Background / History
Wang Yi awakened in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit after Electrolux's arrival during Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng's fusion. His sudden appearance leaked an aura that drew powerful beings from the Star Dou Great Forest, forcing Tian Meng to hastily complete the fusion and flee. Tian Meng initially treated Wang Yi with hostility, but could not damage Wang Yi's true form with spiritual attacks 1.
His memories depict an ordinary previous life: a carefree childhood, years of study, university, work, a partner, and financial hardship after being scammed out of a dowry. He shared those memories openly to demonstrate that he held nothing back from Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng 1.
Wang Yi's true form resembles a small yet exceptionally high-status strand of vitality. Its Green Aura strengthens Huo Yuhao's body, accelerates healing, and can stimulate physical potential. Huo Yuhao first named its combat application Berserk after using it during survival training in the Star Dou Great Forest 1 2.
Appearance
Wang Yi normally exists as a spiritual presence within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, though he can manifest independently.
- His true form is perceived as a strand of vitality carrying a sense of life's sublimation 1.
- When appearing before others, he can take the form of a young man floating in midair 1.
- His projected spiritual pressure was convincing enough for an old man to mistake him for a Title Douluo 1.
Personality
Wang Yi is analytical, articulate, and highly pragmatic. Though unfamiliar with the Douluo Continent's soul master system when he first arrived, he studies its history, economics, social structures, and Soul Tool development to formulate long-term plans for Huo Yuhao 1 8 52 53.
He is also conspicuously lazy. He avoids work when possible, prefers reading in the library rather than storing books in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, and sees Huo Yuhao's growing independence as the prospect of a more relaxed future 45 116.
His methods are often morally questionable. Wang Yi advocates grave robbing for Spirit Bones, intends to manipulate their market value, considers coercive recruitment of a Soul Tool teacher, and repeatedly proposes political or marriage-based alliances for Huo Yuhao's advancement 44 53 75 116. However, he initially refuses to kill innocents for vitality because Huo Yuhao would not accept it; desperation later drives him to violate that boundary and suffer Heavenly Punishment 141 146.

Story Role / Major Arcs
Early Guidance and Huo Yuhao's Departure
Wang Yi supports Huo Yuhao from the beginning of his revenge, with his life-force aura helping Huo Yuhao break through his physical limits. After Huo Yuhao escapes the Duke's Mansion, Wang Yi assists his recovery and recommends months of combat-focused training in the Star Dou Great Forest 1 2.
Shrek Academy and White Tiger Family Investigation
At Shrek, Wang Yi helps Huo Yuhao conceal his abilities, analyzes his tactical weaknesses, and pushes for stable development rather than premature conflict. After the battle with Dai Huabin damages Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, Wang Yi gains partial control of his essence and begins managing the resulting cracks 5 21 49.

Wang Yi intends to reduce Spirit Bone prices through mass circulation, establish a related market with Soul Tools, and use trade to obtain resources and political leverage 52 53 54.
Soul Tool Development and Diplomatic Planning
Wang Yi identifies Soul Tools as central to Huo Yuhao's future.
