Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy Entrance Examination

Qin He first meets Lu Lin after noticing the three recommendation letters Lu Lin presents during registration. He introduces himself as a Level 26 Soul Master, encourages Lu Lin not to be intimidated by Dai Xichen's Level 28, and guides him through the examination process. 24

During testing, Qin He reveals Innate Soul Power Level 9.5 and the Taotie Xuanwen Pill Martial Soul. He is admitted to the Inner Court, though he is placed in the same class as Lu Lin and Dai Xichen. 25

Class-Leader Selection

When his match begins, Qin He immediately concedes to his opponent after seeing that direct surrender is permitted. He later advises Lu Lin to do the same if necessary, unaware that Lu Lin has prepared the self-created Buddha Fury Red Lotus. 26

Qin He's surrender earns him a ten-lap punishment alongside Ruan Yi. Lu Lin gives them a stamina-saving tip, and Qin He becomes grateful to him. Qin He is subsequently selected as a class monitor candidate. 27

Lu Lin's Return to Shrek

Qin He waits at the academy entrance when Lu Lin is absent for nearly a month obtaining soul rings, fearing that something may have happened. 37 He is stunned when Lu Lin returns at Level 26 with an evolved Martial Soul, a thousand-year second ring, and Innate Full Soul Power. 38

Unable to accept Lu Lin's transformation at first, Qin He pinches Lu Lin's arm to confirm he is real rather than a dream. 39

Xu Yaoyao and Xiao Lingchen

Qin He identifies Xu Yaoyao for Lu Lin in the cafeteria and tactfully moves away when she approaches Lu Lin's table. 40 He later supplies Lu Lin with information about Xiao Lingchen—Xu Yaoyao's pursuer—and waits anxiously outside the Mimic Forest while Xiao Lingchen awaits Lu Lin in the Soul Fighting Arena. 42 43
