Appearance

Yue Guan is a white-robed, feminine-faced man with a distinctly feminine voice and mannerisms. Despite his outwardly relaxed presentation, his presence carries the pressure of a Title Douluo. 52 55

• Dresses in white robes. 52
• Has a feminine face and voice. 52
• His martial soul manifests as a purple-gold or golden chrysanthemum. 53 55
• Following his breakthrough, he appears decades younger and noticeably more radiant. 132

Personality

Yue Guan is sharp-tongued, prideful, and openly contemptuous of people he considers incompetent or fraudulent. He particularly despises Yu Xiaogang, whom he publicly denounces as a plagiarist whose verified theories came from Martial Soul Hall archives. 51 53

His fascination with plant-type martial souls and rare herbs is intense. Su Yun's Blue Silver Emperor immediately excites both Yue Guan and his own martial soul, while the prospect of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid drives him to threaten Dugu Bo despite Su Yun's objections. 53 128 129

Though ruthless in pursuit of Martial Soul Hall's objectives, Yue Guan is protective of those he accepts as his own. He supports Su Yun in confrontations with the Star Luo delegation, approves of Su Yun's combat decisions, and shows affection for him behind a deliberately gruff exterior. 82 83 154

• Bibi Dong deploys Yue Guan and Gui Mei jointly when attempting to capture Tang San. 58

History

Yue Guan first investigates Su Yun and Tang San after hearing that two children with Blue Silver Grass martial souls possessed Innate Full Soul Power. His own experience researching plant-type martial souls leads him to suspect that their spirits conceal an extraordinary origin. After examining Martial Soul Hall records on the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor and Tang Hao, he concludes that Su Yun may be Tang Hao's child. 51

At Notting Academy, Yue Guan exposes Yu Xiaogang's reliance on Martial Soul Hall archives and dismisses his unverified theories as nonsense. When Su Yun manifests the Blue Silver Emperor Tree, Yue Guan is exhilarated by its life force and wishes to take him as a disciple. 53

Soon afterward, Yue Guan discovers that Xiao Wu is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form. He subdues both Xiao Wu and Su Yun and attempts to transport them to Martial Soul Hall, but Tang Hao intercepts him. Yue Guan attempts to evade direct combat through barriers, a clone, and his Martial Soul Avatar, yet Tang Hao destroys his defenses and severely injures him. 54 55

After Bibi Dong learns that Tang San possesses Twin Martial Souls, Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo are ordered to locate and capture Tang San. During the search, Yue Guan captures Yu Xiaogang as a possible lead and severely injures him while demanding Tang Hao's whereabouts. 58 62 63

As Su Yun rises within Martial Soul Hall, Yue Guan becomes one of his principal supporters. He protects Su Yun's political standing during the Star Luo delegation's visit, backs Zhu Zhuqing's choice to remain with Su Yun, and mentors Su Yun during the hunt for his fourth soul ring. 82 83 154

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yue Guan's desire for the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid brings him into conflict with Dugu Bo and Su Yun. He ultimately receives the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum instead, an Immortal Herb uniquely compatible with his martial soul. Its consumption allows him to advance to rank 96. 128 129 130 132

• Tang San — Pursues him on Bibi Dong's orders after learning he possesses Twin Martial Souls. 58 62
• Yu Xiaogang — Holds him in extreme contempt, exposes his plagiarism, and later captures and tortures him for information about Tang Hao. 51 53 62 63
• Dugu Bo — Rival within Su Yun's circle. Their dispute over the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid nearly turns violent, but both later benefit from Su Yun's Immortal Herbs. 126 128 129 132

Equipment / Items

Trivia
