Background / History

Spirit Hall rescued Hu Liena when she was at her most helpless and gave her a home. Her attachment to the institution is deeply personal: the possibility of losing her position to Gu Yi frightens her because she associates Spirit Hall with belonging and security 89.

As Bibi Dong’s student and Spirit Hall’s youngest Soul Ancestor record holder, she belongs to the Golden Generation alongside her elder brother Xie Yue and Yan. Gu Yi and Zhu Zhuqing’s arrival challenges her standing, as both are already Soul Ancestors at twelve or thirteen 70 72 98.

Appearance

• Hair: Glossy black hair 70.
• Build: Described on her introduction as having an almost perfect figure 70.
• Skin: Snow-white 160.
• Martial soul manifestation: Displays a fox tail when using her offensive soul skills 125.

Personality

Hu Liena is proud, competitive, and sensitive about being surpassed. She secretly observes Gu Yi’s routine for a year, hoping to discover the reason for his extraordinary cultivation speed. His sudden rise to Soul Saint leaves her despondent, while his acknowledgment that she remains a potential opponent restores her confidence 97 111 116.

Her curiosity can override caution. During the hunt for her next soul ring, she follows the disturbance caused by Gu Yi despite his instructions and Zhu Zhuqing’s warning. This decision ends with her suffering a nearly fatal snakebite 76.

She takes debts of gratitude seriously. After Gu Yi saves her, she offers him help whenever he needs it rather than treating the rescue as something she can simply forget. Her loyalty to Spirit Hall also sets a boundary on her tolerance of his secrecy: she accepts that he will not explain his plans, provided they do not harm the institution 81 132.

In Slaughter City, she refuses to be reduced to someone who needs protection. Although initially shaken by the killing, she pushes herself through repeated battles and exhaustion to keep pace with Gu Yi. Her wish to support him persists even after their trial ends 160 161 164 165.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Spirit Hall Admission and Soul-Ring Hunt

Hu Liena handles Gu Yi and Zhu Zhuqing’s admission assessment. Their Soul Power already qualifies them to enroll, but she additionally arranges a battle against two thousand-year soul beasts to test their combat ability. After their swift victory, she completes their enrollment and accommodation arrangements 70 71 72.

During the hunt for her next soul ring, she trusts Gu Yi’s promise to locate a suitable beast but later follows the disturbance he creates. A venomous snake bites her, leaving Gui Mei unable to arrange treatment in time. Gu Yi intervenes with medicinal blood and a plan to remove the remaining poisoned blood; she later acknowledges owing him her life 74 76 77 81.

Rivalry and the Soul Master Competition

Bibi Dong offers Gu Yi another opportunity to become Holy Son if he outperforms Hu Liena in the competition. Hu Liena interprets this as a threat to her place in Spirit Hall and vows not to lose 88 89.

A year later, Bibi Dong appoints her team captain on Gu Yi’s recommendation. Hu Liena subsequently travels to Heaven Dou City to observe the preliminary rounds, defends Gu Yi’s actions before the city guards, and helps Spirit Hall respond to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin’s arrival 97 98 112 113.

Sunset Forest Rescue

While independently investigating Sunset Forest, Hu Liena reaches a mountain surrounded by poisonous mist and becomes caught in a Seven-Colored Toad swarm’s attacks. A blast throws her into a tree, driving a branch through her calf 124 125.

Ning Rongrong’s group tries to escape the same swarm. At Rongrong’s order to get rid of Hu Liena, a steward strikes her other leg with a crystal sword, leaving her unable to stand. Gu Yi arrives before a toad can kill her and takes her to Ye Lingling for healing 126.

She awakens in Gu Yi’s dormitory, where he has prepared food and water. Grateful for the rescue, she also makes clear that she knows who attacked her and intends to take revenge 127.

Slaughter City and Hell Road

Hu Liena enters Slaughter City with Gu Yi for Bibi Dong’s trial. Initially overwhelmed by its violence, she insists that they alternate arena participation rather than allowing his progress to leave her behind 156 158 160 161.

Over a month, one fights while the other guards against ambushes. Hu Liena earns the name Hell Envoy, reaches one hundred consecutive victories, and enters Hell Road with Gu Yi. He eventually finds the exit and takes her through it, completing their acquisition of Divine Slaughter’s Domain 161 162 164 165.

When Gu Yi prepares to infiltrate Slaughter City again, she insists on helping. He assigns her to wait at the entrance and assist his departure. Afterward, his willingness to explain the Asura Blood Sword’s purpose reassures her that he considers her someone he can trust 165 167.
