Background / History

Hu Liena became Bibi Dong's new disciple, receiving the Pope's personal favor and cultivation. Before becoming close to Bibi Dong and Jiang Chen, she had only her elder brother, Xie Yue, as family. 96 124

She endured three years in Death Camp, an experience severe enough to leave her troubled by nightmares after leaving it. Jiang Chen later recognizes that her fear stems from the camp's brutality and the killing required to survive there. 115 117

At eleven, Hu Liena had not yet reached level 30, but she was already recognized for exceptional beauty and talent. By fourteen, her fourth soul ring elevated her to Soul Ancestor, marking her as a rare prodigy. 97 110 201

Appearance

Hu Liena is a tall woman, stated to be around 1.78 meters, with short purple hair and striking fox-like eyes. Her natural allure becomes markedly stronger when she manifests her Martial Soul. 234 677

• Slender, tall build with a naturally seductive bearing. 234 677
• Fox ears and a large fluffy tail appear during Martial Soul Possession. 177 721

• At god level, she manifests nine enormous tails and a pink domain suffused with seductive aura. 1070 1094

Personality

Hu Liena is initially playful, confident, and competitive toward Jiang Chen. Although she first treats him as a junior brother, she repeatedly tests him with her charm abilities out of a desire to overcome his resistance. 124 125 126

Her experiences make her resilient but not emotionless. Yan's betrayal devastates her, yet she overcomes her shock and kills him when Bibi Dong orders her to prove her resolve. 192 194

She is protective and possessive of Jiang Chen, reacting sharply to women she believes are interested in him. She also displays compassion toward victims of Slaughter City's violence and a willingness to place herself in danger alongside her companions. 318 321 349

• Her voice and red-eyed gaze can bewitch targets without requiring direct physical contact. 678
• Her charm can incapacitate multiple opponents, as shown against the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team. 678

• Earlier versions could create attractive men or women, but determined targets could escape. 202
• Her fourth soul skill improves on Illusion Realm by transforming into the person a target desires most. 202
• The enhanced illusion magnifies desire and allows Hu Liena to view a victim's thoughts and identify personal weaknesses. 202

Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Hu Liena can combine her power with Xie Yue in a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Poison Immunity

After consuming immortal herbs and absorbing their energies in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Hu Liena gains immunity to its opposing poisons.

• She becomes unaffected by the well's extreme fire and cold energies. 258

• The herbs substantially accelerate her Soul Power growth before their remaining energy is fully absorbed. 270 302
