Physical Description

Gu Tian is initially a six-year-old boy of lean but sturdy build, with healthy, sun-tanned skin and short, neatly cropped yellow hair 1. His features are handsome and heroic, carrying a maturity beyond his years that stems from his transmigrated soul and the influence of the Chaos Dragon God bloodline 1 29. By the time of his stay at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he is seven years old, yet already possesses the bearing and strength of an exceptional Soul Elder 101. Despite his small stature, his physique is far superior to ordinary children due to years of practicing the Nine-Turn Dragon Breath cultivation method and the refinement brought by soul bones, immortal herbs, and divine power 1 92 179. His overall presence often conveys a calm, collected demeanor, occasionally accentuated by nine-colored divine light when his martial soul is active.

• Eye Color: Not explicitly described in the provided context.
• Hair: Short, neat, and yellow 1.
• Clothing Style: Initially wears simple, modest village garments; later is seen in practical attire such as a white T-shirt, and he purchases a variety of new clothes for himself and his companions, favoring well-fitted, high-quality fabrics 1 40 44. As his status rises, he travels in luxurious carriages and wears clothing appropriate to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Heaven Dou Royal Academy 92 110.
• Unique Marks: Inherits the Dragon God Mark on his forehead during the Chaos Dragon God's inheritance, which aligns with a burning sensation felt there during the awakening ceremony 2. The mark is associated with the nine-colored divine light of his martial soul.

Personality

• Mature beyond his years: Gu Tian consistently demonstrates a level of maturity unusual for his age. From his decision to leave home to protect his parents, avoiding a tearful goodbye to spare their feelings 4, to harboring secret ambitions and carrying memories of a past life 1, he shows an adult’s understanding of responsibility and sacrifice. This maturity is also evident in his resilience during the painful inheritance of the Chaos Dragon God’s power 2, his calm, composed demeanor when confronted by authority figures like Yu Xiaogang 21, and his handling of Dragon City’s beast-tide crisis 191.

• Manipulative and scheming: Gu Tian is a master manipulator, using deception and psychological tactics to achieve his goals. He spins a conspiracy theory to Er Ming, painting Tang Hao as a villain who may have used Ah Yin for her hundred-thousand-year soul ring, planting doubt and driving a wedge 8. He takes Yu Xiaogang as his master not out of respect, but to observe and provoke Tang San up close, relishing the idea of shattering the "Grandmaster's" theories while forcing Tang San to call him "Junior Brother" 23. He even agrees to help Tang San hunt for a soul ring specifically to hinder his growth, treating it as an opportunity to sabotage his rival 26. His manipulation of events and people is a recurring theme, often turning Xiao Wu against Tang San and solidifying his own position 17. He later deliberately allows Tang San to believe he has outsmarted him over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, ensuring Tang San’s group is misled in Sunset Forest 91 92.

• Determined and resilient: Gu Tian possesses a fierce determination that drives him through adversity. He endures excruciating pain during his martial soul inheritance without complaint 2. He is determined to leave the Star Dou Great Forest and rescue Xiao Wu from Tang San, a goal that fuels his training 8. This resilience is also shown in his journey across rugged terrain to reach the Star Dou Great Forest 5, as well as his refusal to be intimidated by Yu Xiaogang’s theoretical authority or Tang San’s provocations 21. Even after collapsing from divine-power exhaustion while confronting Dugu Bo, he remains committed to restoring the Dragon Kings and advancing the Dragon God legacy 107.

• Protective of loved ones: Despite his manipulative nature, Gu Tian shows genuine care and protectiveness toward those he considers his own. He is deeply worried about Xiao Wu’s safety, terrified that Tang San might get to her first, and schemes to become her protector 8. After Xiao Wu’s betrayal by Tang San, Gu Tian becomes her guardian, offering her care and acceptance 17. His concern extends to his attendants Gu Yue and Na’er, and he is willing to use any means to safeguard them and his parents 4. He also protects Dragon City during the beast tide, resolves the conflict with the Extreme North, and helps Shui Bing’er secure a suitable third soul ring and advance to rank thirty 179 191.

