Background / History

Long Haochen grew up in Odin Town alongside Ye Tian, whose family lived near his own. Even as a child, he saved his weekly Essence Cultivation Liquid for his mother, Bai Yue, rather than use it for himself. His effort allowed him to cross the ten-point Spiritual Energy threshold without the medicine and qualify as a Knight Attendant. 1

After an encounter involving the Thousand Strikes Spirit Furnace strengthened and purified his body, Long Haochen's Spiritual Energy rose from eleven to twenty-five. Long Xingyu subsequently took him as a personal student for three years, subjecting him to punishing physical, meditative, and theoretical training. 4 12

Long Xingyu later personally conducted Long Haochen's Sacred Awakening. The process purged impurities from his body and revealed innate internal spiritual energy of ninety-seven, confirming his exceptional affinity for Light. 14

Appearance

Long Haochen is a petite, exceptionally pretty boy whose appearance is frequently mistaken for that of a girl. His youthful looks contrast with the composed manner he displays in combat and formal settings. 10 37

• Described as having a “beautiful face” and being unusually cute for a boy. 1 10
• Was mistaken for Ye Tian's “little sister” by Li Xin. 10
• During Sacred Awakening, his eyes briefly became golden and his skin gained a faint golden luster. 14
• Commonly fights with a shield and sword; he can equip dual swords when using his Punishment Knight techniques. 11 61

Personality

Long Haochen is diligent, humble, and intensely determined. He considers Ye Tian the standard he must surpass, accepts harsh training to become strong enough to protect Bai Yue, and continues cultivating even after victories. 4 12 150

He consistently acts according to knightly ideals. He aids Sima Xian when the priest is attacked, offers to surrender his own opportunity when Li Xin's future is at stake, and pleads for Han Yu after defeating him and seeing him face expulsion. His conduct is described as embodying the Ten Great Knight's Codes. 1 53 62 64

While ordinarily modest, Long Haochen can be confident and calculating in battle. He exploits an arrogant opponent's overconfidence, calmly accepts a heavily unfavorable wager against an experienced squad, and manipulates Huang Shuo's desperation to obtain ten Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Magic Crystals. 61 200 286

Abilities & Skills

Guardian and Punishment Knight Cultivation

Long Haochen cultivates as both a Guardian Knight and a Punishment Knight rather than abandoning one path for the other. This lets him combine high-level defense with sudden offensive bursts. 61

• Divine Guard Block — A defensive skill normally associated with sixth-rank Radiant Knights; it creates a golden phantom and powerful repelling force. He used it during his assessment and against opponents including Gui Wu and Ye Tian. 11 58 88
• Charge — A secret technique that compresses Spiritual Energy for a burst attack. Its energy must be released within three seconds or it dissipates. 57 58
• Light's Vengeance + Light Slash Sword — A combined offensive technique that defeated Gui Wu after he blocked the latter's charge. 58
• Ascension Array, Holy Light Shield, Sun Slash, Lightning Stab, and Holy Sword — Used in succession to defeat a stronger Fifth Order opponent despite being injured. 61
• Holy Sword Cross Slash — A dual-sword attack used at full strength during his final-round duel with Ye Tian. 88

Blood Pact with Haoyue

At Knight Holy Mountain, Long Haochen forms a Blood Pact with Haoyue, a magic beast initially believed to be an ordinary one-headed lizard. Their pact allows Haoyue's evolution to feed back into Long Haochen's own growth. 36 75 152

• Haoyue can teleport Long Haochen to its location when it faces danger. 74 75
• Haoyue evolved from a Fourth Order beast to a Sixth Order, three-headed magic beast during the selection competition. 75
• After absorbing the Demon God's Crown, Haoyue later evolves again into a Seventh Order magic beast. 153 202
• Long Haochen can combine with Haoyue through Fusion and Spirit Burning for a major temporary power increase, but is left weakened afterward. 338
• He considers Haoyue his partner, family, and younger sibling, and vows to protect and nurture it regardless of its potential value to the Alliance. 152

Sacred Pull Spiritual Furnace

Long Haochen possesses the Sacred Pull Spiritual Furnace, an ability Lin Xin considers especially valuable for a Guardian Knight. It makes Long Haochen a highly reliable defensive teammate for more vulnerable allies such as mages. 52

Divine Favor Physique

Long Haochen's innate internal spiritual energy of ninety-seven qualifies him for the Divine Favor Physique, a talent associated with those whose innate internal spiritual energy exceeds ninety. 14 275

• Awakening enables its bearer to borrow power from a corresponding god and potentially reach a god-like existence. 275
• Long Haochen's later awakening is tied to the Goddess of Light's Aria, which recognizes him as its wielder. 302 303
• His awakened state gives him the confidence to contend with Seventh Order opponents and, with Haoyue's fusion, potentially defeat an Eighth Order Yak Demon leader. 336

• Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Magic Crystal — Given to him by Ye Tian after the Dream Forest mission; he initially refuses it out of humility before accepting. 288

Relationships

• Long Xingyu — Father and personal instructor. Long Xingyu trained Long Haochen for three years and conducted his Sacred Awakening. 4 14
• Haoyue — Blood-pact magic beast, mount, partner, and family member. Their growth is mutually linked. 36 75 152
• Li Xin — Sister-like companion who supports him in competitions and forfeits rather than fight him in an elimination match. 11 64
• Ye Hua — Instructor and mentor who encourages Long Haochen before difficult matches and worries over his safety. 58 60 75
• Han Yu — Former opponent who becomes Long Haochen's Retainer Knight after Long Haochen pleads for mercy on his behalf. 62
• Lin Xin — Mage teammate who invests in Long Haochen with a valuable stone ball and potions before joining his Demon Hunter Squad. 52 89
