Background

Hya is the youngest daughter of Yeli Feige, the Tiger King of the Thunder Wheel Tiger Clan's Figo lineage. Her exceptionally pure royal bloodline made her a threat to both her father and siblings; the Tiger King feared her potential, while his other children openly sought her death. 488 573

Gray, a released former traitor, lured Hya to a patch of Mountain Rock Flowers with a poisoned Color-Shifting Flower. The toxin was specifically made to suppress Thunder Wheel Tigers and was known only to the clan's kings. Once Hya was incapacitated, Gray and the Tiger King's personal guards attempted to kill her. 488

Song Changming interrupted the assassination using his Sound Spider ability to immobilize the attackers. Hya killed Gray by tearing out his heart, then eliminated the remaining conspirators. Song had previously spared Hya more than thirty years earlier and left a thunder mark inside her, allowing him to find her during the ambush. 488 489

Facing Song's killing intent afterward, Hya offered to serve him in exchange for help avenging herself upon her clan. Song removed the poison from her body but placed a God Binding Seal on her soul, binding her loyalty under threat of soul annihilation. He instructed her to provide Great Demon flesh and blood and exotic lightning. 489

Appearance

Hya typically appears as a young woman with heroic yet youthful features, but her appearance changed substantially after receiving the Thunder Pool inheritance. 488 577

• Initially wears resilient black armor and has black hair, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and fair skin. 488
• Possesses amber tiger eyes, tiger ears, sharp tiger teeth, and a white-striped tiger tail. 489 650
• After inheriting the Thunder Pool, her hair returns to its natural silver color and she wears deep-blue thunder armor patterned with lightning. 577
• Her demon form is a white Thunder Wheel Tiger, smaller than Yeli Feige's but capable of confronting him directly. 578
• When disguised in human territory, she wears a human woman's dress, which she finds overly revealing and uncomfortable compared with armor. 581

Personality

Hya is initially wary, blunt, and difficult to deceive, though Gray's apparent submission and the presence of her father's guards caused her to lower her guard at a fatal moment. Her clan's betrayal left her coldly decisive: after Song immobilized Gray, she killed him without hesitation. 488

Her defining motivation is revenge against Yeli Feige and the Figo royal family. Following her imprisonment, Hya learns to restrain her anger and think strategically, deciding that the Thunder Pool inheritance is her best chance to overthrow her father. 574

Although her servitude began under coercion, Hya grows deeply loyal to Song Changming, recognizing him as her master because of his strength and the lives he saved. She refuses repeated appeals to rejoin the Tiger Clan, considering her place to be at Song's side rather than among her blood relatives. 590 622 650

Hya is reserved around unfamiliar people and can be awkward with open affection, but she has an enthusiastic fondness for sweets and pastries. 587 602

Abilities & Skills

Thunder Wheel Tiger Bloodline

Hya possesses a rare and exceptionally pure Figo royal bloodline, stated to be purer than Yeli Feige's. This bloodline made her eligible for the Figo Thunder Pool and ultimately allowed it to recognize her as the new king of the lineage. 574 625

• Manipulates powerful deep-blue Thunder Strike energy. 488 588
• Can form lightning whips, tiger claws, lightning swords, and Thunder Tiger phantoms. 488 628 638

• Her Thunder Strike refinement eventually surpasses Yeli Feige's despite his greater cultivation. 617

Thunder Pool Inheritance

Hya spent forty-five days in the Figo Thunder Pool, receiving a complete bloodline baptism that awakened her royal potential and gave her the qualifications to become a Tiger King. 577

• Exerts royal bloodline suppression over ordinary Thunder Wheel Tiger demons. 577
• Gains access to ancestral demon arts, including an escape technique that can carry herself and Song Changming away as lightning. 577

• Seizes the Thunder Pool's recognition from Yeli Feige, stripping him of his kingship and dramatically weakening him. 625

Demon Form and Great Demon King Combat Power

Hya can transform into a white Thunder Wheel Tiger and fight directly against Tiger Kings. After further bloodline awakening, she reaches Great Demon King-level strength. 578 625

• Defeats and kills Yeli Feige after a battle lasting more than three days and three nights. 625
• Can break an Eighth-rank lightning-attribute talisman cage with a single sweep of her lightning sword. 628
• Battles Kannan Gray, another Tiger King, in a prolonged lightning-cannon clash without either side gaining an advantage. 638

After following Song Changming for many years, Hya begins practicing human saber techniques despite the usual demon reliance on bloodline arts. 637

• Uses a silver spirit blade wrapped in Thunder Strike energy. 650
• Her saber movements visibly resemble Song Changming's style, though they remain comparatively rough. 637
• Uses saber strikes to decapitate multiple insect demons in a single sweep. 637

Bindings and Limitations

• God Binding Seal — Song Changming branded a purple seal upon Hya's forehead and soul. If activated, it can completely annihilate her soul. 489
• Worm Race techniques — Chong Er's black worms could absorb Hya's demonic power and Thunder Strike, leaving her thunder armor shattered and causing a spreading wound until Song Changming removed them. 589
• Cultivation gap — Immediately after her initial Thunder Pool inheritance, she could challenge Yeli Feige but lacked the cultivation to defeat him without many more years of growth. 578

Equipment

• Black armor — A durable set of armor that remains largely intact after lightning and lava exposure. 489
• Deep-blue thunder armor — Lightning-patterned armor associated with her post-inheritance appearance and Thunder Strike power. 577
• Thousand Faces Man mask — A disguise mask given by Song Changming to conceal Hya's identity and transform her appearance into that of a mixed-blood tiger demon. 575
• Silver spirit blade — A saber she coats in Thunder Strike energy while fighting for Fox Mountain. 650
• Thunder God's Hammer — A Thunder Strike weapon used against Chong Er; it cracked and was discarded during their battle. 588 589

Relationships

• Song Changming — Master, rescuer, and later trusted ally. He saved Hya from Gray's assassination attempt, bound her with the God Binding Seal, helped her obtain the Thunder Pool inheritance, and ultimately allowed her to avenge herself by her own strength. 488 489 574 625
• Yeli Feige — Father and former Tiger King of the Figo lineage. He regarded Hya's bloodline as a threat, sought to seize it for himself, and was eventually killed by Hya. 488 625
• Gray — Former Tiger Clan traitor who poisoned and attempted to murder Hya under the Tiger King's authority; Hya killed him after Song immobilized him. 488
• Peidi — Elder brother who envied Hya's inheritance, denounced her after she left the Thunder Pool, and later attempted to kill her while she was injured. 577 579
• Su Qingqing — Fellow close attendant of Song Changming. Su Qingqing defended Hya's status before Xi Yanxue, and the two later worked together around Fox Mountain. 586 628
• Little Huang — Fellow attendant and friend. Little Huang admires Hya's Thunder Strike and offers to help her take revenge against Yeli Feige. 602
• Xi Yanxue — Su Qingqing's mother and Fox Clan leader. Initially hostile toward Hya due to the Tiger Clan's history with Fox Mountain, she accepts Hya after Song vouches for her. 586 587
