Background
Fang Can, a high school senior from Earth, had always believed himself to be a superhuman due to a series of improbable events in his youth: a middle-school scuffle that left him with a comminuted fracture of his right arm coincided with his family winning ten million in the lottery, and a bout of the flu during high school inexplicably boosted his exam scores by 75 points, allowing him to qualify for top national universities 1. As he stood on the cusp of adulthood, he woke up one morning in a dilapidated alley in a pre-modern era town, still in his pajamas, and quickly deduced that he had transmigrated 1. Observing the antique wooden signs, stone-paved streets, and coarse-clothed pedestrians, he remained remarkably calm, confident in his superhuman nature 1. A virtual panel of bone-white mist appeared before him, displaying his attributes — Body 1.2, Spirit 1.2, Qi 1.0 — and two talent traits: [Extreme Misfortune Brings Prosperity] (which turns danger into safety and calamity into blessing) and [Unwavering Resolve] (which awakens the true meaning of life when standing close to death) 1. Almost immediately, five malnourished thugs emerged from behind a pile of crates and attempted to rob him, mistaking his silence for fear; Fang Can responded by slapping one of them away with a casual swing of his hand 1.
- Fang Can triggers his hidden talent, Extreme Misfortune Brings Prosperity, which sharply enhances his physical and mental abilities, and easily defeats all five thugs 2.
- Li Fengtian, Hall Master of the Tiger Fiend Sect, appears in the alley and expresses interest in Fang Can; he tests Fang Can by attempting to punch him, but Fang Can remains still, correctly deducing that Li Fengtian would not kill him 3.
- After the confrontation, Fang Can loots the thugs' belongings and changes into their clothes; Li Fengtian decides to take him as a disciple of the Tiger Fiend Sect, and Fang Can chooses not to eliminate the unconscious thugs, trusting Li Fengtian's assurance that they pose no threat 3.
- Upon arriving at the sect, Fang Can is immediately targeted for extortion by Li Qunfan and his group; he fights back and defeats Li Qunfan, causing the others to retreat 14.
- Over the next several days, Fang Can trains diligently and visits the sect's Library to learn how to read, assisted by the Library caretaker, Elder Li 14.
- On the fifth day, while listening to Elder Li read, Fang Can suddenly and unexpectedly returns to the modern world 14.
- Back in his modern home, Fang Can senses an unknown, powerful presence hiding inside; he deduces it is likely the superpowered individual responsible for a city-wide pillar of fire, tests his luck by tossing cash, and then begins practicing martial arts in full view of the hidden observer 19.
- The observer reveals herself as Jiang Ning'an, a martial artist from the other world (Great Yan); after a tense standoff, the two establish a fragile trust and exchange information about their respective worlds 19.
- Following the All-Kingdoms Grand Competition, Fang Can completes his First Turn breakthrough and the Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment, gaining a tenfold increase in strength 210 243.
- Fang Can joins the Dragon Group's superpowered community and increasingly cooperates with Ji Donglai, the King of Bad Jobs, F-Superman, and other superpowered individuals in managing cross-world crises 215 226 230 243.
- After surviving the Sixth Turn Secret Realm and confronting the consequences of his sins, Fang Can uses the Dragon-Phoenix Unity Pendant to mature his body and later begins consolidating influence over the martial world 309 326 338.
- Fang Can unleashes Blood Colonizers against the Liyang Imperial Guard, declares himself “Heavenly Emperor Fang,” and establishes a system of surveillance and mental linkage over conquered populations 334 336 340.
- He subsequently founds the Fortune Dynasty by accepting national destiny and the faith of all living beings, openly challenging the projections born from their doubts 410.
- In the New Dynasty era, Fang Can publicly exposes the exploitative history of early superpowered society and confronts his father Fang Tao over his fabricated parental narrative 513.
- Fang Can later fabricates a feline Beast Clan history for himself by altering the river of time. Once he exposes the resulting aura, higher-dimensional forces identify him as an intelligent First Turn feline and forcibly transfer him to Beast Fighting Continent's Cat World 532.
