Background / History

Mu En remembers Zhang Lexuan as a child pleading for vengeance after her family suffered a tragedy. During Shiyu's later journey into the past, he intervenes when the Zhang family is attacked, killing their enemies and preventing the family’s destruction. Twelve-year-old Lexuan returns home to find her family alive and thanks him for saving them. 75 585

Initially cautious about accepting a master, Zhang Lexuan is convinced after Shiyu demonstrates the ability to enter Sea God Pavilion undetected and carry her through the sky with Spatial Power. She becomes his disciple, receives a Rank 98 Undead guardian, undergoes a talent-enhancing transformation, and gains the Space Mirror Martial Soul. 586

In her Shrek Academy period, Zhang Lexuan serves as an Inner Court Senior Sister. She leads Outer Court students into the Star Dou Forest for Soul Hunting Team assessments, where both successful Soul Ring acquisition and student safety affect her score. 21 22

Appearance

Zhang Lexuan is a beautiful woman whose Moon Martial Soul and moonlight cultivation give her a cool, detached presence likened to a fairy from a moon palace. 74

• Her Moon Martial Soul radiates silver moonlight and resonates with natural moonlight. 74
• Her eyes shine with a silver moonlight glow during her Rank 80 breakthrough. 75
• When released, her original Cold Clear Moon Martial Soul manifests alongside her Soul Rings. 26

Personality

Zhang Lexuan is gentle, diligent, and modest despite her exceptional cultivation talent. She cultivates through the night to make use of moonlight, avoids wasting time, and insists that she still has far to go after reaching Rank 80. 74 75 76

As a senior disciple, she is stern about academy rules and refuses to tolerate students attempting to kill one another. She also expects cooperation during missions and warns that personal grudges must not endanger the team. 22 27

She is protective of those under her care, including Shiyu, Jiang Nannan, and Ma Xiaotao. During the Body Sect attack, she trusts Shiyu’s promise to return and fights Yu Tao to protect the escaping Inner Court students. 76 135

Abilities & Skills

Cold Clear Moon Martial Soul

Zhang Lexuan’s original Martial Soul is the Moon, also called Cold Clear Moon. It grants her powerful moonlight-based attacks and is most effective during nighttime cultivation. 26 74

• Moonlight cultivation — Her residence is selected for its favorable moonlight, and cultivating at night is several times more effective for her than cultivating during the day. 74
• Moonlight weapon — Her third Soul Skill fires a moonlight beam that becomes an extremely sharp weapon. 26
• Rapid reaction and control — Even while suppressing herself to Soul Ancestor level, she can repeatedly intercept Shiyu’s spatial attacks. 88
• Moonlight Anomaly — Her Rank 80 breakthrough intensifies moonlight across the Inner Court and prompts speculation that she may have awakened a domain early. 75

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Skill

Her eighth Soul Ring originates from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Star Moon Dragon Wolf. 78 79

• Soul Douluo-level killing power — Her eighth Soul Skill ultimately defeats Yu Tao after a direct clash with his Body Sect combat techniques. 138
• Severe expenditure — The attack leaves her staggering and vulnerable to Poison Undying’s retaliation. 138 139
• High-risk acquisition — She absorbed the ring while gravely injured, causing extensive damage to her meridians and Martial Soul origin. 78

Space Mirror Martial Soul

In the altered version of her past, Shiyu integrates a First-level Space-Attribute Divine Artifact into Zhang Lexuan, creating her second Martial Soul, the Space Mirror. 586

• Ultimate Space Attribute — The Space Mirror emits strong spatial fluctuations and possesses the ultimate Space Attribute. 586
• Divine potential — Shiyu states that the Martial Soul alone gives her the potential to become a god. 586
• Artifact nature — Once sufficiently cultivated, she may be able to activate the embedded First-level Divine Artifact in battle. 586

Combat Instruction

Zhang Lexuan regularly supervises and spars with Shiyu and Jiang Nannan, identifying weaknesses that ordinary practice does not reveal. 87 88

