Card ranks below describe Su Mu’s dungeon assets, not his personal level.

Background / History

Reincarnation and School Life

Su Mu came from Earth and was reborn from the womb after a car accident eighteen years before the awakening ceremony. His childhood familiarity with Journey to the West becomes his principal advantage: the story does not exist in his new world’s history 1 2.

Both of his parents are dead. After his uncle also died during a wilderness cleanup mission, his aunt raised Su Mu and his older female cousin alone, working in Alliance logistics by day and mending armor at night. Despite limited resources, Su Mu consistently excelled at school, outperforming Ye Qingxue in two major subjects for three years and never losing a practical dungeon-design simulation 1 8 34 40.

Awakening and Dungeon Construction

Su Mu’s ordinary stone core initially draws ridicule, while his theme awakening produces a spectacle of gods, buddhas, and demons. The resulting Journey to the West theme is classified as unique and Special rather than assigned a conventional rank 1 2.

He refuses research funding from three major groups because their agreement would surrender control of his dungeon and disclose his work. He also declines Ye Qingxue’s invitation to join her Ice and Snow World, choosing to develop his own theme independently 3.

His first construction establishes Flower-Fruit Mountain and upgrades the stone twice, but leaves him without an attacking creature. Recognizing that Sun Wukong requires a much longer developmental path, he selects a mountain-patrolling lesser demon as a more practical starting point. Recreating Little Drill Wind and Lion Camel Ridge gives him his first effective combat force 5 6 10 14 15.

School Trials and Wang Hao’s Wager

Su Mu enters the normal Goblin Camp trial alone to avoid splitting experience, then joins Li Ming for hard difficulty. Li Ming exhausts his biochemical soldiers clearing the fifth wave; Little Drill Wind handles the sixth wave and defeats the final goblin lord 20 21 26.

When Wang Hao mocks his intention to attempt nightmare difficulty, Su Mu turns their rivalry into a wager for a random-quality soul skill book. He must reach level 6 with more than 50% experience to win. Little Drill Wind clears ten waves, but sustains a serious shoulder wound against the assassin boss, prompting Su Mu to withdraw rather than risk another wave 27 29 36.

Su Mu publicly displays level 6 with 83% experience and claims the book. Opening it grants Years Like a Blade, a time-type skill widely considered impractical but particularly suited to cultivating his stone core 37 39 40.

First Wilderness Expedition

His aunt gives him 100,000 yuan for dungeon development. Su Mu purchases a Mountain Patrol Command Flag and an escape scroll, then uses meditation and detailed conceptual refinements to strengthen Little Drill Wind before leaving Rongcheng 40 41 42 43 44.

He chooses the Land of Buried Bones to gather skeletal materials for Lion Camel Ridge and a planned Lady White Bone. He also accepts a nightmare-difficulty collection task for the Burial Corpse King’s Core Soul Flame, worth one million Alliance coins and 500 official quest points. The reward could fund another soul skill and reduce his aunt’s financial burden 45 50.

Outside the city, Little Drill Wind hunts while Su Mu accumulates experience and the momentum needed to age his core stone. After reaching level 10, Su Mu hears people pursuing someone and threatening to destroy their core card. He moves toward a nearby instance while keeping Little Drill Wind away from the voices, then identifies a gray-white vortex as the activation of a Forced Battle Scroll 47 48 49 50.

Little Drill Wind kills the level-20 B-rank Many-Faced Man in three slashes. Su Mu has him collect the drops and run away from Su Mu’s position before using Forced Recall, then heads for the crowds at the Land of Buried Bones entrance. Shen Shishi, whom the Many-Faced Man had been hunting, later thanks Su Mu and gives him a Shadow Concealment Badge 53 65.

In the Land of Buried Bones, Su Mu collects skeletal materials and obtains an E-rank Burial Corpse King card as a foundation for White Bone Spirit. Intelligent skeletons expose a weakness in his dungeon by splitting their forces to attack his unprotected stone core. He subsequently develops White Bone Spirit as another combat creature 56 57 61 63.

Dungeon Farming with Ye Qingxue

After clearing all twenty waves of the nightmare Goblin Nest, Su Mu proposes farming the Land of Buried Bones with Ye Qingxue, combining her cooldown-clearing items with his creatures’ efficiency. They clear multiple difficulties, including Hell, and Ye Qingxue reaches level 15 earlier than expected 74 75 84 89.

Su Mu returns to Rongcheng, submits collection missions for 1,300 contribution points, and sells accumulated loot for 4.37 million Alliance Coins. Ye Qingxue later arranges to repay a debt with resources, including a random soul skill book, and to check whether she can obtain B-rank monster base-form cards for him 94 99.

