Background / History

Sun Yiying possesses the rare Spirit Awakening Physique, which gives her an extraordinarily high rate of energy absorption and no natural cultivation bottlenecks before the Card God level. Her teacher Yan Jinmian placed immense expectations on her potential. 195

Two years before Tang Jian learned the full truth, Sun Yiying joined Jinghua's B43 Celestial Pit assessment to rescue captured “enlightened commoners.” A shaman ambushed the group and poisoned her with Descent Evil Poison; after senior students covered her escape, she was found by rescuers days later. The poison had already penetrated her marrow, blood, and cells. 314

While recovering, she returned to her hometown and became a temporary instructor at Xicheng No. 1 High School. Despite her injury, she remained focused on teaching rather than the attention of her colleagues. 17

Appearance

Sun Yiying is consistently depicted as an elegant young woman with refined features, a graceful figure, and long hair. Even in simple clothing, her dignified bearing makes her stand out in a crowd. 128 259

• Often wears dresses, skirts, or simple flat shoes during civilian life. 128 259
• Has a calm, gentle expression and a recognizable orchid-like fragrance. 259
• Wore a military uniform during her later frontline service, giving her a more heroic appearance. 517

Personality

Sun Yiying is kind-hearted, principled, and deeply committed to her students. She respects Tang Jian's privacy despite suspecting that he has hidden secrets, choosing not to exploit his trust or pressure him for answers. 19 24

She is also independent and self-respecting. Even after her injuries hindered her cultivation, she refused to become merely someone protected by Tang Jian; she continued researching Cards, cultivating, and seeking ways to share his burdens. 313 449

Her compassion can lead her to self-sacrifice. She aggravated her own old injuries while rescuing Tang Yueyue from the Old Kingdom Organization, then concealed the severity of her condition so Tang Jian would not feel obligated to help her. 87 195

Abilities & Skills

Spirit Awakening Physique

Sun Yiying's special physique allows her to absorb energy substances and medicinal nutrients at an exceptional rate.

• Her energy absorption was compared to Tang Jian's at a ratio of roughly 100-to-1 after her toxins were expelled. 317
• She has no inherent cultivation bottleneck before the Card God level. 195

• The process enabled her Life Force to break through 100. 317
