Physical Description

Lin An is a boy of about ten years old with an astonishingly beautiful and delicate appearance that borders on the feminine, frequently leading strangers and even powerful observers to mistake him for a girl. His features are so striking that he draws immediate attention and admiration from nearly everyone who sees him, from random passersby at the station to seasoned experts like Leng Yaozhu, who is instantly captivated by his looks and feels a strong impulse to take him home and raise him. Even Tang San, within Tang Wulin’s Sea of Consciousness, initially mistakes Lin An for the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, a testament to the ethereal, almost otherworldly quality of his face. Despite his delicate, frail build and a physique that he himself considers weak and in need of improvement through a bloodline change, his presence commands attention and provokes strong reactions—jealousy, protectiveness, desire, or possessiveness—in those around him.

• His face is extremely beautiful and feminine, causing him to be mistaken for a woman on multiple occasions. 1 61
• He has a delicate, frail physique, which he is dissatisfied with and seeks to strengthen. 6 18
• His appearance is so striking that it inspires immediate fascination and a desire to possess or protect him in characters such as Gu Yue, Leng Yaozhu, and Tang Wulin. 1 49 61
• He is described as handsome and wealthy, attracting confessions and jealousy from peers. 40
• Even as a child, his looks are mature enough to captivate adults, including the host of a powerful organization and a divine being. 49 61
• His already androgynous features become a source of anxiety after he assimilates the Golden Dragon King bloodline, whose side effect transformed Tang Wulin into Tang Wuling. Lin An believes his own eyebrows, chin, skin, and overall appearance may be becoming more feminine, though no complete transformation has occurred. 144
• Although the Golden Dragon King bloodline increases his vitality, recovery, and physical potential, it does not immediately repair the weak bones and meridians that underlie his frail constitution. 157
• Subsequent intensive training and advancement to level 26 substantially improve his physical condition. His measured strength rises from seventy-nine kilograms to approximately 260 kilograms, although he remains physically weaker than the principal frontline members of his group. 210 214

Personality

• Indifferent and nonchalant: Lin An consistently displays a detached, unbothered attitude toward external provocations and social pressures. When Wei Xiaofeng insults him and splashes soup on him in the cafeteria, Lin An remains completely calm and simply ignores the provocation 13. He also maintains this indifference when Gu Yue sends him 47 messages expressing her feelings and offering help with his Battle Armor; he ignores most of them and only responds briefly, showing he values his own status and power far more than her advances 7. Likewise, after arriving at East Sea Academy and receiving constant attention, he remains composed and annoyed but not ruffled 1.

• Cold and stern when enforcing discipline or expectations: Despite his usual nonchalance, Lin An can adopt a severe, unyielding tone when he feels someone is not applying themselves. When Gu Yue is assigned technical books on forging, soul guidance engineering, and artificial intelligence, she tries to bribe him with one million Federal Credits monthly to avoid studying. Lin An refuses outright and calls her “mentally deficient,” displaying a cold, stern side that pushes others to take their responsibilities seriously 17.

• Composed and mature under pressure: Lin An never loses his composure in tense or potentially dangerous situations. When faced with Wu Zhangkong’s cold dismissal during his interview, he remains unfazed and continues to express admiration for the teacher’s principles 5. During his match against Zhou Changxi, he stays confident and collected, even while his opponent mocks his support-type martial soul and privileged background 19. His negotiation with Leng Yaozhu for the Empty Cicada spirit is conducted with businesslike calmness, never showing intimidation despite her powerful position 49.

• Eager to prove himself in combat: Despite his delicate appearance and support-type martial soul, Lin An actively seeks out real fights and wants to demonstrate his own strength. He is excited when a one-on-one combat tournament is announced 18. In his first match, he refuses a powerful defensive soul tool from Gu Yue because he wants to prove himself on his own merits 18. Later, when facing Zhou Changxi, he displays a mixture of confidence and bewilderment that his opponent defeats himself without Lin An needing to land a single blow 19.

• Kind and considerate toward others, but not overly sentimental: Lin An shows genuine kindness, especially when he notices someone else’s distress. He goes out of his way to bring bedding to Tang Wulin’s dormitory and offers his help 5. Later, he feels guilty about Tang Wulin’s difficult situation and decides to be kinder to him, even sharing his untouched Grade A meal with him despite Gu Yue’s hostility 36. When Tang Wulin confesses his romantic feelings, Lin An rejects him gently but firmly, explaining that he likes girls and that a relationship is impossible, showing both empathy and honesty 59.

• Mysteriously self-absorbed but not openly arrogant: Lin An struggles to express admiration for anyone but himself, leading to awkward social moments. When Ouyang Zixin confesses to him, he politely rejects her by claiming he has someone he admires, but internally he cannot reveal that the person he admires is actually himself—leaving a trail of confusion and jealousy among the other characters 40. This reflects a quiet, hidden narcissism rather than overt boasting.

• Determined to overcome personal limitations: Lin An is acutely aware of his own weaknesses and proactively seeks to change them. After realizing the limits of his support-type martial soul and frail physique, he resolves to obtain the Golden Dragon King bloodline to become stronger 6. His later training of his Space-Time Dragon bloodline and pursuit of rare talents demonstrate that this determination remains central to his actions 66. After obtaining the Golden Dragon King bloodline, he recognizes that potential alone cannot replace physical training and begins considering a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Tang Wuling as a route to the Golden Dragon Body. 157

• Detached from romantic entanglements: Lin An consistently rebuffs romantic advances, demonstrating a clear preference for maintaining distance. He ignores Gu Yue’s heartfelt messages and even her suggestion that she could change her gender for him 7. When Gu Yue tries to protect him in a fight, he dismisses her concern and refuses her assistance 18. His rejection of Tang Wulin’s confession is final and leaves Tang Wulin heartbroken 59. This emotional detachment is a core trait, rooted in his focus on self-improvement and personal goals.

