Background / History

Ning Buhui was originally an archaeologist working under Professor Chen Shouzheng. He died in a tomb collapse after saving his adviser, glimpsing a black-and-white spire beneath a boulder before his death. He was reborn with the same name as the son of Ning Yuanshan and Lady Lin, members of an impoverished peripheral branch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect 1.

When he was four, the main branch accused his father of withholding secret techniques and demanded his Soul Tool blueprints. Ning Yuanshan disappeared after leaving home. Men subsequently attacked Lady Lin while searching for the blueprints; she pushed her son through a window to save him and was killed. Ning Buhui survived in Bluestone Town through menial work and endured the indifference of his relatives 1 74.

At six, he persuaded Ning Laosan to let him accompany an ox cart toward Nuoding City, walking behind it for three days. He then sought out Spirit Hall alone to awaken his Martial Soul. His nine-story pagoda and Innate Full Soul Power brought him to Spirit City, where Bibi Dong accepted him as her disciple 1 2 3 5 6.

Appearance

By fourteen, Ning Buhui has grown into a tall, lean youth with broadening shoulders, increasingly defined features, and an understated handsomeness 84.

  • Face: A straight nose, emerging jawline, sword-shaped brows, and deep, bright eyes 84.
  • Childhood appearance: At six, he wears worn, ill-fitting clothing and arrives at Spirit Hall barefoot, with scabbed cuts on his feet 1.
  • Cultivation presence: After mastering Four-Aperture Constant Heart, he can restrain his Soul Power so thoroughly that he appears ordinary even to his companions 59.

Personality

Ning Buhui is patient, quiet, and unusually composed for his age. He attributes his tolerance for repetitive cultivation to archaeological work, where cleaning a tiny pottery fragment could occupy an entire day. He maintains demanding routines combining physical training, cultivation, research, and divided-attention exercises 7 9 16.

His ambition centers on controlling his own fate rather than merely surpassing his peers. Childhood deprivation leaves him deeply resentful of the sect members who abandoned his family. During the heart-examination trial, he acknowledges that hatred instead of denying it, recognizing that it could otherwise become an inner demon 57 74.

He conceals dangerous advantages deliberately, including his dual-skill rings, spiritual attacks, and true identity while traveling. Nevertheless, he refuses to abandon his teammates when doing so would save himself. He also honors his promise to help Shitou, despite having nearly forgotten their childhood meeting 15 44 62 76 81.

Abilities & Skills

Nine Hell Soul-Suppressing Pagoda

  • Form: A nine-story black-and-white pagoda with two circulating yin-yang fish 2 7.
  • Dual-skill rings: Each ring grants a yang support skill and a yin control skill. Unlike the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda’s fixed skills, its abilities depend on the Soul Beast absorbed 14 63.
  • Progressive enhancement: Additional rings strengthen earlier skills; Ning Buhui identifies a five-percent growth component in its enhancements 14 33.
  • Soul protection: Passively protects his spiritual sea against mental attacks below god level. He initially tells Bibi Dong that its protection only extends below Titled Douluo level 19.
  • Absorption assistance: Breaks down violent ring energy and destroys Soul Beast remnant wills during absorption 14 21 79.
  • Greater reserves: Repeated bodily strengthening allows him to hold more than twice the Soul Power of a same-level Soul Master, but also increases the energy required to advance 68.

Soul Ring Skills

Ring Yang — Support Yin — Control
First: Netherlight Butterfly Butterfly Dance Flowing Radiance: Enhances all attributes and Soul Power recovery while shortening intervals between Soul Skill uses. At level 34, the stated effects are +35% attributes and recovery, with a 30% interval reduction 14 33. Butterfly Suppresses the Nether Spring: Increases enemy Soul Power expenditure, weakens Soul Skills, and disrupts Soul Power flow. Can interrupt skills during casting. At level 34, its stated duration is forty seconds 30 33.
Second: Soul-Binding Vine Vine Armor Spring Life: Creates damage-absorbing armor that returns a small amount of Soul Power to its wearer and releases a knockback wave when broken. Initially absorbs 20% of damage for thirty seconds; later applications include layered armor 21 51. Vine Locks the Nine Nether Regions: Produces binding chains that drain Soul Power. Their strength depends on the difference between combatants; by his third ring, the stated casting range reaches 125 meters 21 28 33.
Third: Wind Thunder Winged Tiger Wind Thunder Wing Shadow: A support enhancement used on himself and teammates, including during rapid movement and evasive maneuvers 37 52 63. Thunder Prison Imprisons Wind: Creates a lightning cage that restricts movement. At level 34, a twenty-meter-radius cage can be sustained for fifteen seconds. Its electricity can also travel through an opponent’s water 33 49.
Fourth: Hell-Suppressing Bear Bear Iron Wall: Provides a bear-spirit enhancement. Combined with his first support skill, it produces a documented 100% boost to all attributes; mirror images also use it to grant super armor 66 70. Bear Spirit Curse: Curses and weakens enemies, supporting sustained attacks against durable targets 62 63 69.
Fifth: Netherworld Phoenix Yang · Phoenix Feather Nirvana: Creates nine feathers, each able to target a different recipient. Each feather cleanses all negative statuses, restores 15% of maximum Soul Power and mental power, and grants one second of invincibility 79. Yin · Samsara Netherfire: Places a mark that seals one of the target’s first five Soul Ring skills for sixty seconds 79.

