Background & History

Lu Changfeng was fifteen when he joined the declining Changle Martial Arts School. His family’s inner-city residence had been sold, leaving him and Chun Zhu in a modest outer-city courtyard once owned by his parents. Zhang Desheng verified his clean local background, recognized his exceptional bone structure, and accepted him as his fourth personal disciple. 1 3

Under Zhang Desheng, Lu trained obsessively in Mount Le’s Wrathful Vajra. He cultivated beyond his daily sessions, rapidly entered the Blood Tempering Realm, and began using his Copy Interface to acquire talent from other martial artists. His first documented copied talent was Li Youtian’s Mid-grade Swordsmanship Talent. 4 5

Zhang Desheng’s death profoundly changed Lu’s goals. After inheriting part of his master’s estate, Lu entered seclusion and began pursuing “eternal martial arts longevity” rather than strength alone. He raised his cultivation to Blood Tempering Sixth Level, perfected several martial arts, and built a collection of high-grade talents. 23 24

To gain access to stronger talent and techniques, Lu infiltrated the Wang Family as the blade specialist “Lu Ren.” His service as a worshipper gave him access to the family’s Scripture Pavilion, Wang Yue’s missions, and the dangerous Seven Styles of Fengtian, which he developed into the Heavenly Body Tempering Blade Technique. 24 27 28

After learning that the Wang Family intended to destroy the Liu Family, Lu risked exposure to warn Liu Kui and escort Liu Ye from Fengcheng. He later rejected Wang Yue’s request to remain with the Wang Family and departed after killing Liu Li and wounding Liu An. 40 41

In Jiangzhou, Lu rebuilt the Changle Martial Arts School around swordsmanship, defeated Zhao Yan to become Five Horse Street’s fifth Blood Tempering swordsman, and created the Storm Body Tempering Sword Technique. He began accepting and training disciples, including Lin Yan and Han Fan. 49 50 58

Lu’s growing strength and public reputation brought him into the orbit of the Holy Demon Gate. Mysterious figures addressed him as the “Holy Lord,” and he eventually assumed that position while preserving his public identity as Lu Changfeng, one of Jiangnan’s Nine Heroes. 63 97 115

As Holy Lord, he organized demon sect forces, captured cities, made a temporary arrangement with Xuanming Cult leader Li Tianxing, and used Lin Erfeng to stabilize conquered territory. 111 113

After centuries of cultivation, cloning, and exploration, Lu crossed from the Mystic Realm into the Heart Realm. Through the Lu You identity, he entered Rakshasa Academy, developed Rakshasa Sword Intent, and later became captain of Imperial Mirror Vanguard Team Thirteen. 211 218 243

Appearance

Lu developed from a talented but impoverished teenager into an exceptionally imposing martial artist. At Blood Tempering Second Level, he stood 1.88 meters tall and weighed 95 kilograms; by the journey to Luocheng, he stood over two meters tall and carried three weapons. 7 31

• Tall, muscular, and sharply defined rather than bulky; his physique is built for explosive force. 7
• Described as handsome and heroic, with an imposing presence that draws attention on Five Horse Street. 46
• Often appears in a moon-colored robe with the Autumn Water Longsword at his waist when acting as the public swordsman Lu Changfeng. 83
• Uses transformation techniques to maintain distinct identities, including the purple-robed Holy Lord persona. 98
• In demonic activation, his body grows, scales cover his skin, chaotic energy surrounds him, and a black dragon eye appears on his forehead. 180
• As Lu You in the Heart Realm, he appears as a blue-haired, blue-eyed youth. 218

Personality

Lu is intensely self-motivated and pragmatic. He accepts dangerous opportunities, infiltrates powerful factions, collects techniques, and treats resources, intelligence, and talent as essential tools for survival and longevity. Zhang Desheng’s death convinced him that combat strength alone was insufficient; he seeks a path beyond mortality. 23 24

He is cautious rather than reckless. He prepares extensively before major fights, maintains separate public and Holy Lord identities, and refuses obligations that could restrict his martial pursuit. His decision to leave Wang Yue and Fengcheng reflects his belief that marriage and children would create responsibilities he was unwilling to undertake at that point in his life. 42 57

Despite his ambition, Lu repeatedly protects people he considers his own. He encourages Li Youtian, saves Black Ox from gang life, warns the Liu Family at great personal risk, supports Chun Zhu’s cultivation, and invests heavily in his disciples’ growth. 5 17 40 58

Abilities & Skills

Copy Interface

Lu’s defining ability is an interface that examines targets’ bone structure, talents, and—later—realms and bloodlines. It allows him to replicate compatible traits and fuse duplicate talents into stronger versions. 5 16 194

