Background / History
Su Qingxue claims to have returned from eighty years in the future, where humanity ultimately lost Blue Star to Ferocious Beasts. Before her capture by the Northwest Military Region, she predicted five unrelated global events with complete accuracy, forcing the military to take her intelligence seriously. She warns Nie Dingguo that Spiritual Energy Revival will mutate plants and animals into Ferocious Beasts and that humanity's final refuge will eventually fall to an Eighth-Tier beast. 1 2
Although she retained the cultivation experience of a Late Fifth-Tier martial artist from her previous life, Su Qingxue returned to an era with extremely sparse spiritual energy. At the beginning of the story, she has only just entered the First-Tier Early Stage. 2 11
After gaining the military's trust, Su Qingxue trains elite soldiers in the Basic Breathing Technique. The trial makes clear that the pre-revival environment and individual aptitude severely limit cultivation; only one of one hundred elite soldiers produces even a fleeting response. She therefore provides the military with a list of future martial arts geniuses and identifies Lin Yuan as the most important recruit. 2 3
She becomes Lin Yuan's first martial arts instructor, gives him strategic knowledge from her former life, and directs his training in cultivation arts and combat techniques. Her brutal live-combat lessons force Lin Yuan to confront the gap between raw physical ability and real battlefield experience. 5 11 14 16
Following Spiritual Energy Revival, Su Qingxue fights in frontline operations, helps secure strategic resources, and contributes her remembered knowledge to military planning and martial arts research. Her merit at the Taihang Mountains War Zone earns her promotion to major general and appointment as chief advisor of the Dragon Country Martial Arts Research Institute. 47 53 87
Appearance
Su Qingxue is a young woman with a cool, striking appearance and an austere military bearing. Her presence is frequently described as cold, sharp, and composed, though her past-life memories can expose moments of fear, grief, or strain. 1 8 46
- Often wears a training uniform, black combat uniform, or major general's uniform. 2 14 46 52
- Has cold eyes and a voice compared to shattering ice. 5 14
- Her combat intent carries the oppressive aura of someone who fought through “mountains of corpses and seas of blood.” 14 15
- Is described as being in her twenties when promoted to major general. 47
Personality
Su Qingxue is pragmatic, disciplined, and difficult to intimidate. During her initial detention, she refuses to waste time explaining herself to low-ranking interrogators and demands to speak with a senior commander capable of acting on her warnings. 1
Her knowledge of humanity's future defeat gives her a grim sense of urgency. She does not romanticize martial cultivation or war: in her view, martial artists must learn to kill before Ferocious Beasts kill them. This conviction drives her harsh instruction of Lin Yuan and the military's elite soldiers. 2 14 16
Despite her severity, Su Qingxue consistently prioritizes humanity's survival over pride or personal ambition. She refuses to compete with Lin Yuan, recognizing that his exceptional growth improves Dragon Country's chance to survive. 22 64
Abilities & Skills
Reborn Knowledge
Su Qingxue possesses memories from a future eighty years ahead, including the early history of Spiritual Energy Revival, major Beast Tides, future martial artists, heavenly treasures, cultivation resources, and fragments of future technology. 1 2 8 53
- Predicted five global events three months in advance, all of which occurred exactly as stated. 1
- Provided the military with a roster of future martial arts geniuses, enabling their early recruitment. 2 8
- Warned Dragon Country about the seven major Beast Tides expected during the initial disaster, including the threat to Shu Capital. 20
- Identifies heavenly treasures and knows advanced applications for items such as Blood Abyss Bodhi and Earthspirit Jade Marrow Flower. 53 94
- Her future knowledge is increasingly unreliable because her rebirth and Dragon Country's early preparations have created a major butterfly effect. 83
Martial Arts Instruction
Su Qingxue is an experienced instructor who teaches the Basic Breathing Technique, explains martial ranks, and guides martial artists in cultivation-art selection and combat training. 2 6 11 12
- Explains that First Order is Skin Tempering and Second Tier is Flesh Tempering, with true qi able to leave the body at the latter stage. 6
- Recommends martial techniques according to a fighter's practical needs rather than simply their tier. 11 12
- Trains Lin Yuan through lethal-intent sparring, forcing him to develop timing, evasion, force application, and combat mentality. 14 16 17
- Oversees the instruction of military martial artists as chief instructor. 21
Cultivation Arts and Formulas
In her former life, Su Qingxue mastered a substantial collection of cultivation arts, including one Sixth-Tier, two Fifth-Tier, three Fourth-Tier, five Third-Tier, four Second-Tier, and three First-Order arts. 11
- Her strongest documented cultivation art is the Sixth-Tier Heavenly Dipper Qi Refining Formula. 11
- She obtained the formula as a Fourth-Tier martial artist in her previous life and needed five years to barely cultivate it successfully. 11
- She can explain the formula's layered progression and guide others through its early cultivation. 12
Battlefield Combat
Su Qingxue's greatest advantage in battle is her experience. Even while physically inferior to Lin Yuan at the Mid First Rank, she overwhelms him through superior killing intent, timing, technique, and tactical judgment. 14 15 16
