Wang Chong
Wang Chong is the name of the Seven Stars Sect disciple and public identity possessed by Du Ge during his first Alien Star Battlefield. Beginning as the third senior brother of a nearly destroyed minor sect, he turns the Seven Stars Sect into a mass-investment enterprise, creates a spiritual-power redistribution alliance, subdues Yan Country's cultivation establishment, and ends the battlefield in under six months. The name later becomes shorthand across several planets for Du Ge's fast-expansion strategy and willingness to divide survival resources among different civilizations (Chapters 190, 200, 259–260, 308, 365–375, 422).
Biography
Possession and the Seven Stars recovery
Wang Chong's body begins as the unnamed third senior brother of the Seven Stars Sect, a mid-Qi Refining disciple preparing to abandon the mountain after Tianlan Valley kills his master and scatters the sect. Du Ge's possession reverses that decision. Plunder and Noble offer incompatible-looking paths, but taking the dying eldest brother's Sect Leader token lets him satisfy both: he seizes authority while relieving a crushed successor of responsibility. He then keeps Guan Xuan and the seventh junior brother from surrendering, making preservation of the sect the moral cover for aggressive growth (Chapters 190–194).
The body is initially too weak to confront Tianlan Valley openly, so Wang Chong treats keyword growth as his immediate defense. He takes the Yellow Dragon Pill, studies the touch requirement of Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose, and risks severe wounds to disarm and strip a seven-man night assault. Plundering stronger opponents and standing between them and his fellow disciples rapidly strengthens him, while the captured attackers provide both proof that the sect can survive and a deterrent against further raids. The victory convinces him that spectacle, controlled risk, and visible protection can make Plunder and Noble reinforce each other (Chapters 195–198).
Instead of relying on the captured loot, Wang Chong reorganizes the sect around public investment. He introduces himself by name to nearby villagers, values Seven Stars Mountain as a business, sells shares, promises future dividends, and makes captured Tianlan disciples demonstrate that the investment has protection. Construction wages, transparent income notices, contract trading, and rising stock prices give commoners immediate benefits while transferring their savings and attention into the sect. The arrangement is coercive in its momentum but not a simple theft: Wang Chong needs the investors to prosper enough to bind their fortunes, labor, and goodwill to his own expansion (Chapters 199–204).
Tianlan Valley and the mutual-aid model
Once the financial system raises his attributes and his cultivation reaches peak Qi Refining, Wang Chong attacks Tianlan Valley before its master can form a Golden Elixir. He relies on speed and touch rather than superior technique, accepting wounds to seize weapons, limbs, clothing, and spiritual power from Foundation Establishment cultivators. More importantly, he immediately transfers captured power into weaker defectors. “Equal in cultivation, equal in talent” turns the valley's hierarchy against itself: disciples who had spent years advancing slowly receive instant gains, while elders see Wang Chong protect followers in battle and preserve severed limbs for later reattachment (Chapters 205–210).
The conquest changes Wang Chong from a desperate sect leader into the organizer of a repeatable power economy. He spares Xu Heming, learns Tianlan Valley's cultivation manual, breaks through by drawing on the captive's accumulated spiritual power, and promises to return greater power once stronger contributors are found. His generosity remains calculated—those who accept benefits become allies, labor, and future recruiters—but he repeatedly spends his own reserves on followers and refuses to abandon the junior disciples who enabled his victory. This blend of coercion, protection, and upward mobility earns genuine loyalty even from people he has mutilated (Chapters 211–215).
When the Danyang branch of the Supervisory Institution tries to expose him as a body possessor, Wang Chong turns its realm advantage into another recruitment opportunity. He takes the Golden Elixir headmaster hostage, protects the seventh junior brother during the confrontation, condenses his own Golden Elixir from the captured spiritual power, and proposes an offensive-and-defensive alliance rather than destroying the office. The institution restores legal protection to Seven Stars Mountain, its spirit stones and flying techniques improve his mobility, and its cultivators become the first official layer of what develops into the Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance (Chapters 216–222).
