Background

Liu Erlong was born as the illegitimate daughter of Yu Luomian, vice clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Her mother was denied burial in the clan’s ancestral mausoleum, while Yu Luomian failed to defend either of them; this became the central grievance separating Liu Erlong from her paternal family. 154

Her martial soul was known as the Fire Dragon, a thunder-fire dual-attribute dragon martial soul. While traveling alone to hunt soul beasts after advancing in cultivation, she met Yu Xiaogang and Flender. Their compatible martial souls and mutual trust enabled the three to develop the continent’s only known three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill, earning them the name Golden Iron Triangle. 99

Liu Erlong entered a relationship with Yu Xiaogang, unaware that their closely related martial souls reflected their shared Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan bloodline. Yu Xiaogang had suspected her origins from the beginning but did not disclose them, instead allowing their relationship and the benefits of their fusion skill to continue. 216 Their eventual separation left Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang, and Flender estranged for roughly twenty years. 100 113

She founded Blue Tyrant Academy and served as its headmaster. When Shrek Academy relocated to Heaven Dou City, Blue Tyrant Academy was renamed Shrek Academy, with Liu Erlong remaining among its leading staff. 25 85 93

Appearance

Liu Erlong is a mature woman with a toned physique, long hair, and a forceful presence. Despite her age, she is noted for retaining smooth, delicate features and becomes increasingly conscious of preserving her youth through cultivation. 25 113 154

• Her former martial soul manifests as a crimson Fire Dragon surrounded by lightning and fire. 98
• After evolution, her martial soul becomes the winged Crimson Flame Dragon Phoenix. 119
• She is commonly addressed as “Headmaster Liu,” “Teacher Erlong,” or “Sister Erlong.” 25 98 113

Personality

Liu Erlong is direct, passionate, and fearless. She prefers meeting challenges head-on and is willing to fight even when she recognizes that an opponent may be stronger than herself. Her former reputation as the Golden Iron Triangle’s “Horn of Slaughter” stemmed from her violent, relentless treatment of soul beasts during the period following Yu Xiaogang’s departure. 73 98

Although impulsive in battle, Liu Erlong becomes increasingly perceptive and politically aware after Shrek’s move to Heaven Dou City. She considers the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s influence, the danger surrounding Tang San, and the possible implications of Dugu Yan’s abrupt growth in strength. 93

She values personal principles over clan status. When the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan attempts to exchange her mother’s reburial and her reinstatement for Lin Hai’s methods, Liu Erlong refuses and declares her break from the clan. 155 She later agrees to return only after deciding that taking the clan’s leadership could serve a larger purpose—and insists on making the elders “suffer a little” first. 161

Abilities & Skills

Fire Dragon / Crimson Flame Dragon Phoenix

Liu Erlong’s original Fire Dragon martial soul possesses both fire and lightning attributes and is suggested to be a True Dragon martial soul related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon lineage.

• The evolved martial soul substantially strengthens her fire attribute and innate Dragon Might. 119

• Its fire-and-lightning damage is ineffective against Lin Hai’s elemental resistance. 98

• Used during her hunt of the Earth Tyrant Bear, where its aftermath accidentally catches Lin Hai in the attack zone. 24 25

Golden Sacred Dragon

Together with Flender and Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong can perform the three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill Golden Sacred Dragon. 85 99

• The fusion arose from resonance between their martial souls and their former trust in one another. 99
• It was the defining ability behind the Golden Iron Triangle’s reputation. 99
• Yu Xiaogang later admits that the potential for this fusion influenced his decision to remain with both Liu Erlong and Flender. 216

Divine Artifact

• Artifact refinement — Her intimacy with Lin Hai visibly advances the Mercy Sword’s refinement progress. 192

Relationships

• Lin Hai — Romantic partner. Their relationship begins with an accidental encounter in Sunset Forest, develops after Lin Hai helps her confront her past, and becomes public when Liu Erlong introduces him as her partner to Yu Xiaogang and Flender. 25 99 113

Story Role / Major Arcs

Sunset Forest Encounter

Liu Erlong first encounters Lin Hai while hunting an Earth Tyrant Bear with a student. Her Rage Thunderclap accidentally strikes him after he emerges from underground, destroying his clothes but failing to seriously injure him. She apologizes and promises to compensate him with a new set of clothes, creating the “debt” Lin Hai later uses to tease her. 24 25

Shrek Academy and Renewed Contact

After Blue Tyrant Academy becomes Shrek Academy, Liu Erlong helps oversee its affairs and worries over Tang San’s safety amid Heaven Dou City’s political tensions. She also begins thinking frequently about Lin Hai despite having met him only once, rationalizing it as concern over repaying her debt. 85 93

Duel and Letting Go of the Past

Liu Erlong accepts Lin Hai’s challenge and fights him using her Fire Dragon martial soul and full close-combat style. Though she is exhausted after two hours, she shares the history of the Golden Iron Triangle with him.

Her martial soul evolves into the Crimson Flame Dragon Phoenix, increasing both her fire affinity and Dragon Might while bringing her Soul Power to the peak of level seventy-nine. 117 119

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Leadership

When her clan attempts to manipulate her with promises concerning her mother’s burial, Liu Erlong refuses to surrender Lin Hai’s methods and severs ties with them. After Lin Hai defeats Yu Yuanzhen and forces the clan into submission, she agrees to become clan leader on her own terms. 155 160 161
