Background / History

Cui Yajie entered Shrek Academy as a Class One student with a Rank 25 Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul. She initially served on Dai Huabin’s team, habitually standing behind him and accepting the belief that her martial soul was only suited to support work. Dai treated her as a useful tool rather than an equal teammate, leaving her without guidance or a clear cultivation path. 11 15

Huo Chen recognized that her martial soul possessed a dormant Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox bloodline. He explained that her ancestors had sealed the bloodline to prevent her body from being overwhelmed before it was ready, and that its true potential went far beyond charm and illusion. He offered to awaken it using a drop of essence blood from a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox God King, but required Cui Yajie to first choose her own path and strengthen her foundation. 15

Taking his advice, Cui Yajie left Dai Huabin’s team and joined Ning Tian and Wu Feng. The trio became a stable unit during the freshman assessment, ultimately reaching the final against Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao. Cui Yajie was later named a core disciple alongside Ning Tian and Wu Feng. 20 23 24

Over the following months, her bloodline progressed to a fully activated first tail and Rank 38. She subsequently became one of the seven girls selected to compete for the Shrek Seven Monsters title, where her illusions served as a key flanking and disruption tool. 52 64 66

After the continental tournament, Huo Chen selected Cui Yajie as one of five students for Shrek Academy’s exchange program with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. He considered her Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul one of the outer court’s top-tier martial souls and personally led the group during its planned stay of at least half a year. 87

Much later, Cui Yajie reached Rank 51 but became unable to advance further. Seeking to evolve rather than merely repair her martial soul, she asked Huo Chen to give her the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox essence blood he had promised. Huo Chen used Reincarnation Divine Power to buffer and guide the dangerous four-hour fusion process, allowing the essence blood to merge with the core of her martial soul. 118

The fusion triggered an ancestral bloodline evolution. Cui Yajie’s nine tails became more substantial and lustrous, golden flames formed at each tail tip, and her soul power rose directly from Rank 51 to Rank 63. She resolved to become strong enough to protect Huo Chen. 118

Appearance

Cui Yajie is a beautiful, fox-like girl whose appearance reflects the natural charm of her Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul. She has long, curly pink hair, delicate alluring features, and amber eyes with slightly upturned corners. 11 15

• Long pink hair, described as falling to her waist. 15
• Amber eyes with an innate, fox-like charm. 15
• Her charm is a natural trait of her martial soul rather than a deliberately affected behavior. 15
• Her manifested tails are fluffy, pink-tipped, and later number nine. 72
• Following her ancestral bloodline evolution, faint golden flames burn at the tips of all nine tails. 118

Personality

Cui Yajie was initially cautious, insecure, and accustomed to following stronger personalities. She feared being left without a team and accepted Dai Huabin’s judgment of her potential because she believed she had nowhere else to go. 15

Huo Chen’s encouragement pushed her toward independence. She chose to leave Dai’s team, develop her own combat style, and stop defining herself as a mere support tool. By the time she joined the Shrek Seven Monsters team, she was playful enough to complain when battles ended before she had properly used her illusions. 15 65 72

Although normally relaxed and teasing, Cui Yajie can become notably earnest regarding her cultivation. Her Rank 51 bottleneck made her openly admit that she did not want to remain the weakest person at Huo Chen’s side, prompting her to seek the evolution of her martial soul. 118

Abilities & Skills

Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul

Cui Yajie possesses the Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul, initially classified as an agility-attack type. Its practical strengths center on charm, illusions, spiritual interference, and battlefield control. 11 15

• Creates illusionary mist that slows opponents’ reactions and disrupts skill activation. 21
• Produces false figures and sounds to misdirect pursuing enemies. 65
• Can cause opponents to attack empty space or mistake other teams for their targets. 65
• Disrupted the coordination of a sibling pair before they could use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 73
• Her illusions can be countered by opponents with sufficiently strong willpower or those able to see through them. 15

Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline

Her Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul carries a dormant bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. According to Huo Chen, a true Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox commands far more than charm and illusion, with power tied to the laws of heaven and earth. 15

