Background

An Wen was originally a Dark Nether Tiger and the only daughter of Tiger Empress Dark Cloud. After her dragon bloodline awakened, she became a Golden-Eyed Shadow Beast possessing spatial affinity and Ultimate Darkness. She is also Di Tian’s adopted daughter and Wang Rui’s acknowledged older sister; Wang Rui describes her as a “half-Auspicious Beast” recognized by fate. 23 53

Two hundred years before her enrollment at Shrek Academy, An Wen formed a Fate Contract with Long Xiaoyao. The contract accelerated her cultivation, while Dark Cloud later left part of her own power to An Wen, enabling her to reach the hundred-thousand-year level. 53

Dark Cloud’s failed Heavenly Forging produced the living metal that became the Nether Extremity Tiger Empress Spear. The weapon contains Dark Cloud’s remnant soul according to Wang Rui’s assessment and was wielded by Di Tian for nearly two centuries before it appeared as An Wen’s martial soul. 24 54

An Wen later rebuilt herself into human form and entered Shrek Academy under a male disguise. Her choice alarmed Wang Rui because a rebuilt soul beast ordinarily faces a human lifespan and must either attain godhood within roughly two centuries or die and leave behind only a soul. Di Tian permitted her journey, and An Wen’s stated reason for coming to the human world was to find Wang Rui. 53 54 121

Appearance

In her human disguise, An Wen appears as a tall, slender youth around eleven or twelve years old. Her severe features and loose black hair contrast sharply with her rounded, cat-like golden eyes.

• Medium-length black hair tied into a loose bun, with dark-purple strands around her forehead and temples. 53
• Sharp mouth, nose bridge, and brows, giving her a cold and cutting presence. 53
• Golden-yellow irises matching Wang Rui’s, described as icy and inhuman. 53
• Modified Shrek uniform with purple fur around the collar. 53
• Uses Di Tian’s reverse scale, placed against her upper breastbone, to conceal her soul beast aura. 56
• Is physically muscular and flat-chested enough that her gender disguise goes unnoticed by her dormmate. 79

Personality

An Wen is confident, combative, and intensely proud of her strength. She readily accepts Wang Dong’s challenge despite having only one soul ring, mocks stronger opponents, and openly challenges Wang Dong to use his second soul skill. 53 54

Though often lazy and unconcerned with human etiquette, An Wen has sharp instincts and is not foolish. She can be fiercely protective of herself and her classmates, notably standing against Zhou Yi’s insults despite the pressure of a Soul Emperor. 60 66 71

Her unfamiliarity with human society remains apparent in casual behavior and social conventions. However, her defiance of Zhou Yi earned significant prestige among the first-year assault department, leading to her election as class monitor. 60 108

Abilities & Skills

Golden-Eyed Shadow Beast Bloodline

An Wen’s awakened true form is a Golden-Eyed Shadow Beast, evolved from a Dark Nether Tiger through her dragon bloodline.

• Possesses Ultimate Darkness and a spatial attribute. 53
• Inherits Dark Dragon King and Light Dragon King bloodlines. 173
• Her bloodline and attributes completely suppress the White Tiger martial soul. 89
• Her Light Dragon King bloodline may be awakened by a suitable source; a soul bone containing activated Light Dragon King bloodline is considered her possible opportunity. 173

Nether Extremity Spear

An Wen’s martial soul is a sentient, pitch-black spear forged from the living metal created through Dark Cloud’s sacrifice.

• Also known as the Nether Extremity Tiger Empress Spear. 54
• Over two meters long, with a light-absorbing black shaft, crimson crack-like patterns, and a nearly transparent diamond-shaped spearhead. 54
• Emits exceptionally pure Ultimate Darkness and a dragon-clan aura that Mu En considers purer than his Light Saint Dragon’s. 54
• Formed from living metal infused with Di Tian’s blood and Dark Cloud’s sacrifice; Wang Rui believes Dark Cloud’s remnant soul resides within it. 54
• Can merge into An Wen’s body due to her connection to the blood fused into the weapon. 54
• Its manifestation as An Wen’s martial soul inspired Wang Rui’s research into artificial Soul Spirits. 54 61

Curtain of Shadows

An Wen’s first soul skill creates a darkness curtain across an enemy’s vision.