Medicine, goodwill, and the hunt for rivals
Wang Chong approaches the Medical Immortal Sect because his touch-based fighting method leaves allies and enemies dismembered, while physicians can repair them and give his redistribution system social legitimacy. He presents limb removal and spiritual-power extraction as an incomplete Seven Stars medical inheritance, offers its benefits to the physicians, and accepts a junior-disciple position under Li Anjiang. Once admitted, he uses patients with otherwise untreatable conditions as both medical cases and sources of power, extracting poison, restoring bodies, and raising the sect's elders toward the peaks of their existing realms (Chapters 223–229).
The alliance is not limited to elite cultivation. Wang Chong pushes the Medical Immortal Sect to build public health records, train more physicians, offer treatment among commoners, and use the Seven Stars shareholder network to find patients and potential organ donors. These programs expand Noble by making him a benefactor to whole communities, while the medical sect, Tianlan disciples, and supervisory officials acquire enough shared interest to defend the system. His status within the Medical Immortal Sect rises beyond that of an ordinary disciple, yet he refuses formal leadership posts that would reveal too abrupt a change to rival Alien Star warriors (Chapters 225–230).
Wang Chong then begins eliminating exposed competitors before they can acquire comparable native power. He identifies Dan Cong, whose written characters can restrain high-realm cultivators, survives the scholar's defenses, and keeps him alive as a controlled partner. Treating Dan Cong's abilities as useful but never trustworthy, Wang Chong removes his limbs when leaving him unattended, restores them when work is required, and uses the resulting characters to strengthen weapons and prepare traps. He also leaks the top-ten identities through Yan Country, turning native institutions into a search force and forcing otherwise cautious contestants to react on his timetable (Chapters 230–239).
Supervisory rule and world unification
Dan Cong's “Forbidden” characters and Wang Chong's captured officials make the national Supervisory Institution vulnerable from within. Wang Chong ambushes its returning Void Refinement experts, persuades them that mutual power redistribution can elevate the institution above the prestigious sects, and then traps Director Liu Xuanmin at his retreat. He attacks the director's pride, lifespan, and frustrated ambition rather than relying only on torture, eventually obtaining surrender and drawing enough spiritual power to merge his Elemental Infant with his body. The supervisory hierarchy then becomes the enforcement arm for a plan to place every sect under common regulation (Chapters 239–246).
With official protection secured, Wang Chong expands shares, loans, presale housing, and sect listings throughout Yan Country. The same system that gives commoners work and future homes also captures present savings, future labor, and decades of debt, causing his Plunder attributes to rise continuously. Rival warriors respond by destroying projects, manipulating markets, and inciting panic, but the collapse strengthens Wang Chong rather than reversing his gains: the wealth already taken remains reflected in his body, while the crisis exposes his enemies and justifies direct intervention by the alliance (Chapters 247–249, 254–258).
Wang Chong uses Mahayana cultivators, Dan Cong's restraints, and his own overwhelming speed to absorb Lan Ning Temple, the Heavenly Demon Palace, Bihai Palace, and the remaining major powers. He neutralizes hostile leaders by removing limbs and organs, applying medical treatment to generate goodwill, replenishing their spiritual power, and incorporating them into the same benefits structure. By combining redistribution with irresistible force, he eliminates the division between righteous and demonic sects, brings mortal rulers into the arrangement, and makes the supervisory system function as a world government rather than a minor regulator (Chapters 249–259).
After unification, Wang Chong rejects both permanent rule and a prolonged search for ascension. His priority is ending the battlefield safely while denying Pan-Universal Entertainment the expected spectacle of indiscriminate planetary competition. He announces a ten-planet resource distribution, uses health checks and a recruited Scout keyword user to locate hidden warriors, tests their home planets, and arranges the final ten positions. The resulting purge concludes the battlefield in less than six months, while survivors from other planets leave with a practical reason to trust the identity that spared and rewarded them (Chapters 259–260).
