Background / History

Ji Ming is an Avatar Game character created through Lu Lin's reality-altering panel. Though supplied with a complete profile, memories, and an orphan background, he did not originally exist in the world. Lu Lin selected him for his connection to the Body Sect and logged into him as his first incarnation 1 2.

Body Sect elder Mo Yin discovered Ji Ming and brought him to the sect in the Heaven Dou Empire. There, Ji Ming displayed both Martial Souls before Sect Master Si Yuan Ye, who recognized his Innate Full Soul Power and exceptional potential before accepting him as a personal disciple 2.

Lu Lin later split his consciousness so that his main body and Ji Ming could operate simultaneously. The process inflicted severe, shared pain, but it allowed Ji Ming to cultivate independently while remaining controlled by the same consciousness as Lu Lin 3.

Si Yuan Ye subjected Ji Ming to the Body Sect's complete secret-method tempering far earlier than normal, then supported him with ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber. Ji Ming endured the process and achieved a Silver-level awakening of his Body Martial Soul, greatly strengthening his physique and future Soul Ring capacity 4 6.

After gaining his first two Soul Rings, Ji Ming was sent to Heaven Dou City for a trial: he could not return to the Body Sect until he earned a Silver Soul Master badge. Under the codename Yan Jun, he won fourteen consecutive cross-level duels and reached Silver tier in eleven days 18 23.

Appearance

Ji Ming is a tall, stern-looking youth whose seemingly slender frame conceals extraordinary physical power. Before reaching nine years old, he had already grown to over 1.7 meters tall 18.

• Often wears black clothing during field operations 30 31.
• His activated Dark Demon Dreadclaw Bear Martial Soul gives him sharp crimson-and-black eyes and a domineering, sinister aura 11.
• When Necromancer's Heavy Eyes is released, red vortexes form in his pupils and become vertical eyes that radiate deathly pressure 2.
• After absorbing Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, his eyes became markedly deeper and his normally stern face gained a trace of gentleness 36.
• Wore a wolf-shaped half-mask while competing as Yan Jun in the Great Soul Arena 18.

Personality

Ji Ming is outwardly calm, reserved, and difficult to read; Mo Yin initially viewed him as having a poker-faced demeanor. He maintains composure under danger, including while facing Soul Beasts and absorbing Soul Rings beyond his limits 3 10.

His actions are driven by the shared consciousness he possesses with Lu Lin. He is highly pragmatic and decisive, showing little sympathy toward enemies who threaten him or others under his protection 10 30.

He is also exceptionally determined. Si Yuan Ye valued Ji Ming's ability to endure the Body Sect's full secret-method tempering at age six as highly as his Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power 6.

Abilities & Skills

Dark Demon Dreadclaw Bear

Ji Ming's first Martial Soul is a variant of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. It lacks the original's Extreme Gold attribute, but is more primal, dark, bloodthirsty, and overbearing 2.

• Grants immense physical strength and an explosive physique despite Ji Ming's slender build 18.
• Its aura can overwhelm weaker beast-type Martial Souls and Soul Beasts 9 21.
• Forms the basis of his assault-oriented combat style 31.
• Enabled him to withstand Soul Rings far beyond standard limits when combined with Body Sect training and Whale Rubber 4 10 13.

Necromancer's Heavy Eyes

Ji Ming's second Martial Soul is a Body Martial Soul centered on his eyes. It possesses death and destruction attributes, with mental attributes as a secondary focus 2.

• Manifests as red, vertical pupils that emanate a pure death aura 2.
• Provides mental strength far beyond Soul Masters of comparable Soul Power 10.
• Allowed him to sense Si Yuan Ye and Nan Yunheng from roughly twenty miles away 18.
• Its appearance became less sinister after he absorbed Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew 36.

Body Sect Secret Arts

Si Yuan Ye personally trained Ji Ming with the Body Sect's secret method and the cultivation technique later named the Flawless Body Casting Art 4 5.

• Each circulation of the cultivation art strengthens physical power and Blood Essence 4.
• The secret method stimulated Ji Ming's latent potential and produced a Silver-level second awakening 5 6.
• Ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber further improved his bone structure and ability to bear high-age Soul Rings 4 6.
• The process is intensely painful and is normally not attempted by Body Sect disciples until after obtaining three Soul Rings 5 6.

Dark Demon Claw

Ji Ming's first Soul Skill, acquired from the 3,200-year Claw Bear, is an attack-type Soul Skill 10 11.

• Fires a dark red-and-black energy claw blade over dozens of meters 11.
• Leaves deep claw marks and lingering black smoke where it strikes 11.
• Was strong enough that Si Yuan Ye judged an ordinary Soul Grand Master would likely be killed or crippled by a direct hit 11.
• Defeated Blazing Wolf in a single strike and ended his duel against Demon Tiger after Mirage Thousand Illusions created an opening 18 21.

Mirage Thousand Illusions

A Battle Skill used by Ji Ming during his cross-level duel against Demon Tiger 21.

• Creates illusions that disorient an opponent 21.
• Allowed Ji Ming to bypass Demon Tiger's transformed defenses and strike with Dark Demon Claw 21.

Dark Demon Nether Transformation

Ji Ming's third Soul Skill came from a ten-thousand-year Ghost Face Fiend Cat 31.

• Greatly amplifies both attack and defense 31.
• Its effect is compared to Demon Tiger's transformation-type Soul Skill, but is described as substantially more powerful 31.

Combat Limitation

Ji Ming and Lu Lin discovered that their Martial Soul abilities cannot be used simultaneously across their shared consciousness, restricting the combined use of their techniques 33.

Equipment / Items

• Dagger — used to deliver the killing blow to the Claw Bear whose Soul Ring became Ji Ming's first ring 10.
• Wolf-shaped half-mask — worn under the Yan Jun identity at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena 18.
• Iron Soul Master badge — received upon registering at the arena before advancing to Silver tier 18 23.

Relationships

• Lu Lin — Ji Ming is Lu Lin's first avatar and shares his soul and consciousness; their first in-person meeting was awkward because they are effectively one person in two bodies 1 3 31.
• Si Yuan Ye — master and disciple. Si Yuan Ye accepted Ji Ming because of his extraordinary talent, personally tempered his body, and set his arena trial 2 5 18.
• Mo Yin — Body Sect elder who found and brought Ji Ming to the sect. He is protective of Ji Ming, proud of his achievements, and escorted him during his second-ring hunt and arena trial 2 5 18.
• Nan Yunheng — senior sister within the Body Sect. She accompanied Ji Ming to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and noticed the unusual connection between him and Lu Lin 34 36.
• Dark Gold Bear — a defeated Soul Beast Ji Ming coerced into leading him and Si Yuan Ye toward a suitable Claw Bear target 10.
