Background / History

Bai Yao is Bai Luochen's only daughter and the sole current heir of the Bai Family. Her father, a Supreme expert, departed Dragon Nation on a distant mission; wanting to find him, Bai Yao was deceived into joining the Hell Guild. She used demonic potions to increase her strength, but the process made her half-demonic and left her cultivation unstable. Green Plum later cut away that unstable power. 115

Her association with the Hell Guild became the pretext for her own family to pursue her in the name of preserving its reputation. Luo Yan, her grandfather, was among those positioned against her, while Bai Luochen's inheritance became a central source of conflict. 114 138

Appearance

Bai Yao initially conceals herself behind a white ghost mask as the White-Faced Tiger-Head Ghost. When unmasked, she is described as exquisitely beautiful; her transformed forms replace that appearance with predatory features. 105

• In her corrupted transformation, black tiger stripes spread over her body, her hands become tiger claws, and she manifests a scorpion tail. 105
• Her improved White Tiger transformation gives her heel-length jade-white hair, black-and-white body markings, clawed hands and feet, and black lines at the corners of her eyes. 134
• She possesses a high-grade artifact capable of concealing both her aura and cultivation. 314

Personality

Bai Yao is proud, sharp-tongued, and easily provoked, particularly when Su Wuming brings up her defeat or treats her dismissively. She refuses to be sheltered by the Yan Family despite the danger surrounding her and prefers to face threats on her own terms. 121

Her experience with the Hell Guild leaves her deeply regretful and wary of manipulation. Ji Boxiao's abandonment destroys her former admiration for him, while her family's willingness to sacrifice her for honor reinforces her distrust of inherited authority. 106 114 119

Despite her hostility toward Su Wuming early on, Bai Yao becomes increasingly proactive in supporting him: she pays his protection fee, provides Source Dao Meridians, becomes his assistant, and supplies intelligence and protective resources. 148 272 Her relationship with him eventually becomes mutual and romantic. 317

Abilities & Skills

White Tiger Battle Soul

Bai Yao's original Battle Soul is the Grade-A White Tiger, an animal-type Battle Soul aligned with metal and slaughter. Her White Tiger is substantially stronger than the mutated Battle Soul she gained through the Hell Guild. 116 134

• Produces destructive tiger roars capable of killing Bronze-tier demon beasts. 116
• Supports both offense and defense, allowing her to suppress multiple Silver-rank opponents simultaneously. 133
• Releases Gengjin Sword Aura, which can cut apart large-scale water attacks. 134
• Fuses with her armor during transformation, forming a tiger-descending-the-mountain pattern. 314

Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Ghost Battle Soul

The Hell Guild's serum mutated Bai Yao's White Tiger into the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Ghost. While it temporarily raised her cultivation, the mutation reduced her Battle Soul from Grade A to Grade B. 116

• Manifested a scorpion tail capable of shattering slashing attacks and binding opponents. 105
• Enhanced her five senses, letting her predict and evade attack trajectories. 105
• Provided exceptional close-quarters durability; she could endure Su Wuming's Tempest Kicks and rebound a Rubber Bullet. 105
• The mutation was ultimately severed because its potion-based cultivation was unstable. 115

Beast Transformation

Bai Yao can absorb her Battle Soul into herself for a partial beast transformation, drastically increasing her physical ability, senses, and defense. 105

• Her initial Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Ghost transformation created tiger stripes, claws, a scorpion tail, and heightened predatory instincts. 105
• Her improved White Tiger transformation is more controlled and no longer destroys her clothing. 134
• The improved form lasts approximately two minutes and consumes her vitality; when it ends, her Battle Soul may collapse and leave her severely injured. 134
• In White Tiger form, she can destroy water dragons with a tiger roar and Gengjin Sword Aura. 134

Combat Capability

Bai Yao is an experienced close-range combatant who combines animal-type physicality with aggressive battlefield judgment.

• Threw Ji Boxiao aside rather than continue protecting him when he became a liability. 105
• Killed four Luo Family assassins as a warning against further disposable attacks. 118
• Retained enough skill after her cultivation loss to hunt demon beasts and assist Su Wuming during repeated assassination attempts. 116 134