Personality
Fang Can’s personality is a volatile fusion of immense pride, ruthless ambition, and a calculating calm that borders on emotional numbness. He is driven by an insatiable greed for victory and self-improvement, often preferring to crush his opponents in their own specialties rather than simply defeat them. While he can project a serene, composed exterior, this is frequently a mask for deep-seated arrogance and a willingness to commit extreme acts of violence and humiliation to assert dominance. He also exhibits a surprising degree of introspection, using a diary to monitor his own thoughts and acknowledging the need for self-restraint against his baser impulses 243 319. However, when he chooses to unleash his true nature, he becomes an unyielding force of nature, indifferent to social norms and the consequences of his actions.
- Arrogance: Fang Can’s pride is so profound that he willingly condenses a Pride Pearl, an Eighth Turn technique, by sacrificing his emotional control and the Golden Chains that suppressed his wicked thoughts 319. He refuses to wear a mask to hide his striking appearance, believing others should feel inferior in his presence, and openly dismisses the potential repercussions of his actions 319. His arrogance extends to challenging entire groups of martial artists or even Fourth Turn cultivators, vowing to make them pay for past humiliations 34 269.
- Greed for Victory: He is “unimaginably greedy” in combat, seeking not merely to win but to openly and honestly surpass his opponent in their own area of expertise 175. He learns and adapts an opponent’s Overlord Spear Intent mid-duel and exclaims, “Because in the end, the only victor will be me,” refusing to settle for any outcome less than total dominance 175.
- Ruthlessness and Humiliation: Fang Can shows no mercy, beating opponents into a state of Lost Heart Madness and ordering his men to strip and hang defeated enemies as a warning 114 198. He engages in a brutal, one-sided slaughter during a competition, eliminating all remaining martial artists with high-speed violence 198. This cruelty is a deliberate tool to intimidate and instill fear.
- Self-Awareness and Introspection: Despite his extremes, Fang Can is introspective, starting a diary to understand his inner self and control his rampant thoughts 243. He acknowledges the severity of his degenerate thoughts and the need for self-restraint, even as he contemplates using dark techniques from his past 243. This self-monitoring adds a layer of complexity to his otherwise impulsive nature.
- Assertiveness and Contempt: He refuses to be treated as inferior, confronting Fourth Turns with the declaration, “I am not made of mud” 269. His interactions are marked by a calm, disdainful tone, and he remains utterly unimpressed by other martial artists, showing no fear or respect 153. A Sixth Turn mocks his “calm demeanor,” calling him “numb as a cold stone” for pretending to be civilized while harboring immense pride 309.
- Authoritarian Idealism: Fang Can believes his exceptional power entitles him to remake society directly. He builds psychic networks, disseminates knowledge, imposes reforms, and judges criminals across worlds with little regard for personal autonomy 340 401 516.
- Selective Loyalty: Though broadly indifferent to organizations and ordinary social obligations, Fang Can favors those who aided him, particularly Ji Donglai, the King of Bad Jobs, and F-Superman 407. His loyalty remains conditional on them not endangering his followers, family, or harem 407.
- Manipulative Confidence: Fang Can is willing to alter concepts, memories, history, and even his own origin when doing so serves his objectives. His creation of a feline historical identity illustrates his willingness to treat reality itself as something that can be edited 516 532.
Abilities and Powers
Extreme Misfortune Brings Prosperity
Extreme Misfortune Brings Prosperity is Fang Can's primary fortune-type superpower, a hidden talent that enhances every aspect of his being—martial talent, combat intuition, learning speed, and physical capabilities—with the greatest boosts occurring when he is closest to death. The ability is so profound that game systems cannot fully analyze it 296, and it causes his luck to surge violently in the face of danger, making him stronger as he nears the brink 309. It is the core mechanism that allows Fang Can to transform desperate situations into opportunities for growth 68.
Applications:
- Drastically improves martial talent, allowing Fang Can to grasp most things at a glance and master them on the first try 267.
- Fuels his combat power in life-or-death battles, enabling him to resist abilities like Heart Manifestation after being killed over seven hundred times 58.
