Background and History

Ye Chen remembers living as an ordinary university student on twenty-first-century Earth, where he grew up in an orphanage. While hanging clothes from his dormitory balcony, he was struck by a mysterious leaf that vanished immediately afterward. He later appeared in the Douluo Continent as an infant. 5

Mu En and Xuan Zi discovered him in the Star Dou Forest amid an impenetrable energy phenomenon. Once Mu En confirmed that the child was human, he brought him to Sea God's Pavilion and named him Ye Chen because he resembled a star fallen from the night sky. The elders concealed the circumstances of his discovery, publicly claiming that he had been found outside Shrek City. 5 6

Xian Lin'er took Ye Chen home and raised him alongside Qian Duoduo. Though grateful to his adoptive family and the elders of Sea God's Pavilion, Ye Chen continued to seek answers about his origins. During an Illusionary Realm induced by fusing the Ice Empress's torso bone, he saw his life replayed in reverse until a giant golden hand appeared in a void-like space. 5 142 143

Appearance

Ye Chen is repeatedly noted for his exceptional appearance. He has black hair and distinctive Twin Pupils; after his Netherworld experience, his left pupil turned dark red and gave others the impression of an endless purgatory. 106 771

• At a physical assessment, he measured 1.82 meters tall and 75 kilograms, with a bone age of thirteen years and eleven months. 600
• Releasing Taiyin Youying manifests two immense pairs of jet-black wings marked by four faint crescent moons. 186
• His Taiyin Youying wings later evolved from butterfly-like wings into feathered wings with concealed sharpness. 219
• His Fusang Divine Tree evolved into a divine tree bearing a Three-legged Golden Crow. 21

Personality

Ye Chen was cheerful and easygoing in his former life, but he also displayed cunning well beyond his apparent age after arriving at Shrek. As a child, he frequently used pitiful behavior and clever schemes to obtain Beast Milk, much to Ma Xiaotao's frustration. 5 6

He prefers to conceal his full strength, often cultivating quietly and withholding the existence of his Twin Martial Souls from classmates and opponents. This habit made his abilities difficult even for Shrek teachers to investigate. 39 105 121

Despite his extraordinary talent, Ye Chen is highly disciplined. During his first year at Shrek, he balanced morning classes, afternoon Soul Tool research, and nighttime cultivation, making use of nearly every moment of his day. 869 870

In battle, he is analytical and restrained. He studies opponents' abilities, adapts tactics in real time, and avoids using excessive force when teaching younger Soul Masters. 109 273 836 838

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Ye Chen possesses the Fusang Divine Tree and Taiyin Youying, a pairing associated with ultimate light, darkness, ice, and fire attributes. Their energies naturally circulate within his body in a mutually beneficial cycle. 11 13

• Fusang Divine Tree — A light- and fire-aligned Martial Soul that evolved from a golden sapling after Ye Chen's first soul-ring absorption. 21 978
• Taiyin Youying — A dark- and ice-aligned Martial Soul manifested as black wings; Ye Chen kept it hidden until revealing it during a crisis. 12 186
• The difference in ring counts between the two Martial Souls cannot become too large because of their internal energy circulation. 978

Fusang Above Tanggu

Ye Chen's first soul skill is a support-type ability seemingly inherent to the Fusang Divine Tree rather than derived from the offensive Aurora Dragon-Tooth Beast. 21

• Provides an initial ten-percent attribute increase and healing effect within a defined range. 21

• His Level 80 physical strength was assessed as theoretically sufficient for close combat with an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo without using Soul Power. 601
• Mysterious Jade Hand allowed him to block Ye Yu's Dark Gold Dreadclaw directly; although the manifested hand shattered, his actual hand remained uninjured. 836 837
• His bloodline pressure can suppress the Martial Souls of weaker Soul Masters and induce fear-driven illusions. 841

Spiritual Power and Twin Pupils

Ye Chen's Twin Pupils give him vision far beyond ordinary people, while his later Spiritual Power became powerful enough to manifest around his body and distort space. 43 817

• Reached the peak of Tangible but Formless Spiritual Power after the Netherworld incident. 771
• At that stage, he believed his Spiritual Power alone could instantly kill anyone below seven rings. 771 772

During the freshman assessment, Ye Chen fought alone against Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and their team. His use of Eternal Aurora Array defeated their Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion and made him the academy's most popular new student. 106 109

Extreme North and Origins

Ye Chen entered the Extreme North, interacted with the Ice Empress, and fused with the Ice Empress's torso bone. The fusion led to an Illusionary Realm that exposed fragments of his arrival in the Douluo Continent and the image of a golden hand. 141 142

Tournament Combatant and Commander

Ye Chen served as a central commander in Shrek's team battles, where Wang Yan relied on his judgment to adapt tactics during dangerous matches. 273 274

Sun Moon Empire and Soul Tool Research

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Ye Chen deliberately displayed his Martial Soul-related physical strength while concealing his Soul Tool talent. His results shocked the academy: Level 50 Soul Power, Level 80 physical strength, and two rare soul bones. 600 601

He studied in Ming De Hall under a mentor identified as Yin Ming's older half-brother, secretly advanced his Soul Tool crafting, and shared acquired Soul Tool knowledge with Huo Yuhao, He Caitou, and Fan Yu. 619 620 687 688

Return to Shrek and Mentorship

After returning to Shrek, Mu En asked Ye Chen to help identify new talent and become the homeroom teacher for the early-selected reserve team. 790 791
