Shen Wanjin is one of the geniuses from the Cangmang Continent. After hearing Mu Wuji's warning before arriving at the Shengzhou Continent, he is the first person to have chosen Zhou Yuan to become his leader because he wants to have someone strong and capable to protect him in the Cangxuan Sect.
Appearance[]
Shen Wanji is a little fatty. Though a smile is usually present on his face, light often flickers brightly in his small eyes, an indication of his exceptional brilliance. Although he looks very weak, that doesn't mean he is truly so because he is selected by Mu Wuji to come to Cangxuan Sect.
Personality[]
Shen Wanjin is a straight forward and business-talented person. There is no beating about the bush when he asks Zhou Yuan to be his protector with a direct declaration: "Big bro, I’m here to grab ahold of you with all my might. I’m yours from now onwards so please do shelter me".
He also claims that he is mediocre in every other aspect, but he is confident in his ability to judge. That's why he chooses Zhou Yuan to create some good karma because he has a feeling that the latter will definitely become akin to a fish in water inside the Cangxuan Sect in the future.
Background[]
The Shen clan was an overlord of its own domain, equipped with wealth that could match entire empires. Shen Wanji declared that his clan valued good judgment the most. The clan was fond of making friends, regardless of whether they were strong or weak. That was why his clan had the most friends in the Cangmang Continent. As for how to choose those worthy of investing in from amongst these friends, it would depend on one’s judgment ability.
History[]
Ever since Mu Wuji's warning, the Cangmang geniuses had understood that their previous status in their homeland would no longer be valid in the Shengzhou Continent, making them extremely ordinary instead. In fact, they may not even be able to become formal disciples of the Cangxuan Sect. The cruel reality was a wake-up call for everyone. Most of them began to train frantically, hoping to at least raise their strength a little before reaching the Cangxuan Sect, so as to avoid becoming a third-class disciple and be looked down upon by others. On the other hand, Shen Wanjin had chosen the most direct and efficient method: relying on Zhou Yuan and practically becoming the latter's servant during this period, obediently abiding his every command.
With regard to this, Zhou Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, he was pretty surprised by Shen Wanjin's decisiveness to give everything up just like that. Although he was nothing special to look at, he was clearly still very talented. Hence, after trying to dissuade him several times to no avail, Zhou Yuan could no longer be bothered, letting the former do as he wanted. Shen Wanji also engaged his ‘favorable impression’ attack on Yaoyao by gifting many rare liquors to her without any regard to cost, making Yaoyao finally had a slight impression of this little fatty.
Shen Wanji was selected to become a Saint Genesis Peak, but unlike others who felt dispirited or unlucky, he felt that he was very lucky to be in the same peak as Zhou Yuan's and Yao Yao's. He still acted like a loyal follower to the latter.