- Permits the safe use of life-burning techniques such as the Evil Tiger Devouring Body Technique without permanent loss of talent, because the ability actually grows talent under extreme stress 68.
- Provides a subjective confidence that allows Fang Can to take risks that would be fatal for others, as he knows his fortune will turn 218.
Limitations:
- The luck boost drops significantly when out of combat, making body modifications laborious during peaceful periods 142.
- Cannot be concealed from higher-realm cultivators, who can easily sense the abnormal surge of fortune in his presence 309.
- Can be blocked or interfered with by other fortune-type superpowers, as seen when divination attempts failed 76.
- Its upper limit is unknown, leaving Fang Can uncertain about the ultimate extent of the ability 296.
Unwavering Resolve
Unwavering Resolve is a complementary immortality-type superpower that ensures Fang Can cannot die, no matter how dire the circumstances. It functions as a logical counterpart to Extreme Misfortune Brings Prosperity, creating a cycle where near-death situations trigger fortune while the resolve prevents actual death 296. The ability supports the heavy lifespan consumption of techniques like the Evil Tiger Devouring Body Technique, allowing Fang Can to burn his life force without fear of expiring 68.
Applications:
- Sustains Fang Can's lifespan even when he repeatedly uses techniques that drain years of life, making him effectively immune to death by old age or overexertion 68.
- Combines with Extreme Misfortune to form a self-reinforcing loop: danger triggers luck, resolve prevents death, and the cycle repeats for exponential growth 296.
- Allows Fang Can to treat any life-or-death gamble as a calculated risk, because the ability guarantees survival as long as the situation is not truly hopeless.
Limitations:
Forbidden Word Method
The Forbidden Word Method is a First Turn inheritance ability that grants immense physical prowess by voluntarily restricting oneself. Upon activation, Fang Can completely seals his dragon-like vitality, exchanging it for overwhelming raw power. His health points drop to 0.1, while his strength, speed, defense, and stamina bar all jump to 200, making any injury instantly fatal 218. This death-defying tightrope walk is precisely what Fang Can seeks, as it synergizes with Extreme Misfortune Brings Prosperity 218.
Applications:
- Multiplies baseline strength from tens of thousands of tons to over two million tons of force, enough to effortlessly crush heads 218.
- Enables Fang Can to contend with opponents several Turns above his own, such as holding his own against Third Turn cultivators 243.
- The risk invokes a strong surge of Extreme Misfortune, further enhancing his combat effectiveness 218.
- Can mortgage aspects of Fang Can's own being—including memories, emotions, flesh, spirit, life, and cultivation—in exchange for power 219.
- At higher levels, its augmentation can enhance inherited abilities and divide his skill capacity into multiple slots 432.
Limitations:
- Any injury, no matter how minor for an ordinary person, results in immediate death due to the 0.1 health pool 218.
- The technique requires perfect control to avoid taking damage; a single mistake is lethal.
- The power boost is temporary and tied to the restriction; maintaining it imposes constant mental strain.
Evil Tiger Devouring Body Technique
The Evil Tiger Devouring Body Technique is an ultimate combat method designed for life-or-death situations, burning talent, lifespan, and sanity to grant a massive temporary power boost. In its early stages, it can briefly increase strength fivefold, allowing Fang Can to match opponents several levels higher 54. However, the side effects are severe—personality becomes bloodthirsty, and normal users would rapidly exhaust their talent and die. Fang Can is the sole exception because Extreme Misfortune Brings Prosperity replenishes talent faster than it is burned, and Unwavering Resolve supports his lifespan 68.
Applications:
- Used frequently in combat to maximize offensive output, especially when facing superior numbers or higher-level foes 68.
- Combines with other techniques like the Forbidden Word Method for devastating results 218.
- Allows Fang Can to fight beyond his normal limits, briefly rivaling cultivators at the sixth level of the Mysterious Pass 54.
Limitations:
- Prolonged use causes a gradual shift in personality toward increased bloodthirstiness, though Fang Can has not yet lost his reason 68.
