Background / History
Leng Yaozhu belongs to the Leng Family’s main line and is the foremost heir of her generation. By the time she meets Li Qingyue, she leads the family and possesses its greatest individual strength. The family maintains an extensive villa district within Shrek City and is one of the Spirit Pagoda’s three core families 6 10 11.
During their studies, Leng Yaozhu and her younger sister, Leng Yulai, were accompanied by Li Qingyue’s mother, a girl from a distant branch who initially served as little more than a maid. Years spent together made the three close. Even after the sisters completely fell out, Leng Yulai specifically asked Yaozhu to look after their former companion 6.
Li Qingyue’s mother later left the family, had a child with an outsider, and was murdered while returning to the Leng Family. Yaozhu investigated for a long time without finding a useful lead; she only saw the woman’s remains after the body was unearthed. Her grief and unresolved responsibility shape her decision to help the surviving child 6.
Appearance
- Hair and eyes: Red hair and red eyes 5 79.
- Usual clothing: A red qipao, worn during her first meeting with Li Qingyue and again before her departure 5 79.
- Private clothing: Pale-purple pajamas while receiving her disciples at her Eastsea residence 48.
- Bearing: A strikingly beautiful face, a curvaceous figure, and a cool, composed expression 48.
Personality
Leng Yaozhu initially appears distant and emotionally restrained, barely speaking to Li Qingyue during their journey. Her reserve conceals complicated grief over his mother. As their relationship develops, she becomes warmer, accepts him as her disciple, and eventually treats both him and Gu Yue as family. Despite knowing that he possesses three extraordinary Martial Souls, she does not demand explanations about their origins 6 48 80.
Her loyalty can outweigh personal ambition: she refuses to surrender Li Qingyue even when Qiangu Dongfeng offers the resources needed for her long-delayed breakthrough. Nevertheless, her protection also relies on coercion. She threatens Leng Xiaoyue and her remaining relative to preserve secrecy, then uses control over Xiaoyue’s brother to enforce obedience. Her care for her disciples coexists with harsh methods of managing subordinates 8 11 12.
Abilities & Skills
Fire Phoenix Martial Soul
Her Fire Phoenix is a Super Martial Soul with potential scarcely inferior to the Qiangu Family’s Coiling Dragon Staff, although it lacks the staff’s generations of inherited techniques 8.
- Manifests a huge phoenix surrounded by scorching flames 8.
- Uses Phoenix Flame to intercept and destroy Li Qingyue’s arrows during testing 10.
- Releases its power to bar Qiangu Dongfeng from approaching the awakening site 8.
- Recognizes that Li Qingyue’s ancestral Phoenix can suppress her own Martial Soul and may possess Ultimate Fire; Ultimate Fire is not established as one of her abilities 10.
Super Douluo Cultivation
Leng Yaozhu is a Level 98 Super Douluo and Four-Word Battle Armor Master. Her strength provides Li Qingyue with protection far beyond the ordinary capabilities of Eastsea City 49.
- Shatters the enormous centaur-like projection produced during his awakening without harming him 7.
- Releases her aura to discourage experts approaching from multiple organizations 8.
- Flies Li Qingyue and Gu Yue back to Eastsea Academy under a fiery-red shield, completing in under three minutes a journey that took more than twenty minutes by car 51.
- Remains below Limit Douluo; the Qiangu Family’s two Limit Douluo and stronger institutional foundations prevent her from matching its overall power 8.
Martial Soul Assessment and Mentorship
She supervises Li Qingyue’s private awakening and evaluates his unusual abilities through controlled combat tests 7 10.
- Identifies the strength, homing behavior, defense-bypassing properties, and apparent recovery suppression of his arrows 10.
- Obtains the family’s inherited Fire Sparrow Soul Spirit, which is especially compatible with Phoenix Martial Souls 11.
- Supports his choice to study forging and secures an introduction to Mu Chen while avoiding the surveillance risks associated with approaching Zhen Hua 14.
Strategic Protection
Her position as family head and Spirit Pagoda deputy master gives her access to personnel, resources, and branch authority 12 48.
- Arranges concealed relocation, altered identification, housing, funds, and cultivation resources for Li Qingyue and Na’er 12 13.
- Takes control of the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda branch through her existing faction 48.
- Appoints Mo Qing to oversee the branch and assist her disciples after her departure 80.
Limit Douluo Breakthrough Requirements
Leng Yaozhu has been stalled at Level 98 for years because of insufficient foundations and a missing opportunity. Rare fire-aspected Spirit Grasses could help her break through, but obtaining them through her own connections is nearly impossible 11.
- The Tang Sect’s Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is identified as a likely source 11.
- Qiangu Dongfeng uses his access to these resources to restrain her advancement 11.
- She rejects his offer to supply the needed grasses in exchange for Li Qingyue; no Limit Douluo breakthrough is documented 11.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Four-Word Battle Armor — Her established Battle Armor rank; its name and individual properties are not provided 49.
- Black Mecha — Used for long-distance transport and her departure from Eastsea City 6 80.
- Storage Ring given to Li Qingyue — A valuable apprenticeship gift that can alert or summon her when he directs a thought and a trace of Soul Power into it 48 49.
- Spirit Grasses given before departure — A crimson lingzhi mushroom and a coiled, withered yellow herb, each more than fifty thousand years old, offered to her two disciples 79 80.
Relationships
- Li Qingyue — Distant relative, beneficiary, and eventual personal disciple. She initially helps him because of his mother, then takes responsibility for his protection and development. He remains grateful for her support while recognizing its strategic implications 6 47 48.
- Gu Yue — Personal disciple and Li Qingyue’s senior fellow disciple. Yaozhu asks the pair to support each other and entrusts both to Mo Qing before leaving 48 80.
- Leng Yulai — Younger sister. They have completely fallen out, but Yaozhu regrets the loss of her sister’s strength and presence within the family 6 11.
- Li Qingyue’s mother — Former study companion and close friend from a distant branch. Her unsolved murder leaves Yaozhu with grief and a sense of responsibility toward her son 6.
- Leng Xiaoyue — Secretary of more than ten years. Yaozhu trusts her cautious service but controls her brother’s safety and reassigns her as the children’s assistant and nominal guardian 12.
- Qiangu Dongfeng — Political rival whose interest in her is tied partly to her beauty and Phoenix inheritance. His unwanted attention disgusts her, while his control of rare resources obstructs her cultivation 8 11.
- Mu Chen — Contact through whom she arranges Li Qingyue’s forging education; she later names him as another source of protection for the boy 14 79.
- Mo Qing — Longtime subordinate appointed master of the Eastsea branch and caretaker of her disciples. Mo Qing later violates a surveillance agreement out of curiosity about Li Qingyue’s talent 80 82.
