Background & History
Xuan Ziwen was a Soul Master from the Sun Moon Empire who could no longer remain there after offending someone powerful. In Gengjin City, he attempted to use flawed Gengjin Refined Iron to create a work for funds, but Bai Lan and Qingzhu repaired the material through Life Power. Impressed by Bai Lan's immediate grasp of Soul Tool principles, Xuan Ziwen agreed to teach him and later offered systematic instruction in everything he knew. 81
When Bai Lan returned to Gengjin City, Xuan Ziwen resumed teaching him from basic Soul Power conductors and amplifiers through increasingly advanced components. Bai Lan's rapid progress gradually shifted their dynamic: Xuan Ziwen remained his mentor in fundamentals, but also became an observer and learner of Bai Lan's unconventional ideas. 85
Bai Lan's proposal to convert Life Power into Destruction Power rekindled Xuan Ziwen's research passion. He developed the Energy Converter despite requiring an eighth-rank array structure and specialized destructive material; its completion coincided with his breakthrough to the eighth rank. 88 95
After hearing Bai Lan's goal of establishing symbiotic contracts between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, Xuan Ziwen joined the God Contract Pavilion as its sixth member. He subsequently worked on major Pavilion projects, including the Donghuang Bell, the Four Elements Training Room, and the Basic Symbiosis Array Disk. 95 99 100 114
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Xuan Ziwen used his Array Disk to locate a compatible hundred-thousand-year soul beast. He deliberately approached the contract as an equal partnership, eventually forming a Symbiotic Contract with the multi-attribute soul beast he named Silver Glaze. 117 118 120
Personality
Xuan Ziwen is meticulous, technically driven, and intensely committed to Soul Tool research. Even while working under pressure, he favors precision over speed; during the refinement of the Symbiosis Array Disk, he came to value slow, careful work as the basis of true mastery. 94 114
He is receptive to innovation rather than possessive of his expertise. Bai Lan's talent initially shocks him, but he continues teaching, collaborates on designs beyond conventional Soul Tool theory, and accepts the Pavilion's broader vision after rediscovering the ambition he held in his youth. 81 85 95
His approach to symbiotic contracts reflects patience and empathy. Rather than forcing a soul beast into submission, he insists that both parties must understand one another as companions. 118 119
Abilities & Skills
Soul Tool Engineering
Xuan Ziwen is an advanced Soul Tool Master capable of designing, engraving, and refining complex Soul Power circuits and array structures.
- Taught Bai Lan the fundamentals of metal lattice structures, Soul Power conduction, circuit design, and core-array engraving. 81
- Designed the Energy Converter's precise core array, enabling Life Power to be converted into Destruction Power. 88 94
- Created blueprints for the Donghuang Bell and handled the Magic Array design for the Four Elements Training Room. 98 99
- Co-developed the Basic Symbiosis Array Disk with Bai Lan. 114
- Became Huo Yuhao's Soul Tool instructor and emphasized Mental Power, control, and insight as the craft's three foundations. 112
Symbiosis Array Techniques
Xuan Ziwen can use the Symbiosis Array Disk to search for compatible soul beasts and establish a mutually beneficial Symbiotic Contract.
- The disk can detect soul beast auras over great distances and assess compatibility. 117 118
- His disk was refined to support a hundred-thousand-year symbiotic soul beast and can advance gradually with its master's cultivation. 114
- A symbiotic partner may provide Soul Rings and shared power while receiving protection and help to grow. 124
- The partner's growth is limited to one million years unless its master becomes a god or the disk is upgraded into a God-level Contract Array. 118
Multi-Attribute Soul Tool Amplification
His first seventh-ring soul skill uses Silver Glaze's metal, mental, life, and spatial attributes to enhance Soul Tools. 121 122
- Amplifies attack-, defense-, and support-type Soul Tools simultaneously. 121
- Raises a Soul Tool's output severalfold through multi-attribute Soul Power. 121
- Allows circuits of differing attributes to work together, addressing ordinary Soul Tools' single-attribute limitations. 121
- Was successfully tested in combat against the soul beasts guarding Ice Crystal Valley. 122 123
Symbiosis Protection Array
His second seventh-ring soul skill forms a layered, multi-attribute barrier jointly powered by Xuan Ziwen and Silver Glaze. 121
- Defends allies while nourishing their Soul Power. 121
- Integrates with the Symbiosis Array Disk, making the barrier difficult to detect. 121
- Strengthens as Xuan Ziwen and Silver Glaze grow together. 121
- In the Ice Crystal Valley, its enhanced form withstood the full-force attack of a three-hundred-thousand-year Beast God. 122
Equipment & Creations
- Symbiosis Array Disk — A palm-sized silver-white disk refined to resonate with Xuan Ziwen's Soul Power, identify compatible soul beasts, and support symbiotic contracts. 114 117
- Energy Converter — A complex array device that converts Life Power into Destruction Power; completing it marked his eighth-rank breakthrough. 88 95
- Donghuang Bell — A bell-shaped Soul Tool co-created with Bai Lan, designed for both offense and defense. 98 99
- Four Elements Training Room — A portable cultivation chamber incorporating Ice, Void, Life, and Destruction arrays; Xuan Ziwen designed its array framework and adjustable structure with Bai Lan. 99 100
- Blade of Destruction — An eighth-level Soul Tool from Mingde Hall given to him by Bai Lan for study and possible replication. 98
Relationships
- Bai Lan — Initially Xuan Ziwen's Soul Tool student; later his Pavilion Master, collaborator, and guide in symbiotic array techniques. Bai Lan's ideals restore Xuan Ziwen's enthusiasm for research. 81 95 114
- Silver Glaze — His hundred-thousand-year symbiotic soul beast and seventh-ring partner. Their bond supplies multi-attribute power while allowing them to grow and fight together. 120 121
- Huo Yuhao — His Soul Tool disciple. Xuan Ziwen accepts Huo Yuhao after recognizing his exceptional Mental Power, control, and natural aptitude for engraving. 112
- Yinye, Han, Qingzhu, and Jinzi — Elders of the God Contract Pavilion whose true Title Douluo-level strength reinforces Xuan Ziwen's confidence in joining the organization. 96
