Background / History
Yu Shuyao is Yu Tianqing's wife and Yu Changge's mother. When Changge awakened with only half a level of innate soul power and an unusual external beast martial soul, she vowed to support him regardless of whether he could become powerful, even promising to save enough wealth for his future if necessary 2.
She actively supported Changge's training from the beginning. While Yu Tianqing handled close-combat instruction, Yu Shuyao prepared medicinal baths to restore Changge after exhausting training sessions and temper his physique; she also prepared soul beast meat to aid his cultivation 3 5. She understood the limitations of Xiao Huang as an external beast martial soul, particularly that it did not enhance Changge's body, and advocated obtaining a soul bone to improve his ability to survive danger 14.
During preparations for Changge's first soul ring, Yu Shuyao argued that a sub-dragon soul beast was the appropriate choice because Xiao Huang benefited from eating sub-dragon meat 12. She and Yu Tianqing accompanied him into Star Dou Forest. Yu Tianqing crippled and paralyzed the Radiant Holy Winged Dragon, while Yu Shuyao brought Changge into the clearing and stood guard as he delivered the killing blow and absorbed its ring 17.
After Xiao Huang evolved, Yu Shuyao affectionately praised it and stopped calling it a “little pig” after it protested; Xiao Huang responded by rubbing against her hand 18. She later brought Changge a light-attribute herb found beside a soul beast, helping lead the family toward the discovery of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well 27 46.
Yu Shuyao absorbed an immortal-grade herb that initially raised her soul power from rank 73 to rank 75 and strengthened her lightning attribute. She subsequently reached rank 76, gaining a realistic path toward becoming a Title Douluo 47 49 120. She and Yu Tianqing later became vice principals of Thunder Academy while continuing to cultivate in secret 85. The couple also fought together as Soul Saints against the Holy Light White Jade Dragon, allowing Changge to obtain its soul ring and External Soul Bone 61.
She later reached rank 80, joined the hunt in Thunder Canyon, and fought alongside Yu Tianqing and Yu Ming against high-age Thunder-Patterned Flying Flood Dragons 120 127. Her eighth soul ring raised her to the middle of rank 82 and granted Blue Lightning Meteor Shower 130.
After Yu Changge defeated Tang Hao, he sent her a twenty-thousand-year Diamond Demon Ape left arm bone through Gui Mei. Yu Shuyao and Yu Tianqing accepted that advancing their own strength was necessary to support their son, and she absorbed the soul bone 177. She later returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with Yu Tianqing and Yu Ming, where Yu Yuanzhen promoted her and Yu Ming to the fourth and fifth elder positions 247 251.
On Sea God Island, Yu Shuyao reached rank 89 during her trials and later became a Title Douluo. She and Yu Tianqing helped Yu Yuanzhen form a Thunder Soul Core, and she joined them in protecting Yu Ming while he refined a Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner pellet and absorbed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring 278 300 321. After reaching rank 92, she completed her Black-Level assessment and received a one-rank reward, advancing to rank 93 321.
Yu Changge later offered his parents and Yu Ming a roughly fifty-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca torso bone. They chose Yu Shuyao to absorb it because she had fewer soul bones than Yu Tianqing and it was less suited to Yu Ming's fire attribute. It granted her the defensive skill Whale Abyss Armor 315.
Yu Shuyao is supportive of Yu Changge's growing relationship with Bibi Dong. Upon encountering the two holding hands, she privately encouraged Changge and expressed that she liked Bibi Dong 245. She and Yu Tianqing later teased the pair for behaving like a couple during their time on Sea God Island 290.
