Power Progression

Background / History

Lin Yuan is a transmigrator from Blue Star whose past-life memories remained dormant until three months before his rise. His father, an ordinary hunter, died fighting a frenzied beast pack when Lin Yuan was twelve; his mother died from illness and grief the following year, leaving him alone. 1 19

Before awakening the Game Panel, Lin Yuan had trained for six years yet remained stuck at the Blood Tempering Stage due to ordinary aptitude. After failing the June Joint Exam, he registered as a professional hunter, took out a Hunter Loan for equipment, and entered the Wilderness Zone to test his new power. 1 14

His first kill, a Ferocious Gray Rabbit, unlocked the Panel’s leveling system. He then spent a month hunting throughout Gray Rabbit Plains and the Boundless Grassland, gathering eleven Talent Traits, defeating the Tyrant Ferocious Tiger, and earning enough from beast materials to repay his debt and finance his cultivation. 2 11 12 14

After returning to Azure River Satellite City, Lin Yuan used premium blood-food and Vitality-Blood Potions to complete Body Tempering. He acquired the Starry Sky Breathing Method, entered the Mortal Transcendence Realm, and certified as a Starry-Sky Warrior. 15 16 17 18

Lin Yuan subsequently joined the Goddess Luo Squad for his first expedition into Minor Astral Realm No. 216. Over months of hunting, he advanced in cultivation, accumulated Talent Traits and lifespan, and rose to second place on the Azure River Regional Rankings. He parted from the squad to prepare for the Star-Martial Prodigy Talent Development Program. 28 62 63 67

After winning a place among Azure River’s Ten Elites, he traveled to the Central Imperial Capital for the program’s finals. There he obtained the Grand Unity Sword Canon from the Wordless Dao Stele and advanced to the Starfire Realm in the Spirit-Tempering Pool. He later returned alone to Minor Astral Realm No. 216 before departing with Gu Yiyi, Qin Tianyi, and Chen Fan for the Eastern Sea Battlefield. 77 85 88 90 92 96

Appearance

Lin Yuan is a tall, strikingly handsome young man with a sharp, sword-immortal-like presence. His breakthrough into the Starry-Sky Warrior realm gave him an instinctively noble and imposing aura, which he deliberately suppresses to avoid attention. 12 18

• Approximately 1.89 meters tall. 43
• Sword-like brows, bright starry eyes, sharply defined features, and a heroic bearing. 10 12
• Carries himself with a cold, refined sharpness compared to an immortal swordsman. 12
• Often attracts attention from both men and women, particularly while accompanying the all-female Goddess Luo Squad. 29 32
• When activated, his Truth-Piercing Golden Eyes turn a luminous, shattered-gold color. 63

Personality

Lin Yuan is pragmatic, cautious, and survival-oriented. He immediately withdrew after his first kill rather than risk predators drawn by blood, later choosing the experienced Goddess Luo Squad over exploring the Astral Realm alone. 2 28

He is intensely ambitious but not blindly arrogant. He recognizes the gap between himself and senior Starry-Sky Warriors or Stellar Behemoths, yet treats every advantage—money, food, knowledge, traits, and combat experience—as a means to continue advancing. 13 14 20

Despite his restraint, Lin Yuan enjoys showing off when the opportunity arises. He openly declared that he could face the Tyrant Ferocious Tiger alone, then privately enjoyed the Thunder Hunter Team’s admiration after saving them. 10 11

His resurrection ability made him bolder in battle, but a death at the hands of a Six-Eared Burrowing Rat reminded him that pain and danger remain real. He subsequently devised a more careful survival strategy. He also values companions on the martial path, sharing valuable treasure with the Goddess Luo Squad and maintaining friendships with Azure River’s other prodigies. 61 62 94 95 96

Abilities & Skills

Game Panel and Talent Traits

Lin Yuan alone can see a game-like panel that awards experience for kills and one Talent Trait draw upon every level-up. Its experience requirements double with each level, making higher levels progressively more difficult to attain. 1 2 3

