Background

Yu Hongyi was originally a physically weak and academically unremarkable student in Class Three, Section Two of Qingqiu City First High School. At 1.59 meters and 40 kilograms, he was frequently mocked with nicknames such as “human skeleton” and “matchstick.” Despite lacking athletic ability, he intervened when he saw a troublemaker harassing a female classmate and was badly beaten for it. 2

During the Crimson Moon incident, Yan Anqing selected Yu’s image for modification after seeing the bullying video and deciding to give the disadvantaged student a chance to rise. Yu’s body transformed instantly: his eyes became metallic gold, his height increased to roughly 1.95 meters, and he developed an imposing muscular build. 3

Military personnel approached him immediately after the transformation. Yu accepted the call to serve without hesitation, stating that he would cooperate to the best of his ability as a Youth League member. 3

Appearance

Following the Crimson Moon, Yu Hongyi became a tall, sturdy young man with a resolute face and a sunny, upright bearing. 3 19

• Stands approximately 1.95 meters tall after his transformation. 3
• Possesses brilliant golden eyes with a metallic luster. 3 19
• Initially developed an exaggeratedly muscular physique; after reaching Tier Two, his build became leaner while his presence grew more intimidating. 3 44
• Appeared pale and depleted after repeatedly providing biological samples for research in Shanghai. 19
• His Wishing Tree resurrection is described with black hair, black eyes, a tall stature, and an upright demeanor. 615

Personality

Yu Hongyi is defined by patriotism, courage, and a strong sense of responsibility. Before gaining any power, he risked himself to protect a classmate from harassment; after becoming a Golden-Eyed individual, he viewed the support given to him by the country as an obligation to contribute in return. 2 19

He is exceptionally hard on himself. He suppressed his body’s self-protection mechanisms to cooperate with scientific research, donated substantial biological material, and trained to the point of collapse alongside Ma Ran. 19 64

Power does not erode his principles. Lin Aolong describes him as someone who sought the light when weak, did not oppress the weak after becoming strong, and never changed his original intentions because of his strength. 611 By later centuries, Yu’s kindness has become more discerning: he reserves it for ordinary people and those who are likewise kind, rather than extending it blindly to everyone. 635

Abilities & Skills

• Christian — Respected opponent in the Earth Ranking Tournament. Christian admired Yu’s courage and warrior spirit, but killed him after Yu refused to yield. 159
• Yue Zhuoran — Xuan Yue Tai Chi sect leader who considers Yu resolute, fearless, and worthy of the “Vanguard” evaluation. 160
• Lu Jiaxu — Moral opposite and rival for spatial-ability shares. Yu refuses to attack allies without cause, while Lu Jiaxu is regarded as cruel and self-serving. 337 611