• Strategic and ambitious in pursuing power: Lin An carefully evaluates the risks and conditions involved in obtaining powerful talents. He abandons his attempt to obtain Wu Zhangkong’s Frost Sword Heart after determining that its requirements are excessively dangerous, then turns his attention to Leng Yaozhu’s golden-rarity Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart instead 66.

• Proud but willing to seek expert help: Although Lin An possesses exceptional theoretical knowledge and Battle Armor blueprints, he recognizes that his lack of practical forging experience has stalled his progress. Rather than force a flawed solution, he approaches Leng Yaozhu for professional assistance, studies her recommendations carefully, and collaborates with her to revise Gu Yue’s Battle Armor design. 104 106

• Protective of his boundaries and masculinity: Lin An firmly rejects sexual or romantic advances from both Shadow Brake and Leng Yaozhu, emphasizing that he is still a child when Leng Yaozhu attempts to pressure him. His fear of losing his male identity becomes especially pronounced after learning the Golden Dragon King bloodline’s feminizing effect on Tang Wuling. 104 106 144

• Pragmatic and increasingly fearful of forced intimacy: Lin An recognizes that his unusually compatible bloodline resonance with Tang Wuling could produce a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but he is alarmed by her strength, possessiveness, and growing dependence on him. He attempts to redirect her affection toward Ouyang Zixin rather than exploit their compatibility. 217 218

• Persistent in physical self-improvement: Although he initially regards strenuous training as dangerous to his naturally frail body, Lin An continues Wu Zhangkong’s post-tournament regimen. His rapid physical progress after reaching level 26 demonstrates that he does not rely solely on bloodlines, wealth, or soul skills to address his weaknesses. 210

Background

Lin An is a transmigrator who arrived in the world of Soul Land bearing the rare Rainbow Dragon martial soul, a support-type spirit whose abilities draw in elemental power to enhance cultivation speed and soul power quality for himself and those nearby 1 6. He hails from a family of immense wealth and influence, with ties to the Universal Heavy Industry conglomerate, a background that grants him significant privilege and resources but also attracts resentment from peers who view him as a "back-door hire" 5 13 19. Upon arriving at East Sea City, Lin An enrolls at East Sea Academy, where he undergoes an interview with the instructor Wu Zhangkong; despite Wu Zhangkong’s initial skepticism toward Lin An's privileged upbringing, Lin An’s composed demeanor and admiration for the teacher’s principles earn him a place in Class Five 5. The academy extends him special treatment from the outset—a single dormitory room with a practice area—and Dean Long Hengxu shows eagerness to please him, further underscoring the influence of his family name 4 5. Already a two-ring Soul Grandmaster at level 22 despite being only ten years old, Lin An possesses the soul skills Seven-Colored Favor and Seven-Colored War Song, which boost his own attributes and those of allies, yet he remains acutely aware of his physical frailty and the limitations of his support-type martial soul, driving him to seek the Golden Dragon King bloodline as a means of self-improvement 6 18 19.

Lin An’s background includes extraordinary technological protection. The True God-level mecha Rainbow Light Verdict is deployed over East Sea City to guard him, while the god-tier mecha Shadow Brake also answers to him. The scale of this protection is sufficient to alarm both East Sea Academy and the Spirit Pagoda, and Lin An’s federally protected status triggers an immediate mecha warning when Ye Yingluo confronts him 26 27 30 80. He is also connected to the Rakshasa God’s lingering power: he obtained a wisp of the Rakshasa God and used it in the creation of Shadow Brake, whose unstable negative emotions he can help suppress 41.

Before entering East Sea Academy, Lin An had already achieved full marks in every subject and designed One-Word Battle Armor blueprints at age ten. His abilities and family background were sufficient for Shrek Academy to offer him admission, but he deliberately chose East Sea Academy because he wished to study under Wu Zhangkong. 5

Lin An’s system-like perception identifies bloodlines and talents as visible entries. He initially identifies the Golden Dragon King bloodline within Tang Wulin and the Silver Dragon King bloodline within Gu Yue, then learns that acquiring the former requires helping Tang Wulin reach level 20 and suppressing one of the Golden Dragon King bloodline’s riots. 2 3 He ultimately fulfills these conditions after Tang Wuling reaches level 20, copies the Golden Dragon King Bloodline entry, and gains the trait himself. 142 144

Following the Class Advancement Tournament, Lin An studies the interaction of the Golden Dragon King, Silver Dragon, and Space-Time Dragon bloodlines within his body. Ordinarily, such mixed bloodlines would cause chaotic soul power and fatal meridian damage, but his traits instead sustain an unusual equilibrium. Lin An identifies the Wife of the Dragon God trait as the center of this balance, though he resents its tendency to intensify his dragon affinity and attract possessive dragon-related entities rather than grant straightforward combat power. 205

Abilities and Powers

Seven-Colored Favor

Lin An’s first soul skill, Seven-Colored Favor, is a support-type ability inherent to his Rainbow Dragon martial soul. When activated, it draws in elemental power from the surroundings, creating an enriched cultivation environment that dramatically increases both the speed of cultivation and the quality of soul power for those within its range. The effect is potent enough to be felt throughout an entire dormitory building, prompting others to seize the opportunity to cultivate 6.