- The technique burns talent, which is normally permanent for others; Fang Can's unique abilities mitigate this, but the risk remains.
- The power boost is unsustainable for extended periods; the technique is meant for short bursts.
Particle Burst Battle Body
The Particle Burst Battle Body is a body refinement method that grants Fang Can precise control over his cells, allowing him to upgrade his physical hardware—skin, flesh, organs, bones, and spine—to theoretical optimal configurations. At the 5%+5% cell burst level, he can freely manipulate skin and flesh, and he has used it to fine-tune his internal organs for ideal size, hardness, toughness, and positioning 131 142. The technique is fueled by high-speed, minute vibrations that can blur his form into an afterimage 142.
Applications:
- Enables gradual perfection of the body, aligning organs to optimal parameters for enhanced durability and efficiency 142.
- Provides a foundation for other abilities, such as expanding the AT Field by linking it to the constitution 219.
- Allows Fang Can to push his physical limits beyond what normal cultivation would achieve, even at the First Turn 131.
- Permits extreme self-reconstruction, including separating his head from his body, regrowing a new body, and repurposing the former body as a monitoring satellite 336.
Limitations:
- Upgrading the body is extremely laborious when out of combat, as the boost from Extreme Misfortune drops too low to speed the process 142.
- The technique is gradual; it cannot be instantly applied in the middle of a fight without prior preparation.
- Control is limited by the current stage of cultivation—higher levels require unlocking further cell burst percentages.
AT Field
The AT Field is a field that emanates from Fang Can's physical constitution, expanding rapidly as his power amplifies. In its base state it covers about three meters, but can shroud several dozen meters when enhanced 219. The field can be used to connect with others' AT Fields—such as by using the Orchid Acupoint-Flicking Hand technique—overwhelm them, or even trap opponents in a personalized hell for extended periods 286 361. It is a versatile tool for both offense and control.
Applications:
- Used against Yan Chuqing to connect with her AT Field via Interlocking Rings, overwhelming her and trapping her in an AT-field hell for a month 286.
- In the battle with five million Players, Fang Can used his AT Field to connect with all of them, then captured everyone within a thousand-mile radius to form a comet 361.
- Can be condensed into a sphere for direct offensive use, as seen when he prepared to seize control of a gathering 267.
- Expands outward when combined with knowledge melted into the body, acting as a force multiplier in combat 219.
- Allows Fang Can to create a citywide psychic network and Mental Link, transmitting knowledge, coordinating society, and monitoring the thoughts of connected individuals 336 340.
Limitations:
- The range and power of the field are tied directly to Fang Can's physical constitution and current amplification level 219.
- It may be resisted by opponents with strong willpower or higher cultivation, as seen when Fourth Turn experts broke free from his comet 361.
- The field's effects on specific individuals depend on the technique used to link with them, and it may not work equally on all targets.
Heart Manifestation
Heart Manifestation is a mental ability that creates a subjective reality or domain, capable of killing or controlling those trapped within it. Fang Can was subjected to this technique by multiple Heart Manifestation martial artists, but survived and even resisted after being killed over seven hundred times inside the manifestation, thanks to the endless resurgence triggered by Extreme Misfortune Brings Prosperity 58. Later, he developed his own "Second Turn Heart Manifestation," which he used to disrupt the formation of five million Players 361.
Applications:
- Used offensively to disorient and break enemy formations, as seen when the Second Turn Heart Manifestation disrupted the Player army 361.
- Fang Can's experience with the technique grants him resistance to similar mental attacks, allowing him to endure and eventually overcome Heart Manifestation domains 58.
- Can form weapons, project Fang Can's image into the perception of all living beings, create prosthetic limbs, and administer large-scale mental modifications 372 401 431.
- Supports Fang Can's Words Manifesting Law, through which spoken blessings can grant concrete benefits such as health, luck, and longevity 439 440.
Limitations:
- The effectiveness of Fang Can's own Heart Manifestation is not fully detailed; it may be less refined than dedicated Heart Manifestation cultivators.
- Resisting the technique requires immense willpower and the fortune boost from Extreme Misfortune; without those, it is usually lethal.
