Background / History

Ai Chen is a direct descendant of the Mengluoyi Race's Seventh Elder and is highly regarded by her clan ancestor, Blood Wing King. Her talent in the Laws of Light and Time places her above many disciples cultivated in the Xuanyi Secret Realm. 53 58

She first meets Luo Zhiyuan in the Suonsai Secret Realm while concealed by her Light Imperial Technique. Intrigued that he can detect her without a detector and recognizes the laws behind her technique, she challenges him to spar in exchange for six Radiance Stones. 48

Their first Battle Space duel establishes a long-running rivalry. Ai Chen counters Luo Zhiyuan's Godly Evasion with her Light Domain and pushes through his Lightning Shuttle attacks using a defensive-offensive secret technique and her full law comprehension. She is ultimately defeated when Luo Zhiyuan manifests ten Time Flow figures, but the battle gives her a new understanding of the Law of Time. 49 50

During the Genius Tournament, Ai Chen fights her way into the top ten and repeatedly challenges Luo Zhiyuan. She reveals the Flowing Light Nine Variations and begins integrating her wings into her offense, nearly catching him off guard. 72 75

After arriving in Chaos City, Ai Chen chooses the Zhouguang Chaos Stele, which suits her path as a Time Law-oriented martial artist. Pressure from trying to catch Luo Zhiyuan initially makes her withdraw from their usual sparring, but Blood Wing King urges her to cultivate according to her own path rather than chase him blindly. 91 105

Ai Chen and Luo Zhiyuan later confess their feelings at the Primal Heavenly Mountain dimension. With her state of mind restored, she progresses rapidly and their relationship becomes publicly known among their peers. 128 129

She secretly travels to Xueluo World hoping to surprise Luo Zhiyuan and obtain Xueluo Crystals. A Temple Special Envoy captures her, but she contacts Luo Zhiyuan and survives long enough for him to intercept the escort. During the rescue, she kills a Domain Lord Level 5 envoy despite sustaining injuries. 174 176 183 184

Appearance

Ai Chen is a tall, heroic-looking young woman whose usual appearance combines noble features with the distinctive traits of the Mengluoyi Race. 48

• White feather-style battle dress.
• Neat short hair and large eyes.
• A transparent, faintly glowing crystal embedded in the center of her forehead.
• Folded white wings, which she can use as weapons in battle.
• Often carries a silver-gray or white longsword. 48 75
• Alters her appearance for Xueluo World, removing the forehead crystal and changing her wings to resemble those of a local race. 174

Personality

Ai Chen is proud, competitive, and intensely self-respecting. She refuses to accept an opponent holding back against her, insisting that Luo Zhiyuan use his full strength so she can understand the gap between them. 49

Her confidence is paired with determination rather than complacency. Witnessing Luo Zhiyuan's growth repeatedly motivates her to train harder, though Blood Wing King must remind her not to lose herself in the effort to catch up. 69 91 114

Despite her straightforward and sometimes impulsive approach to battle, Ai Chen is compassionate. While travelling through Xueluo World, she takes coins from bandits for local currency and quietly gives the surplus to impoverished natives, unknowingly gaining a reputation for kindness. 175

She is also deeply devoted to cultivation and independence. Even after Luo Zhiyuan rescues her, she chooses to continue her own training journey rather than remain at his side. 184 187

• Can produce temporal interference that disrupts opponents' control over telekinetic weapons. 49

• Helps her distinguish Luo Zhiyuan's true body from his light-based phantoms.

• Can shatter into offensive fragments after blocking an attack.

• Xueluo Crystals — Luo Zhiyuan gives her several after his Xueluo World expedition. 195

• Blood Wing King — Clan ancestor who advises her to follow her own cultivation path and introduces her to Chaos City and its Chaos Steles. 91
• Seventh Elder — Her direct ancestor within the Mengluoyi Race; monitors her growth on Blood Wing King's orders. 53
