Background

Lin Jin was a transmigrator whose soul originated in another world. Reborn as an orphaned child in a village, he came to regard his new parents and younger sister, Lin Xue, as his family and swore to protect them. 1

On the day of the village martial-soul awakening, an evil soul master massacred the villagers and killed Lin Jin's parents. When the attacker threatened Lin Xue, Lin Jin awakened the Immortal Demon Armor and killed him with a demon blade. Lin Xue survived but was contaminated by life-eroding evil soul power. 1

Knowing that Qian Renxue's Angel Divine Power could cleanse Lin Xue's affliction, Lin Jin sought her out. In return for saving and protecting Lin Xue, he agreed to serve Qian Renxue and was sent under a false noble identity to the Northern Border's Vanguard Camp. 3

Personality