• Significantly accelerates cultivation speed for Lin An and those nearby 6.
• Enhances the purity and quality of soul power drawn into the user 6.
• Covers a wide area, affecting everyone within range, as demonstrated when the entire boys’ dormitory experienced its benefits 6.
• Can provide shields and buffs to allies during combat training, stimulating the dragon bloodlines of Gu Yue and Tang Wuling 94.
• Its passive cultivation field increases the circulation speed of nearby soul power by more than thirty percent. 3 37
• During the Class Advancement Tournament final, Lin An combines the skill with Seven-Colored War Song to reinforce Gu Yue, Tang Wuling, and Xie Xie while they face Class One. 178

Seven-Colored War Song

Lin An’s second soul skill, Seven-Colored War Song, is an attribute-boosting ability that amplifies his physical and spiritual capabilities. Unlike direct offensive skills, it enhances his overall combat performance, allowing him to compensate for the inherent frailty of his support-type martial soul. In battle, it is activated to raise his attributes to levels that can rival more combat-oriented soul masters 19.

• Boosts Lin An’s attributes, including strength, speed, and endurance 19.
• Enables him to effectively face opponents in close combat despite his support-type classification 19.
• Considered a versatile enhancement suitable for both defensive and offensive situations 19.
• Produces a Rainbow Light Shield around its target and raises all attributes by fifteen percent. 19
• The enhancement doubles to thirty percent for dragon-attribute targets. 19
• Lin An can apply the skill to multiple allies simultaneously; during Wu Zhangkong’s special training, it manifests around Gu Yue, Tang Wuling, and Xie Xie as a protective shield. It is also referred to as Seven-Colored Battle Armor. 94
• When both soul skills are fully activated during the Class Advancement Tournament final, a seven-colored pillar of light raises the attributes of Gu Yue, Tang Wuling, and Xie Xie by thirty percent and strongly stimulates Tang Wuling’s Golden Dragon King bloodline. 178

Dragon of Time and Space

An enigmatic ability that manifests as an “Entry detected: Dragon of Time and Space Lv1” within Lin An’s vision. When triggered, it halts the flow of time in the surrounding world, freezing all motion and consciousness except his own. The nature of this power suggests a nascent control over the fundamental forces of time and space, with the level indicator implying that it can be developed further 50.

• Freezes time in a localized area, bringing all external activity to a standstill 50.
• Grants Lin An the ability to act or observe while time is paused 50.
• Indicates a potential for growth, as the level can be increased over time 50.
• Its activation caused a measurable three-second space-time discontinuity within the Spirit Pagoda, which Leng Yaozhu investigated and attributed to possible time-altering technology connected to Lin An 52.
• By the Class Advancement Tournament, Lin An can maintain a genuine Time Stop for approximately 3.5 seconds, allowing him to act against Wei Xiaofeng while the latter is frozen. 184

Space-Time Dragon Bloodline

Lin An possesses and actively trains a Space-Time Dragon bloodline, allowing him to use his time-stopping ability in combat. By Chapter 66, he can maintain Time Stop for three seconds and exploit that window to launch a rapid sequence of attacks 66.

• Supports a three-second Time Stop interval during his early training. 66
• Allows Lin An to land up to nine Elemental Heavy Strikes during the stopped-time interval. 66
• Strengthens his ability to compensate for the direct-combat limitations of his Rainbow Dragon martial soul. 66
• Improves his explosive speed, allowing him to throw three punches within one second during physical testing. 66
• Supports Time Flash, a short-duration time-related acceleration ability that improves from 0.6 seconds to 0.8 seconds after Lin An reaches level 26, though repeated use requires him to stabilize his soul power. 210
• Its time-stop capability enables Lin An to incapacitate Wei Xiaofeng by targeting an unshielded weak point after determining that his ordinary offensive power could not defeat the transformed opponent within the available interval. 184

Golden Dragon King Bloodline

Lin An copies and assimilates the Golden Dragon King Bloodline trait after helping Tang Wuling reach level 20 and suppressing a bloodline riot. The trait gives him a higher physical ceiling, greater vitality, and stronger recovery, though it does not immediately resolve the damaged physical foundation that leaves him weak in direct combat. 142 144 157

• Raises Lin An’s vitality, recovery ability, and long-term physical potential. 157
• Does not directly grant the strength, speed, reflexes, or robust physique of a trained assault-type Soul Master. 157
• Carries a possible feminizing side effect, demonstrated by Tang Wuling’s transformation from Tang Wulin; Lin An fears that assimilating the trait may eventually affect his own sex characteristics. 144
• Its second level, the Golden Dragon Body, requires Lin An and Tang Wuling to master a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with an extremely high degree of compatibility. 157
• Lin An later confirms that his Seven-Colored Dragon Soul Power has a natural affinity for Tang Wuling’s Golden Dragon King bloodline, making a Martial Soul Fusion Skill increasingly plausible. 217

Silver Dragon Bloodline and Bloodline Equilibrium

Lin An possesses a Silver Dragon bloodline in addition to his Golden Dragon King and Space-Time Dragon bloodlines. The three dragon bloodlines circulate in a precarious but stable balance rather than tearing apart his soul power and meridians as such incompatible forces normally would. 205

