Personality
Lei En is outgoing and hospitable, frequently laughing heartily and patting his companions on the shoulder. He welcomes Lin Yan into the team, tries to defuse Ji Qiu’s objections, and remains ready to intervene during their strength test 21 22.
He values fairness over personal gain. When recruiting Lin Yan, he offers contribution-based rewards and a written contract. Despite his obvious desire for the Dew-Condensing Cattail’s Soul Bone, he refuses it because it does not suit his Martial Soul, then supports Su Yun absorbing it 21 27.
His concern for teammates extends beyond the mission. When Lin Yan announces that he will remain alone in the forest, Lei En offers to stay nearby as emergency support. He leaves only after accepting Lin Yan’s fabricated assurance that a hidden family expert will protect him 28.
Abilities & Skills
Boulder Shield
Lei En’s Defense System Martial Soul is a large shield used to hold the front line and protect teammates 22 25.
- Withstands simultaneous strikes from two Sickle Mantis Shrimp while sheltering Su Yun behind him 25.
- Supports offensive shield charges and heavy bashes, including attacks that knock Wind Wolves aside or bring a mantis shrimp to the ground 23 25.
- Sustained attacks can mark the shield and heavily drain his Soul Power. Two coordinated mantis shrimp temporarily force him into continuous defense, preventing a counterattack 25.
Shield Bash Charge
- Identified as his first Soul Skill during the Poison Water Toad battle 23.
- Allows him to charge with his shield and knock over one of the Hundred-Year leaders, helping break the pack’s concentrated attack 23.
Boulder Defense
- Also identified as his first Soul Skill, this time during the Sickle Mantis Shrimp ambush; the passages give inconsistent first-skill names 23 25.
- Releases earthen-yellow light and enlarges the shield’s apparent size to cover Lei En and Su Yun 25.
- Enables him to withstand the guardians’ initial two-beast assault 25.
Rock Shock
Lei En’s second Soul Skill releases a shock wave by striking his shield into the ground 23 25.
- Stuns a Hundred-Year Iron-Armored Mole, allowing Ling Ren to finish it 23.
- Knocks mantis shrimp off balance and slows their movements, creating opportunities for teammates 25.
- Can be interrupted before activation by sufficiently relentless, coordinated attacks 25.
Leadership and Fieldcraft
- Assigns scouting, protection, and reserve positions before advancing deeper into the forest 23.
- Places himself at the front, with Lin Yan positioned to reinforce him or respond to flank threats 23.
- Orders reconnaissance around the Dew-Condensing Cattail after Lin Yan warns of possible guardian beasts 24.
- Directs the collection and sorting of valuable Soul Beast materials after the hunt 28.
Equipment & Items
- Thick earth crystal: Purchased for 1,200 Gold Soul Coins at the Fasinuo auction. Slightly increases the condensation speed of earth-attribute Soul Power, making it useful for his defensive cultivation 41.
- Storage bag: Used to hold materials collected after the forest expedition 28.
History
Recruiting Lin Yan
Lei En approaches Lin Yan in Star Dou Town because the Boulder team lacks a Power Attack System Soul Master for its hunt for Su Yun’s third Soul Ring. Impressed by Lin Yan’s composed bearing and the way he carries his sword, he invites him to meet the team and explains its reward-sharing arrangements 21.
Lin Yan introduces himself as Lin Shuo. Ji Qiu challenges the newcomer’s suitability, but accepts him after losing a brief contest. Relieved that the dispute is settled, Lei En formally introduces the team and leads its five members toward the Star Dou Great Forest 22.
Su Yun’s Soul Ring Hunt
Lei En leads the expedition through several Soul Beast encounters before the group finds a roughly 1,300-year-old Dew-Condensing Cattail. During the guardians’ ambush, he absorbs the pressure of two Sickle Mantis Shrimp while Lin Yan and the others create openings. He and Lin Yan defeat the final guardian together 23 24 25.
He helps guard Su Yun through her Soul Ring absorption and later insists that she absorb the matching Torso Soul Bone as well. Once both absorptions succeed, he organizes material collection and prepares the team’s withdrawal. Although he hopes to form a lasting team with Lin Yan, he accepts the supposed family-trial restrictions and leads the others out without him 26 27 28.
Fasinuo City Reunion
Lei En reunites with Lin Yan while visiting Fasinuo City through places provided by Soto Academy. Over drinks at the Oak Barrel, he thanks him again for the forest expedition and explains that the group expects to graduate in a few months. He and Su Yun invite Lin Yan to attend Spirit Hall Academy with them, but Lin Yan leaves his decision open 40.
At the auction, Lei En purchases thick earth crystal. Afterward, he notices the hostile attention directed at Lin Yan and recognizes the accompanying elder’s presence as at least Soul King-level. He agrees to leave promptly with the group and reminds Lin Yan to consider Spirit Hall Academy before they part 41 43.
Relationships
- Lin Yan / “Lin Shuo” — Recruited ally and friend. Lei En admires his swordsmanship, knowledge, and tactical judgment, and hopes to continue fighting alongside him. He continues addressing him by his alias during their reunion 21 26 28 40 43.
- Su Yun — Teammate whose third Soul Ring is the expedition’s objective. Lei En protects her in combat, respects her wish to let the Cattail scatter its seeds, and guards both of her absorptions 22 25 26 27.
- Ling Ren — Agility Attack System teammate. Lei En assigns him flank reconnaissance and coordinates his attacks against the guardians 23 25.
- Ji Qiu — Control System teammate. Lei En mediates his initial conflict with Lin Yan and relies on him to protect Su Yun and restrain enemies 22 23 25.
