Ye Xuan

Biodata

Physical Description

Ye Xuan possesses a remarkably handsome and refined appearance, often described as having become "even prettier" over time, with a noble and ethereal temperament that is accentuated by his attire 6. His physique exudes an overwhelming masculine presence, likened to a "small sun" that radiates warmth and power, and his aura is deeply alluring to those around him 47. After absorbing the Moon Stone and later fusing with a trace of divine charm, his body was cleansed by moon-white energy and gained an added layer of sacred, noble affinity 5 50. His skin is fair and smooth, and his features are delicate yet striking, contributing to a look that is both handsome and captivating 47. His demeanor is consistently calm, confident, and composed, even in challenging situations 9 37.

• Distinctive Marks: When activating his first soul skill, a pair of white rabbit ears appears on his head, a temporary manifestation of the Bright Moon Demon Rabbit ability 9. He also possesses an External Soul Bone that manifests as tiger claws on his palms, which emit a hum and seem capable of tearing space 47.
• Typical Attire: He is most often seen wearing the exquisite standard uniforms of Spirit Hall, which significantly enhance his noble bearing 6 11. When traveling for sensitive missions, he dons disguises to conceal his true appearance 25. On at least one occasion he wore a tattered pure black leather outfit, but this is not his usual dress 41.

Martial Soul and Abilities

Pokeball Martial Soul

Ye Xuan’s martial soul manifests as a red-and-white sphere roughly the size of a fist, with a black button at its center—a Poké Ball. Unlike conventional martial souls that directly provide attack power or support abilities, the Poké Ball specializes in the capture, storage, and utilization of soul beasts. It possesses the unique ability to “capture” a soul beast by throwing it, binding the beast to the user as a soul ring without requiring the beast’s death 1 2. Once captured, the soul beast is stored within the Poké Ball and can be summoned at will to assist in battle 2 4 10. The martial soul also facilitates a deep soul-bond: as long as Ye Xuan lives, his captured soul beasts cannot die 2. Through resonance with certain soul beasts or soul bones, the Poké Ball can evolve in appearance and function—for example, after resonating with Xiao Wu’s hundred-thousand-year soul bone, it changed from red-and-white to black-and-white with a crescent moon emblem, effectively becoming a “Super Ball” with enhanced capacities 5 6 26. The Poké Ball can also transform its captured beasts’ soul bones into crystallized “stones” (such as the Moon Stone and Leaf Stone) by channeling moonlight or other external energies, allowing the soul beast to reabsorb its own essence 5 27. This ability to convert and store soul bones within the beasts themselves makes Ye Xuan’s martial soul a uniquely flexible tool for growth and combat.

• Applications:

  • Capture and Subdue Soul Beasts: By throwing the Poké Ball at a suitable, injured target, Ye Xuan can bind it as a soul ring and companion. This process does not require the beast’s death, preserving its life and intelligence 1 2.
  • Summoning Allies: Ye Xuan can release captured soul beasts from the Poké Ball to fight alongside him. He has demonstrated summoning multiple beasts simultaneously (Xiao Wu, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Ah Yin) in combat 30.
  • Soul Bone Transformation: The Poké Ball can use external energy (e.g., moonlight) to convert a soul beast’s innate hundred-thousand-year soul bone into a usable “stone” that the beast can absorb to increase its own power, effectively allowing Ye Xuan to retain and enhance the soul bone without removing it 5 27.
  • Healing and Protection: The Poké Ball automatically heals a captured beast if it is injured, consuming Ye Xuan’s soul power. This was demonstrated when Bibi Dong wounded Xiao Wu and the Poké Ball instantly restored her injuries 3.
  • Evolution and Power Sharing: Through resonance with powerful soul beasts, the Poké Ball evolves (e.g., gaining a moon pattern). Additionally, Ye Xuan can temporarily access the abilities of his captured beasts by sharing their power, effectively granting him multiple martial soul states 5 24.

