Azurite Rock Man

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Jiang Ziliu selected the Azurite Rock Man before awakening as a beast tamer, obtaining information about its egg from the school warehouse manager. Although the species had a C+ bloodline, weak growth potential, and a reputation for being difficult to evolve, its SSS-grade Life Aura Concealment suited his need to keep his abilities secret. His B- Contract Mark successfully contracted the egg, leaving him with nearly 40,000 yuan in low-interest school loans 2.

He accelerated its hatching with a potion made from petrifying lantern fruit, slime gel, black marsh salt mud, insect bone shell, his own blood, and an earth-attribute Elemental Crystal. Probability Judgment gave the formula a 96% chance of substantially improving the beast. It hatched three hours after application, with a finer body and higher initial life tier than an ordinary Azurite Rock Man 3.

Jiang Yuan recognized its unusual quality even while it displayed a false Four-star Gray Rock aura. Jiang Ziliu suspected that a profound mutation had occurred during hatching, but this was not confirmed by its skill ranks 4.

Its subsequent growth follows a bloodline-centered path. Jiang Ziliu prioritizes increasing its Dwarf Titan bloodline concentration, using the resulting improvements to drive the development of its body and skills. This differs from Lady White and Thousand Faces, whose development at that stage centers more heavily on strengthening particular skills 69.

After nearly half a year of visualization practice, Jiang Ziliu establishes a soul channel with it, enabling barrier-free mental communication. He names it Kun because Kun represents earth in the pairing of Qian and Kun, expressing his hope that it will one day become a source of the earth. A Kun understands the meaning and is delighted by the human-sounding name 74.

The Dwarf Titan bloodline eventually stalls at 69.9%. Following Ailande’s advice, Jiang Ziliu changes the goal from increasing its concentration to evolving it into the higher-grade Earth Titan bloodline. A later transformation grants it a complete Titan bloodline and changes its race into an Azurite Titan, combining Titan potential with its original racial advantages 99 101 160.

Appearance

• At hatching: Approximately half a meter tall, composed entirely of sky-blue stone, with large, lively eyes and the fine proportions of a porcelain doll 3.
• Difference from ordinary specimens: Typical Azurite Rock Men resemble rough, pitted stone statues with dull eyes. Jiang Ziliu’s resembles a lively child rather than a crudely carved humanoid 3 4.
• Before evolution: Grows roughly a quarter taller after absorbing Stalactite Vein Milk, with a body increasingly resembling a flesh-and-blood lifeform 32.
• After evolution: Shrinks to less than half a meter tall and gains faint higher-order bloodline pressure 33.
• At Bronze Rank: Becomes more humanlike without growing larger; its immense strength is concealed within its small body 43.
• During Earth Titan evolution: Its skin becomes finer and smoother, resembling that of a flesh-and-blood humanoid. Its overall appearance increasingly resembles an infant Titan giant 100.
• At Six-star Gold: Remains small enough for Jiang Ziliu to hold, but its uncontrolled weight feels like that of a small mountain. It can reduce its apparent weight through its own control 101.
• After complete Titan bloodline awakening: Its race is identified as Azurite Titan; it retains the advantages of its original Azurite Rock Man nature 160.

Abilities & Skills

Life Aura Concealment

Originally SSS rank; later SSS+ and ultimately Demigod Rank. The decisive reason Jiang Ziliu chose it as his first beast 2 101 160.

• Conceals life aura and allows a lower apparent life level or bloodline grade to be displayed continuously 2 4.
• Through contract feedback, Jiang Ziliu can apply the skill to himself and his other beasts 2.
• Also conceals Dark Energy and soul presence, allowing Jiang Ziliu to hide his greatly strengthened soul 22.
• At its original SSS grade, requires an SSS+-grade detection skill to see through the concealment 2.
• Combines with underground movement to make the Azurite Rock Man exceptionally difficult to detect while scouting or preparing an ambush 8 50.
• Rises to SSS+ after the Earth Titan bloodline evolution 101.
• Prevents several Diamond Rank beast tamers from locking onto its location with soul power during the Jiang Lineage treasury theft 139.
• At Demigod Rank, can deceive even a Demigod powerhouse about its life level or conceal its presence so completely that mental probing registers only empty air 160.
• Its final advancement also grants Jiang Ziliu Demigod Rank concealment through feedback 161.

