Background / History

Shrek Academy and the Far North Hunt

Ling Luochen comes from a small Soul Master clan near Heaven Dou City. At eighteen, she is already a gifted inner-court disciple of Shrek Academy. Acting on Vice Dean Cai Mei’er’s instructions, she visits Nan Shuishui to seek help obtaining her fifth Soul Ring and delivers an invitation for Yu Tianqing to enter Shrek’s inner court 1 3.

Her ice attribute makes the Far North a suitable hunting ground, although this is her first visit there. During the journey, Nan Shuishui encourages her to call her “Aunt Nan” and asks her to look after Yu Tianqing once he enters the academy. Nan Shuishui also privately encourages Yu Tianqing to pursue her 3.

Yu Tianqing subdues a ten-thousand-year Ice Spirit, but its extreme resistance to ice leaves Ling Luochen unable to deliver the finishing blow easily. His attempt to obtain an unclaimed Soul Ring by throwing it into the air is interrupted by the Ice Empress’s arrival 4 5.

The Ice Empress’s power destabilizes Ling Luochen’s Martial Soul, and Yu Tianqing supplies warmth to help her resist it. She eventually loses awareness and later awakens in an Earth Dragon Sect guest room, remembering only fragments of his efforts to draw the danger away 5 6 12.

Recovery and Martial Soul Evolution

Learning that Nan Shuishui has returned to the Far North to find Yu Tianqing, Ling Luochen takes Nan Qiuqiu outside Dragon City to wait. She recognizes that Nan Shuishui’s instructions effectively entrust Qiuqiu to her if she fails to return. Feeling responsible for the hunt’s consequences, she struggles with the debt she owes them 12 13.

When Yu Tianqing and Nan Shuishui return, Ling Luochen runs into his arms. He then takes her to an Ice Jade Scorpion, whose sacrifice supplies her fifth Soul Ring. The resulting evolution grants her Ultimate Ice and the Ice Explosion Technique. That evening, she and Yu Tianqing share their first kiss and begin a romantic relationship 13 14.

She remains at the Earth Dragon Sect to stabilize her transformed Martial Soul. Nan Shuishui grants her access to the sect’s secret realm, where her Ultimate Ice allows her to harvest Ice Extreme Divine Crystal and Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. After more than three months, she reaches level 54 and returns to Shrek at the academy’s urging, promising to wait for Yu Tianqing there 15 16 17.

Reunion at Shrek Academy

After three months apart, Ling Luochen waits at Shrek Academy’s gates for Yu Tianqing and greets him with a public kiss. The display attracts widespread attention and rumors, sharply contrasting with her aloof reputation. She subsequently accompanies him to Cai Mei’er’s office and receives a thirty-thousand-year Ice Dragon left arm bone 25 26.

Ma Xiaotao’s request for help suppressing her Evil Fire becomes a recurring source of friction. Ling Luochen initially refuses because she wants time with Yu Tianqing, then worries when Ma Xiaotao challenges him for his inner-court assessment. After his victory, she publicly stakes her claim as his partner and promises to handle Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire later 25 28 30.

Ling Luochen invites Yu Tianqing to her room on Sea God Island, where they consummate their relationship. Their dual cultivation improves his yin–yang balance and raises her cultivation from level 56 to level 58 overnight 30 31.

When Ma Xiaotao instead seeks Yu Tianqing’s lightning treatment, Ling Luochen objects out of jealousy. After he rebukes her for distrusting him, she apologizes and allows the treatment to proceed, resolving to place greater trust in him 32 33.

Appearance

• Hair: Long, straight black hair, repeatedly compared to a waterfall 1 14.
• Face: A delicate oval face with porcelain-white skin and deep-set eyes 1.
• Eyes: Blue, described as shining brightly after the Ice Jade Scorpion’s sacrifice 13.
• Brows: Long, sharply defined brows that contribute to her cold, distant appearance 1.
• Build: Tall and graceful, with straight legs and lightly defined abdominal muscles 16 25.
• Notable clothing: Wears a dark-blue one-piece swimsuit made by Yu Tianqing when entering the Earth Dragon Sect’s underwater secret realm 16.

