Background / History
Su Xianling comes to the Nott City Spirit Hall branch while continuing her own training. The branch head asks her to instruct the newly recruited Chu Heng. Because she cannot formally accept an apprentice while her training is unfinished, she instead agrees to be his “big sister” and tests his resolve before taking responsibility for him 6.
She develops his physical conditioning, meditation, close combat, and ranged fighting. She also takes him into the Soul Hunting Forest, where she alternates between letting him survive independently and helping him search for suitable Spirit Rings 8 12 14 23 29. At the branch, she handles local requests and investigates the apparent diversion of restricted Spirit Hall crossbows after one is used in an attack at Nott Junior Soul Master Academy 31 34 35 36.
After Chu Heng obtains his second Spirit Ring, Su Xianling brings him to Spirit City and recommends him to her teacher, Guang Ling Douluo. Guang Ling accepts Chu Heng as a disciple but delegates much of his instruction to her. Shortly afterward, Su Xianling reaches level sixty, and Guang Ling takes her to seek her sixth Spirit Ring 40 43 45 47 48.

Personality
Su Xianling is playful and demanding with Chu Heng, often teasing him while setting difficult exercises. Although colleagues at the Nott City branch regard her as cool toward them, Su Yuntao describes her handling of important affairs as capable and fair 7 37.
She takes Chu Heng’s safety seriously without removing every risk from his training. She watches over his forest survival exercises, searches for him when he disappears, and respects his privacy when she notices techniques he has not explained 16 21 22. She also believes Soul Masters should help ordinary people rather than look down on them 31.