Rock and Earth Evasion and Concealment

Its core mobility and concealment skills allow it to approach enemies through terrain rather than across open ground 8 9.

• Rock and Earth Evasion — ultimately SSS rank: Travels through both soil and solid rock. Originally D+, it reaches C during hatching, C+ before evolution, B after its first bloodline evolution, A- during Silver Rank, S- after Earth Titan evolution, and SSS after complete Titan bloodline awakening 2 3 9 12 33 96 101 160.
• Rock and Earth Concealment — ultimately SSS rank: Originally D-, improves to D+ during hatching, C- by its Six-star Black Iron stage, B- after its first evolution, B+ and then A during later Silver Rank development, S after Earth Titan evolution, and SSS after complete Titan bloodline awakening 2 3 12 33 96 99 101 160.
• Scouts routes through unstable swamp ground, warns of nearby creatures, and locates concealed enemies or burrows 8 10 16 19.
• Can remain active for long periods before requiring a lengthy rest 19.
• Its improved perception allows it to detect unusual activity nearby even while carrying Jiang Ziliu through Earth Space Evasion 60.

Rock and Earth Sneak Stab

C+ rank after its first evolution; later A+, before its attack skill is listed as Earth Subterranean Spike. A learned attack developed by repeatedly practicing underground blade ambushes 8 33 96 101.

• Emerges from soil or rock to stab an enemy, then withdraws underground before repositioning 8 9.
• First appears on the panel at D- rank and later reaches D+ before its bloodline evolution 8 12.
• Supplies the offensive ability its original skill set lacked, turning its mobility and concealment into an assassin-style fighting method 8.
• Used to eliminate goblin ranged attackers and attack hostile Lightning Snakes 9 45.
• Reaches A+ during its later Silver Rank development 96 99.
• Following Earth Titan evolution, the panel lists Earth Subterranean Spike — S rank in place of Rock and Earth Sneak Stab. This skill supports surprise attacks from the spatial dimension and later reaches SSS 101 108 160.
• Uses concealed rock-spike attacks and gravity to devastate Silver Rank beasts digging toward Lady White’s transformation chamber 123.

Saber Mastery

Originally D- rank; ultimately SSS+. Acquired through repeated combat rather than inherited as an initial skill 12 160.

• Practices slashes, weapon-breaking strikes, and decapitations against isolated goblins under Jiang Ziliu’s direction 9.
• Enables it to fight some Black Iron beasts head-on rather than relying entirely on surprise attacks 12.
• Receives a suitable saber technique manual from Li Qingcheng, who judges its weapon handling superior to that of some human practitioners 30.
• Does not improve during its first earth-related evolution because it is unrelated to the earth attribute; further advancement requires deeper practice 33.
• Later uses sustained, precise blade attacks to prevent an elven pursuer from removing a drugged needle, summoning beasts, or using a shadow-entry skill 50.
• Reaches A+ by Eight-star Silver and S- before its Earth Titan evolution 96 99.
• Hones ambushes and underhanded attacks to consummate proficiency in the Forging Throne’s illusion battlefields, contributing substantially to Jiang Ziliu’s successful missions 108.
• Reaches SSS+ after complete Titan bloodline awakening 160.

Rock and Earth Avatar

Originally S- rank; evolves into SSS-grade Earth Avatar and ultimately reaches SSS+. Awakened through its Dwarf Titan bloodline; fundamentally a rock-and-soil control ability, not merely a transformation 33 45 101 160.

• Freely manipulates stone and soil within its controllable range 33.
• Gathers surrounding material around its body to form a giant avatar resembling itself 33.
• Reassembles the avatar after damage as long as its internal control remains uninterrupted and its power is not exhausted 33.
• Forms an avatar nearly 10 meters tall during its first underground test; the confined cavern prevents it from demonstrating a form twice that size 33.
• At Two-star Bronze Rank, forms an avatar nearly 50 meters tall that can withstand a concerted assault by dozens of tanks 43.
• Can immobilize and crush underground enemies directly, as demonstrated against three Earth-Burrowing Poison Scorpions 45.
• Remains vulnerable to abilities that specifically counter it; reconstruction is not unlimited 33.
• Improves to S after consuming Water of Life and later to S+ during Silver Rank development 52 96.
• Evolves into Earth Avatar — SSS rank with the Earth Titan bloodline 101.
• Combines with Gravity Manipulation to turn an enemy into a gravitational center, drawing surrounding rock and soil inward to crush it 124.
• Can attack with rock and soil from another layer of space, as demonstrated when crushing the Thousand-Footed Leaf-Patterned Centipede 125.
• Reaches SSS+ with the complete Titan bloodline 160.

