Background / History

Ling Luochen first encounters Huo Yuhao in a Shrek City tavern after noticing him wandering the city following her return from a mission. Curious about him, she approaches him and introduces herself as an upperclassman. 8

Her ice-attribute martial soul gives her a natural affinity with Huo Yuhao's own ice attribute. 9 During a later team spar, she and Huo Yuhao exchange ice-element attacks in a friendly contest before Xuan Zi ends the assessment. 56 57

After the sparring session, Ling Luochen privately brings Huo Yuhao to a tavern and admits that Xuan Zi had asked her to persuade him into joining Shrek's Inner Court. Rather than conceal this purpose, she candidly discusses the academy's increasingly utilitarian nature and the difficulty Inner Court disciples face if they wish to leave and join other factions. She asks Huo Yuhao to remember and take her with him should he establish an independent path. 58 59

During the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament, she recovers more quickly than Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng because of Huo Yuhao's assistance. 65 When Huo Yuhao reveals his intention to establish a faction of his own, Ling Luochen agrees that she is willing to follow him. 77

Huo Yuhao subsequently evolves her martial soul into Ice Spirit and heals her longstanding internal injuries. Her Soul Power rises somewhat after the evolution. 78 83 Although she is later defeated and poisoned during an individual tournament match, Huo Yuhao extracts the poison from her body. 87 88

Appearance

Ling Luochen carries herself as a cool, aloof woman with a mature bearing.

• Ice-blue hair tips that brush against Huo Yuhao's arm when she stands beside him. 77
• Wears high heels. 77
• Wore a dress with a highly exposed back during the evolution of her martial soul. 78
• Her Ice Spirit martial soul manifests as an enlarged humanoid phantom resembling Ling Luochen herself. 78
• Fights with an ice staff, which she can transform while using her martial soul. 87 108

Personality

Ling Luochen is observant and direct. Her initial interest in Huo Yuhao comes from watching his unusual behavior in Shrek City, while her later conversations with him show that she is willing to disclose uncomfortable truths rather than simply carry out Xuan Zi's assignment. 8 58

She is also pragmatic about Shrek Academy's internal problems. She understands Huo Yuhao's wish for independence even when she considers his methods excessively bold, and she recognizes his plan to use public comparisons to establish the value of his future faction. 58 77

After her martial soul evolves, Ling Luochen becomes more confident and assertive. She openly cautions Wang Yan against infighting and insists that Shrek must look beyond disputes over authority if it wants first place. 78

Ling Luochen is protective of the younger members of Shrek's team and critical of poor leadership. She concedes a match to stop Bei Bei from being further humiliated, challenges Yang Ming herself, and later tells Wang Yan to stop placing the tournament's pressure on the Outer Court students. 87 97 Even after Shrek's defeat, she maintains that Huo Yuhao never had an obligation to sacrifice himself for the academy's honor. 109

Abilities & Skills

• Restores her internal injuries by resolving the stiffness and blockages in her meridians. 78
• Leaves her with greater confidence, though she does not believe she can outperform Huo Yuhao. 78
• Its purity approaches Ultimate Ice sufficiently that, while poisoned and unable to use Soul Power, she remains capable of leaving the stage under her own power. 88

Ling Luochen is candid about Xuan Zi's attempt to recruit him, accepts his plans to found a faction, and states that she is willing to follow him. He evolves her martial soul, heals her injuries, and later detoxifies her after her tournament defeat. 8 56 58 77 78 88 109
