Background / History
Yang Wanqing is Chen Siyao’s best friend and fellow student. She accompanies Siyao and Chen Hao while they choose a luxury apartment, then joins their Northern Frontier trip after online harassment disrupts Siyao’s livestreaming 6 7. During their travels, she helps film discoveries and relay viewers’ reactions, including the portrait of the Queen Mother of the West 17 36.
Her grandfather, Yang Weiguo, develops late-stage brain cancer at ninety-three. His age and poor health make surgery too dangerous, and Wanqing misses school registration while attending to the family crisis 58 59. After Chen Hao heals her scraped leg, she asks whether he can help her grandfather. He agrees to assess him without promising a cure; Yang Weiguo subsequently improves, leaving her deeply grateful 64 67. The Yang family later visits Chen Hao at New Year to thank him for saving Yang Weiguo 223 224.
Wanqing enters cultivation after overhearing Chen Hao teaching Siyao. He accepts her request on the condition that she become his disciple. This makes her best friend her “aunt-master,” a change in seniority she initially protests with theatrical dismay 159. She later specializes in artifact refining and becomes senior sister to Qin Xiaoyu, Ye Chendong, Wu Tian, and Ying Wenjie 209 225.
Appearance
- Build and features: Described as cute and slight despite her exceptional physical strength, with large, round eyes 186 359.
- Hair: Long enough to tie into a high ponytail for her first formal martial arts match 186.
- Jade Pool changes: Marrow cleansing leaves her with fair, rosy skin, brighter eyes, darker hair, and a more radiant appearance 44.
- Beauty-cream changes: Purple coral cream gives her skin a warm, jade-like lustre, nearly invisible pores, more defined facial contours, and no visible fine lines on her neck. She appears strikingly polished without makeup 131.
- Later appearance: She is slightly thinner than seven years earlier but still looks well 488.
Personality
Wanqing is talkative, playful, and openly expressive. She eagerly questions Chen Hao about his powers and ancient acquaintances, delights in beautiful surroundings and rare treasures, and frequently seeks praise from her master 13 36 235 373 396. Food, games, shopping, and sleeping late are recurring pleasures; Ying Wenjie teases her for abandoning cultivation after three days when a new game season begins 77 131 267 314.
Her carefree manner does not prevent serious commitment. In the ring, she becomes composed and focused because she does not want to disgrace Chen Hao 186. Artifact refining draws out especially strong persistence: she spends nearly eight hours experimenting with the Bagua Furnace, skips lunch, and adapts her methods after repeated failures 376.
She is affectionate toward friends, children, and animals. She tries to comfort Yun Wanlan, entertains Sushen children with Light Orbs, and promises to return after leaving their homeland 327 352. That compassion can also make her vulnerable: a disguise-beast exploits her attachment to an apparently wounded pet. Discovering the real animals’ stolen skins leaves her quietly devastated 294 296.
Wanqing readily admits fear even when she fights successfully. Her confidence grows through trials, sometimes tipping into boastfulness, but she continues to rely on Siyao’s judgment and Chen Hao’s protection when danger exceeds her experience 173 177 294.
Abilities & Skills
Azure Dragon Nine Transformations
Wanqing’s principal cultivation method emphasizes physical power. Chen Hao teaches it because it requires neither abundant spiritual energy nor exceptional talent to begin practicing, though progress demands patience and persistence 159.
- The first three transformations respectively double physical toughness, speed, and strength. Later transformations awaken dragon-race innate abilities, culminating in becoming a dragon at the ninth transformation; Wanqing is not shown completing all nine 158 159.
- Activation produces an azure glow and forceful aura. During her match with Xu Yunda, a faint dragon silhouette circles her body 180 186.
- She prefers its direct power to the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill’s transformations and finesse, deciding that solving problems with a punch suits her better 181.
- After testing the seventh set of Limit Arcana, she considers her inherited method much more powerful and returns to practicing it seriously 261.
Close-Quarters Combat
Wanqing primarily fights with punches and kicks, initially relying more on extraordinary strength than refined technique 177 185.
- Defeats He Tong despite his superior Bajiquan experience. Chen Hao must still intercept his concealed silver-needle attack 177.
- Overpowers Xu Yunda in their first direct clash: she retreats two steps while he is driven back five. She ultimately wins the match 186 188.
- Develops knee strikes, turning combinations, chained kicks, and midair leg switches during the Australian Abyss trials 219.
- Coordinates with Qin Xiaoyu and Ying Wenjie through control, flanking, and direct attacks 220.
- Later spends at least four hours daily in the Training Pavilion. In one eight-hour battle, she withstands three hundred moves from a same-realm spear phantom before finding an opening 401.
Artifact Refining
Artifact refining is Wanqing’s strongest technical specialty. Chen Hao finds her understanding far ahead of the other disciples’ chosen crafts and attributes her aptitude partly to an undistracted mind that naturally aligns with refining’s “purity” 225.
- Earns perfect assessment scores in heat control, shaping, and spiritual-channel engraving using standard materials and equipment 377.
- Completes Ji Li’s Penglai forging trial in roughly fifteen minutes, precisely regulating heat and engraving spiritual-power patterns into molten metal 234.
- Recognizes and selects rare refining materials in Tusita Palace, though their grade exceeds her experience 374 375.
