Background

Leng Yaozhu served as the Spirit Pagoda's Vice Pagoda Master, overseeing recruitment while the Pagoda Master handled broader affairs. During a riot period at the Spirit Ascension Platform, she learned that the seven-year-old Su Chen had defeated a Man-Faced Demon Spider and several three-ring Soul Elders without using soul skills. She immediately traveled to Eastsea City to investigate him herself. 16

Recognizing Su Chen's potential, she formally invited him to the Spirit Pagoda, offering to accept him as her personal disciple and direct the organization’s resources toward his development. She subsequently evaluated his physical and spiritual power, arranged a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit for him, and became deeply invested in his growth. 20 21 22

She personally guarded Su Chen during his fusion with the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit and praised the resulting Void Blade skill. Although her responsibilities to headquarters and the Leng Family prevented her from remaining in Eastsea City, she continued visiting him every month for several days to check his health and cultivation. 26 28

She later accepted Gu Yue as her second disciple, providing her with a thousand-year soul ring and arranging her admission to Eastsea Academy. Leng Yaozhu treated Gu Yue with notable affection while expecting Su Chen, as her senior disciple, to protect and guide her. 37 53 116

Leng Yaozhu also arranged Su Chen’s admission to Tianding Starry Sky Academy before the Skysea Alliance Grand Competition. She offered to accompany him, but he chose to travel with Xu Xiaoyan instead. 117

After Su Chen obtained the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he gave Leng Yaozhu Blazing Gel to aid her cultivation. Its fire-element power enabled her to reach Limit Douluo, and her later work involving a powerful soul spirit preceded her public revelation as a demigod. 142 144 175

Her contest with Qiangu Dongfeng initially centered on the division of authority and resources between their families. A transaction involving the Ice Dragon King Soul Spirit increased her practical authority beyond his, allowing her to remove his internal arrangements before formally becoming Pagoda Master. She subsequently installed a new energy supply system to help transform Su Chen’s Dragon God Remnant Soul into a soul spirit. The experiment’s enormous energy consumption prompted Qiangu Dongfeng and the councilors to confront her, leading to her revelation of demigod strength. 147 148 170 173 175

Su Chen later entrusted her with Heavenly Phoenix Origin Essence Blood. Its complete compatibility with her Heavenly Phoenix bloodline triggered a public nirvana, during which she evolved for seven days before emerging as a quasi-god with ultimate-fire power. 184 185 187

With the Qiangu Family’s leading figures gone, Leng Yaozhu announced the takeover of its authority and assets within the Spirit Pagoda. She then led the purge of the family’s remaining influence, favoring the seizure of resources and industries over indiscriminate killing. 188 190 191

A week after the purge, she had completely consolidated control and formally obtained the position of Pagoda Master. She left the Deputy Pagoda Master position temporarily vacant, sharing resources with other councilors while retaining supreme authority. 192

By the time she informed Gu Yue of the Spirit Pagoda’s political changes, Leng Yaozhu had become its Pagoda Master. She began grooming Gu Yue through an Eastsea City internship and planned to promote her to Spirit Envoy after she gained experience. 197

Leng Yaozhu placed her younger sister Leng Yulai in charge of the Spirit Pagoda’s Star Luo Empire affairs and supported Su Chen’s efforts to bring its branches back under headquarters’ control. She approved of his forceful handling of the empire’s subsequent contracts, while also checking on Yulai after losing contact with her. 210 213 272

Under her leadership, the Star Dou Battle Network approached its continent-wide launch. She also expanded the Spirit Pagoda’s political connections by winning over Federation councilors, preparing to seek the speaker and deputy speaker positions, and maintaining good relations with the Western Legion. 246

She later accompanied Su Chen to the Blood God Legion, intending to supervise his entry into an S-Rank Abyss Passage. When the legion’s officers objected to her demands, she asserted her quasi-god strength and invoked the Spirit Pagoda’s financial support for the legion. After an Abyssal uprising interrupted her vacation with Su Chen and Leng Yulai, she immediately resolved to aid the legion. 292 293 302

During the ensuing battle, Leng Yaozhu dealt with Black Empress. When Evil Soul Master interference breached the Blood God Formation, she attacked a Three-Word Battle Armor-wearing Super Douluo with a Fallen Angel martial soul, forcing the outmatched opponent to choose self-destruction. 305

