Background

Yang Jian was taken in by Wang Xian'er as a child and raised by the Star Luo Empire Offering Hall. The organization devoted extensive resources to his development, including Xuanqing Pills, medicinal baths, and the coordinated search for high-quality Ultimate Attribute soul beasts suitable for his rings 2 11.

He grew up alongside Ye Qingyuan, whom he calls his younger sister and whose wish to visit Shrek Academy led him to accompany her there. Although neither needed Shrek enrollment due to their Offering Hall background, the two entered the academy together at level 30 2 4.

Before reporting to Shrek, Yang Jian helped Ye Qingyuan acquire her third soul ring in the Star Dou Great Forest. His Chaos Domain weakened a Cloud Wing Luan enough for Ye Qingyuan to finish it with her Phoenix Feather Slash 1 2.

Appearance

Yang Jian is a tall, well-built boy with long deep-blue hair and a handsome, scholarly appearance. At the time of his Shrek enrollment, he is about twelve years old 3 4.

• Often carries Little White in his arms, making the divine dog's true nature easy for others to mistake for that of a pet 3 9.
• His composed bearing causes Zhang Lexuan to judge him as “not simple” on first meeting 3.
• His appearance and status as a three-ring Soul Elder make him a frequent target of attention from Shrek’s female students 12.

Personality

Yang Jian is notably calm, self-possessed, and difficult to provoke. He does not submit to Zhou Yi’s intimidation, instead challenging her to a duel when she insults the class; throughout the fight, he remains in control despite facing a six-ring Soul Emperor 8 11.

He is protective of Ye Qingyuan, quietly shielding her from unwanted attention and speaking for her when she is uncomfortable addressing unfamiliar men 3. He also helps Jiang Nannan pay her tuition without seeking repayment, though he avoids forcing her to abandon her own wish to repay the debt 6 7.

Despite his generosity, Yang Jian rejects the idea of helping others for nothing. When Ma Xiaotao requests aid with her Evil Fire, he requires her to use her connections to locate an Ultimate Fire soul beast for his fourth ring 14. He remains courteous in negotiations and fights, even when his overwhelming strength makes most opponents unable to challenge him directly 21 29.