- The ability is likely limited by Fang Can's own Turn level and understanding of mental cultivation.
Blood Colonizer
Blood Colonizer is a proliferative flesh technique created from Fang Can's own activated tissue. A piece of his flesh can consume, convert, and spread through other bodies, turning victims into self-propagating extensions of his will 334.
Applications:
- Overruns and takes control of members of the hundred-thousand-strong Imperial Guard, causing mass panic and collapse within their ranks 334.
- Can reproduce until reaching a chosen threshold, after which Fang Can can command the colonizers to self-destruct and prevent unchecked expansion 334.
- His detached flesh can also operate independently as a defensive system, returning toward him at hypersonic speed when his primary body is endangered 367.
Limitations:
Heavenly Shift and Soul Ring Power
After confronting Dongfang Wuji, Fang Can obtains and develops the Heavenly Shift, including its seventh level. The technique permits extraordinary control over space, thought, and self-division 330 340. The Sin of Wrath later grants him [Soul Ring Power], by which those killed by Fang Can become soul rings that augment his strength 349.
Applications:
- Enables Fang Can to travel through space and operate freely in outer space 340.
- Lets him establish a psychic network over an entire city and distribute knowledge, economic systems, and administrative coordination at immense speed 340.
- Allows him to gain additional strength from enemies he personally kills, including Fourth Turn martial artists 349 372.
- Supports the creation of satellite bodies and remote projection of the Mental Link 336 340.
Limitations:
Power Progression
| Level | Description | Key Achievements |
|---|---|---|
| Mysterious Pass (Ninth Layer) | The immediate stepping-stone before the First Turn; a chasm separates it from the Heaven Ascending Path. Most martial artists struggle to cross this gap, but for exceptional talents it is surmountable with ease. | Fang Can reaches the limit of the Ninth Layer, sensing the chasm and the abstract staircase beyond. He can cross to the First Turn at will but chooses to push his body further 107. |
| First Turn (Heaven Ascending Path) | Baseline strength for an ordinary Mortal Shedding Body at the tenth layer is 60 tons; after the First Turn it increases tenfold to 600 tons. Fang Can’s baseline is roughly 90,000 tons—over a hundred times the normal First Turn—after completing the Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment 243. | – Defeats a First-Turn expert in combat less than one month into his cultivation 142. – Spars with General Elder Yang (a Third-Turn suppressing to First-Turn) and learns to adapt under pressure 161. – Achieves baseline strength comparable to a conventional Second-Turn martial artist 243. |
| Second Turn | A formal realm that Fang Can reaches relatively quickly; his accumulated power from the Dragon-Feng Unity Pendant and the overcoming of the Sin of Arrogance cause his strength to surge far beyond the normal Second-Turn ceiling 343. | – His strength at this stage is already half-a-step into the Fifth Turn, thanks to the century of stored power from the pendant 343. – Theoretically capable of breaking through to the Third or Fourth Turn in one burst, but he chooses to proceed step-by-step to avoid emotional backlash 343. |
| Third Turn | Fang Can’s baseline rises from peak Second-Turn to that of an average Third-Turn after a few minutes of frenzied experience. With the Forbidden Word Method he can contend with most Third-Turn opponents 296. The gap between Third Turn and Fourth Turn is described as “hundreds or thousands” of times in magnitude 296. | – One month after his First-Turn breakthrough, his strength is anchored at the average Third-Turn level 296. – Incapacitates Xing Xi, a Third-Turn cultivator, with a single gesture 299. – Defeats Yan Chuqing, a Fourth-Turn Pavilion Master, using the AT Field and traps her for a month 286. – Can cultivate dozens of martial artists into talents within a month using his Cauldron Body 211. – Later proclaims himself at peak Third Turn while accepting the faith necessary to establish the Fortune Dynasty 410. |
