Background / History

Long Aotian was introduced as a young Body Sect disciple training on the sect grounds. He greeted Elder Lang Ya respectfully and welcomed the newly arrived Han Yu as a fellow disciple. His casual double-handed pat nearly knocked the physically frail Han Yu over; Long Aotian apologized, but bluntly noted Han Yu's weak physique. 2

Behind his normally gentle manner, Long Aotian possesses considerable pride. When he learned that Han Yu had been personally appointed and might hold the Young Sect Master position, he resolved to challenge him if his strength proved inadequate, holding that status in the Body Sect should be determined by power. 74

Upon Han Yu's return six years later, Long Aotian confronted him and later dueled him. As a Rank 58 Battle Soul King with a second-awakened Body Martial Soul, he defeated Han Yu even after offering to restrain his cultivation to the Soul Elder level. Han Yu's loss and the pressure of the duel contributed to the evolution of his Sharingan, while Long Aotian recognized Han Yu's potential. 75 76

Long Aotian later became a regular member of Han Yu's competition teams. He fought alongside Yu Mengdi during Zheng Tian Academy's match against Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, represented Snow Demon Sect against Earth Dragon Gate, and displayed enough dominance to defeat three opposing competitors in succession. 111 263 265

During the Snow Demon Sect's confrontation with the Holy Spirit Sect, he sought out Tang Ya specifically because he believed a battle against an equal Soul Sage could improve him. He was injured in their clash, then defeated the Evil Soul Master Lu Genggeng with overwhelming force. 322 323 325 He subsequently gave everything he had against Huo Yuhao, using both his second awakening and Martial Soul Avatar before being severely injured by Huo Yuhao's eighth-ring attack. 326 327 328

Appearance

Long Aotian is a towering, heavily built young man whose physique reflects the Body Sect's body-refinement path. By his later appearances, he stands nearly two meters tall, with broad shoulders, a wide back, and pronounced musculature. 75 322

• Long hair described as red at his introduction and brown-red in later appearances, parted down the middle with smooth strands framing his face. 2 75
• Long, narrow eyes with an icy gaze; straight nose and square mouth. 2 322
• Fair, exceptionally smooth skin with a jade-like luster and faint radiance flowing beneath it. 75 322
• His physique can expand dramatically during combat, reaching roughly four meters in height when using Berserk God Slash. 126
• During Martial Soul Possession, his skin takes on jade, dark-gold, or golden-armored forms. 75 264 324

Personality

Long Aotian is respectful toward elders and outwardly cordial toward fellow disciples, but he is also blunt, proud, and intensely competitive. He believes the Body Sect should recognize strength above titles or reputation, and he is willing to challenge anyone whose ability he doubts. 2 74

He values fair combat and personal strength. He offered to restrain his cultivation against the weaker Han Yu, intended to suppress himself to the Soul King realm against Xu Shenshu, and refused to keep attacking once Xu Shenshu conceded. 75 263 265 His pride also makes him reluctant to use defensive Soul Tools such as an Invincible Shield, which he considers close to admitting defeat. 323 328

Against Evil Soul Masters, Long Aotian is ruthless. He showed no pity after defeating Lu Genggeng, viewing the eradication of Evil Soul Masters as necessary to prevent future harm. 325
