Background / History
Yang Wudi led the Breaking Clan, a declining clan whose members were renowned for their spear aura and combat discipline. Before joining Star Luo, he was reclusive and headstrong; he had previously refused even the Star Luo Emperor's offer to become Imperial Spear Arts Chief Instructor. 29
He was once connected to the Clear Sky Sect through the four affiliated clans: Strength, Agility, Defense, and Breaking. When the Clear Sky Sect sealed its mountain, it allegedly gave its affiliated clans no warning and abandoned them; more than half of the Breaking Clan was killed or wounded. The event left Yang Wudi with a lasting hatred of the sect and Tang Hao. 60
Dai Mobai visited the Breaking Clan ostensibly to seek Yang Wudi's pharmacological judgment on an unusual Blue Silver Grass. Yang Wudi was fascinated by the plant's extraordinary life force, but rejected the offered Blue Silver Emperor seed rather than place his clan in debt to the Crown Prince. 30 31
Dai Mobai then presented the Six Harmonies Great Spear manual. Unable to resist its complete and sophisticated spear system, Yang Wudi pledged both himself and the Breaking Clan to Dai Mobai. He subsequently ordered the clan to train in the manual and accepted the task of mapping a secret route through the Border Mountains. 32 33
After Star Luo's seizure of Suotuo City, Yang Wudi continued to serve as one of Dai Mobai's most trusted retainers. He later accompanied Dai Mobai and Li Yue to Sunset Forest, where he discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its garden of immortal herbs. 127 131 134
Following the Heaven Dou City incident, Yang Wudi intercepted Dugu Bo's poison attack on Dai Mobai and fought the Poison Douluo outside the city. The Aromatic Silk Beauty neutralized Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, allowing Yang Wudi to press the Titled Douluo into defeat before Dai Mobai ordered him to spare Dugu Bo. 151 154 157
He also accompanied Dai Mobai, Li Yue, and the Zhu sisters into the Star Dou Great Forest when Zhu Zhuqing obtained a two-thousand-year-old Shadow Blade Mantis Soul Ring and advanced to level thirty-six. 173
When Dai Mobai sought to recruit the Speed Clan and remedy Star Luo's intelligence shortage, Yang Wudi recommended himself as the envoy because of his life-and-death friendship with its patriarch, Bai He. He traveled to the declining clan's mountain residence, persuaded Bai He to hear Dai Mobai's offer, and escorted Bai He and more than two hundred Speed Clan Soul Masters to Star Luo City. 176 177 180 181
After the Speed Clan's recruitment, Yang Wudi encouraged Bai Chenxiang to pass Dai Mobai's test for a place at his side. He later witnessed two enormous White Tiger manifestations over Star Luo City alongside Bai He, recognizing changes in Dai Mobai's Holy Light White Tiger during the first and questioning whether the second belonged to the emperor. 187 200 202
Appearance
Yang Wudi is a lean, thin elderly man whose bearing is repeatedly compared to a spear: upright, sharp, and unyielding. 30
- Keeps his spine straight whether standing or seated. 30
- Often wears black clothing during Breaking Clan operations. 69 81
- Has clouded but piercing eyes. 81
- His presence remains imposing even after recalling his martial soul. 69
- Frost formed in his beard while he approached the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. 137
- His face was scorched by the fire poison released when he harvested the Infernal Delicate Apricot. 138
- Wore a gray robe and showed traces of travel fatigue when summoned by Dai Mobai to discuss the Speed Clan. 176
- His black seventh-Soul-Skill aura forms a faint dark outline around both himself and the Soulbreaking Spear. 153
Personality
Yang Wudi is direct, proud, and intensely self-respecting. Although he recognizes Dai Mobai as unusually approachable for a royal, he initially refuses recruitment and an immensely valuable gift because he will not let the Breaking Clan “sell itself” for favors. 30 32
His two greatest passions are spear practice and pharmacology. His devotion to both disciplines can become near-obsessive: he exhaustively analyzes the Blue Silver Emperor seed, then loses his composure upon reading the Six Harmonies Great Spear manual. 31 32
In battle, Yang Wudi is exceptionally calm and precise. His restraint collapses when confronted with Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Sect, or Tai Tan's defense of Tang Hao's son; his rage is rooted in the Breaking Clan's historic losses. 59 60
Yang Wudi is highly vigilant when protecting Dai Mobai. He remained on guard throughout the Sunset Forest expedition, recognized that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's herb garden had an owner, and guarded the spring while Dai Mobai underwent his dangerous transformation within it. 132 139 140