| Fourth Turn | Fang Can’s physical fitness, after training in the Sixth-Turn Secret Realm, far exceeds the peak of the Fourth Turn 355. He also possesses a formless power that allows him to fight multiple Fourth-Turn experts alone. He later formally advances to the Fourth Turn, becoming an all-encompassing combatant through inherited abilities and the Forbidden Word Method 432 433. | – Defeats the joint efforts of seven Fourth-Turn experts in an instant at the ruins of the Heaven Refining Sect 355. – His AT Field and Orchid Acupoint-Flicking Hand overwhelm Yan Chuqing, a Fourth-Turn cultivator 286. – Reaches a state where he believes he can annihilate trillions with one punch, while actively moderating the alienation of his mindset 433. |
| Fifth Turn | Fang Can initially possesses only the threshold and accumulated power for a Fifth-Turn breakthrough 343. He later becomes a formal Fifth-Turn practitioner, mastering the seventh level of Heavenly Shift and traveling through space 340. | – Possesses the strength threshold required for a Fifth-Turn breakthrough, but deliberately suppresses it to avoid the backlash of multiple sins 343. – Travels through outer space while studying Heavenly Shift 340. – Manipulates timelines with greater proficiency than the Penguin God during a conflict involving multiple temporal bodies 481. – Raises Xing Li to peak Fifth Turn 516. |
| Sixth Turn | A realm associated with an ownerless universe; entering a fallen Sixth-Turn’s secret realm is extremely dangerous. Fang Can encounters a Sixth-Turn soul who has been dead for over ten thousand years and who can read his memories and abilities 309. | – Enters the Sixth-Turn Secret Realm; his cultivation is suppressed inside the inverted dome space 309. – The Sixth-Turn soul confirms that his abilities (Extreme Misfortune Brings Prosperity and Unwavering Resolve) have no concealment to a higher-realm being 309. – After training in the secret realm, his physical fitness surpasses the peak of the Fourth-Turn 355. |
| Seventh Turn | Seventh Turn is the minimum realm required to remain in the past for extended periods and to truly traverse time; the sentient Chronicle of Ages is the sole known Seventh-Turn existence of its native world 482. Fang Can reaches a level at which he can alter the river of time and fabricate historical evidence for a new identity 532. | – Learns the principles governing higher Turn temporal travel from the Chronicle of Ages 482. – Revises his own past and fabricates a Beast Clan feline origin before revealing it to the Martial World 532. |
| Ninth Turn (Theoretical) | The highest turn mentioned in the context; the game system can analyze Fang Can’s superpower, Unwavering Resolve, up to this level, but cannot analyze Extreme Misfortune Brings Prosperity 296. | – No practical achievements; only a theoretical ceiling for his abilities 296. |

Relationships
Ye Qingshi
Ye Qingshi is Fang Can’s traveling companion and cultivation partner, accompanying him on his journey north to the Imperial Capital for the All-Kingdoms Grand Competition 109. Their relationship is marked by mutual concern and shared dedication to martial advancement. She asks Fang Can to train with her, but he declines, citing his own cultivation priorities 142. Despite this, she remains supportive, showing worry for his safety as they travel and listening with him to an exaggerated storyteller’s tale of his deeds 120. Fang Can, in turn, acknowledges her dedication—Ye Qingshi struggles through intense training but persists, earning his recognition 143. Their dynamic is pragmatic rather than romantic; Fang Can maintains a confident, commanding presence, while Ye Qingshi defers to his leadership but also demonstrates her own will, such as when she prompts him to train together. She is one of the few figures who accompanies him closely during pivotal early chapters, serving as both a witness to his rapid growth and a steadying presence amidst his escalating conflicts.
Their bond later becomes openly intimate. Following Fang Can’s return from later conflicts, Ye Qingshi reunites with him before Little Liu and Jiang Ning'an interrupt them, leading to discussions over Fang Can’s expanding harem 401.