Personality

Ling Luochen’s initial aloofness is partly attributed to her Martial Soul’s influence. At Shrek, her cold treatment discourages her admirers, but she remains respectful toward elders such as Nan Shuishui. She is also curious about unfamiliar things, questioning Yu Tianqing about his sled’s Soul Tool formations and expressing surprise at his handling of Soul Beasts 3.

Her reserve conceals a strong sense of gratitude and responsibility. She gently cares for Nan Qiuqiu while awaiting the hunting party’s return and initially refuses the Earth Dragon Sect’s treasures, offering to retrieve them for free because she already owes the sect so much 12 13 15.

With Yu Tianqing, she becomes affectionate, playful, and increasingly direct. She openly expresses longing and initiates public affection, but is also possessive: her displays after his arena victory deliberately signal that he is her chosen partner. Her jealousy toward Ma Xiaotao later gives way to self-reflection about trust and overbearing behavior 17 25 30 33.

Abilities & Skills

Ultimate Ice

Her ice attribute evolves into Ultimate Ice through the Ice Jade Scorpion’s sacrifice 13 14 15.

• Elemental control: Creates an ice bridge across Sea God Lake, approximately one meter wide and a foot thick 28.
• Chilling presence: While she waits at Shrek’s gates, Soul Masters below Soul King cannot approach within three paces 25.
• Resource extraction: Harvests Ice Extreme Divine Crystal and Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow from the Earth Dragon Sect’s secret realm, which requires Ultimate Ice 15 16 17.
• Evil Fire suppression: Ma Xiaotao seeks her help because Ultimate Ice is more effective for suppression than the Xuanming Shield 25.
• Cultivation cost: Ultimate Ice requires higher-purity energy and slows cultivation; her newly evolved Soul Power also needs compression and stabilization 14 31.

Ice Explosion Technique

• Gained as her fifth Soul Skill from the Ice Jade Scorpion’s sacrifice 14.
• Described as a highly coveted ability for ice-attribute Soul Masters. Yu Tianqing recalls a Soul Bone bearing the technique fetching over twenty million Gold Soul Coins at auction 14.
• Its combat use is not demonstrated in the provided chapters.

Dual Cultivation

• Her Ultimate Ice benefits Yu Tianqing’s yin-attribute origin and helps bring his opposing origins closer to balance 30.
• Their first session raises her Soul Power by two levels overnight 31.
• Yu Tianqing cautions that the initial session produces the strongest effect and recommends resting for a couple of days before continuing 31.

Early Limitations

• Before her evolution, her all-ice Soul Skills are poorly suited to finishing the highly ice-resistant Ice Spirit 4.
• As a Soul Ancestor, exposure to the Ice Empress causes her Martial Soul to submit instinctively to a superior ice power, threatening loss of control or backlash 5 6.

Equipment / Items

• Thirty-thousand-year Ice Dragon left arm bone — A gift from Cai Mei’er; its absorption and abilities are not documented in the provided material 26.
• Three pieces of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow — Given by Nan Shuishui. Ling Luochen believes they could sustain her cultivation to Titled Douluo, though Yu Tianqing argues that continued purification of Ultimate Ice will require more 17.

Relationships

• Yu Tianqing — Lover and dual-cultivation partner. His protection during the Far North hunt becomes central to her feelings for him; she regards both him and the secret realm as fated for her 16 30.
• Nan Shuishui — A trusted elder whom she calls “Aunt Nan.” Nan Shuishui protects her, encourages her relationship with Yu Tianqing, and treats her as a future member of the family 3 5 15.
• Nan Qiuqiu — A younger-sister-like companion who calls her “Sister Luochen.” Ling Luochen comforts her during the adults’ absence and promises to visit and tell her more stories about Shrek 12 13 17.
• Cai Mei’er — Shrek’s vice dean, who sends her to Nan Shuishui and later gives her an Ice Dragon Soul Bone. At Yu Tianqing’s prompting, she addresses Cai as “Sister Mei’er” 1 26.
• Ma Xiaotao — An academy peer with a teasing, argumentative relationship with her. Their disputes involve Evil Fire suppression and Yu Tianqing; Ling Luochen also enjoys making Ma Xiaotao acknowledge her as “martial aunt” through his lineage 25 30 32 33.
