Fourth-Realm High-Tier Martial Artist	30	Returned from a Beast Tide mission after breaking through; Zhou Yang appointed him Qianshan Class homeroom teacher. His combat power is regarded as exceptional even among martial artists of the same realm. 30

Background

Pei Xuan frequently accepts Beast Tide-defense work because his unusual breathing technique requires exotic-beast Blood Qi for cultivation. He had been away from Qianshan No. 1 High School for roughly four months on such a mission when the Joint Key Class was established. 22 30

Upon returning, he encountered the ten Second High School students during their conflict with Bai Zhenhao. He apologized for the situation and attempted to learn what had happened, but Director Yuan Gang—of a different faction—dismissed him from the matter. 22

After returning from the mission as a Fourth-Realm High-Tier Martial Artist, Pei Xuan was made the Qianshan Class's homeroom teacher by Vice Principal Zhou Yang. He immediately confronted Huang Yi'an over his treatment of Su Yuan and defended Su Yuan's potential as a genius. 30 31

Pei Xuan later visited his cousin Li Youfeng at Qianshan Grand Hotel to investigate Su Yuan's unusual resilience. Li confirmed Su Yuan's history and asked Pei to protect him; Pei promised that Su Yuan would not be harmed while under his supervision in the Qianshan Class. 35 36

Before returning to Qianshan, Pei had participated in the Beast Tide at Lingjiang District, where Yun Yiyao saved him when he faced certain death. He remained deeply grateful to her and formally bowed in thanks when he recognized her later. 70

After Su Yuan became a prominent Linzhou City genius and a likely target of the Dragon Evolution Cult, Pei initially intended to personally guard him at all times. Yun Yiyao intervened, however, and Pei ultimately yielded Su Yuan's protection to the Linzhou City Martial Arts Association after acknowledging that Fourth-Realm martial artists could not adequately protect such a talent. 70

Appearance

Pei Xuan is a middle-aged man whose demeanor can shift sharply between gentle warmth and cold intimidation.

• Usually wears a warm, gentle expression when speaking to students. 22
• Appears cold-faced when confronting Huang Yi'an. 30
• His presence can be preceded by a blood-red shadow or faint blood mist. 30
• Carries a fierce killing aura that makes nearby students uncomfortable and can frighten beasts into fleeing. 22 42
• Has a scar-covered right hand. 70

Personality

Pei Xuan is direct, decisive, and intensely protective of talent. He openly rebukes Huang Yi'an for endangering Su Yuan, orders him to pay Su Yuan two million Xia currency for slander, and repeatedly refuses to let bias dictate how Su Yuan is evaluated. 30 31 49

After Su Yuan's rise in the Linzhou City rankings, Pei further pressured Huang Yi'an to donate twenty million Xia currency to Qianshan No. 2 High School and warned him to report the consequences to Vice Principal Song Ping. 54

His teaching style is deliberately brutal. He considers pain and exhaustion necessary preparation for Beast Tides, rejects excessive leniency, and threatens permanent removal from Qianshan Class for students unwilling to continue training. 36 37

Despite this severity, he pays close attention to students' limits. He grants Su Yuan additional rest after the Light-Pillar Training Room trial, cleanses Su Yuan's unusual aura after the No. 39 Secret Realm expedition to avoid drawing suspicion, and personally administers recovery medicine when Ye Ling is seriously injured in battle. 38 46 61

Although he is fiercely protective, Pei recognizes the limits of his own strength. He respectfully accepted Yun Yiyao's intervention in Su Yuan's protection after learning that the Linzhou City Martial Arts Association would take responsibility. 70

Abilities & Skills

Fourth-Realm Martial Arts

Pei Xuan is a Fourth-Realm High-Tier Martial Artist whose combat ability exceeds that of ordinary martial artists at his level. 30

• Wang Zheng could not endure even a hundred moves against him when they were at the same realm. 30
• During a private spar, Wang Zheng surrendered immediately after Pei Xuan released his Blood Fiend Aura. 33
• He states that he can clear No. 26 Secret Realm alone despite being only a Fourth-Realm High-Tier Martial Artist. 40
• His speed is fast enough that students initially perceive him only as a blur. 22

Blood Fiend Aura

Pei Xuan possesses a blood-red, killing-intent-based aura developed through extensive beast slaying.

• His aura creates suffocating pressure for other teachers and students. 30
• It can terrify nearby beasts into fleeing. 42
• He has killed at least hundreds of thousands of beasts, leaving his killing intent close to a tangible state. 33
• Further solidification of this killing intent is associated with reaching the Fifth Realm. 33

Beast-Tide Experience

Pei Xuan is an experienced Beast Tide combatant who regularly takes outside defense assignments to support his cultivation. 22 30

• His breathing technique requires exotic-beast Blood Qi. 30
• He can identify murderous aura and assess a person's likely combat record from it. 46
• He recognized that Su Yuan had likely slain numerous beasts in No. 39 Secret Realm despite Su Yuan's attempt to downplay the expedition. 46
• He survived the Lingjiang District Beast Tide after Yun Yiyao rescued him from a life-threatening situation. 70

Instruction and Assessment

As Qianshan Class homeroom teacher, Pei Xuan oversees its training, rankings, and secret-realm expeditions.

• Designed punishing sparring schedules, including teacher-led group combat and mandatory full-power pair sparring. 34 37
• Introduced thirty Light-Pillar Training Rooms, allowing students to practice privately at full strength until exhausted. 37 38
• Ranked Su Yuan fifth in the initial Qianshan Class standings based on overall performance rather than Blood Qi alone. 40

• Later provided Su Yuan with the locations of Qianshan District's Secret Realms No. 28 through No. 25 for his Fourth-Realm beast-hunting training. 139

Relationships

• Su Yuan — Student under Pei Xuan's supervision in the Qianshan Class. Pei recognizes Su Yuan's ruthlessness, potential, and possible Heart Cultivation, repeatedly shields him from Huang Yi'an's bias, and continues supporting him after he leaves the class temporarily. 30 35 49 70 98 139
• Huang Yi'an — Fellow Qianshan Class teacher and ideological opponent. Pei condemns Huang's treatment of Su Yuan, imposes a two-million-Xia-currency fine for slander, later makes him donate twenty million Xia currency to Qianshan No. 2 High School, and remains wary of his motives. 30 31 49 54
• Wang Zheng — Fellow teacher and ally in Zhou Yang's faction. Wang respects Pei's authority but is considerably weaker in direct combat. 30 33

• Zhou Yang — Vice principal whose faction Pei belongs to; Zhou appointed Pei as Qianshan Class homeroom teacher. 30
• Yuan Gang — Director affiliated with an opposing faction. Yuan Gang prevented Pei from handling the registration conflict involving the Second High School students. 22
• Yun Yiyao — A Fifth-Realm-or-higher martial artist and Linzhou City Martial Arts Association vice president who saved Pei during the Lingjiang District Beast Tide. Pei is highly respectful and ceded responsibility for Su Yuan's protection to her association. 70
• Ye Ling — A Qianshan Class student whom Pei treats as a valued talent. He personally gave Ye recovery medicine after Su Yuan defeated him and monitored his condition until he recovered. 61
