Background

Xu Yuan was born to Xu Zhi and his wife, researchers of the Spirit Pagoda. When he was five, his parents were accused of defection and executed; the Spirit Pagoda reclaimed his family villa. His cousin-uncle Xu Shengqun, who had no children of his own, took Xu Yuan in and treated him as his son. Xu Yuan became more restrained and determined after the loss, resolving to gain enough power to protect himself and eventually investigate the truth behind his parents’ deaths. 1

His greatest early advantage was his Brain Martial Soul. It dramatically increased his natural Spiritual Power growth, leaving him with 81 points upon awakening and approximately 260 points only a year later. He recognized that this strength, alongside willpower training, was his answer to the mental suppression of Dragon Might. 5 27

At Shrek Academy’s entrance assessments, Xu Yuan earned full marks by resisting Dragon Might, surviving for half an hour against an Earth Demon Rhino through Five Elements control, and killing it with the Heaven Origin Spear. He also demonstrated Level 2 proficiency in all four Mecha sub-professions. 27 28 31

He became Yun Ming’s disciple and inherited the Forbidden Arts Seven Absolutes. His cultivation subsequently developed around three coordinated systems—Essence, Qi, and Spirit—represented by his Heaven Origin Five Elements Spear, Heaven Origin Brush, and Brain Martial Soul. 87 234

Appearance

At age ten, Xu Yuan was approximately 1.75 meters tall, with a strong, well-proportioned build and a sharp, proud bearing. 58

• Calm and steady from childhood rather than outwardly lively. 1
• His aura becomes markedly sharp and oppressive when wielding the Heaven Origin Five Elements Spear. 28 189
• Can manifest a massive Vital Energy Avatar. 432

Personality

Xu Yuan is highly rational, ambitious, and methodical. He evaluates his weaknesses directly, makes long-term cultivation plans, and deliberately avoids relying on trump cards when ordinary combat experience would benefit him more. 5 189

He is intensely diligent, using Dream Realm Space to extend his effective study and cultivation time. His broad ambitions include becoming the strongest of his era, a top-tier Mecha Pilot and researcher, and developing original abilities rather than relying only on inherited techniques. 60 102 109 299

Despite his competitiveness, he is willing to invest in others. He shared assessment rewards to help classmates pass, gave up a valuable soul bone allocation for Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, and offered assistance to Yuanen Yehui’s family. 36 193 500
