Background / History

Lan Linglong was introduced at the Heaven and Earth Dojo as Kong Yunzhang's second disciple. She administers the dojo's free-martial-arts examinations, explaining that applicants are assessed on strength, aptitude, and Martial Arts Talent before being matched with a suitable technique 7 8.

After Kong Yunzhang accepts Lu Sheng as his third disciple, Lan Linglong is assigned to guide his cultivation. She arranges for him to attend school during the day and train at the dojo afterward, revealing herself to be a Viscera Refining Realm martial artist—one of fewer than twenty in Cloud City 11 12.

Her instruction is notably strict despite her usual gentleness. Under her supervision, Lu Sheng trains Arhat Fist and advances from Blood Qi Layer Four to Layer Six in two weeks 12. She then shifts his training toward real combat, taking him beyond Cloud City to fight Fierce Beasts while covertly monitoring his safety 13 14 15.

When the Bai Family dispatches a steward to assassinate Lu Sheng, Lan Linglong intervenes. She calms Lu Sheng, calls him family, and kills the attacker despite his threats concerning the Bai Family's Viscera Refining martial artist 21 23. She later reassures Lu Sheng that Kong Yunzhang, Kong Xin, and the Heaven and Earth Dojo will stand behind him 23.

During the Demonic Cult's attack on Cloud City, Lan Linglong initially attempts to bring Lu Sheng back to the dojo for safety. Upon seeing civilians under attack, she instead fights alongside him, declaring Cloud City's defense their responsibility 49. After Kong Yunzhang is injured, she remains at his bedside and later travels with him, Kong Xin, and Lu Sheng to Jiangnan City so he can receive treatment from the Medical Saint 52 53 56.

Appearance

Lan Linglong is a gentle-looking young woman whose appearance contrasts sharply with her formidable cultivation.

• Smooth, jade-like complexion and a mild smile likened to a spring breeze 7.
• Soft, melodious voice described as heavenly 7.
• Usually seen reading while dressed in loose, comfortable clothing 8 13.
• Wears a fitted black combat uniform during wilderness training and combat operations 14 21.
• Carries a thin, cicada-wing-like sword that manifests sword qi 49.

Personality

Lan Linglong is calm, graceful, and affectionate toward the Heaven and Earth Dojo's disciples. She treats Lu Sheng as family rather than merely a junior disciple, offering comfort when he is overwhelmed and openly assuring him that the dojo will support him against danger 23.

Her gentleness does not prevent her from being demanding or decisive. As Lu Sheng's instructor, she punishes mistakes and maintains a harsh training standard because she recognizes his potential 12. When Lu Sheng or the dojo is threatened, her demeanor turns cold and lethal; the Bai Family's intimidation does not dissuade her from protecting him 21 23.