Following the Abyssal crisis, Leng Yaozhu used intelligence supplied by Su Chen to organize a coalition of the Federation, Spirit Pagoda, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and major families against Evil Soul Masters. Within a month, the coalition had destroyed more than a thousand strongholds. She then prepared to confront the Holy Spirit Cult’s Ghost Emperor and Nether Emperor, leaving the more dangerous Demon Empress to Su Chen. 317

She subsequently returned after leading the coalition and fighting both emperors. Learning that Su Chen had arranged jobs and accommodation for Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi through her channels, she reproached him for bringing the two women back while she had been fighting. When she later asked him to locate the escaped Nether Emperor, Su Chen assured her that he had already dealt with him as a precaution. 328 329

Appearance

Leng Yaozhu appears to be around thirty years old, with an elegant, mature presence reinforced by the authority and pressure of a top-tier Soul Master. She is frequently described in formal red or black attire. 19 21 141

  • Tall, with a mature and curvaceous figure. 19
  • Long red hair, often worn over her shoulders. 21
  • Elegant facial features and phoenix-like eyes. 19 184
  • Commonly wears fitted dresses, business suits, black stockings, and high heels outside combat. 19 117 141
  • In battle, manifests a vast crimson-gold Heavenly Phoenix phantom and wears crimson four-word Battle Armor. 230
  • Her Limit Douluo breakthrough leaves her looking younger, with more delicate skin. 144
  • Regarded as the Spirit Pagoda’s foremost beauty and described as the continent’s second most beautiful woman after Ya Li. 26 287

Personality

Leng Yaozhu is commanding, disciplined, and accustomed to being treated with deference. Spirit Pagoda personnel regard her as a near-unapproachable figure because of her beauty, position, and strength, while her political rivals learn quickly that she does not tolerate challenges to her authority. 26 175

Despite this stern public image, she is exceptionally nurturing toward her disciples. She invests heavily in Su Chen and Gu Yue, praises their confidence, protects them from threats, and takes personal responsibility for their advancement. 22 70 116 197

Having never married and long wished for a child, she initially treats Su Chen like her own son. She personally attends to his meals and health, and takes considerable happiness in caring for him. She also encourages his relationship with Gu Yue, believing that he is the only suitable match for her exceptional second disciple. 26 28 71

She is protective without being needlessly bloodthirsty. During the Qiangu Family purge, she sought resources and concessions rather than total extermination, considering powerful Soul Masters too scarce to kill without cause. 190 191

Her political outlook is pragmatic rather than uniformly idealistic. On learning of the Qiangu Family’s cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult, she was especially angered that Qiangu Dongfeng had concealed the arrangement, monopolized its benefits, and exposed her to risks without informing her. As Pagoda Master, she also weighs the Spirit Pagoda’s public reputation and institutional stability when deciding how openly to act against disobedient branches. 190 196 204

Her feelings toward Su Chen gradually become personal as well as maternal and mentor-like. Their private relationship remains a source of guilt for her when Gu Yue is present, and she is notably possessive when Leng Yulai attempts to monopolize his attention. 141 194 213 245

Around Su Chen, Leng Yaozhu can set aside her dignified public manner and become playful, openly affectionate, and reluctant to part from him. Although she initially competes with Leng Yulai for his attention, she gradually accepts their relationship. She hopes eventually to retire after preparing Gu Yue to lead the Spirit Pagoda and live quietly with Su Chen. 214 274 275 302

Her attachment to Su Chen does not prevent her from answering a wider crisis: when the Abyssal seal weakens, she promptly ends their vacation to help the Blood God Legion. 302

Despite her administrative position, she retains a strong enthusiasm for combat. The prospect of facing the Ghost Emperor and Nether Emperor visibly excites her, and Su Chen deliberately leaves their pursuit to the coalition so that its members can contribute meaningfully. 317

She can become jealous when Su Chen’s activities appear more leisurely than her own responsibilities. After returning from battles against the Holy Spirit Cult’s emperors, she indignantly contrasts her work with his arrangements for Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi. 328

Abilities & Skills

Fire Phoenix Martial Soul

Leng Yaozhu’s martial soul is the Fire Phoenix, a flight-type martial soul that grants extraordinary aerial mobility and immense firepower.

