Background

Li Xin spent years pursuing the strength needed to join a Demon Hunting Group. Before her later breakthroughs, she struggled at the Third Rank and regarded her original thirty points of Innate Internal Spiritual Power as an obstacle to her ambitions. Despite this, she continued cultivating with the goal of one day becoming a Ninth-Tier Divine Seal Knight. 80 114

She trained and cared for Ye Ling during his early years at the Haoyue Branch Temple, becoming both his sparring partner and older-sister figure. Their regular sparring initially ended with Li Xin decisively defeating him, until Ye Ling's rapid growth reversed their dynamic. 16 17 166

After agreeing to Ye Ling's Vassal Contract, Li Xin's Innate Internal Spiritual Power rose from thirty to seventy points. The transformation made her an Angel of Light and gave her the potential she had previously believed impossible. 80 81 88

Her cultivation with Ye Ling, including joint light-element cultivation, accelerated her progress further. She eventually broke through to the Fifth Tier, becoming a Fifth-Tier Level 1 Earth Knight after five years of effort. 109 114 115

Personality

Li Xin is direct, competitive, and unafraid to challenge people stronger than herself. She regularly teases Ye Ling and Long Haochen, boasts playfully about her own beauty and strength, and maintains a friendly but intense rivalry with Wang Yuanyuan. 3 48 125 162

Beneath her bold demeanor, she is persistent and self-aware. She understood the limits imposed by her original talent, initially worried that becoming Ye Ling's vassal might hinder his future, and refused to rely solely on him for Demon Hunting Group qualification. 80 114

She is fiercely protective of Ye Ling and reacts especially strongly when enemies threaten him. Si Er's threat against Ye Ling caused her killing intent to erupt during their battle. 120 240