• Allows Lin An to contain the Golden Dragon King, Silver Dragon, and Space-Time Dragon bloodlines simultaneously without immediate bloodline collapse. 205
• Contributes to the broader dragon affinity and elemental potential associated with his Rainbow Dragon soul power. 178 205
• Appears to be stabilized by the Wife of the Dragon God trait rather than through Lin An’s own conscious control. 205
• Does not eliminate the danger of his poor offensive output against opponents with substantially stronger defenses or cultivation. 200

Talent Replication and Analysis

Lin An’s system-like abilities allow him to identify exceptional talents as entries and assess the conditions necessary to acquire or replicate them. He considered obtaining Wu Zhangkong’s Frost Sword Heart but rejected the plan after judging its requirements potentially fatal. He subsequently chose to pursue Leng Yaozhu’s golden-rarity Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart 66.

• Identifies talents and their rarity, including Frost Sword Heart and Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart 66.
• Allows Lin An to evaluate the acquisition requirements and risks of a target talent 66.
• Enables him to prioritize targets strategically rather than pursuing power recklessly 66.
• Allows him to perceive bloodline entries, including Gu Yue’s Dragon God Bloodline and Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King bloodline. 2 3
• The acquisition progress of Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart is linked to Leng Yaozhu’s emotional state rather than physical distance. 128
• Lin An identifies the conditions for the Golden Dragon King Bloodline entry early in his relationship with Tang Wulin, requiring that Tang Wulin reach level 20 and survive a bloodline riot. 2

Fate Manipulation

Lin An possesses an innate connection to the flow of destiny, similar to the legendary Emperor Auspicious Beast. This power passively influences events around him, causing improbable outcomes that align with his intentions or interests. Those sensitive to the currents of fate, such as Gu Yue, can sense the shift in destiny when Lin An is involved, recognizing it as an active manipulation of luck and probability 21.

• Causes unforeseen but advantageous events, such as a lightning strike knocking out an opponent mid-battle 21.
• Alters the fate of those around him, subtly guiding circumstances to his benefit 21.
• Affects the fortunes and outcomes of conflicts without direct physical intervention 21.
• His apparent Heaven’s Favor causes later tournament opponents to be injured, intimidated, or to forfeit, although Lin An himself suspects external interference or bribery 22.
• During the initial Class Five tournament, fate repeatedly protects Lin An through coincidences, including Zhou Changxi’s fall, Li Chushui’s lightning strike, and the failures or forfeitures of later opponents. 19 21 22

Reverse Scale Bond

Lin An shares a unique spiritual connection with the dragon-type being Gu Yue through the Reverse Scale—a mystical scale that serves as a lifeline between them. This bond allows the two to perceive each other’s emotions and mental states across distances, enabling deep empathic communication. The Reverse Scale also acts as a protective measure, capable of autonomously intervening to shield Lin An from threats 45 61.

• Enables telepathic or empathic sharing of feelings, such as guilt, unease, or sorrow 45.
• Activates defensively; the Reverse Scale can repel physical threats, as seen when it forcefully pushed Tang Wulin away 61.
• Strengthens the emotional link between Lin An and Gu Yue, fostering a sense of closeness even when apart 45.
• Leng Yaozhu temporarily takes possession of the scale while working with Lin An, creating the risk that Gu Yue will react violently if she discovers it missing. 106

Wife of the Dragon God

Wife of the Dragon God is an unusual trait visible to Lin An through his entry system. It is connected to Gu Yue’s perception of him and later proves central to the coexistence of the multiple dragon bloodlines within his body. Lin An considers the trait more troublesome than useful because it draws the attention and attachment of dragon-related beings while doing little to directly solve his combat shortcomings. 3 205

• Stabilizes the balance among Lin An’s Golden Dragon King, Silver Dragon, and Space-Time Dragon bloodlines. 205
• Intensifies his affinity with dragon bloodlines and contributes to their abnormal reactions around him. 205 217
• Is associated with the recurring attention of the rainbow-haired Space-Time Dragon entity, Gu Yue, and Tang Wuling. 205 206
• Provides no obvious direct offensive enhancement, which frustrates Lin An given his weak physique and low attack power. 205

Battle Armor Design and Forging

Lin An is a gifted Battle Armor designer whose theoretical knowledge and blueprints are unusually advanced for his age. However, he lacks the hands-on forging experience required to independently solve all material and circuit problems, leading him to enlist Leng Yaozhu’s assistance for Gu Yue’s armor. 5 104

• Designed One-Word Battle Armor blueprints by age ten. 5
• Possesses theoretical concepts that even the ninth-rank Heavenly Forger Leng Yaozhu finds exceptionally advanced. 104
• Revises Soul Guidance arrays, material proportions, and structural designs under Leng Yaozhu’s guidance. 106
• Assists Leng Yaozhu in forging Gu Yue’s Seven Luminaries Silver Scales Battle Armor, while Leng Yaozhu performs most of the actual forging work. 128 163
• Oversees the Battle Armor’s initial completion and explains that Gu Yue must personally contribute her soul power, elements, and bloodline fluctuations for maximal compatibility. 162 163

Phoenix Plume

Leng Yaozhu gives Lin An a Phoenix Plume after their Battle Armor discussions. It is both a protective item intended to help him in danger and a means for Leng Yaozhu to monitor him. 106

• Can protect Lin An in dangerous circumstances. 106
• Contains a tracker and camera placed by Leng Yaozhu. 106

Mecha Assets

Lin An commands or is protected by multiple exceptionally powerful mechas tied to Universal Heavy Industry. These include Rainbow Light Verdict, a True God-level mecha deployed to protect him, and Shadow Brake, a god-tier mecha created using a wisp of the Rakshasa God 27 30 41.

