Personality
Xiao Yun is gentle, courteous, and openly grateful toward those who help her. She welcomes Lin Shuo with a bow and thanks, later offering him life-energy dew when he chooses to remain alone in the forest. Her concern extends to Soul Beasts: before killing the Dew-Condensing Cattail, she asks it to scatter its seeds so that its descendants can survive 22 26 28.
She also shows practical caution. At the Fasinuo City auction, she advises her companions to bid within their means and avoid unnecessary enemies. Afterward, she notices potential danger around Lin Shuo and offers to accompany him back to his lodging 41 43.
Abilities & Skills
Healing Dandelion
Her plant-type Martial Soul produces healing light and spores used to support her companions 22 23 27.
- Eases minor injuries and fatigue after combat 23.
- Possesses a Healing Spores ability, whose area of coverage serves as the initial range reference for her third Soul Skill 27.
- Can condense a small cluster of dandelion dew containing life energy. She offers one to Lin Shuo as a modest aid for Soul Power recovery or fatigue relief, while acknowledging that it may be less effective than a Soul Skill 28.
Soul Power Condensed Dew
Her third Soul Skill releases fine, crystalline dandelion fluff that enters recipients’ bodies as cool particles of energy, gradually restoring Soul Power 27.
- Affects both herself and her teammates.
- Provides sustained rather than rapid recovery.
- Can concentrate recovery on one person or cover the team.
- Allows her to adjust the fluff’s density, coverage, and recovery efficiency by increasing Soul Power expenditure.
- Initially covers approximately the same area as Healing Spores; she expects its range to expand as her Soul Power grows 27.
Life-Protecting Dew
Her Torso Soul Bone skill creates a thin, nearly transparent shield with a dewdrop-like sheen. It activates without requiring her to release her Martial Soul 27.

|---|---|
| Duration | Ten seconds 27 |
| Damage absorption | Absorbs 50% of incoming damage 27 |
| Damage conversion | Neutralizes the absorbed force and converts 50% of its energy into life energy to heal her 27 |
| Normal expiration | Returns a portion of the accumulated life energy as an additional burst of self-healing 27 |
| Forced break | Releases a healing ring that instantly restores 10% of nearby friendly units’ maximum health 27 |
Story Role / Major Arcs
Third Soul Ring Expedition
The Boulder team recruits Lin Yan, using the alias Lin Shuo, to strengthen its offense before entering the Star Dou Great Forest for Xiao Yun’s third Soul Ring. During the expedition, she travels behind Lei En under Ji Qiu’s protection and treats the team’s injuries and fatigue between battles 22 23.
Lin Shuo identifies a Dew-Condensing Cattail whose properties closely match her Dandelion. Xiao Yun senses a resonance with the plant, and he suggests that its ring may also improve her Martial Soul’s quality. After the guardian beasts are defeated, she allows the cattail to scatter its seeds before killing it with her dagger and absorbing its ring. Its gentle nature, compatibility, and apparently diminished hostility make the absorption unusually smooth 24 26.
She subsequently reveals an emerald Torso Soul Bone. Her companions initially favor giving it to Lin Shuo, but he argues that her compatible Martial Soul makes her the best recipient. She absorbs it under their protection 27.
Farewell to Lin Shuo
When Lin Shuo insists on completing an alleged family trial alone, Xiao Yun gives him life-energy dew and wishes him success. She leaves the forest with Lei En, Ling Ren, and Ji Qiu, looking back with worry and reluctance 28.
Fasinuo City Reunion
Xiao Yun reunites with Lin Shuo while visiting Fasinuo City through places provided by Soto Academy to seek cultivation resources. With graduation approaching, she and her teammates discuss entering an advanced academy; she joins Lei En in inviting him to attend Spirit Hall Academy with them 40.
The group attends the auction together. Xiao Yun urges restraint in bidding and later offers to see Lin Shuo safely back to his lodging after sensing trouble 41 43.
Relationships
- Lin Yan / Lin Shuo — Expedition companion and benefactor. He identifies her third-ring target, helps direct the hunt, and persuades her to absorb the compatible Torso Soul Bone. She responds with trust, gratitude, and concern for his safety 22 26 27 28 43.
- Lei En — Team captain. He organizes her Soul Ring hunt, protects her during absorption, and insists that she accept the Soul Bone 22 26 27.
- Ling Ren — Teammate who helps guard her absorption and enthusiastically supports her acquisition of the Soul Bone 26 27.
- Ji Qiu — Teammate assigned to protect her in the forest. He later guards her breakthrough and recognizes the value of her new support skills 23 26 27.
