Background

Ye Fan is a boy from Blue Star who lived in Saint Guide Village with his elder sister, Ye Guyi. For years, Ye Guyi repeatedly protected him from evil soul masters pursuing their Angel Clan bloodline, earning both his deep respect and his lasting hatred of evil soul masters. Before awakening his martial soul, he helped the villagers by delivering water daily and formed a close bond with Xiao Ya. 1

At age six, Ye Fan's martial soul was awakened by Ye Guyi as evil soul masters closed in on them. He awakened twin martial souls—the Life Angel and Death Angel—and used the Life Angel's bloodline resurrection ability to revive Qian Daoliu, sacrificing thirty years of his own lifespan. Qian Daoliu subsequently killed the Soul Douluo of Ten Thousand Souls and became the siblings' protector. 3 4

After Saint Guide Village was destroyed and its residents were killed, Ye Fan handled the villagers' remains and vowed to avenge them and rescue Xiao Ya. He chose to build his strength first by obtaining soul rings and studying at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. 4 5

Jing Hongchen accepted Ye Fan and Ye Guyi as disciples after learning of Ye Fan's exceptional cultivation and soul-ring configuration. Ye Fan later entered Grade 3 Class 1 alongside Ye Guyi, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen. 11 12

Appearance

Ye Fan is a young, soft-featured and handsome boy. When he releases his Death Angel martial soul, his appearance is dominated by an imposing dark angelic aura. 15

• Six pairs of jet-black, bone-patterned wings manifest behind him. 14
• His Death Angel exudes dark-purple netherworld aura and a palpable deathly pressure. 4 14
• His Life Angel is surrounded by warm white light and holy vitality. 4
• He wields the golden-and-black Sword of Judgment, whose light-and-dark patterns match his twin attributes. 11

Personality

Ye Fan is protective, responsible, and intensely devoted to those he considers family. The destruction of Saint Guide Village and Xiao Ya's capture make becoming stronger his immediate goal, while Ye Guyi's repeated sacrifices strengthen his resolve to find a way to restore her lost lifespan. 4 28 29

He is also calculating in combat and social situations. He sets conditions that benefit him, exploits opponents' assumptions by feigning injury, and patiently exhausts stronger enemies before committing to close combat. 15 23 26

Despite his ruthlessness toward enemies, Ye Fan distinguishes himself from evil soul masters. He refuses Qian Daoliu's suggestion to kill Ju Zi's unconscious group, saves Ji Juechen after defeating him, and treats Ji as a brother rather than demanding formal subservience. 6 21 22

Abilities & Skills

Twin Angel Martial Souls

Ye Fan possesses the Life Angel and Death Angel, two opposing god-level angel martial souls. Their combined enhancement gives him unusually high soul power and physical strength. 4 5

• Dagger — Used to kill the thousand-year Dark Burst Demon Wolf for his first soul ring. 6
