Appearance

Yue Guan has long golden hair, an androgynous, enchanting appearance, and an elaborate white-gold ceremonial robe set with gemstones. A distinctive floral fragrance accompanies his arrival. 116

• Luxurious white-gold ceremonial robes decorated with gemstones. 116
• Long golden hair. 116
• His appearance is sufficiently ambiguous that Yu Xiaogang initially cannot determine his gender. 116
• Associated with the scent of flowers and medicinal herbs. 116 408

Personality

Yue Guan is deeply devoted to flowers, plants, and medicinal knowledge, having collected and studied extensive botanical texts because his Martial Soul is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. His expertise makes him attentive to rare herbs and poisons alike. 122 408

He can be refined and fastidious, openly disliking the dust and blood kicked up by a defeated enemy. 117 However, he is not indifferent to suffering: after witnessing a village full of corpses, he mourns the victims and calls for their bodies to be gathered and cremated. 414

Yue Guan is intensely ambitious regarding cultivation. Upon learning that the Sunset Forest contains an Immortal Grade Herb identical to his Martial Soul, he immediately urges Gui Mei to take him there. 162 Even after becoming a Titled Douluo, he is dissatisfied when his ninth Spirit Ring stops just short of the Hundred Thousand Year threshold. 469

Years of witnessing Yu Xiaogang's achievements give Yue Guan considerable faith in his potential. He nevertheless becomes curious when Gu Rong, who joined their traveling group later, appears to know a further reason for believing that Yu Xiaogang can create opportunities for himself. 475

Abilities & Skills

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul

Yue Guan's Martial Soul is identical to the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, an Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb. This affinity drives both his botanical research and his interest in obtaining the herb for himself. 122 162

• Can provide ranged support and harassment during combat. 117

Yue Guan can perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Gui Mei. Their combined strength is regarded as exceptional even among Soul Douluos. 117

• Together with Lin Lang, their presence is considered sufficient to deter even a Titled Douluo from threatening Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong. 117

Soul Power Vortex Research

Yue Guan witnesses the Soul Power Vortex inside a Fallen Soul Master and recognizes its extraordinary value: accelerated automatic recovery and improved Soul Power quality. 411

When the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is revealed in the Sunset Forest, Yue Guan becomes desperate to obtain the Immortal Herb matching his Martial Soul. Gui Mei immediately assists him because Yue Guan's advancement would also strengthen their shared combat potential. 162

Fallen Soul Master investigation

After safely condensing his Soul Power Vortex, Yue Guan joins Gui Mei in defeating a Sacred Pillar Douluo for their first trials. The resulting Spirit Ring-age reward raises Yue Guan's ninth ring to 99,000 years. 469 470

Yue Guan's second trial requires him and Gui Mei to endure Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi for the duration of one incense stick; its reward is an 8,000-year increase to their Spirit Ring ages. 469

Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Gu Rong later watch anxiously as Yu Xiaogang attempts the 601st step of the Sea God's Light. They are relieved when he withstands its pressure. 475