• Rainbow Light Verdict provides continuous protection over East Sea City at astronomical energy expenditure 27.
• Shadow Brake can scan major locations in East Sea City, including East Sea Academy and the Spirit Pagoda 30.
• Shadow Brake possesses protective mechanisms that react to perceived threats toward Lin An 52.
• Lin An can calm or purge Shadow Brake’s volatile negative emotions 41.
• Rainbow Light Verdict is a domain-based, target-locking True God-grade mecha capable of wide-area scanning and all-weather surveillance over East Sea City. 91
• Shadow Brake’s crash during the Holy Spirit Cult’s assault alerts Lin An to the possibility that Rainbow Light Verdict’s mainframe has also been compromised. 190
• The Holy Spirit Cult identifies Lin An as a capture target of the highest priority, making the defensive role of his mecha assets crucial during the tournament attack. 188 190

Relationships

Gu Yue

Gu Yue's relationship with Lin An is characterized by intense obsession, possessiveness, and a desperate pursuit of his affection. From their first meeting, she openly claims him as her "wife from a past life" and persistently tries to win him over despite his initial indifference and outright rejection 9 11. Her fixation leads her to bombard him with messages, resulting in a harassment fine that Lin An pays, showing a mix of his kindness and her recklessness 8. Gu Yue's actions toward Lin An are driven by a belief in a destined connection, and she becomes increasingly bold, clinging to him even when he resists 15 34. She publicly declares him her husband and marks her territory, though Lin An maintains firm boundaries and refuses to move in with her 58. Despite her possessiveness, Lin An shows occasional care—carrying her when she is tired and accepting her Reverse Scale in a gesture of mutual trust 15 58. Her feelings for him cause her to view anyone who receives his attention as a threat.

Gu Yue’s identity as the Silver Dragon King is eventually revealed, further explaining her draconic resonance with Lin An and the intensity of her attachment to him 94. Lin An’s support buffs can provoke her dragon bloodline, which she interprets as proof of the power of their bond 94. Her jealousy also extends to Shadow Brake and Leng Yaozhu; she reacts with particular distress to the importance Shadow Brake holds for Lin An and to Lin An’s interest in Leng Yaozhu’s talent 41 66.

Gu Yue's relationship with Tang Wulin is hostile and competitive, rooted in her perception of him as a romantic rival for Lin An. She treats him with cold indifference during their Shura Field match, easily defeating him while showing no concern for his injuries 20. Her animosity deepens after Lin An offers to help Tang Wulin increase his soul power, sparking jealousy that makes her insult and verbally attack Tang Wulin 11. The enmity escalates to the point where Gu Yue develops a cold, calculated intent to kill Tang Wulin, sensing a shift in destiny that ties him to Lin An 21. She also physically distances him from Lin An by kicking him away and maintains a hostile demeanor even when Tang Wulin tries to be respectful 15 36.

Following Tang Wulin’s transformation and appearance as Tang Wuling, Gu Yue’s rivalry with him continues rather than abates. The two openly fight to determine who is more suited to Lin An, with both suffering visible injuries. Gu Yue seeks to expose Tang Wuling’s deception to Lin An and remains determined to prevent Tang Wuling from taking his attention 94 95 99.

Gu Yue's interactions with Xie Xie are marked by possessiveness and aggression. She warns Xie Xie not to speak to Lin An, showing her territorial nature 9. When Xie Xie forfeits his match against her, she accepts his acknowledgment of her superior strength without warmth 20. She teases him for his fear of heights, but her underlying hostility surfaces when Xie Xie receives Lin An's generosity; she resents Lin An's offer to cover Xie Xie's spirit soul costs, viewing it as a threat to her position 37 48. Gu Yue also physically attacks Xie Xie after he accidentally witnesses her nosebleed during training, indicating her general hostility toward anyone close to Lin An 25.

Gu Yue’s attachment grows increasingly fearful after Lin An encounters ancient dragon-related entities. She becomes afraid that he may be taken from her and therefore refuses to leave him alone, even reverting to a smaller dragon form and using studying as a pretext to remain in his arms. 143 155 She also entrusts Lin An and Leng Yaozhu with the completion of her Battle Armor, temporarily removing her bloodline restrictions to imprint it with her Silver Dragon King source. 163

After Lin An and Tang Wuling begin testing their bloodline resonance, Gu Yue’s jealousy becomes more vulnerable than aggressive. The sight of them holding hands leaves her emotionally devastated; she refuses food, cries while Lin An feeds her, and later withdraws from his room, leaving Lin An unsettled by her absence. 216 217 Her reaction confirms that Tang Wuling’s growing compatibility with Lin An is as threatening to her as the attention he receives from Shadow Brake and Leng Yaozhu. 217

Tang Wulin

Tang Wulin's relationship with Gu Yue undergoes a dramatic shift from initial admiration to wariness and rejection. Early on, he is attracted to her, but after learning of her past-life confession to Lin An, he feels betrayed and becomes cold toward her 9. Gu Yue's hostility toward him only intensifies, especially after Lin An offers to help Tang Wulin with his cultivation, causing Tang Wulin to feel confused and hurt by her sudden aggression 11. During their Shura Field match, he refuses to surrender despite her overwhelming power, displaying stubborn determination while Gu Yue remains indifferent to his injuries 20. Tang Wulin later feels guilty about breaking a promise to Lin An and tries to maintain respectful distance from Gu Yue, but she continues to view him with suspicion and resentment 34 36.

