Background / History

Qian Mu was introduced at Shrek Academy as the older half of the “Black and White Twin Snow,” presenting herself and Qian Fei as twin sisters. Both used the appearances of girls around eleven or twelve years old while approaching Tang Ya and Bei Bei. 14 Qian Mu’s true nature is that of Shi Bao, the Herrscher of Erosion, who serves Lu Xueling as the Honkai God and can communicate with him mentally across great distances. 28

Upon entering Freshman Class Nine, Qian Mu defeated Dai Huabin in the contest for class monitor despite being two ranks below him. Her victory established her as class monitor, with Qian Fei appointed vice monitor. 25 She later crippled Wang Dong’s Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul after Wang Dong attacked her with intent to kill; Shrek’s investigation ruled the incident self-defense, though excessive in force. 25 27

The Wang Dong incident brought Qian Mu into conflict with Zhou Yi. Although she avoided openly attacking the Soul Emperor due to the academy’s stronger observers, she privately intended to erode Zhou Yi as well. 26 28 After Lu Xueling granted her the Durandal Tease (Lower) Lv.1 sacred mark and ordered her not to leave grudges unresolved, Qian Mu helped turn Zhou Yi’s public humiliation attempt into a student uprising. 28 29 The resulting transfers brought twenty former Class One students into Class Nine. 30

After obtaining her third ring, Qian Mu led Qian Fei and Xiao Xiao through the freshman assessment undefeated. Her team defeated Xie Huanyue’s team in the semifinals and Dai Huabin’s Hell White Tiger fusion in the final, becoming tournament champions. 76 78 79 Qian Mu and Qian Fei were subsequently invited to become Outer Academy core disciples. 76

As a second-year student, Qian Mu passed Shrek’s advancement assessment with a perfect score, defeating a thousand-year Bloodthirsty Demon Bear in two movements. 101 102 She later served on Shrek’s competition roster, defeating Tian Ling Academy’s team in seven seconds behind a barrier that prevented spectators from seeing the fight. 128

Appearance

Qian Mu maintains the appearance of a young girl, usually presenting herself as lively and harmless despite the oppressive nature of her Erosion power. 14 28

• White hair and purple-black heeled boots. 25
• Black wings, which she can conceal rather than use in public combat. 25 101
• Often adopts an adorable, bright-eyed expression that quickly earns admiration from other students. 28
• Her eyes can flash scarlet when Erosion is active. 25

Personality

Qian Mu’s public persona is gentle, playful, and sociable. Class Nine regards her as a powerful but considerate monitor who does not act arrogantly toward classmates. 29 30 She deliberately uses this image to attract support and manipulate opponents’ assumptions; she and Qian Fei privately mock Zhou Yi while publicly appearing vulnerable. 29

Behind the performance, Qian Mu is ruthless, vindictive, and dismissive of those she considers weak or hostile. She nearly killed Wang Dong, considered eroding Zhou Yi into a part of herself, and openly admits to leaving hidden Erosion within He Caitou after apparently curing him. 25 26 119 Her loyalty to Qian Fei is genuine, however, and she readily assists her sister in recovering the Angel Sacred Sword. 68 75

Abilities & Skills

Authority of Erosion

As the Herrscher of Erosion, Qian Mu can manifest black or dark-blue Erosion energy that damages bodies, martial souls, and minds.

• Caught Wang Dong’s Sidewing Guillotine barehanded and sent Erosion through Wang Dong’s body, forcing the Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul to withdraw. 25
• Inflicted martial-soul damage so severe that Yan Shaozhe required the full purification power of his martial soul to remove the visible corruption. 26 98
• Can remove her own Erosion from a victim, as she did for He Caitou under Xuan Zi’s instruction. 118
• Can conceal residual Erosion after a supposed cure; she left hidden damage in He Caitou’s soles that caused partial paralysis. 119
• Her Erosion-enhanced arrow pierced He Caitou’s chest and dissolved his Soul Cannon barrels; even Xuan Zi could only temporarily suppress the Honkai Energy. 116

Control-Type Soul Skills

Qian Mu identifies herself as a control-system Soul Master and uses overwhelming restraint rather than direct exchanges. 101

• Restrained a thousand-year Bloodthirsty Demon Bear’s paw and crushed it with her second Soul Skill, earning a perfect assessment score. 102
• Defeated opponents above her cultivation level, including Rank 31 Dai Huabin while she was Rank 29. 25
• Can fight without relying on flight, choosing to walk directly toward a thousand-year soul beast during her assessment. 101

Beginning of Erosion

Qian Mu’s Self-Created Soul Skill creates a large crystal barrier that isolates the battlefield.

• Fired an arrow that transformed into a purple-red semicircular barrier enveloping the freshman-assessment arena. 78
• The barrier’s principles were unreadable even to Mu En and Xuan Zi, and it obscured the details of her victory over the Hell White Tiger. 78 98
• Within the barrier, she defeated the Hell White Tiger with a single arrow, incapacitating Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Cui Yajie, and Xiao Xiao. 78

Sacred Mark and Herrscher Link

Qian Mu maintains a mental connection to Lu Xueling and has received a sacred mark from him.

• Communicates directly with Lu Xueling through the Herrscher link while physically remaining at Shrek. 28
• Bears the Durandal Tease (Lower) Lv.1 sacred mark below her spine. 28
• Received Lu Xueling’s command to settle grudges immediately whenever she holds the advantage. 28

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Dark-blue crystal bow — Manifested for combat; Qian Mu can condense arrows from it, including the arrow used to eliminate Xie Huanyue. 76
• Durandal Tease (Lower) Lv.1 — Sacred mark granted by Lu Xueling. 28

Relationships

• Qian Fei / Qian Renxue — Her public younger sister and closest partner. Qian Mu calls her “Little Golden Mane,” supports her recovery of the Angel Sacred Sword, and fights alongside her as part of the Qian Mu Team. 18 68 75 78
• Lu Xueling — Her creator, commander, and “Honkai God.” He grants her power and gives her direct orders through their Herrscher link. 28
• Mu Jin — Homeroom teacher who values Qian Mu’s talent, defends her during the Zhou Yi conflict, and trusts her leadership of Class Nine. 25 29 102
• Xiao Xiao — Teammate in the Qian Mu Team. Qian Mu recognizes Xiao Xiao’s concealed Twin Martial Souls but does not expose her secret. 65 79
• Dai Huabin — Initial rival for Class Nine’s monitor position who later becomes a respectful classmate and a defeated tournament opponent. 25 29 78
• Wang Dong — Hostile rival whose attack prompted Qian Mu’s Erosion retaliation and lasting fear of her power. 25 39 116
• Zhou Yi — Antagonistic teacher whom Qian Mu threatens, manipulates, and regards with open contempt. 26 28 30
• Xuan Zi — A powerful Shrek elder wary of her Erosion. He cannot fully understand her Self-Created Soul Skill and later relies on her to remove Erosion from He Caitou. 98 118
