Background

Ye Qiong was originally a Pathfinder aboard the Astral Express, carrying the storybook As I Wrote that recorded the tales of the Golden Descendants. Haunted by Xilian's sacrifice—she had used her own existence to bridge causality and was trapped in an endless causal loop within the Iron Curtain—he desperately sought a way to change the past. A mysterious voice offered him a chance to go to a brand-new world, a world born on a newborn branch of the Imaginary Tree, where he could start over and ultimately bring Xilian back. The voice implanted a system into him and, upon his agreement, sent him through a beam of light; when he opened his eyes, he had become the child adopted by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect 34.

Transmigration

The mysterious voice promised: "I will give you a system. It will guide you at critical moments and assist you in completing your reincarnation. But remember, the system is merely a tool; do not expect it to walk the path for you." Ye Qiong wrote a farewell letter to the members of the Astral Express, left it on the table, and resolutely stepped into the light. Upon arrival in the Douluo world, the system lay dormant for a time; it was only after he completed a novice quest that the system fully unlocked, granting him access to its functions 3 34.

Awakening Memories

While inside the Simulation Realm, Ye Qiong found a blue book titled As I Wrote, which triggered an overwhelming surge of memories from his past life on the Astral Express 33. Images flashed through his mind: first meeting Xilian at Omphalos, playing and adventuring together; reuniting with her at Ailimixie, watching scenery, taking photos, and fishing; finally overcoming countless obstacles with her, only to lose her to the Iron Curtain 33. The system then spoke with the voice of the mysterious benefactor, confirming that Xilian was currently hidden within the secret realm, looping on the causal line of the Iron Curtain. The only way to free her was to gather supreme power, assemble all the Golden Descendants, and ascend the Imaginary Tree to personally sever her from the causal entanglement. At that point, she would transform into a seed of memory and become his second martial soul, Mimi 34. Fully awakened, Ye Qiong clenched his fists and vowed, "Xilian, I'm coming. This time, no one will ever be able to take her away from me again" 34.

Appearance

Ye Qiong's appearance is characterized by his blonde hair and handsome features, often noted for his talent and charisma 40. He is typically seen in the pale gold robes of the Heaven Dou royal family, reflecting his status or association 40. His overall demeanor can range from a joyful smile when welcoming new students to a grave expression when facing serious threats 38 35.

Specific details of his appearance include:

• Hair: Slightly curly blonde hair 40.
• Eyes: His handsome face is noted 40.
• Attire: He wears the pale gold robes of the Heaven Dou royal family 40. When engaging in card-pulling rituals, he bathes and changes his clothes 13.

Personality

• Fairness and impartiality: Ye Qiong refuses to recruit Ning Rongrong despite her powerful martial soul and noble background, enforcing the same enrollment rules for everyone. He rejects her entitled attitude, stating, “This is my academy, and these are the enrollment rules I have set. If you aren’t satisfied, you are free to leave immediately” 2. He also declines the Crown Prince’s generous recruitment offer because it would conflict with his commitment to his students and academy 41.

• Strategic and calculating: Ye Qiong demonstrates careful forethought in handling threats and opportunities. He uses his knowledge of the cat-eared thief’s background to lure her into a trap with Doloss silk, showing manipulation and patience 44. He also advises Bai E about Tang San’s hidden weapons and movement techniques before a fight, indicating he prepares for opponents’ strengths 6. His entire academy plan revolves around using the system to mold mediocre students into geniuses, reflecting long-term strategy 3.

• Ruthless and uncompromising toward enemies: When Tang San is vulnerable, Ye Qiong attacks him without hesitation, knocking him unconscious to “sever Tang San’s opportunity” 42 43. He defeats Dugu Bo and the Golden Iron Triangle in battle, showing no mercy and solidifying his role as a formidable antagonist 43. After the engagement is annulled, Ning Rongrong views him with hatred, and Ye Qiong remains indifferent to her resentment 43.

• Supportive and invested in his students: Ye Qiong personally distributes spirit pills to each student, monitors their progress, and arranges training plans to improve their aptitude 19 20. He pushes them to face challenges at the Soul Fighting Arena, believing “only through battle can you stabilize your foundation” 21. He also entrusts Keleradra with the solo challenge against the Imperial Fighting Team, showing confidence in her abilities 36.

• Confident and prideful in his academy: Ye Qiong takes pride in Omphalos Academy’s facilities and the Golden Descendants he summons. He smiles while revealing the academy and shows satisfaction when Tiricipios arrives 4. He tells his students, “The strong are those who do not fear challenges,” and expects them to obtain Gold Soul Fighting Badges 21.