• Confident and arrogant: Gu Tian exudes confidence in his own abilities, often bordering on arrogance. He is unimpressed by Yu Xiaogang’s famed theories, dismissing them as the work of someone with mediocre talent trying to cover up his own incompetence 21. During his fight with Tang San, he taunts and dominates him, shattering the Clear Sky Hammer with his bare fists and showing no fear of the techniques Tang San attempts 17. He openly calls Tang San “pretentious” and refuses to acknowledge Yu Xiaogang’s authority 21, displaying a clear disdain for those he views as lesser. At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he dismisses the Emperor Class rules and declares his intention to dominate the class 114.

• Calm and composed in the face of pressure: Gu Tian rarely loses his cool, even when provoked. During Yu Xiaogang’s probing lecture, he remains indifferent and unhurried, while Tang San is visibly agitated 21. When Tang San blames him for the destruction of Holy Soul Village, Gu Tian finds it amusing and frustrating rather than angered, calmly deciding to let Tang San suffer more to increase his own trial rewards 36. He also shows a lack of fear when confronting the powerful Gu Yuena, maintaining his composure even when confined for training 8. This composure remains evident when Xue Qinghe probes his origins and when City Lord Yu Sanjin turns to him during Dragon City’s crisis 110 191.

Abilities

Martial Soul: Dragon God (Chaos Dragon God)

Gu Tian’s martial soul is the Dragon God, also referred to as the Chaos Dragon God, a divinely bestowed martial soul granted by Ao Linxi, the Chaos Dragon God herself. It manifests as a noble and peerless divine dragon wreathed in nine-colored divine light, which can suppress other dragon-type martial souls and instill primal fear in soul beasts 2 4 29. When released, it produces a low, desolate dragon roar and a phantom of the Dragon God that can create gale-force winds and dominate the surroundings 20 48. Gu Tian’s innate soul power was twenty levels at awakening, an unheard-of achievement for humans, because the martial soul carried an additional ten levels of divine power 3 4. The Dragon God martial soul is not a traditional inherited soul; it bypasses the usual restrictions on soul ring hunting, and its bearer can obtain soul rings through the special Dragon God Trial rather than by killing soul beasts 3. The aura of the Dragon God exerts bloodline suppression so strong that even high-age soul beasts like the Mandala Snake lose all will to fight 29. The soul itself can be disguised as a crude dark-golden Dragon Claw to hide its true nature 4.

• Applications:

  • Overwhelming suppression of enemy martial souls, especially dragon-type and beast-type souls, causing them to retract or disobey their users 20 29.
  • Intimidation and submission of wild soul beasts without combat, as seen when a thousand-year Saber-Toothed Tiger fled from the Chaos Dragon God bloodline 5.
  • Passive enhancement of Gu Tian’s presence and credibility, often shocking onlookers (e.g., Zhu Zhuyun was stunned mid-attack upon seeing the nine-colored divine light) 48.
  • Foundation for all other soul skills and the cultivation of divine-level abilities.
  • At higher cultivation, the martial soul’s god-grade aura can be released alongside three thousand-year soul rings and multiple soul bones, intimidating the defenders and soul beasts at Dragon City 179.

• Limitations:

  • The true form of the Dragon God is so conspicuous that Gu Tian must keep it disguised to avoid unwanted attention from powerful figures like the Spirit Hall 4.
  • The immense bloodline pressure can harm weaker beings if not controlled, limiting its use in casual or protective situations.
  • The martial soul’s divine nature requires Gu Tian to cultivate using the Dragon God Trial rather than standard soul ring absorption, which can restrict his growth if trials are not completed 3.
  • Drawing excessively upon its divine power can exhaust Gu Tian and cause him to collapse, as happened after Chiyan and Tide manifested their true-dragon forms against Dugu Bo 107.

First Soul Skill: Burning Sun of the Thousand Radiance

Granted by Gu Tian’s first soul ring—a deep purple thousand-year ring—this skill is a high-damage single-target soul skill derived from the Fire Dragon King, Chiyan 18 48. It manifests as a concentrated burst of fiery radiance that delivers devastating thermal and kinetic force. The skill was first used to cripple a four-hundred-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider with a single strike, and later to instantly defeat Zhu Zhuyun, a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, cracking her ribs and sending her flying 27 48. The power of the skill scales with Gu Tian’s soul power level and is further amplified when used within the Red Lotus Karma Fire Domain 18. At Soul Elder level, it can directly evaporate the Soul King Ye Zhiqiu’s first skill, Profound Water Heavy Wave 88.

