Gu Yue

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Gu Yue is the Silver Dragon King cultivating anew in human form. Her present cultivation limits what she can display, but her retained foundation, elemental affinity, and techniques place her far beyond an ordinary student. At Eastsea Academy, she deliberately suppresses her performance to avoid attracting excessive attention 19 23 27.

Her entry into the Spirit Pagoda serves a concealed objective: gain influence within the organization, develop the Myriad Beast Platform, control the soul master world, and ultimately destroy humanity in revenge for the soul beast race. She approaches Leng Yaozhu through a fabricated background involving a powerful family secretly controlled by soul beasts 20 42.

Gu Yue's plans draw on influence the soul beasts retained after losing their former public position in the Spirit Pagoda. Rather than disappearing entirely, their forces withdrew into the shadows over the organization's long history 42.

Connection to Na'er

Na'er embodies the newly born human portion of Gu Yue's consciousness, while Gu Yue retains the consciousness carrying her original memories. Na'er receives her memories, knowledge, and thoughts, but the different origins of their consciousnesses remain significant 41.

Their telepathic exchanges contain private thoughts unknown even to Di Tian. After Jiang Xia claims that Broken Dream can accidentally intercept such information, Gu Yue makes their connection more concealed and becomes increasingly protective of the secret 38 41.

Appearance

• Ordinary features: Jiang Xia describes her face as regular and increasingly appealing with familiarity, rather than conventionally beautiful 20.
• Distinctive presence: Her unusual bearing and confidence make her stand out despite her unremarkable looks 20 29.

Personality

Gu Yue is guarded, proud, and calculating. She conceals both her identity and the extent of her abilities, allowing others to underestimate her. Jiang Xia's support appeals to her partly because it provides a credible explanation for exceptional performances she would otherwise avoid displaying 23 27.

She resents being continually suppressed by Wu Zhangkong's superior cultivation during training. Given an opportunity to challenge him effectively, she becomes unusually proactive in arranging support for her classmates and coordinating their strongest attacks 23 24.

Her cooperation with Jiang Xia combines genuine enthusiasm for improvement with practical self-interest. She offers elemental instruction in exchange for more effective assistance, uses Broken Dream to accelerate difficult research, and privately considers sparing his life because of his usefulness to her future plans 27 28 42.

Abilities & Skills

Elemental Control

Gu Yue commands water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space. Her approach relies on resonating with elemental power rather than forcibly binding it with Soul Power 19 27.

• Exceptional affinity: Elements naturally gather around her Soul Power. Jiang Xia cannot initially reproduce her Four-Element Vortex even after studying its techniques because his affinity is inferior 30.
• Combined attacks: Intertwines water and fire without simply canceling them out, uses wind to strengthen flames, and creates remotely detonated explosions 23 32.
• Defensive construction: Raises earthen walls to block attacks and protect allies 23 32.
• Elemental redirection: Reforms dispersed wind currents into flaming blades by drawing in surrounding fire elements 32.

Four-Element Vortex

Gu Yue perfectly fuses water, fire, earth, and wind into a compressed, explosive vortex. With Jiang Xia assisting its construction, the attack reaches Soul Ancestor-level output while she remains a Soul Grandmaster 25 26.

• Requires time to gather and compress its elemental power 26.
• Can suddenly accelerate before impact, disrupting an opponent's preparation 26.
• Can be repositioned through space to strike from another direction 26.

Spatial Control

Gu Yue manipulates spatial elements directly to perform teleportation 24 40 44.

• Transports Tang Wulin into close range so he can attack Wu Zhangkong 24 40.
• Teleports a vortex behind Wu Zhangkong during their coordinated assault 26.
• Uses Broken Dream's presence to conceal the extent of her own spatial ability 24 40.

Elemental Support

Her elemental control can strengthen compatible allies, although tracking their needs while fighting normally divides her attention 24.

• Supplies darkness-element support to help compensate for Zhang Yangzi's weakness in his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wang Jinxi.
• Can strengthen Xie Xie's light- and darkness-attribute daggers.
• Cannot provide a comparable elemental enhancement to Tang Wulin, whose demonstrated abilities lack a clear compatible attribute 24.

Cooperation with Broken Dream

Jiang Xia's Broken Dream acts as an external processor for elemental operations. Gu Yue supplies commands while it handles familiar transformations and returns the results, reducing her mental burden rather than simply multiplying her raw power 23 28.

