Background

An Ping possessed memories of a previous life and recognized Tang Wulin as the protagonist of a novel upon encountering him at Red Mountain Academy. After awakening the book-type Martial Soul Sky of Truth, he dedicated himself to studying its rune-like contents and pursuing the Path of the Witch rather than a conventional Soul Master's path 1 2.

He was raised independently from a young age, with the Myriad Demon King watching over him. At Red Mountain Academy, he was notably mature, solitary, and uninterested in playing with other children. His Innate Soul Power was Level 6, but he progressed rapidly through relentless meditation, spell-model analysis, and self-study 456 503.

After graduating from Red Mountain Academy at Level 23, An Ping entered East Sea Academy. There he joined Wu Changkong's Class Five, befriended Gu Yuena, and developed a combat style built on calculations, battlefield control, and personal survival rather than direct confrontation 9 20 53.

His advancement into a formal Shaman during the Bell Tower Phantom incident transformed the Sky of Truth and evolved his Spirit Soul into a phoenix. He later studied at Sun Moon Academy under Ling Hongchen's guidance, where his Soul Tool designs and alchemical work gained major recognition 25 74 76.

After reaching Level 2 Wizard, An Ping learned that his childhood memories before age three were flawed due to the Sky of Truth carrying him through the world's barriers. He accepted his bond of fate with Gu Yuena and the Soul Beast Clan, eventually becoming Gu Yuena's partner and a central figure in relocating and protecting Soul Beasts 93 277.

Appearance

An Ping grew from a cute child into a handsome, graceful youth. He is usually understated in dress, but his appearance and bearing remain striking even in simple clothing 80 436.

• Often carries or manifests the book-form Sky of Truth as his public Martial Soul appearance 218.
• His original public Spirit Soul form is a white phoenix 131.
• He can alter his aura and outward Martial Soul form to conceal his identity 218 283.

Personality

An Ping is serious, highly independent, and relentlessly focused on his goals. He spends much of his time reading, researching, cultivating, or designing new tools; even as a child, he behaved more like an adult than his peers 488 503.

He places extraordinary value on survival. Having died once, he refuses to sacrifice himself for fleeting tactical opportunities and excels particularly at Blink Spell and Magic Barrier. This brought him into conflict with Wu Changkong, who considered his attitude unsuitable for a battlefield teammate 20.

Despite his guarded nature, An Ping is reliable and protective toward those he accepts. He supports Gu Yuena, Lin Qing, Xu Xiaoyan's family, and others with resources, cultivation methods, identities, and long-term plans. Gu Yuena describes him as serious, occasionally cute, hardworking, and dependable 102 283 380.
