Character History
Originally from the pugilistic world, Xing Ling had no knowledge of what the Celestial Zone or 'spiritual energy' was about. After a series of seemingly fated incidents—involving an attack on Xing Ling by large numbers of pugilists seeking revenge, and a battle with a ghost in which she was forced to cut off her hair—she met the first two characters from the Righteous Way of the Celestial Zone, Wang Chan and Xue Wu.
After learning about the Celestial Zone and the use of spiritual energy from the two, Xing Ling decided to carry on with her own path and leave Xue Wu and Wang Chan (who commented on her special aura). However, due to her inability to differentiate between left and right, she met up with the two again, which also seems a fated incident. After helping a village destroyed by demons, she decided to remain with the group, with Wei Qi (a childhood friend of Wang Chan obsessed with the game of Wei Qi) joining them later on.
In The Celestial Zone I Vol. 4, a significant event happened to Xing Ling, changing her life from then on. Mistaking her to be from the Evil Way (due to the scent of evil monsters' blood on her body), the Aura of E-Mei entered her body, but was unable to exit.
Unfortunately, her body was not meant to take in so much energy. The energy threatened to 'break out' of her body forcibly, had she not found a way to control or release the energy.
Xing Ling could only control this Aura of E-Mei through cultivation of spiritual energy, meaning that she had to become part of the celestial zone. Though she was not confident of succeeding, she worked many times harder than other practitioners under the guidance of Wang Chan and Chi Xue. Within a relatively short time, she was able to create a spiritual weapon. Only Chi Xue managed to advance so quickly when the story took place.
By the end of The Celestial Zone I, Xing Ling had attained the level of Man and Sword as One and together with Chi Xue, defeated Moon Monarch, leader of the evil way.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or history:
“If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