  • Flew from Shrek City to Eastsea City in less than half an hour as a level 98 Title Douluo. 16
  • Manifests as a massive Fire Phoenix in combat. 16 191
  • Possesses nine soul rings: six black and three red. 230
  • Her martial soul’s evolution after nirvana pushes her flames toward ultimate fire. 185 186

Ultimate-Fire Domain

After her advancement, Leng Yaozhu can spread a vast ultimate-fire domain that overwhelms opponents and reshapes the battlefield.

  • Her flames can engulf large sections of the sky and distort the surrounding air with heat. 230
  • The domain forced Qiangu Qingfeng and Cold Rhyme Douluo to defend against its pressure and heat. 191
  • Yun Ming struggled to approach her without Battle Armor due to the domain’s combined offensive and defensive utility. 231

Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana

The Heavenly Phoenix Origin Essence Blood awakened and evolved Leng Yaozhu’s bloodline through a fiery rebirth.

  • The essence blood was a complete match for her Heavenly Phoenix bloodline, allowing immediate absorption without resistance. 185
  • Her evolution formed a blood-red cocoon of fire visible across Shrek City. 185
  • She chose the faster, conspicuous method of absorption because she trusted Su Chen to guard her evolution. 185
  • She emerged after seven days as a quasi-god whose presence pressured nearby Title Douluos. 187
  • At the time of her breakthrough, she was described as the continent’s second-youngest quasi-god after Yun Ming. 187

Four-Word Battle Armor

Leng Yaozhu is a four-word Battle Armor Master, giving her a decisive advantage over most Soul Masters of comparable cultivation.

  • Her crimson Battle Armor is described as elegant and fitted to her combat form. 230
  • Combined with quasi-god cultivation and ultimate fire, it allows her to suppress ordinary Title Douluos with overwhelming ease. 175 187
  • Her advantage in Battle Armor contributed to Yun Ming’s inability to defeat her during their confrontation at Shrek Academy. 231

Quasi-God Combat Capabilities

Leng Yaozhu’s evolved martial soul, cultivation, and equipment place her among the continent’s foremost combatants.

  • Overwhelmed Leng Yulai in private sparring even when her younger sister used a divine artifact. 212
  • Possesses sufficient Soul Power reserves to fight for ten days or half a month with little difficulty. 231
  • Her suppression of Yun Ming occurred while he lacked his four-word Battle Armor and refrained from drawing on the Ancient Tree of Life or using his trump cards. 230 231
  • Her combat strength was assessed as roughly equal to the Nether Emperor’s before the coalition pursued him. 317
  • Fought both the Ghost Emperor and Nether Emperor during the coalition campaign, although the Nether Emperor escaped and was subsequently dealt with by Su Chen. 328 329

Spirit Pagoda Administration and Soul Spirit Research

Leng Yaozhu is an influential administrator with access to the Spirit Pagoda’s highest-grade facilities and resources.

  • Directed Spirit Pagoda recruitment efforts as Vice Pagoda Master. 16
  • Could arrange elite cultivation resources, including a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit, for Su Chen. 22
  • Ordered preparations for the Spirit Awakening Platform and oversaw the energy requirements for soul-spirit work. 146 149
  • Installed an upgraded energy supply system and helped transform the Dragon God Remnant Soul into a seven-colored soul spirit with a physical body and rudimentary intelligence. 170 171 173
  • Consolidated control over the Spirit Pagoda after the Qiangu Family’s collapse. 188 197
  • Prepared the plans used by Leng Yulai’s subordinates to negotiate new partnerships in the Star Luo Empire. 213
  • Brought the Star Dou Battle Network close to launch while expanding the Spirit Pagoda’s connections within the Federation Council and Western Legion. 246
  • Used the Spirit Pagoda’s funding of the Blood God Legion as leverage when its officers resisted her request concerning Su Chen. 293
  • Organized a large, multi-faction campaign against Evil Soul Masters using intelligence provided by Su Chen. 317
  • Maintained oversight of the organizational channels Su Chen used to secure guard captain positions and accommodation for Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi. 328 329