• Swordsmanship Mastery — Grants Innate Sword Bones and a Clear Sword Heart, creating near-divine comprehension of sword arts and resistance to demonic, monstrous, and illusion-based influences. 2
• Martial Prodigy — Raises his martial aptitude to the prodigy level. 3
• Immunity to All Poisons — Neutralizes most poison-attribute damage. 4
• Late-Blooming Greatness — Causes his talent to become stronger with age. 4
• Heaven-Defying Battle / Earth-Shaking — Lets him draw strength from combat, maintain extraordinary stamina, and grow stronger during battle. 11 43
• Devouring Vitality — Converts consumed beast flesh and energy into stamina recovery, Stellar Force recovery, and gradual bodily enhancement. 7 41
• Transcendent Comprehension — Vastly improves his understanding; it strengthens again whenever he crosses a major realm. 4
• Infinite Space — Provides a Personal Space that expands with his realm; after reaching Mortal Transcendence, it measured 900 meters in every dimension, and after reaching Starfire it exceeded 10,000 meters in every dimension. 22 96
• Invincible Golden Body — Recorded as his ninth Talent Trait and later identified as a divine ability-type trait; its specific effects remain unrevealed. 13 94
• Life Plunder — Absorbs 1% of each slain enemy’s remaining lifespan without an upper limit or stated side effect. 7
• Swallowing the Starry Sky — Accelerates stellar-energy absorption, permits refinement in extreme environments, and can temporarily enhance his combat power by drawing in surrounding stellar energy. 12 17
• Seeking Secrets — Allows him to sense heavenly treasures and rare beasts, with perception strengthening at closer range and toward higher-quality targets. 44
• Borrow Life Reincarnation — Converts the complete soul and true spirit of a slain being of his current life tier into a stored Life instead of granting the usual kill rewards. He can consume a Life to resurrect after death. 50 92
• Tortoise-Breath Concealment — Perfectly hides his aura, including Stellar Force fluctuations, and conceals his true cultivation. 63
• Truth-Piercing Golden Eyes — Sees through falsehood and concealment, perceives energy and essence, and identifies weaknesses. 63 93
• Five Elements Escape Art — Allows him to merge with and travel through metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; he has demonstrated rapid movement underground with its Earth Escape Art. 94 95

Swordsmanship

Swordsmanship is Lin Yuan’s defining combat specialty. Swordsmanship Mastery elevated him from Basic Stage to Micro-Insight immediately, and he later reached Perfect Grade while still a first-realm Starry-Sky Warrior. 2 42

• Micro-Insight swordsmanship — Granted doubled explosive force, precise weakness detection, and near-airtight defense against groups of ferocious beasts. 7 8
• Personal sword art — Combined his previously disconnected mortal techniques into a complete, balanced sword style. 8
• Perfect Grade swordsmanship — Provides fourfold force application and allowed him to suppress the experienced swordswoman Wu Junru without using Stellar Force. 42
• Limit — Perfect Grade is the peak for most practitioners; the higher Unity of Heaven and Humanity realm remains beyond him. 42
• Taihao Sword Qi — Sword qi cultivated through the Grand Unity Sword Canon; infused with Grand Unity Starforce, it can pierce the defenses of Two-Pattern Star Beasts. 92 93

Stellar Martial Cultivation

After condensing Natal Stellar Force, Lin Yuan became a Mortal Transcendence Realm Starry-Sky Warrior with a body vastly stronger than his former Body Tempering state. 17

