Background

Bu Wuchen was an orphan on Earth who endured considerable hardship to survive. With no close attachments to his former life, he accepted the God-Level Choice System’s offer to remain in the cultivation world after transmigrating 1 3.

His new body belonged to a young man with the same name, the only grandson of Great Liang’s grand general, Bu Huazheng. The original heir had been framed by Prince Nanling’s daughter, lost more than ninety percent of his cultivation, and allowed a secret ancestral treasure to fall into her hands. The king banished him from the imperial capital, forbidding his return unless summoned by the sovereign or chosen by Heaven 1 15.

Only Wan Xiaoyao and A Chun followed him into exile, sacrificing their cultivation in the process. Although he initially entered Blood Dragon City Academy as a promising advanced-class student, his declining health and cultivation caused repeated demotions. A dormant poison eventually killed him, leaving the transmigrated Bu Wuchen to awaken in his body 1 7 39.

Bu Wuchen inherited both his predecessor’s memories and his unresolved desire for revenge. He intends to return to the imperial capital, but recognizes that violating the royal decree without sufficient strength would endanger his companions and grandfather 2 39.

Appearance

• Clothing: Wears plain cloth without conspicuous luxury, despite his military-family background 9 21.
• Blood Dragon Mark: Bears a fist-sized, dark-red birthmark over the left side of his chest, depicting a coiled dragon with its head raised 17.
• Unawakened significance: Xia Nuoyi believes the mark contains power he cannot yet awaken because his cultivation is too low 18.

Personality

Bu Wuchen is fiercely protective of Wan Xiaoyao and A Chun, regarding them as people no enemy may threaten. He treats their sacrifices as a debt to repay, insists they share his improved circumstances, and promises to restore their cultivation rather than accepting their permanent disability 8 18 19 44.

He refuses submission even when badly outmatched. Under Lü Chunyang’s crushing pressure, he remains standing despite bleeding from his ears and nose. His near-death encounter with Lin Senyu also teaches him that the system is not an automatic safeguard, strengthening his resolve to become powerful through his own decisions 13 14.

His defiance is accompanied by calculation. He conceals his transmigration, attributes his recovery to a “strange illness,” recruits influential allies, and uses witnesses and legal contracts against the Lin Lineage. He also values independence, accepting workshop employment only after securing freedom from compulsory quotas 17 26 31 38.

Bu Wuchen frequently taunts enemies and flirts with Xia Nuoyi. Although attracted to her, he initially remains wary because his predecessor was ruined by another beautiful woman 15 41 43.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recovery and the Lin Brothers

After accepting life in the new world, Bu Wuchen receives a cure and beginner rewards from the system. When Lin Zhuliang attacks his household, he uses his newly raised cultivation and physical enhancements to kill the attackers, then takes two valuable unique-copy manuals from Lin Zhuliang 1 3 4 5.

Lin Zhuxian subsequently threatens his companions and challenges him to a wagered death duel. Bu Wuchen adds twenty thousand gold to the stakes, kills Zhuxian with his heaven-tier finger technique, and survives retaliation through an instructor’s intervention and Xia Nuoyi’s protection 9 12 13 15.

Alchemical Rise and Lin Taoshu’s Defeat

After rapidly advancing through book-soul absorption, Bu Wuchen seeks access to the academy’s Pill Hall. Lin Taoshu refuses him because of the Lin feud, prompting Bu Wuchen to establish himself at the Song Clan Pill Workshop instead 19 20 21 26.

With Song Hechuan and Xia Nuoyi’s assistance, he arranges for Dean Zhou to witness Lin Taoshu’s misconduct. He then defeats Lin in an alchemical contest and enforces the resulting blood contract: Lin Taoshu kneels, kowtows, and addresses him as grandmaster 31 36 38.

Lin Yunba attempts to poison him through the compensation banknotes, but Xia Nuoyi removes the miasma. Bu Wuchen subsequently accepts special-talent status and chooses the system objective of placing in the top three of the coming Hundred Schools Tournament 39 40.

Night Forbidden Forest Ambush

Four academy students draw Bu Wuchen into a suspicious forest mission. Although he stops short of drinking the offered poisoned water, his status panel later confirms poisoning that reduces his usable combat strength to around Qi Observation Realm Second Layer and depletes much of his Mystic Qi 45 48 49.

Bu Wuchen turns the pursuit into an opportunity to line up his attackers, killing Li Duanfeng, Qiu Chaoyang, and Qian Dali with one finger strike. Feng Jieshuang evades it and flees; while pursuing her, he discovers that she is actually a Qi Control Realm cultivator 50.
