Background / History

Ling Shuang possessed an S-rank Space-type Metahuman Ability and rose to Eighth-Order Middle Position through her own cultivation. Before joining Magic University, she repeatedly rejected Li Hao of the powerful Li Family despite his persistent pursuit; she later took refuge at the university, where Li Hao could not openly pressure her. 400

She arrived at Magic University three years before Xu Jingming met her. Upon arrival, she became a Vice-Principal and assumed responsibility for guarding the Combat Skill Library. Though she rarely appeared outside major events, students regarded her as the university's foremost beauty. 187

After resigning from Magic University, Ling Shuang returned to Thunder Martial Hall. Su Qingli appointed her a Special-Grade Tutor at the Genius Training Camp and assigned Xia Lan, an A-rank Space-type awakener, as her first student. 363 368

Story Role / Major Arcs

Magic University

Ling Shuang recognizes Xu Jingming's exceptional potential after his ability evolves from Purple Heaven Divine Lightning into the SS-rank Du Tian Divine Lightning. She gives him a Space Talisman, helps secure resources and Battle Techniques, and stresses that he must gain real combat experience rather than depend on her protection. 149 150

Following her Eighth-Order Middle Position breakthrough, she allows Xu Jingming to train in the Jiangnan Thunder Secret Realm because her improved teleportation range lets her respond to emergencies. 187

Thunder Martial Hall and Melbourne

After returning to Thunder Martial Hall, Ling Shuang becomes a Special-Grade Tutor and Xia Lan's instructor. She later takes responsibility for the difficult takeover of Thunder Martial Hall's Melbourne and Sydney branches, relying on Xu Jingming as her key ally. 368 583

She accepts a mission to hunt an Eighth-Order Crimson Flame Serpent, only to be ambushed by Heaven's Mandate Sect forces and the Azure White Wolf. Severely depleted after escaping, she reunites with Xu Jingming, who aids her recovery. 672 684 686

Ling Shuang subsequently exposes Liu Shan's indifference and negotiates aggressively for influence within the Melbourne Branch, securing support for her own advancement and Xu Jingming's position. 698 704

Yer Secret Realm

Within the Yer Secret Realm, Ling Shuang gathers 143.4 tons of Exotic Flowers and Rare Herbs through her spatial mobility and resource raids. She later consumes an SSS-rank Yuan Energy Spirit Ginseng, reaching Eighth-Order Upper Position. 830 840

Void Divine Hall Succession

Ximan identifies Ling Shuang's S-rank Space-type Ability as meeting the requirements for the Void God's complete inheritance. Though reluctant to leave Xu Jingming for at least a year in spatial turbulence, she accepts the opportunity and completes her training ahead of schedule. 918 1049

After her return, Ximan announces her as his successor before making his final attempt to break through within the Space Turbulence Layer. 1049

Ninth-Order Spatial Metahuman

Ling Shuang returns to Xu Jingming after breaking through to the Ninth Order. She later assists in containing his unstable Chaos Divine Lightning with her Void Domain and joins efforts to investigate and forcibly open newly discovered Secret Realm spaces alongside other Ninth-Order spatial Metahumans. 1051 1052 1070