A name that outlives the body
Du Ge's recall ends Wang Chong's active career at the moment the body is at its strongest. The perfected host remains behind, and even Du Ge does not learn what becomes of it. What returns with him is selective: the cultivation, accumulated physical attributes, and Acting in Heaven's Stead remain tied to the battlefield state, while Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose, At One's Beck and Call, and Benevolent Healer remain available to Du Ge. This separation makes Wang Chong both a distinct abandoned body and one of Du Ge's continuing public identities (Chapters 260–262, 313).
The reputation changes later battlefields before Du Ge announces who he is. Other contestants study Wang Chong's ascent through the Seven Stars Sect, Medical Immortal Sect, and Supervisory Institution, accelerate their own strategies to avoid being overwhelmed, and use his six-month victory as the standard for an uncontrollable fast push. Contestants from planets that received resources respond differently: Wu Chang, Huang Liang, and Nobu become willing to cooperate once they recognize the name, and Nobu explicitly identifies Wang Chong, Leng Shi, and King Holly as the same Du Ge. The identity therefore becomes a cross-planet trust signal as well as a warning (Chapters 308, 337, 347, 351, 365–375, 421–422).
Appearance and personality
Wang Chong is a young male cultivator whose body begins at the Qi Refining stage; no distinctive facial features are associated with the identity. He later wears the robes of the Medical Immortal Sect, but his escalating offices do not produce a grand ceremonial image. He most often meets villagers, physicians, captives, and officials with a smile, a clasped-hands greeting, and conspicuous courtesy even when he is about to coerce them (Chapters 190, 200, 209, 223–225, 239, 244–245).
His manner combines audacity with extreme calculation. Wang Chong willingly accepts wounds when regeneration and a successful touch make the exchange favorable, but avoids uncontrolled risks, tests abilities before relying on them, and disables Dan Cong whenever the scholar could turn on him. He frames ruthless actions as protection, medicine, investment, or shared advancement, yet repeatedly follows through by healing former enemies and returning power to allies. The result is neither simple benevolence nor hypocrisy: he consciously makes visible generosity the mechanism that converts seizure into durable loyalty (Chapters 196, 204, 210–211, 226, 237–245, 259).
Keywords, skills, and cultivation
Plunder and Noble
Plunder is Wang Chong's primary keyword. Taking possessions, authority, wealth, power, territory, or other meaningful value increases his attributes, with greater and more consequential seizures producing much larger gains than ordinary theft. Small items such as a pill or token provide little improvement, while taking control of sects, investments, national wealth, and future debt causes exponential physical enhancement. The main limitations are practical and political: plunder requires an available target and enough force or leverage to complete the taking, conspicuous predation creates enemies, and attacking helpless commoners would undermine the Noble path he wants to cultivate alongside it (Chapters 190–192, 195, 199–204, 247, 254–259).
Noble develops through courage, responsibility, generosity, moral stature, and the sincere admiration those actions inspire. It is harder for Wang Chong to perform consistently because its demands often conflict with opportunistic plunder, but he joins the two through “noble plunder”: seize from strong institutions, assume responsibility for followers, and redistribute enough benefit that the affected community advances with him. Protecting disciples, forgiving enemies, funding medical access, and sharing battlefield resources all strengthen this keyword. The need for authentic admiration is an important restraint; merely declaring himself righteous is insufficient unless others recognize protection or benefit in his conduct (Chapters 190–192, 196, 210–211, 223–229, 259–260).
Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose
Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose is the first Plunder-derived advanced skill. Anything that passes through Wang Chong's hands must lose something to him. A specified target lets him take the chosen possession or body part on contact; without a target, the result is random. The effect applies to living beings, plants, weapons, clothing, organs, hair, poison within blood, and other separable things. He uses it to disarm cultivators, remove limbs before they can retaliate, extract a patient's poison, perform instant surgery, and break Dan Cong's manifested characters (Chapters 192–196, 204–210, 226, 231–237).
