Background

Lin Yan is a transmigrator who initially resented being limited to the support-oriented Prayer Angel martial soul while Tang San possessed Tang Sect techniques and hidden weapons. The Prayer Angel could not cultivate conventionally at first; it advanced through healing others and receiving faith-based feedback. 1

Before the main events at Shrek Academy, Flender forcibly brought Lin Yan—then a travelling healer—to the academy because of his exceptional healing abilities. Lin Yan spent years treating students such as Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, but came to believe they regarded him as a convenient resource rather than a valued companion. 4 6

When the Shrek group assembled, Lin Yan awakened the Heroine Conquest Talisman System. Its beginner package gave him a selectable second martial soul, an Ultimate Douluo-era Soul Tool Crafting Bench, and a level-95 Titled Douluo puppet usable three times. 1

Appearance

Lin Yan is a fair-skinned young man with golden hair and golden eyes. His public image is usually gentle and sacred, especially when using the Prayer Angel; after Ning Rongrong accidentally burned his hair with the Dragon Talisman, he adopted a short golden buzz cut and a colder public demeanor. 2 67

• Prayer Angel form — Twelve white-gold wings, airborne movement, and a holy life aura. 2 6
• Seraph form — Twelve golden-red flaming wings, a golden crown, and the flaming Blade of Judgment. 47
• Later hairstyle — A short golden buzz cut caused by a Dragon Talisman misfire. 67

Personality

Lin Yan presents himself as a calm, considerate healer who treats wounded people regardless of status. His healing earns him faith power, payment, and influential allies, so his generosity frequently serves both compassionate and practical motives. 9 10 56

Privately, he is highly calculating. He conceals his system, martial-soul selection, soul-tool technology, and long-term plans while manipulating opportunities away from Tang San. He also deliberately cultivates heroines’ favorability to obtain system rewards. 1 18 32 54

His restraint has limits. After the Bu Le Trio attacked his companions despite having received his treatment, Lin Yan killed them with soul-guidance weapons and admitted that his first killing felt thrilling. 17

Abilities & Skills

Prayer Angel

A twelve-winged support martial soul associated with life, healing, faith power, and mental restoration. Its cultivation originally depended on saving people and gathering faith. 1 6

• Holy Light Healing — Restores injuries, stamina, and hidden wounds; can expel foreign objects such as Zhao Wuji’s Dragon Whisker Needle. 2
• Requiem Prayer — Treats mental exhaustion and later grants temporary immunity to mental attacks. 3 63
• Healing and defensive support — Later shields also heal allies, while his defensive formation can stack with shields. 63
• Purification — Fifth soul skill; removes negative effects from allies and buffs from enemies. 63
• Stored golden feathers — Can place his first and second soul skills into feathers for others to use. 8 56

Seraph

Lin Yan selected Seraph as his second martial soul because its light and fire attributes complemented the Prayer Angel rather than conflicting with it. It possesses Ultimate Light, Ultimate Fire, and Divinity attributes. 5 6

• Holy Sword — Condenses a combat sword from soul power. 6
• Holy Light Blessing — Initially grants a 100% increase to attack, speed, and defense; later improves to a 150% all-stat enhancement. 6 63
• Flame Light Prison Kill — Marks targets, then traps and damages them within a light-and-fire barrier; its evolved form can control more enemies. 6 63
• Blazing Light Judgment — Large-scale light-and-fire attack that evolves from a charged technique into an instant-cast attack. 6 63
• A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire — Fifth soul skill; creates sacred flames over a wide area and prevents affected enemies from recovering soul power. 63

Heroine Conquest Talisman System

The system measures heroines’ favorability toward Lin Yan. Reaching 100% grants one of the Twelve Talismans of Shendu and additional rewards, though a talisman can only be used by the heroine who earned it. 1

• Tiger Talisman — Granted through Zhu Zhuqing; separates her into gentle and cold “good” and “evil” personas with shared memories. 24
• Dragon Talisman — Granted through Ning Rongrong; fires explosive, burning shockwaves when infused with soul power. 63 67
• Favorability milestones — Zhu Zhuqing reaches 100%, Ning Rongrong later reaches 100%, and Xiao Wu reaches 90% after separating from Tang San. 54 58 64

Soul-Tool Crafting

The system-provided Soul Tool Crafting Bench can automatically manufacture soul tools when supplied with materials. Lin Yan must craft lower-level tools to improve his proficiency. 1 6

• Floating Cannons — Deployed twelve at once against the Bu Le Trio, combining laser fire, grenades, and flames. 16 17
• Twin Small Soul Guidance Cannon — High-power double-barreled cannon used to breach Bu Le’s shield and execute him. 17
• Tier 2 Basic Soul Guidance Barrier — Layered three times to block Tian Ya’s Fourth Soul Skill. 17
• Tier 2 Fixed Burst Shells — Disposable explosive shells used to shatter the Heavenly Net Double Shield. 17
• Light Shadow Sword — Level 3 soul tool that absorbs soul power and releases golden sword qi; Lin Yan uses it to sever Yu Xiaogang’s right arm. 52
• Information-detecting glasses — Identify a target’s martial soul, rank, and spirit-ring configuration. 47

