Background & History

Ye Qiu was an orphan before awakening Venom with Innate Full Soul Power. Yu Xiaogang concluded that Venom was a mutated martial soul, since Ye Qiu was a commoner with exceptional innate talent. 2 6 180

Venom initially had a major weakness: high temperatures. Ye Qiu tested its physical capabilities early, discovering that Martial Soul Possession let him scale walls and rooftops while greatly reinforcing his body. 3 After consuming the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he became immune to heat, cold, and poison, eliminating Venom’s original vulnerability. 44

His early bond with Xiao Wu developed through frequent sparring, teasing, possession, and involuntary memory sharing. Their growing familiarity eventually enabled their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Qiu Wu. 10 17 106

Appearance

In his normal form, Ye Qiu has black hair and black eyes. Ice-fire body tempering and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum improved his appearance, height, musculature, and overall bearing. 45

• Venom Possession covers him in black material marked with white, leaving prominent white eye patches. 28 100
• His body can liquefy, reconstruct itself after damage, and harden into metallic armor or weapons. 80 128
• He can manifest eight black, barbed and venomous spider lances from his back. 163
• Venom’s tadpole form later gained blue, gold, red, gray, and dark coloring associated with his five innate domains. 707

Personality

Ye Qiu is confident, provocative, and highly self-assured about both his talent and future potential. He routinely taunts opponents and enjoys unsettling people such as Tang San, Qian Renxue, and Demon Charm. 128 156 276 387

He is also calculating. He studies opponents’ techniques, conceals portions of Venom’s capabilities when advantageous, and actively seeks spirit rings, spirit bones, divine trials, and fusion methods that can expand his power. 31 37 570 615

Despite his ruthlessness in combat, Ye Qiu is protective of people he considers his own. He shields Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing in battle, supports his companions’ cultivation, and makes plans around their survival and advancement. 387 404 613