The ability's decisive limitation is touch. Faster opponents, flying cultivators, ranged weapons, and overwhelming realm pressure can keep his hands away, forcing him to build speed, accept injury, use restraints, or exploit distraction. A touched target can also counterattack while another skill drains power, and a spiritually bound weapon may return to its original owner after being taken. The compulsory taking can be dangerous outside combat because releasing a harmless touch may still remove clothing, an organ, or a limb. Du Ge retains this skill after leaving Wang Chong's body and consequently avoids casual physical contact on Qi Yuan Star (Chapters 193, 196, 204, 209–210, 218, 231, 260–262).
Acting in Heaven's Stead
Acting in Heaven's Stead is the second Plunder-derived skill. Through sustained physical contact, Wang Chong can draw power from someone stronger than himself and add it to his own reserves; he can then transfer his power to someone weaker to remedy that person's deficiency. The direction is conditional rather than freely reversible: a weaker target cannot be harvested by this skill, and a stronger recipient cannot be elevated with it. Contact must be maintained, so resistance can interrupt the flow, and Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose triggers at the same time whenever his hand leaves the target (Chapters 204, 207–211).
Wang Chong turns the skill into the foundation of the Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance. Captured experts supply spiritual power, he uses their cultivation methods and accumulated energy to cross realm bottlenecks, and weaker allies are raised to the peak of their current realm before attempting their own breakthroughs. This saves centuries of accumulation but does not automatically supply understanding, a compatible technique, or a successful breakthrough; several followers still need seclusion, spirit stones, and personal aptitude. Acting in Heaven's Stead does not remain with Du Ge after recall, and without Wang Chong's battlefield body the organized redistribution system ceases to be personally accessible (Chapters 207–211, 218–229, 245–247, 259–262).
At One's Beck and Call and Benevolent Healer
At One's Beck and Call, also introduced as the charisma-based call to arms, gives a high chance that people captivated by Wang Chong's personal charisma will heed his summons. It helps explain why Tianlan disciples and later officials join him after seeing him take risks, protect followers, and promise advancement. It is not unconditional mind control: the target must first be impressed, the wording specifies probability rather than certainty, and enemies who distrust his motives can resist or feign cooperation. Wang Chong therefore reinforces the skill with demonstrated benefits, shared interests, and overwhelming leverage rather than relying on the call alone (Chapters 210–211, 226, 229, 240–245).
Benevolent Healer makes people Wang Chong has saved harbor goodwill toward him. “Saved” is broader than medical treatment, covering rescue from danger and life-changing aid as well as poison extraction, surgery, or restored cultivation. It pairs with At One's Beck and Call because saved targets become more receptive to his leadership, allowing former captives and patients to become durable allies. Goodwill does not erase thought, suspicion, or conflicting goals, so Wang Chong still restrains Dan Cong and tests surrendered officials. Both social skills remain with Du Ge after recall and preserve part of Wang Chong's coalition-building method beyond the original body (Chapters 226–229, 237, 252, 259–262, 297).
Cultivation, attributes, and battlefield body
Wang Chong's host begins at mid-Qi Refining with an incomplete Seven Stars technique. Keyword-enhanced talent lets him reach the peak rapidly, after which captured manuals, spirit stones, and Acting in Heaven's Stead carry the body through Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, Elemental Infant, Divine Transformation, Void Refinement, Body Fusion, and Mahayana cultivation. These gains are extraordinarily compressed and partly borrowed: they depend on suitable higher-realm contributors and on the techniques needed to interpret each next state, rather than ordinary mastery accumulated over centuries (Chapters 195–196, 202, 211, 218, 221, 229, 245, 253–259).
Attribute growth ultimately matters more than cultivation alone. National-scale plunder gives the body extreme speed, hearing, strength, defense, recovery, and talent; ordinary flying swords stop cutting it, Body Fusion experts cannot keep pace, and Mahayana attacks eventually cease to cause meaningful harm. Near the end, his absorption of ambient spiritual power prevents nearby Mahayana cultivators from cultivating, and his divine sense covers a vast area. None of this physical state returns to Qi Yuan Star with Du Ge: the perfected host is left behind when his soul is recalled (Chapters 221, 238, 247, 250–259, 261–262, 313).
