Background / History

Lu Changsheng began as an apprentice of the Miraculous Garden. Though his martial talent was initially described as ordinary, he studied relentlessly and benefited from memories of a previous life; Master Mo regarded him as unusually gifted in academics. 3 He cultivated through repeated mastery of martial skills, gaining Comprehension that accelerated his ability to learn techniques. After perfecting twenty of twenty-one martial skills, his Comprehension rose to 147. 10

Seeking stronger martial arts, he entered the black market and formed a transactional alliance with Li Hongzhuang. He saved her from the Zhao Clan, later helped her obtain revenge against the Cui Family, and pursued the Marrow Transformation Pill and Divine Strength Realm techniques alongside her. 22 53 59

Lu Changsheng subsequently adopted several identities while operating in the jianghu. As Zhuang Thirteen, he destroyed the Thirteen Desert Cavalry and acquired the Heavenly Treasure Transformation Secret Method and Raging Waves Divine Strength Technique. 67 69 As Dao Twelve and Thirteen of Nanyang Manor, he established a fearsome reputation through victories over Divine Strength Realm experts and hostile sect forces. 80 107

After arriving in Zhanhai Prefecture, he joined the Four Seas Gang's Medical Hall as an Ordinary Physician to gain merit, martial arts, and resources. He accepted Lu Yang and Zhang Xuan as apprentices, protected them from Chen Yan's followers, and developed scarless wound treatment as a medical specialty. 98 99

He later entered the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect, becoming known as the “First Divine Gang” after defeating stronger opponents, evolving domains, and killing Divine Treasury Realm martial artists despite remaining in the Divine Gang Realm. 154 162 163 His advancement continued through the Holy Land, where he became Lu Venerable, founded the Sacred Land Heavenly Sect, and ultimately slew the Black Light Martial Saint with his Immeasurable Divine Ability. 217 234

In a later identity as Lu Yuan, he created the Extreme Martial Path Style in a world where martial arts had declined under firearms. He founded the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, challenged Pan City's martial arts community, and promoted the style through overwhelming demonstrations of physical power. 253 256 262

Personality

Lu Changsheng is pragmatic, calculating, and intensely focused on cultivation. He treats knowledge, martial techniques, rare resources, and alliances as means to strengthen himself, yet he prepares carefully before confronting major forces. 3 53 102

He is ruthless toward threats and often kills opponents decisively, particularly those who endanger allies or obstruct his objectives. This is evident in his executions of Zhao Clan members, Chen Yan's apprentices, the Five Peaks Squad, and multiple hostile sect forces. 22 99 154 472

Despite this ruthlessness, he honors agreements and protects people who have earned his trust. He fulfilled his promise to Zhang Shu, defended the Li Family's interests, and rescued Lin Qingluan from Hunyuan Ancestor. 233 238 493