Dwarf Titan Bloodline and Physical Strength

Initially 1.2% concentration at D- rank; later evolves into an Earth Titan bloodline and then a complete Titan bloodline. Its first awakening transforms the beast’s long-term potential without immediately raising its life tier 33 101 160.

• Grants Rock and Earth Avatar and contributes to tremendous physical strength 33 43.
• At Two-star Bronze Rank, it can lift objects weighing nearly 200 tons and punch a large crater into the ground, causing a small earth tremor 43.
• Jiang Ziliu initially estimates its evolved potential at A rank or possibly quasi-S rank, with a possible future ceiling of peak Silver or Gold Rank. These are projections at the time of its first evolution, not attained ranks at that stage 33.
• Water of Life raises the bloodline to D+ grade, with Chapter 52 reporting 1.8% concentration; the subsequent spatial-awakening panel lists 1.6% at the same grade 52 56.
• Concentration later reaches 12.3%, then 56.7% at A grade, before stalling at 69.9% at A+ 61 96 99.
• The Earth Titan evolution replaces the Dwarf Titan bloodline with 10.3% Earth Titan bloodline — S- rank, bringing higher potential, advanced earth abilities, and a Six-star Gold life level 101.
• At that stage, A Kun remains an Earth Titan subspecies rather than a full-blooded Earth Titan. A true complete-bloodline Earth Titan is described as Silver Rank at birth and potentially capable of reaching Demigod level or higher 100.
• Its later Complete Titan Bloodline — SSS+ rank changes its race to Azurite Titan and combines complete Titan abilities and potential with the original advantages of the Azurite Rock Man 160.

Mutated Spirituality

Initially D+; evolves into Intelligent Spirituality and ultimately reaches SSS. First awakened through a Soul-Cleansing Mushroom 10 101 160.

• Improves its spirituality and supports the learning and refinement of skills 10 33.
• Its unusual intelligence is noticed by Li Qingcheng during saber demonstrations 30.
• Reaches C+ after its first bloodline evolution. At that stage, humanlike intelligence and speech remain possibilities Jiang Ziliu hopes to develop rather than confirmed abilities 33.
• Water of Life raises Mutated Spirituality to B+ 52.
• By Four-star Silver, its wisdom and thinking are comparable to those of a five- or six-year-old human child 69.
• Establishing a soul channel allows direct, clear exchange of thoughts with Jiang Ziliu, replacing their earlier, vague communication 74.
• Reaches A- during later Silver Rank cultivation, when A Kun can already perform independent tasks and handle many situations itself 96 99.
• Evolves into Intelligent Spirituality — S- rank after Earth Titan evolution. A Kun gains the intellect of a true intelligent life-form and begins speaking aloud, rapidly becoming more fluent with practice 101.
• Reaches SSS with the complete Titan bloodline 160.

Earth Space Evasion

Initially unawakened; awakens at A+, later reaches S+, and ultimately Demigod Rank. A composite earth-and-space ability that becomes one of A Kun’s principal survival and ambush skills 43 56 101 160.

• In its latent description, would allow escape through earth-attribute Dark Energy spaces containing the power of the earth 3.
• Requires sufficient bodily toughness and space-related resources to awaken 27.
• Awakening it grants the space attribute in addition to earth 27 56.
• Is exceptionally rare among the species, with an awakening probability stated as possibly below one in ten thousand 3.
• Awakens after a three-day transformation involving a spatial headband and pot heaven black abyss mud. The headband’s internal space is destroyed, while the mud remains reusable after purification 56.
• At A+, allows entry into the subspace domain and movement through it wherever rock exists, functioning as an advanced counterpart to Rock and Earth Evasion 56.
• Can initially carry three Bronze Rank living beings at once. A test carrying Jiang Ziliu between peaks at least three kilometers apart consumes nearly half its Dark Energy 57.
• Powerful enemies can still force it out of earth-space. The dream butterfly’s domain exposes A Kun, and Jiang Ziliu’s later illusion trials motivate a goal of raising the skill to at least SSS 92 98.
• Reaches S+ through the Earth Titan bloodline evolution, supporting attacks launched directly from the spatial dimension 101 108.
• Reaches Demigod Rank after complete Titan bloodline awakening; Jiang Ziliu also receives Demigod Rank earth-space evasion through feedback 160 161.