• Pragmatic and decisive in personal matters: Ye Qiong prioritizes his personal path over relationships. He respectfully but firmly declines the marriage proposal with Ning Rongrong, focusing on his own ambition and growth 42. He also breaks off the engagement in Chapter 43, showing he will not be tied by obligations that conflict with his goals.

• Methodical in resource management: Ye Qiong uses “metaphysical” rituals before card pulls, washing hands and praying to the Statue of Fuli Lian for good luck 20 13. He carefully plans how to use Star Jade and acquired items, such as the herb garden to improve student aptitude 13. He also thinks ahead about using the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to enhance his students’ talents 15.

• Playful and occasionally lighthearted: Ye Qiong refines pills with unique colors for Bai E, hinting at a playful side 19. He teases the cat-eared thief by referring to himself as “Huizi” and maintains a calm, amused demeanor during confrontations 46. When summoning a character with cat ears, he finds it “interesting” 44.

Abilities and Powers

Martial Soul

Ye Qiong’s primary martial soul is the Pathfinder’s Exclusive Baseball Bat, a unique weapon‑type soul that he upgraded using a Martial Soul Evolution Card 9. The bat possesses immense physical power and spiritual pressure, allowing him to effortlessly overwhelm a hundred‑thousand‑year spirit beast such as the Azure Bull Python 9. When activated, the bat can emit shockwaves that force back multiple opponents at once 12. Ye Qiong can also invoke his seventh spirit ability, Martial Soul True Body, which greatly amplifies his combat capabilities and enables him to spar evenly with Title Douluo like Chen Xin and Gu Rong 41.

• Defeated the Azure Bull Python (a hundred‑thousand‑year spirit beast) with a single strike, forcing it to sacrifice itself 9.
• Used the bat’s spiritual pressure to send the entire Shrek group stumbling backward 12.
• Activated Martial Soul True Body to exchange blows with Chen Xin and Gu Rong, demonstrating strength comparable to peak‑level Title Douluo 41.

Spirit Rings

Ye Qiong’s spirit ring configuration defies the conventional limits known in the Douluo world, most notably a hundred‑thousand‑year red spirit ring as his seventh ring. This ring was obtained from the Azure Bull Python and increased his soul power to the seventy‑fourth rank 10 12. The crimson ring astonishes everyone who sees it, including Zhao Wuji and Tang San, who begin to doubt the teachings of Yu Xiaogang regarding age limits 12. The red ring enables the use of his Martial Soul True Body and serves as a core component of his combat power 41.

• Seventh spirit ring is a hundred‑thousand‑year red ring absorbed from the Azure Bull Python 10 12.
• After absorbing the ring, Ye Qiong’s soul power reached level 74 10.
• The ring grants access to the seventh spirit ability, Martial Soul True Body 41.
• The configuration shatters the accepted limit for third‑ring age (e.g., Bai E’s five‑thousand‑year third ring) and forces protagonists to question established doctrine 12.

System Functions

Ye Qiong possesses a mysterious system that provides a range of functions to accelerate his growth and develop his academy. The system rewards Star Jade upon completion of tasks; Star Jade can be expended through the Warp function (similar to a gacha system) to obtain Golden Descendants, spirit bones, and other valuable items 3 38. Tasks include leading disciples to the Star Dou Great Forest, helping a disciple obtain a soul ring, breaking through to Soul Saint, and enhancing disciple aptitude, with rewards such as additional Star Jade and special cards 8 12 20. The system also displays detailed information about Ye Qiong’s own martial souls and his students’ stats 20 35.

• Received a Newbie Gift Pack containing 5,000 Star Jade and an Academy Construction Basic Pack, then used Warp to summon Golden Descendants and Ti Bao 3.
• Completed three simultaneous tasks (lead disciples to Star Dou Forest, help a disciple obtain a spirit ring, break through to Soul Saint) for 4,000 Star Jade and a special card 12.
• Spent 21,700 Star Jade on a single card‑pulling session, obtaining three Golden Descendants and two adaptive spirit bones (one ten‑thousand‑year external spirit bone and one hundred‑thousand‑year leg bone) 38.
• The system can display the status of Mimi as a juvenile second martial soul, including her inability to attach spirit rings 35.

