Background / History

School and Family

Chen Kai is one of the top students in his class and comes from a well-off family. He studies the battle specialty and hopes to become a professional Beast Tamer. Finding his classmates too weak to pressure him, he seeks opponents outside school 17 20 24.

First Battle with Shi Yu

Chen Kai enters a random wager match at the Ping City Battle Venue and is paired with Shi Yu on battlefield 11. Confident in his school standing and his Ice Armor Beast’s offensive and defensive skills, he initially expects little difficulty against an opponent his own age 17 18.

His confidence collapses when Eleven withstands Ice Crack Claw, shatters the Ice Armor Beast’s armor, and knocks it unconscious with one counterattack. Chen Kai is particularly frustrated that the fight ends before he gains any meaningful training. As the loser, he must pay both contestants’ arena fees and take his pet to the infirmary 19 20.

White Creek Village Mission

After treating his pet, Chen Kai visits the Beast Tamer Association to find a training mission. He eagerly offers to join Shi Yu’s Earth-Burrowing Rat extermination job, hoping to observe how Shi Yu raises Eleven. He recruits Zhuang Yue and asks her to bring a Beast Tamer with a control-type pet, completing the party with Yu Jingjing 21 22.

At White Creek Village, Chen Kai clears seven rats before lunch, compared with Eleven’s twenty-two. Watching Eleven continue sprint training while the other pets rest convinces him to intensify his own pet’s routine and buy Mind-Clearing Capsules for late-night study 24 25.

A yellow beast tide warning interrupts the mission. Chen Kai and the others return to Ping City, where Teacher Zhang reassures them about the city’s defenses and recounts an unconfirmed legend involving an ancient ice dragon 26.

Tianmang Mountain Assessment

Chen Kai reunites with Shi Yu at the wilderness practical combat assessment, now sporting dark circles under his eyes. His Ice Armor Beast has reached level seven, but he is less certain of his standing after encountering Shi Yu’s strength 36 37.

He invites Shi Yu to join his classmates’ planned hunt for a Berserk Python, offering his Ice Armor Beast as crowd control. Shi Yu declines because he has another target, and Chen Kai enters the mountain with his classmates 38.

Afterward, Chen Kai sees Shi Yu ranked first with 20,000 points and wonders why their gap seems to have widened despite his hard work. He tells his classmates that his own rapid improvement followed Shi Yu’s advice to buy Mind-Clearing Capsules, prompting them to consider the supplements as well 46.

Appearance

• Wears glasses and a blue-and-white school uniform when first introduced 17.
• Develops conspicuous dark circles after adopting his more demanding training and study routine; Shi Yu compares his appearance to an Iron-Eating Beast 36 37.

Personality

Chen Kai begins as a confident, competitive honors student who believes few peers can challenge him. Although he actively seeks pressure from stronger opponents, his instant defeat by Eleven leaves him embarrassed and concerned about his reputation when Zhuang Yue reveals that she witnessed it 17 18 19 22.

He responds to defeat by seeking practical ways to improve rather than avoiding Shi Yu. He organizes a mission party to study Eleven’s training firsthand and commits enthusiastically to harder work. His determination can become excessive: he imitates the pair’s intensity despite Shi Yu explaining that they are unusual exceptions 21 25 37.

Abilities & Skills

Ice Armor Beast

Chen Kai’s contracted pet is an ice-attribute, Mid-Level Transcendent species resembling a pangolin. At its introduction, it is nearly a meter long, with icy-blue scales, short thick limbs, a long tail, and a cone-shaped head 18.

• Ice Armor — Defensive armor with frost power capable of freezing enemies. Initially trained to Proficient Level, but shattered by Eleven’s hardened counterattack 18 19.
• Ice Crack Claw — A frost-powered claw attack, also at Proficient Level during the arena match. It fails to penetrate Eleven’s Expert Level Hardening 18 19.
• Digging — Skilled enough that Chen Kai considers pursuing an Earth-Burrowing Rat underground feasible; given time, the beast can bore through an iceberg 23.
• Crowd control — Chen Kai offers this role for his classmates’ planned Berserk Python hunt 38.

Team Coordination and Field Knowledge

• Proposes a four-person rat-hunting party with separate control, aggro-drawing, and damage-dealing roles 21.
• Recognizes that Earth-Burrowing Rats are easier to clear in teams and identifies a lone rat’s approximate level from its size 21 23.
• Understands the professional assessment’s special route for Awakening Stage pets capable of defeating Transcendent Level opponents 25.

Relationships

• Shi Yu — First an arena opponent, then a friend and training reference. Chen Kai seeks opportunities to work with him and credits his influence for the Ice Armor Beast’s improvement 21 26 37 38.
• Ice Armor Beast — His contracted pet and combat partner. Chen Kai raises its two racial skills to Proficient Level and later intensifies its training after observing Eleven 19 25 37.
• Zhuang Yue — His classmate, who witnesses his arena defeat and joins the White Creek Village mission after he recruits her 19 22.
• Yu Jingjing — Zhuang Yue’s friend and a fellow member of the rat-hunting party; her Thorn Monster supplies the control capability Chen Kai requested 22 23.
• Teacher Zhang — His schoolteacher and a professional Beast Tamer. Chen Kai turns to him for reliable information about the beast tide warning 26.