Tang Wulin's bond with Lin An is built on mutual assistance, guilt, and growing friendship. Lin An initially offers to help Tang Wulin rapidly increase his soul power, a gesture that sparks Gu Yue's jealousy 11. Later, Lin An helps Tang Wulin clear his meridians, exhausting himself in the process, and decides to join Tang Wulin's team to assist with bloodline issues 25. Tang Wulin feels guilty for breaking his promise not to tell Gu Yue about Lin An's identity, and he apologizes, while Lin An remains understanding 34. Lin An also shows kindness by sharing his Grade A meal with Tang Wulin, who is shy and appreciative 36. Tang Wulin's determination to improve himself leads him to ask Lin An for a loan to purchase spiritual items, which Lin An grants 37. Tang Wulin respects and appreciates Lin An's help, though their interactions are sometimes complicated by Gu Yue's jealousy.

Tang Wulin eventually confesses his romantic feelings after Lin An gives him the Century Ice Crystal Fruit and Century Red Flame Fruit. Lin An rejects him kindly but decisively, stating that he likes girls and that they cannot be together 59. During their later attempt to fuse the spiritual items, the Golden Dragon King bloodline overwhelms Tang Wulin with possessiveness, causing him to pin Lin An against a wall before Gu Yue’s Reverse Scale repels him and renders him unconscious 61.

Within two weeks, Tang Wulin appears at East Sea Academy as the female Tang Wuling, introduced as Tang Wulin’s younger sister and inheritor of his aspirations. Tang Wuling retains the Golden Dragon King bloodline and later fears Lin An discovering that the feminine identity was adopted to deceive him 72 99. As Tang Wuling, he continues competing with Gu Yue for Lin An’s attention and fights her during special training 94 95.

Tang Wulin's relationship with Xie Xie is one of friendship and shared experiences. They are classmates and often act together, such as when they both enthusiastically consume a medicinal meal and argue over who should deliver breakfast to Lin An first 8 15. Xie Xie encourages Tang Wulin to add Lin An as a friend, and they both exhibit competitive eagerness to support Lin An 4. Tang Wulin appears to sympathize with Xie Xie when Xie Xie reacts to Lin An's views on support-types 14. Their camaraderie is straightforward, without the tension that marks Tang Wulin's interactions with Gu Yue.

Tang Wuling eventually admits that her transformation was caused by the Golden Dragon King bloodline and insists that she and Lin An can now be together. Lin An reacts with anger and fear after realizing that he has copied the same bloodline, leaving their relationship strained despite her continued affection. 144 Lin An nonetheless continues considering Tang Wuling as a possible partner for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill because their fusion could unlock the Golden Dragon Body. 157

By the later training period, Tang Wuling’s attachment to Lin An is strengthened by their natural bloodline resonance and their long history of cultivation together. She becomes distressed when Lin An creates distance, fears being abandoned when he speaks privately with Mu Xi, and cries after he insists that she leave the room. 217 218 Lin An believes that this attachment may be a mistaken dependency arising from the Golden Dragon King bloodline, Martial Soul compatibility, and his support, rather than a wholly independent romantic choice. 218

Tang Wuling’s formidable physical growth also makes Lin An increasingly wary of her. While he still considers her the most suitable partner for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he privately fears that her strength and possessive instincts could place him in danger if her beastly nature erupts. 217 218

Xie Xie

Xie Xie's relationship with Lin An is defined by gratitude and loyalty. He quickly develops respect for Lin An, willingly addressing him as his "adoptive father" after Lin An offers to cover his spirit soul costs 37. Xie Xie recognizes Lin An's kindness and power, and he forfeits his match against Gu Yue, acknowledging her strength—a decision that contrasts with Tang Wulin's stubbornness 20. He also encourages Tang Wulin to add Lin An as a friend, showing his desire to include Lin An in their circle 4. He reacts to Lin An's disdain for support-types with sympathy, indicating his understanding of Lin An's struggles 14.

Lin An’s decision to spend 700 million Federal Credits on Xie Xie’s ten-thousand-year Empty Cicada spirit soul profoundly deepens Xie Xie’s loyalty. The successful absorption awakens Xie Xie’s bloodline and grants him a powerful new spirit skill, validating Lin An’s faith in his potential 49 50. By the later special training, Xie Xie explicitly states that he now regards Lin An only as an adoptive father and no longer harbors impure thoughts toward him 96.

Xie Xie's interactions with Gu Yue are strained due to her possessiveness over Lin An. Gu Yue warns him not to speak to Lin An, and she physically attacks him when he accidentally witnesses her nosebleed, highlighting her hostility 9 25. Xie Xie, in turn, fears her power enough to forfeit their match, but they also share moments of teasing when Gu Yue mocks his fear of heights 20 48. Despite her aggression, Xie Xie does not retaliate and seems to accept her dominance.