Dragon King Inheritance

Ye Qiong has inherited the power of multiple Divine Dragon Kings, granting him extraordinary soul bones and elemental abilities. In the Ice and Fire Yin‑Yang Well, he absorbed the residual thoughts of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings and obtained the Left Palm Bone of the Water Dragon King and the Right Palm Bone of the Fire Dragon King—dragon bones that surpass the quality of ordinary soul beast bones 17. This inheritance increased his soul power by two ranks and allowed him to refine pills from immortal herbs for his students 19. Later, in an underground cavern beneath Star Luo City, he absorbed the remains of the Space Dragon King and gained the Dragon Wings of Space external soul bone, granting spatial manipulation capabilities 44.

• Acquired the Left Palm Bone of the Water Dragon King and the Right Palm Bone of the Fire Dragon King from the Dragon Kings’ remnant wills 17.
• The absorption raised his soul power by two levels (implied from around 74 to 76) 19.
• Obtained the Dragon Wings of Space external soul bone from the Space Dragon King’s remains, which provides spatial abilities 44.
• The twin Dragon Kings’ power also enabled Ye Qiong to refine unique pills (e.g., yellow‑purple pills) from immortal herbs harvested at the Yin‑Yang Well 19.

Second Martial Soul: Mimi

After emerging from the Lost Secret Realm, Ye Qiong acquired a second martial soul in the form of Mimi, a small, fluffy creature that was originally a seed of memory 34 35. Mimi is currently in the juvenile stage with her abilities unlocked, but she cannot yet be fitted with spirit rings 35. She displays affectionate and playful behavior, often rubbing against Ye Qiong or hugging his finger, and she shares a close bond with him 35 38. When Mimi manifested as his martial soul, the sky darkened with an ominous red‑and‑black “Iron Curtain,” hinting at a larger cosmic awakening 35.

• Mimi is listed in the system as a second martial soul, status “Juvenile Stage,” abilities unlocked, spirit ring slots vacant and currently unaddable 35.
• She flew onto Ye Qiong’s face upon emerging and frequently seeks his attention with soft “Mi, mi?” sounds 35.
• The Iron Curtain—a red‑and‑black pattern cracking the sky—appeared at the moment Mimi became his martial soul, suggesting her connection to an awakening threat 35.
• Ye Qiong holds her while sleeping and interacts with her gently, indicating a deep emotional bond 38.

Relationships

Ning Rongrong

Ye Qiong and Ning Rongrong’s relationship was defined by mutual antipathy and a broken engagement. As a disciple of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and Ye Qiong’s childhood fiancée, Ning Rongrong approached him with contempt, viewing him as little more than a dependent of the sect 2. When she attempted to enroll at Omphalos Academy, hoping to publicly humiliate him by rejecting a spot, Ye Qiong refused her outright, citing fairness to other applicants and her arrogant demeanor 2. This rejection incensed Ning Rongrong, and she threatened his academy’s future 2. Their interactions remained tense; when they met again in the Star Dou Great Forest, Ning Rongrong immediately confronted him, accusing him of stealing spirit rings 11. Ye Qiong, meanwhile, remained indifferent to her, harboring no affection for the arranged marriage 2. After Ye Qiong incapacitated Tang San, Ning Rongrong’s anger deepened, and she joined her Shrek Academy peers in vowing to oppose him 43. The engagement was formally annulled by Ye Qiong’s request during his meeting with Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Rongrong’s father accepted the decision 42 43. Despite her family’s continued warmth toward Ye Qiong, Ning Rongrong remained a determined adversary.

Ti Bao (Tiricipios)

Ti Bao was Ye Qiong’s most trusted teacher and ally at Omphalos Academy, a relationship built on mutual respect and collaboration. Ye Qiong had recruited her through his system, and she quickly became indispensable for training students and executing plans 4 13. He frequently delegated tasks to her, such as supervising students in the Star Dou Great Forest or managing the academy in his absence 8 35. Ti Bao, in turn, showed genuine concern for Ye Qiong’s safety, agreeing to accompany him to dangerous locations like the Sunset Forest to face Dugu Bo, and sharing his joy when he obtained Dragon King remains 16 19. She was perceptive, noticing subtle changes in his demeanor after transformative events 35. Their interactions were warm and collaborative; Ye Qiong valued her strength and advice, while Ti Bao demonstrated unwavering loyalty. For example, when he drew a new golden card and summoned a Cat Eared figure, he immediately informed Ti Bao and sought her help in executing a trap 44.

