Background / History

Yun Xiao was initially a fearful Eastsea Academy student bullied by Zhou Changxi and largely ignored by his dormitory peers. Tang Wulin was the exception, occasionally helping with Yun Xiao’s chores. Chen Ye intervened in Yun Xiao’s subconscious and enabled the awakening of his martial soul, giving Yun Xiao the confidence to confront Zhou Changxi. 16

His awakening developed into a rare twin martial soul, with the Sun as his second martial soul. Yun Xiao immediately demonstrated its destructive potential by knocking Zhou Changxi unconscious with one punch; the academy excused the incident because of his exceptional talent. 17

Chen Ye had arranged Yun Luo’s fate so that Yun Luo would encounter Yun Xiao, be killed by Wu Zhangkong, and trigger Yun Xiao’s potential. Yun Luo later attacked Yun Xiao as an Evil Soul Master and was killed by Wu Zhangkong. Yun Xiao accepted what had happened and left without looking back. 23 29

During the Class Promotion Tournament, Yun Xiao defeated both Class Four and Class Three alone, establishing himself as Class Five’s dominant combatant. 33

By the time of the Riot Spirit Ascension Platform, he had gained three soul rings and developed his command of the Sun Authority. His confrontation with Chen Ye became a mental duel between the Sun Authority and Chen Ye’s authorities; although Chen Ye’s avatar was destroyed, Chen Ye urged Yun Xiao to continue becoming stronger. 62 63

At Shrek Academy, Yun Xiao and Yun Xi became Inner Court students attached to the first-year team. He later entered secluded cultivation with Yun Xi under Yun Ming at the Star Luo Empire’s Hall of Consecration. 141 176

Appearance

Yun Xiao’s eyes gained a pale golden luster following the awakening of his martial soul. 16

• Pale golden eyes after his awakening. 16
• His Sun Martial Soul manifests with a bright red soul ring. 16

Personality

Yun Xiao began as an intimidated and insecure boy, but his awakening transformed him into a confident, resolute fighter. He refuses to retreat against stronger opponents, including a four-ring Soul Ancestor and the combined pressure of two Pathway wielders. 27 192

His confidence frequently becomes arrogance. He was hostile toward Chen Ye, directed killing intent at him, and challenged Shrek’s second-year students to face him two against one. 33 55 143

Despite Chen Ye’s interference with his underlying thinking, Yun Xiao retains a fundamentally righteous nature. Chen Ye describes the Sun Pathway’s influence as filling him with “absolute righteousness,” even though Yun Xiao’s outward personality developed in ways Chen Ye could not fully control. 145

Later, Yun Xiao displays calm acceptance in the face of death, willing to use his remaining power against God Almighty to give Chen Ye an opportunity. 196 197
