Background / History

Tournament Defeat

Hu Liena is one of Spirit Hall Academy’s three principal fighters alongside Xie Yue and Yan. In the tournament final against Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Tang Feng blocks her Fox Spirit Bewitchment with his mental strength and Blue Silver Domain. She then fuses with Xie Yue to unleash Demon Charm, concealing the arena in red mist and weakening Tang Feng’s domain 45.

Tang Feng counters the mist with Life Perception and disrupts the fusion through concealed vines, illusions, and an amplified attack. Dugu Yan restrains Hu Liena while Xie Yue is dragged out of bounds, leading Spirit Hall Academy to concede. Afterward, Bibi Dong proposes sending Hu Liena to Slaughter City with Tang Feng so that she can understand the gap between them 45.

Slaughter City Partnership

Tang Feng accepts the mission after negotiating resources and requiring Hu Liena to follow his orders, avoid independent action, and remain within his battle range. Hu Liena agrees, while also asking him not to abandon her or hide his injuries. They arrange to meet in Spirit City seven days later 46.

During the journey, they agree to live, train, and eat together but enter separate arena matches, since each match permits only one survivor. Hu Liena kills a hostile swordsman at the entrance tavern and helps Tang Feng defeat the black-armored entrance knight. She receives identification number 9528 49.

Their early victories bring repeated injuries and ambushes. Tang Feng treats Hu Liena’s wounds, while she begins tending his injuries and insisting that he not face danger alone. By roughly forty-five victories, they slow their match schedule to manage accumulating killing intent, using his Blue Silver Domain to calm their minds 50.

Hu Liena reaches fifty, sixty, and seventy consecutive victories while steadily improving her swordplay. By the ninetieth matches, “Demon Fox” and “Blue Silver Asura” are feared throughout the city. She completes her hundredth victory after a prolonged fight against nine opponents, qualifying to challenge Hell Road alongside Tang Feng 51 52.

Hell Road and Return

On Hell Road, Hu Liena guards their flank against blood bats and fights through regenerating blood longworms. Against the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, she exploits Tang Feng’s restraints and delivers the final thrust through its central head. They cross a mist-covered stone bridge and pass through a blood-red gate, acquiring Divine Slaughter’s Domain 52 53.

Weakened by the domain’s awakening, Hu Liena accepts Tang Feng’s support and asks to continue traveling with him after their escape. They leave Slaughter City together; she subsequently returns to Spirit City to report, while Tang Feng goes back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy 53 54.

Appearance

Hu Liena has long, dark red hair, which she wears loose or tied into a high ponytail. Her travel outfit emphasizes mobility, with a fitted top, short skirt, and long boots 46 49.

• Combat clothing: Dark red, form-fitting outfit with a black belt and a short sword at her waist 49.
• Formal clothing: Black long dress with fitted cuffs, worn after the tournament 46.
• Slaughter City clothing: Sometimes adds a black long coat over her dark red combat uniform 51.

Personality

Hu Liena is competitive and unwilling to let defeat define her. After losing to Tang Feng, she accepts a demanding partnership and works to improve the weaknesses he identifies. In training, she repeatedly challenges his refusal to acknowledge when she has gained the upper hand 46 49 52.

With Tang Feng, she is teasing, physically affectionate, and direct about wanting reassurance. She asks for explicit promises that they will escape together and insists that he recognize their victories as a shared achievement. Her jealousy surfaces when he mentions Huo Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, or Dugu Yan during intimate moments 49 51 52.

Her attachment does not make her content to remain passive. She wants to fight beside Tang Feng, monitors his exhaustion, treats his wounds, and objects when he tries to handle every danger himself 46 50 52.
