own combat style. 235 241

• Its Eight Spider Lances can grab, stab, drill, fire lasers, and move with the flexibility of extra limbs. 227 228

Major Arcs

Sun Moon Exchange Program

Arthas joins Shrek Academy's exchange delegation to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. He impresses Xuan Ziwen with a powerful Soul Tool, but refuses to reveal an offensive design that could be mass-produced for war. 215 216

He gains attention after defeating Wang Shaojie and later negotiates protection, research materials, and access to Mingde Hall through his offer to treat Xu Tianran. 218 222

Xu Tianran's Treatment

Arthas performs a high-risk limb replacement procedure for Xu Tianran, using the Third Prince's legs and compatible Soul Bones. The successful operation restores Xu Tianran's ability to move his legs and earns Arthas exceptional privileges from the imperial family and Mingde Hall. 224 225

Exchange Assessment and Holy Spirit Cult Raid

Wearing his Battle Armor, Arthas sweeps the academy's Level 6 Soul Engineers with thirty-five consecutive victories. 227 228

After learning of Nana's past, he infiltrates and destroys a Holy Spirit Cult branch. He eliminates its leaders, retrieves the Soul Banner containing captive souls, purifies them, and directs Nana and the surviving Saint Disciples toward the Spirit Transmission Hall. 230

Joining Mingde Hall

At the end of the exchange program, Arthas hands Fan Yu his research results and announces that he will remain in the Sun Moon Empire. Mingde Hall welcomes him, while Shrek Academy's delegation accepts the decision with mixed feelings. 231

He later provides Mingde Hall with his Battle Armor blueprints and becomes involved in research projects due to the armor's strategic value. 235

Jingyang Mountain Range

After reaching Rank 60, Arthas hunts for a sixth Soul Ring in the Jingyang Mountain Range. When a Hundred-Thousand-Year Silver Moon Wolf Emperor's pack overwhelms the group, he summons undead to cover Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's escape, then remains behind himself. 244 245

He returns after acquiring his sixth Soul Ring and gathering Golden Wolf and Silver Wolf materials for future Soul Tool construction. 246

Soul Engineer Tournament

Arthas registers for the Elite Soul Engineer Tournament as a representative of the Xishui Alliance. His reputation as a Level 7 Soul Engineer intimidates other competitors, though he claims to be seeking research inspiration rather than the championship. 273 274

In the finals, he unveils the Gate of the Underworld against Ye Guyi, sending her through the gateway and attracting the Holy Spirit Cult's interest. 286