External Spirit Bone and Defenses

• Eight Spider Lances — Secretly taken from the Man-Faced Demon Spider before Tang San could obtain them. 32
• Omniscient Domain — External spirit-bone skill that lets Lin Yan perceive an enemy’s movements without looking behind him. 47
• Red Dust Blessing — Level-nine defensive soul tool bonded to his chest like a tattoo; provides automatic protection against surprise attacks. 63
• Titled Douluo puppet — Beginner reward with level-95 strength, usable three times. 1

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Soul Tool Crafting Bench — Produces soul tools from supplied materials. 1 6
• Twenty-four storage rings — Created by dismantling Tang San’s stolen Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night storage belt. 15
• Purple spider-leg daggers — Crafted for Zhu Zhuqing; poisonous, armor-piercing, and capable of ranged attacks through soul-power infusion. 66
• Carrot spear and pink goggles — Crafted for Xiao Wu; its strobe-light tip blinds and disorients enemies. 66 67
• Dragon Talisman — Given to Ning Rongrong after she completed her system reward condition. 63 67
• Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone — Taken from Tang Hao’s hidden water-curtain cave alongside A Yin’s plant form. 66

Relationships

• Ning Rongrong — Girlfriend and system target. She assists his soul-tool acquisition, publicly identifies herself as his girlfriend, and eventually reaches 100% favorability. 13 58
• Zhu Zhuqing — Romantic partner who seeks his help escaping Dai Mubai and later openly calls Lin Yan her boyfriend; her Tiger Talisman reward creates two distinct personas. 20 24 52
• Xiao Wu — Initially a classmate and patient. Lin Yan’s healing and manipulation drive her away from Tang San; she asks Lin Yan to help her leave Tang San and reaches 90% favorability. 50 61 64
• Tang San — Fated enemy. Their hostility begins after Tang San challenges Lin Yan’s spirit rings and disparages support soul masters; Lin Yan later steals Tang San’s belt, intercepts the Eight Spider Lances, and sabotages his opportunities. 2 15 32
• Zhao Wuji — Patient and outspoken protector. Lin Yan heals him after Tang San’s assessment attack, and Zhao Wuji later defends Lin Yan against Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. 2 40 42
• Flender — Former dean who forcibly brought Lin Yan to Shrek Academy. Their relationship collapses after Flender sides with Yu Xiaogang and Tang San during the arena conflict. 6 58 59
• Tang Hao — Regards Lin Yan as a potential subordinate for Tang San, then becomes a looming enemy after Lin Yan cripples Tang San and takes Xiao Wu. 6 64
• Sister Cat and Brother Rat — Arena acquaintances whose loyalty grows after Lin Yan heals Brother Rat and compensates Sister Cat for stealing Tang San’s storage belt. 9 13
• Brother Scar and Sister Ruhua — Rival gang leaders healed by Lin Yan; both factions become protectors willing to oppose Flender for him. 56 57

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy and the System

Lin Yan begins at Shrek as an underestimated healing Soul Master. The Heroine Conquest Talisman System gives him the means to change that position, culminating in his choice of the Seraph as a second martial soul. 1 5

Tang San’s hostility becomes immediate after Lin Yan displays four purple spirit rings and healing that surpasses ordinary support abilities. Tang Hao subsequently orders Flender to turn Lin Yan into Tang San’s subordinate, an arrangement Lin Yan never accepts. 2 6

Soul Fighting Arena and Soul-Tool Development

Lin Yan opens a healing stall at the Soto Great Soul Fighting Arena, earning gold and faith power while building a reputation among local soul masters. He uses the arena’s traffic to acquire rare metals and develop soul tools. 8 10 13

After arranging the theft of Tang San’s storage belt, Lin Yan dismantles it into storage rings and begins developing weapons that surpass conventional hidden weapons. 13 15

When the Bu Le Trio attempts to assault his group, Lin Yan reveals twelve Floating Cannons and annihilates the attackers without using a martial soul. 16 17

Star Dou Great Forest Interference

Lin Yan intervenes in Tang San’s battle with the Man-Faced Demon Spider, kills the spirit beast himself, heals Tang San publicly, and secretly takes the Eight Spider Lances. 32

He then steers Tang San toward a Millennium Lone Bamboo rather than allowing him to secure a more valuable opportunity, disrupting Yu Xiaogang’s intended cultivation route for him. 33 39

Break with Shrek Academy

After Yu Xiaogang demands Lin Yan’s secrets and claims entitlement to his methods, Lin Yan uses the Light Shadow Sword to sever Yu Xiaogang’s right arm. 51 52

Flender, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang later confront Lin Yan at the Soul Fighting Arena. Scar, Ruhua, arena personnel, and Ning Rongrong defend him; after reaching level 50, Lin Yan renounces Flender as his dean and has Scar and Ruhua take Tang San and Yu Xiaogang into custody. 57 58

Departure from Soto City

With Tang Hao expected to retaliate, Lin Yan leaves Soto City with Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, intending to seek shelter with the Ye family in Tiandou City. 64

Before catching up with the group, he travels to Holy Soul Village and takes A Yin’s plant form and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone from Tang Hao’s hidden cave. 66
