Background / History

Su Yuan began as a comparatively average Taihua High School student, scoring 550 on a monthly examination while class monitor Chen Nuoyi scored 685. His early academic standing left him unaccustomed to receiving attention from teachers, though Li Ziquan came to regard him as a promising martial-arts talent after he displayed the Eighteen Divine Fork Styles 6 31.

His trajectory changed after he completed the System task Resources Plundered by collecting cafeteria leftovers. The reward, Demonic Cultivation Technique · Spirit Finger, entered his mind with instinctive familiarity and enabled him to extract spiritual energy from discarded food and condense it into pills 13.

He later founded the legally registered Yuan Cult, initially treating online followers as a way to fulfill System requirements. The organization developed into a major Devilish Dao force with formal cadres, manufacturing ventures, affiliated partners, and ambitions to become an affiliated sect of the Ten Great Immortal Sects 59 176 239.

Personality

Su Yuan is calculating, opportunistic, and highly resourceful. He regularly turns dangerous encounters, discarded resources, captives, and political disputes into sources of power, personnel, or influence. His methods commonly involve deception, coercion, hypnosis, Devil Talismans, and manipulation of opponents’ desires or fears 76 99 138 243.

Despite his reputation and increasingly ruthless conduct, he repeatedly acts to protect people he considers his own. He rushed to Qi Hanyua after seeing her ominous fortune, led mortals through a survival trial, and later organized an inter-world alliance against the Immeasurable Tribulation Venerable 256 327 549 556.

He is also ambitious on an exceptional scale. His goals expand from improving his own cultivation to establishing the Yuan Cult in Ten Immortal City, controlling worlds, and guiding cultivation civilization into a new era 239 404 568.
