History

Nine Heart Begonia lineage

Ye Lingling grew up in Ye Manor as the daughter of Ye Tianming and Ye Susu, alongside Long Chen, whom her parents adopted as her companion. The two were described as childhood sweethearts from an early age 1.

At six years old, she awakened the rare Nine Heart Begonia with innate level-eight soul power. Her awakening coincided with her grandmother's death: only two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters can exist at once, meaning a new inheritor can emerge only after another dies 1 2. Devastated, Ye Lingling blamed herself and initially refused to attend the academy, but Long Chen comforted her and promised to remain at her side 2.

The clan's inherited restriction severely limited its healers' prospects. Most Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters never exceed level seventy; even the clan's strongest recorded ancestor reached only level seventy-nine 3.

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy

The academy recruited Ye Lingling immediately because the Nine Heart Begonia's group healing was considered indispensable to team combat. She enrolled as a Tianhui Rank student and shared a dormitory with Dugu Yan 6.

After receiving her first soul ring, Ye Lingling developed into the Royal Fighting Team's irreplaceable healer. At level twenty-four, she was the team's youngest and lowest-ranked member, but still a main player due to the value of her support abilities 19.

Sacred Hearts Begonia evolution

Long Chen gave Ye Lingling the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid and Aromatic Silk Beauty, intending to alter the apparent curse of her lineage 41 42. After absorbing the herbs, her Nine Heart Begonia evolved into the golden Sacred Hearts Begonia 43.

The evolved martial soul greatly strengthened her healing and added soul-power restoration and cleansing of abnormal conditions such as poison and paralysis. The change was regarded as a defiance of the fate imposed on the Nine Heart Begonia lineage 43.

Appearance

Ye Lingling is a slender, graceful young woman with long, smooth hair and clear, large eyes. At the academy, she is seen wearing a light-blue school uniform 12 16.

• Her expressions are often quiet and demure, though she becomes visibly excited around Long Chen 16 33.
• Her evolved martial soul manifests as a large golden begonia flower rather than the original white-and-pink Nine Heart Begonia 54.
• The Sacred Hearts Begonia produces golden or golden-red healing light 81 122.

Personality

Ye Lingling is gentle, humble, and strongly compassionate. She instinctively wants to help wounded people, even when encountering unfamiliar and initially suspicious rebels in the mountains 122. After healing the academy's injured second team during the competition, she treated the act as simply the right thing to do rather than seeking recognition 55.

Her early grief over her grandmother's death left her vulnerable to self-blame, but she gradually becomes more confident through cultivation and Long Chen's encouragement 2 17. She places exceptional trust in Long Chen, remaining unafraid when fighting beside him against Martial Soul Hall Academy and relying on his presence during dangerous soul-ring absorptions 99 192.

Abilities & Skills

Sacred Hearts Begonia

The evolved form of Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia is a high-level healing martial soul whose support functions extend beyond physical recovery.

• Heals multiple allies at once over a wide area; it can treat exposed wounds and serious injuries such as fractures 20.
• Healing effectiveness rises with her own cultivation 20.
• Restores allies' soul power while healing them, provided Ye Lingling has sufficient soul power 43.
• Removes abnormal conditions, including poison and paralysis 43.
• Restored Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo, to roughly seventy percent of his strength, though it could not return him to peak condition 161.
• Her healing and restoration can heavily drain her own soul power; she collapsed after continuously supporting Long Chen against powerful opponents 133.

Martial Soul True Body

After absorbing her seventh soul ring from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Ye Lingling gained the ability to use her Martial Soul True Body.

• Enhances the Sacred Hearts Begonia's healing capability 192.
• Her seventh-ring absorption required two days and Long Chen's Mental Power assistance to stabilize the ring's violent energy 192.

Undying Golden Body

Ye Lingling and Long Chen possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Undying Golden Body.

• The pair can perform the fusion rapidly due to their close synchronization 139 159.
• Through their fusion, energy obtained by Long Chen's devouring can be shared with Ye Lingling 163 187.
• The skill enabled them to absorb residual energy from the Sky Azure Bull Python's corpse, raising Ye Lingling from level sixty-two to level sixty-three 163.

Soul Bone Skills

• Thunderous attack skill — A soul bone granted Ye Lingling an offensive technique with traces of thunder power, compensating for a support master's typical lack of attack options 206.
• Right Leg Soul Bone Skill — Releases sharp blades of light from her leg; she used them to cut the Deep Sea Poison Devouring Vine into segments 225.
• Deep Sea Poison Devouring Vine Head Bone — Raised her spiritual power and granted two skills after her eighth-ring absorption 225.
  • Stagnation Light — Paralyzes and restricts opponents.
  • Dilution Light — Weakens and disperses an opponent's soul power.

Relationships

• Long Chen — Adoptive brother and childhood companion; her closest partner in cultivation, battle, and Martial Soul Fusion 1 139.
• Ye Tianming — Father; arranged her academy admission, accompanied her soul-ring hunts, and took pride in her growth 6 43.
• Ye Susu — Mother and fellow Nine Heart Begonia inheritor; her own martial soul later evolved after taking an immortal herb 2 41.
• Dugu Yan — Dormmate, teammate, and sister-like friend; Dugu Yan pledged to protect Ye Lingling when she first entered the academy 6 7 129.
• Dugu Bo — Senior ally who accepts her restorative support and accompanies her group on dangerous hunts 161 189.
• Royal Fighting Team — Their essential rear-line healer; the team is instructed to protect her due to her weak offensive power 20.

Major Arcs

• Royal Fighting Team selection — Joined Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's main team as its sole vital healing support despite being its youngest member 19.
• Martial soul evolution — Consumed two immortal herbs, evolved into the Sacred Hearts Begonia, and obtained soul-power recovery and status-cleansing abilities 41 43.
• Soul Master Competition — Became a major focus after revealing her Soul King cultivation and ten-thousand-year ring while fully healing the academy's injured second team 54 55.
• Martial Soul Hall Academy battle — Fought alongside Long Chen as one of only two Heavenly Dou representatives, sustaining him against Xie Yue, Hu Liena, Yan, and their teammates 99 100 102.
• Mountain rebels — Healed injured Star Luo rebels and earned their trust alongside Long Chen 122.
• High-level soul-ring hunts — Acquired her seventh ring from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and her eighth, hundred-thousand-year ring from the Deep Sea Poison Devouring Vine 192 225.