• Restricted access: Allows Jiang Xia to connect only to the shallowest layer of her mental will 23.
• Knowledge-dependent support: The assistance covers transformations Jiang Xia has mastered; unfamiliar operations still require her own attention 28.
• Long-term potential: Gu Yue theorizes that the amplification could remain useful even after she recovers her peak strength, though its proportional benefit would decline if Jiang Xia fell far behind her cultivation 27.
• Virtual-space limitation: The Spirit Ascension Platform simulates only her disclosed spiritual strength, not her Silver Dragon King spiritual origin. Serving as a vessel for four stacked dream layers therefore causes substantial exhaustion 44.

Virtual-Space Research and Mecha Design

Gu Yue studies the Spirit Ascension Platform's technology as a foundation for the Myriad Beast Platform. She needs to understand its principles well enough to modify the technology while concealing her intentions 20 37 42.

• Teaches Jiang Xia the basics of creating virtual spaces 42.
• Uses Broken Dream to construct models, verify algorithms, and develop elemental techniques 43.
• Jointly builds the massive soul circuit array that enables a fourth virtual layer within Broken Dream 44.
• Holds a reported rank-three mecha designer qualification 43.

Relationships

• Leng Yaozhu — Master and senior patron within the Spirit Pagoda. Personally accepts Gu Yue as her disciple and introduces her to Han Tianyi as a valuable spiritual-power and technology expert 19 20.
• Jiang Xia — Classmate, elemental amplifier, student of her techniques, and research partner. Their mutually beneficial cooperation persists despite her suspicion of his knowledge about Na'er 26 28 41 43.
• Na'er — The human portion of her consciousness given separate form. Their shared memories and concealed telepathic communication are among Gu Yue's most closely guarded secrets 41.
• Tang Wulin — Classmate and frontline partner during joint hunts and training. His discomfort at her growing closeness with Jiang Xia is explicitly distinguished from established romantic feelings 24 31 33.
• Wu Zhangkong — Class Zero teacher. Gu Yue resents his cultivation advantage in sparring and helps organize coordinated attacks capable of defeating his restricted training performance 23 24 40.
• Han Tianyi — Spirit Pagoda elder whose expertise and institutional influence make him important to her plans for the Myriad Beast Platform 20 27.
• Xu Xiaoyan — Classmate and research collaborator. Gu Yue helps create the four-layer dreamscape used to investigate Xu Xiaoyan's nighttime binding ability 40 46.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Spirit Pagoda Discipleship and Class Zero

Gu Yue becomes Leng Yaozhu's personal disciple at the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda, where she meets Jiang Xia. His comparable spiritual talent surprises her, since her own achievement depends on the accumulated foundation of her previous life 19 20.

Their first combat partnership defeats the other four Class Zero students. They then help coordinate the class against Wu Zhangkong, establishing the combination of her elemental execution and Jiang Xia's mental support 22 23 24 26.

Research Partnership and Exposed Secrets

After offering to teach Jiang Xia Elemental Control, Gu Yue becomes his regular partner in cultivation and virtual-space research. Both decline Wu Zhangkong's invitation to join the Tang Sect 28 36 37.

Jiang Xia's questions about Na'er threaten the secrecy of her identity. Although she accepts his explanation of accidental thought interception, she assumes he may know more than he admits and strengthens her precautions rather than ending their cooperation 38 41 42.

Seven-Day Spirit Ascension Hunt

Gu Yue helps Jiang Xia construct a fourth dream layer and repeatedly serves as its vessel during Class Zero's seven-day hunting campaign. She receives twenty percent of the group's absorbed spiritual power, but the strain leaves her pale and exhausted. She warns Jiang Xia against placing the entire burden on her again 44 45.

Skysea Alliance Tournament and Shrek City

Gu Yue volunteers for the three-person match against Ye Xinglan's team after hearing Tang Wulin offer access to his bloodline for research. Jiang Xia privately warns her that an exceptionally powerful remnant soul resides within Tang Wulin. Jiang Xia then defeats Ye Xinglan before Gu Yue or Tang Wulin can act, and Class Zero goes on to win the team championship 47 48.

Three years later, she accompanies Class Zero to Shrek City. When Jiang Xia successfully gains physical enhancement from his imitation of the Golden Dragon King's blood essence, Gu Yue senses a familiar presence and recognizes that his research has achieved a breakthrough 50.
