Background

Chen Yuan and his younger brother, Chen Wenhao, were raised by their grandfather Chen Weiyi after their parents died in an accident. Unlike Wenhao, who entered a direct doctoral track at a top university, Chen Yuan had only average grades before the Spiritual Tide changed the world. 2

After awakening as a Beast Tamer, Chen Yuan chose to remain in Xuanhe Village rather than pursue opportunities elsewhere. He considered the Qinling Mountains an ideal place to encounter Extraordinary Creatures, while also believing he should remain close to care for his aging grandfather. 8

His growing knowledge of local creatures, spiritual plants, and advancement conditions drew the attention of the Baokun City Beast Tamer Association. Zhou Xu recruited him as an association advisor tasked with watching over the Qinling Mountains while remaining based in Xuanhe Village. 35

Chen Yuan gradually developed his farm into a refuge and training ground for contracted beasts and wild creatures. He provides food, shelter, work suited to each creature, and room for them to grow rather than treating them solely as combat tools. 12 199 203

Appearance

Chen Yuan is a tall young man with neat short black hair and a bright, gentle smile. He generally wears simple, practical casual clothing suited to farm work and mountain patrols. 123 321

• Tall build and clean-cut appearance. 123
• Usually dresses plainly despite his public status. 123 416
• Wore a tailored black-and-gold cloak for the Donghuang Assembly final. 423

Personality

Chen Yuan is calm, practical, and reluctant to seek attention. He repeatedly declines positions or celebrations that would pull him away from the Qinling Mountains, preferring his work as a forest ranger and his responsibilities at home. 98 99 431

He is patient with creatures and tends to resolve conflicts through communication before force. Even when facing aggressive wild creatures, he first investigates the cause of the dispute and only uses overwhelming strength when necessary. 170 314 361

Despite his modest manner, Chen Yuan is confident in battle and decisive when protecting the Qinling region. He accepts greater responsibilities when a threat directly endangers the mountains, Xuanhe Town, or the creatures under his protection. 228 387 397

Abilities & Skills

Beast Taming
