Background
Fang Yuan transmigrated to Douluo Continent and was raised in Star Dou Forest by Gu Yuena, the Sovereign of Ten Thousand Beasts. Although she ordinarily despises humans and maintains a distant disposition, Gu Yuena directs exceptional affection and protection toward him. Bi Ji also regards him as a child she helped raise. 1 3
At age six, Gu Yuena personally awakened his martial souls beside the Lake of Life. Fang Yuan manifested twin martial souls: the Dark Dragon God, a black dragon bearing an exceptionally pure Dragon God aura, and a pitch-black mechanical wristwatch tool martial soul. The ferocious beasts of Star Dou Forest instinctively submitted to his dragon bloodline, while Gu Yuena refused to place the burden of Dragon Clan revival on him against his will. 1 2
He agreed to study in human society only after confirming that Gu Yuena would accompany him. The pair relocated to East Sea City, where Fang Yuan received private instruction from Musigang before transferring into East Sea Intermediate Soul Master Academy’s Class Five. 3 6 10
Personality
Fang Yuan is unusually composed, polite, and calculating for a six-year-old. He tends to assess risks and practical benefits before acting, whether dealing with powerful families, accepting a Spirit Pagoda traineeship, or lending Tang Wulin money with collateral. 4 22 31
He is not naturally sociable and generally keeps Tang Wulin and Xie Xie at an emotional distance, though he is willing to cooperate with them when doing so serves a purpose. He dismisses romantic attention from classmates and prefers sweets and desserts to socializing. 13 23 31 34
His central motivation is protecting Gu Yuena and eventually assisting the soul beast race and Dragon Clan. Despite this resolve, he privately doubts whether he can truly fulfill the responsibility of reviving the Dragon Clan. 16 25 26
Abilities & Skills
Twin Martial Souls
