Yang Yu

Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Yang Yu transmigrated into a world of Professionals and spent three years studying for his awakening. His D-Rank Warrior profession and below-average starting attributes initially appeared to make that effort pointless, but his Two Hundredfold Effort talent allowed his skills to grow at an abnormal rate through use and combat. 1 3

His first major breakthrough came in the one-time Novice Dungeon: Goblin Forest. By repeatedly killing Goblins with Blade Draw Slash, he raised the skill to Level 9, reached Level 3, and acquired equipment that improved both his attributes and proficiency gains. 3 4 In Wild Boar Forest, Blade Draw Slash reached Level 10 and began releasing physical Sword Qi, a feat Leng Yuan believed normally required extreme repetition and battlefield experience. 11 13

Yang Yu concealed his role in killing the Wild Boar King, fearing that other Professionals would target him for its drops. He subsequently dismantled the Tan Lang War Band’s intimidation campaign, cleared Elite and Nightmare-grade content, and gained the Wild Boar King Set’s King’s Descent effect. 13 21 31 73

During the Misty Forest catastrophe, Yang Yu fought alongside Jiang Shuyue, Su Muyu, Su Muqing, and the Dragon Skeleton War Band. He used King’s Descent and Sword Intent Liberation to confront Blood Fiend, helped destroy the Silver-rank Zerg threat, and reached Level 30 alongside his party. 65 68 69

After becoming Li Qingcang’s sole disciple, Yang Yu advanced from D-Rank Warrior to S-Rank Radiant Sword Saint, then survived the World Tower’s blank-slate Second Job Transfer trial. His S-Rank class subsequently sublimated into the Mythical Rank Primal Sword Master. 98 105 128 139

As his power escalated, Yang Yu became central to Dragon Country’s war against the Zerg, the Abyss, and divine enemies. He built armies of Golden Clones, used them to defend cities and accelerate his growth, and repeatedly chose to return to the front lines rather than remain under protection. 170 191 203

In the higher-dimensional conflict, Yang Yu abandoned reliance on conventional advancement alone. He refined hostile divine laws within himself, rebuilt his body from Chaos, established control over the Abyss, and began cultivating by consuming enemy Origin, Laws, and powerful opponents. 241 405 473 548

Appearance

Yang Yu’s appearance is most often defined by his equipment and transformations rather than a fixed physical description. Early in his career, he intentionally used the Wild Boar King Set’s intimidating appearance to conceal his actual strength. 17 161

• Wild Boar King’s Mask — A ferocious boar-faced helm with metallic tusks and scarlet eye openings. 17
• Wild Boar King Set — His deliberately maintained outward appearance after obtaining stronger equipment, allowing enemies to underestimate him. 161
• Chaos Body — A gray-gold body resembling primordial Chaos rather than flesh, energy, or ordinary law. 405
• Eyes — After the Chaos Body’s reconstruction, his pupils become bottomless gray-gold vortices. 405
• Later attire — Often wears a black trench coat while acting as the Abyss’s ruler. 413 439

Personality

Yang Yu is highly practical and optimization-driven. He evaluates cooldowns, equipment value, skill interactions, recovery resources, and long-term growth rather than simply pursuing the strongest immediate option. He refused to exploit Wild Heart recklessly, chose mobility before an Abyss Dungeon challenge, and repeatedly delayed dangerous content long enough to prepare. 26 75

He initially treats secrecy as survival. After killing the Wild Boar King, he pretends to be a frightened novice because revealing his strength could make him a target for his loot. 13 Even after becoming publicly recognized, he prefers to conceal his strongest equipment, abilities, and clone potential. 72 161

Despite his ruthlessness toward enemies, Yang Yu remembers kindness and credits allies. He repays Jiang Shuyue for the sword she gave him, redirects praise for the Misty Forest victory toward Dragon Skeleton and her War Band, and later gives Zhang Wei rare permanent-stat treasures for supporting him when he was weak. 40 69 239

As his power grows, his sense of responsibility becomes more forceful. He refuses to remain a protected asset while Dragon Country is threatened, defining the battlefield as “the place I should be.” 203 In later conflicts, this responsibility develops into a ruthless willingness to consume hostile cultivators and dismantle entire enemy organizations for resources. 548

Abilities & Skills

Two Hundredfold Effort / Millionfold Effort

Yang Yu’s original talent causes skill proficiency to grow at an abnormal rate, allowing him to cultivate abilities far beyond what ordinary Professionals can sustain.

