Biodata

Appearance

Yan is broad-shouldered and powerfully built, with a striking fire-and-magma appearance 92 102.

• Faint lava-like markings beneath his skin 92.

Personality

Yan is confrontational and quick to anger. He tries to impress Hu Liena, who does not return his interest, and Yun Tian’s refusal to acknowledge his taunts immediately irritates him 92 102.

• Xie Yue — Spirit Hall teammate who cautions Yan against underestimating the Imperial Battle Team and later explains the team’s strategy after Yan’s loss 92 104.