Although he had initially only respected strength, Yang Wudi came to deeply admire Dai Mobai's intellect and long-term planning after realizing that the false news of a hundred-thousand-year soul bone had helped Star Luo seize Heaven Dou territory. 133
His bluntness is tempered by deep loyalty toward old friends. During his visit to the impoverished Speed Clan, Yang Wudi saw through Bai He's attempts to downplay the clan's suffering and directly promised to find it a way forward. 178
Yang Wudi's trust in Dai Mobai is founded on the crown prince's conduct rather than simple personal gain. He used the Aromatic Silk Beauty—an immortal herb Dai Mobai had freely given him—as proof of Dai Mobai's sincerity when persuading Bai He to consider Star Luo's offer. 180
He is candid about the limits of his influence: when first asked to approach Bai He, he promised only that their friendship would secure an audience, not that recruitment would necessarily succeed. 176
He also shows an affectionate, encouraging side toward Bai Chenxiang. He enjoyed answering her many questions during the journey to Star Luo City and later urged her to work hard to pass Dai Mobai's test. 181 187
Abilities & Skills
Soulbreaking Spear
Yang Wudi's martial soul is the Soulbreaking Spear, a twelve-foot black spear formed from dense pitch-black Soul Power. Its attacks are characterized by penetrating force, speed, and precision. 58 74
- Pierced Tai Tan's raised stone slabs without changing its thrusting stance. 59
- Pinned Suotuo City's lord, Moro, to a wall during his attempted ambush of Dai Mobai. 72
- Led the Breaking Clan's wedge formation through Heaven Dou's army during the Battle of Suotuo City. 84
- Its oppressive presence terrifies lower-ranked Soul Masters and ordinary soldiers. 74
- Withstood the freezing aura of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass long enough for Yang Wudi to harvest it, though frost rapidly spread toward his wrist. 137
- Was wreathed in black flames when Yang Wudi used it to breach Pang Fei's turtle-shell defenses. 106
- Annihilated Dugu Bo's poison-mist snakes with a shockwave before the conflict moved outside Heaven Dou City. 151
- Shattered Dugu Bo's seven layers of Soul Power shields and forced the Poison Douluo out of his Jade Phosphor Giant Python Martial Soul Avatar. 157
- Can be thrown and recalled to his hand; outside Heaven Dou City, it flew back from where it had been embedded in the ground when Yang Wudi summoned it. 152
Soul Douluo Cultivation
Yang Wudi is an eighty-second-rank Soul Douluo. 60
| Soul Ring | Configuration |
|---|---|
| 1st–2nd | Yellow |
| 3rd–4th | Purple |
| 5th–8th | Black |
His full eight-ring release can overwhelm thousands of city guards into immediate submission. 60 74
Despite the difference in cultivation, Yang Wudi's spear techniques, poison immunity, and relentless offense enabled him to defeat Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, in direct combat. 154 157
He can extend his spiritual power over a wide area to monitor disturbances. While guarding Dai Mobai at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he spread his senses over the entire site and maintained his vigilance through the night without rest. 140
Tremor
Yang Wudi's first Soul Skill, Tremor, channels vibrational force through the Soulbreaking Spear, making its tip shake so rapidly that it becomes a blurred afterimage. 59
- Used after piercing Tai Tan's stone defenses. 59
- Enhances the spear's penetrating and destructive force through vibration. 59
- Shattered the frost that had spread over the Soulbreaking Spear while harvesting the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. 137
Second and Fifth Soul Skills
Yang Wudi can combine his second and fifth Soul Skills to reinforce the Soulbreaking Spear's offensive force. 106
- Activated both skills against Pang Fei, creating a visible ring of air around himself. 106
- Used the technique with the command “Pierce! Break!” to cover the spear in black flames and assault Pang Fei's layered turtle-shell defense. 106
- Pierced seven defensive shell layers before embedding the spear roughly two feet into Pang Fei's true shell. 106
Third Soul Skill
Yang Wudi's third Soul Skill channels explosive Soul Power through the Soulbreaking Spear into a target's body. He activated it with the command “Explode!” after penetrating Pang Fei's shell. 106
- Uses his third, purple thousand-year Soul Ring. 106
- Attacks internally through the embedded spear tip, bypassing the protection offered by an opponent's outer defenses. 106
