Background

Hu Liena attended the Papal City's martial soul awakening alongside her brother Xie Yue and Yan. Nervous after several failed awakenings, she was reassured by Meng Xuanji's prediction that she would obtain a top-tier beast martial soul. Her awakening instead revealed the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox and innate full soul power, immediately establishing her as a Spirit Hall prodigy 1 2.

After the awakening, she resolved to protect Douluo Continent from Evil Soul Masters, whom she blamed for Meng Xuanji's orphaned circumstances. She eagerly accepted Bibi Dong as her teacher and was promised possible consideration as Spirit Hall's future Holy Maiden should she render sufficient merit 2 4.

Hu Liena became a target during the attack on Yangxin Palace. She was found badly injured by Bibi Dong, then saved from She Long's attempted bombing when Meng Xuanji enclosed them in a Blue Silver Emperor cocoon. Afterward, Bibi Dong invited both disciples to live with her for their safety 11 13.

She partnered with Meng Xuanji for the Star Dou Great Forest soul-ring hunt, promising that they would prioritize one another in future group activities. With his assistance—and through the painful Symbiotic Contract—she hunted and absorbed the thousand-year soul ring of a Jade-faced Thunder Fox 21 27 30.

Bibi Dong later named Hu Liena and Meng Xuanji as Spirit Hall's prospective Holy Maiden and Holy Son, assigning them to investigate a beast calamity near Papal City. During the Heavenly Spring Town mission, Qin Potian captured and tortured Hu Liena with Thunder Chains. She survived the incident and returned with Meng Xuanji after their mission earned full marks and thirty trial points apiece 40 55 61.

Appearance

Hu Liena is introduced as a naturally beautiful young girl with an innate, bewitching fox-like charm even before her martial soul awakens 1.

• Her martial soul manifests as a seductive fox surrounded by pink mist and nine long white tails 2.
• When using beast-martial-soul possession, illusory tails appear behind her; one tail had solidified after obtaining her first soul ring 35.
• Her Jade-Faced Exquisite skill can transform her appearance into that of a copied target 44.

Personality

Initially timid and anxious about failing her awakening, Hu Liena quickly becomes proud of her talent and devoted to Spirit Hall after receiving Bibi Dong's recognition. She is strongly opposed to Evil Soul Masters and is willing to kill Yan herself if he becomes one and harms the continent 1 2 25.

Hu Liena is direct and proactive in her relationships. She invites Meng Xuanji to form a team, openly defends him when others ridicule his soul ring, and physically defeats students who attack him 21 34 35. She also has a playful, affectionate side, particularly when listening to his stories or teasing him 23.

Her trust in Meng Xuanji is repeatedly tested. She accepts his help despite the pain and controlling effects of the Symbiotic Contract, becomes unsettled after discovering the Ice Soul Ghost Shadow, and later grows openly affectionate toward him after the Heavenly Spring Town mission 27 29 42 61.

Abilities & Skills

Nine-Tailed Fox

Hu Liena possesses the Nine-Tailed Fox, a legendary divine-beast martial soul awakened with innate full soul power 2.

• Uses beast-martial-soul possession to enhance herself in combat 35.
• Possesses high spiritual awareness and mental power 35.
• Is naturally suited to learning and imitating compatible soul-beast abilities 35.
• Her nine tails represent the martial soul's growth potential; all nine are expected to fully manifest at the Titled Douluo realm 35.

Jade-Faced Exquisite

Her first soul skill originates from the thousand-year Jade-faced Thunder Fox 30 44.

• Allows her to copy another person's martial soul and appearance 44.
• Can reproduce compatible soul skills, as shown when she copied Qin Xiao's Thunderbolt Hammer and Thunderclap Hammer 44.
• Copied martial souls begin at sixty percent of the original user's base attributes, but may grow closer to—or exceed—the original based on spiritual-power differences 44.
• Her copied Jade-faced Thunder Fox techniques include Violet Lightning and Violet Thunder Flash 35.

Symbiotic Contract

Hu Liena is bound to Meng Xuanji through his Symbiotic Blood Lotus's Symbiotic Contract 27.

• The contract links their cultivation, souls, and blood energy 27.
• It allowed her to borrow Meng Xuanji's soul power, helping her withstand the absorption of a thousand-year first ring 27 30.
• Meng Xuanji can mobilize her power and forcibly control her body through the bond; he used this control to make her kill the Jade-faced Thunder Fox 27 29.
• The contract process caused Hu Liena severe pain and left her fearful that something was entering her heart 27.

Equipment

• Defensive soul tool — Protected her from serious injury when the Jade-faced Thunder Fox dragged her into the Blue Silver Spike Array 28.
• Ring given by Meng Xuanji — Causes his Blue Silver Emperor to behave more gently around her, though Meng Xuanji warns that it also desires to consume her 33.

Relationships

• Bibi Dong — Teacher and Pope of Spirit Hall. Hu Liena eagerly became her disciple and was later chosen as her prospective Holy Maiden 4 40.
• Meng Xuanji — Teammate, close companion, and the person she increasingly trusts and loves. Their bond is complicated by his manipulation and the Symbiotic Contract binding her to him 21 27 29 61.
• Xie Yue — Her older brother. He reassures her before her awakening and supports her resolve to grow stronger after Yan's departure 1 25.
• Yan — Childhood companion and admirer. Hu Liena rebukes him when he threatens Meng Xuanji and later declares that she will kill him if he becomes an Evil Soul Master 2 25.
• Xiang He — Spirit Hall Soul Ancestor who recognizes Hu Liena's thousand-year first ring and addresses her as the future Holy Maiden 31.
• Qin Shi — Leader of the Star Dou soul-hunting squad who upholds Hu Liena and Meng Xuanji's first-place result 24 34.

Notable Quotes

“If Yan truly becomes an Evil Soul Master who harms Douluo Continent in the future, then I'll kill him with my own hands.” 25

Trivia

• Hu Liena's family secretly supplies Spirit Hall's logistics, including the ingredients used by its cafeteria and the cooks working there 23.
• She finds dense reference books and formal history difficult to read, but enjoys history when Meng Xuanji retells it as a story 22 23.