Heart Separation Control

  • Receives an inherited cultivation method capable of reaching the Nine Aperture Glazed Heart 2.
  • Trains divided attention by simultaneously tossing a pebble, drawing circles, and reciting Soul Beast compendium entries 16.
  • Develops control through spiritual strength and precision rather than Soul Power level alone 9.
  • Four-Aperture Constant Heart enables four precisely controlled skill channels, reduces wasted power, and improves endurance and concealment 59.
  • Sustained simultaneous skill use can still overload his concentration; the Jasper Flood Dragon battle leaves his head buzzing despite the breakthrough 62.

Offensive Techniques

Technique Applications and limits
Mountain Suppressing Falling Strike Enlarges the pagoda and uses it as an impact weapon or pinning weight. With support enhancements, it can immobilize a Defense System opponent beneath a mountain-sized pagoda 22 66.
Spinning Pagoda Strangulation Spins the pagoda at high speed; demonstrated shredding incoming spider silk 22 49.
Soul-Suppressing God-Devouring A self-created spiritual shock developed from the pagoda’s vibrations. Its early version attacks indiscriminately in an area; its perfected form can stun opponents or destroy a trial image’s sea of consciousness 22 70.
Void Rending Slash A cutting attack used to sever weapons and vines, exploit gaps in Soul Beast armor, and deliver killing blows 29 52 67 79.
Soul-Devouring Divine Light Acquires its manual after clearing the thirtieth trial. Later projects black-and-white energy from his palm to blast a Soul King image out of the fight 70 72.

Pagoda Interior

  • First floor: Opens with awakening and provides an internal space he can enter 7.
  • Second floor: Available after his second ring; used for meditation and research into spiritual attacks 23 25.
  • Third floor: Opens with his third ring and contains a herb garden, fertile Breathing Earth, a furnished bamboo house, and an array adjustable to ten times normal cultivation speed 40.
  • Rare plants: Includes an immature Chaos Azure Lotus. Ning Buhui considers using the herbs to strengthen allies and obtaining an opportunity to help Dugu Bo’s poison arts 40.
  • Concealed refuge: Can shrink the external pagoda to a dust-sized speck before entering, allowing him to hide, treat injuries, and recover safely 52.

Combat Knowledge and Limitations

  • Tactical research: Studies Soul Beast compatibility, habits, weaknesses, and fighting rhythms; uses mint to lure the Wind Thunder Winged Tiger out of hiding 9 31 54.
  • Adaptive chain control: Varies chains from thick restraints to hair-fine, concealed Soul Power drains 49 50 51.
  • Control resistance: Super armor makes his restraints easier to break, although it does not prevent Soul Power drainage itself 51.
  • Reserve disparity: Stronger opponents can outlast his control techniques. He loses arena matches against level-45 and level-46 Soul Ancestors after his chains or reserves prove insufficient 51.
  • High-cost combinations: Large lightning cages, repeated teleportation, and simultaneous support/control skills can rapidly exhaust him 33 51 52 62.

Equipment / Soul Bones / Items

  • Wind Thunder Wings — External Soul Bone obtained from the Wind Thunder Winged Tiger. Provides flight and short-range teleportation without occupying one of the six major Soul Bone slots; can evolve with his cultivation 32 34 36.
  • Time-Reversing Heavenly Secret Skull — A 120,000-year Soul Bone that expands spiritual perception and grants two abilities 75:
    • Pupil of Illusion Breaking: Passively sees through concealment; focused use exposes disguises and also counters mental control such as Charm 76.
    • Eye of the Future: Reveals the scene three seconds ahead. Its usefulness still depends on whether his body can react in time 76.
  • Twenty-thousand-year Soul Bone — Already possesses one at seven; the supplied passage does not name it 23.
  • Thousand-Transformation Illusory Mask — Alters his appearance, including disguising him as an ordinary-looking man in his early twenties 52 53.
  • Bibi Dong’s jade token — Marks her personal protection; she warns that mistreating him constitutes an offense against her 6.
  • Storage ring — Carries supplies, cooking equipment, and collected Soul Beast materials 37 47.
  • Spirit Ascension Pill — Retains it after returning from the secret realm, choosing not to use it immediately 75.

Relationships

  • Bibi Dong — Teacher and protector. Personally assists his ring hunts, teaches orthodox combat every three days, and respects his decision to conceal his Martial Soul’s unusual abilities 6 11 22 57 63 79.

  • Ning Yuanshan — Father and Soul Tool blueprint creator. Names him in the hope that he will live without regret; disappears after the main branch’s accusations 1.
  • Lady Lin — Mother. Saves his life during the attack on their home and dies protecting him 1 74.
  • Chen Shouzheng — Archaeological adviser in his previous life, whom he saves during the fatal tomb collapse 1.
