Background / History

Shen Yueliang awakened her martial soul in a town near the Far North. Her level-20 innate soul power drew enough attention that Shrek Academy initially attempted to recruit her directly. Instead, she entered the Pre-Education Academy without testing and became its dean's student. After helping her obtain two soul rings, the dean largely stopped personally attending to her and arranged for Zi Buyu to guide her instead. 50

Raised in Winter's End City, Shen Yueliang grew up around snow-covered mountain ranges and glaciers. Her father, Shen Xiaoqiang, taught her unusual stories about Shrek Academy, soul beasts, and Soul Master tournaments; he also exposed her to poetry, songs, and prose that later informed her combat style. 51 213 225

She traveled with Li Changsheng and Zi Buyu to the Star Dou Great Forest, where she used nonlethal zither techniques to restrain a Green Snake Horse for Li Changsheng's soul-ring hunt. 51 During a later expedition, she and Li Changsheng rescued and adopted the white Mandarin Duck Spirit Cat kitten Little Star. 63 76

After Tang Ya and Beibei invited Li Changsheng to join the Tang Sect, Shen Yueliang joined alongside him. Li then began teaching her the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Tang Sect secret arts on their journey to Shrek Academy. 69 76

Appearance

Shen Yueliang is a petite silver-haired girl with azure-blue eyes. She is frequently described as strikingly beautiful and elegant, though her small stature causes others to underestimate her. 95 126 243

• Long silver-white hair, sometimes noted to carry a pale-blue tint. 95 126 288
• Azure or pale-blue eyes. 51 71
• Often wears a mask, though she is seen without it in casual attire at the Pre-Education Academy. 49
• Wears Shrek's skirt uniform and has been seen in a pale-blue dress within the Heart Realm. 96 126
• Her hair and eyes become especially conspicuous while cultivating the Purple Demon Eye, when purple, azure, and radiant light intermingle in her gaze. 76

Personality

Shen Yueliang initially appears cool and distant, but those close to her know her as gentle, kind, and considerate. She readily supports her companions, takes responsibility when Li Changsheng is absent, and places herself between stronger enemies and younger students. 76 203 213 243

She is highly intelligent and observant. She can assess soul beasts by visible traits, infer the presence of Evil Soul Masters from environmental clues, and quickly identify tactical details that others miss. 51 244 Her academic background and broad reading also make her capable of instructing less experienced Soul Masters. 229

Despite her composure, she is sensitive about being treated as a child or underestimated due to her height and appearance. 243 She can also be naïve about how extraordinary her innate talent is, and remains modest after decisive victories. 50 356

Abilities & Skills

Seven Absolute Zither

• Sunrise Nine Abysses: Great Sun True Form — Creates nine sun-like spheres that melt an enemy's attacks and attempt to imprison them. 213

• Copied Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record — Used to begin cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill. 76
• Little Star — A white female Mandarin Duck Spirit Cat she cares for and carries with her. 63 76 96
