Background

Shen Liyue initially presents herself as Lu Ying's attentive homeroom teacher. She informs Lu Xuan that Lu Ying has reached 900 vitality, advises him to supply spiritual items and low-level monster meat before the High Martial Arts Assessment, and identifies Earth Dragon Essence Blood as a possible treatment for his comatose parents. 1

Her concern for Lu Ying conceals her Holy Cult allegiance. Alongside Jiang Xi, Shen Liyue plans to recruit Lu Ying by using Lu Xuan as leverage, intending to avoid damaging Lu Ying's martial foundation. 22

In the future timeline described by Lu Xuan's fourth email, Shen Liyue becomes suspicious of his repeated wilderness returns, arranges a Holy Cult member to test and kill him, and later defeats him even after his breakthrough to Qi and Blood Martial Master. 25

Appearance

Shen Liyue is a beautiful woman estimated by Lu Xuan to be around thirty years old. 36 57

• Full lips. 1
• Maintains an outwardly calm, composed demeanor. 37
• After her capture, her limbs are severed; she is later seen without hands or feet. 145 189

Personality

Shen Liyue can appear responsible and considerate as an educator, particularly when discussing Lu Ying's cultivation prospects. Her actions as a Holy Cult operative, however, reveal her to be calculating and coercive: she is willing to exploit Lu Xuan to force Lu Ying into the organization. 1 22

She is cautious when Holy Cult schemes risk exposing her to Federation scrutiny, yet remains deeply vindictive toward students she believes have harmed the Cult. 37 41 While maintaining a flirtatious and controlled facade around her undercover partner, her racing heartbeat betrays nervousness and attraction that Lu Xuan detects with Mental Power. 37

After learning that Lu Xuan survived, Shen Liyue becomes increasingly fixated on killing him. Her composure collapses into fear when her spatial ability fails to save her from him. 138 189

Abilities & Skills

Qi and Blood Martial Master Cultivation

Shen Liyue possesses concealed Martial Master-level strength and was stronger than Lu Xuan in the future timeline even after he became a Qi and Blood Martial Master. 25

• Reached at least the Two-Dragon Qi and Blood Martial Master realm. 83
• Later participates in an anti–Lu Xuan plot as a Three-Dragon Martial Master. 138
• Her Holy Cult token prevents Lu Xuan and Shen Liyue from directly probing each other's strength while they are undercover. 37

Spatial Divine Ability

Shen Liyue possesses a hidden spatial Martial Arts Divine Ability, allowing her to perform spatial jumps. Lu Xuan considers it lethal enough that it could have instantly killed him without his psychic power. 90

• Uses spatial jumps in an attempt to escape Lu Xuan. 189
• Believes her ability is particularly effective against Lu Xuan and cites it as part of her confidence in the plan to kill him. 138
• Can be restrained by Wang Dongyun's Energy Isolation, which disconnects her from space and prevents activation. 145

Relationships

• Lu Ying — Homeroom teacher who initially guides her cultivation, then secretly targets her for Holy Cult recruitment and coercion. Lu Ying later captures and imprisons her. 1 22 145
• Lu Xuan — Initially unaware that her assigned undercover “husband,” Xuan Lu, is Lu Xuan in disguise. Their partnership deteriorates into a mutual attempt to eliminate the other. 36 87 189
• Xuan Xiaoxiao — Assigned as Shen Liyue's fake daughter during the Jiangnan Martial University infiltration; calls her “Mom.” 36 41
• Jiang Xi — Holy Cult co-conspirator in the plan to recruit Lu Ying through threats against Lu Xuan. 22
• Principal Long — Gives Shen Liyue and Xuan Xiaoxiao instructions connected to the citywide tournament and Holy Cult recruitment efforts. 41 56

Story Role

Jiangnan Martial University Infiltration

The Holy Cult assigns Shen Liyue to pose as the wife of “Xuan Lu,” Lu Xuan's disguised identity, with Xuan Xiaoxiao acting as their daughter. Their cover establishes them as members of an Imperial Capital Long Family offshoot, allowing them to enter Jiangnan Martial University. 36 37 38

Shen Liyue helps maintain the married-couple facade while relaying Holy Cult intelligence and recruitment plans. She is also disturbed by Principal Long's proposal to have tournament geniuses assassinated, recognizing that Federation attention could make her a disposable scapegoat. 37 41 56

Conflict with Lu Xuan

After the Holy Cult hideout is exposed, Shen Liyue develops a grudge against Lu Xuan and becomes a lingering threat to his family. Lu Xuan eventually resolves to eliminate her rather than leave an enemy capable of targeting them. 83 87

She later joins a plan with other Martial Masters to surround and kill Lu Xuan, relying on her spatial ability and the support of additional factions seeking his death. 138

Capture and Imprisonment

Following Lu Xuan's apparent death at the Radiation Mountains, Shen Liyue confronts Lu Ying and assumes her former student's brother is truly dead. Lu Ying reveals that Great Wilderness City was intended to expose hidden enemies, then has Wang Dongyun suppress Shen Liyue's spatial ability before ordering her dismemberment and imprisonment. 145

While captive, Shen Liyue recognizes the Tyrant as the still-living Lu Xuan after seeing his body regenerate. 162 Lu Xuan later finds her during the attack on Great Wilderness City; she unsuccessfully attempts repeated spatial jumps and pleads for her life by invoking their former cover marriage. 189
