Gu Yiyi

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Gu Yiyi attended Azure River Ninth High School with Lin Yuan for three years. A celebrated martial prodigy, she reached the Marrow Cleansing Stage in only two years and later achieved Body Tempering Grandmastery and Flesh Perfection in her final year. Her results dominated the school, leaving most classmates—including Lin Yuan—to admire her from a distance 24.

Despite being expected to enter a prestigious Starry-Sky Martial Academy, Gu Yiyi abruptly took leave shortly before the June Joint Exam. She later revealed that her absence was caused by the awakening of her Thunder-Origin Immortal Body, a powerful Special Constitution that required extended seclusion 24 26.

After completing her awakening and becoming a Starry-Sky Warrior, she returned to contact Lin Yuan. She confessed that she had liked him since first seeing him and had worked toward becoming strong enough to stand beside him 25.

Gu Yiyi is the heir of the Gu Family, one of Azure River Satellite City's five great martial lineages. Gu Shuangshuang considers her the most talented person in their clan 47 69 70 76.

Appearance

Gu Yiyi is a petite, slender young woman whose delicate appearance contrasts sharply with her physical strength and battlefield presence. She initially meets Lin Yuan in a pink dress and later wears a pink lace combat dress designed for warriors 24 29.

• Fair, crystalline skin and long, straight legs 24
• Bright azure eyes, described as crescent-like when she smiles 24 25
• A soft, sweet voice and an outwardly obedient demeanor 24
• Uses a silver spear that becomes enveloped in golden lightning during combat 37
• Continues to favor pink martial outfits; at the Azure River preliminary selection, she wears a fitted outfit with silver patterns 69

Personality

At school, Gu Yiyi was aloof and solitary, with a cold detachment that discouraged others from approaching her. Her focus on martial arts and overwhelming academic performance made her seem distant from her classmates 24.

Around Lin Yuan, she is sincere, shy, and exceptionally direct. Though she knew his old comment about only marrying a powerful Starry-Sky Warrior was a joke, she took it to heart and gained the courage to confess after becoming one herself 25. She is also openly supportive of him, genuinely happy when she believes he has awakened a Special Constitution 26.

Her gentleness gives way to calm seriousness when discussing cultivation and to a cold, domineering presence in battle. She is proud of her talent and determined not to fall behind Lin Yuan, especially after witnessing his rapid growth 26 37 38.

After months of cultivation, Gu Yiyi becomes more poised in public without losing her warmth toward Lin Yuan. She celebrates his breakthroughs while treating his rapid progress as motivation to train harder 67 69 89.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Return and Confession

Gu Yiyi returns after months of seclusion and asks Lin Yuan to meet her near their former school. She confesses her feelings, initially asks whether he can “marry” her, and later directly asks to date him after explaining the feelings she had kept hidden since high school 24 25.

Revelation of Her Special Constitution

She reveals the Thunder-Origin Immortal Body and demonstrates its golden lightning to Lin Yuan. Assuming that he has also awakened a Special Constitution, she introduces him to the Star-Martial Prodigy Talent Development Program and its rewards 26 27.

Goddess Luo Squad Expedition

Gu Yiyi invites Lin Yuan to join the Goddess Luo Squad for an expedition into Minor Astral Realm No. 216. She guides him during travel and spatial teleportation, while the squad treats both of them as talented newcomers requiring protection 28 32 33.

As the expedition continues, she tempers four strands of Natal Stellar Force from a Golden Glazed Fruit, later reaches Second-Tier Transcendence Realm Perfection, and gains enough control over Thunder-Origin Dragon Spear to fight without immediately exhausting herself. Months of fighting also strengthen the squad's trust in Lin Yuan 47 49 50.

Rookie Trial and Contribution Competition

During her first Star Beast trial, Gu Yiyi kills an Earth Desolate Bull Beast with Thunder-Origin Dragon Spear. She and Lin Yuan each earn one Contribution Point, but their late entry leaves them near the bottom of the Azure River Regional Rankings, motivating her to hunt more aggressively 37 38 39.

After a month of hunting, Gu Yiyi rises to 155th place with 108 Contribution Points, temporarily qualifying for the top-160 preliminary selection. She later reaches tenth place with 1,024 points 48 66.

Farewell and Azure River Preliminary Selection

When Lin Yuan leaves the Goddess Luo Squad, Gu Yiyi accepts their temporary separation. Both place their pursuit of the Great Dao ahead of romance and hope to reunite at greater heights. Roughly two months later, they meet again at the Azure River preliminary selection 67 69.

Gu Yiyi challenges the third arena of the Ten-Direction Arena Battle and defeats Yun Feilong with Thunder-Origin Dragon Spear. She claims the third position among Azure River's Ten Elites, earning a place in the Central Imperial Capital competition 76.

Final Selection and Starfire Breakthrough

Gu Yiyi travels to the Central Imperial Capital with the Azure River team, reuniting with fellow Ninth High School alumni Lin Yuan and Chen Fan. At the Wordless Dao Stele, she comprehends a transcendent profound art and becomes one of the development program's 108 finalists. She then cultivates in the Spirit-Tempering Pool and breaks through to the Starfire Realm before returning to Azure River 78 86 90.