• Physically blinds targets by blocking out light. 58
• Can disrupt airborne opponents, as shown when Wang Dong nearly loses control in flight. 58
• In later use, the skill is described as a deeper erosion of dark element rather than mere blindness. 176
• Can be countered by abilities such as Spiritual Detection Sharing, strong sensory perception, or wide-area attacks. 58

Spear Combat and Mobility

An Wen combines close-quarters martial arts with spear techniques rather than relying solely on soul skills.

• Throws and recalls the Nether Extremity Spear while using its shaft as a platform for aerial movement. 55
• Uses soul skills to weaken opponents before engaging in spear combat. 58
• Her current rebuilt human body limits her ability to fight several stronger opponents without attracting suspicion. 78

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Nether Extremity Tiger Empress Spear — sentient living-metal spear and An Wen’s martial soul. 54
• Di Tian’s reverse scale — conceals her soul beast aura while she lives among humans. 56

Relationships

• Tiger Empress Dark Cloud — mother; her sacrifice created the living metal from which An Wen’s spear originated, and she left An Wen power before her death. 23 53 54
• Di Tian — adoptive father; his blood was used in the spear’s forging, and his reverse scale conceals An Wen’s aura. 53 54 56
• Wang Rui — acknowledged younger brother; regards An Wen as his family and keeps her existence as a possible successor to Star Dou’s fortune secret. 53 56
• Long Xiaoyao — Fate Contract partner and Beast Sect elder; shares a close, equal friendship with An Wen. 53 121
• Wang Dong — Shrek roommate and frequent rival; they challenge, argue, compete, and later reconcile. 53 55 107 119
• Huo Yuqing — fellow student and Wang Rui’s partner; joins An Wen and Wang Rui in discussing matches and academy affairs. 58 60
• Lin Zhizhi — teammate during the freshman assessment; food-type Soul Master with a grape martial soul. 78
• Molly — teammate during the freshman assessment; control-type Soul Master with a Trick Spider martial soul. 78

Story Role / Major Arcs

Arrival at Shrek Academy

An Wen appears at Shrek Academy disguised as a boy and immediately challenges Wang Dong after he provokes her outside the freshman dormitories. Wang Rui recognizes her as family and becomes alarmed by both her unexplained rebuilding and her proximity to Wang Dong. 53

Her martial soul is revealed as the Nether Extremity Spear, exposing the unprecedented result of Dark Cloud’s Soul Forging. Wang Rui realizes the spear may demonstrate that living metal can become an artificial Soul Spirit. 54

Conflict with Wang Dong

An Wen’s contest with Wang Dong highlights their opposing approaches: Wang Dong exploits flight and his superior ring count, while An Wen uses darkness, spear technique, and psychological pressure. Her Curtain of Shadows temporarily blinds Wang Dong and forces him to adapt. 55 58

The pair continue to quarrel as roommates, including disputes over Wang Rui’s history and even an abandoned sock, but later leave Shrek together on friendly terms. 107 119

Defiance of Zhou Yi

An Wen directly confronts Zhou Yi after the teacher insults students as worthless. Though restricted to a one-ring human body and pressured by a Soul Emperor, she refuses to lower her head and turns Zhou Yi’s insult back on her. 66

She is later expelled from Shrek Academy for talking back to a teacher. Her defense of fellow students nevertheless establishes her authority among the freshmen, contributing to her election as assault department class monitor. 68 108

Pursuit of the Light Dragon King Bloodline

An Wen becomes determined to obtain a soul bone whose bloodline is identified as an activated Light Dragon King lineage. She offers Wang Dong a superior light-attribute soul bone in exchange, believing the item may be her only chance to awaken her own Light Dragon King bloodline. 173

Trivia

• Wang Rui secretly designated An Wen as Star Dou Forest’s final contingency: if he dies, the forest’s fortune can pass to her through their fate-recognized sibling bond; if she also dies, it returns to Di Tian through bloodline. 53
• An Wen herself does not know that she can carry Star Dou’s fortune. 56
• Mu En initially suspects An Wen may be the descendant of Long Xiaoyao and an Ultimate Darkness wielder he knows. 54
• Her spear’s emergence as a martial soul was not anticipated when she first took human form. 121
