Background / History

Long Haochen first visits Knight Sacred Mountain as a Third Rank knight seeking a spirit-beast partner. His exceptional Light affinity causes him to uncontrollably draw in the mountain's Light Elements, placing him in danger until Ying Suifeng cuts off the influx. 11

He later enters the Sacred Mountain with Lin Feng through a teleportation array intended to locate compatible magical beasts. Despite Ye Hua's fears over the array's danger, Haochen insists on proceeding. 13 16 He ultimately contracts Haoyue, an initially underestimated Earthfire Lizard whose repeated evolutions reveal an extraordinary and dangerous nature. 41 117

During the Demon Hunt Squad Selection, Haochen becomes increasingly determined to close the gap between himself and Lin Feng. He defeats the Fifth Stage Guardian Knight Duan Yi as a Fourth Stage Punishment Knight, then faces Lin Feng in the final. Although defeated, he forces Lin Feng to take the match seriously through Haoyue's armor transformation, the Miracle Sword Blue Rain, and advanced sword techniques. 75 110 115 117 121

Haochen later struggles with jealousy toward Lin Feng's talent and recognition. Iliex confronts him over these feelings and offers him an inheritance, which Haochen completes in the Eternal Tower. He subsequently begins distancing himself from Lin Feng in an effort to walk his own path. 224 226 244

The revelation that he carries the Demon God Emperor's bloodline leads to his imprisonment by the Temple Alliance and a confrontation with the Demon God Emperor, who seeks to bring him into the Demon Race. 289 298 Austin Griffin exploits Haochen's insecurity and eventually takes control of his body, turning him into the God of Heavenly Scourge. 304 307 308

After enduring the Blood Fiend Blazing Purgatory, Haochen's Heaven Defying Demon Dragon Bloodline fully awakens. Though pressured by A'Bao and Austin Griffin, he remains reluctant to act against Demon Hunt Squads. 340 During the later war, his soul falls dormant while Austin Griffin's influence persists; Haoyue reveals that Haochen deliberately preserved a final shred of consciousness by making Lin Feng his intended final opponent. 475 476

Following the Human-Demon War, Haochen refuses the leadership of the Knight Temple out of guilt over the damage caused through Austin Griffin's possession. He instead continues serving at Dragon Control Pass alongside Han Yu. 490

Personality

Long Haochen is respectful toward his mentors and deeply protective of those he considers friends. He is initially eager and curious, particularly about contracting a magical-beast companion, but repeatedly displays courage when confronted with danger. 11 16

His relationship with Lin Feng is defined by admiration, rivalry, and recurring insecurity. Haochen wants to prove that he can stand beside Lin Feng rather than remain in his shadow; this ambition becomes a source of jealousy and self-doubt before he accepts the need to pursue his own path. 67 113 224 226

Despite Austin Griffin's attempts to weaponize his resentment, Haochen refuses to blame Lin Feng for his own struggles. He acknowledges his jealousy while remaining loyal to Lin Feng and motivated by a desire to help him. 304
