Background / History

Mu Yawen is Yue Lingfeng's True Disciple and a combat enthusiast who regularly trains in Illusion Realm Trials against the remnants of Grandmasters and Great Demons. She has a burly, muscular build and bronze skin that distinguish her from cultivators who deliberately maintain slender physiques. Zhong Yi introduces her to Demonic Path Escape, which she then attempts alongside him and Li Moran. She enjoys the challenge but does not display Li Moran's exceptional performance; Zhong Yi nevertheless feels inferior to Mu Yawen's score and tries to conceal it. 10 12 96

She later becomes a frequent teammate of Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue across multiple Illusion games. Her earliest gameplay is marked by straightforward enthusiasm rather than technical mastery: she worries about Zhong Yi after he spends an entire night in Endless Mode, struggles to coordinate with him in War Mode, and is eliminated from Three Kingdoms Kill after misunderstanding its rules. 36 71 98

In the cultivation-survival illusion, Mu Yawen awakens a fifth-grade Fire Spirit Root after the group learns that sunlight-killed monsters drop Experience Orbs. She and Zhong Yi use their awakened Spirit Roots to encourage Zhou Yue to catch up. She later reaches Foundation Establishment in that illusion alongside Zhou Yue and Zhou Qiaoling. 125 136

Personality

Mu Yawen is enthusiastic, candid, and highly willing to engage with unfamiliar games. She is often openly confused by mechanics or systems she does not understand, including the shop model in Three Kingdoms Kill and the deception demanded by social-deduction games. 104 182

Her combat approach is aggressive and courageous. She readily steps forward against Chu Feiyu when Zhou Yue retreats from his weapon, is eager to fight in Tianren City, and displays reckless bravery when facing stronger opponents. Her directness can leave her vulnerable to complex mechanics and traps. 260 262 264 265

She is also patient as a teacher. While training Sutier, she emphasizes physical strength and basic combat fundamentals. She cares deeply about her disciple: she gives Sutier reinforced training armor and is devastated when Sutier takes a fatal blow for her in the illusion's story. 304 315 319

Despite a costly period of reckless play with Zhou Yue, Mu Yawen is generally generous with her game earnings. She willingly shares valuable supplies and later leaves loot for teammates she believes need it more. Her kindness extends to opponents, whom she may help even when her teammates are wary. 371 372 395 397

• Defeats the Red Oni on her first attempt in the Sekiro illusion. She finds its punches and kicks comparatively easy to read because of her familiarity with hand-to-hand combat, and credits Zhong Yi's advice about Deflection. 573 576

• Demonstrates patience and understanding in her master-student role. 304
• Gives Sutier armor weighted with dozens of kilograms of added material, intending it to advance her cultivation once she can move freely in it. 315

Relationships

• Zhong Yi — Frequent teammate and friend. She worries about his excessive gaming, learns deception and information control from him, and relies on his analysis and tactical guidance in combat. They also spar outside games, and she credits his Deflection advice when discussing her Red Oni victory. 13 36 182 261 265 576
• Zhou Yue — Frequent teammate and fellow competitive player. They encourage him after awakening Spirit Roots, fight together in Tianren City, and combine direct combat with his tactical input. She shares her extraction-game savings with him and later gives him a Flame Demon Ram. 125 260 265 371 512
• Li Moran — Fellow Spirit Cloud Sect player and teammate. They show mutual camaraderie during Immortal-Demon Supremacy matches. 200
• Yue Lingfeng — Her master. Yue Lingfeng kills Mu Yawen during Three Kingdoms Kill after a misunderstanding of the rules. 96 98
• Sutier — Student in basic combat training. Mu Yawen teaches her the importance of physical strength, gives her weighted armor, and grieves when Sutier dies protecting her in the illusion's story. She continues visiting her disciple in the Illusion Realm afterward. 304 315 319 341
• Lu Ze — Fellow Spirit Cloud Sect disciple and creator of the Illusion Realms she plays. She defends his cleverness and their sect's reputation when teammates distrust his tactics, though their actions in the same match have sharply contrasting consequences. 22 395 397
• Ark — A hot-blooded tower master in Palworld. Their equally earnest temperaments help them get along, and he becomes her teammate. 530

Extraction-Game Competition

• Enters a later competition with improved shield skills and nearly thirty million in assets after ten days. She focuses on helping teammates rather than rankings or maximizing her own loot. 395
• Helps her team win a Babel Tower battle with a decisive grappling hook. At extraction, she defends Lu Ze's reputation and persuades her team to let an apparently poorly equipped Red Wolf approach, pulling him into the extraction zone. Lu Ze's explosive attack elsewhere in the match nevertheless wipes out multiple teams, including one belonging to her group. 397
