Background

Su Yue is the daughter of Cloud Creek City's City Lord. Before the academy assessment, she is regarded as a prominent candidate because of her Spirit Body and fast cultivation. She approaches Lin Xiao after his registration display, curious about the force behind his punch; alongside Shi Lei, she forms a three-person assessment team with him 6.

During the Myriad Beast Mountain Range assessment, Su Yue establishes herself as the team's agile swordfighter. She helps eliminate the Iron Claw Monkey pack, defeats Wang Chen while Lin Xiao faces Li Mo, and joins the hunt for the Second-order Swamp Giant Crocodile 7 8 9. When Xiao Lang attempts to pressure her into leaving Lin Xiao's team for the Heavenly Wolf Society, she refuses outright 10.

After the assessment, Su Yue arranges for Master Ouye to turn the crocodile hide into three Human-Tier High-Grade inner armors for herself, Lin Xiao, and Shi Lei 13 15. Though initially assigned to Heaven Class Three, she is later present with Lin Xiao and Shi Lei in Yellow Class Nine, where she accepts his leadership and endures the class's harsh reform training 14 21 24.

She becomes one of Yellow Class Nine's key leaders during its free-for-all training. Cornered by multiple classmates, Su Yue abandons pure defense and develops the decisive edge needed to awaken her sword heart 31 32. Following the Black Wind Mountain Range mission, she becomes part of the independent Rebel Mortal class and continues advancing under Lin Xiao's instruction 43 44.

Appearance

Su Yue is a refined young woman with bright eyes and an elegant yet lively manner. She first appears in a light-yellow dress; during the Rebel Mortal class's seclusion, she wears blue and carries herself with the focused presence of a sword cultivator 6 46.

• Light-yellow dress during her introduction at academy enrollment 6
• Bright eyes and a lively, graceful demeanor 6
• Uses a soft sword as her preferred weapon 7
• Later bears a faint silver sword-shaped mark on her forehead after awakening the Clear Sword Heart 46

Personality

Su Yue is curious, spirited, and direct. Her first exchange with Lin Xiao centers on her desire to understand his unusual punch, and she readily proposes joining him and Shi Lei for the entrance assessment 6.

She is cautious in dangerous situations and initially worries when Lin Xiao proposes taking risks against stronger opponents. However, she repeatedly chooses to trust him: she stands with the team against Xiao Lang, waits for Lin Xiao when he risks entering the Sky-Piercing Chasm, and follows his training without reservation 9 10 12 24.

Her compassion remains intact despite Yellow Class Nine's brutal transformation. After Wu Tianxiong's defeat, Su Yue asks Lin Xiao to spare the surviving Heavenly Martial Society members rather than continue the bloodshed. She also tends to Lin Xiao through the aftermath of his near-fatal injuries and oversees the confiscated spoils 41 42.
