Background / History

Sima Xian is the son of a Warrior Temple berserker who died fighting demons and a Sixth Rank High Priest of the Priest Temple. He inherited his mother’s light attribute and his father’s Berserk ability. Fearing that he would die on the battlefield like his father, his mother attempted to raise him as a priest. He was unable to learn healing magic, but learned combat skills unusually quickly and largely developed through self-study. 67

He entered the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Tournament as the Priest Temple’s strongest contestant. Although classified as a priest, his fighting style relied on physical force and a Meteor Hammer rather than healing. He defeated Lin Xin in the finals, then lost to Cai’er after exhausting his spiritual power on Vajra Fist of Immense Strength. 8 9

After joining Long Haochen’s Demon Hunt Squad, Sima Xian became one of its designated frontline fighters alongside Wang Yuanyuan. 24

Appearance

Sima Xian has a bald head and a burly, muscular build that causes observers to mistake him for a warrior rather than a priest. 149 166

• Often wears half-body armor in combat. 136 166
• Wields an exceptionally large metal ball weapon, whose appearance drew attention during the selection tournament. 166
• His imposing physique contrasts sharply with his identity as a Priest Temple representative. 8

Personality

Sima Xian is carefree, humorous, and prone to lightening the mood among his companions. He cheered his teammates after Long Haochen gained the Light Elemental Spirit, and frequently engages in banter with Lin Xin and Chen Yinger. 56 224

He can also be impulsive and impatient, particularly when Long Haochen is endangered. However, he accepts Cai’er’s authority when she takes command and acknowledges criticism when it is warranted. 190

In romance, Sima Xian is persistent but frequently unsuccessful. He openly pursued Feng Ling’er, visiting the Holy Alliance Grand Auction House whenever cultivation did not interfere, despite being repeatedly scolded away. 224 243

Abilities & Skills

Discipline Priest Combat Style

Sima Xian is a light-attributed priest who cannot use healing skills. Instead, he combines priestly abilities with his inherited Berserk talent and powerful physical combat. 67

• Fights as a close-range vanguard rather than a conventional support priest. 24 46
• Can enter a Berserk state that greatly enhances his combat power. 9
• His speed and ability to deal with ranged control are notable weaknesses. 167
• Defeated a knight in the selection tournament with his heavy weapon. 166

Vajra Fist of Immense Strength

Sima Xian’s ultimate move during the selection tournament was the Vajra Fist of Immense Strength. 9

• Consumes enough spiritual power to leave him exhausted afterward. 9

Judgment

Ripples of Light

Sima Xian quickly comprehended Long Haochen’s Secret Skill, Ripples of Light, when both Demon Hunt Squads trained together. 116

Synthesized Spiritual Stove

• Lin Xin — Teammate and frequent bantering partner; Lin Xin defeated neither Sima Xian nor his appetite for humor, but regularly teases him over his romantic failures. 8 224
• Wang Yuanyuan — Fellow frontline fighter; the two served as the vanguard during the ambush on a demon grain convoy. 46
• Feng Ling’er — His romantic interest. Sima Xian confessed his feelings and persistently sought her out, while Feng Ling’er gradually showed signs of caring for him. 243