Excavation

• Can use its earth manipulation to construct stable tunnels even before acquiring Rock and Earth Avatar 20.
• Excavation outside its established skills costs three to ten times as much Dark Energy as a normal skill 20.
• Takes two days, with recovery breaks and beast-core feeding, to complete a 500-meter passage beneath the ruined battlefield’s maze domain 20.
• Later bores through 10 meters of rock in a day and a half and digs a backup escape passage during an enemy pursuit 32 44.
• Uses its underground mobility for resource extraction, retrieving a Soul Crystal sealed 19 meters inside rock and later collecting large quantities of Elemental Crystals with a spatial orb 63 81.

Gravity Manipulation

Initially SS- rank; ultimately SSS. An advanced earth-type skill acquired through the Earth Titan bloodline 101 160.

• Controls planetary gravity 101.
• A Kun also demonstrates control over its own weight, becoming light enough for Jiang Ziliu to hold despite its naturally immense heaviness 101.
• Combines with Earth Avatar to compress enemies within surrounding rock and soil 124.
• Supports its mass ambush of the beasts attempting to reach Lady White’s transformation chamber 123.

Earth's Tremor and Roar of the Earth

• Earth’s Tremor — S rank: Acquired through the Earth Titan bloodline; creates powerful earthquakes with extensive area-destructive force 101.
• Roar of the Earth — SSS rank: Appears in the corresponding position on A Kun’s skill panel after complete Titan bloodline awakening 160.

Borrowing Strength from the Earth

Initially S rank; ultimately SSS. An Earth Titan bloodline ability that draws power from the earth beneath A Kun’s feet 101 160.

• Grants immense pure physical strength while it stands on the earth 101.
• Substantially increases its physical destructive power beyond the strength already supplied by its body and bloodline 101.

Latest Documented Skill Panel

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Initial short blade — Supplied by Jiang Ziliu for underground ambushes. Its compact size avoids the vegetation that could entangle longer weapons in the swamp instance 8.
• Earth-attribute short blade — Forged by Jiang Yuan with assistance from Jiang Ziliu’s mother. Made using red-veined steel rock and special filler; its attribute makes it easier to control and less costly to carry through earth than the original metal-attribute blade 11.
• Saber technique manual — Given by Li Qingcheng to guide further weapon training 30.
• Venomous centipedes — Deployed covertly against a bandit whose nearby beast had a keen sense of danger, avoiding a direct underground strike 36.
• Drug-coated needle — Held while concealed underground during the ambush of the elven spy; used as part of Jiang Ziliu’s coordinated capture plan 50.
• S-rank battle saber — Forged by Jiang Ziliu after his concealed forging ability reaches the level needed to produce S-rank equipment 69.
• Spatial orb — Used to transport mined Elemental Crystals. Jiang Ziliu later has A Kun bind an orb containing travel supplies before its independent journey to retrieve an Earth Titan’s Beast Core 81 99.
• S-grade earth-and-rock/metal treasured saber — Handed to A Kun for an ambush against a concealed Undead Race enemy 108.

Relationships

Its favorability rises from 80% after hatching to 95% at Two-star Bronze Rank, then 99% at Nine-star Bronze. Their soul channel raises affinity to 100%, permits direct mental conversation, and leads Jiang Ziliu to name it Kun 3 8 32 43 61 74.
• Mutated Lightning Snake / Lady White — Fellow contracted beast. Initially guards Jiang Ziliu while the Azurite Rock Man scouts and handles most instance battles; later serves as the main offensive force alongside its reconnaissance and assassination role. A Kun subsequently protects her transformation by intercepting the beasts attracted to her dragon blood 8 12 27 74 123 125.
