Su Tingxue

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Su was discovered to have exceptional cultivation aptitude while attending a childhood summer camp at Mount Longhu. Dragon Tiger Mountain accepted her as an inner disciple, and she became a student of True Person Mu Yu 7 12.

Two years before meeting Zhou You, she descended the mountain as a confident novice and attempted to defeat Nuomi in the school’s Old Dormitory Building. Her glutinous-rice attack failed, and the defeat made her question her training. Later successes in subduing demons and driving away ghosts restored her confidence, but she continued thinking about Nuomi every day and trained toward a rematch 6.

At school, Su became known for both her beauty and academic results. Rumors attributed her changing luxury-car pickups to immense family wealth or a disreputable private life; the cars actually belonged to clients seeking her supernatural services. She normally commutes by bicycle and earns money through exorcism work, though she lives in a detached villa within a guarded residential estate 6 9 21 28.

Appearance

• Striking beauty: Attracts numerous admirers at school, including wealthy students; classmates still turn to look after knowing her for two years 6.
• Proud bearing: Walks with her head held high and an air that discourages strangers from approaching 6.
• Cool expression: Usually appears aloof and seldom smiles; her embarrassment during the classroom misunderstanding turns her face red to the ears 6 34.
• School uniform: Wears it even when accompanying Zhou and Chu on a supernatural commission 37.

Personality

Su is proud, disciplined, and intensely competitive. She acknowledges that her first loss to Nuomi was deserved rather than unfair, but refuses to leave it unresolved. Repeated defeats lead her to prepare more carefully, strengthen her techniques, and challenge Nuomi again; by their rooftop rematch, she can accept another loss without losing her composure 6 34.

Her cool exterior conceals generosity and loyalty. She supplements Zhou’s commission payment from her own pocket, shares bounty earnings, and guides him through the Cultivation Forum. She also protects information about his unusual spell when Duan presses her for details 29 54 58.

Su’s professionalism is less consistent outside exorcism work. While following Wang Chong, she tries to present herself as an experienced investigator, but Zhou recognizes that she has never tailed anyone before. She nevertheless accepts his insight with sincere gratitude, even though his cultivation is lower than hers 20.

Her rivalry with Nuomi tests that restraint: she responds sharply to the ghost’s taunts and briefly pretends not to see her to avoid engaging. Zhou’s rapid advancement also makes her feel competitive pressure and renews her determination to improve 68.

Abilities & Skills

Yin-Yang Heavenly Eye / Heart Eye

Dragon Tiger Mountain’s exclusive perception art derives from founding patriarch Zhang Daoling’s innate Yin-Yang Eyes. Su achieves a rare second evolution while still at Qi Refining 8 20 64.

• Ghost perception: Sees Nuomi and recognizes her Ghost Domain around a classroom 6.
• Heart-based awareness: Perceives her surroundings beyond ordinary physical sight after Zhou’s advice 20 34.
• Immediate foresight: Foresees the next instant, allowing her to anticipate attacks and place traps along an opponent’s route 80 100.
• Limits: Predicting an attack does not guarantee she can respond fast enough. During Duan’s breakthrough, Su can foresee her movement but cannot match her speed 80.

Talisman Arts

Su uses Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Talisman Art for attacks, restraint, scouting, and communication 9 20 79.

• Elemental attacks: Deploys Thunderlight, Yin Fire, Water Sword, and Wind Blade talismans, with additional variations created by combining them 79.
• Blazing Prairie Fire Talisman: Controls dozens of watermelon-sized fireballs at Qi Refining, far exceeding the ordinary number described for that realm 79.
• Binding and immobility: Briefly immobilizes Nuomi before Foundation Establishment; afterward, three Binding Talismans hold her firmly 34 100.
• Midair drawing: Creates talismans with her finger rather than relying exclusively on prepared paper stock 80.
• Traps: Uses an explosive trap and a Compressed Water Talisman to disrupt Duan’s pursuit 80.
• Paper constructs: Animates a folded paper scout and links both her sight and Zhou’s to it; also turns paper airplanes into temporary magical artifacts carrying messages 9 20.

Vital Yang Flame

A talisman-generated flame that can change direction after missing its target 7.

• Pursues Nuomi from behind after its initial attack fails 7.
• Becomes hotter after Su nourishes it with Spirit Stones 34.
• Despite that improvement, Nuomi remains fast enough to evade it 34.

Yang Thunder and Six-Thunder Cage

Su combines lightning attacks with foresight to turn an opponent’s evasions into a trap 99 100.

• Leaves six missed bolts primed instead of letting them detonate against the ground 100.
• Activates the Six-Thunder Cage once the bolts surround Nuomi 100.
• The cage multiplies their combined power severalfold and is dangerous enough to restrain a veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator 100.

Heavenly Gang Eight Trigrams Steps

Dragon Tiger Mountain footwork that builds momentum and suppresses evil spirits 6.

• Su measures each step while approaching Zhou’s desk, bringing her momentum to its peak before confronting Nuomi 6.