• Blade Draw Slash rose from Level 1 to Level 9 during his first dungeon run. 3 4
• Myriad Swords Return to Origin is uniquely compatible with his proficiency generation because every use consumes Skill Proficiency. 47
• Wheel of Judgment rose from Level 1 to Level 18 after a single attack on Hellfire Cerberus. 123
• After the Profession Panel was removed, the talent later returned as the innate Two Hundredfold Insight. 428

Blade Draw Slash

Yang Yu’s foundational Warrior skill becomes his signature sword technique and eventually evolves beyond conventional skill limits.

• At Level 10, it deals 2,000% physical damage with a 0.3-second cooldown. 11
• Kill Recovery restores stamina when it kills an enemy. 11
• Sword Qi Release / Projection fires linear ranged Sword Qi, eventually expanding beyond its original ten-meter range. 11 16

• At Level 66, it evolves into the Divine Skill Heavenly Origin – Single Strike and gains the Sword Dao Divine Rule of Sharpness, “Cuts Through Everything.” 295

Myriad Swords Return to Origin

An Epic skill that ordinary Professionals consider defective because its use consumes ten points of Skill Proficiency.

• Requires 200 Strength and 100 Spirit to learn. 47
• Produces a fan-shaped sword rain; sufficient proficiency doubles both damage and range. 47
• Sword Intent Liberation sacrifices one skill level to multiply the next cast’s damage and range tenfold. 56
• At high levels, its golden swords can blanket a 200-meter fan-shaped area and inflict nearly 200,000 critical damage. 54
• Yang Yu later combines its swords into the sky-covering Golden Cloud Sea against King-level enemies. 217

Wheel of Judgment

An S-Rank skill gained after Yang Yu’s first advancement that summons autonomous Judgment Light Swords.

• At Level 18, summons 180 pursuing Light Swords for 180 seconds; each hit deals 36,000% mixed Light and physical damage. 124
• Divine Link triggers Sacred Energy explosions after every ten Light Swords strike the same target. 124
• Its repeated hits enable Yang Yu to exploit cooldown effects and rapidly cultivate it against heavily armored enemies. 127
• Its summoned swords can be transformed into clones through the Glory Wargod Set. 161

Bloodthirsty Battle Intent

A high-risk self-enhancement skill that burns Yang Yu’s blood in exchange for immense offensive power.

• Yang Yu initially avoids using it because each activation costs 10% of his health. 11
• At Level 20, it grants a 300% physical-attack increase. 127
• True Blood adds True Damage equal to 1% of his damage to every attack, bypassing defense. 127

Defensive and Transformation Skills

• Iron Will — Grants large fixed and percentage-based Defense increases, control resistance, and the Indomitable defensive spike after being attacked. 17 21
• Immovable Wisdom King Body — Permanently raises Constitution and Spirit by 490%; its active state reduces incoming damage to 5% for one minute. 140
• King’s Descent — Transforms Yang Yu into a five-meter Demon God with black scales, wings, and horns, but rapidly consumes life force and can inflict severe weakness afterward. 65 68
• Primal Sword Domain — Creates a sword domain for one minute; recognized sword skills deal ten times more damage, unrecognized sword skills deal ten times less, and Yang Yu cannot be harmed while the domain remains intact. 139

Clone Warfare

The completed Glory Wargod Set allows Yang Yu to turn independent attack entities into clones.

• Clones inherit 30% of Yang Yu’s attributes and can use his skills. 161
• Hundreds of clones can stack Iron Will through Will Resonance, creating defensive formations that withstand massed attacks. 170
• Yang Yu later solidifies one hundred million clones as independent individuals, preserving their inherited attributes after his own temporary amplification ends. 237

Laws, Devouring, and Chaos

Yang Yu gradually shifts from using skills to refining, controlling, and embodying laws.

• Myriad Calamities Unscathed begins transforming his body into a Body of Rules, allowing him to refine Asmodeus’s Dark Law rather than merely resist it. 241
• All Things Are Swords alters the laws governing objects, forcing weapons to betray their owners. 217
• His Chaos Body withstands and absorbs Chaos Qi that would normally erase Half-Step Transcendents. 405
• Abyssal Maw devours enemies on a massive scale and refines them through the Abyss’s internal systems. 545
• He later develops the principle of using enemy Origin and Laws as cultivation material: “forge my sword with the enemy’s spear.” 241
