Qian Daoliu

Biodata

Background / History

Qian Daoliu was among the Spirit Hall powerhouses who sensed the continent-wide phenomenon caused by Ye Feng's awakening of the Star Ancestral Dragon martial soul. He speculated that it might be a newly born royal soul beast whose bloodline had returned to its ancestral state. 3

He is Qian Renxue's grandfather, sole surviving close elder, and a central figure in her life. He regards her as his most precious treasure, valuing both her pure Angel bloodline and her potential to inherit the Angel God's position. 81

Personality

Qian Daoliu is intensely protective of Qian Renxue. When she contacts him from Spirit City, he immediately leaves seclusion and rushes to her side; when she threatens herself to secure Ye Feng's rescue, he panics and agrees to help. 81 82

He values talent but also initially judges Ye Feng harshly for Qian Renxue's attachment to him. His opinion changes after witnessing Ye Feng condense a Soul Core, endure the Thunder Tribulation, and absorb its power; he concludes that Ye Feng's potential makes him a suitable match for Qian Renxue. 84 87

Qian Daoliu is proud of his Demigod status and easily provoked by disrespect. Ye Feng's repeated provocations cause him to abandon his earlier restraint and attempt to capture him with his Angel Domain and control techniques. 87 88

Abilities & Skills

Demigod-Level Angel Power

Angel Domain and Control Techniques

Qian Daoliu can expand an Angel Domain, filling its range with Holy Light and sharply increasing his movement speed. 88

• Chains of Light — a control skill that requires him to lock onto the target first. 88
• Judgment of Holy Light — an offensive Holy Light technique. 88
• Void Lock — a spatial restriction technique. 88

• He identifies the convergence of regional elemental energy as a Soul Douluo attempting to condense a Soul Core. 85
• He explains that Thunder Tribulations contain the world's rule power and target beings deemed excessively heaven-defying. 85
• He correctly judges that Ye Feng's ability to condense a Soul Core and survive the tribulation indicates extraordinary physical strength and mental power. 87

Relationships