• The bloodline was sealed by her ancestors to protect her body from awakening too early. 15
• Huo Chen possessed a drop of essence blood intended to awaken her lineage when her body and cultivation were strong enough. 15
• Her first tail was fully activated by the time she reached Rank 38. 52
• She later manifested nine tails in battle. 72
• At Rank 51, she fused with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox essence blood under Huo Chen’s protection, causing an ancestral evolution of her martial soul. 118
• The evolved bloodline made her tails more corporeal and lustrous, produced golden flames at their tips, and elevated her soul power to Rank 63. 118

Team Combat and Flanking

Cui Yajie is most effective in coordinated combat, where her illusions create openings for stronger front-line allies. 15 21

• Worked with Ning Tian’s enhancements and Wu Feng’s assault pressure during the freshman assessment. 21
• Operated on the flank in Tang Ya’s Shrek Seven Monsters formation. 65
• Interrupted enemy rear-line support during the final competition for the Shrek Seven Monsters title. 66
• Prevented Star Luo Royal Academy’s sibling pair from coordinating their Martial Soul Fusion Skill by pulling their consciousnesses into an illusionary realm. 73

Relationships

• Huo Chen — Her teacher and bloodline mentor. He identified her sealed Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox lineage, urged her to choose her own future, and promised to assist her awakening when she was ready. He later personally guided her fusion with Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox essence blood, evolving her martial soul. 15 52 118
• Dai Huabin — Former team leader. Cui Yajie initially followed him for protection, but he treated her as a disposable support tool and discouraged her from pursuing her martial soul’s full potential. 15
• Ning Tian — Teammate and friend. They formed a freshman-assessment team with Wu Feng and later competed together as core disciples. Both were also selected for the Sun Moon Empire exchange program. 20 23 24 87
• Wu Feng — Teammate and friend. Cui Yajie supported Wu Feng’s direct assaults through illusionary interference during their matches. Both were selected for the Sun Moon Empire exchange program. 21 23 87
• Tang Ya — Shrek Seven Monsters teammate and tactical leader. Tang Ya assigned Cui Yajie to flanking, disruption, and anti-fusion duties. 64 65 73
• Jiang Nannan — Shrek Seven Monsters teammate. Cui Yajie leaned on Jiang Nannan after their victory in the final competition. 66
• Wang Dong — Fellow Shrek Seven Monsters teammate who praised Cui Yajie’s battlefield illusions. 65

Story Role / Major Arcs

Class One and the Bloodline Revelation

Cui Yajie begins as an overlooked Class One student who relies on Dai Huabin’s team for belonging and direction. Huo Chen’s intervention reveals that her apparent limitations stem from an unawakened bloodline rather than a lack of potential. 11 15

Freshman Assessment

After leaving Dai Huabin’s group, she joins Ning Tian and Wu Feng. Her illusion mist helps their team secure an overwhelming early victory, and the three eventually reach the freshman-assessment final. 20 21 23

Core Disciple Growth

Cui Yajie becomes a core disciple following the assessment. Over the next three months, she fully activates her first tail and advances to Rank 38. 24 52

Battle for the Shrek Seven Monsters

As a member of the seven-girl team, Cui Yajie serves as a flank specialist. Her illusions mislead enemy teams during the melee, disrupt rear-line support in the final competition, and prevent opponents from establishing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the match against Star Luo Royal Academy. 65 66 73

Sun Moon Empire Exchange Program

Huo Chen selects Cui Yajie, alongside Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong’er, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng, for Shrek Academy’s exchange program with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. The program gives her access to a different cultivation and Soul Tool environment under Huo Chen’s direct supervision. 87

Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Essence Blood Fusion

After stalling at Rank 51, Cui Yajie asks Huo Chen to help her find the path forward. He gives her the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox essence blood he had safeguarded for her and uses Reincarnation Divine Power to safely integrate it into her martial soul. The resulting ancestral evolution advances her to Rank 63 and grants her nine golden-flamed tails. 118

Trivia

• Cui Yajie began as the lowest-progressing member among Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and herself, but her later advancement was described as solid. 52
• Her nine tails appeared visibly during a ten-second victory, though she complained that the battle ended before her illusion could properly unfold. 72
• Her fusion with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox essence blood raised her soul power by twelve ranks, from Rank 51 to Rank 63. 118
