Background

Chen Xingyue was the more accomplished martial artist in the Chen household during her early teens. While still in her first year of high school, she received recommended admission to the Capital Martial Arts Academy, leaving her brother Chen Shouyi to work toward martial arts admission on his own. 2 128

Her first formal assessment established her as a capable Martial Apprentice. She passed every physical event, including a 10.11-second 100-meter sprint, a 155-kilogram bench press, and a 265-kilogram squat, then cleared both archery tests. In the final Cold Weapon Combat test, she used prepared movement patterns, evasion, and the robot's blind spot to disable it with a wooden sword. 11 12

Chen Xingyue initially struggled to reconcile Chen Shouyi's former mediocrity with his sudden martial development. His movements, footwork, and refined muscles forced her to reconsider how well she knew him; he subsequently shared his optimized method of Entering Tranquility to Refine the Self with her. 6 11 12

After surviving an incident that killed her friends, she became notably colder and more determined. The danger surrounding the family forced the Chens to leave Dongning City, and Chen Xingyue stood with her brother in preparing to confront the threat. 56

Chen Shouyi later gave her Divine Blood, which she eagerly consumed in a larger dose than their parents. The enhancement greatly accelerated her physical development and fed her ambition to become a recognized Martial Artist. 164 201

By the time of Chen Shouyi's later martial arts events, Chen Xingyue had become dean of Zhonghai Second Martial Arts Academy. She took charge of preparations for an event expected to attract over 2.5 million attendees, directing academy executives amid the resulting logistical strain. 746

Appearance

Chen Xingyue is petite and athletic, with a lively presentation that contrasts with the tougher persona she tries to maintain. During her Martial Apprentice assessment, her low, rapid movements were compared to a charging Spirit Cat. 12

• Often wears her hair in a ponytail. 289
• Has been seen in a white T-shirt and dark blue athletic shorts. 289
• Later adopted a more mature, professional appearance with business attire and plain glasses. 744

Personality

Chen Xingyue is competitive, proud, and highly driven by martial arts progress. She took pride in her own early admission and assessment results, but Chen Shouyi's rapid rise increasingly became a source of rivalry and frustration. Even when discouraged by the gap between them, she continued training and insisted that she still had time to surpass expectations. 2 207 260

She is sharp-tongued and frequently bickers with Chen Shouyi, yet she is protective of him in front of others. She defended his diligence and character to Song Tingting, attempted to help him form a connection with her, and openly takes pride in his accomplishments. 128 464

Despite presenting herself as bold, Chen Xingyue fears ghosts and spirits. She was frightened by the family’s ghost encounter and later asked Chen Shouyi not to accompany her class to a crematorium, wanting to preserve her tough image before her classmates. 41 266
