Background / History

Xu Fang was born in Bocheng. When he was nine, both of his parents—Military Mages—died covering their teammates during a mission. He subsequently received national second-class survivor benefits and was taken into the care of the Southern Military Department until age sixteen. He awakened the Light Element that same year. 34 431

As a student, Xu Fang transferred to the Ancient Capital for his sophomore year. He trained obsessively to control his stars and began independently hunting demons, using Light and Fire magic to kill a Giant-Eyed Stinky Rat before taking solo Hunter’s Alliance missions. 5 6

His unusual Light Element was publicly explained as an innate Spirit Seed with a constant-temperature burning property. This talent allowed his Light-and-Fire techniques to achieve lethality beyond ordinary elemental magic, while giving him a plausible explanation for his abnormal combat power. 28 31

Xu Fang entered Pearl Academy’s Light Element program at nineteen. There, he became Chief, fought for the Huaxia National Government Team, and rose to national prominence through the National Government Competition. 195 349 431

After later becoming a mentor, he led Pearl Academy graduates on field missions and developed plans such as a city-scale Water Element circulation array for irrigation, safety, and resource conservation. 373

Appearance

Xu Fang is a handsome young man with striking blond hair and a “fairy-tale prince” appearance. His style is often casual rather than formal, even while holding prestigious positions. 107 200

• Slightly permed, shoulder-length blond hair. 107
• Often wears casual shirts, shorts, slippers, or conspicuous outfits rather than academy attire. 178 200
• His appearance noticeably improved after reaching High Level. 178
• Uses disguises, including altered appearance and voice through the Eye of Deception. 278 601

Personality

Xu Fang is confident, quick-witted, and habitually provocative toward arrogant opponents. He can turn a confrontation into verbal humiliation, as seen in his exchanges with Sun Rui Zhi, Lu Yilin, and Hekasa. 31 287 574

Despite his showmanship, he is pragmatic in combat and often restrains himself when a full display of power would be excessive. He uses planning, elemental counters, hidden weapons, and battlefield control rather than relying only on direct force. 66 180 335

He has a strong protective streak rooted in his military background. He fought for Bocheng during the undead disaster, risked himself by wearing the Ancient King’s Armor Robe to stop Sha Yuan, and later led Jinlin City’s civilian evacuation during a demon invasion. 82 252 431

Xu Fang also values autonomy. When confronted with a violent alternate self, he asserted that nobody else could decide his life or death. 283