• His physical body carried roughly 100,000 catties of force in the Mortal Transcendence Realm. 17
• Each strand of Natal Stellar Force could exert roughly 100,000 catties; his first strand gave him an estimated combined output of 200,000 catties. 17 20
• He tempered his second strand of Natal Stellar Force in ten days, far faster than ordinary Star-Martial Prodigies. 41
• He can directly extract stellar force from Astral Realm Shards, avoiding the need to refine them into costly Stellar Force Potions. 40 41
• Excessive use of Swallowing the Starry Sky’s temporary enhancement may cause bodily collapse or death. Amplifying twenty-five strands to eighty-one against Wang Zhong left him severely injured. 12 58 60
• He completed the eighty-one-strand Mortal Transcendence Realm and opened his Heavenly Pass Aperture to enter the Starfire Realm. His physical strength rose to roughly ten million catties. 88
• His Grand Unity Starforce is cultivated through the supreme Grand Unity Sword Canon. He condensed forty-eight drops of pale-white Grand Unity Star Liquid in the Spirit-Tempering Pool; each drop has nearly four times the power of ordinary Starforce, giving him power comparable to approximately 192 ordinary drops. 90
• The canon includes the Taihao Breathing Technique, sword and movement arts, soul cultivation, and divine-sense methods. Its breathing technique greatly increases his stellar-energy absorption, especially alongside Swallowing the Starry Sky. 88 90
• He has demonstrated a Starfire Veil formed from Grand Unity Starforce to strengthen his offense and defense against a Two-Pattern Lord-Grade Star Beast. 93

Heaven-Sundering Sword Draw

A Sky-Grade Stellar Force Secret Art selected through his one-time free exchange as a newly advanced Starry-Sky Warrior. It compresses Natal Stellar Force into sword qi for a single, devastating draw whose theoretical ceiling depends on the force invested. 23

• Lin Yuan mastered the technique within approximately one week through Swordsmanship Mastery and Transcendent Comprehension. 28 36
• Its move “Rise from the Brink of Death” cut through an Earth Desolate Bull Beast’s Earth Tremor Force and severed its Astral Realm in one strike. 36
• The technique exhausted all of his Natal Stellar Force after his first Star Beast kill, preventing immediate reuse. 37
• Later uses split Wang Zhong’s Purplefire Setting Sun and, when combined with Grand Unity Starforce, beheaded a Two-Pattern Lord-Grade Star Beast. 59 93

Gale Step

An Earth-grade Stellar Force Secret Art focused on speed and evasive movement. Lin Yuan mastered it in less than a month through Transcendent Comprehension and used it to outmaneuver One-Pattern Lord-Grade Star Beasts. 49 50

Life Plunder

Life Plunder is Lin Yuan’s primary longevity advantage. It converts part of a slain target’s remaining lifespan into his own, creating the possibility of indefinite life through continued hunting. 7 8

• A Shadow Panther provided 100 days of lifespan. 8
• The Tyrant Ferocious Tiger provided an additional year. 11
• A One-Pattern Earth Desolate Bull Beast provided eight years. 37
• After killing twenty-nine One-Stripe Star Beasts, Lin Yuan’s lifespan exceeded 500 years. 41
• His recorded lifespan exceeded 10,000 years by Level 15 and reached 25,600 years during his later expedition in Minor Astral Realm No. 216. 63 95

Seeking Secrets

Seeking Secrets gives Lin Yuan a treasure-hunting sense for objects nurtured by heaven and earth. 44

• Detected a faint fragrance leading west through the Minor Astral Realm. 44
• Led the Goddess Luo Squad to a hidden valley with dense stellar energy, likely containing a heavenly treasure. 44
• The trait also alerts him to rare beasts associated with such treasures. 44
• Helped him locate treasures including the Golden Glazed Fruit and Emperor’s Flowing Pulp. 48 52 60

Borrow Life Reincarnation

Borrow Life Reincarnation stores the souls and true spirits of slain beings at Lin Yuan’s current life tier as expendable Lives. Choosing this reward forfeits the usual experience and lifespan from that kill. Lives acquired before a realm breakthrough remain usable, but lower-tier beings can no longer provide new ones afterward. 50 92

• Resurrection can restore him to full health. To recover from the injuries sustained against Wang Zhong, he secretly killed himself and revived, consuming one of his 101 stored Lives. 60
• He can choose where and when to revive and whether to return in his original body or create a new one. At the First Realm, his range was roughly 10,000 meters and his delay limit one hour; his later Starfire Realm revival placed him 100,000 meters from his death. 61 95
• His panel recorded 403 Lives during his later expedition in Minor Astral Realm No. 216. Resurrection does not spare him the pain or memory of dying. 95
• He pairs distant resurrection with Tortoise-Breath Concealment and Five Elements Escape Art to hide and flee after reviving. 95

