11 Zhang Lingyu is one of the confirmed fighters in The Hidden Ones. He was introduced through the developer's official character-spotlight series and has been shown as a playable fighter in gameplay from the game's tests. This page covers what has actually been shown for him so far.

33 Overview
44  
55 Zhang Lingyu is presented as a disciplined, principled fighter, described in the developer's own character introduction as a solitary and proud cultivator with a pure and sincere heart. He is one of the fighters beyond the small starting group shown in the earliest playtest, and he sits on the growing Characters roster rather than in the fixed test trio.

7-The developer's own fighter guide is more specific than the spotlight material the wiki previously relied on. It names him as the youngest disciple of the 65th generation Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei, places him as a high-ranking official at the Celestial Mansion, and identifies his power as Yin Thunder. That last detail turns the general lightning description below into a named technique, and it pairs him against Zhang Chulan, whose guide credits him with Yang Thunder.

99 The same master's teaching line produced a second announced fighter. Rong Shan is introduced as one of Zhang Zhiwei's direct disciples, though he is billed on striking power rather than on a named art.

1313 In gameplay footage, Zhang Lingyu fights with lightning and thunder based techniques. That lines up with the clearest supernatural power the game has shown so far, the lightning and electric blasts referenced across its combat material, so his kit leans on ranged and burst lightning pressure alongside the shared melee base. His attacks still run through the same Combat System of basic attacks, skills, blocks, and dodges that every fighter uses, with the usual color-coded attack tells and stamina economy. A detailed, official moveset or frame data for him has not been published, so specific numbers are intentionally left out here.

1515 In the Source Material

1717 In the original The Outcast series, Zhang Lingyu is a senior disciple of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Mansion and a student of its Celestial Master, known there for a golden-light art and a thunder technique tied to that lineage. The game tells an original story rather than a straight retelling, so how much of that background carries into its plot has not been detailed. Treat the source biography as background context rather than confirmed in-game canon; see The Outcast Source Material for how the wiki separates the two.