Jiang Ning'an
Jiang Ning'an is a martial artist from Great Yan who first meets Fang Can when she reveals herself in his home after crossing worlds, initially suspicious but quickly establishing a fragile trust 19. She becomes a devoted believer in Fang Can’s abilities, unfazed by widespread skepticism—while other disciples doubt his feat of defeating a First Turn expert, Jiang Ning'an is the only one who believes without hesitation 142. Her feelings deepen into infatuation, which her master Liu Qingmeng scolds her for, emphasizing duty over personal desires 109. Despite the reprimand, Jiang Ning'an remains determined to attend the All-Kingdoms Grand Competition to be near Fang Can, though she restrains her impulses in her master’s presence 168. Fang Can’s own feelings are complicated: after entering First Turn, he struggles with his emotions and feels guilty about his actions with Liu Qingmeng’s clone while thinking of Jiang Ning'an 242. This guilt suggests a genuine affection for her, though he does not act on it overtly. Their relationship is defined by her unwavering faith and his internal conflict between duty, desire, and the pressures of his cultivation path.
Jiang Ning'an remains part of Fang Can’s intimate circle in later events, joining Little Liu in confronting him and Ye Qingshi over how he intends to accommodate the women attached to him 401.
Liu Qingmeng
Liu Qingmeng is a high-ranking cultivator from Tribulation Sword Mountain and the master of Jiang Ning'an. She acknowledges Fang Can’s talents early on, planning to borrow his fortune-related abilities for a secret realm expedition 142 143. She expresses concern for his progress, playfully rebuking him for his perfume-laden scent when they meet before the Grand Competition 168. Liu Qingmeng is protective of Jiang Ning'an, disapproving of her disciple’s early romance with Fang Can and reprimanding her for it 109 143. The relationship takes a complex turn when Fang Can, after his Inverted Sect training, refuses her offer to leave Suxin Pavilion, causing her to feel hurt and betrayed 269. Additionally, Fang Can has a secret, guilt-ridden involvement with Liu Qingmeng’s clone, spending a day with her while struggling with his urges and feeling remorseful toward Jiang Ning'an 242. This hidden dynamic adds layers of tension: Liu Qingmeng (the original) remains primarily a mentor and concerned ally, but the clone’s interactions blur boundaries. Later, she discusses Ning'an’s sudden cultivation improvement with Fang Can, indicating continued professional collaboration 298. Overall, the relationship is multifaceted—part mentorship, part forced partnership, and part illicit attachment through the clone.
The relationship eventually becomes direct rather than limited to Liu Qingmeng’s clone. Fang Can confirms that he has made Liu Qingmeng his woman, a development Little Liu reluctantly accepts despite jealousy 392.
Fang Tao
Fang Tao is Fang Can’s father, and their relationship is strained. After Fang Can gains fame and power as a Superpowered individual, Fang Tao calls him, expressing anxiety about their awkwardness and inviting him to visit relatives 244. He seeks reconciliation, admitting regret for past actions and trying to bridge the gap. Fang Can, however, remains indifferent and calm, maintaining a cool demeanor throughout the conversation 244. Despite this emotional distance, Fang Can emphasizes the principle of filial piety, acknowledging the cultural importance of family bonds. The interaction reveals the societal changes brought by Fang Can’s status—his relatives have gained sudden wealth and status because of him—yet Fang Can shows little personal warmth toward his father. The relationship is defined by obligation rather than affection, with Fang Tao desperate for connection and Fang Can detached, fulfilling the requirements of filial duty without genuine emotional investment.
This apparent filial restraint ultimately proves conditional. Fang Tao later lives in a delusion that he created Fang Can’s success through superior parenting, but Fang Can publicly exposes both Fang Tao’s lies and the darker history surrounding his upbringing, making clear that he will not permit his father to exploit his name 513. The exposure of Fang Tao’s past reveals that he had once contemplated aborting Fang Can and later mistook a series of mundane promotions for evidence that he himself possessed luck-based powers 514.