- Cannot directly control Chen Hao’s Samadhi True Fire. After suffering spiritual-power backlash, she regulates the Bagua Furnace’s temperature indirectly through its eight vents 376.
- Shapes exceptionally difficult taiyi gold essence into a dagger on her sixth attempt. Chen Hao says fewer than a hundred Primordial Era refiners could work with that material and that her talent would have earned her a sect’s core-disciple position 377.
- The dagger lacks spiritual channels, formations, and magical-artifact properties. Her accomplishment is successful shaping of the rare metal, not completion of a functioning magical treasure 377.
Divine Sense and Sword-Intent Training
Wanqing trains beside Siyao in the Golden Palace Cloud Sect’s Sword-Listening Hall, where lingering sword intent acts on both body and divine sense 393.
- Circulating her cultivation technique provides partial protection against the sword intent 393.
- Seven hours of training leave her mentally exhausted but sharpen her divine sense; her peak Meridian Opening cultivation contributes to especially strong gains 394.
- She and Siyao avoid further exploration of the Hundred-Blade Corridor after it cuts her and proves too dangerous for their level 394.
- Continued visits to the sect’s training sites supplement her later Golden Body cultivation 401.
Minor Spellcraft and Practical Insight
- Light Orbs: Splits a large orb into a shower of smaller ones for Sushen children to catch 352.
- Fire-drawing hand seal: Knows a basic refining spell for connecting her energy to a furnace, although it fails against Samadhi True Fire 376.
- Formation breakthrough: An offhand remark causes a Formation Spirit’s gate to open, surprising even Wanqing herself 359.
- Livestream assistance: Operates the camera, shows artifacts and inscriptions to viewers, and relays audience encouragement 17 36.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Capital Heavenly Thunder Halberd — Lightning-powered Magical Treasure forged by Ji Li. It accepts Wanqing as master after she clears his forging trial; Chen Hao explicitly allows her to keep it because she earned it herself 234 235. Its golden electrical arcs scorch Killer Bees in combat 293.
- Soul Anchor hairpin — Obtained after Siyao breaks an ancient tablet in the Rift. Its name suggests a connection to anchoring a soul or divine sense, but its precise function is not established 324.
- Flying sword — Used during exploration and put away when she chooses to practice unarmed combat in the Training Pavilion 382.
- Taiyi gold essence dagger — Her own dark-red, starlight-sand-decorated work from the Bagua Furnace; well-shaped and sharp but lacking magical-artifact properties 376 377.
- Rare refining materials — Collects the remaining high-grade materials from Tusita Palace for future practice after Chen Hao explains their value 377.
- Antidote Pills — Takes one in the poisonous peach grove, clearing the dizziness caused by its fragrance 294.
- Purple coral beauty cream — Prepares it from Chen Hao’s translated recipe and shares it with Siyao, Cai Jingwen, and Li Li after confirming its dramatic cosmetic effects 131.
Relationships
- Chen Siyao — Best friend, fellow student, housemate, and frequent exploration partner. Their friendship combines teasing with practical support: Siyao comforts her during her grandfather’s illness, guides her through dangerous discoveries, and brings food and water while she refines 58 59 294 376. Becoming Chen Hao’s disciple makes Siyao her “aunt-master” 159.
- Chen Hao — Master, protector, and close household companion. He saves her grandfather, teaches her cultivation, and recognizes her refining talent 67 159 225 377. She jokingly poses as his girlfriend to deter admirers, but no actual romantic relationship is established 76 77.
- Yang Weiguo — Grandfather. His terminal brain cancer prompts her plea for Chen Hao’s help; his recovery becomes a lasting source of gratitude 59 64 67.
- Qin Xiaoyu — Junior sister and combat teammate. Wanqing shields her after a formation repels her and later hugs her exuberantly after winning the halberd 209 220 231 234.
- Ying Wenjie — Junior brother and teammate who teases her about gaming instead of cultivation. She also jokes about his successful God of Wealth inheritance 209 210 220 267.
- Ye Chendong and Wu Tian — Junior brothers whose entry into Chen Hao’s lineage delights her after her earlier complaints about being its lowest-ranked member 209.
- Cai Jingwen and Li Li — Friends from their shared Northern Frontier travels. Wanqing helps bring viewers’ encouragement to Li Li, shares beauty cream with both women, and welcomes their visits 17 71 131 412.
- Yun Wanlan — Friend from the Sushen Tribe. Wanqing welcomes her with questions about her homeland, makes a pinky promise to return, and later hopes to show her Pengcheng and Huaxia’s food and attractions 329 352 431.
- Xiao Yue — Affectionate animal companion whom she holds, sleeps beside, and looks after during the siblings’ absence 135 159 225 412.
- Xiong Er — Friendly black bear she greets, pets, and uses as a comfortable seat. His self-taught advancement to Golden Body surprises and unsettles her 437.
- Fu Zhaojie — Fellow student whom she and Siyao unexpectedly find stranded in another world. She prompts him to explain how he arrived 303.

Trivia

- Her crafting ability develops unusually quickly: she clears Ji Li’s forging trial after studying the craft for less than a month 234.
- She values the halberd particularly because she won it through her own ability, rather than receiving a weapon from Chen Hao 235.
