Power Progression

Appearance

Wu Yang has a chubby build and a fleshy, expressive face. His face flushes when he excitedly congratulates Yu Bu'e after the latter's martial arts demonstration 1 2 10.

Personality

Wu Yang is protective of Yu Bu'e despite frequently envying his romantic success. When Cheng Ruxin confronts his friend, Wu Yang prepares to intervene if a fight breaks out, regardless of whether he can win. He also challenges Xu Hu's insults and checks that Yu Bu'e has not been discouraged by other students' criticism 7 8 9.

He enjoys sarcastic banter and theatrical declarations.
