Background / History

Shui Bing'er is a direct descendant of the Shui family and a grade-skipping student of Skywater Academy. At age fourteen, she serves as captain of the academy's team, with Xuewu as vice-captain. 23 25

She first encounters Ying Chengfeng's group in the Far North after Skywater Academy becomes entangled in Ji Qingyi's demand that its students help renovate a house. Following Gu Qingbo's defeat by Yu Feiyan, Shui Bing'er challenges Ying Chengfeng to secure her group's departure. 20

Her Ice Phoenix's area-of-effect attacks fail to reach Ying Chengfeng, who deflects and gathers her shattered ice arrows into a massive ice sword without releasing his soul rings or domain. Humbled by the gap between them, Shui Bing'er concedes defeat, agrees to help with the construction, and asks to join his group. 21

She remains after the other Skywater Academy students depart, but is eventually retrieved by academy representatives. Before leaving, she demonstrates precise ice shaping by carving a life-sized ice sculpture of Ying Chengfeng. 22 23

Three years later, Shui Bing'er reunites with Ying Chengfeng during Skywater Academy's Soul Master Challenge. After witnessing him overwhelm Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors despite possessing only three soul rings, she concludes that he is someone she can only look up to. 25

At Skywater Academy, Ying Chengfeng uses flute music to help Shui Bing'er and Xuewu complete their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. She later loses a challenge match against him and, despite lacking authority to formally grant the challenge rewards, secretly brings him the two Soul Bones intended for the event. 26 27 28

Shui Qinghan punishes Shui Bing'er for delivering the Soul Bones. Ying Chengfeng finds her kneeling in a freezing courtyard, carries her away, and warms her by a fire. Shui Bing'er resolves to return for the challenge match, then asks him to accompany her on a walk and kisses him. 29

Appearance

Shui Bing'er has a cold, refined elegance that stands out even among Skywater Academy's students. Her expression is usually composed, though she becomes visibly flustered around Ying Chengfeng. 20 27 29

• Long blue or pale-blue hair, sometimes described with lightly curled ends. 20 29
• Delicate oval face and a pure, neighborly appearance. 20
• Typically wears an ice-blue dress. 27
• Her hair and complexion are covered in frost while undergoing punishment in Skywater Academy's freezing courtyard. 29

Personality

Shui Bing'er is emotionally stable, earnest, and proud of her ability as a Skywater Academy genius. She challenges Ying Chengfeng directly rather than accept being pressured by him, warning him before using her stronger attacks. 20 21

Her confidence is badly shaken by repeated defeats, but she does not abandon her desire to improve. Instead, she recognizes Ying Chengfeng's superior strength and seeks proximity to him, first by asking to join his group and later by trusting him with the academy's Soul Bones. 21 25 28

Around Ying Chengfeng, Shui Bing'er becomes noticeably less composed. She misreads some of his comments, loses focus during their second duel while watching him move through the snow, and openly presses him to make more “excessive” requests after losing. 27 28

She is also resolute and willing to accept consequences for her choices. Though punished for taking the Soul Bones, she insists that she can afford to lose and intends to return to Skywater Academy to face the challenge match. 29

Abilities & Skills

Ice Phoenix Martial Soul

Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix grants her control over ice, snow, and freezing soul power. She is identified as a Level 31 Power Attack Battle Soul Elder when challenging Ying Chengfeng. 20

• Creates large quantities of ice arrows for area-of-effect bombardment. 21
• Lowers the surrounding temperature and condenses snow into sharper projectiles. 21
• Can direct ice arrows to surround an opponent from all sides. 21
• Uses ice-infused soul power in close-range palm strikes. 27
• Precisely sculpts ice, including a life-sized figure of Ying Chengfeng. 23

Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Shui Bing'er and Xuewu possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill combining the Ice Phoenix with Xuewu's Snow Ribbon. Their soul powers initially repel one another, but Ying Chengfeng's flute music helps them synchronize and complete the technique. 26

• Produces a field of extreme cold filled with aggressive snowflakes. 26 27
• Converts the snowfield into a dense barrage of ice arrows. 27
• Its strengthened ice-arrow assault is described as faintly reaching the level of a Soul King's attack. 27
• Requires coordination with Xuewu; the pair had been unable to perfect it alone. 25 26
• The completed technique remains ineffective against Ying Chengfeng's speed and Wind Domain. 27

Relationships

• Ying Chengfeng — Initially her opponent; his overwhelming strength humbles her and becomes the focus of her admiration and affection. She secretly gives him Skywater Academy's two Soul Bones and later kisses him. 21 25 28 29
• Xuewu — Vice-captain of the Skywater Academy Team and Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul Fusion partner. Xuewu recognizes Shui Bing'er's feelings for Ying Chengfeng and feels excluded by them. 25 27 28
• Shui Qinghan — Dean of Skywater Academy. Shui Qinghan retrieves Shui Bing'er from the Far North and later has her punished for delivering the Soul Bones to Ying Chengfeng. 23 29
• Qian Renxue — A rival for Ying Chengfeng's attention. Qian Renxue reacts hostilely when Shui Bing'er claims to be stronger than Ying Chengfeng's companions, while Shui Bing'er finds her jealousy amusing. 21 22
• Gu Qingbo — Fellow Skywater Academy student whose loss to Yu Feiyan precedes Shui Bing'er's challenge of Ying Chengfeng. 20
