Background / History

Wu Zhangkong studied in Shrek Academy’s Inner Court under Red Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi. During his time there, he was among the most outstanding talents of his generation and was once considered likely to become a Sea God’s Pavilion Elder. Shen Yi was his close junior disciple. 89 104

He later became Eastsea Academy’s undisputed strongest person and was assigned as Freshman Class Five’s homeroom teacher. His students initially regarded placement in Class Five as punishment because it was the academy’s lowest-ranked freshman class. 32 57

After recognizing the exceptional potential of students such as Yu Nanyuan and Gu Yue, Wu reorganized and trained the group as Freshman Class Zero. He emphasized actual combat, knowledge of Soul Beasts, and repeated high-pressure sparring over conventional classroom instruction. 64 66

Appearance

Wu Zhangkong is a notably tall, striking man whose austere appearance matches his cold demeanor. He consistently wears white and carries himself with an upright, almost detached bearing. 32 107

• Over 1.9 meters tall. 32
• Lake-blue hair that falls to his waist. 32
• Dark-green eyes. 32
• High nose bridge and thin lips. 32
• Usually dressed in immaculate white clothing. 32 107
• When wielding the Sky Frost Sword, he is described as “white clothes and blue sword,” with the bearing of an immortal. 85

Personality

Wu Zhangkong is icy, restrained, and sparing with words. His students often find his presence intimidating; even a simple instruction from him carries a chilling pressure. 32

Despite his apparent indifference, he is an incisive observer who identifies the specific shortcomings of each student. He does not flatter them or soften his evaluations, but his harsh instruction is directed toward making them stronger and more self-reliant. 65 84

His emotional reserve conceals deep feeling. Yu Nanyuan’s extraordinary talent unsettles him enough to awaken painful memories, and familiar places in Heaven Dou City cause visible melancholy and longing. 48 177
