Background / History

Xi Yan entered Shrek Academy with Innate Full Soul Power and the top-tier Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul. Soon after enrolling, she reached Soul Grand Master, then advanced to Soul Elder within a month. She later won both the individual and team championships at a Soul Master competition by herself. 17

She was afflicted by uncontrollable evil fire and needed a person with Extreme Ice to suppress it. When Luo Tian arrived at Shrek Academy, she offered to join his team after learning he possessed Extreme Ice. 2 Her condition later became critical; she grew purple-black wings, red eyes, and attacked Luo Tian with Phoenix Wings Sky Soaring before he negated her Spirit Ability and she collapsed. 8

Xi Yan eventually awakened after suppressing the evil fire. Her flames evolved into Ultimate Fire, and Elder Xuan urged her to cultivate so that she would not fall behind Luo Tian. 12 After an uncomfortable cafeteria encounter with Luo Tian, she returned to cultivation and reached level 40. 14 15

During the academy's promotion matches, Xi Yan searched for Luo Tian and became the subject of discussion among the spectators, who recounted her achievements and her status as a Shrek core member. 17 18

Appearance

During her evil-fire episode, Xi Yan's appearance changed visibly.

• Purple-black wings manifested from her back. 8
• Her eyes turned red while the evil fire was active. 8

Personality

Xi Yan is proud of her accomplishments and visibly pleased when others praise her strength. However, she strongly dislikes Ao Xing Tian after learning a secret about him. 18

She is also emotionally sensitive in her dealings with Luo Tian. Embarrassed by her stomach growling and unable to find a seat away from him, she was lectured by Luo Tian until she silently cried; his later apology caused her to cry harder. 14 15 Despite this tension, she later sought Luo Tian out and chose to accompany him and Lu Han into Heaven Dou City. 17 21
