Kanuo

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Kanuo originated from a major family on Pastoral Song Star whose strongest member was a Star Level fifth-stage warrior. After breaking through to Universe Level, he purchased the planet and established it as the Kanuo Family’s central stronghold. Tens of thousands of years of development made it a prosperous world known throughout the Purple River Empire 26.

By the time Weilusi introduced Lu Qingshan to him, Kanuo had cultivated for over thirty thousand years and owned a little over one hundred inhabited planets. He remained his family’s only Universe Level expert 13.

Before accepting Lu Qingshan, Kanuo had taken four personal disciples. His eldest disciple and second disciple had already died after exhausting their Star Level lifespans without reaching Universe Level. His surviving disciples, Huang Ziwei and Aolina, became important family leaders. He also had numerous nominal disciples, some of whom were not even core family members 28.

Kanuo supported his children with cultivation resources. Most of his surviving children reached Star Level, while two reached its ninth stage and served as his close aides 28.

Appearance

• Build: Burly, approximately 2.3 meters tall 15.
• Distinguishing feature: A pair of pointed ears 13 15.
• Usual attire: Earth-yellow or ochre battle armor 13 15 30.

Personality

Kanuo combines generosity with caution about character. Before accepting Lu Qingshan, he specifically asked whether the prospective disciple was trustworthy and would repay kindness. Exceptional talent alone was not enough to settle his decision 13.

Once committed, he takes a teacher’s responsibilities seriously. He secured Lu Qingshan’s homeworld, provided substantial funds, and arranged protection for the planet. He also recognized the limits of his own instruction and sought a stronger faction where his disciple could continue developing 19 20 24 33.

His support also reflects long-term family interests. He rewards useful contributions generously and openly acknowledges that a powerful Lu Qingshan might one day help him in return 20 26 33.
