Background / History

Ye Guyi belongs to the Angel Clan and identifies Qian Renxue as her ancestor. When she awakened her martial soul at six, her father taught her that an angel’s duty was to punish wickedness, promote goodness, and bring salvation. Although slaying evil grants angels Soul Power feedback, he emphasized that gaining power was secondary to that responsibility 34 35.

After capturing an Evil Soul Master, she learned that a hidden organization in the Sun Moon Empire was recruiting others like him. She traveled there alone to investigate and uproot it, despite knowing that revealing her Holy Angel could provoke relentless attacks from Evil Soul Masters 15 16.

Appearance

Ye Guyi is tall and well-proportioned, with a poised bearing and a face repeatedly described as pure and holy. Her arrival in Tianming City draws attention through both her beauty and her brilliant sacred radiance 13.

• Hair: Brilliant golden hair reaching her waist 13.
• Eyes: Golden 13 17.
• Wings: Pure-white feathered wings manifested through her martial soul 13 19.
• Combat radiance: Golden and platinum light, especially when releasing Holy Angel skills 14.

Personality

Ye Guyi is an earnest idealist who acknowledges fear without treating it as a reason to abandon her mission. She believes individual acts of goodness can encourage others to act, and angrily challenges the empires’ failure to provide free martial-soul awakenings for impoverished children 15.

Her hostility toward evil does not erase her concern for victims. When investigating Nana, she distinguishes a willing accomplice from someone forced into service: she would kill the former, but rescue the latter. After learning Nana’s circumstances, she rejects an offer of servitude and treats her as an equal and friend 34 35.

Her sacred bearing contrasts with a playful, sometimes bashful private manner. She bonds with Lin Qing over food, teases him about his manners, and becomes jealous of Meng Hongchen’s closeness to him. Her pride also drives her studies: rather than accept falling behind, she commits to tutoring and sustained practice 13 22 24 30 34.

Abilities & Skills

Holy Angel Martial Soul

The Holy Angel possesses a sacred attribute with purifying and dissolving effects. It descends from the Six-Winged Angel, which lost its divine status after Qian Renxue’s defeat and the shattering of her angel godhood 14.

• Anti-evil effects: Its golden flames destroy Nana’s Wraith attack and turn it against her 32.
• Soul Power feedback: Slaying Evil Soul Masters can strengthen Ye Guyi’s cultivation; she regards this as secondary to protecting others 24 34.
• Physical strength: Her admission test reveals strength and resilience far beyond her soul-power level, exceeding even Meng Hongchen’s physical performance 18.
• Cultivation foundation: Lin Jiayi records deep, substantial soul power surpassing that of ninety-nine percent of the academy’s students 20.
• Lineage limitations: Unlike the former Six-Winged Angel, the Holy Angel no longer possesses innate Level 20 soul power or the Angel Domain 14.

Documented Soul Skills

• First Soul Skill — Holy Light Illumination: Used alongside her golden sword to rain blazing light and piercing sword energy onto the Wolf Bandits 14.
• Third Soul Skill — Sacred Praise: Releases dazzling platinum mist from falling feathers as she advances against the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf Bandit 14.
• Fourth Soul Skill — Holy Light Spirit Array: Constructs a golden array of sacred light. The bandit leader’s Gale Combo Slash breaks through it; she later uses the same skill in the coordinated capture of Nana 14 35.

Aerial Combat

Ye Guyi combines inherited angelic flight instincts with years of training. Her aerial skill remains effective even while her martial soul is disguised and its soul skills are unavailable 19 32.

• Precision evasion: Adjusts her wings to pass through Tang Gang’s dense twelve-barrel barrage without being struck 19.
• Speed and afterimages: Appears in more than a dozen positions in rapid succession while closing on an airborne opponent 19.
• Close pursuit: Prevents Nana from escaping or establishing distance despite Nana’s Flying Soul Tool and acceleration skills 32.
• Air-to-ground pressure: Forces tournament opponents either to meet her in the sky or endure Aurora Sword attacks from above 34.
• Limit: Ye Yulin’s coordinated Stars Divine Needles and two Eyes of Fear seal every escape route, inflicting her first documented aerial defeat 44.

Bright Swan Disguise

An ancestral secret art conceals the Holy Angel as a Swan martial soul. Ye Guyi enrolls under the name Bright Swan, following Qian Renxue’s example of hiding an angelic identity 16 35.

• Preserves her wings, flight ability, and physical advantages 19.
• Allows her to fight primarily through soul tools without openly revealing her lineage 16.
• Requires her to refrain from using Holy Angel soul skills to maintain concealment 16 19.
• Bright Swan is a disguise, not a documented second martial soul; Lin Qing’s claim that she has twin martial souls is part of his teasing explanation to Nana 35.

Detection of Evil Energy

Her sensitivity to evil energy, described as an Angel Radar, identifies traces of an Evil Soul Master around Nana 31 34.

• Detects recent contact with Evil Soul Masters 34 35.
• Distinguishes Nana’s dark-attribute Ghost martial soul from an inherently evil martial soul 34.
• Recognizes that Nana shows no signs of cultivating by consuming lives 34.
• Does not establish guilt by itself; Ye Guyi investigates Nana’s allegiance before deciding how to act 34.

Swordsmanship and Soul Engineering

Ye Guyi specializes in soul-tool swords and close-range aerial attacks. Her combat ability initially exceeds her engineering knowledge, but tutoring and formal study improve both her theoretical understanding and fabrication skills 19 22 24 36.

