Background

Yun Ming is Ya Li's husband and Ling Luo's brother-in-law. As Ya Li's only living relative, Ling Luo was raised under the couple's care; because they have no children, Yun Ming and Ya Li treat him as their own and lavish him with familial affection. 1

As Sea God Pavilion Master and the continent's foremost Soul Master, Yun Ming personally guided six-year-old Ling Luo through his Martial Soul Awakening. He recognized the Life and Destruction energies surrounding Ling Luo as forces identical to those on Devil Island, then identified the two light spheres bound to Ling Luo as God Positions associated with the God of Life and God of Destruction. 1 2

Yun Ming chose to conceal Ling Luo's Twin God King Seeds while allowing his Twin Martial Souls and Innate Level 20 Soul Power to become known. He intended for Ling Luo to cultivate an invincible heart rather than grow up cautiously under concealment. 6

• Carries an imposing, sharply defined aura. 1
• Possesses a faintly smiling, handsome appearance when at ease. 3
• His spear intent can make even pinnacle Soul Master experts feel immense pressure. 150

Personality

Yun Ming is decisive in recognizing talent. After seeing Na'er's dragon-scale-covered spear Martial Soul, he immediately offered to accept her as his sole disciple. 3

As Pavilion Master, Yun Ming is patient toward internal problems until they endanger Shrek Academy or his family. When he learned that Ling Luo's metal-sublimation method had been leaked, he resolved to identify and eradicate the responsible traitors personally. 46 50