Bai E

Bai E was Ye Qiong’s first and most prominent Golden Descendant student, a relationship marked by mentorship and high expectations. Ye Qiong personally guided Bai E’s development, assigning him team captain in the Star Dou Great Forest and ensuring he obtained a five-thousand-year third spirit ring with Ti Bao’s assistance 8 12. Ye Qiong expressed pride in Bai E’s accomplishments and entrusted him with important tasks, such as leading the student group during missions 12. In return, Bai E demonstrated absolute loyalty and respect, defending Ye Qiong’s actions to outsiders like the Shrek group 11. Ye Qiong even refined a special pill from immortal herbs for Bai E, hinting at a deeper personal connection beyond mere instruction 19. Bai E, for his part, felt a mysterious familiarity with Ye Qiong, as if they had known each other before 5.

Mimi

Mimi was Ye Qiong’s second martial soul, a small, fluffy creature that emerged after he absorbed a mysterious seed 35. Their relationship was deeply affectionate and companionable. Mimi exhibited playful, happy behavior around Ye Qiong, flying around him and chirping “Mi~mi!” while nuzzling his fingers 35. Ye Qiong, in turn, showed patience and protectiveness, vowing never to let her leave his side again 35. He treated Mimi as a cherished partner, poking her forehead and smiling at her antics 35 38. Though Mimi was currently a juvenile and could not yet attach spirit rings, Ye Qiong clearly regarded her with joy and care, and she became a constant presence at the academy, even sleeping near him 35 38.

Aglaia

Aglaia was a student of Omphalos Academy whom Ye Qiong trusted with sensitive missions. He tasked her with watching a trap in Star Luo City, using her understanding of his plan to await a cat-eared thief in a tailor shop 44. Ye Qiong’s confidence in her judgment was evident, and Aglaia responded with loyalty and competence, engaging the thief in conversation when she arrived 44. Their interactions were businesslike but underscored by mutual reliability; Ye Qiong praised her in other contexts, such as during spirit fights 40.

Dugu Bo

Ye Qiong’s relationship with Dugu Bo evolved from rivalry to a strategic alliance. Initially, they clashed over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the Sunset Forest, with Ye Qiong defeating the Poison Duke and humbling his pride 16. Dugu Bo retreated, vowing revenge, but later they reconciled. After Dugu Bo was injured by Ye Qiong alongside the Golden Iron Triangle, the two rivals formed an alliance against their common enemy, Ye Qiong, and the Shrek Academy coalition 43. Ye Qiong respected Dugu Bo’s strength and used his poison abilities, while Dugu Bo acknowledged Ye Qiong’s power and joined forces to prepare for the upcoming tournament 43.

Shrek Academy Members (Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhao Wuji, Flender)

Ye Qiong was an overarching antagonist to the Shrek Academy group, particularly Tang San and Xiao Wu. He deliberately undermined Tang San’s opportunities, such as knocking him unconscious during a poison trial to “sever his opportunity” per his system mission 42. This incident enraged Flender and the rest of Shrek, who saw Ye Qiong as a bully and a threat 43. Xiao Wu, in particular, harbored a deep grudge: she learned that Ye Qiong was responsible for the death of the Azure Bull Python (Da Ming), a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and her kin, and she vowed to become strong enough to kill him 12 10. Tang San similarly viewed Ye Qiong with hostility after witnessing his overwhelming power and spirit ring configuration, which contradicted his teacher’s teachings 12. Zhao Wuji actively sought confrontation, allying with other aggrieved parties to oppose Ye Qiong 12. Despite their mutual antagonism, Ye Qiong regarded them with dismissive confidence, seeing his role as “suppressing the protagonists” 12.

Qian Renxue (Disguised as Xue Qinghe)

Ye Qiong’s interaction with the Heaven Dou Crown Prince (secretly the Saintess Qian Renxue) was brief but tense. She visited Omphalos Academy to recruit him as a staff member, offering generous resources and political influence. Ye Qiong declined, citing his commitment to his students and the academy. The exchange was polite but underscored Qian Renxue’s cunning and Ye Qiong’s refusal to be swayed by external offers 41.

Ning Fengzhi and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect Elders

Ye Qiong maintained a respectful and familial bond with his uncle Ning Fengzhi and the sect’s titled Douluo, Chen Xin and Gu Rong. Ning Fengzhi expressed pride in Ye Qiong’s growth, and the two sparred in a friendly competition to test his strength 41. Ye Qiong also honored Ning Fengzhi’s past kindness, notably sparing Ning Rongrong despite her provocations, and accepting the annulment of the marriage contract without rancor 2 42. Chen Xin and Gu Rong treated him with competitive respect, eager to measure his abilities 41.
