Background / History

Elder Lin was assigned to escort and protect Liu Lin and Xu Jiujiu during their expedition to the Star Dou Forest for Liu Lin's first soul ring. He traveled with the caravan led by Old Wang and remained responsible for the pair's security throughout the journey. 9

When Red King appeared near the expedition, Elder Lin immediately chose to draw the beast away so Liu Lin and Xu Jiujiu could escape the forest. 12 During the ensuing confrontation, he was badly outmatched by the Beast King but deliberately led the battle deeper into the Star Dou Forest to keep the danger away from the caravan. 13 He survived the encounter and later rejoined the group while injured. 14 16

Three years later, he was again dispatched alongside Meng Tao to escort Liu Lin, Xu Jiujiu, and the Star Luo Royal Academy delegation to the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. 22 After Liu Lin disappeared following Tang San's attack, Elder Lin participated in the search of Star Luo City and the surrounding hundred li, but found no trace of him. 41
