Background

Shen Liuyu is the daughter of Shen Junhe, whose Martial Soul is the Ice Crocodile, and Qin Yi, whose Martial Soul is an ordinary water-tinged spear. Her exceptional talent contrasts sharply with her parents’ more modest martial inheritances. 2

When Shen Hanyu returns home after his early travels, Liuyu has already awakened a beneficially mutated Enamel Crocodile Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power Level 9. Their parents entrust her future cultivation to Hanyu, who promises to help her become exceptional. 6

After breaking through to Soul Master, Liuyu enrolls at the all-female Skywater Academy. At age nine, she has reached Level 19 and befriends Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er. 7 26

Appearance

Before her Martial Soul evolution, Liuyu has short light-blue hair, blue eyes, and a lively, youthful appearance. 26 36

Following the Evil God Bloodline transformation, her appearance changes drastically:

• Black-gray hair extending to her waist.
• An exquisitely delicate face with a colder, sharper bearing.
• Deep blackish-purple eyes.
• Black-gray scales that spread across her body when she summons her Martial Soul.
• Blackish-purple lightning flickering between the scales. 184

Personality

Liuyu is intensely attached to Shen Hanyu and openly relies on him. She trusts his judgment, enjoys being indulged, and measures potential partners against him to an unreasonable degree. 7 52 229

She is mischievous, curious, and fond of teasing others—particularly Shui Bing’er, Shui Yue’er, and Dugu Yan. She enjoys gossip, repeatedly presses Shen Hanyu about finding a sister-in-law, and exploits information for playful leverage. 36 37 229

Her early cultivation is inconsistent because she assumes Shen Hanyu will provide whatever she needs. After being confronted about her complacency, she applies herself more seriously, though she never loses her preference for letting others handle complicated matters. 40 53 84

In combat, Liuyu is direct, aggressive, and confident in overwhelming opponents through force. She tends to see problems as things that can be solved with her fists. 177 241

Abilities & Skills

Enamel Crocodile Martial Soul

Liuyu’s original Martial Soul is a beneficial mutation of Shen Junhe’s Ice Crocodile. It is a top-tier Beast Martial Soul with water and earth attributes. 40 84

• Its affinity with earth is strengthened by the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which removes bloodline impurities and was expected to elevate the Martial Soul toward a Crocodile King level. 27
• Her physical strength becomes sufficient to crush an ordinary Soul Emperor even before she reaches the Titled Douluo realm. 216
• Mother’s Embrace allows her to break restraints such as Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass through brute force. 174

Evil God Bloodline Evolution

Shen Hanyu uses the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s power, Evil God blood, life energy, and an unknown life-energy-rich metal to remake Liuyu’s bloodline. 180 184

• Her Martial Soul evolves into an unnamed Super Martial Soul with the Extreme Evil attribute and several additional elemental attributes. 184 294
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s bloodline and Soul Skills are preserved within her evolved Martial Soul. 184

Soul Ring Configuration

At the Soul Sage stage, Liuyu’s Soul Rings are yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, and red. Her seventh ring comes from the Titan Giant Ape. 231

• Her seventh Soul Ring grants her strength stated to be comparable to an ordinary Rank 91–92 Titled Douluo. 243
• Her eighth ring is a Fierce Beast Soul Ring, allowing her to enter the Soul Douluo realm with abnormal combat power. 309
• Her ninth ring comes from the Evil Emperor, whose sacrifice raises her to Titled Douluo and grants immense Mental Power. 348 349

Mental Power and Divine Trials

Liuyu possesses both the Dark God Trial and Sea God Trial protections. Her divine trials provide significant protection within her Sea of Consciousness. 329 349

• Her External Soul Bone of the brain enhances all attributes and nearly doubles her Mental Power. 349
• She completes the Sea God’s Eighth Trial after becoming a Super Douluo. 349

Combat Prowess

Liuyu specializes in forceful close-quarters combat and intimidation.

• She dominates the Royal Fight Team, overpowering Dugu Yan, Yu Feng, and the Shi Mo brothers. 177
• As a Soul Sage, she suppresses Dugu Yan’s Serpent Emperor Martial Soul and defeats her with overwhelming ease. 243
• She easily defeats Mad Bull Douluo during the group’s journey through Mingxia City. 333
• She subdues an Evil Eye alone by physically dragging its tentacle out of spatial concealment. 347

• Ice Horned Rhinoceros right leg bone — A Soul Bone more than 30,000 years old, chosen over a 10,000-year Wolf Bandit bone. 27
• True Dragon-level Ice Dragon torso bone — A 600,000-year Soul Bone gifted by Shen Hanyu. 128

• Titan Giant Ape left arm bone — Obtained alongside her red seventh Soul Ring. 231
• Evil Emperor External Soul Bone of the brain — Enhances her attributes and Mental Power after the Evil Emperor’s sacrifice. 349

Relationships

• Shen Hanyu — Her biological older brother, primary guardian, mentor, and provider of nearly all her major cultivation opportunities. Liuyu is deeply attached to him and frequently depends on his protection. 6 52 309
• Qin Yi and Shen Junhe — Her parents. Liuyu remains close to Qin Yi and shares the family’s relaxed attitude toward cultivation. 2 120 212

• Ye Lingling — A friend whose bloodline unexpectedly resonates with Liuyu’s Evil God Bloodline. 233
• Electrolux — Teaches Liuyu a necromancy spell so she can create a dragon puppet mount for her future nephew or niece. 388
