Background

Lin Fan was originally a nineteen-year-old Earth otaku before transmigrating into the Douluo world in the body of a six-year-old. He retained his memories, knowledge of the original story, and a passion for swordsmanship. 7

After receiving the Myriad Realms Gacha System's Newbie Gift Pack, he gained Innate Full Soul Power, a storage ring, consumable rewards, and the chance to choose a Martial Soul. He selected the evolving Immortal Slaughtering Sword and resolved to pursue the Sword Dao. 7

Lin Fan entered the Star Dou Great Forest with Medusa Queen's temporary protection to locate Gu Yue Na'er. After Gu Yue Na'er lost her memory and power, he accepted responsibility for protecting and teaching her, eventually escorting her from the forest with Zi Ji's assistance. 15 17

He later enrolled with Gu Yue Na'er at Notting City Junior Academy as a work-study student. By defeating Xiao Chenyu's group, he and Gu Yue Na'er became the recognized bosses of Notting Academy's Seventh Dorm. 20 94

At Shrek Academy, Lin Fan repeatedly positioned himself as Gu Yue Na'er's protector while pursuing strength through sign-ins, gacha rewards, Soul Rings, body refinement, and sword techniques. He and Gu Yue Na'er later formed the Dragon Sword Twins for team battles. 111 195

Appearance

Lin Fan is depicted as a youthful, unusually handsome boy whose appearance often draws attention from other characters. 105 114

• Angular, mixed-race-looking facial features. 105
• Retains an Earth-style manner of dress that appears unusual in the Douluo Continent. 123

Personality

Lin Fan is ambitious, confident, and highly conscious of his knowledge as a transmigrator. He considers changing the established course of the Douluo story and ultimately intends to oppose the God Realm rather than merely contend with Spirit Hall. 7 10

He is strategic in combat, relying on mismatched tools, copied abilities, and technical swordsmanship to overcome stronger opponents. He also acts protectively toward Gu Yue Na'er and frequently intervenes on behalf of companions or Soul Beasts he believes should be spared. 15 111 123

His protectiveness is often possessive and manipulative, especially in his dealings with Gu Yue Na'er and Xiao Wu. He also displays a vindictive, humiliating streak toward rivals such as Tang San, Tang Hao, and Oscar. 51 175 178 185
