Background

Yang Xuan was a 24-year-old Taobao employee in HN City who spent his nights gaming and watching television. Once physically fit, he had become a sedentary shut-in with a growing belly. A meteor struck him at his company dormitory, after which an unknown System installed itself by establishing a parasitic connection. 2

The System awakened Yang Xuan's telekinesis and gradually enhanced his body through excess mental power. Rather than immediately abandoning his ordinary life, he trained in secret, determined to develop both his mind and physique so that neither would become a weakness. 3 5

His first major journey brought him to 1914 Shanghai, where he became Li Shuwen's nominal disciple at the Jingwu School. Under Li's instruction, Yang Xuan rapidly mastered Horse Stance and Baji Quan, fought Hongkou Dojo members, and killed Fujita Go while defending the Jingwu School. The killing left him shaken despite his victory. 5 6 8

During a later tomb expedition, Yang Xuan acquired the Tian Can Divine Skill, Tathagata Palm, Seven Spin Slash, and a vast reserve of internal energy. He used the resulting power to escape Tian Can's awakening, but also began displaying a stronger greed for valuable items and techniques. 13 14

After returning to the modern world, he auctioned antiques for over one billion RMB, bought a villa and multiple vehicles, and continued enhancing his abilities. He later entered the Maoshan world to learn Taoist arts under Uncle Nine, became involved with Ren Tingting, and ultimately resolved to bring her back to his own world rather than leave her behind. 9 11 20 42

Appearance

Yang Xuan began as an ordinary-looking young man with a slight receding hairline and an increasingly sedentary build. Continuous cultivation transformed his body into an extremely dense, powerful physique: he measured 174 cm tall and weighed 250 kg at his latest recorded scan, with sevenfold bone density and muscle strength. 2 5 42

  • His hair became thicker and darker after his physical changes. 5 43
  • His teeth gradually straightened and whitened through cultivation. 43
  • Despite being relatively short, he has a strongly masculine presence attributed to his constantly optimized physique. 46
  • His exceptional density makes his weight misleading; the System identifies it as muscle and bone mass rather than obesity. 17

Personality

Yang Xuan is fundamentally laid-back, pleasure-seeking, and reluctant to overplan. He prefers confronting problems directly over making complicated arrangements, openly acknowledges his lack of grand ambition, and pursues strength largely because he enjoys movie worlds and wants the freedom to experience them on his own terms. 3 16 20

Despite his laziness, he becomes intensely diligent when a skill interests him. He trains martial arts, Taoist methods, telekinesis, and medicine with unusual persistence, learns quickly, and shares his knowledge with others once he has mastered it. 6 21 29

His increasing power also exposes less admirable traits. Yang Xuan is acquisitive, often takes valuable objects whether he needs them or not, and carried out large-scale robberies in Hong Kong while influenced by his awakening inner self. 13 15 However, he is not indifferent to violence: killing Fujita Go and the Feng Shui Master caused him visible distress and guilt. 8 28

He is deeply protective of people he considers his own. He supports Li Chi against debt collectors, protects the Ren family's businesses, trains his fellow disciples, and accepts responsibility for Ren Tingting rather than abandoning her between worlds. 14 29 30 42

  • Can optimize and reinforce items, medicines, weapons, and controlled corpses, though repeated reinforcement drastically increases energy expenditure. 14 15 41

Telekinesis

Yang Xuan's earliest supernatural ability is telekinesis, created when his strengthened mental power evolved beyond normal limits. It reached a recorded capacity of 999 kg. 5 24

  • Manipulates and lifts objects remotely, beginning with a lighter and later heavy training materials. 3 33

Neijiaquan and Baji Quan

Li Shuwen trained Yang Xuan in Horse Stance, Baji Quan, Yi Jin Jing, Xi Sui Jing, Qinggong, and the principles of internal martial arts. Yang Xuan's exceptional learning speed let him progress from novice to Hua Jin Peak in a comparatively short period. 5 6 42

  • Six Elbows — Baji Quan's close-range striking form; used to defeat Hongkou Dojo fighters and strike Master Ren's reanimated corpse away. 6 26
  • Tie Shan Kao — A body-checking technique powerful enough to break through a mountain wall. 14
  • Hua Jin control — Enables refined blood-essence circulation, powerful physical strikes, and advanced control over his rapidly growing body. 36 42
  • His physical strength reached the equivalent of nineteen adult men. 42

Internal Energy Techniques

Yang Xuan gained 96 years of first-class internal energy from the Great Revitalizing Pill, later increasing the listed amount to 99 years. 13 24

  • Tian Can Divine Skill — A multi-form martial art obtained from Tian Can's belongings. 13
  • Tathagata Palm — A comprehensive art combining internal energy, external techniques, palm methods, lightness skill, and protective true qi. 13
  • Seven Spin Slash — An energy-circulation method that can be used through more than just the hands. 13
  • Bewitching Soul Grand Technique — A mental technique Yang Xuan obtained from Yun Luo and cultivated to perfection. 14 16
  • Thousand Mountains Shield — A weapon-compatible defensive art with four major realms, beginning with One Mountain Shield and culminating in Thousand Mountains Shield. 31

Maoshan Taoist Arts

After becoming Uncle Nine's disciple, Yang Xuan learned the Maoshan True Explanation and Maoshan Qi Cultivation Method. 20 21

  • Maoshan True Explanation — Includes ghost catching, talismans, Feng Shui, and arrays. 21
  • Can draw talismans in the air, though their effectiveness is limited without a suitable medium. 23

  • Maoshan Corpse Raising Technique — A more comprehensive corpse-related art learned from Four Eyes. 36

  • Brews and reinforces medicinal soups such as Qiang Xue Tang and Qiang Shen Tang. 32 37
  • Refines Strong Blood Pills, Strong Body Pills, and Blood-Stopping Powder in an alchemy furnace. 49
  • His cultivation requires extreme food intake; ordinary meals are insufficient to sustain his growing body and energy systems. 18 21

Hunyuan Vajra Evil Buddha Body

Yang Xuan learned this technique from a jade slip hidden within a seemingly contradictory manual. It converts energy already inside his body into physical defense and bodily transformation rather than raising his energy realm. 43

  • Absorbs Bloodline Power, inner force, and magical power to strengthen his body. 43
  • Enables physical enlargement and greatly improved defense. 43
  • Excessive use can drain his energy reserves, cause extreme hunger, or leave him unable to stop absorbing energy. 43
  • The System warns that uncontrolled cultivation could turn him into a fossil. 43

Equipment / Weapons / Items

  • Black Flame — A 300-jin battle axe bearing the name “Black Flame.” Through reinforcement, it reached 600 jin, gained advanced sharpness and heaviness, and amplified inner force by 60%; it was later reinforced to Level 3. 15 36
  • Axe Aura manual — Acquired alongside Black Flame; Yang Xuan used Axe Aura against zombies and the Feng Shui Master. 15 28
  • Mingguang Armor — Yang Xuan's favorite piece among the items he obtained in Ren Family Town. 42
  • Four Saints Qiankun Furnace — Used for refining pills and brewing medicinal soups. 32
  • Two one-ton lead balls — Carried during travel as strength-training weights. 33
  • Royal Zombie — Captured with Four Eyes and Yi Xiu, then controlled through the Corpse Control Technique and System optimization. 41
  • Little Taiji — A panda cub that followed Yang Xuan from the mountains and was kept by the group. 37

Relationships

  • Uncle Nine (Lin Jiu) — Formal Maoshan master. He taught Yang Xuan Taoist arts, offered emotional guidance after the Feng Shui Master's death, and entrusted him with the Dan Jing. 20 28 32
