Background / History

Ye Qingyuan is the great-granddaughter of Ye Yu, the Azure Luan Douluo and Hall Master of the Star Luo Empire Offering Hall. She inherited his Azure Luan Divine Bird martial soul, whose cultivation requirements are unusually strict: every one of its soul rings must come from a top-tier bird-type soul beast. 1 7

She grew up alongside Yang Jian and calls him “Second Brother.” Although the two had no need to attend Shrek Academy due to their connection to the Offering Hall, Ye Qingyuan wished to see the academy for herself; Yang Jian accompanied her at her request. 2 10

Before enrolling, she and Yang Jian spent three days in the Star Dou Great Forest searching for a suitable third ring. They eventually located a Cloud Wing Luan; Yang Jian’s Chaos Domain suppressed its wind attribute, allowing Ye Qingyuan to kill it with Phoenix Feather Slash and absorb its ring. 1 2

Appearance

Ye Qingyuan is a pretty, fair-skinned young girl usually described with a delicate appearance. She first appears in a green shirt, and her martial soul abilities surround her in cyan-gold light. 1 17

• Her expression and demeanor are typically cold and distant around strangers. 3 4
• She has a notably bright, gentle smile when she is with Yang Jian. 2 4
• Activating her martial soul manifests wings and transforms her movement into cyan-gold streaks of light. 17 18

Personality

Ye Qingyuan is determined, proud of her own talent, and eager to prove that she can stand beside Yang Jian rather than rely on him. She accepts a solo challenge against a thousand-year soul beast specifically because she does not believe she should need Yang Jian’s assistance for such an opponent. 15

She is reserved around unfamiliar people—particularly unfamiliar men—and generally lets Yang Jian speak for her. In contrast, she is open and friendly with people she trusts, including Tang Ya. 3 5 12

Her attachment to Yang Jian is intense. She worries about his safety when he seeks dangerous fights, feels jealous when other girls approach him, and takes visible pride in his accomplishments. 12 16 21

Abilities & Skills

Azure Luan Divine Bird

Ye Qingyuan possesses the Azure Luan Divine Bird, an inherited top-tier avian martial soul. Its ring requirements limit her to hunting powerful bird-type soul beasts. 1

• Her martial soul grants high mobility and manifests wings during combat. 17 18
• She fights as a fast-moving attacker, using speed to close distance before unleashing feather-based attacks. 1 17
• Her three rings are Yellow, Purple, and Purple; the second ring is a thousand-year ring that exceeds the conventional configuration. 17

First Soul Skill: *Wind Luan Swift Dash*

Wind Luan Swift Dash turns Ye Qingyuan into a cyan-gold streak and sharply enhances her movement speed. 1

• Provides a 100% movement-speed increase. 1
• Can penetrate the first enemy skill it encounters, allowing her to pass through the Cloud Wing Luan’s hurricane. 1
• Grants 40% resistance to control effects, helping her break out of the Crypt Demon Spider’s web prison. 18

Second Soul Skill: *Phoenix Feather Slash*

Phoenix Feather Slash fires thirty-six razor-sharp feathers in a fan-shaped barrage. 1 2

• The attack killed the over-3,000-year Cloud Wing Luan after Yang Jian suppressed its wind defenses. 2
• Its destructive power was sufficient to threaten the thousand-year Crypt Demon Spider, forcing a supervising teacher to intervene to protect the soul beast. 18
• The skill is especially effective once Ye Qingyuan has closed the distance with Wind Luan Swift Dash. 1

Third Soul Skill

Ye Qingyuan’s unnamed third soul skill creates an expanding storm through the rapid beating of her wings. 18

• The storm lasts up to ten seconds. 18
• It produces eight wind blades per second, reaching eighty blades at full duration. 18
• The blades tore apart the Crypt Demon Spider’s steel-hard web cage in five seconds, freeing Ye Qingyuan to finish the fight. 18

Combat Ability

Ye Qingyuan demonstrated the ability to defeat a thousand-year Crypt Demon Spider alone in Shrek Academy’s Beast Fighting Arena. 17 18

