Background / History

Xu Yuan was raised in Holy Soul Village by his grandfather, Old Jack. At his martial-soul awakening, he displayed Innate Full Soul Power and a top-tier tool martial soul, prompting Su Yuntao to recommend him to Martial Soul Hall. Elder Yue Guan subsequently confirmed his talent and personally took him to Martial Soul City for cultivation. 2 4

During the journey, Yue Guan guided Xu Yuan through the fundamentals of spirit-master development and helped him obtain his first ring. Xu Yuan's first spirit skill, Elemental Amplification, immediately enabled unusually powerful elemental magic. 5 6

At Spirit Academy, Xu Yuan became Hu Liena's roommate and later Bibi Dong's disciple alongside her. His status changed how fellow students treated him, while Bibi Dong's training further refined his control over his spirit abilities. 9 21

Xu Yuan developed several commercial ventures, including Immortal Happy Water and milk tea. Their success made him exceptionally wealthy and helped reduce corruption and bribery within Martial Soul Hall. 21 45 50 74

He later partnered with Xue Li to pursue a broader goal: creating tools that would allow ordinary people to defend themselves against spirit masters. After persistent experimentation, he produced gunpowder and demonstrated its destructive force by destroying a mountain. 85 87 88

In the Star Dou Forest, Xu Yuan killed a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger after his team's powers were sealed, then absorbed its soul ring. This led him to a mysterious palace, where he accepted a divine armor trial and received an inheritance mark. 97 98
