Chen Qiong Zhi

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Chen Qiong Zhi served as an instructor for the Special Selection Class, where she enforced a strict standard of continuous improvement. Students who showed no progress were dismissed because, in her view, failing to improve amounted to regression 31.

In her youth, she received instruction from Yu Hengxing. Li Yi later witnessed a memory fragment of Yu Hengxing teaching her 55.

War and hatred shaped her demanding approach to training and combat. Beneath that rigor, her natural disposition is described as free-spirited, and she prioritizes comfort rather than elegance in everyday life 283.

She later joined Li Yi in frontline operations, dispatching reinforcements to assist him at the Central Axis 251. After obtaining her primary ship cruising qualification, she and Li Yi planned to serve as co-captains of a new primary ship 424.

Personality

Chen Qiong Zhi is strict, fair, and intensely focused on strength. As an instructor, she expects measurable progress and does not retain students who stagnate 31.

Outside combat, she is direct and unconcerned with conventional refinement, favoring personal comfort. In training and on the battlefield, however, she becomes exceptionally exacting 283. She can also be playful with Li Yi, though she becomes serious when passing on her family’s martial arts 289.

She is protective of Li Yi and attentive to potential risks around him. She reminded him of the Youth Mech Pilot Tournament and cautioned him about his safety 132, while later becoming suspicious of Li Lulu’s identity and relationship to him 348.
