Appearance

Yun Ming ordinarily appears as a handsome young man in his twenties, carrying a natural, imposing dominance despite his true seniority and status. 256

• Calm, refined bearing when wielding a spear. 381
• Wears black robes while operating as an enemy after his survival. 368 385
• Bears a blue-gold Sea God mark on his forehead after gaining Sea God power. 388

Personality

As Shrek's leader, Yun Ming is protective, responsible, and deeply committed to the academy's survival. He considers Shrek more important than himself, trains Tang Wulin without holding back, and entrusts him with missions intended to prepare him for leadership. 263 322 325

He is confident in his strength and can be domineering when Shrek is challenged, but he also observes proper courtesy toward seniors and is willing to honor an agreement after losing. 177 311 313 His concern for Ya Li is equally profound; before Shrek's destruction, he repeatedly urges her to live on even if he dies. 323 325

Following his survival, Yun Ming becomes increasingly consumed by his desire for godhood and to restore Shrek. Tang San exploits that desperation, leading Yun Ming to accept the indignity of joining the Holy Spirit Cult and eventually fight his former allies. 341 385

History

Leadership of Shrek Academy

Yun Ming leads Shrek Academy and serves as its Sea God Pavilion Master. He maintains an outwardly cordial but competitive relationship with the Spirit Pagoda, aware that open conflict between the two major powers would weaken both sides. 177

He accepts Tang Wulin as a direct disciple and teaches him spear techniques sincerely. Recognizing Tang Wulin's steadier temperament and potential, Yun Ming assigns him to investigate disturbances in the Far North and lends him the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear. 263

Deal with Spirit Creation Academy

Yun Ming visits Spirit Creation Academy seeking an exchange and offers Lin Xuan a Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Jade Marrow. In return, he requests Life Contract trials for Shrek students and offers access to Devil Island. 257

When Lin Xuan later demands a branch of Shrek's Golden Ancient Tree to save Qian Gu Ling Hua, Yun Ming initially refuses to risk the academy's resources. He challenges Lin Xuan to endure three spear strikes, but Lin Xuan defeats and suppresses him within three moves. 310 311 312 Yun Ming honors the result and provides a branch sufficient for Lin Xuan's needs. 313 314

Shrek's Destruction and Survival

In the period before Shrek's destruction, Yun Ming becomes restless and increasingly convinced that an unseen threat is approaching. He gives Tang Wulin advice that resembles a final farewell and urges Ya Li to live on should anything happen to him. 322 323

When the Holy Spirit Cult attacks Shrek with a God-Slaying Missile, he burns his half-Divine Throne to use Sky Pillar, Shoot Down the Sun, sacrificing himself to reduce the academy's losses. 325 Tang San's divine sense secretly preserves him, however, and subsequently persuades him to join the Holy Spirit Cult as part of a larger plan. 341

Pursuit of Godhood

Yun Ming undertakes the Sea God's trials, becoming willing to cripple the Star Luo Empire or kill Dai Tianling to complete the seventh trial. Lin Xuan intervenes, blocks his attack, and forces him to retreat. 368

He later cooperates with the Demon Empress and the Abyss Saint Lord's scheme, while secretly serving Tang San's interests. 376 Having inherited the Sea God's Divine Throne, he returns to the battlefield as the Sea God and joins the Demon Empress against Lin Xuan and Ya Li. 384 385

During the battle, the Demon Empress betrays him and sends him into spatial turbulence with Myriad Soul Devour. Tang Hao rescues the severely injured Yun Ming, after which Tang San uses his body as a vessel to personally enter the conflict. 386 388 389

Relationships

• Ya Li — His wife and the person he most fears leaving behind. He urges her to survive after his death, while she is devastated by his presumed loss and later confronts him after he joins the Holy Spirit Cult. 177 323 325 384 385
• Tang Wulin — Direct disciple. Yun Ming considers Tang Wulin one of his most outstanding students, teaches him spear techniques, and entrusts him with the Far North mission. 263 322
• Lin Xuan — Political rival and later enemy. Yun Ming loses to him in their three-move duel, grants him a Golden Ancient Tree branch, and later fights him after inheriting Sea God power. 312 314 384 385
• Tang San — Savior and manipulator. Tang San preserves Yun Ming after the missile strike, recruits him into the Holy Spirit Cult, and later uses Yun Ming's body to manifest personally. 341 388 389
• Demon Empress — Temporary ally in the plan involving the Abyss, though she later turns on Yun Ming and traps him with Myriad Soul Devour. 376 385 386
• Qian Gu Die Ting — Longstanding rival from the Spirit Pagoda. Yun Ming once shattered his Dao heart with a single spear strike, while Qian Gu Die Ting later seeks to repay that humiliation. 310