Yan Chuqing
Yan Chuqing is the Fourth Turn Pavilion Master of Suxin Pavilion, making her one of the most powerful cultivators Fang Can faces. Their initial encounter is a direct confrontation: Fang Can uses his Orchid Acupoint-Flicking Hand and Interlocking Rings to overwhelm her AT Field, defeats her, and traps her in an AT-field hell for a month 286. He plans to devour her cultivation in the future to advance his own 286. After this defeat, Yan Chuqing’s pride is humbled, but she does not become submissive. When Fang Can later appears at Suxin Pavilion after the Inverted Sect, she tests his resolve, remaining condescending toward lower-Turn individuals while being intrigued by his audacity 269. She orders her subordinates to continue training him, maintaining a sense of control. The relationship is fundamentally adversarial—Fang Can sees her as a resource to be harvested, while she views him as an inferior who has temporarily bested her. There is no trust or cooperation, only power struggle and lingering animosity.
Feng Qiaoyan
Feng Qiaoyan’s relationship with Fang Can begins when she discovers that gaining experience by flicking his fingers is far faster than traditional cultivation or killing monsters 298. This creates a strong attachment; she finds it difficult to resist his allure, feeling her desires becoming harder to control. Fang Can remains composed and refuses marriage proposals that sects offer, prioritizing the nation’s interests over personal alliances 298. Feng Qiaoyan’s attachment is one-sided and driven by cultivation pragmatism, though it carries an emotional edge. She is among the newer additions to his circle, and her dependence on him for rapid advancement deepens her personal connection. Their bond is defined by her reliance on his unique properties and his tolerance of her presence as a tool for growth, with no indication of romantic reciprocity from Fang Can.
King of Bad Jobs
The King of Bad Jobs is a key ally and collaborator of Fang Can, serving as a strategist and operative. He provides detailed intelligence on Superpowered individuals’ abilities—such as Elementalization, Anti-Memetic Shroud, and Consciousness Manipulation—and can borrow their powers through prior handshakes 243. Fang Can proactively contacts him to discuss configurations for upcoming battles 243. They work closely during the fight against Yan Chuqing, with the King of Bad Jobs aiding in transportation and borrowing skills 286. Their partnership extends to planning larger campaigns, including transforming Xiang Yincheng into a novel protagonist and remodeling captured martial artists 244. The King of Bad Jobs is excited about his “Infinite Protagonist Project” and shares his progress with Fang Can 243. Their relationship is one of mutual respect and effective cooperation, built on shared objectives—survival and domination in a world of escalating threats. Fang Can trusts his judgment enough to coordinate complex moves, while the King of Bad Jobs relies on Fang Can’s power and luck to execute their plans. There is no personal intimacy, only a focused, goal-oriented bond.
Their partnership becomes strained by the scale of Fang Can’s later conflicts. Fang Can warns the King of Bad Jobs to flee when necessary because he may no longer be able to protect him amid the coming dangers 367.
Ji Donglai
Ji Donglai is the leader of the Dragon Group and a central senior figure within Fang Can’s superpowered circle. He first identifies Fang Can as an anomalous superpowered individual whose martial arts and Heart Manifestation resemble those of the other world 84. After meeting him, Ji Donglai adds Fang Can to the Superpowered Family List, recognizing that Fang Can has become capable of protecting himself 95 97.
Fang Can retains substantial respect and favoritism toward Ji Donglai even after his rapid growth, identifying him as one of the people who helped him most 407. Their relationship is nevertheless defined by ideological tension: Ji Donglai insists that superpowered individuals and ordinary people should be treated equally, while Fang Can’s priorities center on his own followers and intimate circle 407.
Little Liu
Little Liu is Fang Can’s Heart Manifestation avatar. She displays jealousy and possessiveness toward Fang Can, particularly over his relationship with Liu Qingmeng, but ultimately accepts his decisions 392. Fang Can replenishes her mana after reuniting with her and later includes her in discussions concerning his harem and personal relationships 392 401.
Chronicle of Ages
The Chronicle of Ages is a sentient inheritance formed from the legends and literary works Fang Can leaves behind, together with the faith of all living beings. As an entity completely owned by Fang Can, it considers him its father and refers to him as “Dad” 482. Despite possessing at least Seventh Turn power and dominating its future timeline, it seeks Fang Can’s guidance because it fears the greater powers beyond its native world 482. Their connection is both familial and transactional, with Fang Can recognizing that the Chronicle’s claims are grounded in its origin from his legacy and faith 482.
