Background

Zhou Tongtong is the daughter of Xia Qing and Zhou Xian. Her father was a Beast Hunter who died during an expedition, leaving Xia Qing deeply concerned when Tongtong later awakened her spirituality 62 545.

After moving to Ping'an Garden Residential Area, Tongtong began understanding and communicating with two stray cats, Little White and Little Black. She did not initially realize that this was an unusual ability 542.

She starts elementary school with enthusiasm, viewing school as a place to learn and make friends. She later attends Rongxi Primary School, where she befriends Wang Duoduo and wins the 100-meter dash at the school sports meet 249 1036.

Appearance

Zhou Tongtong is a petite young girl with large, dark eyes and a notably cute appearance. She is often seen in a school uniform or colorful dresses, with her hair styled in a ponytail, bun, or pigtails 396 427 541.

• Her eyes emit faint golden spiritual light when her emotions or psionic energy surge 301 721.
• She commonly carries a cartoon backpack to school 541.
• She was six years old when Lin Li discovered her spiritual awakening 541.

Personality

Tongtong is polite, affectionate, and considerate. She thanks adults for their help, worries about the safety of Little White and Little Black, and shares treats with both the cats and her mother 396 542 618.

She is curious about the world of cultivators but evaluates it through a childlike perspective, asking whether cultivation can help her earn perfect exam scores. Her enthusiasm for cultivation initially rises and falls according to whether it seems fun or makes Xia Qing proud 541 542 544.

Although easily excited, Tongtong learns to restrain her emotions when her spiritual light appears. She takes secrecy seriously, especially after being told not to expose her own awakening or the cats' identities as exotic beasts 721 1053 1328.

Abilities & Skills

Animal Communication

Tongtong can understand and converse with Little White and Little Black. This ability manifested before she became a formal cultivator, making her an exception to the usual order of awakening an ability after cultivation begins 541 542.

• Her interactions extend beyond the two cats: she has communicated with butterflies and addressed a swarm of bees, which gathered and appeared to listen to her 495 675.
• Birds are unusually drawn to her; pigeons descend to rub against her legs, and she shows a similar affinity toward crows and other animals 739 1154.
• Her psionic energy has also affected other animals, including a pet dog 986.
• The exact nature and full scope of this ability remain unknown to Lin Li 541 639.

Psionic Energy Manipulation

Before her breakthrough, Tongtong’s emotions could trigger uncontrolled psionic energy fluctuations and faint golden light in her eyes 721 754.

• She used psionic energy to drive away bees that were chasing Little White and Little Black, though the effort left her tired 488.
• After reaching the First-Order Initial Stage, she can consciously manifest pale-gold spiritual light and shape its size around her hands and fingertips 1584.
• She practices in private to improve her control, eventually sustaining a fist-sized ball of spiritual energy in her palm 1630.
• Emotional excitement remains a risk for exposing her spiritual light, requiring deliberate self-control 721 1328.

Cultivation Resonance

Tongtong’s spiritual energy has an unusual nurturing effect on Little White and Little Black.

• Energy flowing from her fingertips activates the cats’ psionic energy and accelerates their progress toward cultivation 541 542.
• While cultivating alongside the cats, she can unintentionally draw surrounding free-floating psionic energy into a shared cultivation atmosphere 572 1536.
• Before her breakthrough, this phenomenon allowed the cats to absorb converging energy even though Tongtong herself could not yet freely control her own spiritual energy 1536.

Relationships

• Xia Qing — Her mother. Xia Qing is loving and protective, but fears the dangers of Tongtong becoming a cultivator because Tongtong’s father died on a Beast Hunter expedition 545 1590.
• Zhou Xian — Her deceased father; a Beast Hunter and Xia Qing’s husband 62 545.
• Lin Li — Her next-door neighbor, trusted protector, and cultivation mentor. He discovers her awakening, explains cultivation to her, helps protect her secret, and guides her spiritual-energy control 396 541 597.
• Little White Cat — One of her closest companions. Tongtong can understand it, assists its cultivation, and relies on its advice and warnings 541 543 1088.
• Little Black Cat — One of her closest companions. Tongtong supports it after its breakthrough and disciplines it when it bullies Little White 543 544.
• Wang Duoduo — Her school friend and classmate; they exchange gifts and support one another during the sports meet 418 1033.
• Su Yue — Her teacher, who shows concern for Tongtong’s safety and treats the two cats kindly 656 740.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Awakening and the Stray Cats

Tongtong’s bond with Little White and Little Black becomes the first visible sign of her unusual spirituality. She protects them from bees with psionic energy and consistently prioritizes their safety over her own comfort 488 490.

Lin Li later discovers that Tongtong and the cats have awakened their spirituality. He reveals that she is close to becoming a cultivator and learns that she has always been able to understand the cats 541.

Keeping the Secret

After learning that the Ability Management Bureau could take the cats away if their status as exotic beasts is exposed, Tongtong agrees to keep their secret. Xia Qing and Lin Li also decide not to reveal Tongtong’s spiritual awakening to others 543 545 546.

Tongtong gradually learns to conceal the golden light in her eyes and to avoid revealing her abilities in public, even when questioned after dangerous incidents 721 754 1053.

Cultivation Breakthrough

Despite being near the First-Order Initial Stage for a long time, Tongtong cannot break through even with Lin Li’s Spirit Fruits. Her energy instead continues to develop in unusual ways around the two cats 543 572.

While singing in a park, Tongtong finally breaks through naturally to the First-Order Initial Stage. She immediately gains conscious control of her spiritual energy and later secretly tells Lin Li the news 1584 1594.