Xie Xie's friendship with Tang Wulin is one of mutual support and shared activities. They eat together, compete for Lin An's attention, and react in unison to events, such as when they both prioritize consuming a valuable medicinal meal over dignity 8 15. Xie Xie shows sympathy for Tang Wulin's feelings toward Gu Yue, and they appear to have a comfortable, brotherly dynamic. This relationship becomes strained after Tang Wulin’s transformation into Tang Wuling, particularly when Tang Wuling beats Xie Xie during the fallout from her fight with Gu Yue 99.

During special training, Xie Xie relies heavily on Lin An’s shields and thirty-percent dragon-attribute-enhanced support. He credits the Rainbow Light Shield with compensating for his weaknesses and enabling him to attack without being touched. 157

After supporting Gu Yue during her emotional crisis, Xie Xie fears that her unstable possessiveness has placed him on a personal “hit list.” Lin An largely ignores these fears while focusing on the dangers presented by Tang Wuling’s bloodline compatibility. 217

Shadow Brake

Shadow Brake is Lin An’s god-tier mecha and an important, emotionally charged presence in his life. Lin An created her with the Rakshasa God’s wisp, and he can suppress or purge the negative emotions that destabilize her soul 41. Although she normally appears emotionless and indifferent, her protective mechanisms activate in response to threats involving Lin An 52.

Gu Yue considers Shadow Brake a serious rival for Lin An’s attention. Their confrontation after the Spirit Pagoda incident becomes a tense standoff marked by Gu Yue’s killing intent and Shadow Brake’s cold lack of reaction 41 52. Shadow Brake’s importance to Lin An contributes directly to Gu Yue’s emotional turmoil and possessive behavior 41.

Shadow Brake’s artificial emotions develop into explicit jealousy and romantic attachment. She makes advances toward Lin An, which he rejects, and becomes distressed by his closeness with Leng Yaozhu. 104 106 When Lin An neglects to purify her for an extended period, the Rakshasa God’s negative influence intensifies, contributing to increasingly forceful behavior toward him. 114

During the Holy Spirit Cult’s attack on the Class Advancement Tournament, Lin An immediately rushes toward Shadow Brake despite Gu Yue’s attempts to protect him, demonstrating the importance he places on her safety. 188 When Shadow Brake crashes, Lin An worries that Rainbow Light Verdict’s mainframe may have been compromised, recognizing that the failure threatens both his personal protection and the wider battlefield. 190

Leng Yaozhu

Leng Yaozhu is initially captivated by Lin An’s extraordinary appearance upon meeting him at the Spirit Pagoda, to the point of wanting to take him home and raise him. Nevertheless, she conducts their negotiation for Xie Xie’s Empty Cicada spirit soul in a businesslike manner, selling it for 700 million Federal Credits and accepting Lin An’s condition that the absorption process be recorded for research 49.

After discovering the three-second space-time discontinuity left during Xie Xie’s absorption, Leng Yaozhu suspects Lin An’s connection to time-altering technology and orders the relevant monitoring records sealed 52. Lin An later identifies her Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart as a golden-rarity talent worth pursuing after deciding that Wu Zhangkong’s Frost Sword Heart is too dangerous to obtain. He approaches her at the Spirit Pagoda while presenting himself as an admirer and potential spiritual confidant 66.

Their later interactions develop into a mixture of professional collaboration, attraction, and mutual leverage. Lin An seeks her aid as a ninth-rank Heavenly Forger to resolve the material and structural problems in Gu Yue’s Battle Armor, while Leng Yaozhu initially resents being approached for help with another woman’s armor. 104 105 She nevertheless gives him the Phoenix Plume for protection, warns him to be cautious around Gu Yue, and works with him to revise the blueprints. 106

Leng Yaozhu eventually confesses her feelings to Lin An, while he pretends not to understand the confession. The pair subsequently begin forging Gu Yue’s Battle Armor together, with Leng Yaozhu handling the primary forging work and Lin An contributing his blueprint knowledge. 128 Her growing closeness to Lin An and her protective conduct toward him intensify Gu Yue’s hostility toward her. 163

During the Class Advancement Tournament, Leng Yaozhu reacts immediately when Lin An is endangered, preparing to intervene with the pressure of a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo before Tang Wuling reaches him first. 181 Her response demonstrates that, notwithstanding their complicated personal dynamic, she remains seriously protective of him.

Wu Zhangkong

Wu Zhangkong is Lin An’s Class Five teacher and one of the few adults initially unmoved by Lin An’s status, wealth, and appearance. Although he is skeptical of Lin An’s privileged background, he accepts him into Class Five after Lin An expresses admiration for his principles and declares that he specifically chose East Sea Academy to study under him. 5

Wu Zhangkong remains sharply critical of Lin An’s weak body and lack of practical combat ability. He initially resists adding him to the Class Advancement Tournament roster because he considers Lin An a potential liability, but Lin An is ultimately selected as the team’s support specialist. 90 93 94 Rather than send Lin An into direct sparring against Gu Yue, Tang Wuling, and Xie Xie, Wu Zhangkong assigns him the role of maintaining Seven-Colored Favor and applying Seven-Colored Battle Armor to the group. 94

Following the tournament and the Holy Spirit Cult crisis, Wu Zhangkong intensifies Lin An’s physical training. His harsh regimen contributes to Lin An’s rapid improvement in strength, soul power, and Time Flash duration after reaching level 26. 210

