History

Shrek’s Future Pillar

Zhang Lexuan belongs to Shrek Academy’s inner circle rather than being a student expected to return to an outside clan after graduation. The academy considers her one of its few exceptional talents who can be relied upon to put Shrek first. Although she has not yet become its eldest senior sister, she already commands enough respect to silence an overconfident teammate with a glare 38 48.

She has also been forced into the position of Bei Bei’s child bride. His youth limits the support he can offer her, particularly after her traumatic tournament defeat 43 74.

Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament

As Shrek’s only Six-Ring Soul Emperor, Zhang Lexuan is central to its strategy against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Du Weilun instructs her to kill opponents during the opening individual matches so that Shrek can enter the team battle with a numerical advantage. Yan Shaozhe promises to intervene if opposing teachers retaliate 38.

She takes the stage first in the final and faces Su Qingxue. Yan Shaozhe interrupts their initial start to recruit Su Qingxue after seeing her ten-thousand-year fourth ring. When the recruitment attempt fails, the match resumes 41 42 43.

Su Qingxue’s concealment, Soul Tools, Dark Cloud Netherworld Domain, and summoned Purple Lightning Netherworld Python place Zhang Lexuan under sustained pressure. Zhang Lexuan accepts Yan Shaozhe’s secretly transmitted order to kill her opponent. After her moonlight barrier is shattered, she appears behind Su Qingxue and launches Lunar Eclipse, piercing Cloud Robe. The Snow Empress blocks the otherwise lethal attack, and Su Qingxue leaves the platform 43 44 45.

Defeat and Ransom

Having expended more than half her Soul Power, Zhang Lexuan initially plans to withdraw. She changes her mind when Su Yun enters as a reserve, believing she can defeat him while recovering her strength. Instead, his opening rush catches her off guard: he strikes her mouth to prevent surrender, breaks her legs, and repeatedly slams her head into the platform, disrupting her ability to teleport away 45.

Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun attempt to rescue her, but Jing Hongchen and the Su Clan elder block their intervention. Su Yun holds her life hostage and demands a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone compatible with Su Qingxue’s Purple Lightning Netherworld Python ring. Yan Shaozhe agrees, and Zhang Lexuan receives treatment while remaining in Jing Hongchen’s custody 46 47 48.

After her return, she asks Mu En to punish her for the academy’s losses. He instead reassures her, then discovers that the beating has left her with a heart demon. The combination of extreme pain, fear of death, and the collapse of her hope when Yan Shaozhe failed to rescue her has made her tremble at Su Yun’s name 52.

Exchange and Recovery

Mu En proposes a student exchange with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy so Zhang Lexuan can confront her fear. He also arranges for Han Ruoruo, a trusted older-sister figure, to accompany and comfort her 52 74.

When Yan Shaozhe later tries to arrange a rematch with Su Yun, Zhang Lexuan’s fear remains too strong. He sends Han Ruoruo first instead. Su Yun deliberately accepts Han Ruoruo’s attack and leaves the match, allowing Zhang Lexuan to see him carried away by his sister. She begins to recognize him as a young boy rather than an invincible demon, and questions whether they have treated him too harshly 74 75 76.

During the following two years, Zhang Lexuan frequently brings Han Ruoruo to fight Su Qingxue, often continuing until she is badly bruised. By the exchange’s end, she has reached Level 79 and overcome her heart demon. Despite Su Qingxue’s recruitment offer, she refuses to leave Shrek 86 87.

Personality

Zhang Lexuan is disciplined and cautious in battle. She rebukes a teammate for dismissing the Sun Moon academy and remains composed when Su Qingxue’s domain suppresses her Soul Power, spiritual power, and body. Her assessment of an opponent’s unusual Soul Ring and Soul Bones also closely matches Du Weilun’s 38 44.

Her loyalty to Shrek extends to accepting its lethal tournament strategy. She resolves to kill Su Qingxue for the academy’s advantage and silently agrees when Yan Shaozhe explicitly orders it. After her own defeat, she takes responsibility and seeks punishment rather than excusing herself 41 43 52.