College Entrance Examination

At the examination plaza, Su Mu sees the floating Dragon Gate and considers someday adapting a similar structure into the South Heaven Gate for his dungeon. He ranks first in the first round, clears nineteen waves in the second, and places first in the dungeon-design round. After three rounds, his overall score is 2,678,159 points 109 120 131 139.

For the design trial, Su Mu draws on his knowledge of Earth’s history and anchors a Great Wall and beacon towers to defend a territory against nomadic raiders. In the fourth round, he continues fighting on an ancient battlefield while using the abundant Momentum Points to cultivate his stone 133 134 144 145.

An evil soul attacks during the final assessment, and a Cult Evil Token prevents the proctors from entering the sealed realm. Su Mu survives the direct attack, although the proctors see his creature cards destroyed; Ye Qingxue stands in front of him with her wounded Snow Queen. Su Mu subsequently passes through the Dragon Gate and is congratulated by Yuan, a consciousness associated with the secret realm’s creation 152 154 157.

Su Mu tells his relieved aunt that he placed first in the province among nearly a million candidates. Universities compete to recruit him, and Tsinghua and Peking Universities offer exceptional training terms 166 170 171.

University in Capital

After spending his final days at home and strengthening the Golden-Winged Great Peng King, Su Mu leaves Rongcheng by teleportation array. He enrolls at Tsinghua and Peking Universities and receives a Zone C villa, a residence reserved for instructors and exceptional students 174 176.

At the university’s Nest Plaza, he repeatedly clears Spider Nest Deep Valley on Hell difficulty, breaking the dungeon record and attracting attention on the forum. He accepts a mission offering a Limit-Breaking Academy slot, reaches level 19 at 40% experience, and raises his core stone’s age beyond a thousand years 189.

Personality

Su Mu values independence and control over his work, rejecting both corporate funding with restrictive terms and a secure supporting role in Ye Qingxue’s dungeon. His confidence rests on preparation: Teacher Zhou describes him as someone who has never undertaken a dungeon design without being sure of it 3 35.

He is calculating rather than simply hotheaded. Recognizing Wang Hao’s behavior as a familiar villain routine from novels, he deliberately encourages his rival to propose and escalate a wager. He nevertheless recognizes practical limits, ending his nightmare run when Little Drill Wind’s injuries make continuing unsafe 11 28 36.

His ambition is closely tied to gratitude toward his family. He initially resists taking his aunt’s savings and later pursues the million-coin bounty partly so she will no longer need to work so hard 40 41 45 50.

He is cautious about becoming involved in other people’s conflicts. After the encounter with the Many-Faced Man, he separates Little Drill Wind from his own position before recalling him, and records Shen Shishi’s gift in case a dispute arises 53 65.

Abilities & Skills

Journey to the West Knowledge and Concept Anchoring

Su Mu uses remembered characters, locations, and narrative details to make dungeon elements resonate with his unique theme. Accurate names act as conceptual anchors; terrain, appearance, equipment, and ecological logic deepen their effects 2 5 6 43.

• Naming: Upgrades his core stone twice and transforms an E-rank lesser demon into A-rank Little Drill Wind 5 14.
• Environmental design: Builds Lion Camel Ridge’s mountain range, narrow entrance, hollow, and paths to strengthen its resident demon and support combat 15.
• Creature sculpting: Alters Little Drill Wind’s face, physique, posture, clothing, and weapon to better match his remembered identity 43 44.
• Historical design: In the examination’s separate design scenario, names rammed-earth walls the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li, raising them to S-rank, and turns simple lookout platforms into A-rank beacon towers 133 134.
• Limit: Names alone cannot produce a fully realized Sun Wukong. The stone also needs cultivation and a supporting world framework, including locations and structures beyond Flower-Fruit Mountain 5 6.
• Early vulnerability: His dungeon initially depends on one attacking creature; the stone core cannot fight, and no reserve creatures can replace Little Drill Wind if he falls 18. Wild nest monsters later exploit this weakness by splitting their forces to target the core 57.

Years Like a Blade

An S-rank time-type soul skill that initially advances a target’s age by one year per use. Su Mu applies it to the Stone Left Over from Mending Heaven to accelerate its maturation 39 40 48.

• Cost: 1,000 Momentum Points per activation 48.
• Fuel: Momentum comes from killing monsters; school trial runs do not supply the momentum he initially needs 41 45 144.
• First results: Repeated uses subtly deepen the stone’s patterns and spiritual light; eight applications advance it by eight years 49.
• Proficiency: The skill’s nonliving-target effect increases from one year to two at level 2. A later level-3 notification lists four years for nonliving targets, four days for living targets, and a six-minute cooldown, with consumption unchanged 60 184.
• Remaining requirement: Su Mu initially estimates that the stone needs at least 3,000–4,000 applications to mature sufficiently for Sun Wukong’s birth 48.
• Conventional drawback: Accelerated aging can damage ordinary dungeon assets, such as causing buildings to collapse sooner. Su Mu instead needs the passage of time for his developing core 39 40.