Mu Xi

Mu Xi is Ouyang Zixin’s close friend and Tang Wuling’s senior sister through the Eastsea City Blacksmith Association. She initially views Lin An with hostility and calls him a scumbag, though his appearance quickly weakens her certainty and leaves her flustered. 217

Lin An approaches Mu Xi privately not out of romantic interest, but because he wants her assistance in contacting Ouyang Zixin. He bluntly tells Mu Xi that he is not interested in her and explains his plan to encourage Ouyang Zixin and Tang Wuling to spend time together, hoping Tang Wuling’s former feelings for Ouyang Zixin can redirect her attachment away from him. 218 Mu Xi is angered by the proposal, both because she is protective of Ouyang Zixin and because she considers Lin An’s attempted solution insensitive and manipulative. 218

Ouyang Zixin

Ouyang Zixin is a student who previously confessed to Lin An and was gently rejected after he stated that he already admired someone else. Her rejection contributes to the misunderstandings surrounding Lin An’s hidden self-admiration and Tang Wulin’s feelings toward him. 40

Although absent from Lin An’s later conversation with Mu Xi, Ouyang Zixin becomes central to his plan for managing Tang Wuling’s attachment. Lin An recalls that Tang Wulin had genuine youthful feelings for Ouyang Zixin and hopes that reconnecting the two may give Tang Wuling a healthier emotional direction than her increasingly intense dependency on him. 217 218

Lin An

Lin An's relationship with Gu Yue is complex, marked by his initial aloofness, his gradual acceptance of her attention, and his ability to set firm boundaries. He rejects her past-life confession outright and tells her to stop contacting him due to surveillance concerns 8 9. He maintains a cool demeanor, refusing her offers of money and calling her "mentally deficient" when she tries to buy his favor 17. However, he also shows care—paying her harassment fines, accepting her Reverse Scale in exchange for clearing further fines, and carrying her when she is exhausted 8 15 58. He allows her to stay close during training and even shows mild affection, though he consistently resists her more possessive demands, such as moving in together 48 58. Lin An sees Gu Yue as someone who needs to study and mature, assigning her technical books despite her resistance 17. His willingness to trust her with his help indicates a deepening bond, but he remains cautious of her possessiveness and the potential consequences.

Lin An's relationship with Tang Wulin is one of mentor-like generosity and growing camaraderie. He offers to help Tang Wulin improve his soul power, assists in clearing his meridians, and agrees to join his team to help with bloodline issues 11 25. He shares meals with Tang Wulin and loans him money for cultivation resources, showing a patient and supportive attitude 36 37. Lin An also feels guilty for the awkward situation caused by his interactions with Gu Yue, and he tries to be kinder to Tang Wulin, who in turn appreciates his kindness 36. Despite Gu Yue's jealousy, Lin An maintains a respectful and helpful demeanor toward Tang Wulin.

Lin An later directly asks Tang Wulin whether he likes him, accepts the resulting confession without cruelty, and rejects the possibility of a relationship because he likes girls 59. He remains unaware of the full extent of Tang Wulin’s subsequent transformation into Tang Wuling and the deception behind that identity, even as Tang Wuling continues to compete with Gu Yue for his attention 72 94 99.

After learning that Tang Wuling’s Golden Dragon King bloodline caused her sex transformation, Lin An becomes angry that she withheld this information while he was attempting to obtain the same trait. Even so, he later considers their potential compatibility for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill necessary to acquire the Golden Dragon Body. 144 157

Lin An's interactions with Xie Xie are characterized by casual generosity that inspires deep gratitude. His offer to cover Xie Xie's spirit soul costs leads Xie Xie to address him as his adoptive father, a gesture Lin An accepts without fanfare 37. Lin An does not react negatively to Xie Xie's actions, and he allows Xie Xie and Tang Wulin to bring him breakfast, indicating a relaxed acceptance of their efforts to befriend him 8 9. Lin An's disdain for support-types is shared with Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, who sympathize with his perspective 14. Overall, Lin An cultivates a circle of allies through acts of generosity and understanding, even as Gu Yue's possessiveness complicates these bonds.

Lin An’s relationship with Shadow Brake is one of creator, protector, and emotional stabilizer. He created the god-tier mecha using a wisp of the Rakshasa God and takes responsibility for suppressing the negative emotions associated with her volatile soul 41. Her overwhelming power and apparent closeness to Lin An make her a source of conflict with Gu Yue 41 52.

Lin An remains largely unaware of the full emotional depth of Shadow Brake’s attachment. He treats her advances as inappropriate programming or instability and attempts to establish boundaries, while her jealousy intensifies when he spends time with Leng Yaozhu. 104 106 114

Lin An’s relationship with Leng Yaozhu evolves from a calculated attempt to obtain her Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart talent into a professional partnership centered on Gu Yue’s Battle Armor. He values her forging expertise, actively takes notes during their discussions, and trusts her judgment on difficult technical issues. 66 104 106 Though he rejects her romantic pressure and is wary of her manipulation, he also recognizes her genuine concern for his safety and accepts her protective Phoenix Plume. 106

Lin An’s later approach to Tang Wuling combines fear, concern, and calculation. He accepts that their bloodlines have the compatibility needed for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but he fears that repeated cultivation will intensify her possessiveness and place him at risk. He consequently seeks Mu Xi’s help to reconnect Tang Wuling with Ouyang Zixin, whom he regards as Tang Wulin’s more authentic past romantic interest. 217 218
