Background

Shia is the daughter of Chenguang, the Dawnlight Sword Saint and master of the Warrior Alliance’s Sword Palace. A continental prodigy, she sensed Qi at nine, became a Battle Qi Warrior at ten, and attained the Titled Expert rank before turning one hundred 361.

Despite her achievement as an Origin Core Realm expert, Shia sought to condense a Gold Battle Body rather than settle for a lower-grade physique. Her first attempt failed four years before Xiao Hen’s return to Phoenix, leaving her vulnerable to her father’s political plan to marry her to Torres, Elder Fire’s son 369 372 373.

Appearance

Shia is a beautiful, cool-looking woman who appears to be around twenty despite being far older due to her cultivation. She commonly wears white and carries herself with a reserved, icy composure 361 364.

• Black pupils described as calm as still water before her Battle Body condensation 361.
• Fair, jade-like hands capable of stopping a greatsword with two fingers 364.

• Her hair became silvery white after condensing the Ancient King Battle Body 380 381.
• Her transformed body possesses “Ice Muscle Jade Bone,” with crystal-like bones, skin, and musculature 378 380.

Personality

Shia is composed, dignified, and difficult to provoke. She faces opponents such as Lydon, Claire, and the Black Crow assassins without panic, responding with calm assessment and decisive force 364 366.

Her reserve does not make her passive. She resists her father’s attempt to use her marriage for political support, refuses Torres directly, and pursues a stronger Battle Body so she can control her own future 369 376. Although normally cool toward others, she shows unusual softness, concern, and trust toward Xiao Hen from their first journey together 361 367 373.

Abilities & Skills

Ice-Attribute Battle Qi

Shia’s Battle Qi manifests as exceptionally powerful ice energy, allowing her to overwhelm lower-level warriors and suppress opponents whose attributes are poorly matched against cold-based techniques.

• Freezes enemies’ wounds, blood flow, internal organs, and Battle Qi circulation 366.
• Projects cold energy as lethal ice needles 366.
• Uses sword qi to strike distant targets; a near-full-power strike pierced the fleeing Black Crow leader’s heart 366.

Ice Longsword

Shia can create and wield a deep-blue longsword made of pure ice. Despite its nature, it has the destructive presence of a divine weapon in her hands 366.

• Moves through multiple attackers while delivering precise, fatal strikes 366.
• Intercepted a Level 9 assassin before he could kill Xiao Hen 366.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Escort to Phoenix

Shia is assigned by her father to escort the young Xiao Hen to Warrior Alliance headquarters after his exceptional talent is verified. During the journey, she protects him from Lydon, Claire, and the Black Crow assassins 361 364 366.

Marriage Arrangement and Failed Battle Body

After Xiao Hen’s decade of seclusion, Shia is pressured to marry Torres because she failed to condense a Gold Battle Body. She reveals that her father promised she could choose her own marriage if she achieved that level of power 369 372 373.

Condensation of the King Battle Body

Shia accepts Xiao Hen’s help in a cultivation chamber. He enhances her soul aptitude and supplies Battle Qi during the process, enabling her to condense the Ancient King Battle Body rather than merely a Gold Battle Body 378 380. To protect Xiao Hen’s secret involvement, she claims that a mysterious inheritance from 8,600 years earlier enabled her breakthrough 381.

Choice of Marriage and Wedding

Shia first claims to love Xiao Hen to resolve suspicion around her breakthrough, but the statement becomes a public commitment. When forced to choose by Wind Walker, she names Xiao Hen rather than Torres; the Warrior Alliance sets their wedding date, and they marry in Phoenix 382 384 385 404.

Defense of Phoenix

During the assault on Phoenix by the Dark Temple and allied forces, Shia fights alongside the Warrior Alliance. She unleashes the full power of her King Battle Body while pursuing enemies threatening her father and the city 407 408.

Family Life and Xiao Hen’s Departures

Ten years after the war, Shia and Xiao Hen have a son, Yibel.

She continues to support Xiao Hen despite his later departure for the Eternity Realm, promising that she and Yibel will await his return 424.

Trivia

• Shia initially intended to condense the ice-attributed Gold Battle Body known as the Ice Spirit Body, but instead awakened the far rarer Ancient King Battle Body 378 380.
• Her King Battle Body made her only the second known person on the continent to possess such a physique 401.
• She kept Xiao Hen’s role in her breakthrough secret because the King Battle Body’s value could provoke dangerous attention toward him 380 381.
