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

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul

• 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

• Learns that the technique's formation depends heavily on the original user's Martial Soul. 412
