Background / History

Lu Chenzhou began as a student of modest family means and inferior root bone. He trained at Flying Swallow Martial Arts Hall, where repeated sparring established his reputation and helped him enter the hall’s social circle. He viewed fame as a means to obtain resources and intended to build that reputation through the Myriad Nations Martial Arts Association. 17

He entered Longcheng Martial Arts University after displaying exceptional progress in Black Tiger Fist and Over Mountain Body. His rapid advancement earned institutional support through the Key Focus List, including doubled supplements and private instruction. 43 55

Lu Chenzhou initially specialized in Tiger Form martial arts, hard qigong, Heavenly Stance, and acupoint cultivation. He later expanded into spear techniques, choosing the Tiger Heart Spear as his primary long weapon because it suited his Tiger Form temperament. 206

His travels through Great Xia’s historical sites—including Wudang, Shaolin, Kunlun, and Mount Everest—deepened his martial understanding. These experiences developed his inner Martial Dao Tree, shaped his fist principles, and led to the creation of original spear techniques. 272 285 287