• Copied Li Youtian’s Mid-grade Swordsmanship Talent, initiating his sword-focused path. 5
• Fused four Swordsmanship Talents into the High-grade Swordsman Talent. 16
• Fused four High-grade Sword Dao talents into the Super-grade Longevity Sword Dao. 57
• Fused four High-grade Blade Technique Talents into the Super-grade Annihilation Blade Domain. 123
• Replication is limited by a cooldown interval, which varies across his progression. 16 58

Longevity Sword Dao

A Super-grade Sword Dao talent created by fusing four High-grade Sword Dao talents. It strengthens Lu by absorbing sword techniques. 57

• Each absorbed sword technique increases his lifespan and sword-strike power. 57
• Allows a more formless style of swordsmanship, helping him anticipate and counter opponents without relying on fixed moves. 58
• After a century of cultivation, it had granted 405 years of lifespan and a 102% combat-power increase. 199

Sword Intent and Saber Intent

Lu possesses exceptional comprehension of martial intent, first condensing Fierce Wind Sword Intent from the comparatively ordinary Gale Sword Technique. 16

• Fierce Wind Sword Intent — Initially increased sword technique power by 50% without additional consumption. 16
• Storm Sword Intent — An Intermediate Sword Intent that increased sword-strike power by 200%. 58
• Death Sword Intent — Reached the second stage of Advanced Sword Intent through sparring and later manifested as Death’s Shadow. 173 199
• Fengtian Saber Intent — Advanced Saber Intent capable of manifesting the Heaven Slaying Blade with up to 800% burst power. 199
• Rakshasa Sword Intent — Condensed through Rakshasa Academy’s sword art; later reached five-star and six-star levels, manifesting as a Chaos Rakshasa Sword. 221 226 229

Annihilation Blade Domain

A Super-grade blade talent that accumulates Annihilation Value indefinitely for release at Lu’s discretion. 123

• Its stored Annihilation Energy can be built up over time rather than expiring. 123
• Lu used one thousand points of Annihilation Value to annihilate the Spirit Condensation-level Demon Corpse Body in a single saber strike. 199
• Its recorded reserve later exceeded 45,000 points. 199

Demonic Bloodlines

Lu acquired and transferred multiple demonic bloodlines, using them for physical amplification, disguise, healing, spatial abilities, and combat. 77 100 180

• Ancient Sword Bone Dragon — Provides a 30% physical boost and the Sword Bone Demonic Rain skill, but its low concentration inflicts continuous strain on his body. 77
• Ancient Ba Serpent — Grants Ba Serpent Space, a controllable storage dimension of roughly one hundred cubic meters at 10% bloodline concentration. 100
• Primordial Chaos Demon Dragon — Provides Chaos Power, concealment, free flight through chaos, Dragon Space, Chaos Reincarnation, Dragon’s Wrath, Demon Dragon Nirvana, and Dragon Scale Clone. 180
• Demon Dragon Nirvana — Rapidly heals injuries as long as Lu retains Dragon Yuan. 180
• Higher stages of Chaos Demon Dragon activation dramatically improve his physical power but place severe strain on his body. 180 211

Transformation and Clone Techniques

Lu copied Transformation Technique Talent to sustain his separate identities and evade recognition. 97

• Myriad Transformations alters his appearance and supports his Holy Lord persona. 97
• Dragon Scale Clone allows him to create independent bodies carrying his chaotic consciousness. 180
• Simultaneous control of multiple clone bodies causes mental exhaustion. 176
• His clones have served as infiltrators, students, investigators, and inheritors of his accumulated knowledge. 150 205 243

Martial Dao Formations

Lu learned martial dao formations from Qiankun Daoist’s knowledge and the Fuxi Formation Diagram Record. 180 198

• Mastered basic, intermediate, and advanced formation runes over a century of study. 198 199
• Uses formations for concealment, defense, gathering Origin Energy, and combat control. 186 198
• Can employ formations to create specialized training environments, including spiritual-energy-enhancing plum blossom stakes. 202

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Autumn Water Longsword — A Treasure Artifact carried during the Luocheng journey and worn publicly as the swordsman Lu Changfeng. 31 83
• Raw iron great saber — Initially a two-hundred-jin weapon for body-tempering practice; later increased to three hundred jin for the Heavenly Body Tempering Blade Technique. 31 58
• Fine iron long saber — Carried alongside his great saber and longsword. 31
• Rakshasa Sword — A weapon supplied by Rakshasa Academy director Mo Yuan, suited to Lu’s Rakshasa Sword Intent. 229
• Ba Serpent Space — A bloodline-created storage dimension used as portable inventory space. 100

Relationships

• Zhang Desheng — Master and founder of Changle Martial Arts School; accepted Lu as his fourth personal disciple and taught him Mount Le’s Wrathful Vajra. His death drove Lu’s pursuit of longevity. 3 23
• Chun Zhu — Longtime attendant, cultivation supporter, and later spouse. Lu nullified her servant contract, but she continued caring for him by choice and supplied Silkworm Meat during his cultivation. 1 12 28 143