Equipment / Weapons / Items

  • Crimson four-word Battle Armor — Her primary combat armor, used alongside her quasi-god cultivation and Fire Phoenix power. 175 230
  • Fire Lotus — A weapon wielded during her battle with Yun Ming at Shrek Academy. Its crimson-gold petals unfold as she condenses it from her flames. 230
  • Spirit Pagoda identity token — Granted to Su Chen to permit access to the organization’s facilities after he became her disciple. 21
  • Blazing Gel — A fire-element treasure obtained by Su Chen from Infernal Delicate Apricot and gifted to her; its absorption enabled her Limit Douluo breakthrough. 141 142 144
  • Heavenly Phoenix Origin Essence Blood — A fully compatible bloodline treasure gifted by Su Chen and absorbed during her seven-day nirvana to quasi-god. 184 185 187

Relationships

  • Su Chen — Her personal disciple and closest confidant. Leng Yaozhu provides him with resources, protection, connections, and cultivation guidance; their bond later becomes a concealed romantic relationship. She accompanies him to the Blood God Legion and hopes to retire with him after Gu Yue is ready to lead the Spirit Pagoda. 20 22 141 184 245 214 293
  • Gu Yue — Her second disciple and Su Chen’s junior sister. Leng Yaozhu treats her with maternal affection and intends to prepare her as a future Spirit Pagoda leader. She actively encourages Gu Yue’s relationship with Su Chen and later states that the futures of Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi depend on Gu Yue’s approval. 37 53 71 116 197 329
  • Leng Yulai — Her younger sister. Their relationship is strained by Yulai’s jealousy and past hostility, though Leng Yaozhu still protects her and entrusts her with responsibilities in the Star Luo Empire. The sisters later compete for Su Chen’s attention, while Leng Yaozhu gradually accepts his relationship with Yulai. 186 190 210 214 274 275
  • Qiangu Dongfeng — Political rival and former Pagoda Master. Their conflict escalates after he contests her authority and investigates Su Chen. 175 184
  • Qiangu Qingfeng — A Qiangu Family powerhouse whom she confronts during the family purge. She offers him terms rather than immediately seeking his death. 191
  • Yun Ming — A figure she once loved and compared herself against. After becoming a quasi-god, Leng Yaozhu suppresses him in battle while demanding protection for Su Chen at Shrek Academy. 116 230 231
  • Ya Li — A longtime romantic rival over Yun Ming. The two had previously been closely matched in cultivation, but Leng Yaozhu’s rapid advancement left Ya Li far behind. Their rivalry also provides a personal backdrop to Leng Yaozhu’s enthusiastic support for Su Chen and Na’er. 186 287 290
  • Cai Yue'er — A former romantic rival from her youth. Leng Yaozhu attacks her at Shrek Academy after believing that Su Chen had been mistreated. 228 230
  • Na’er — Su Chen’s companion, whom Leng Yaozhu meets at the Spirit Pagoda. Concerned that Su Chen might take advantage of her, Leng Yaozhu sternly warns him not to bully or lead Na’er astray. She is immediately charmed by Na’er, welcomes her warmly, and supports their relationship while insisting that Su Chen must not let her down. 287 289 290
  • Cao Dezhi — An old acquaintance and a leader of the Blood God Legion. Leng Yaozhu clashes with him over arrangements for Su Chen’s entry into an Abyss Passage, pressuring him through both her cultivation and the Spirit Pagoda’s financial support. 293
  • Ghost Emperor and Nether Emperor — Holy Spirit Cult leaders assigned as her targets during the coalition campaign. She fights both, but the Nether Emperor escapes; Su Chen later confirms that he has already dealt with him. 317 328 329
  • Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi — Women for whom Su Chen arranges guard captain positions and accommodation through her administrative channels. Leng Yaozhu knows the details of these arrangements and questions him about bringing them back while ostensibly pursuing the Demon Empress. 328 329

Leng Yulai’s estrangement originated in her belief that Leng Yaozhu had secretly confessed to Yun Ming despite knowing her younger sister’s feelings. Leng Yaozhu regretted failing to explain matters before Yulai left the family and eventually joined the Holy Spirit Cult. After Su Chen brought them together again, the sisters reconciled, and Leng Yaozhu welcomed Yulai back without requiring her to continue serving the cult. Her willingness to accept her sister carried reputational risks for the Spirit Pagoda, but she prioritized their family bond. 189 190 215

