Background

Yue Wen opened Yue's Cultivation Firm as its sole proprietor and employee. The business initially operated from a cramped, low-cost storefront with little work and low fees. 2

After his parents disappeared, Big Dragon became Yue Wen's principal source of support. Yue bought the first chapter of the True Dragon Dao Method on installment and emerged from cultivation six months later. 3 His parents had researched the previous Spiritual Energy era; their black card was linked to the Immortal Treasure Forbidden Land in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and potentially to their disappearance. This connection drives Yue Wen's pursuit of strength and answers. 13

Yue Wen's early reputation grew after he rescued Qi Dian from an evil cultivator, then learned the Thunderclap Art and Flash Art from Linjiang Gate visualization diagrams in twenty minutes. 12 As his firm expanded, Zhao Xing'er became his assistant and primary combat partner, while Qi Dian became a close ally. 34

Appearance

Yue Wen is a young, notably handsome man with a lean, well-proportioned build. His appearance is repeatedly remarked upon by allies, rivals, and the public. 23 241

• His physique is sleek rather than bulky, but his physical strength and durability are extraordinary. 23 216
• Refining Gang gave his gaze and bearing a sharper, swordlike quality. 93
• He often maintains a composed, friendly smile, even when facing opponents who fear him. 105 311
• His upper body was protected by the pink-glowing Lotus Blossom Treasure Robe during his battle with Hu Yunting. 347

Personality

Yue Wen is outwardly polite, practical, and business-minded. He treats clients and human companions with consideration, pays attention to compensation and rewards, and is willing to take dangerous commissions for people in distress. 16 17 He also shows unusual generosity toward allies, notably helping Qi Dian obtain a top-tier cultivation technique and arranging a Supernatural Power Library reward for him. 217 218

Against Evil Spirits, demons, and hostile cultivators, Yue Wen is far more ruthless. His relentless hunting of Evil Spirits earned him the nickname “Ruthless Brother,” though he attributes his actions to justice. 105 239 He is highly opportunistic in battle, readily using deception, poison, ambushes, artifacts, and enhancement pills when a direct clash would be disadvantageous. 157 180 270

Yue Wen is motivated by money and cultivation resources, often treating valuable treasures as essential to survival. Even so, he can restrain his greed when his team's interests are at stake, such as when he declined to consume the Dragon Blood Crystal Stone's remaining value at the cost of their competition points. 133

Abilities & Skills

True Dragon Dao Method

Yue Wen's core cultivation method grants him powerful Gang Qi, a reinforced physical body, and an affinity with True Dragon-related artifacts.

• Refined Chaos Dragon Gang Qi, later sublimated into Golden Dragon Gang. 77 217
• His method and Dragon Blood Crystal Stone enhancement make his body far more durable than an ordinary Gang Realm cultivator's. 192 216
• He can endure attacks from opponents far above his realm and recover rapidly through cultivation. 216 318
• His True Dragon aura enables him to communicate with or seize control of certain dragon artifacts, including an incomplete dragon claw. 203

Sword Control and Sword Arts

Yue Wen's Flying Sword is his primary combat weapon. His sword control can reach the lower-realm rarity of becoming sword light and uniting man and sword. 33

• Uses Sword Control Art for long-range attacks, curved trajectories, and multi-target engagements. 33 118
• Employs Juque Sword Art, Xun Sword True Art, and Splitting Light Shadow Sword Art in combat. 79 218 313

• Uses Thunder Tiger Shocks Heaven Fist as a close-range alternative when he wishes to avoid killing with his sword. 81 309

Sword Heart Resonance Method

This Supernatural Power allows Yue Wen to establish resonance with objects and, with consent, cultivators.

• Initially requires an object to possess sufficient “sword intent” for resonance. 119
• Can empower allies with sword energy and techniques such as Xun Sword True Art. 167 203
• Yue Wen can control willing allies as “sword persons”; Qi Dian is easier to control than Zhao Xing'er due to her stronger cultivation and Dao heart. 130
• Controlling people requires immense mental and cultivation energy, preventing routine use. 130 131
• His divine sense and fine control later allowed him to seize Hu Yunting's Liu Li Flying Sword and throw it out of the arena. 347

Escape and Infiltration Arts

Yue Wen maintains several movement techniques for ambushes, evasions, and infiltration.

• Flash Art — a rapidly learned minor technique used for sudden repositioning. 12

• Maze Tracking Art — conceals his presence and enables stealth infiltration. 86 96
• Lightning Escape — acquired to counter opponents already prepared for his shadow talismans. 345

Soul Cultivation and Divine Sense

Yue Wen began cultivating the Soul Path to Sovereignty Method to strengthen his soul and divine sense. 284

• Completed his first Moonlight Soul Molding, producing a pure, stable, glasslike soul. 285
• Uses Divine Sense Fist in spiritual confrontations. 326
• Demonstrated the ability to rapidly learn and reproduce techniques used by opponents, leading Li Feixia to suspect that he can copy divine abilities. 326
• His enhanced divine sense was sufficient to contest Hu Yunting's during their decisive arena battle. 347

Malice Perception

The Fox Demon Empress granted Yue Wen Malice Perception in exchange for a dark-blue bead. 220

• Detects malicious intent in the Fox Demon Amusement Park. 224
• Helps his team avoid threats or identify targets before they can attack. 224

• Zhao Xing'er — His assistant, martial general, and closest combat partner. Their combination tactics rely heavily on mutual trust and Sword Heart Resonance. 17 130 203