- Killed three Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts and more than one thousand First-Order Ferocious Beasts at the Taihang Mountains War Zone. 47
- Uses precise attacks against vital weaknesses; as an Early Third-Tier martial artist, she can kill Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts by severing their carotid arteries with a short blade. 65
- Leads extraction teams and orders tactical retreats when opponents exceed the team's ability to defeat safely. 77
- Cannot easily overcome beasts strengthened by unusually dense spiritual-energy environments; her sword could not damage the Forest Python's scales. 77
Ferocious Beast Frenzy Technique
Su Qingxue knows a secret technique that releases a special mental frequency to interfere with Ferocious Beasts' brain waves within a ten-kilometer radius. 60
- Forces affected beasts into a frenzy and strips away their reason. 60
- Lasts for only three minutes. 60
- Instantly drains her true qi and leaves her weakened to near-normal human condition for three days. 60
- She uses it to force a Third-Tier Giant King Squid and hundreds of Second-Tier sea beasts to surface, allowing Lin Yuan's team to engage them. 60
Research and Resource Development
Su Qingxue applies future knowledge to Dragon Country's research programs, though she admits that her technical knowledge is often incomplete because her former-life role was primarily frontline combat. 46
- Assists the development of a Spirit Gathering Array that increases local spiritual-energy concentration to roughly three times normal levels. 52 53
- Knows that Blood Abyss Bodhi should be processed with twenty-eight mutated herbs into Breakthrough Fluid rather than eaten raw. 53
- Identifies the formula for Marrow-Cleansing Elixir, which can guarantee a Peak Third-Tier martial artist's entry into the Fourth-Tier Organ-Tempering Realm within three days. 94
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Short blade — Used for precise close-quarters kills against Ferocious Beasts. 65
- Longsword — Used during the Spirit-Gathering Primordial Stone mining operation against the Forest Python. 77
- Breakthrough Fluid — A Blood Abyss Bodhi-derived medicine used to propel her from Peak Second Tier to Early Third Tier. 64
- Spirit Gathering Array — A research-developed formation she helps introduce to increase spiritual-energy concentration for cultivation. 52 53
Relationships
- Lin Yuan — Student and Dragon Country's principal hope. Su Qingxue recruits him based on his former-life potential, trains him harshly, and later works beside him as a strategic partner. 3 14 16 60 64
- Nie Dingguo — Early military ally and commander who takes her warnings seriously after witnessing her strength; together they organize the early martial arts recruitment program. 1 2 8
- Elder Zhan — Senior military leader who relies on her intelligence, resource knowledge, and research expertise. 53 64 87
- Old Li — Research director who collaborates with her on martial arts research and frequently seeks technological details from her former life. 11 46 52
- Chu Tiankuo — Fellow martial artist who fights under her command during the operation to mine Spirit-Gathering Primordial Stones. 77
- Ye Qingshan and Song Qingyin — Future powerhouses recruited using her intelligence; later accompany her and Lin Yuan in military and cultivation matters. 8 80
Story Role / Major Arcs
Rebirth and Military Recruitment
Su Qingxue enters the Northwest Military Region as a detained prophet whose verified predictions and impossible martial strength force the military to hear her warnings. She establishes the threat of Spiritual Energy Revival and starts Dragon Country's early preparations. 1 2
Training Lin Yuan
She identifies Lin Yuan as the overlooked future hero whose past-life growth was cut short at Peak Second Order. As his instructor, she equips him with the Basic Breathing Technique, the Heavenly Dipper Qi Refining Formula, Third-Order martial techniques, and live-combat experience. 3 5 11 12 16
Spiritual Energy Revival and Beast Tide Defense
Su Qingxue directs military preparations, warns high command about the coming Beast Tides, and advances alongside the crisis. She later earns major-general rank for her combat achievements and becomes chief advisor to the Martial Arts Research Institute. 20 21 47
Research Institute and Heavenly Treasure Operations
In Imperial Capital, Su Qingxue becomes a key bridge between future knowledge and present-day research. She helps develop the Spirit Gathering Array, identifies the Blood Abyss Bodhi's proper use, and supports missions to secure strategic heavenly treasures and Spirit-Gathering Primordial Stones. 46 52 53 73 77
Third-Tier Breakthrough and National Defense
After using Breakthrough Fluid to reach Early Third Tier, Su Qingxue becomes capable of inspecting military districts and sharing the burden of national defense previously carried largely by Lin Yuan. She continues to coordinate intelligence, resource acquisition, and advanced medicine research as Dragon Country prepares for greater threats. 64 87 94
Trivia
- Su Qingxue's first public proof of martial power is the destruction of a solid pig-iron interrogation table with a bare-handed palm strike. 1
- She views herself as a “pathfinder” who passes on the spark rather than humanity's sole savior. 22
- The pressure of being reborn is not purely advantageous: researchers repeatedly surround her for technological information she only remembers in fragments. 46
- Her return has altered history enough that even the locations and emergence times of heavenly treasures can no longer be treated as certain. 83
