Background

Lu Yuan entered the Training Camp at six years old and immediately declined Yuan Xin's invitation to join Nether Gate, choosing to stand alone. His performance soon drew attention after he repelled Qin Yuan without Martial Soul Possession and defeated Li Zhi with a single punch. 31 34 35

He joined Spirit Hall at age six and became Bibi Dong's disciple. There, he trained against Soul Masters daily, practiced the Vast Sea Spear Art, and gained the attention of Qian Daoliu because of his Golden Dragon Spirit. 51 56 889

Lu Yuan met Qian Renxue in Plum Garden and became unusually open around her despite his normally guarded nature. Though she initially defeated him with ease, he accepted the loss and treated it as motivation to improve. 57 59 60

While traveling with the injured Zhu Zhuqing, Lu Yuan protected and treated her wounds. After learning of her engagement to Dai Mubai, he promised to dissolve the marriage contract even if it meant confronting the Star Luo Imperial Family. 115 118 119

Appearance

Lu Yuan is repeatedly noted for his white robes, black hair, Double Pupils, and an aloof, immortal-like bearing. His Golden Dragon Bloodline causes unusually rapid physical development; at twelve, he is already 1.85 meters tall. 179 245

• Usually wears white cloud-silk robes, often with a white jade belt. 245 1109
• Has long black hair and mysterious Double Pupils. 179 328
• Wears a Purple Jade Qilin Pendant and Gu Yuena's Silver Reverse Scale. 245
• During Golden Dragon Spirit possession, golden scales appear on his hands and cheeks, with a diamond-shaped golden scale on his forehead. 233
• His battle presence can shift from restrained elegance to an overwhelming, spear-like majesty. 561

Personality

Lu Yuan is intensely independent, proud, and committed to self-improvement. He rejects dependence on factions or teachers beyond Bibi Dong, trains without wasting time, and views strength as the foundation for pursuing his goals. 31 35 79

His caution stems from the intrigues of his previous life; he normally keeps his guard up even around allies. Qian Renxue is a major exception, as he instinctively lowers his defenses around her. 57

He is direct to the point of bluntness, openly acknowledges his pride, and can be ruthless toward enemies or those who provoke him. However, he does not consider indiscriminate cruelty worthwhile: he distinguishes swift execution from needless torture and seeks to protect those under his care. 701 789 1122

Lu Yuan is also politically tactful when necessary. He declared Qian Daoliu and Long Xiaoyao's battle a draw to preserve both men's reputations, earning respect for his judgment. 327

Abilities & Skills

Golden Dragon Spirit and Bloodline

Lu Yuan's primary dragon Martial Soul is associated with the Golden Dragon Spirit and later identified as the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon King. Its bloodline gives him extraordinary physical growth, overwhelming Dragon Might, and formidable resilience. 51 61 871

• Dragon Might can suppress dragon-type opponents; Yu Yuanzhen is forced to the ground by it. 871
• His bloodline grants tremendous physical power, allowing him to restrain Qian Renxue despite her divine strength. 1153
• He avoids human-form Dragonification because the scales covering his face are, in his view, unattractive. 871