• Limitations:

  • Capture Requires Precision: Ye Xuan must accurately throw the Poké Ball at a target; missing can accidentally capture unintended beings (as happened with Xiao Wu) 1.
  • Soul Power Consumption: Summoning, healing, and switching between captured beasts’ abilities drains soul power. Switching states is especially costly and is avoided unless necessary 24.
  • Beast’s Will and Temperament: Captured beasts retain their intelligence and personality; some may be stubborn or difficult to command (e.g., Evil Eye Holy King is tsundere and hard to order around) 50.
  • Limited Simultaneous Use: While he can summon multiple beasts, they must be recalled and re-summoned individually, and he can only actively use one beast’s possession state at a time 24.
  • Dependence on Beast Strength: The power of summoned beasts scales with Ye Xuan’s cultivation; stronger beasts require higher soul power to maintain 24.

Soul Skills

Ye Xuan’s soul rings are not obtained from killing soul beasts but from subduing them alive via his Poké Ball. Each captured soul beast grants him a soul ring that provides access to that beast’s innate abilities. He has acquired multiple soul rings, each conferring distinct skills:

• First Soul Ring – Xiao Wu (Soft Bone Rabbit → Bright Moon Demon Rabbit) 2 5 9
  Effect: Ye Xuan can temporarily possess all the abilities of a century-level Soft Bone Rabbit (later Bright Moon Demon Rabbit). This includes enhanced flexibility, increased strength, greater speed, and agility—effectively granting him the physical combat traits of the rabbit. Additionally, he has learned Xiao Wu’s ultimate technique, the Explosive Eight-Stage Throw, a devastating grappling attack 6 10.

• Second Soul Ring – Sky Dream Ice Silkworm (Millennium Ice Silkworm) 24
  Effect: Grants the skill Spirit Detection (God’s Vision) . Ye Xuan can release a spiritual perception that originally had a radius of one thousand meters; after fusing with a ten-thousand-year head soul bone, it expanded to two thousand meters. This skill consumes very little energy but leaves Ye Xuan vulnerable in terms of speed and strength while active, as the bulk of soul power is diverted to perception 24.

• Million-Year Evil Eye Holy King Torso Bone Skills (Active & Passive) 46
  These skills are granted by the million-year soul bone rather than a conventional soul ring, but function as part of Ye Xuan’s ability set:

  • Wrath of God (Active): Increases all of Ye Xuan’s attributes by 100% for half an hour. A powerful burst mode with a finite duration 46.
  • Primal Regression (Active): Enhances the bloodline power of all soul beasts Ye Xuan has subdued, boosting all their attributes by 80%. Strengthens his summoned allies significantly 46.
  • Might of God (Passive/Domain): Creates a domain around Ye Xuan. At peak level 46 Soul Ancestor, it covers a radius of 450 meters. Within the domain, Ye Xuan’s own attributes increase by 10%; allied units of similar rank gain 5% enhancement; enemies of similar rank suffer a 10% reduction in attributes. Against lower-level opponents, the domain exerts absolute suppression. Against much stronger foes, the effect diminishes. The domain is growth-type, expanding as Ye Xuan’s cultivation rises 46.

• Additional General Notes on Soul Skills:
  Ye Xuan effectively has access to the full ability sets of each captured soul beast. Bibi Dong noted that because Xiao Wu and Tian Meng are both hundred-thousand-year-level soul beasts, they will continuously recover their former power as Ye Xuan grows stronger, and he can wield all abilities they possess 24. However, switching between possession states (e.g., from Bright Moon Demon Rabbit to Ice Silkworm) consumes significant soul power and is not done lightly 24.

Soul Bones

Ye Xuan’s Poké Ball martial soul has the unique property of transforming the inherent soul bones of his captured soul beasts into crystallized “stones” that can be reabsorbed by the beast or himself, rather than extracting them for his own use as traditional soul bones. This allows him to preserve the beast’s strength while gaining benefits.

