Abilities & Skills

Nine-Heart Begonia

Ye Lingling possesses the Nine-Heart Begonia, a support-type martial soul described as one of the continent's finest group-healing martial souls. Its potential is considered comparable to—or greater than—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda if not for its inherited flaw 55.

• Provides group healing support for the Imperial Fighting Team 55.
• Makes Ye Lingling the team's primary auxiliary Soul Master 53.
• Is compatible with life-attribute soul beasts, including the Jade-Feather Thousand-Year Orchid proposed for her fourth soul ring 55.
• The martial soul's inherited curse has left only Ye Lingling and her mother as remaining Nine-Heart Begonia wielders in the Ye Family 55.

Equipment / Items

• Sleeve Arrow — A concealed weapon made for Ye Lingling by Tang San at Tang Chuan's request, intended to protect her when teammates cannot cover her 53.
• Godly Zhuge Crossbow — A second concealed weapon provided alongside the sleeve arrow for self-defense 53.

Relationships

• Tang Chuan — Her teacher and the Imperial Fighting Team's instructor. Ye Lingling develops feelings for him, confesses them, and asks him to accompany her in seeking a fourth soul ring 51 54 55.
• Tang San — Her team captain and Tang Chuan's son. He accompanies the journey for her fourth soul ring and recommends the life-attribute Jade-Feather Thousand-Year Orchid 55.
• Dugu Yan — Teammate and friend who pushes Ye Lingling to speak to Tang Chuan when she hesitates 54.
• Qian Renxue — A romantic rival for Tang Chuan's attention; the two exchange hostile glances after Ye Lingling's confession 54.
• Ye Lingling's mother — The only other remaining member of the Ye Family known to possess the Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul 55.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Imperial Fighting Team Recruitment

Ye Lingling is introduced as one of the Imperial Fighting Team's prominent members when Tang Chuan assesses the team at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Her Level 23 cultivation and Nine-Heart Begonia identify her as the team's support specialist 50.

Five Years of Growth

Tang Chuan refines immortal herbs into pills and distributes them to Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and the Shi Mo brothers. By the time of the elemental-academy exchange competition, Ye Lingling has reached Level 39 and is nearing her fourth soul ring 52 53.

Confession and Fourth Soul Ring Journey

Encouraged by Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling overcomes her shyness and admits her feelings for Tang Chuan. She then asks him to guide her in acquiring a fourth soul ring; Tang San joins their expedition to the Star Dou Great Forest and suggests seeking a Jade-Feather Thousand-Year Orchid 54 55.

Trivia

• Ye Lingling's veil conceals her blush from the rest of the team when Tang Chuan first meets her 50.
• The rest of the Ye Family are ordinary physicians in Heaven Dou City rather than Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Masters 55.
