Han Yue

Biodata

Background and History

Han Yue became a prominent figure at Jia Nan Academy for her appearance and talent. She qualified for the Inner Academy’s top fifty the previous year but voluntarily withdrew, choosing to train for another year and pursue a top-five finish 34 35.

Inner Academy Selection Tournament

Han Yue won her elimination match by using cold mist to slow a Wind Attribute opponent, then stopping her sword at his throat 35. She advanced through the tournament and defeated a lightning-attribute cultivator in the semifinal 40.

Before the final, she asked Xiao Yao to fight at full strength. He broke through her ice defenses and placed his spear against her neck before she could draw her weapon, leaving her in second place 40 41.

As one of the top five contestants, Han Yue visited the Library Pavilion, where she caught the High Xuan Tier Profound Ice Secret Canon 42 43.

Fire Energy Hunting Competition

Han Yue initially traveled with Xiao Yao and three other newcomers, but Xiao Yao left the group to cultivate alone 46. Later, she and other new students fought two veteran teams. After several newcomers were defeated, Han Yue surrendered; Leng Shuang then attacked her, but Xiao Yao intercepted the blow 49.

After Xiao Yao defeated the veterans, Han Yue used his Fire Crystal Card to restore the participating newcomers’ Fire Energy to five days. She offered to help him face the Black Fiend and White Fiend teams, but agreed to his plan for the injured newcomers to enter the Inner Academy while he held the teams off 50 51.

Ruins Expedition

Three months after entering the Inner Academy, Han Yue invited Xiao Yao to explore ruins guarded by a peak fourth-tier Purple-Striped Wind-Chasing Leopard. She offered him half the treasures in exchange for his help 65 66.

Han Yue explained the leopard’s scent-based detection ability, and Xiao Yao killed it by detonating a Sun Magic Core concealed in a Serrated Mouse. In its damaged lair, Han Yue found artificial marks that led them to a hidden stone chamber 67 68.

The pair found the remains of a Three-Star Dou Wang and a collection of techniques and treasures. Han Yue offered to reduce her share to thirty percent, but Xiao Yao honored their original fifty-fifty agreement. They shared reusable cultivation methods and Dou Techniques, including the Low Earth Tier technique Brilliant Meteor 69 70.

Personality

Han Yue deliberately maintains an icy manner to discourage unwanted attention. Beneath that reserve, she is ambitious: she delayed entering the Inner Academy for a year to seek a higher tournament ranking, and asked Xiao Yao to fight her at full strength in the final 34 35 40.

She takes responsibility for others and is willing to acknowledge their contributions. She organized the injured newcomers after the battle with the veterans and offered Xiao Yao a larger share of the ruins’ spoils because she felt she had contributed less 50 69.
