Background / History

Family and Broken Engagement

Lin Luyin belongs to the Lin Family, one of East Sea’s four great martial arts families, and received professional martial training from childhood. She is described as one of Jiangcheng’s three great beauties 1 9.

She and Chu Ge were betrothed as babies. After learning about the arrangement, Chu Ge brought the marriage contract to the Lin family and broke off the engagement, arguing that romance would slow his pursuit of martial strength. Humiliated, Lin Luyin challenged him to a spar and lost, receiving five kicks to her backside. She subsequently resolved to repay him with at least ten kicks 1 6.

Their families remained closely connected despite the annulment. The previous year, Lin Luyin and Chu Ge had served as bridesmaid and groomsman at a wedding between members of the Lin and Chu families 22.

Freshman Class Placement Examination

Her newly awakened Evasion made Lin Luyin confident that she could overcome Chu Ge’s cultivation advantage. During one match, she deliberately allowed a 60th-level opponent to attack ten times; Evasion succeeded on every attempt, prompting his surrender. Xiao Yan later conceded their match without fighting, giving Lin Luyin a place in the final 7 8.

Against Chu Ge, she initially waited to evade an attack and counter, but eventually lost patience and charged. Her kick struck his backside, while his Iron Cavalry-guided punch hit her shoulder blade and sent her out of the arena. His stronger physique left him largely unharmed; she suffered considerable shoulder pain and suspected a crack, though no fracture was confirmed 9.

Lin Luyin noticed an unfamiliar locking sensation during the exchange and wondered whether Chu Ge was her destined bane. Ye Weiyu’s encouragement restored her confidence, and she attributed the defeat to their cultivation gap. She began planning a much stricter training schedule 9.

Class President and Renewed Training

After class placement, Lin Luyin volunteered to become Class One’s president. During Wu Xuzhou’s lesson, she correctly explained that Primordial Force arises from the interaction of sunlight, moonlight, and starlight 10.

She subsequently spent most of each day cultivating, reaching the 85th level of Qi and Blood. Her father supplied a Star Stone for her eventual Black Iron breakthrough. During a visit from Lin Lan, she also agreed to help maintain order at Xu Junyuan’s National Day concert, describing the work as a way to temper her Dao heart 21.

East Sea Martial Arts School Competition

Lin Luyin accompanied Ye Weiyu to the competition. After Chu Ge teased her about her cultivation and their earlier fight, she declared that she would return home and remain in seclusion until reaching Black Iron. Nevertheless, she was subsequently shown watching the matches from the Ye Martial Arts School’s stands 22 23.

Recognizing that Chu Ge’s body-refining technique could not explain his newfound speed, she deduced that he likely possessed a newly awakened trait. She also analyzed Ye Han’s Single-Person Blind Spot but found no practical, honorable counter available to her. She wanted Chu Ge to defeat him so she could observe a solution, only to find his victory too swift to understand 23 24 25.

Appearance

• Recognized as one of Jiangcheng’s three great beauties 1.
• Wears her hair in two buns during Lin Lan’s visit 21.
• Shown relaxing at home in teddy-bear pajamas and white socks 6.

Personality

Lin Luyin is proud, competitive, and easily provoked by Chu Ge. Her confidence grows with Evasion’s early success: she calls herself “Lady Luck’s own daughter” after ten consecutive activations. Chu Ge considers her existing willingness to trade blows especially dangerous when combined with a defense that depends on chance 2 8.

She rebounds quickly from humiliation, turning distress into extravagant declarations about her future greatness. Although her earlier playfulness and comic-reading distracted her from cultivation, her placement defeat motivates sustained training. She refuses to abandon comics altogether, instead proposing to cut time from meals and sleep 9 21.

With Ye Weiyu, she is protective and affectionate. She criticizes her friend’s excessive deference toward Chu Ge but softens when Ye Weiyu becomes upset. Her competitive streak also has limits: she rejects outside assistance against Single-Person Blind Spot as dishonorable, even if a referee might permit it 7 24.

Abilities & Skills

Evasion

A four-star passive trait that automatically checks for evasion when an attack is detected 2 9.

• Probability: Has a 50% success rate against opponents in the same realm 8.
• Demonstrated results: Evades ten consecutive attacks in one placement match; Xiao Yan reports that it has succeeded throughout Lin Luyin’s earlier matches 8.
• Counter: Chu Ge’s Iron Cavalry prevents its locked target from evading within his attack range, allowing him to hit her in the final 6 9.
• Reliability: Xiao Yan reports that the Martial Arts Association downgraded Evasion from five stars to four because of its dependence on luck 2.

Foundational Martial Training

Lin Luyin has received professional instruction since childhood, with highly developed movement skills 9.

• Closes the distance to Chu Ge rapidly, moves around his side, and lands a kick during their final 9.
• Uses an evade-and-counter approach throughout the placement examination 9.
• Cannot yet learn the martial techniques needed for an indiscriminate, arena-wide attack against Single-Person Blind Spot 24.

Combat Analysis

• Identifies the mismatch between Chu Ge’s known body-refining technique and his exceptional speed, correctly suspecting another trait 23.
• Proposes two theoretical counters to Single-Person Blind Spot: arena-wide attacks or an outside observer calling out the user’s position. Neither is acceptable or available to her 24.

Equipment / Items

• Star Stone — Purchased overseas at auction by her father and given to her for her Black Iron breakthrough. Such stones guarantee comprehension of the corresponding Power of the Three Aspects when absorbed during a major-realm breakthrough; hers has not yet been shown being used 18 21.
• Tablet — Used to read adult comics, tip their author, and demand updates 6.

Relationships

• Chu Ge — Former fiancé and principal rival. His annulment of their engagement and repeated victories drive her determination to surpass him. Their arguments coexist with longstanding family ties 1 6 9 22.
• Ye Weiyu — Childhood best friend, whom she calls “Yezi.” Ye Weiyu comforts her after the placement final; Lin Luyin is protective of her but exasperated by her infatuation with Chu Ge 7 9 23 24.
• Lin Lan — Older paternal cousin who lives at the same estate. Brings her barbecue, asks about her breakthrough preparations, and recruits her to help at Xu Junyuan’s concert 20 21.
• Father — Supports her cultivation and obtains the Star Stone for her planned breakthrough 21.
• Wu Xuzhou — Class One’s homeroom teacher, under whom she serves as class president 10.
