Background / History

Shi Jingyi trained in Guiyun Martial Arts School for more than twenty years, beginning martial arts in childhood. As a teenager, she killed an old enemy who had challenged her gravely ill Master and continued provoking him after defeat, shattering the man’s heart meridian in anger. Her Master took responsibility for the death and entrusted the school to her. Shi later became its only remaining member after the apocalypse claimed its last known apprentice. 73 108 266

She first meets Guan Tong in an industrial-park warehouse while fighting Living Dead. Using Mind Power to reinforce her body and martial arts, she clears the remaining undead barehanded and later cooperates with him against the Mother Transformer. 72 74

Recognized for her unique application of Mind Power, Shi is invited to become a lead lecturer at the Mind Power Development Academy. Her Mind Power Circulation course combines acupoint memorization, energy circulation, and Guiyun martial arts; its demanding entry requirement is memorizing hundreds of acupoints. 76 80 128

After deducing that Guan Tong is Shadow, Shi keeps his identity confidential and provides him with private guidance in Mind Power Circulation. She later invites him to become her teaching assistant, offering a legitimate identity and private faculty accommodation during wartime status; he initially declines, but eventually covers her classes while she recovers from injuries sustained during the earthquake crisis. 98 108 109 219 222

Shi volunteers to protect Shadow during the Level 10 earthquake operation, judging that the mission’s success matters more than her own safety. She is injured in the disaster but survives after Guan Tong rescues her from the epicenter’s vortex. 210 214 219

Following her recovery, she returns to teaching and continues refining Mind Power Circulation. She develops Mind Martial Arts from her study of a qigong manual, later breaks through the 1000-point Mind Power Cap, and assists efforts against parasites through the restored Mind Network. 266 327 328 382 406

Abilities & Skills

Mind Power Circulation

Shi Jingyi’s signature discipline treats Mind Power as internal energy, circulating it through acupoints and across the body to strengthen physical performance.

• Reinforces her body, allowing her to fight Living Dead and the Mother Transformer in close combat without conventional weapons. 72 74
• Forms protective Mind Power shields and sustained full-body defenses. 210 245
• Can be applied offensively, defensively, to break restraints such as the Mind Lock, and to repair bodily damage. 207
• Her mastery is regarded as unmatched among the Academy’s lead lecturers. 128
• Requires patience, acupoint knowledge, and precise control; her course begins with memorizing hundreds of acupoints. 80

Mind Martial Arts

Shi combines Guiyun martial arts with highly refined Mind Power circulation, creating techniques that use Mind Power as combat energy rather than relying on artifacts.

• Developed from her study of a qigong manual and refined through sparring with Guan Tong. 327 328
• Her techniques can overwhelm conventional Mind Power defenses; one test strike shattered Guan Tong’s Shadow Armor and Mind Power shield. 328
• She generally relies on her own Mind Power and martial arts rather than purchasing or using Mind Power Artifacts. 423

Shocking Pulse Collapse

A fist technique that compresses Mind Power at the fist’s acupoint and releases it through resonance on impact.

• Produces a concentrated shockwave intended to disrupt the target’s bodily stability. 328
• Can strike multiple opponents with overwhelming force; in Xisiya, one punch sent more than a dozen agents flying. 385
• Demands extremely precise control; losing control can waste substantial Mind Power or injure the user. 328

Repelling Extreme Step

A movement technique that compresses and repels Mind Power between the feet and ground to generate explosive acceleration.

• Allows rapid movement in confined spaces and sudden close-range engagement. 328 416
• Speed can be adjusted through the amount of Mind Power released. 328
• Initially required further refinement due to difficult control. 328

Mind Power Perception and Condensation

Shi can sense Mind Power fluctuations over long distances, allowing her to locate opponents even in complete darkness.

• Tracks Guan Tong’s position and attacks within his Shadow Domain without relying on sight. 423
• Uses condensed pale blue-white Mind Power on her fists; the energy spreads through contact and can rapidly consume defensive constructs. 423
• Her perception and energy control exceed Guan Tong’s in close combat. 423

Mind Network

After her Mind Power Cap exceeds 1000, Shi discovers that the Mind Network automatically reactivates.

• Can communicate directly through the network. 382 406
• Potentially enables identification of parasites. 382
• Initially delays broad use of the Network due to the risk of exposing herself to parasite forces. 382 419

Relationships

• Guan Tong / Shadow — Close friend, sparring partner, and fellow Mind Power researcher. Shi deduces his identity as Shadow but keeps it secret, teaches him Mind Power Circulation, and repeatedly supports him in dangerous operations. 98 266 328 423
• Zhou Qinfeng — Dean of the Mind Power Development Academy. He values Shi as a core lecturer and unsuccessfully tries to dissuade her from joining Shadow’s earthquake-protection mission. 210 264
• Unnamed Guiyun Master — Her late Master. He accepted blame after Shi killed his longtime enemy and left the school in her care. 266
• Lu Cheng — Former student praised for his fast progress in Mind Power Circulation. After becoming a parasite, he is assigned to lure and eliminate Shi. 278 405 416
• Yelena Konia — Former Academy student of Guan Tong who deeply admires Shi. Shi assists her during the Xisiya political crisis. 384 385
• Academy students — Her students respect and protect her reputation, protesting when she volunteers for the near-suicidal earthquake operation. 210
