Dong'er

Biodata

• Not to be confused with Wang Dong'er: Dong'er is a player who discusses—and later directly challenges Huo Yuhao about—the separate story character Wang Dong'er 107 141.

Power Progression

Personality

Dong'er is outspoken, combative, and particularly hostile toward people who assume they can control others. She rejects Xu Tianran's recruitment because she dislikes him, openly threatens him despite his status, and treats the freedom to refuse quests or defy NPCs as a central pleasure of playing 94 95.

She can be considerate without becoming attached to the world's inhabitants. She apologizes to Orange and Keke after the Players destroy their Soul Guidance Device, offers them an escort, and advises Orange not to abandon her principles for revenge. Later, however, she says she would have blown Orange up alongside Xu Tianran if Orange had been present 63 95 104.

Her confidence rests partly on respawning and access to Health Potions. She describes herself as someone who plays for fun rather than an expert seeking restrictive challenge runs, and readily adopts a suicidal bombing strategy when survival is not required 94 96 102.

Abilities & Skills

Man-Faced Demon Spider

• Close-range combat: Uses sharp Spider Spears to threaten or stab opponents after closing the distance 92 93.
• Mobility: Dodges a soul engineer's ranged attacks while advancing into melee range 92.
• Evolution: Later becomes the Man-Faced Demon Spider Emperor; its additional capabilities are not shown in the supplied passages 140.

Spiderweb Binding

A restraining Soul Skill that wraps targets in sticky webbing 92.

• Binds the First Holy Son, allowing Qian Xunji to deliver the killing blow 54.
• Immobilizes an academy opponent long enough for Dong'er to place a Spider Spear against his throat 92.
• Limits: Passes through Ten Thousand Souls Douluo's disembodied soul and fails to restrain the Evil Eye Tyrant 74 88.
• Counterplay: Ji Juechen cuts the web apart with his sword; he also severs both of her attacking Spider Spears 93.

Player Mechanics

• Respawning: Regards death as recoverable and is prepared to self-destruct rather than submit to Xu Tianran 94 95.
• Mental-attack handling: Ji Juechen's Sword Intent registers as a slowly draining Health Bar debuff rather than incapacitating her. One Health Potion restores the lost health 92 93.
• Quest restrictions: Her death would still have failed the emergency mission to prevent Zhang Peng from abducting her 96.
• Communication and livestreaming: Consults other Players through their channel and broadcasts her meetings and infiltration for advice 94 102.

Deception and Infiltration

• Pretends to surrender to Zhang Peng, convincingly displaying resentment and reluctance while helping stall for the Players' counterattack 98.
• Uses a Concealment Cloak to enter the Crown Prince's residence and approach Xu Tianran with explosives. Xue Chen eventually senses her presence at close range 102.

Equipment / Items

• Soul bombs and explosives — Used to threaten Xu Tianran and later bomb him inside his residence 95 102 103.
• Concealment Cloak — Conceals her approach and prevents observers from recognizing her even after she reveals her position 102.
• Health Potions — Restore damage from Ji Juechen's mental attack; also underpin her confidence that Zhang Peng cannot easily wear her down while trying to capture her alive 92 96.
• Bibi Dong doll — Ends up in her possession; the Players consider using it to make a show of strength against a powerful enemy 86.
• Three-Word Battle Armor — Awarded to the Players after Zhang Peng's defeat. Wearing it reduces experience gained by 30%; Dong'er's individual combat performance in it is not documented 101.
• Xu Tianran's real-time coordinates — Reward for completing her exclusive quest, allowing her to find him regardless of where he hides 103 137.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Joining the New Tang Sect

Dong'er appears with the new players after the veteran Players' tournament victory. Tang Ya chooses her as a guide when returning to the sect. Dong'er shows her around and escorts her to the sect master's room, where Tang Ya becomes a New Tang Sect NPC 45 46.

Holy Spirit Cult Battles

• Helps defeat the First Holy Son by binding him when he attacks her 54.
• Encourages Ghost Nana to return to school after her parents' souls are freed 55.
• Continues fighting when Ten Thousand Souls Douluo enters his soul-only second phase, but discovers that Spiderweb Binding cannot affect him 74.

Academy Exchange and Xu Tianran's Interest

Dong'er wins several academy exchange matches, drawing Xu Tianran's attention to her Martial Soul's potential for cultivation as an Evil Soul Master. She then faces Ji Juechen, whose Sword Intent causes only manageable health loss, although his physical swordsmanship puts her on the defensive 92 93.

Orange brings her to a midnight meeting with Xu Tianran. Dong'er rejects his recruitment, threatens retaliation if he targets the Players, and displays a soul bomb. Xu Tianran apologizes and lets her leave, then secretly asks Zhongli Wu to deal with her 94 95.

Attempted Abduction

Zhongli Wu orders Zhang Peng to capture Dong'er alive, triggering Defend Your Companions, an emergency quest requiring the Players to repel him without Dong'er dying 96.

Dong'er feigns compliance to stall him, then stops and insults him. Zhang Peng loses his temper and launches a lethal attack, which Qian Xixi blocks. The Players ultimately repel him and receive substantial rewards 98 99 101.

The Crown Prince's Fear

Shrek Academy and Later Events

• Helps negotiate access to the Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Conference through Bei Bei, insisting that the Players intend to watch rather than participate 117 118.
• Defends Tang Ya after she rejects Bei Bei, warns him against further harassment, and returns to the Sect Base with her 124.
• Takes inspiration from a teammate's web-like vine movement, realizing she could explore similar applications for her own Martial Soul; no completed technique is shown 127.
• During the confrontation with Er Ming, tells Huo Yuhao that Wang Dong'er lacks her memories as Tang Wutong and questions whether she will remain the person he loves after recovering them 141.

Relationships

• Tang Ya — Sect master whom Dong'er welcomes into the base and later protects from Bei Bei's continued appeals 46 124.
• Qian Xunji — Fellow player and frequent sparring partner in conversation. Despite their mutual insults, they cooperate against the First Holy Son 45 54 68.
• Orange — Initially assists her, but becomes distrustful when Orange acts as Xu Tianran's intermediary. Orange envies Dong'er's freedom 63 94 95.

• Qian Xixi — Protects Dong'er from Zhang Peng's killing attack, preserving the Players' mission 99.