• She correctly identified that the open arena deprived the spider of the terrain needed for its traps and ambushes. 17
• She remained calm after being caught in the Spider Web Cage, having anticipated its use. 18
• Her performance earned the respect of her classmates and praise from Zhou Yi, who considered her capable of leading Class One after Yang Jian’s eventual promotion. 18

Equipment / Items

• Xuanqing Pills — High-grade cultivation pills supplied in abundance by Wang Xian’er; Ye Qingyuan casually feeds them to Little White and carries several bottles in her Soul Tool. 2 13
• Soul Tool — Used to store medicinal pills and other supplies. 13
• Beast-repellent medicinal powder — Used to secure campsites in the Star Dou Great Forest. 1
• White Jade Pills — Used to feed Little White after the Cloud Wing Luan hunt. 2

Relationships

• Yang Jian — Childhood companion whom she calls “Second Brother.” She trusts his strength, worries over his safety, and becomes jealous when other girls seek his attention. 2 10 12 16
• Ye Yu — Her great-grandfather, the Azure Luan Douluo and Hall Master of the Star Luo Empire Offering Hall. 1 7
• Wang Xian’er — Addressed by Ye Qingyuan as “Grandma Xian’er”; provides her with plentiful Xuanqing Pills. 2
• Tang Ya — Initially met at Shrek Academy; later becomes Ye Qingyuan’s roommate and close friend. 5 12
• Bei Bei — A fellow Shrek student from the Star Luo Empire. Ye Qingyuan is initially distant toward him but later spends time with him and Tang Ya. 3 14 21
• Jiang Nannan — Ye Qingyuan pays her Shrek Academy tuition after receiving Yang Jian’s unspoken instruction. 6
• Zhou Yi — Her Class One homeroom teacher. Ye Qingyuan challenges Zhou Yi’s insults, then later earns her praise through the Crypt Demon Spider battle. 8 18
• Ma Xiaotao — Initially regarded with hostility because of her approach toward Yang Jian, but Ye Qingyuan later sympathizes with Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire condition. 13 14
• Little White — Yang Jian’s Silver Howl Divine Dog martial soul; Ye Qingyuan frequently feeds it expensive medicinal pills. 2 22

Story Role / Major Arcs

Third Soul Ring Hunt

Ye Qingyuan travels through the Star Dou Great Forest with Yang Jian to obtain her third soul ring. After her initial Phoenix Feather Slash fails to overcome the Cloud Wing Luan’s hurricanes, she calls for Yang Jian’s support, then kills the weakened soul beast and absorbs its ring. 1 2

Enrollment at Shrek Academy

Motivated by curiosity about Shrek Academy, Ye Qingyuan enrolls in its Outer Court alongside Yang Jian. Her level-30 soul power and recommendation letter from the Star Luo Empire Offering Hall shock the admissions staff. 2 4

She also carries out Yang Jian’s wish to help Jiang Nannan, paying the latter’s tuition without asking for repayment. 6

Class One and Zhou Yi’s Challenge

When Zhou Yi insults the freshmen as cowards and orders them to run one hundred laps, Ye Qingyuan is the first student to stand and protest. Yang Jian subsequently challenges Zhou Yi, and Ye Qingyuan remains confident in his victory because she knows his strength well. 8 10

Beast Fighting Arena Training

Zhou Yi assigns Ye Qingyuan to face a thousand-year soul beast alone. She defeats a Crypt Demon Spider by exploiting the arena’s terrain, breaking its Spider Web Cage with her third soul skill, and preparing a decisive Phoenix Feather Slash. 15 17 18

Her performance overturns her classmates’ earlier assumption that she merely follows Yang Jian and establishes her as one of Class One’s strongest students. 18

Yang Jian’s Rise at Shrek

As Yang Jian attracts attention from female students after defeating Zhou Yi, Ye Qingyuan’s jealousy becomes more apparent. She nevertheless supports his arrangements with Ma Xiaotao and reassures him when he leaves with the senior student to meet Yan Shaozhe. 12 14 21

While Yang Jian begins moving into Inner Court circles, Ye Qingyuan remains in the Outer Court, where her talent is expected to make her a future class leader and likely candidate for promotion. 18 26 28
