History

Upbringing

Yang Wei was raised by his single father, Yang Kun, the deputy head of the Chu Martial Arts School. With his father having worked there for more than a dozen years, Yang Wei practically grew up at the school. He knew Chu Ge for years, although they were initially described as ordinary friends rather than close companions 13.

He attended Donghai Martial Arts No. 1 High School as a second-year student, one year ahead of Chu Ge 13.

School Selection Tournament

Yang Wei advanced through the school's selection tournament with opponents suffering unexplained weakness and sluggish movements. None of his preliminary opponents lasted three minutes. He and Chu Ge secured the school's two competition slots, but Yang Wei insisted on fighting to determine who was better 13 14.

In the final, Yang Wei poisoned Chu Ge and waited for paralysis to end the match. He urged Chu Ge to concede, partly out of consideration for their friendship and partly because he recognized the danger of a desperate counterattack. Chu Ge instead built [Instant] to sixteenfold speed and struck Yang Wei out of the arena before becoming fully incapacitated. Yang Wei finished as runner-up 14.

East Sea Martial Arts School Competition

Yang Wei hoped to win the championship's valuable Silver Weapon, but his first-round draw paired him with Ye Han, who had defeated him before. After considering numerous approaches, he estimated his chances of victory at no more than thirty percent. Nevertheless, he promised to treat the entire martial arts school to dinner if he won 22 23.

Ye Han's [Single-Person Blind Spot] prevented Yang Wei from perceiving him. Yang Wei's repeated slashes missed, and Ye Han ultimately kicked him out of the arena. Afterward, Yang Wei asked Chu Ge to avenge him, offering two weeks of duck-leg rice as an incentive 24.

When Chu Ge defeated Ye Han, Yang Wei enthusiastically congratulated him and asked how he had countered the trait. After Chu Ge won the championship, Yang Wei began honoring his promise by taking him, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Lan to a Shaxian snack shop 25.

Appearance

• Build: Fat, with a prominent belly; the narration repeatedly describes him as a “little fatty” 13 23 25.
• Expression: Often wears a cheerful smile, including while trading blows with Chu Ge 14.

Personality

Yang Wei is competitive but capable of recognizing a difficult matchup. He demanded a decisive fight against Chu Ge even after securing his competition slot, yet openly admitted his anxiety about facing Ye Han. Despite expecting poor odds, he still resolved to fight 13 22 23.

He handles setbacks with exaggerated complaints and banter. After losing to Ye Han, he joked about ambushing him in a toilet with poison gas and recruited Chu Ge to take revenge in the tournament. He also kept his meal promise after Chu Ge won, initially ordering every available extra for all four diners before learning that the others wanted regular portions 24 25.

Abilities & Skills

Poison Gas

• Rating: Three-star trait 14.
• Release: Emits poisonous gas when Yang Wei releases his qi and blood; opponents can inhale it without immediately realizing the danger 14.
• Activation: The inhaled poison takes effect when the victim circulates Primordial Force, gradually paralyzing the body 14.
• Effect: Causes weakness, impaired movement, and eventual inability to fight. It is described as nonlethal 14.
• Interaction with consumption: Faster Primordial Force consumption accelerates the poison's spread, making Chu Ge's increasingly costly [Instant] especially dangerous to use against it 14.
• Limit: Paralysis is gradual rather than immediate. Chu Ge remained capable of delivering a decisive attack before the poison completely disabled him 14.

Saber Combat

• Fights with a broad-backed saber, using it to block Chu Ge's spear and to attack Ye Han 14 24.
• Recognized that he would probably lose a direct, trait-free confrontation with Chu Ge despite their equal cultivation levels 14.

Equipment

• Broad-backed saber / broadsword — His weapon during both the school selection final and his match against Ye Han. Its grade is not specified 14 24.

Relationships

• Yang Kun — Father and deputy head of the Chu Martial Arts School. Raised Yang Wei alone and celebrated his trait awakening with a three-day banquet 13.
• Chu Ge — Longtime acquaintance, school junior, and fellow tournament representative. Their interactions develop into frequent teasing, mutual encouragement, and Yang Wei's request for revenge against Ye Han 13 24 25.
• Ye Han — Classmate, desk mate, and repeat tournament opponent. His perception-blocking trait defeated Yang Wei both before the competition and during its first round 22 24.
• Xiao Lan — Yang Wei usually looks after her at the martial arts school. She supports him during his match and is disappointed by his defeat 24.
• Ye Qingwu — A fellow second-year student in his high school class 25.

Trivia

• Plays Honor of Kings. Chu Ge criticizes him for taking minions from all three lanes while finishing with zero kills and nine deaths; Yang Wei later uninstalls the game after angry teammates threaten him 22 23.
• Considers contestant number 44 unlucky and suspects someone deliberately arranged his draw 23.
• Usually orders duck-leg rice with every available extra and is still only barely full afterward 25.