• Moon Stone (from Xiao Wu’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone) 5
  When Xiao Wu’s hundred-thousand-year soul bone resonated with Ye Xuan’s Poké Ball under moonlight, it was transformed into a crescent-moon-shaped stone (Moon Stone). This process reformed Xiao Wu into a Bright Moon Demon Rabbit and imbued her with ethereal qualities. The Moon Stone was later absorbed by Xiao Wu, enhancing her own abilities. The resonance also caused Ye Xuan’s Poké Ball to evolve 5 6.

• Leaf Stone (from Ah Yin’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone) 27
  Using his Super Ball martial soul, Ye Xuan converted Ah Yin’s original hundred-thousand-year soul bone into a “Leaf Stone.” This stone was then fused directly back into Ah Yin’s body, allowing her to consume her own essence and maximize her potential. The conversion prevented the soul bone from being looted by enemies and kept it bound to its original owner.

• Million-Year Evil Eye Holy King Torso Bone 44 46
  After tricking the Evil Eye Holy King into submitting, Ye Xuan absorbed its million-year soul bone, fusing it into his torso. This soul bone granted him the two active skills (Wrath of God and Primal Regression) and one passive domain skill (Might of God) described above. The absorption also caused a divine radiance to erupt from Ye Xuan, increasing his soul power to peak level 46 and granting him a measure of divinity. His appearance became more ethereal, and his martial soul gained the ability to condense a body for the Evil Eye Holy King’s remnant soul 44 50.

Power Progression

Relationships

• Xiao Wu
  Xiao Wu is a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit in human form whom Ye Xuan tames as his first spirit ring. Bound by a soul-bond, she is utterly reliant on him for safety and comfort, clinging to him as her only sanctuary 5. Over time, she adapts to life at Spirit Hall and grows more comfortable, even learning her ultimate move, the Explosive Eight-Stage Throw, to share with Ye Xuan 6. Their bond is playful and affectionate—Ye Xuan strokes her rabbit ears and treats her as a partner rather than a servant 11. However, Xiao Wu remains deeply hostile toward Bibi Dong, who killed her mother and once tried to kill her, and she instinctively resists everyone except Ye Xuan 3 5.

• Hu Liena
  Hu Liena is Ye Xuan’s senior sister and the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall. Their relationship evolves from teasing banter into a deep, romantic intimacy. Early on, she teases him about his appearance and reads romance novels, but her feelings deepen over years of training together 6 7. After Hu Liena’s spirit flaw causes emotional instability and increased desires, she seeks comfort from Ye Xuan, and their intimacy leads to her breakthrough to level 50 Spirit King 34 49. Bibi Dong disapproves of their neglect of cultivation, but Hu Liena grows more confident and possessive, openly competing with Ning Rongrong for Ye Xuan’s affection 35 37 49. Ye Xuan reciprocates her feelings, kissing her and solidifying their bond 38.

• Ning Rongrong
  Ning Rongrong is the pampered young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She meets Ye Xuan at the Martial Soul Exchange Meeting and is immediately drawn to him, commanding her sect disciples to invite him over 7. Over time, she develops a strong infatuation, trying to recruit him into her sect and writing him letters 11 35. Her feelings intensify into jealousy when she sees Ye Xuan with Hu Liena; she shares his bed, demands kisses, and openly declares her claim in public, causing tensions in their love triangle 37 38. Despite her mischievous and fiery nature, Ye Xuan treats her with care, and Bibi Dong encourages the relationship for political gain 12.

• Bibi Dong
  Bibi Dong is Ye Xuan’s teacher and the Pope of Spirit Hall. She takes a keen interest in his progress, testing his martial soul by harming Xiao Wu and arranging his participation in the exchange meeting 3 6. She is manipulative yet protective: she praises his cunning at the conference, encourages his relationship with Ning Rongrong to benefit the Hall, and scolds him when he neglects cultivation for intimacy with Hu Liena 12 49. However, she also shows concern for his well-being and reputation, guiding his mission to the Holy King Ruins 36. Ye Xuan remains loyal to her, though he stands up for Hu Liena when Bibi Dong is furious 49.