Her fear of Su Yun does not erase her capacity for sympathy. Seeing him apparently injured changes her perception of him, even prompting Yan Shaozhe to warn her against sympathizing with an enemy. She nevertheless remains conscious of Shrek’s expectations for her future 75 76.

Abilities & Skills

Moonlight Attacks and Defense

Zhang Lexuan uses condensed moonlight offensively and defensively 43 44.

• Activates her first three Soul Rings together to fire dense rays that cut off escape routes 43.
• Tears openings through Su Qingxue’s concealing clouds with moonlight attacks 43 44.
• Maintains a moonlight defense and clears a five-meter area around herself against ambushes 44.
• Cannot efficiently keep the entire cloud-covered platform clear; repeatedly spending several skills against a first Soul Skill is unsustainable 44.

Sixth Soul Skill: Lunar Eclipse

Lunar Eclipse produces a dark gleam with powerful corrosive force, described as annihilating what its light illuminates 44.

• Easily pierces Su Qingxue’s third Soul Skill, Cloud Robe 44.
• Is blocked by a snowflake manifested by the Snow Empress 44.

Soul Bone Teleportation

A Soul Bone skill allows Zhang Lexuan to teleport and reposition 45.

• She attempts to use it to escape Su Yun’s close-range assault 45.
• Requires her to identify a destination; severe dizziness from repeated head impacts prevents her from doing so 45.

Combat Strength and Limitations

• At Level 69, her training and high-quality Soul Bones make her stronger than an ordinary Soul Saint. A Shrek Soul Saint would need a top-tier Martial Soul or sufficiently advanced cultivation to defeat her 44.
• Handles Su Qingxue’s suppression better than the Sun Moon academy’s drug-reliant Soul Emperor 44.
• Lacks a demonstrated Spiritual Detection skill, leaving her unable to reliably locate Su Qingxue within the mist 43 44.
• Her defeat by Su Yun occurs while she is heavily depleted and underestimating his youth; the narration states that she could have dodged his opening rush in her normal condition 45.

Equipment / Items

• High-quality Soul Bones — Support her strength beyond her cultivation rank; at least one grants teleportation. Their exact number and anatomical locations are not specified 43 44 45.
• Additional top-tier Soul Bone — Ordered by Mu En to help her advance beyond Level 79; its absorption is not shown in the provided account 87.

Relationships

• Mu En — Patron and mentor figure who regards her as essential to Shrek’s future. He supports her recovery, promises powerful Soul Rings, and makes resolving her heart demon a priority 52 87.
• Yan Shaozhe — Senior academy authority who orders her to kill Su Qingxue, attempts to rescue her, and agrees to her ransom. He later arranges a spar to reduce her fear and asks her to explore recruiting the Su siblings 43 46 48 74 76.
• Han Ruoruo — Close senior and older-sister figure who accompanies her during recovery, fights Su Yun in her place, and joins her repeated battles against Su Qingxue 74 87.
• Su Qingxue — Tournament opponent and later frequent sparring partner. Zhang Lexuan attempts to kill her in the final, but later refuses her invitation to leave Shrek 43 44 86 87.
• Su Yun — Defeats, severely injures, and holds her for ransom after her attack on his sister. Her resulting terror gradually diminishes during the exchange 45 48 52 75 76.
• Bei Bei — The boy she is forced to become a child bride for. His age prevents him from serving as the emotional support Mu En instead seeks from Han Ruoruo 43 74.
• Du Weilun — Tournament team leader who develops the lethal opening-match strategy and is wounded while attempting to stop Su Yun’s assault on her 38 46.

Original-Story Comparison

• Su Yun recalls the original Zhang Lexuan reaching Level 80 at twenty-three or twenty-four and spending half a year recuperating after absorbing an eighth ring beyond her limits. He suspects that the ring damaged her foundation and caused her subsequent stagnation; this is his interpretation, not an advancement shown in the novel’s current timeline 11.
• Her original-story eighth ring is identified as a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. In the current timeline, the latest documented stage is Level 79 with seven rings 44 87.
