Background

Long Yu transmigrated from Earth into Holy Spirit Village, retaining memories of a novel set in the Douluo Continent. As an orphan, he used those memories to help Holy Spirit Village develop tourism around the village’s connection to a former Soul Saint, earning the villagers’ admiration despite being only six years old. 1

Unlike many people around him, Long Yu viewed Spirit Hall favorably for its free Martial Soul awakenings, subsidies for low-level Soul Masters, protection of ordinary people, and role in balancing the continent’s major powers. After his awakening, he declared that forces hostile to Spirit Hall would be his enemies and voluntarily joined the organization. 1 4

His awakening revealed the Dragon God Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power at Level 20. The Martial Soul’s divine dragon aura suppressed Su Yuntao and drew attention from major figures in Spirit Hall, the Elder Hall, the Star Dou Great Forest, and the God Realm. To avoid attracting hostile gods, Long Yu publicly used the name “Nine-Colored Dragon” for his Martial Soul. 2 3 5

Long Yu later inherited the Dragon God Core, became the focal leader of the Soul Beast race, and fused the superior Yinglong Bloodline and Martial Soul into himself. He ultimately committed himself to changing the unequal relationship between humans and Soul Beasts, reviving Dragon Valley, and challenging the God Realm. 155 281 384 385

Appearance

Long Yu is described as exceptionally handsome, with sword-like brows, starry eyes, sharp facial features, and long black hair. After fusing with the Yinglong Bloodline, his skin became more flawless and carried a faint golden glow that heightened his noble and mysterious bearing. 78 171 281

Personality

Long Yu is calculating and informed by his knowledge of the original story. He frequently plans around future threats, identifies weaknesses in other people’s schemes, and hides the true nature of his Martial Soul when revealing it would be dangerous. His deductions concerning Qian Renxue’s impersonation plan and Tang San’s Twin Martial Souls demonstrate his analytical approach. 5 36 93

He is highly confident in his own strength and can be dismissive of opponents he considers beneath him. However, he also trains relentlessly, seeks stronger opponents for practical experience, and recognizes the value of combat techniques beyond Martial Souls. 33 49 100

Long Yu is protective toward those he considers his own, including Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Gu Yuena, Hu Liena, and the Soul Beast race. His pursuit of power is tied to protecting them and eventually opposing the God Realm on behalf of Soul Beasts. 161 207 281 385
