Background
Tu Jiao is a Personal Disciple of Elder Qingwei and the only female body cultivator in the Lingxiao Sect’s Inner Sect. Her cultivation centers on the Primordial Hegemon Body, a physique that makes her formidable in direct combat and gives her unusual recovery and endurance. 233 431
She first meets Lu Changsheng after he joins Elder Qingwei’s Personal Disciples. Mistaking her masculine appearance for that of a man, he addresses her as “Senior Brother Tu,” prompting laughter from the assembled disciples and immediate embarrassment for Tu Jiao. She quickly challenges him after learning that he is also a body cultivator. 233
The Primordial Hegemon Body possesses a deep affinity with ancient primordial qi, body-refining treasures, dragon blood, and environments with perfected laws. These affinities enable Tu Jiao to make exceptional gains from opportunities such as the Primordial Bead, Dragon Transformation Pools, and the Spirit Domain. 256 426 593
Appearance
Tu Jiao is a tall, slender woman, described as roughly half a head taller than an ordinary man. She favors practical, close-fitting martial attire and keeps her hair short and upright.
- Delicate facial features contrasted by sharp, heroic brows and eagle-like eyes. 233
- Her flat chest and masculine presentation initially cause Lu Changsheng to mistake her for a man. 233
- Her Primordial Hegemon Body manifests as bronze, purple-gold, or dark-gold light; ancient markings emerge across her skin at full power. 419 609
- At higher output, her aura can form phantoms of primordial giants or Ten Elephants Suppress Prison behind her. 482 593 609
- While infiltrating Long Xiaotian’s inn, she wears a moon-white, close-fitting qipao that emphasizes the powerful, balanced physique developed through body cultivation while retaining her usual sharp and heroic bearing. 654
Personality
Tu Jiao is blunt, proud, and intensely competitive. She treats physical strength as proof of character and eagerly tests powerful body cultivators, as demonstrated by her immediate challenge to Lu Changsheng. 233 234
Despite her harsh speech and frequent arguments with Shi Jingtian, she is disciplined and dependable when responsibility matters. She chooses to gather intelligence alone in Black Demon City to avoid drawing attention, later takes charge of the group’s decisions while they recover, and calmly assesses dangerous environments before acting. 251 391 403
She has a strong sense of justice and reacts fiercely to the abuse of the weak. She and Shi Jingtian intervene when Myriad Poison Sect disciples steal a child’s keepsake, and she personally eliminates the remaining sect disciples after Shi Jingtian incapacitates their leader. 244 245
Her toughness is balanced by a protective, gentle side toward younger companions. She carefully treats Rui’er’s sword wounds with Jade Marrow Muscle-Regenerating Paste and is visibly relieved when Rui’er is found safe after getting lost in a forbidden area. 309 520
Tu Jiao is practical and frugal, readily criticizing Shi Jingtian’s extravagant spending while still quietly enjoying the benefits of his purchases. 688 She is also fiercely loyal to her companions; she reacts with outrage to Jing Tian’s abuse of Xiao Yi and is devastated when Shi Jingtian is gravely injured by the Heavenly Array Elder. 676 804