- Fatally wounded Pang Fei after the latter mistakenly believed the spear's initial penetration was only a flesh wound. 106
Seventh Soul Skill
Yang Wudi's seventh Soul Skill cloaks both him and the Soulbreaking Spear in a restrained black radiance rather than producing a conspicuous beast-like transformation. 153
- Causes black flames to spread over the Soulbreaking Spear without emitting heat, while distorting the surrounding air. 153
- Greatly enhanced his speed and offensive pressure during his battle with Dugu Bo. 153 154
- Was active when he executed Six Harmonies Great Spear—Phoenix Nods to defeat Dugu Bo. 157
Six Harmonies Great Spear
Yang Wudi received the Six Harmonies Great Spear manual from Dai Mobai and immediately recognized it as an extraordinary, internally complete spear system. 32
- Includes techniques such as Pear Blossom Head Sway, Phoenix Nods, White Snake Plays with Wind, Cloud Dragon Coils the Pole, and Parting Grass to Seek Snake. 32
- Its final principle is described as: “one cut, two advance, three block, four coil, five seize, six thrust.” 32
- Yang Wudi ordered all Breaking Clan Soul Masters to cultivate it after their allegiance to Star Luo. 33
- Its techniques function as powerful self-created Soul Skills, linking into a continuous offense reinforced by quaking force. 154
- Phoenix Nods produced eighty-one rapid spear strikes and culminated in a black phoenix phantom that pierced Dugu Bo's defenses. 157
Pharmacology
Yang Wudi has spent decades studying pharmacology and alchemy. He knows at least several thousand herbs and can identify more than a thousand varieties from memory. 31
- Recognized that the Blue Silver Emperor seed possessed life force surpassing even a Grade Eight Lingzhi. 31
- Could not identify the seed because it was not an ordinary medicinal herb, but the seed of a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor. 31
- Immediately recognized the Aromatic Silk Beauty as an immortal herb and understood its value as the bane of all poisons. 135
- Identified the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's cold poison and understood the danger posed by the Infernal Delicate Apricot's fire poison. 137 138
- Collected and sealed samples of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's icy and fiery spring water, regarding both as exceptionally valuable alchemical ingredients. 142
- Recognized that the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot could neutralize one another through the alchemical principle of using poison against poison. 138
- Used the Aromatic Silk Beauty's poison-defying properties to become immune to Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison. 154
- Identified the Jade Phosphor Seven-Death Flowers and warned that their poisonous pollen could corrode Soul Power, asking for time to prepare antidote pills before entering the field. 132
- Recognized the Lovesick Heartbreak Red after Li Yue picked it. He described it as surpassing the other immortal herbs, attributing to it the power to greatly increase Soul Power, transform the body, revive the dead, and potentially help a Demigod become a God. 141

Relationships
- Dai Mobai — Liege and Crown Prince of Star Luo. Dai Mobai won Yang Wudi's allegiance through the Six Harmonies Great Spear and entrusted him with major military tasks. Yang Wudi later developed profound admiration for Dai Mobai's strategic ability and guarded him during his transformation in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Dai Mobai also promised him future opportunities to take revenge against the true culprit behind the Breaking Clan's suffering, making Yang Wudi's obedience noticeably warmer and more personal. 33 45 73 133 140
- Breaking Clan — Patriarch and commander. He led the clan into Star Luo service and ordered its members to cultivate the Six Harmonies Great Spear. 33
- Tang Hao — Bitter enemy. Yang Wudi holds him responsible for the consequences of the Clear Sky Sect abandoning its affiliated clans. 58 60

- Tai Tan — Former associate from the four affiliated clans and current adversary. Their clash reflected Yang Wudi's resentment against Tai Tan's continued loyalty to Tang Hao. 59 60
- Luo Bu — Suotuo City defense commander compelled by Yang Wudi to secure the remaining city gates during the occupation. 74
- Li Yue — Fellow retainer of Dai Mobai. Yang Wudi traveled alongside her during the Sunset Forest expedition, guarded the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with her, and trusted her strength enough to refrain from intervening in her battle with Yu Tianheng. He respected her endurance while she absorbed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and later identified the Lovesick Heartbreak Red she successfully picked. 131 140 141 147