• Applications:

  • Quick elimination of single threats, even those of higher cultivation age or soul ring count, as the thousand-year base provides massive initial damage 27 48.
  • Synergy with the Fire Dragon King’s Right Arm Bone to chain single-target attacks, overwhelming opponents before they can react.
  • Execution of wounded soul beasts to ensure a clean kill for soul ring absorption.
  • Countering water-element attacks through its overwhelming fire-elemental output 88.

• Limitations:

  • As a single-target skill, it is ineffective against groups of enemies unless combined with area abilities.
  • The skill’s high energy cost means Gu Tian cannot spam it repeatedly at lower soul power levels; it requires careful timing 18.
  • The damage depends on the user’s current soul power level—at level 23 the doubling effect from the domain is still weak, limiting peak output 18.

Fire Dragon King’s Right Arm Bone

The Fire Dragon King’s Right Arm Bone is a thousand-year external soul bone gifted by Chiyan, the Fire Dragon King. It is a jade-red bone that evolves as Gu Tian’s cultivation improves, and it provides a tremendous boost to physical strength, enabling him to shatter stone and solid metal with his bare hands 18 48. The attached soul bone skill, Fire Dragon Mountain-Crushing Force, is a high-damage single-target attack that channels fire dragon energy through Gu Tian’s right arm, delivering a blow that can crush steel and topple structures 18. The bone also serves as a conduit for Chiyan’s essence, strengthening Gu Tian’s fire-based abilities.

• Applications:

  • Augmented physical attacks that can break through defensive soul skills and armor, as demonstrated when Gu Tian shattered Zhu Zhuyun’s ribs with a single punch 48.
  • The Fire Dragon Mountain-Crushing Force skill acts as a secondary finishing move, complementing Burning Sun of the Thousand Radiance.
  • The bone’s evolving nature means its power will grow as Gu Tian advances, potentially gaining new effects at higher soul power tiers 18.

• Limitations:

  • The soul bone skill is also single-target, so it shares the same group-combat weakness as the first soul skill.
  • Over-reliance on the right arm for combat could create predictability; experienced opponents might target the limb to disrupt the bone’s function.
  • The thousand-year level, while impressive, is not the maximum possible; stronger soul bones from hundred-thousand-year beasts could surpass it in raw power 27.

Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone

City Lord Yu Sanjin presents Gu Tian with a ten-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone before the defense of Dragon City’s north gate 178. The bone was originally connected to the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion’s clan, prompting the later misunderstanding that caused the second beast tide. Gu Tian returns it to the Ice Empress out of consideration, but she gifts it back to him for his use once the misunderstanding is resolved 190.

• Applications:

  • Provides a high-grade ice-element soul bone compatible with Gu Tian’s dragon bloodline and his alliance with Tide, the Ice Dragon King 178 190.
  • Strengthens his overall physical foundation and contributes to the three soul bones he displays during the Dragon City beast tide 179.

• Limitations:

  • Its origin initially created political tension with the Extreme North soul beast clans and could have escalated the beast-tide conflict 188 190.
  • Its precise attached soul bone skill has not been disclosed in the provided context.

External Soul Bone and Flight

By the Dragon City beast tide, Gu Tian possesses three soul bones, including an External Soul Bone capable of flight 179. This allows him to take aerial positions during large-scale conflicts and fight alongside Chiyan and Tide as they descend in their Dragon King forms.

• Applications:

  • Aerial mobility and battlefield observation during the defense of Dragon City’s north gate 179.
  • Allows Gu Tian to coordinate with airborne Dragon King allies and evade attacks in open combat.

• Limitations:

  • The exact origin and attached skill of this External Soul Bone remain unrevealed in the provided context.
  • High-intensity use alongside Dragon God divine power may contribute to physical and spiritual exhaustion.

Space—Displacement

Gu Tian possesses a spatial ability called Space—Displacement, which he uses to evade the Titan Snow Demon King A Tai’s powerful punch during the Extreme North conflict 188. It functions as an instantaneous repositioning technique rather than a simple movement skill.

• Applications:

  • Evading powerful direct attacks that Gu Tian cannot safely block head-on 188.
  • Repositioning during combat to create openings for allies or avoid being overwhelmed.

