Background

Zhuge Yu is a direct descendant and one of the most outstanding members of the Zhuge Family’s younger generation. The family is a Gold Family with major political influence: its patriarch, Zhuge Jin, serves as Chief President of the Imperial Senate. 55 470

Before entering the Imperial Royal Military Academy, Zhuge Yu accompanied Dongfang Haoyue in Sunset City and was tasked with investigating Qin Tian after Haoyue recognized Qin’s potential. Even the Zhuge Family’s intelligence network failed to uncover Qin Tian’s background. 55 397

Appearance

Zhuge Yu is a refined young man with a perpetually relaxed, half-awake demeanor. He commonly carries a fan or Array Disk, matching his image as a composed formation specialist.

Personality

Zhuge Yu is calm, calculating, and difficult to unsettle. Even when pursued by a stronger Seventh-Order Holy Blood opponent, he remains focused on terrain, timing, and escape routes rather than panicking. 487

He is confident in his divination and tactical judgment, but not arrogant about his personal limits. Zhuge Yu openly recognizes Qin Tian’s superiority in direct combat while identifying his own strengths in ancient knowledge, mechanisms, formations, and strategic planning. 470 510
