Background

Shen Fan began as an ordinary person without cultivation, but rapidly gained strength through the Diary System and diary-writing rewards. Within a day, he reached the seventh heaven of the White Profound Realm and resolved to leave his protected mountain residence after advancing further. 10

He later entered Shrek Academy under a concealed identity. To substantiate his cover, he presented himself as a level 45 Weapon Soul Ancestor with the Super Holy Codex Martial Soul and simulated four Soul Rings using points. 41 43

Shen Fan eventually established Dragon Fan Academy in a mission world to enter the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament and prevent Tang San from winning it. He selected Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Jiang Zhu, Shui Bing'er, and Jiang Nannan as official members, with Bai Chenxiang and Ma Xiaotao as substitutes. 225

Personality

Shen Fan is outspoken, provocative, and frequently mocks opponents he considers hypocritical, arrogant, or incompetent. He openly challenged Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul theory and repeatedly antagonized Tang San rather than accepting his attempts at civility. 44 105

He is also highly strategic. Shen Fan plans missions around available rewards, prepares equipment for weaker allies, uses disguises and simulated abilities when advantageous, and favors surprise attacks against dangerous enemies. 211 225 307

His protectiveness can be ruthless. He violently retaliates against people who threaten those around him, including Wang Shaojie and hostile academy students, while also treating enemies and obstructive forces with little mercy. 172 370 371 390