Exorcism and Supernatural Investigation

Su regularly accepts demon-subduing and ghost-catching assignments, and is the only Dragon Tiger Mountain representative in Chang’an 9 58.

• Case research: Traces abnormal traffic-accident statistics to a fatal collision and identifies a Veil-Eye Ghost as the likely cause 9.
• Ghost sealing: Supplies Zhou with a sealing talisman. Without its accompanying incantation, it requires the target ghost to be severely weakened 28.
• Passing on spirits: Agrees to help pass on a ghost entrusted to her by Zhou, expecting to perform the task around the Ghost Festival 94.
• Divine sense: Checks for nearby classmates before discreetly handing Zhou Spirit Stones 102.
• Limitations: Cannot initially handle the unusual Veil-Eye Ghost case alone; the Poverty Ghost also defeats her before Zhou resolves its case 9 28.

Equipment / Items

• Prepared talismans and yellow paper — Used for elemental spells, ghost sealing, restraint, and animated paper constructs 20 28 79.
• Spirit Stones — Cultivation resources that she also uses to nourish her Vital Yang Flame and as duel stakes 34 99.
• Mountain bike — Her usual school transport; lends it to Zhou while riding a shared bicycle during their first commission together 9.
• Phone and QQ account — Used to coordinate commissions, exchange cultivation advice, and arrange duels 13 33 98.

Relationships

• True Person Mu Yu — Master at Dragon Tiger Mountain. Su consults her master about Chu’s claimed origins, prompting research into the unfamiliar “Primordial Continent” 7 68.
• Zhou You — Classmate, commission partner, and cultivation confidant. She guides him through the modern cultivation world, while his relayed advice triggers her Heart Eye breakthrough. Rumors of a romantic history are misunderstandings, not an established relationship 6 12 19 20 29.
• Nuomi — Longstanding rival. Nuomi calls her a “rotten rice-thrower” because of their original encounter; Su repeatedly challenges her despite losing 6 7 34 99.
• Chu Xiaoyao — A source of both irritation and curiosity. Chu’s apparent lack of cultivation conflicts with the insight that helps Su advance, leading Su to suspect an extraordinary background 7 20 36 68.
• Duan Yuxian — Friend and competitive peer from the True Martial Hall. Their fanbases portray them as rivals, but they remain personally close; their friendly duel drives both toward Foundation Establishment 55 68 76 80.
• Zhao Cancan — Best friend and Class One classmate; informs others when Su has taken leave and keeps her aware of school gossip 8 9.
• True Lord Wenchang — Acts as an intermediary for his gift to Zhou, explaining the significance of the Ming King Body-Refining Art 21.
• Wang Chong — Persistent wealthy suitor whose jealousy leads him to hire students to attack Zhou over their rumored relationship 19 20 21.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Classroom Misunderstanding and First Partnership

Su enters Class Three after sensing Nuomi, mistakenly believing Zhou has been bewitched. Because the other students cannot see the ghost, her confrontation sounds like a romantic dispute. Nuomi then defeats her in the corridor by drawing out her deepest fear, and Zhou helps her recover 6 7.

Su subsequently recruits Zhou for the Veil-Eye Ghost assignment. Their work establishes them as partners, and she becomes his guide to cultivation realms, sect history, and modern supernatural threats 9 12.

Wang Chong Investigation and Heart Eye Awakening

Believing a jealous admirer may be responsible for Zhou’s attack, Su helps investigate Wang Chong. While following him, Zhou’s advice transforms her Yin-Yang Heavenly Eye. Her animated paper scout then exposes Wang’s planned ambush, though he later denies responsibility for the earlier attack by the Mind Master and Force Wielder 20 21.

Cultivation Forum and Duan Yuxian Duel

Su introduces Zhou to the Cultivation Forum and advises him on anonymity, currency, and purchases. His public support for her in a comparison with Duan draws hostile messages; Su recognizes the likely harassment and challenges Duan to a duel whose result will be public 29 33 54 55.

The duel showcases Su’s elemental barrage, midair talisman drawing, traps, and immediate foresight. When Duan begins advancing, Su’s own determination—partly driven by wanting to protect Zhou from further messages—triggers her Foundation Establishment breakthrough 79 80.

Renewed Challenge to Nuomi

After consolidating her new realm, Su arranges another rooftop duel with Nuomi and accepts stakes of five Spirit Stones. She combines foresight with the Six-Thunder Cage and strengthened Binding Talismans. The supplied account shows her successfully pinning Nuomi, but does not establish the duel’s final result 98 99 100.

Trivia

• Dragon Tiger Mountain recommends horror movies as courage training for its disciples. Su practices maintaining her Heart Eye even while watching them at home 33 34.
• She enjoys snack stalls and continues eating after Foundation Establishment, despite no longer needing food 60 102.
• Chu’s theory that Su follows a “Hundred Battles, Hundred Defeats” cultivation path is speculation; Su never confirms it 34.
