Background / History

Ling Luocheng is an Inner Courtyard disciple of Shrek Academy and one of the current Shrek Seven Monsters. She comes from the resource-rich Ling Family of Extreme North City, whose position and access to northern resources helped produce both her and Ling Feng as talented ice-attribute soul masters. 1 2

She personally accompanied Ling Feng across the Heaven Soul Empire to enroll at Shrek Academy. Although she normally maintains a distant demeanor toward strangers, she ensured his enrollment was handled and worried over his welfare when academy business forced her to leave him temporarily. 2

Before Ling Feng revealed his Ultimate Ice, Ling Luocheng had repeatedly been asked to suppress Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire with her ice attribute. The process damaged her cultivated soul power and injured her on two occasions, with her worst recovery taking a week. Yan Shaozhe ultimately promised that the academy would no longer ask her to treat Ma Xiaotao's condition. 9

After Ling Feng moved into her Inner Courtyard residence, she supported his cultivation and soul-tool experiments. She later left on an Inner Courtyard mission, warning him at length to remain wary of Ma Xiaotao. 14 17 20 30

Appearance

Ling Luocheng is a cool, aloof beauty around seventeen or eighteen years old, with waist-length black hair and ice-blue eyes. 1

• Her usual expression and manner create an unapproachable, freezing impression around strangers. 2
• She wields a two-meter-long ice-crystal staff when fighting. 7
• Her private room contrasts sharply with her public image: it is decorated in pale pink, cartoon doodles, plush toys, and animal-patterned bedding. 19
• She owns cute pink pajamas and sleeps while hugging a body pillow. 30

Personality

Ling Luocheng is outwardly cold, proud, and blunt. She dismisses unwanted advances without politeness and is known for having little patience with people who approach her with ulterior motives. 2

Around Ling Feng, she is openly caring and intensely protective. She shields him from intrusive relatives, checks him for injuries after Ma Xiaotao grabs him, refuses to immediately release Ma Xiaotao from ice, and prioritizes his future over the academy's request for help. 1 7 9

She is also diligent and focused. Despite being distracted by concern for Ling Feng, she works through the night to finish a fifth-tier soul-tool core. Her private tastes, embarrassment, and jealousy when Ling Feng interacts with Jiang Nannan reveal a more girlish side beneath her composed exterior. 18 19 30

Abilities & Skills

Ice-Attribute Soul Power

Ling Luocheng is an ice-attribute control-type Soul King with refined theoretical knowledge of ice martial souls and strong battlefield control. 8

• Crosses Sea God Lake by freezing ice beneath her feet alongside Ling Feng. 17
• Her ice control is effective enough to restrict Ma Xiaotao despite the latter's higher cultivation. 8
• Cultivating with Ling Feng's Ultimate Ice improves her soul power and may gradually push her martial soul toward Ultimate Ice. 19 20

Ice Prison

Her third soul skill creates an ice prison that traps and restricts opponents. 8

• Sealed Ma Xiaotao in place and cut off her routes of retreat. 8
• Ma Xiaotao could crack the prison but failed to break it before Ling Luocheng's next attack landed. 8

Ice Mist Chill

Her fourth soul skill spreads dense frost mist around a target. 8

• Used in combination with Ice Prison to continuously strike Ma Xiaotao. 8
• Inflicts pain and reinforces her control, though it could not seriously injure a Soul Emperor-level Ma Xiaotao on its own. 8

Ice Radiance Ring

Her fifth soul skill gathers intense cold and freezes targets. 8

• While enhanced by Ling Feng's Ultimate Ice, froze Ma Xiaotao inside a dark-blue ice pillar. 8
• The attack was described as a ten-thousand-year soul skill used by a Soul King-level Ultimate Ice wielder. 8

Temporary Ultimate Ice Enhancement

Ling Feng can channel Ultimate Ice into Ling Luocheng, temporarily elevating the quality of her ice attribute. 8

• Greatly strengthened her fifth soul skill, allowing her to overwhelm Ma Xiaotao. 8
• Gives her the sensation of wielding Ultimate Ice, which she had long wished to possess. 8
• Is temporary; her own martial soul remains ice-attributed rather than confirmed Ultimate Ice. 8 19

Equipment / Items

• Ice-crystal staff — Her two-meter-long martial-soul weapon. 7
• Sea Spirit Ginseng — A precious mission reward she gave Ling Feng to restore his depleted spiritual power after he overexerted himself engraving a soul-tool core. 19
• Soul-tool room and fifth-tier soul-tool blueprint — Maintains advanced cultivation facilities and a workspace in her Inner Courtyard residence. 17 19

Relationships

• Ma Xiaotao — Fellow Inner Courtyard disciple and adversarial acquaintance. Ling Luocheng resents being harmed while suppressing Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire and fought her after she grabbed Ling Feng. 7 9
• Yan Shaozhe — Dean who formerly called upon her to suppress Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire. She defied his initial order to free Ma Xiaotao because of the danger posed to Ling Feng. 2 9
• Jiang Nannan — Accompanied her to the Soul Fighting Area when Ling Feng faced Xu Sanshi; both were concerned for Ling Feng's safety. 27
• Yao Haoxuan — An Inner Courtyard senior who previously pursued her unsuccessfully. 26
• Xixi — Fellow Inner Courtyard disciple, Shrek Seven Monster, and Soul King. 28