• Qian Renxue
  Qian Renxue is Bibi Dong’s daughter and the inheritor of the God-level Six-Winged Angel martial soul. Their relationship is antagonistic from the start: Ye Xuan defeats her in a confrontation two years prior, and she holds a grudge, hunting him down to beat him up when he returns to Spirit Hall 32 49. Despite her arrogance and aggression, Ye Xuan tries to mediate her bitter conflict with Bibi Dong, showing concern for her vulnerability beneath her pride 32 34. Qian Renxue remains determined to have her revenge, but she is hesitant to fully attack him in public, aware of the political risks 49.

• Zhu Zhuqing
  Zhu Zhuqing is a collateral descendant of the Star Luo Zhu Clan. Ye Xuan encounters her in the Holy King Ruins while she is being hunted due to her fiancé’s actions. He saves her and directly offers her a position as his assistant, showing his boldness and understanding of the harsh world 41. Initially timid and cautious, she reveals her identity and situation to him, and their interaction is marked by Ye Xuan’s directness and her eventual openness. The bond is nascent, but Ye Xuan’s confidence in his team—including Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong—highlights his protective nature 41.

This demonstrates Ye Xuan's strategic acumen and loyalty to Spirit Hall, earning praise from Bibi Dong 12.
• Golden Generation Assessment Announced: Hu Liena explains the Golden Generation assessment—a survival trial against thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts. Yan and Xie Yue confront Ye Xuan over his spot at the Exchange Meeting, but Xie Yue remains apologetic. The assessment becomes Ye Xuan's next major challenge, setting a three-year timeline for preparation 13.
• Breakthrough to Level 20 and Second Soul Ring Request: One year later, Ye Xuan has broken through to level 20. He requests Bibi Dong's permission to hunt for his second soul ring.

This formal recognition elevates Ye Xuan to the highest rank among the younger generation 24.
• Meeting Qian Daoliu: After leaving the Pope Palace, Ye Xuan is intercepted by the Seventh Worship and taken to meet Qian Daoliu. The Grand Pontiff tests Ye Xuan's soul power, praises his talent and ambition, and asks about his third soul ring plan.

This encounter secures the Grand Pontiff's support and foreshadows future opportunities 17.
• Capturing Tang Hao and Reclaiming Ah Yin's Origin: With the help of the Sixth and Seventh Worships, Ye Xuan tracks down Tang Hao—a wanted fugitive—and captures him alive. He extracts the origin energy of the Blue Silver Empress (Ah Yin) from Tang Hao's spirit ring, leaving Tang Hao crippled and humiliated. This event demonstrates Ye Xuan's strategic prowess, his ability to execute against powerful enemies, and his empathy toward Ah Yin 25 29.
• Third Soul Ring: The Ring of Life: Ah Yin sublimates into the Blue Silver Life Tree after fusing with a modified Leaf Stone, becoming Ye Xuan's third soul ring.

• Journey to the Holy King Ruins: Bibi Dong informs Ye Xuan about the Holy King Ruins in the Star Luo Empire, which hold an opportunity for an Evil Eye White Tiger possessor to ascend to godhood. Ye Xuan, Hu Liena, and Ning Rongrong are sent there for training. This marks the beginning of a quest for higher power and godhood 36.
• Obtaining the Evil Eye Holy King Torso Bone: Ye Xuan tricks the Evil Eye Holy King into becoming his subordinate rather than inheriting its power, obtaining the Million Year Evil Eye Holy King Torso Bone. This grants him the active skills 'Wrath of God' (all attributes +100% for 30 min) and 'Primal Regression' (enhances subdued soul beasts' attributes by 80%), plus a passive domain skill 'Might of God'. This event massively boosts his combat capability and control over his spirit beasts 46.
• Confrontation with Qian Renxue: Two years after their first meeting, Qian Renxue confronts Ye Xuan outside the Pope Palace, still holding a grudge. Ye Xuan remains unfazed and taunts her. However, she "kidnaps" him by grabbing his collar and rushing to the Worship Hall, where Qian Daoliu expresses displeasure at their association. This event deepens the rivalry between Ye Xuan and the angel heir 49 50.