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Deep-Blue Battle Sword — His primary Star-Iron battle weapon during his early Astral Realm expeditions; purchased for 20 million Azure Coins. 22 28
• Blue Ice Battle Sword — Earlier sword used during his Wilderness Zone hunts. 3
• Type-I Combat Suit — Protective combat equipment purchased for 10 million Azure Coins. 22
• Jet Skateboard Personal Aircraft — Personal aerial transport purchased for 8 million Azure Coins. 22
• Stellar Communicator — Communication device used during squad travel and Astral Realm operations. 22 31
• Personal Space — A storage space that measured 729 million cubic meters after his Mortal Transcendence breakthrough and exceeded one trillion cubic meters after he reached Starfire, making voidspace equipment unnecessary for storage. 22 96
• Star Warrior Badge — Silver-white one-star badge certifying his Starry-Sky Warrior status. 18 25
• White Snow Battle Sword — Six-cloud-pattern, supreme-grade Starfire Realm sword given to him by Vice City Lord Zhou; his weapon during his return to Minor Astral Realm No. 216 and at the battlefield recruitment assessment. 92 99
• Silver combat suit — Valuable Starfire Realm protective equipment given to him by Vice City Lord Zhou. 92 96
• Voidspace Ring — Received with his preliminary-selection reward of ten drops of Starflow Pulp; Vice City Lord Zhou later presented him with another ring containing equipment and other rewards. 77 92
• Emperor’s Flowing Pulp — Spirit-grade heavenly treasure secured after his victory over Wang Zhong. Of eighteen recovered drops, Lin Yuan retained ten after sharing the rest with the Goddess Luo Squad. 59 61 62

Relationships

• Gu Yiyi — Former high-school classmate, fellow Starry-Sky Warrior, and Goddess Luo Squad teammate. She confesses that she likes him and proposes marriage; Lin Yuan does not give a recorded answer. They later part with an unspoken understanding that cultivation comes before romance, then travel together toward the Eastern Sea Battlefield. 24 25 67 96
• Gu Shuangshuang — Former captain of the Goddess Luo Squad and a Second Realm Starry-Sky Warrior. She accepts Lin Yuan into the squad, supervises his early Astral Realm battles, and recognizes his exceptional potential. She later protects him during the dispute with the Wang Family and gives him valuable Astral Realm Shards when he leaves the squad. 29 35 36 55 67
• Wu Junru — Goddess Luo Squad swordswoman known as the Blood Moon Sword. Her demonstration teaches Lin Yuan how to destroy a Star Beast’s Astral Realm; he later defeats her in a swordsmanship-only spar. She leads the squad after Gu Shuangshuang’s departure. 35 42 96
• Lin Xue — Starry-Sky Warrior Association attendant who guides Lin Yuan through his Body Tempering assessment and later awards his Star Warrior Badge. 15 16 18
• Captain Lei Guang and the Thunder Hunter Team — Hunters Lin Yuan saves from the Tyrant Ferocious Tiger. They recognize him as a Star-Martial Prodigy and process the tiger’s materials for him. Lei Guang and his son later witness Lin Yuan compete among Azure River’s leading prodigies. 10 11 76
• Father Lin — His deceased father, an ordinary hunter killed by a frenzied beast pack six years before Lin Yuan’s rise. 19
• Mother Lin — His deceased mother, who died from illness and grief the year after Father Lin’s death. 19
• Wang Zhong — Imperial Capital Wang Family heir who challenges Lin Yuan over Emperor’s Flowing Pulp and loses despite using his Purple Flame Spirit Body. He remains openly hostile when they meet again at the program finals. 55 59 80 85
• Wang Laogui — Wang Family elder who proposes the duel, intervenes to save Wang Zhong, and honors its result. 55 59 60
