Background / History
Cui Yajie is Zhu Lu’s roommate when they meet Dai Huabin at Shrek Academy. She chooses to follow Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin from Class Five to Class Nine rather than remain behind alone. After Zhu Lu moves into Dai Huabin’s dormitory, Cui Yajie moves in with Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao 12 29.
In the Freshman Assessment, Cui Yajie captains a team with Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao. Her calls help them defeat Huang Chutian and the Lan sisters, placing their team among the assessment’s top four. Dai Huabin praises her command but warns that her Charm can cause spiritual backlash against an opponent with stronger spiritual power 41 42 43.
Cui Yajie later scores 120 points against a thousand-year Wind Blade Demon Wolf in the class promotion assessment. She also competes with Shrek’s Reserve Team, using mental interference to create openings for her teammates 110 156 200 202. When Dai Huabin leaves for the Mingdou Mountain Range, she asks to accompany him, but he refuses because of the danger and her current cultivation level 300.
Appearance
Her Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul gives her a naturally alluring bearing 11 79.
- Long pink hair, later described as red 11 281.
- Fox-like eyes and a smile frequently noted by her classmates 15 36.
- A faint glimmer appears at the tips of her hair when her Martial Soul aura briefly spills out after a breakthrough 58.
Personality
Cui Yajie is sociable and teasing, particularly with Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin, but becomes focused when directing a fight 12 15 41 106. She readily acknowledges useful guidance: after Dai Huabin explains the risks of Charm, she resolves to assess an opponent’s spiritual power before using it 43.
She eventually speaks openly with Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao about their feelings for Dai Huabin. Rather than treating one another as rivals, she proposes that the three cooperate, forming a “Sisters Alliance” 240 241.
Abilities & Skills
Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul
Cui Yajie’s Martial Soul specializes in spiritual control and interference rather than direct destructive power 31 119.
- First Soul Skill — Charm: Briefly disrupts a target’s mind. It stops Huang Chutian despite his higher soul power, though its hold on a thousand-year Wind Blade Demon Wolf lasts only about half a second 41 110.
- Charm limitation: It can fail and cause debilitating spiritual backlash if the target’s spiritual power exceeds hers 43.
- Second Soul Skill — Fox Tail Needle: Fires fine needles of soul power. She aims them at a wolf’s eye during her assessment and at opponents’ limbs to disrupt Martial Soul Possession 110 142.
- Third Soul Skill — Dream-Clearing Soul-Eroding: Sends a mental wave that delays Yao Haoxuan’s soul skill activation, creating an opening for Wang Dong'er 156.
Tang Sect Techniques
- Purple Demon Eye: Strengthens her spiritual power and perception; she uses it to read the paths of incoming wind blades and enhance her mental interference 35 110 142.
- Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track: Improves her positioning and evasion, helping her pass between the Wind Blade Demon Wolf’s attacks 110.
Tactical Command
- Predicts opponents’ movements and assigns teammates clear roles; against Huang Chutian’s team, she directs Xiao Xiao to protect Wang Dong'er while she occupies Huang Chutian 41 42.
- Favors brief control openings followed by precise attacks or a teammate’s finishing blow 110 142 156.
Items
- Soul Ascension Pill — helps her break through from level 25 to level 26 58.
- Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus — a gift from Dai Huabin that helps her reach level 30 108.
Relationships
- Zhu Lu — her first roommate at Shrek and a close friend; Cui Yajie transfers classes with her, and Zhu Lu checks her for injuries after an assessment match 12 43.
- Dai Huabin — class monitor and tactical mentor who helps her cultivation and combat development. Cui Yajie later admits her feelings for him to Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao 31 43 108 240.
- Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao — roommates and regular teammates; the three later form the Sisters Alliance 29 41 241.
