Background

Ashadlan Malestriex, commonly known as Meng Bai, originates from the ancient Myriad Dragon Nation, a dragon realm far from the Eternal Night Great Forest that has endured through several chaotic epochs. As a Dragon Warrior, she follows her people’s rite of hunting fallen dragonkind to prove bravery and earn honor; she chose the Eternal Night Dragon King as her ultimate target. 240

Her Prophet Ancient Dragon lineage is ancient, noble, and unusually suited to wisdom and transformation rather than direct combat. Looked down upon by her kin, Meng Bai became determined to prove that she could still become a powerful Dragon Warrior. Because she could not yet challenge the Eternal Night Dragon King alone, she joined Thousand Lake City as a base for building power and seeking an opportunity to defeat him. 240

Though she had only been in Thousand Lake City for a century and lacked a local faction, Meng Bai rose to become the Guardian Elder Council’s Second Elder, ranking below only the city’s founder. When the Great Elder entered slumber, she held the city’s highest authority as Acting City Lord. 240

Meng Bai investigated Miracle City after its rapid expansion drew her attention. To avoid exposing her true identity, she assumed human form and entered as an Adventurer, eventually becoming absorbed in Miracle City’s Secret Realms and their potential for both herself and the Dragon Race. 240 292

Appearance

In human form, Meng Bai resembles a delicate, porcelain-doll-like young girl: lively, cute, and seemingly innocent. Her centuries of experience give her a composed, sophisticated bearing that sharply contrasts with that appearance. 240

• Her eyes can turn silver-white when using spatial techniques. 240
• Her true form is a giant Prophet Ancient Dragon, initially described as fifty to sixty meters long. 240
• During her battle with Oma of Blood, her dragon form exceeded eighty meters and bore translucent, gemstone-like scales. 307

Personality

Meng Bai is driven by pride, curiosity, and a desire to earn recognition from the Dragon Race. Her ambition to defeat the Eternal Night Dragon King is both a personal coming-of-age goal and the reason she remained in the Eternal Night Great Forest. 240 249

She is playful and enjoys Miracle City’s entertainment, openly avoiding disciplined training when more enjoyable options are available. Nevertheless, she is exceptionally persistent when challenged, treating repeated defeats as opportunities to study an enemy and refine her approach. 243 252

Her long life has made her cautious and strategic. Meng Bai gathers intelligence before committing to dangerous areas, simulates battles in her mind, adapts her equipment and abilities between attempts, and readily recruits allies when solo strength is insufficient. 243 269 272

Abilities & Skills

Prophet Ancient Dragon Transformation

Meng Bai can transform into other races through a racial talent that alters not merely her appearance, but her flesh and soul. 240

• Her human form grants her the human race’s innate Adventurer Soul, allowing her to enter and explore Secret Realms freely. 240
• Her dragon form substantially increases her offense and defense. 307
• She can assume a giant dragon body more than eighty meters long in combat. 307
• Her lineage is not naturally specialized for direct combat, which originally left her unable to challenge the Eternal Night Dragon King alone. 240

Spatial Movement

Meng Bai possesses advanced spatial abilities suitable for reconnaissance, evasion, and battlefield repositioning. 240 307

• She can tear open space and travel several hundred miles through a spatial rift during the Night of Utmost Darkness. 240
• She repeatedly teleported while fighting Mbawa Mu, dividing its attention and escaping its roots. 317
• She used spatial movement to evade Oma of Blood’s tracking Dark Curse Blood Feathers. 307

Combat Analysis

Meng Bai’s Prophet Ancient Dragon wisdom gives her exceptional analytical ability and combat comprehension. 243 252

• After eleven losses to the Tree Sentinel, she reconstructed its attacks in her mind and identified exploitable patterns. 243
• She repeatedly changes equipment, incantations, spells, and tactics after failed attempts against powerful bosses. 272
• She recognized that the Ash of War: Gravity could potentially become the foundation of an entirely new gravity-based spell system. 252

Dragonfire and Dragon Lightning

Meng Bai employs Dragon Race elemental powers, particularly dragonfire and lightning. 317 264

• Her dragonfire can burn thousands of Treant roots to ash. 317
• Her Ancient Dragon Lightning can destroy roots restraining her and supports her mobile fighting style. 317
• She has a natural affinity for red dragon lightning and believes Vic’s Dragon Lightning could inspire several Fourth- or Fifth-Order Dragon Race skills. 264
• She used a Dragon Lightning Blade against Oma of Blood. 307

Force and Other Cultivation Systems

Meng Bai actively studies Miracle City’s foreign power systems rather than relying exclusively on Dragon Race abilities. 278 292

• She comprehended Advanced Force and Force Lightning through the Star Wars illusion. 278
• Advanced Force alone allows her to exert Third-Order strength even with her original cultivation sealed. 278
• She later comprehended the Body Flicker Technique, Water Clone Technique, Chakra Condensation Technique, Mist Technique, and Great Fireball Technique from the Ninja World illusion. 292

Destined Death

Meng Bai acquired the Death Rune from Black Blade Maliketh and can imbue its power into her own body and attacks. 307

• Destined Death bypasses defenses and all forms of immunity. 307
• She used it to harm Oma’s Blood Demon King form, which could otherwise negate physical and common elemental damage. 307
• Her available output was insufficient to immediately finish Oma despite bypassing his defenses. 307
