Background / History

Li Yunlong was commanding the Independent Regiment in the Bright Sword Dust World when Divine Court Academy selected him. Time in his home world stopped, and he was taken to the Primordial World while Zhao Gang was reprimanding him for lacking organization and discipline. 27

He arrived in Primordial City confused and initially drew little interest from primordial powerhouses, with Di Jun judging his aptitude as weak. Xiao Yan, Flame Fire, and other Blue Star natives nonetheless recognized him and saluted him as “Chief.” 28 Li Yunlong later entered the Free Cultivator Academy and cultivated relentlessly, reaching the Innate Realm. 29 31

Personality

Li Yunlong is blunt, audacious, and intensely patriotic. He sees the Bright Sword mission as an opportunity not merely to earn points, but to drive the invaders out of China. He can be rough in speech and dismissive of excessive procedure, yet he is willing to listen when Lin Ye and the others offer practical intelligence that can prevent unnecessary losses. 31 32

As a commander, he inspires confidence through decisive plans and personal example. He readily takes responsibility for high-risk operations, from the assault on Ping'an County Town to directly challenging the Japanese First Army at Taiyuan. 32 39 40

Abilities & Skills

Innate Cultivation

Li Yunlong’s cultivation grants him physical power and mobility far beyond an ordinary soldier.

• Can stand and move through the air during combat. 36 40
• His killing intent and emotional fluctuations can manifest outwardly and shake opponents. 32
• Initially remained vulnerable to simultaneous artillery bombardment despite reaching the Innate Realm. 31

Marksmanship and Firearms Handling

Li Yunlong combines military firearms with superhuman strength and accuracy.

• Drew a heavy machine gun into his hand while suspended in midair, then operated it one-handed. 36
• Fired controlled bursts with near-perfect precision, killing defenders on the city wall one shot at a time. 36
• Used a Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun to kill division commander Sakata Seventy-Eight from roughly one thousand meters away. 41

Command and Strategy

Li Yunlong is a battlefield commander capable of adapting conventional operations around his team’s supernatural strength.

• Divided the academy team between intercepting reinforcements and breaking into Ping'an County Town. 32
• Sealed roads and laid several thousand landmines around Ping'an County Town before the assault. 35
• Recognized that Shinozuka Yoshio concentrating his forces around Taiyuan would make the enemy easier to destroy in one battle. 42
• Persuaded his initially hesitant teammates to join the direct assault on Taiyuan. 40

Great Red Lotus Mecha

Li Yunlong operates and upgrades the Great Red Lotus Mecha, whose core is powered by spiral power—a spiritual force driven by will.

• Unleashed the Mecha’s power during the attack on Blackbeard’s Black Sun, enlarging it and firing a massive chest-mounted energy blast. 57
• Continues upgrading the Mecha after learning about its spiral-power core. 58

• Lin Ye — Academy teammate whose knowledge of the Bright Sword timeline helps Li Yunlong adjust the Ping'an operation to avoid earlier sacrifices and save Xiuqin. 32
• Feng Yuxiu — Fellow academy student and frontline ally. Li Yunlong approves Feng Yuxiu’s execution of Yamamoto Ippon. 31 37
• Luffy — Academy teammate recruited after Li Yunlong tempted him with food from the Bright Sword World. Li Yunlong later orders him to use Ninth Gear against Taiyuan’s gate. 31 43