Medicine, organization, and tactics
Wang Chong is not originally trained as a physician, but Plucking Feathers gives him surgical precision that the Medical Immortal Sect cannot duplicate. Under its physicians he learns to preserve and reattach limbs, remove and replace organs, extract toxins, and use treatment as both a practical repair system and a social strategy. His medical expertise remains dependent on the instant separation skill, experienced healers, spiritual power, and a setting where severe injuries can be repaired; the same methods would risk permanent disability on Qi Yuan Star (Chapters 223–229, 237, 251–252, 259, 262).
His broader specialty is systems-building. Wang Chong connects public finance, propaganda, health administration, cultivation redistribution, official enforcement, and keyword surveillance so that each institution supplies what another lacks. He also excels at finding operational limits: testing whether touch can remove poison, recognizing the probability restriction on Dan Cong's characters, using blood-healing speed to identify Alien Star warriors, and refusing risky attempts to create an “Immortal” character or reopen ascension. These decisions favor controlled, rapid victory over unexplored power with catastrophic consequences (Chapters 199–204, 226–241, 247, 250, 259–260).
Relationships
- Du Ge: Du Ge is the possessing soul behind Wang Chong's actions and later acknowledges Wang Chong as one of his own identities. His recall separates the continuing person from the abandoned body, while three of the identity's advanced skills remain with him (Chapters 190, 260–262, 313, 422).
- Guan Xuan: Guan Xuan's despair helps persuade Du Ge to remain in the Seven Stars Sect. Wang Chong restores her hope, protects her inheritance, raises her cultivation, and makes her one of the earliest beneficiaries and witnesses of his transformation of the sect (Chapters 190–194, 200–202, 218–221, 247).
- Seventh Junior Brother: Initially a deserter whom Wang Chong forcibly returns to the sect, he becomes a devoted lieutenant after Wang Chong repeatedly protects him and transfers cultivation to him. His intervention against the Danyang headmaster creates the opening for Wang Chong to form a Golden Elixir (Chapters 193–194, 207–211, 218).
- Xu Heming: Xu Heming begins as the Tianlan Valley master responsible for Seven Stars Sect's ruin. Wang Chong defeats and mutilates him, then spares him, uses his manual and spiritual power, promises later repayment, and converts him into an early contributor to the mutual-aid model (Chapters 209–211, 218–229).
- Li Anjiang: Li Anjiang accepts Wang Chong into the Medical Immortal Sect because his extraction skills could transform medicine and cultivation. Wang Chong raises the sect's senior members, expands its social mission, and becomes more influential than its formal leader without taking the title (Chapters 224–230).
- Dan Cong: Dan Cong is a dangerous rival whose word-based powers become essential to Wang Chong's assault on higher-realm institutions. Their cooperation mixes preservation, coercion, medical restoration, and genuine benefit; Dan Cong survives with second place and becomes one of the people who carry Wang Chong's resource-sharing reputation to another planet (Chapters 231–260, 365–373).
Items
- Seven Stars Sect Leader token: Wang Chong takes the token from the incapacitated eldest senior brother, using the seizure to claim responsibility for the sect and to support his explanation for the extraordinary techniques that follow (Chapters 190–194).
- Yellow Dragon Pill: Guan Xuan's treasured pill is one of Wang Chong's first acts of plunder. He consumes it to strengthen the host before Tianlan Valley's attack, although it raises his spiritual power by only about one tenth and leaves him in mid-Qi Refining (Chapters 190, 195–196).
- Investment contracts and stocks: Contracts represent shares in Seven Stars Mountain and become the mechanism through which Wang Chong takes public wealth, pays construction wages, creates trading venues, and binds investors to the sect's future. Later loans and presale agreements extend the same mechanism across Yan Country (Chapters 199–203, 215, 221, 247–259).
- Enchanted flying sword: Dan Cong inscribes Wang Chong's ordinary flying sword with characters that improve firmness, sharpness, and speed. The enhancements make it one of the few weapons capable of cutting Wang Chong's strengthened body and give him the acceleration needed for attacks on Void Refinement and higher-realm cultivators (Chapters 237–239, 247–252).