• Limitations:

  • The range, activation requirements, and soul power cost have not been specified in the provided context.
  • It is primarily shown as an evasive maneuver, rather than a direct offensive technique.

Red Lotus Karma Fire Domain

This domain skill is granted by Chiyan and is activated to create a zone of dark red fire that doubles the damage of fire-elemental attacks within its range 18. When deployed, it encapsulates a large area (e.g., the entire Zhu Residence) with a ring of dark red fire, isolating the interior from the outside world and applying persistent fire pressure 48. The domain is a strategic force multiplier, making Gu Tian’s already potent fire skills significantly more lethal.

• Applications:

  • Area denial and battlefield control: enemies inside the domain suffer from increased fire damage and may be trapped by the ring of fire 48.
  • Synergy with Burning Sun of the Thousand Radiance and Fire Dragon Mountain-Crushing Force to achieve double damage, allowing Gu Tian to one-shot foes who could otherwise withstand single hits 18.
  • Psychological intimidation: the sight of a massive fire cocoon and the oppressive heat can demoralize opponents, as seen with the Zhu family guards 48.

• Limitations:

  • The domain is fire-specific; enemies resistant or immune to fire (e.g., water-element soul masters) will be less affected.
  • Gu Tian’s “current foundation is too weak,” so the doubling effect is not fully realized at his early cultivation stage 18.
  • Sustaining the domain likely consumes soul power continuously, limiting its duration in prolonged battles.

Dragon God Trial

The Dragon God Trial is a divine assessment system tailored specifically for Gu Tian by the origin of the universe, serving as the sole method for him to obtain soul rings without hunting soul beasts 3. The trials are generated based on Gu Tian’s deepest wishes, and completing them rewards him with soul rings, soul bones, increased soul power, and other divine gifts. For example, the first trial—“Subdue a harem”—resulted in a thousand-year soul ring and the Fire Dragon King’s Right Arm Bone, as well as a three-level soul power boost to level 23 3 17 18. The trial content evolves with his growth; the second trial required him to fall in love with two women 18. Failure to complete a trial within the unspecified time limit may stall his cultivation progress.

• Applications:

  • Bypasses the need to kill soul beasts, allowing Gu Tian to gain soul rings without moral compromise or the danger of high-age beasts.
  • Rewards are not random but tied to the trial’s nature, ensuring Gu Tian obtains abilities aligned with his goals (e.g., a fire-element soul ring from the Fire Dragon King).
  • The trial structure directly increases his soul power level upon completion, providing rapid cultivation gains.
  • Each major advancement is associated with the recovery and return of Dragon King power, including Chiyan and Tide 18 63.

• Limitations:

  • The trials are unpredictable and can involve personal or relationship-based challenges, not purely combat; some may be embarrassing or difficult to complete quickly (e.g., harem-building).
  • The age and power of the rewarded soul ring are capped by Gu Tian’s current cultivation level—Chiyan noted the first soul ring could only be thousand-year due to his low level 18.
  • If trials require extensive time or specific conditions (e.g., genuine romantic feelings), they can delay his power progression compared to traditional hunting.

Nine-Turn Dragon Breath Cultivation Technique

The Nine-Turn Dragon Breath is a cultivation secret taught to Gu Tian by Ao Linxi, which allowed him to absorb the essence of heaven and earth even before his martial soul awakening 1 5. This technique enables him to recover soul power quickly during travel and combat, as seen when he crossed the Xingyao Principality and Dragon Cry Mountains while recovering 5. It is a foundational method that enhances the efficiency of his soul power regeneration and refinement.

• Applications:

  • Sustained endurance during long journeys or extended battles by rapidly replenishing spent soul power.
  • Pre-awakening cultivation, giving Gu Tian a six-year head start in strengthening his dantian and spiritual sea, and eventually allowing him to achieve innate soul power of twenty 2 3.

• Limitations:

  • The technique is likely tied to the Chaos Dragon God bloodline; it may not be transferable or teachable to others.
  • It is a passive recovery method rather than a combat skill, offering no direct offensive or defensive applications.

