Chu Yong
Chu Yong is the imperial capital's leading young genius when he enters Archean Mountain's entrance examination. His powerful saber, black lightning, and carefully nurtured foundation make him an early benchmark for Meng Chuan's cohort, though the examination reveals stronger candidates and tempers his expectation of dominating the field. (Chapters 75–90)
Biography
Famous candidate and Archean disciple
Chu Yong arrives with a reputation that has circulated for seven years and cleaves through 191 assessment barriers with a large saber. He posts strong results in speed, reaction, and live combat, but watches Meng Chuan and Ji Yuantong surpass him in several tests. He silently recognizes that he is not the cohort's strongest candidate, yet continues through selection and is admitted in seventh place rather than withdrawing or challenging the result. (Chapters 75–90)
By Chapter 133, Chu Yong has already passed his Nine Mystical Caves trial and left Archean Mountain as an Indestructible Godfiend. The supplied corpus does not follow his battlefield assignment, advancement, or later personal life, so his status after that departure remains unknown. (Chapter 133)
Appearance and personality
Chu Yong is tall, wears black robes, and carries a large saber on his back. He is described as proud and initially expects to dominate the examination, but he reacts to his rivals' results with silence rather than public hostility. The corpus does not provide a fuller adult appearance or enough later scenes for a broader personality judgment. (Chapters 75, 78, and 82)
Abilities and cultivation
He reaches the Force realm as a mortal and has a Godfiend foundation roughly three times stronger than average, built with eight family treasures. Black water and lightning surround him when he attacks or moves. His saber strike and twelve-droplet tunnel result rank among the examination's best, while the later record establishes only that he becomes an Indestructible Godfiend; his exact Godfiend body formula and later technique realm are not stated here. (Chapters 75–79, 90, and 133)
Relationships
