Leader Wang

Biodata

Background / History

Leader Wang led a five-person soul master squad hired to search the Sunset Forest for medicinal herbs. He was a level 46 Power Attack System Soul Ancestor, making him marginally stronger in soul power than the level 45 Ye Tian, who joined the mission as an additional escort. He initially kept a professional, emotionally distant manner toward Ye Tian. 23

Before the mission, Wang had worked with Yao Rao since both were Soul Elders. The pair traveled north from the Star Luo Empire, cultivating through a mutually beneficial scheme: Yao Rao drained recruited companions of soul power and life force, while Wang used their resources for his own advancement. 24

Wang intended to sacrifice the squad's three Soul Elder members once the medicinal herbs had been secured. He also believed he could personally suppress Ye Tian, whom he judged only by the strength Ye Tian had displayed publicly. 24

Equipment / Items

Relationships

Story Role / Major Arcs

Sunset Forest Herb-Gathering Mission

Leader Wang accepted Ye Tian into his squad for an expedition into the Sunset Forest. During the mission, he led the party toward a Dark Giant Tiger's cave in search of tiger bones and Tiger Tooth Fruit. 23 24

After rushing into the cave ahead of the group, Wang discovered a second, stronger Dark Giant Tiger and emerged badly wounded. The unexpected pair of tigers forced the squad into a retreat, with Yao Rao using her abilities to delay the pursuing beasts. 25

Betrayal and Death

Once the squad reached an inn outside the forest, Wang arranged a banquet under the pretense of celebrating the mission's completion. The wine had been poisoned with Scorpion Tail and Cockscomb Red, but Ye Tian detected the toxins immediately. 25 26

Wang and his allies attacked Ye Tian together. When Ye Tian overwhelmed the group, Wang detonated his left-arm soul bone to force an opening, smashed through a window, and fled. Ye Tian pursued him, then killed him by piercing through his back. 26

Trivia

• Leader Wang's plan against Ye Tian had reportedly succeeded against multiple prior targets, including two level 49 Soul Ancestors. 26
• His death and the disappearance of his squad were immediately understood by the hiring shopkeeper as the likely consequence of Wang attempting to rob Ye Tian. 27