• Platinum Storm: A spinning aerial assault that repeatedly damages Nana’s paired blades 32.
• Sunlight Radiance: Finishes her tournament match against Nana 32.
• Adaptive swordplay: Anticipates Tang Gang’s pole-vault trajectory in their rematch and cuts through his shield 34.
• Fabrication: Produces swords for both her entrance assessment and the Hongchen Class selection examination 19 36.
• Support tools: Constructs a thruster to improve bursts of flight speed after mastering the Aurora Sword 44.
• Developing specialization: Ye Yulin’s instruction gives her a direction combining natural flight with high-altitude soul engineering 44 46.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Original golden longsword — A self-crafted Level 4 soul tool used against the Wolf Bandits. Lin Qing criticizes its workmanship, prompting her request for a replacement 14 15.
• Aurora Sword — Custom-made by Lin Qing in fulfillment of that request. A peak Class 4 weapon judged to possess Class 6 combat power, with an approximately three-foot golden blade, ornate engravings, and a feathered wing-shaped handguard. Lin Qing gives it to her after admission and promises a free upgrade upon reaching Level 5 19 22.
• Level 4 Soul Tool Thruster — Made during a classroom exercise to enhance flight acceleration; used during Ye Yulin’s aerial-combat trial 44.
• Zhanghua Garden — Shared home and operational base with Lin Qing. Ye Guyi pays much of its purchase cost, has her name on the deed, and takes particular interest in its underground facilities 16 17.

Relationships

• Lin Qing — Traveling companion, housemate, combat partner, and private tutor. She develops romantic feelings for him, though her first deliberate attempt at flirtation is mistaken for sarcasm. He considers her the first member of a team he intends to assemble 13 17 23 24 30.
• Ye Yulin — Mentor in high-altitude soul engineering. He recognizes her aerial talent, considers taking her as a personal disciple, and subsequently teaches her; a formal discipleship ceremony is not documented 32 42 44 46.
• Nana — Initially a tournament opponent and investigation target, later a friend and covert ally. Nana promises to protect her Holy Angel identity and contact other coerced Holy Spirit Cult servants 32 35.
• Meng Hongchen — Classmate, occasional teammate, and romantic rival for Lin Qing’s attention. Ye Guyi acknowledges Meng’s appealing personality despite her jealousy 30 34 44.
• Lin Jiayi — Admissions evaluator who identifies her potential to become both a Titled Douluo and a Level 9 Soul Engineer 20 21.
• Shangguan Ying’er — Caravan organizer who helps secure her residency and attempts to recruit her into the Ordinary Alliance. Ye Guyi declines the invitation alongside Lin Qing 13 15 17.
• Father — Taught her the Angel Clan’s moral responsibilities when she awakened her martial soul at six 34.
• Qian Renxue — Ancestor whose example informs her decision to conceal the Holy Angel beneath another martial-soul identity 35.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Caravan Escort and Settlement in Mingdu

Ye Guyi joins the Ordinary Commerce Association’s caravan as a Rank 45 guard. She and Lin Qing become acquainted after escaping the other travelers’ attention and sharing meat-filled shaobing. During the Wolf Bandit attack, their aerial intervention saves the caravan, although Lin Qing delivers the decisive blow against its mutated leader 13 14.

She refuses a share of the leader’s soul bone because its attributes do not suit her and she could not defeat it herself, requesting a custom sword instead. After reaching Mingdu, the pair obtain permanent residency, refuse recruitment into the Ordinary Alliance, and establish their shared base at Zhanghua Garden 15 17.

Academy Admission and Hongchen Class Selection

Disguised as a Bright Swan wielder, Ye Guyi defeats fifth-year Tang Gang in the grade-skipping assessment and enters Class 1, Year 5. Advanced theory exposes gaps in her engineering education, leading her to study with Lin Qing and accept private tutoring 19 21 22 24.

In the selection tournament, she defeats Nana and Tang Gang, reaches the top sixteen through the Winners’ Bracket, and credits tutoring with helping her answer ninety percent of the theory paper. She forfeits her semifinal against Lin Qing and finishes fourth overall, earning a place in the inaugural Hongchen Class 32 34 36 39 43.

Investigation of the Holy Spirit Cult

After detecting evil energy around Nana, Ye Guyi and Lin Qing stage a battle between a Holy Angel and an apparent Evil Soul Master. Nana intervenes to protect the angel, demonstrating that she is not a willing supporter of the cult 34.

Their subsequent questioning reveals that the Holy Spirit Cult holds Nana’s parents’ souls captive. Ye Guyi apologizes for the deception and promises opposition to the cult, while admitting that she is not yet strong enough to rescue them. Nana agrees to recruit other coerced servants for future cooperation from within 35.

High-Altitude Training and Field Examination

During Ye Yulin’s practical lesson, Ye Guyi leads a team with Meng Hongchen and Keke. She continues fighting after both teammates are eliminated, destroying several Stars Divine Needles before the combined barrage traps her. The defeat reveals the potential of combining Holy Angel flight with specialized aerial soul tools, and she accepts Ye Yulin’s offer of instruction 44.

By the end of the school year, she has become a capable Level 4 Soul Engineer. Her final-examination group includes the Hongchen siblings, Nana, and Lan Xiu under Elder Ma. Their assignment is to test a concealed mining tool near Corona City and the Iron Sea, where the Iron Sea Dragon Emperor obstructs mining operations 46.
