Background / History

Mo Ying enrolled at Heaven Dou Royal Academy as an eight-year-old Soul Grand Master. He preferred solitude and received a single dormitory room; he briefly warned Qian Yuling about the upcoming placement exam when they first met 6.

During the placement exam, his rare second Thousand-Year Soul Ring immediately drew the Education Committee's attention. He defeated Ye Dali with his First Soul Skill, then won the championship match against Qian Yuling after using Starburst Gale Slash to eliminate her remaining summons 7 8.

Mimicry Cultivation accelerated his growth by four ranks in one day. Although Qian Yuling later surpassed him in Soul Power, Mo Ying repeatedly defeated her in their year of sparring, establishing a close but intensely competitive rivalry 10 11.

He led Lu Xiaoguo and Hua Ruyi in the New Student Competition as Summit of the Sacred Sword. After defeating Qian Yuling's team in their placement-exam encounter, he was ultimately defeated by her newly acquired Ultimate-attribute Upper Spirits in the tournament's top-sixteen match 8 15 17. His team later lost to Little Giant in the loser's bracket, preventing the promised rematch with Qian Yuling in the finals 18.

When the Hundred-Thousand-Year Wind Drifter Dragon abducted Qian Yuling, Mo Ying impulsively seized the dragon's tail and was carried away with her. He helped Qian Yuling escape a Ten Thousand-Year Dazzling Bird on the Coral Plateau before they were separated by an unknown energy wave 21 22. After returning to the academy, he was distressed to see Qian Yuling close to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and chose not to accompany her to Shrek Academy 27.

Personality

Mo Ying is quiet and reserved, initially preferring a single room over shared accommodation 6. In battle, he is decisive and self-assured; he openly challenges Qian Yuling's confidence in their rivalry and expects his own strength to prevail 11 15.

He is also protective of his teammates. He used Blade Storm to free Lu Xiaoguo and Hua Ruyi from restraint, then relied on them to delay Qian Yuling's Upper Spirits while he recovered 16. His decision to cling to the Wind Drifter Dragon's tail to follow Qian Yuling was entirely instinctive, suggesting feelings he struggles to act on directly 21 27.
