Background / History

Shui Bing'er was a Skywater Academy student and a regular customer of Su Hui's barbecue stall for over a year before learning that he had become a Soul Master. She introduced herself after sensing his increased soul-power fluctuations, then apologized when her question about his background proved intrusive. She considered Su Hui impressive for surviving independently as an orphan, though she worried that his late start would make his path difficult. 9

During a Skywater Team soul-hunting mission in the Far North, a blizzard separated the seven girls from Dean Shui Furong. The group was pursued by a ten-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion; with their stamina and soul power nearly exhausted, Shui Bing'er ordered the others to flee while she remained behind to delay it. 25

After an unknown ice dome trapped the scorpion, Shui Bing'er kept the team at a safe distance and covered their withdrawal rather than assuming the danger had passed. She later gave Shui Furong a concise account of the encounter. 25 26

She was stunned to discover that the person inside the shattered ice dome was Su Hui, now a level 36 Soul Elder with a purple-black-black soul-ring configuration. Though Shui Furong accepted the explanation of consecutive soul-beast sacrifices, Shui Bing'er remained skeptical that a Soul Elder could physically withstand ten-thousand-year soul rings. 27 28

When Su Hui joined Skywater Academy, Shui Bing'er questioned how an academy restricted to female ice- and water-attribute students could admit him. His revelation of the Silver Dragon King Martial Soul and Ultimate Ice caused her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul to tremble under its pressure, awakening her determination to obtain an ultimate-attribute spirit ring herself. 29 31

Appearance

Shui Bing'er has long water- or ice-blue hair, often worn in a ponytail, and crystal-like ice-blue eyes. 9 30

• Her hair flies prominently when she confronts threats in the Far North. 25
• During Ice Phoenix possession, her pupils become ice-blue and ice-crystal patterns appear on her skin. 35
• She manifests crystalline ice wings whose feathers are formed from condensed ice elements. 35

Personality

Shui Bing'er is composed, observant, and conscientious. She apologized immediately after intruding on Su Hui's personal circumstances and later provided him with a spare robe when she realized he had lost his belongings in the Far North. 9 28

As Skywater Team captain, she prioritizes her teammates' safety and makes quick decisions under pressure. She was prepared to face a ten-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion alone so that the rest of the team could escape, and she refused to dismiss danger merely because an unknown party had intervened. 25

She is highly competitive and takes defeat seriously. Although she recognized the overwhelming advantage of Su Hui's Ultimate Ice and his fifty-thousand-year soul skill, she challenged him at equal cultivation level and vowed to defeat him in a future match after losing. 31 35 38

Her thinking is straightforward and logical, making Su Hui's unrelated interests in barbecue, herbs, metal ores, and smithing difficult for her to reconcile with his exceptional cultivation talent. 39 41

Abilities & Skills

Ice Phoenix Martial Soul

Shui Bing'er possesses the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, a top-tier ice-attribute martial soul. At level 36, she is a three-ringed Soul Elder with a yellow-yellow-purple soul-ring configuration. 27 35

• Martial Soul possession manifests ice-crystal wings and lowers the surrounding temperature enough for ground moisture to freeze into spreading frost. 35
• Her Ice Phoenix enhances her mobility through aerial movement and supports ice-element attacks. 35 36
• Her martial soul was suppressed by Su Hui's Ultimate Ice and reacted with fear to its higher-order ice attribute. 31 37

Ice Seal

A mental lock-on crowd-control skill that releases a fan-shaped ice-blue shockwave. 36

• Enemies caught by its radiance and possessing lower soul power are forcibly frozen for two to three seconds. 36
• It failed to restrain Su Hui's Ultimate Ice clone, whose body shattered the sealing ice almost immediately. 36

Ice Ring Armor

Shui Bing'er's primary defensive soul skill, forming crystalline blue armor over her arms and chest. 36

• Nullifies part of attacks below a certain intensity. 36
• Enhances her speed and strength, allowing her to adopt hit-and-run tactics with her Ice Crystal Wings. 36
• It was cracked by the Ice Man clone's physical attacks and later shattered by the Ice Jade Scorpion puppet. 36 37

Ice Resistance Ring

A ring-shaped ice-blue shockwave centered on Shui Bing'er. 36

• Produces both knockback and damage effects. 36
• It successfully blasted the Ice Man clone away, but the maneuver consumed substantial soul power. 36

Relationships

• Shui Yue'er — Younger sister; Shui Bing'er protects and leads her during the Far North crisis, while Yue'er refuses to leave her behind. 9 25
• Shui Furong — Mother and dean of Skywater Academy; Shui Bing'er is protective of her and openly admonishes her when Furong becomes overly enthusiastic around Su Hui. 26 30
• Su Hui — Former barbecue-stall owner she knew as “Little Boss Su,” later a fellow Skywater Academy student and Skywater Team substitute. She is considerate toward him, skeptical of his explanations, and intensely competitive with his strength. 9 27 35 38
• Skywater Team — Captain of the seven-girl team; she leads them during their encounter with the Ice Jade Scorpion and remains central to their established formation. 25 38

Major Arcs

Far North Soul-Hunting Mission

Shui Bing'er led the Skywater Team after they became separated from Shui Furong in a blizzard. Facing an overwhelming Ice Jade Scorpion, she chose to remain behind to protect her teammates until Su Hui's intervention removed the immediate threat. 25

Meeting Su Hui Again

She recognized Su Hui after he emerged from the ice dome with two ten-thousand-year soul rings. Her disbelief at his abrupt rise in strength persisted even after Shui Furong explained it as the result of soul-beast sacrifices. 27 28

Skywater Academy and Team Trial

After Su Hui joined the academy as a substitute, Shui Bing'er tested his abilities in a soul fight. She initially fought his Ice Man clone with Ice Seal, Ice Ring Armor, and Ice Resistance Ring, but was ultimately defeated by the Ice Jade Scorpion form of his Extreme Ice Differentiation. 35 36 37

The battle exhausted her soul power and left her with minor injuries, but she accepted the result and declared that she would win next time. 38

Trivia

• Shui Bing'er has innate level-nine soul power. 27
• She and Shui Yue'er had been visiting Su Hui's barbecue stall for more than a year before he joined Skywater Academy. 9
• She rescued Su Hui from overly enthusiastic senior students on his first day at Skywater Academy by ordering the offenders to run training laps. 34
