Background / History

Ye Buqun awakens in the body of a ten-year-old boy on the Douluo Continent. The body's original owner had repeatedly failed Soul Power tests despite years of physical training, becoming a village laughingstock. Ye Buqun's transmigration instead binds him to a system and the billion-year Mirror Beast Martial Soul, immediately granting him Soul Saint-level power. 1 2

His first system task sends him to observe Tang Hao without being detected. Through Divine Imprint, he copies Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, Soul Power, Soul Rings, Divine Slaughter Domain, and complete set of Soul Bones. The system's copied characters function as permanent Martial Soul “cards” that Ye Buqun can possess, improve, and use beyond their originals' former limits. 1 2 14

Appearance

Ye Buqun is described as handsome and refined, with delicate skin compared to mutton-fat jade. He frequently hides his identity behind a Clown Mask or by concealing his Soul Rings. 20 27

• Uses a sinister Clown Mask when acting anonymously or intimidating opponents. 8 10
• His Mirror Beast manifestation resembles a qilin-like auspicious beast covered in mirrors. 94
• Can alter the apparent quality of his Soul Rings through the Concealment Mask, deceiving even powerful Soul Masters. 333

Personality

Ye Buqun is confident in his overwhelming strength and often treats powerful enemies with casual composure. He prefers freedom over official restraint, declining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's offer to become Chief Elder despite defeating Chen Xin. 16 143

He is also calculating about revealing his power. He intimidates witnesses into secrecy, wears masks to avoid attention, and sometimes deliberately presents himself as far weaker than he is. 4 27 258

Despite his ruthlessness toward threats such as Bule and criminal Soul Masters, Ye Buqun can show mercy when asked by those close to him. He spares Dai Zhongqi and Zhu Lan'er at Zhu Zhuqing's request, helps Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan treat their poison, and protects his companions during dangerous journeys. 19 69 105 183
