Personality

Ye Fan is ambitious, opportunistic, and highly survival-oriented. During the Little Giant incident, he aided Qin Yue chiefly because he feared the ancient book's secret would fall into the Evil Energy Organization's hands, rather than out of selfless concern for her safety. He consistently seeks resources, inheritances, pills, and powerful patrons to accelerate his growth. 91 99 183

His experiences gradually make him more responsible. He regrets nearly abandoning the Black Boar after it saves him, treats the stranded Little Black Cat with compassion, and comes to respect Squinty Eyes' strict adherence to his promise despite believing him to be an enemy. 253 426 427

After learning the truth behind the Divine Emperor Palace, Ye Fan accepts the burden of protecting humanity. He kneels before the Divine Emperor's final barrier and vows to fulfill that responsibility, though he struggles with whether he can bear the infamy attached to continuing the Witch Giant Modification Plan. 447 448

Abilities & Skills

Summoner Combat

Ye Fan is capable of fighting alongside and merging with his summoned beast despite not having reached the usual level required for such a technique.

• Uses a battle saber that can transform into a massive shield through Shield Form. 91
• Merged with his summoned beast early and used items to temporarily reach mid Black Iron combat strength while still below Black Iron himself. 49
• Possessed a one-use life-saving attack containing a Gold-tier expert's residual power; he expended it while attempting to seize Qin Buhui's long saber inheritance. 257

Alchemy

Ye Fan develops into a respected alchemist at Pill Shop Hall.

• Refined high-quality Moisture Pills before Qin Yue and Song Xiaomei. 181
• Received a personal alchemy room due to his ability to refine Moisture Pills. 183
• Proposed refining a vitality-restoring pill for the City Lord's wife's dying Flying Cat, though he required three months to gather materials. 183
• Discovered a lifespan-extending pill formula, but the Flying Cat's breakthrough rendered his intended treatment unnecessary. 185

God of War Formation

As his Resistance Army grows, Ye Fan produces the God of War Formation.

• Condenses a phantom image of the God of War.
• Uses the formation's power to strengthen his prestige as a Resistance Army leader. 432

Equipment

• Battle Saber — Can shift into a massive shield with Shield Form. 91
• Invisibility Ring — Concealed both Ye Fan's body and aura from ordinary detection; its use in the Flame Mountain secret realm was its final activation. 102
• Fire-resistant equipment and poison-repelling pearl — Used to endure the fire poison within the secret realm. 102
• Teleportation Scroll — Kept ready as an emergency escape method after Li Xuan detected him despite his invisibility. 102

Relationships

• Black Boar — Ye Fan's former summoned beast and repeated rescuer. Ye Fan considered abandoning it after several setbacks, but vowed never to do so after it saved his life and reached upper Bronze rank; he later dissolved their contract, after which the boar continued protecting Qin Yue. 252 253 310
• Little Black Cat / Cat Master — His contracted companion after he rescued it as a newborn. The cat provides illusions, danger-sensing, and knowledge of the Ancient God Realm, while Ye Fan supplies it with power and protection. 426 427 428
• Li Xuan — A suspicious and recurring rival figure. Ye Fan investigated Li Xuan's cat form over the Little Giant's death, while Li Xuan eventually recognized Ye Fan as a fate-blessed individual after Ye Fan completed the Seal Heart mission. 95 96 462
• Bitter Monk — Fellow Resistance Army leader. They investigate the Divine Emperor Palace together and receive the Divine Emperor's final responsibility from Crippled Granny. 440 447
• Divine Emperor Qin Zhantian — Ye Fan initially regards the Divine Emperor as a monstrous tyrant, then learns of his sacrifice against the Abyss and reverently kowtows before his final protective barrier. 431 444 447

Story Role / Major Arcs

Ancient Book and Blackstone City

Ye Fan first appears while being pursued over a mysterious box connected to Qin Yue's own discovery. Though he is below Black Iron at the time, he uses summoned-beast fusion and special items to escape an upper Black Iron opponent. 49

When the Evil Energy Organization's Little Giant attacks Blackstone City, Ye Fan attempts to prevent it from taking Qin Yue's half of the ancient book. He is defeated, witnesses Lord Song Yuan's failure, and later discovers that the Little Giant was killed by a single punch from Li Xuan's Sprite form. 91 93

Suspecting Qin Yue's orange cat, Ye Fan recruits Lie Shan to test it. The attempt ends with Lie Shan severely beaten and embedded in the ground, convincing Ye Fan that he needs a better relationship with the cat. 95 96

Pursuit of the Transcendent Fruit

Ye Fan steals intelligence about a fire-element Transcendent Fruit and infiltrates the Flame Mountain secret realm with fire-resistant gear, a poison-repelling pearl, and his invisibility ring. Li Xuan senses him despite the ring's concealment. 99 102

He ultimately loses both the Transcendent Fruit and the ancient book during Li Xuan's Transcendent Self-Destruction, surviving the aftermath severely injured and choosing to focus on alchemy and self-improvement. 105 106

Resistance Army Leader

After contracting the Little Black Cat and narrowly escaping Squinty Eyes, Ye Fan turns his attention toward exposing the Divine Emperor Palace and strengthening his forces. 426 427 431

His Resistance Army expands from three cities to eighteen within half a year, making him its strongest leader. His God of War Formation further enhances his reputation and military power. 421 432

Truth of the Divine Emperor Palace

Ye Fan joins Bitter Monk and the Little Black Cat in entering the ruined Divine Emperor Palace. There, he learns that Qin Zhantian had fought a million-strong Abyss army, including two Demigods, to buy time for sixteen worlds. 440 444

Realizing that the Divine Emperor's feared policies were part of a desperate defense against the Abyss, Ye Fan kneels before the final membrane of light and accepts the responsibility of protecting humanity. 446 447

Seal Heart Mission

Ye Fan enters Grey Wolf Territory seeking greater strength and accepts Li Xuan's ten-million-Honor-Point mission for a Seal Heart. With the Little Black Cat's aid, he risks entering the Abyss's thousandth layer, where gods are present, on the theory that his relative weakness may allow him to go unnoticed. 453 454

He successfully delivers the Seal Heart, earning Li Xuan's surprise and respect. Li Xuan uses it to advance his Seal Talent to Extraordinary level and reinforce defenses around the Beast Taming Sect and Abyss passage. 462