Other Soul Skills

• Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water — An S-rank soul skill that Su Mu uses to duplicate Years Like a Blade, accelerating his cultivation of the stone 82 144 184.
• World-Cleansing Radiance — An S-rank purification skill that removes negative statuses from one allied target without rank restrictions. It costs 500 Momentum Points, has a fifteen-minute cooldown, and cannot remove positive buffs or be used on enemies 103.

Meditation and Soul Power Recovery

Using the method taught by his cousin, Su Mu senses Soul Power with exceptional ease. His first session produces three successive gains of 50 points—far above the five-point recovery considered excellent for a beginner 43.

• Can replenish Soul Power after intensive construction and resume refining his dungeon 43 44.
• Suspects that his recovery operates as a percentage of maximum Soul Power; this remains his own interpretation 44.
• Later restores 210 Soul Power in one minute of meditation 169.

Summoning and Soul Link

Su Mu can summon Little Drill Wind into the outside world and share his senses through their Soul Link 47 50.

• Uses the demon to scout, fight, and hunt independently while he follows at a safer distance 47.
• Shares hearing and perspective to detect nearby human combat and observe a Forced Battle Scroll 50.
• Forced Recall: Retrieves Little Drill Wind from nearly two kilometers away; the recall weakens all of the demon’s attributes by 30% for thirty minutes 53.
• Limit: Little Drill Wind’s SSS-rank dungeon form is suppressed by three ranks to A-rank when summoned 49 50.

Appraisal

Uses Soul Power to inspect monsters and obtain their rank, level, attributes, skills, combat index, and descriptive notes. His first documented wilderness target is a level-10 D-rank Goblin Skirmisher 46.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Mountain Patrol Command Flag — Purchased as an F-rank equipment card for 20,000 yuan and assigned to Little Drill Wind. Its resonance with Lion Camel Ridge helps the demon reach S-rank 41 42.
• D-rank Forced Escape Scroll — Purchased for 5,000 yuan after a national subsidy as protection for his wilderness expedition 41.
• Random-quality soul skill book — Won from Wang Hao and consumed to acquire Years Like a Blade 37 39.
• Wilderness supplies — Carries compressed rations and a recovery potion, which he uses while resting before departure 45.
• Thousand-Faced Skin — A D-rank item obtained among the Many-Faced Man’s drops and used to develop White Bone Spirit’s appearances 55 56 63 96.
• Shadow Concealment Badge — Given by Shen Shishi and equipped to conceal his level and core-card details 65.
• Dungeon cooldown scrolls — Purchases and uses these to repeat university dungeon runs 189.

Relationships

• Li Ming — Best friend since their first year of high school. Offers practical support, teams with him for hard difficulty, and pledges his A-rank theme and core cards as collateral for the wager against Wang Hao 4 26 29.
• Ye Qingxue — Longstanding academic rival whom Su Mu repeatedly outscored. Invites him into her dungeon and defends him against Wang Hao, while insisting that she only values his design skills. They later farm dungeons together and fight through the college examination’s evil soul attack as teammates 1 3 12 34 75 152 174.
• Wang Hao — Hostile schoolmate resentful of Su Mu’s academic success and Ye Qingxue’s attention. Loses their wager and threatens retaliation afterward 11 12 37.
• Little Drill Wind — His first combat creature and main source of early fighting strength. Su Mu develops him from an E-rank lesser demon into an SSS-rank dungeon asset 13 14 49.
• White Bone Spirit — A combat creature developed from a Burial Corpse King card. She fights alongside Little Drill Wind and becomes an SSS-rank dungeon asset 61 63 96 105.
• Aunt — Guardian and financial supporter. Raises him alongside her daughter, reassures him after his awakening, and gives him 100,000 yuan from her savings. She is proud of his provincial first-place result and sees him off to university 40 41 166 174.
• Older female cousin — Entered Jinghua the previous year. Teaches Su Mu a meditation method and urges him to consolidate Soul Power before university 40 41 43.
• Teacher Zhou — Homeroom teacher for three years. Trusts his judgment despite doubting whether his early dungeon has enough raw strength for nightmare difficulty 35.
• Zhao Jianguo — School principal who recognizes Su Mu’s unusual thematic affinity and questions the assumption that he accepted Wang Hao’s wager impulsively 8 18 30.
• Shen Shishi — A young woman hunted by the Many-Faced Man. She thanks Su Mu for killing him and gives him a badge to protect his personal information 53 65.
• Xiu Buhui — An elder of the Great Xia Dungeon Master Association who places Su Mu’s records under the association’s highest-level control and thanks him for saving examinees during the ancient battlefield assessment 120 162.
