Power Progression

Background / History

As a young woman, Liu Erlong lived alone in a small Soul Hunting Forest near Heaven Dou City. She refused to identify with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan: her father, Yu Luomian, had abandoned her and her mother, though her mother had wished for her return to the clan 235 258.

Zu Zong traveled thirty-four years into the past and met her there under the name Lan Zong. After defeating her in a martial-soul match, he grew close to her, taught her the Body Flicker Technique, and helped her obtain her fourth Soul Ring. She confessed her feelings to him before his eventual disappearance 234 237 246 256.

Liu Erlong searched for Xiao Zong for years. She later agreed to Yu Xiaogang’s proposal in an attempt to draw him out, but the wedding ended when her father revealed that she and Yu Xiaogang were cousins. She went on to lead Blue Tyrant Academy, Shrek Academy’s predecessor 112 246.

Decades later, she initially mistook the thirteen-year-old Zu Zong for Xiao Zong. After checking his age, she instead believed he was Xiao Zong’s child and became protective of him. Tang Yuehua subsequently suggested that Zu Zong himself might have traveled into the past, but warned Liu Erlong not to seek an answer before events had run their course 112 113 156.

Appearance

In adulthood, Liu Erlong appears to be in her thirties, with blue hair, black eyes, and a mature figure 112.

• In her youth, she has long black hair and wears a fitted black leather outfit 237.
• When Zu Zong first meets her older self, she wears a simple blue cloth dress and a kerchief over her hair 112.

Personality

Liu Erlong is fierce and competitive, but accepts a fair defeat. She challenges the much stronger Zu Zong in her youth and acknowledges losing after he binds her with his vines 234. Her guarded manner softens as she comes to trust him; his disappearance leaves her grieving for decades 235 112.

She is protective of people close to her. Believing the young Zu Zong to be Xiao Zong’s child, she offers him a home and nearly goes to confront Dugu Bo after hearing that he captured him 113. At Sea God Island, she volunteers to face the first crossing so the younger women can learn from her attempt 467.
