Background / History
The Breaking Clan was once a prominent family known for its offensive strength and alchemy. Its decline began when Yang Wudi’s grandfather, then clan leader, was severely injured in a forced spar with Tang Chen and later died; the clan subsequently became an affiliate of the Clear Sky Sect. 58
By the time Zhao Linchuan visited the clan, the Breaking Clan’s medicinal-pill business with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been terminated and its wealth heavily depleted through further suppression. Yang Wudi struggled to preserve both the clan’s independence and its increasingly precarious future. 58 59
Zhao Linchuan offered the immortal herb Aromatic Silk Beauty and revealed that Yang Wudi’s younger brother, Yang Wushuang, might still be alive. Yang Wudi used the herb to persuade the clan elders, then led the elders and core disciples in pledging the Breaking Clan’s allegiance to Zhao Linchuan. 59
Following the submission, Yang Wudi became one of Zhao Linchuan’s principal advisers. He assessed the other single-attribute clans, identified the Defense Clan’s need for stable work as its most viable recruitment point, and helped bring Niu Gao into Zhao Linchuan’s camp. 60 67 79
Personality
Yang Wudi is proud, direct, and strongly protective of the Breaking Clan’s dignity. He initially resists dependence on another power, but chooses pragmatism when the clan’s survival and the future of its younger members are at stake. 58 59
Though often stern and easily drawn into competitive banter with Niu Gao, he is perceptive and politically capable. After joining the Profound Gate Heavenly Sect, he proves able to tailor persuasive narratives to different sect leaders, inflaming their distrust of Ning Fengzhi while serving Zhao Linchuan’s interests. 80 133
Abilities & Skills
Soul Breaking Spear
Yang Wudi’s Martial Soul is the Soul Breaking Spear, a weapon specialized for aggressive, precise attacks. In battle, he fights with swift spear thrusts and targets openings in stronger opponents’ techniques. 82 101
- His third Soul Skill condenses the spear’s power into a focused black light shuttle. 82
- His fifth Soul Skill creates a high-speed spinning spear strike with a spiral Soul Power vortex. 82
- He can merge with the spear through his seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body, greatly amplifying his power. 83
- His offensive pressure forced Tang Xiao to divide his attention during the defense of the Profound Gate Heavenly Sect. 101
Aerial Maneuvering
Yang Wudi learned the Gathering Souls into Wings technique from Zhao Linchuan, condensing temporary Soul Power wings behind his back. 102
- The wings are illusory and less agile than a genuine flight Soul Skill. 102
- They substantially improve his maneuverability in the air. 102
Medicine and Alchemy
As leader of the Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi possesses extensive knowledge of medicinal materials and alchemy. 58 59
- He immediately identifies the Aromatic Silk Beauty as an immortal herb, the bane of poisons and a catalyst for medicines. 59
- He recognizes the Nine-grade Purple Ganoderma on sight. 110
- As Medicine Hall Master, he oversees the sect’s Body Tempering Powder supply crisis and negotiations with outside factions. 132 133
Political Persuasion
Yang Wudi can convincingly shape information to influence rival powers. 133
- Using Zhao Linchuan’s letter, he portrayed Ning Fengzhi as a monopolistic hypocrite to provoke dissatisfaction among multiple sect leaders. 133
- He adapted his wording for visitors from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Elephant Armored Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, Wind Sword Sect, and other forces. 133
Relationships
- Zhao Linchuan — His lord after the Breaking Clan submits to the Profound Gate Heavenly Sect; Yang Wudi becomes a loyal adviser, combatant, and Medicine Hall Master. 59 60 132
- Niu Gao — Longtime friend and frequent rival. Their bickering culminates in a fierce duel, after which they fight together to defend the sect. 64 80 101
- Yang Wushuang — His younger brother. Zhao Linchuan’s information that Wushuang may be alive is a decisive factor in Yang Wudi’s commitment. 59 118
- Zhu Zhuqing — Zhao Linchuan’s disciple, whom Yang Wudi mistakenly assumes is Zhao Linchuan’s partner before being corrected. 61
- Ning Fengzhi — An opposing political target; Yang Wudi spreads allegations intended to turn other sects against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect leader. 133
- Tang Chen / Clear Sky Sect — The Clear Sky Sect’s history is tied to the Breaking Clan’s decline, fueling Yang Wudi’s resentment and making Gu Rong’s accusation of betrayal especially provocative. 58 100