Fire Dragon King Chiyan (Spirit Entity)

Chiyan, the Fire Dragon King, is a divine spirit residing within Gu Tian’s sea of consciousness who can manifest outside his body for protection 18. She has her own awareness, personality, and immense fire elemental power. When manifested, she can create a massive fire cocoon and encase herself in Fire Dragon Spirit Armor, a transformation that turns her into a Fire Dragon Goddess-like form capable of isolating entire buildings with rings of dark red fire 48. Chiyan acts as a guardian and mentor, and she can use her own abilities independently of Gu Tian’s soul power. After recovering and fusing with her Dragon King body, she can manifest as a true dragon and is recognized as a Title Douluo-level ally 103 107 179.

• Applications:

  • Autonomous combat support: Chiyan can engage enemies while Gu Tian focuses on other tasks or recovers, dramatically expanding his tactical options.
  • Ultimate defensive and offensive display: her Spirit Armor form allows her to single-handedly neutralize multiple opponents (e.g., encapsulating the Zhu Residence and scorching Zhu Ganglie into submission) 48.
  • Soul ring and soul bone gifting: Chiyan can directly bestow soul rings and soul bones to Gu Tian through the Dragon God Trial process 18.
  • True-dragon combat support alongside Tide, as displayed against Dugu Bo and in Dragon City’s defense 107 179.

• Limitations:

  • Chiyan’s manifestation is tied to Gu Tian’s soul power and spiritual strength; overuse may exhaust him.
  • She is a separate entity with her own will, so she may refuse commands or act on her own judgment.
  • Her power is currently limited by Gu Tian’s cultivation level; she cannot exert her full divine strength until he grows stronger 18.

Ice Dragon King Tide (Spirit Entity)

Tide is the Ice Dragon King, a Dragon King spirit allied with Gu Tian and Chiyan. She assists in upgrading Gu Tian’s soul rings and granting new soul skills, and later recovers her original body through fusion 63 103. In battle, she can manifest in Ice Dragon King Spirit Armor, freeze the battlefield, and suppress powerful opponents such as the Soul King Ye Zhiqiu and the Titan Snow Demon King A Tai 88 188. She is counted among Gu Tian’s three Title Douluo-level allies during the Dragon City beast tide 178.

• Applications:

  • Ice-element battlefield control, including freezing terrain and restraining powerful enemies 88 188.
  • True-dragon manifestation and coordinated combat with Chiyan 107.
  • Authority within the Extreme North through her Snow Empress manifestation, allowing her to subdue A Tai 188.
  • Supports Gu Tian’s ring upgrades and the development of his ice-element abilities 63.

• Limitations:

  • Her full restoration and combat output remain connected to Gu Tian’s development and the recovery of the Dragon Kings’ original bodies 63 103.
  • The precise limits of her Snow Empress and Ice Dragon King forms have not been fully disclosed.

Relationships

Gu Yuena

Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King and co-ruler of the soul beast clan, initially approaches Gu Tian with cold suspicion after he arrives at the Lake of Life. Her attitude softens dramatically upon reuniting with her former master, Ao Linxi, within Gu Tian’s spiritual sea; she weeps with relief and joy, then agrees to support Gu Tian as the Dragon God’s successor 6. Determined to revive the soul beast lineage, she takes personal charge of Gu Tian’s training, requiring him to address her as “Wife” during their private sessions to accelerate their emotional bond 8. When that fails to complete the Dragon God’s First Trial of love, she creates two avatars—Gu Yue and Na’er—to accompany him to the human world and cultivate feelings around the clock 9. She also gives him a silver dragon mark for communication and a Clone Technique to protect him, demonstrating both overprotectiveness and strategic concern for his safety 9 12. Despite her divine authority, she shows vulnerability and a maternal side, trying to kiss him to complete the trial and confining him to the Lake of Life only because she fears for his survival in a world monitored by the God Realm 7 6. By the resolution of the Extreme North crisis, she openly kisses Gu Tian before the soul beast leaders, publicly declaring her affection and encouraging others to act on their feelings 191.

• Reunites with Ao Linxi in Gu Tian’s spiritual sea; cries and expresses relief, then agrees to support Gu Tian 6.
• Trains Gu Tian personally and instructs him to call her “Wife” to strengthen their bond 8.

• Publicly kisses Gu Tian after the Extreme North conflict, affirming her affection before Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and the Ice Empress 191.

