Background

Luo Yi first met Xia Heng as an opponent during a mission with conflicting objectives. After discovering Xia Heng's teleportation, Luo Yi concealed a shadow clone within Xia Heng's shadow, allowing him to follow Xia Heng through teleports. Their repeated pursuit, joint troubles, and mutual rescues gradually turned them into close friends. 46

By Chapter 31, Xia Heng calls on Luo Yi to help protect Wu Zhong from mercenaries and the Mount Lu Ghost Gods. Luo Yi agrees despite the risk that giving Wu Zhong the First Embrace will replace his transferred mental illness with a random new one. 32

He gives Wu Zhong the First Embrace in the wilderness, transferring severe insomnia and enabling Wu Zhong's eventual Progenitor Transformation. Luo Yi receives an apparently mild, unspecified replacement illness; afterward, he is noticeably prone to drooling but remains mentally lucid. 35

During the Liongrass Mercenary Group ambush, Luo Yi pretends to be caught in Matsutake's illusion while using his shadow ability to observe Wu Zhong's fight and later intercept Unit 985's advance team. He clears Wu Zhong's trail after the battle, preventing pursuers from tracking him. 45

Personality

Luo Yi is confident, irreverent, and fond of needling others. He treats danger casually, whether dealing with mercenary pursuit, a drunk-driving checkpoint, or Xia Heng's guarded personality. 31 34 46

He is also observant and pragmatic. Luo Yi immediately recognizes that Wu Zhong's Mental Bastion makes him unusually compatible with the Madblood Clan, cautions him against carelessly using unknown traits, and clears his tracks after Unit 985 enters the area. 45 46

His most conspicuous vice is severe alcohol dependence. He drinks compulsively, treats cigarettes as drinking snacks, and considers weak beer insufficient to prevent withdrawal symptoms. 31 32

Abilities & Skills

First-Generation Madblood Clan Physiology

As a first-generation Madblood Clan member, Luo Yi gains physical enhancement by carrying severe mental illnesses.

• Five of his absorbed mental illnesses have reached severe levels, giving him at least six times an ordinary person's overall constitution. 34
• His cellular activity and immune system are estimated at roughly twelve times normal. 34
• His enhanced metabolism can process alcohol so rapidly that a blood test may show no alcohol despite an extremely high breath-test result minutes earlier. 34
• Reabsorbing a mental illness he already carries does not further strengthen him, but can restore his health; he states that absorbing several people with severe withdrawal symptoms can heal injuries. 34
• As a first-generation member, he can give others the First Embrace, but transferring an illness forces a random replacement illness onto him. 35

First Embrace

Luo Yi can initiate another person into the Madblood Clan by biting them and transferring a mental illness.

• He transferred severe insomnia to Wu Zhong, granting him an initial physique twice that of an ordinary person. 35
• His insomnia causes extreme sleeplessness and requires alcohol and anesthetics for him to sleep. 35
• A First Embrace may trigger Progenitor Transformation, turning the recipient into a first-generation Madblood Clan member. 35
• The process is dangerous to Luo Yi because the transferred illness is immediately replaced by an unpredictable new mental illness. 32 35

Shadow Manipulation

Luo Yi can split off a shadow clone, conceal it in another person's shadow, and exchange positions with his main body.

• His shadow once attached itself to Xia Heng, allowing Luo Yi to follow Xia Heng's teleportation and always know his location. 46
• He can blend into surrounding shadows and emerge as a humanoid silhouette, earning the title “Shadow Lord.” 45
• His shadow can ignore many forms of attack, though mental-power users can injure it. 45
• During the Liongrass ambush, he used his shadow to monitor Wu Zhong while his main body dealt with Unit 985. 45

Observation Haki

Luo Yi possesses Observation Haki, which prevents Matsutake's illusions from deceiving him.

• He feigned being affected by the illusion before leaving to observe Wu Zhong's battle. 45
• He can locate tracks, traces, and scents left by a moving person, allowing him to find Wu Zhong after the battle. 45
• He warns that Wu Zhong's attempt at concealing his trail was insufficient against capable trackers. 45

Armament Haki

Luo Yi can coat parts of his body in a glossy black membrane called Armament Haki.

• He uses it on his lower legs to keep pace with Wu Zhong's twentyfold physique. 46
• He can coat even a cigarette, keeping it intact in high-speed movement and strong wind. 46

Equipment / Items

• Cigarettes, which he continually smokes or chews. 31 34
• Alcohol, including baijiu carried in an apparent milk-tea cup while driving. 34
• Vehicles used during the group's escape, including a Mustang. 34

Relationships

• Xia Heng / Endless Summer — Close friend and former opponent. Luo Yi's shadow once made Xia Heng unable to escape him, but their repeated rescues developed into friendship. 46
• Wu Zhong — Grants Wu Zhong the First Embrace at Xia Heng's request and later monitors his fight to assess his abilities. He ultimately helps Wu Zhong evade Unit 985 by clearing his trail. 35 45
• Yang Chunsha — Travels with her as part of Xia Heng's group; he reassures her that Xia Heng is not merely threatening her after she learns Xia Heng's teleportation secret. 31