- Dugu Bo — Former opponent. Yang Wudi intercepted his poison attack on Dai Mobai, neutralized his poison with the Aromatic Silk Beauty, and defeated him outside Heaven Dou City; he withdrew only after Dai Mobai spared the Poison Douluo. 151 154 157
- Bai He — Longtime friend and patriarch of the Speed Clan. Yang Wudi calls him “Old White Bird,” understands his responsibility toward his struggling clan, and personally convinced him to meet Dai Mobai. The two later witnessed the White Tiger manifestations over Star Luo City together. 176 178 180 200 202
- Speed Clan — Allied single-attribute clan. Yang Wudi served as Dai Mobai's intermediary, brought Bai He and the clan's Soul Masters to Star Luo City, and celebrated after Bai He pledged the clan to the Crown Prince. 177 181 186
- Bai Chenxiang — Bai He's granddaughter, who addresses him as “Grandpa Wudi.” During the journey to Star Luo City, Yang Wudi answered her eager questions about Dai Mobai, the Battle of Suotuo City, and the imperial capital. After she requested a place at Dai Mobai's side, Yang Wudi encouraged her to work hard and pass the assigned test. 181 187
- Pang Fei — Enemy defender of Xue Beng. Yang Wudi intercepted him, pierced his turtle-shell defenses, and fatally wounded him with his third Soul Skill. 105 106
Story Role / Major Arcs
Recruitment of the Breaking Clan
Dai Mobai sought Yang Wudi specifically because of his unmatched spear expertise. Yang Wudi refused the Blue Silver Emperor seed, but the Six Harmonies Great Spear manual overcame his resistance; he pledged the Breaking Clan to Dai Mobai and prepared a route across the Border Mountains. 29 32 33
Crossing the Border Mountains
Yang Wudi and the Breaking Clan secretly accompanied Dai Mobai across the Border Mountains toward the Heaven Dou Empire, carrying out the route-mapping mission assigned after their recruitment. 33 45
Yang Wudi personally led the team that located the steep but concealed trail. Before departure, he reported that the clan's hundred elite Soul Masters had mastered the basic forms of the Six Harmonies Great Spear, greatly improving their combat strength. 45
Conflict with Tang San and Tai Tan
After Tang San revealed that Tang Hao was his father, Yang Wudi attempted to kill him in retaliation for the Breaking Clan's past. Tai Tan intervened to protect Tang Hao's son, and the two Soul Douluos fought to a stalemate before Tai Tan withdrew with Tang San and Xiao Wu. 58 59 60 64
Occupation of Suotuo City
Yang Wudi participated in Dai Mobai's covert seizure of Suotuo City's Lord's Manor, saving the Crown Prince from Moro's ambush. He then used the City Lord's Seal and his Soul Douluo pressure to take over the defenses, ordering Luo Bu's troops to seal the remaining gates. 69 72 73 74
Battle of Suotuo City
When Xue Beng brought fifty thousand Heaven Dou troops to Suotuo, Yang Wudi initially favored holding the city but followed Dai Mobai into an offensive charge. He and the Breaking Clan formed a devastating wedge formation that cut through the enemy army without suffering casualties among their eighty-odd fighters. 81 84 87
Yang Wudi later intercepted Xue Beng's protector Pang Fei during the rout. He used the Soulbreaking Spear and a combination of his second and fifth Soul Skills to overwhelm Pang Fei's turtle-shell defenses and prevent him from buying further time for Xue Beng's escape. 105 106
After piercing seven layers of defensive shell and embedding his spear in Pang Fei's body, Yang Wudi activated his third Soul Ring. His command “Explode!” released Soul Power through the spear tip into Pang Fei's interior, fatally wounding the defender as Star Luo troops closed in beyond the main gate. 106
Sunset Forest and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
Yang Wudi accompanied Dai Mobai and Li Yue to Sunset Forest, acting as the group's rear guard and using his superior senses to watch for danger. He followed Dai Mobai through the Jade Phosphor Seven-Death Flower sea and realized that the crown prince's possession of the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone was connected to the continent-wide soul-bone rumor that had distracted Star Luo's rivals. 131 132 133
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yang Wudi was overwhelmed to discover a valley filled with legendary immortal herbs. Dai Mobai rewarded his long service and alchemical expertise by giving him the Aromatic Silk Beauty, an immortal herb capable of neutralizing poisons. 134 135