• She suppresses her cultivation and Soul Skills to create training conditions appropriate for weaker opponents. 88 113
• Her pressure helps Shiyu reach Level 30 during a sparring session. 88
• After losing to Shiyu’s Space Attribute while restricted to Soul Ancestor level, she adapts by raising her suppression to Soul King level; their next fight ends in a draw. 113

Equipment / Items

• Rank 98 Undead guardian — Given to her by Shiyu in the altered past as a personal protector against future dangers. 586
• First-level Space-Attribute Divine Artifact — Integrated into her body to form the Space Mirror Martial Soul. 586

Relationships

• Shiyu — Initially her Outer Court junior and Soul Hunting Team member; later her neighbor, sparring partner, romantic partner, and disciple-master counterpart after Shiyu alters her past. Shiyu’s blood treatment saves her cultivation after her Soul Ring accident. 21 79 518 523 586
• Mu En — Her benefactor at Shrek Academy; he remembers her as a child seeking vengeance for her family and monitors her progress with pride. 74 75
• Elder Xuan — Senior academy elder who guards her Rank 80 breakthrough and personally leads the expedition for her eighth Soul Ring. He is deeply distressed by her resulting injuries. 75 76 78
• Jiang Nannan — Fellow Shrek student and regular sparring partner under Zhang Lexuan’s guidance; the two later share friendly competition as Shiyu’s disciples. 87 88 523
• Ma Xiaotao — Junior fellow disciple and companion. Ma Xiaotao supports Zhang Lexuan during her recovery, while Zhang Lexuan protects her during the Body Sect attack. 79 135 482
• Xu Sanshi — Academy junior whom Zhang Lexuan reprimands and punishes for letting jealousy and personal conflict endanger fellow students. 22 27
• Yu Tao — Body Sect Soul Douluo killed by Zhang Lexuan’s Hundred-Thousand-Year eighth Soul Skill. 135 138

Story Role / Major Arcs

Star Dou Forest Soul Hunt

Zhang Lexuan leads Shiyu, Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi, and Beibei into the Star Dou Forest. She establishes rules against internal conflict, protects the group from Soul Beasts, and disciplines Xu Sanshi after he interferes with Shiyu’s Soul Ring acquisition. 22 24 27

She allows Shiyu to attempt absorbing a thousand-year Void Turtle Soul Ring as his second ring after he explains that his Soul Bone-enhanced physique can bear the strain. 28

Inner Court Breakthrough and Soul Ring Disaster

After Shiyu becomes her neighbor in the Inner Court, Zhang Lexuan breaks through Rank 80 under Elder Xuan’s protection. Her extraordinary talent draws the attention of teachers, students, and Mu En. 74 75

During the subsequent hunt for her eighth Soul Ring, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Star Moon Dragon Wolf kills the other Inner Court disciples present. Zhang Lexuan kills the beast and absorbs its Soul Ring, but nearly loses both her life and cultivation in the process. 78 79

Shiyu agrees to provide blood treatments, and Elder Zhuang uses the vitality within it to restore Zhang Lexuan over multiple treatments. Her injuries eventually heal completely. 78 79 88

Training Shiyu and Jiang Nannan

Zhang Lexuan becomes a regular combat instructor for Shiyu and Jiang Nannan, first observing their sparring and later personally fighting them under suppressed cultivation. 87 88

Shiyu later defeats her when she limits herself to Soul Ancestor-level power and her first four Soul Skills. When she raises her limit to Soul King level, their fight ends without a victor. 113

Body Sect Conflict

During the Body Sect attack, Zhang Lexuan holds off the Soul Douluo Yu Tao while attempting to protect the fleeing Inner Court students. 135

She activates her Hundred-Thousand-Year eighth Soul Skill and kills Yu Tao, only for Poison Undying to attack her in retaliation. Shiyu saves her by swapping her position with a stone through his second Soul Skill. 138 139

Relationship with Shiyu

Zhang Lexuan confesses her feelings by embracing Shiyu and asking for his answer. He accepts her while openly stating that his love will not be exclusive, and she chooses to trust him. 518

When Shiyu later obtains the more than seven-hundred-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord Soul Ring, he promises it to Zhang Lexuan when she reaches Rank 90 and assures her that he will help her absorb it safely. 520 523
