Background

Du Qionghua was a high-school classmate and lifelong friend of Liu Xin. Unlike Liu, who pursued martial arts and became a police officer, Qionghua attended a regular university and lived as an ordinary wealthy second-generation daughter after graduation. Her father, Du Chun, led Jiang City's Du Family Martial Arts Hall, later associated with Zhenyue Martial Arts Hall. Both Qionghua and her brother Du Shenyuan were considered to have mediocre martial aptitude, leaving the hall without a natural successor from Du Chun's children 8.

She married martial artist Chen Kefa and became the mother of Chen Yan. Following Chen Yan's birth, she stayed in a luxurious VIP hospital suite for a month in accordance with East Continent postpartum customs, then brought him home to a prepared nursery in their two-story villa 3 4.

Initially, Qionghua wanted Chen Yan to live a safe, ordinary life rather than become a martial artist. Chen Kefa's dangerous missions kept her awake with worry, and she reacted with fear whenever Chen Yan displayed abnormal phenomena, including his floating golden cocoon and later a second awakening that encased him in a red egg 4 5 45.

As Chen Yan's abilities and the threats surrounding Jiang City became increasingly apparent, she moved with him to the Imperial Capital and Imperial Martial University. There, she learned spirit cooking to make medicinal meals for him and continued to watch over his health despite his exceptional constitution 99 105 129.

Chen Yan eventually taught her a breathing technique through dream-based instruction. The experience awakened her desire to stop being solely the family member under protection; after years of persistent cultivation, she entered the professional realm and continued advancing to the professional peak 187 253 317.

Appearance

Du Qionghua is a gentle, graceful woman in her thirties whose cultivation has left little visible trace of age. She has fair, delicate skin, a slender figure, long hair, and soft, painterly features 273 317.

• Often wears practical yet neat clothing, including a loose white training suit while cultivating 253.
• Her brows and eyes are gentle, and her faint smile is described as reassuring 273.
• Her body became more symmetrical and streamlined as she began cultivating rather than becoming visibly muscular 187.

Personality

Du Qionghua is deeply maternal, affectionate, and attentive. She personally prepared Chen Yan's nursery, worried over his extraordinary appetite and physical condition, dressed him carefully for visits, and repeatedly checked whether he was hurt after dangerous incidents 4 8 80.

Her protectiveness often manifests as anxiety. She fears the risks of martial cultivation, supernatural incidents, assassins, prison breaks, and the separation caused by her son's exceptional growth 4 92 129 273.

Despite beginning as someone with little confidence in her martial potential, she develops perseverance and ambition. Her breakthrough is driven by the conviction that she cannot always remain behind her husband and son and wants to become a pillar of support for them 253.

Abilities & Skills

National Qi Induction Technique

Chen Yan teaches Qionghua a breathing technique that requires no prior martial foundation. Dream Weaver allows her to practice it for months within a dream before she continues cultivation in reality 187.

• Rapidly approaches Amateur Rank 1 after her initial dream-training 187.
• Breaks through to the professional realm after three years of cultivation 253.
• Primarily cultivates the technique rather than combat-oriented martial arts 273.

Physical Cultivation

Her cultivation produces substantial physical improvement despite her lack of combat specialization.

• Demonstrates a punch force of 168 kilograms to Du Chun and Wang Jun 203.
• Possesses abundant qi and blood and a robust physique as a Professional Rank 4 practitioner 273.
• Reaches the professional peak by the time Chen Yan returns home at age fourteen 317.

Dream Cultivation

Qionghua can cultivate in dreams created by Chen Yan's Dream Weaver ability.

• Her first dream-training session compresses three months of practice into a brief real-world period 187.
• She initially mistakes the dream's strength for something lost upon waking, then learns she retained the technique itself 187.
• Her dream once reflected a wish to become a martial-arts college entrance-exam top scorer and enter Imperial Martial University 65.

Relationships

• Chen Yan — Her son. She is intensely loving and protective of him, while he later guides her onto the path of cultivation 1 80 187.
• Chen Kefa — Her husband and Chen Yan's father. Their relationship is affectionate and supportive, though his frontline deployments cause her continual worry 4 40 273.
• Du Chun — Her father and master of the Du Family Martial Arts Hall. He takes great pride in her unexpected cultivation progress and supports the expansion of Zhenyue Martial Arts Hall into the Imperial Capital 8 253.
• Wang Jun — Her mother. Wang Jun is affectionate toward Chen Yan and later witnesses Qionghua's newfound martial ability 80 203.
• Du Shenyuan — Her brother. Like Qionghua, he was not expected to inherit their father's martial-arts legacy due to mediocre aptitude 8.
• Liu Xin — Her high-school classmate and best friend. They regularly spend time together with their children and support each other during crises 8 20.
• Yu Qingmeng — Liu Xin's daughter and Chen Yan's childhood companion. Qionghua treats her warmly and later learns spiritual-power techniques from her 8 317.

Story Role

• Raises Chen Yan through his infancy, providing a loving home while struggling to understand the extraordinary phenomena surrounding him 1 5 6.
• Represents the ordinary family affected by the Spirit Race incidents, rifts, and escalating dangers of the High Martial Era 3 20 99.
• Moves with Chen Yan to the Imperial Capital as he enters the Grandmaster Class at Imperial Martial University 98 99.
• Becomes one of the first beneficiaries of Chen Yan's dream-assisted cultivation approach, demonstrating that even someone without an initial martial foundation can begin cultivating 187 203.
• Continues cultivating alongside the growth of Zhenyue Group, progressing from an ordinary person to a professional-level practitioner 253 273.