Ao Linxi

Ao Linxi, the former master of Gu Yuena, now resides as a spiritual entity within Gu Tian’s spiritual sea, acting as his primary mentor and strategist. She explains to Gu Yuena how she preserved her soul, descended upon Gu Tian, and chose him as the Dragon God’s successor, activating the Dragon God Trial immediately after his awakening 6. Her tone is often playful and teasing, especially about Gu Tian’s romantic entanglements—“Little Tian, you’ve got quite the luck with women”—and she regularly comments on his progress with the trials 9. She communicates with Gu Tian privately, advising him on major events such as the destruction of Holy Soul Village and even contacting Gu Yuena to arrange emergency teleportation if needed 32. Her relationship with Gu Tian is that of a wise but mischievous guardian, nudging him toward growth while enjoying his struggles. Ao Linxi also guides Tide and Chiyan in merging their origins to restore memories of their fallen bodies and later monitors the evolution of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well within Gu Tian’s sea of consciousness 63 98.

• Reunites with Gu Yuena in the spiritual sea, explaining her survival and the Soul Beast Revival Plan 6.

Xiao Wu

Xiao Wu, a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit reincarnated as a human, is initially bonded to Tang San but quickly becomes the object of Gu Tian’s manipulation and affection. Gu Tian uses a conspiracy theory to plant doubt in her mind about Tang Hao and Tang San, making her question Tang San’s intentions and ultimately turning her against him 12. She moves into Gu Tian’s apartment at Nuoding Academy, feeling a sense of belonging, and her feelings for him deepen as he shows care—cooking breakfast, holding her hand, buying her new clothes 14 13. She struggles with jealousy toward Gu Yue and Na’er but is accepted by them, especially when Gu Yue positions her next to Gu Tian 14. Xiao Wu becomes openly affectionate, leaning on him during class and hooking his arm, while simultaneously growing annoyed with Tang San’s possessiveness 23 31. She eventually decides that if Tang San is not a good person, she will stay with Gu Tian forever, and she is later introduced by Gu Tian as one of his wives 14 32. During Tang San’s later confrontation in Dragon City, she openly rejects his declaration of love and chooses to leave with Gu Tian 176.

• Hears Gu Tian’s conspiracy theory about Tang Hao; becomes suspicious of Tang San’s motives 12.
• Moves into Gu Tian’s apartment after returning to Nuoding Academy; feels a sense of belonging 13.
• Receives a homemade breakfast from Gu Tian and goes shopping with him, Gu Yue, and Na’er 14.

• Greets Gu Tian warmly on his return from the Soul Hunting Forest and hooks his arm 31.
• Is introduced by Gu Tian as one of his wives to Meng Yiran 32.
• Rejects Tang San’s obsessive confession in Dragon City and leaves with Gu Tian 176.

Gu Yue

Gu Yue is the cold, arrogant, and powerful avatar created by Gu Yuena to accompany and protect Gu Tian. She is dedicated to his safety above all else, often showing disdain for enemies like Tang San and even offering to kill him 30 36. Though she maintains a frosty exterior and rarely smiles, she displays rare gentleness—for example, helping Gu Tian in the kitchen and holding Xiao Wu’s hand to position her next to him, signaling acceptance of Xiao Wu into their group 14. She is practical and calm, using her storage ring to pay for rabbit heads and leading the way when needed 10. During Yu Xiaogang’s class, she allows Gu Tian’s playful caress under the table, her dark green eyes showing tenderness 23. She is aware of Xiao Wu’s feelings and works to integrate her, showing a strategic side to relationships. She continues to accompany Gu Tian through the Extreme North and Dragon City crisis, where she participates in resolving the conflict with A Tai 188 191.

• Helps Gu Tian in the kitchen and smiles gently while doing so 14.
• Holds Xiao Wu’s hand and positions her next to Gu Tian, indicating acceptance 14.
• Offers to kill Tang San when he blames Gu Tian for Holy Soul Village’s destruction 36.
• Allows Gu Tian to caress her legs under the table during Yu Xiaogang’s lecture 23.
• Displays disdain for Tang San’s weakness during his soul ring absorption 11.
• Accompanies Gu Tian during the Extreme North and Dragon City events 188 191.

Na’er

Na’er is the sweet, innocent, and affectionate avatar of Gu Yuena, with long silver hair and pale purple eyes. She is immediately clingy toward Gu Tian, calling him “Brother Gu Tian” and insisting on staying by his side always 9.
