Story Role / Major Arcs
Contempt for “Ye Yang”
Yu Xiaogang encounters Qian Renxue, who is posing as Ye Yang, at Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy. Believing her to be a commoner with no martial soul, he lectures Tang San to avoid associating with people whose futures are supposedly predetermined by their failed awakenings. 13
Confrontation and Sneak Attack
Qian Renxue rebukes Yu Xiaogang by exposing his level 29 soul power and condemning him for judging others' paths. Humiliated and ignored as she leaves, Yu Xiaogang summons Luo Sanpao and launches his numbing-fog soul skill at her from behind. 14 15
Defeat and Maiming
Qian Renxue effortlessly neutralizes the attack, manifests the Radiant Emperor War Dragon, and forces Yu Xiaogang to his knees under overwhelming pressure. She then shatters both of his legs, sparing his life only because of Tang San. 15 16