Major Arcs

Recruitment of Su Chen

Leng Yaozhu’s first major role is discovering Su Chen’s unprecedented talent through the Spirit Ascension Platform incident. Her decision to make him her only personal disciple establishes the core mentor-disciple relationship that drives much of her later involvement. 16 20 22

She warns him that the Spirit Pagoda competes with the Tang Sect and tells him not to become Yun Ming’s disciple at Shrek Academy. Su Chen promises not to join the Tang Sect and jokes that he will defeat Yun Ming for her. His photograph of Leng Yaozhu also earns him Heavenly Phoenix Origin Essence Blood through his collection system, the treasure he later gives her. 22

Cultivation of Su Chen and Gu Yue

She supports Su Chen’s early growth with testing facilities and rare soul-spirit resources, then accepts Gu Yue as a second disciple. She encourages the two disciples’ development while ensuring that Su Chen does not mistreat Gu Yue. 21 22 37 53 116

Her support includes guarding Su Chen’s soul-spirit fusion, providing premium nutritional meals, making regular visits despite her headquarters responsibilities, and arranging his admission to Tianding Starry Sky Academy. She also warns her disciples about Long Yue before their Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform visit and later sends En Ci a private warning following the encounter. 26 28 70 76 117

Rise within the Spirit Pagoda

Blazing Gel elevates Leng Yaozhu to Limit Douluo, and she subsequently reveals her demigod strength to silence the Spirit Pagoda council. Her later quasi-god breakthrough allows her to dismantle the Qiangu Family’s dominance and assume control of the organization. 144 175 187 188 197

Her institutional rise begins before the Qiangu Family’s final collapse: the Ice Dragon King Soul Spirit transaction gives her greater practical authority than Qiangu Dongfeng, and she uses that advantage to clear out his arrangements. After the purge, she formally becomes Pagoda Master while leaving the deputy position vacant. 148 170 192

As sole leader, she supports the Star Dou Battle Network’s launch preparations and pursues broader influence through Federation councilors and military connections. 246

Shrek Academy Confrontation

After Su Chen accuses Cai Yue'er of mistreating him, Leng Yaozhu arrives at Shrek Academy and openly challenges Shrek’s leadership. She overwhelms Yun Ming’s unarmored defenses, punishes Cai Yue'er, and compels Shrek to ensure that Su Chen will not be bullied again. 229 230 231

Although the specific cause is kept confidential, news that she stormed Shrek and emerged unscathed spreads. The incident enhances the Spirit Pagoda’s prestige and attracts additional Soul Masters to join it. 265

Blood God Legion and Abyssal Crisis

Leng Yaozhu accompanies Su Chen across the Endless Mountains to the Blood God Legion, where she insists on supervising his training in an S-Rank Abyss Passage. She suppresses an officer who challenges her and threatens to reduce the Spirit Pagoda’s funding when the legion’s leadership resists her demands. Later, news of a weakened Abyssal seal prompts her to leave a private vacation and go to the legion’s aid. 292 293 302

In battle, she deals with Black Empress before turning on the Evil Soul Masters responsible for disrupting the Blood God Formation. Her fiery palm attack leaves a Fallen Angel martial soul user unable to contend with her, and the opponent resorts to self-destruction. 305

Campaign against the Holy Spirit Cult

Using Su Chen’s intelligence, Leng Yaozhu organizes a coalition that destroys more than a thousand Evil Soul Master strongholds within a month. She prepares to lead the effort against the Ghost Emperor and Nether Emperor, while Su Chen takes responsibility for the Demon Empress. 317

The campaign follows Su Chen’s proposal to use the Qiangu Family’s divination artifact to locate the cult’s scattered strongholds. Leng Yaozhu agrees to rally the major powers after learning that he can use the artifact without meaningful cost. 316

She later fights both emperors and returns to headquarters, where she confronts Su Chen over his arrangements for Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi. The Nether Emperor escapes the coalition’s efforts, but Su Chen confirms that he has already taken care of him when Leng Yaozhu asks for help locating him. 328 329