Yang Wudi harvested the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot at Dai Mobai's command, suffering exposure to both cold and fire poison in the process. After Dai Mobai consumed the herbs and entered the Yin Yang Well, Yang Wudi guarded the site, noticed that the herb garden had been deliberately cultivated by an unknown owner, and stopped Li Yue from recklessly entering the deadly spring. 137 138 139 140
When Dai Mobai emerged safely, Yang Wudi gave him and Li Yue space before accompanying them to the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. After Li Yue's blood offering caused the flower to detach from its stone, Yang Wudi identified it and explained its reputed extraordinary medicinal powers. Before departing the valley, he collected both icy and fiery spring water in jade bottles for future alchemical use. 141 142
Heaven Dou City Incident
Yang Wudi remained with Dai Mobai and Li Yue in Heaven Dou City. During Yu Tianheng's attempt to force his way into Dugu Yan's room, Yang Wudi initially intended to act but chose not to intervene after judging that Yu Tianheng posed no threat to Li Yue. 147
Battle with Dugu Bo
When Dugu Bo attacked Dai Mobai with poison-mist snakes in Heaven Dou City, Yang Wudi destroyed the attack with the Soulbreaking Spear and followed Dai Mobai outside the city to avoid damaging the populace. 151
Yang Wudi confronted the Poison Douluo with his seventh Soul Skill and the black-flamed Soulbreaking Spear. Because the Aromatic Silk Beauty rendered Dugu Bo's poison ineffective, Yang Wudi used the Six Harmonies Great Spear's relentless self-created techniques to force the Titled Douluo into a defensive position. 153 154
When Dugu Bo considered using Medusa's Gaze, Dai Mobai exposed the Soul Bone skill's lengthy preparation time. Yang Wudi thanked him for the warning and intensified his attacks, preventing Dugu Bo from taking the opportunity to activate it. 154
Yang Wudi's Phoenix Nods destroyed Dugu Bo's seven Soul Power shields with eighty-one strikes, broke his Martial Soul Avatar, and left the Soulbreaking Spear at his throat. He withdrew only after Dai Mobai signaled that Dugu Bo should be spared. 157
Star Dou Great Forest Expedition
Yang Wudi accompanied Dai Mobai, Li Yue, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zhu Zhuqing into the Star Dou Great Forest after the party rested in a nearby town. During the expedition, Li Yue crippled a two-thousand-year-old Shadow Blade Mantis for Zhu Zhuqing to kill and absorb. Zhu Zhuqing obtained her third Soul Ring, with the stored power of the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone subsequently raising her cultivation to level thirty-six. 173
Recruitment of the Speed Clan
Dai Mobai later tasked Yang Wudi with contacting Bai He, the patriarch of the Speed Clan, because their friendship gave Yang Wudi access that other negotiators lacked. Yang Wudi explained that Dai Mobai could grant the Speed Clan offensive power without sacrificing its defining speed, giving Bai He reason to consider the alliance. 176 177 179
Yang Wudi presented the Aromatic Silk Beauty as proof that Dai Mobai rewarded capable subordinates sincerely and without hesitation. This persuaded Bai He to lead more than two hundred Speed Clan Soul Masters to Star Luo City to meet the Crown Prince. 180 181
In the capital, Yang Wudi reassured Bai He that service under Dai Mobai could bring the Speed Clan the same benefits the Breaking Clan enjoyed. He personally guided Bai He and Bai Chenxiang through the imperial palace to the East Palace, where his familiarity with the surroundings helped ease Bai He's anxiety. 182 183
After Bai He received the Eight-Slash Blade manual and pledged the Speed Clan to Dai Mobai, Yang Wudi praised the Crown Prince's leadership and invited his old friend to celebrate. 186
Yang Wudi and Bai He subsequently found Bai Chenxiang in a palace corridor after she had privately asked Dai Mobai for a chance to stay at his side. Upon hearing that Dai Mobai had agreed to test her, Yang Wudi encouraged her to work hard and succeed. 187
White Tiger Manifestations over Star Luo City
When a tiger's roar shook Star Luo City, Yang Wudi and Bai He rushed outside and climbed to high points in their courtyard to observe the enormous Holy Light White Tiger phantom above the East Palace. Yang Wudi recognized it as Dai Mobai's martial soul but noticed that it felt different, particularly because a silver-white crescent moon had appeared on its forehead. 200
Later, following Dai Mobai's return from a nearly month-long hunt for an eighty-thousand-year-old Holy Light Silver-Patterned Tiger, another immense White Tiger phantom appeared over the city. Yang Wudi and Bai He thought this manifestation did not resemble Dai Mobai's martial soul and wondered whether it belonged to the Star Luo Emperor. 202
