Background / History

Yu Xiaoheng was born as Yu Xiaogang's twin brother in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Before either brother awakened a Martial Soul, the clan regarded Xiaoheng as inferior because he devoted himself to commerce and unconventional physical training rather than conventional spirit cultivation. He independently handled follow-up matters for the clan's perfume and soap business. 2 15

Having memories of a past life and knowledge of the original story, Xiaoheng feared awakening the failed mutation Luo San Pao. He pursued body tempering, herbal stimulation, and whale rubber to improve his body before Spirit Awakening. 2

He financially supported Liu Erlong and cured her mother's illness before bringing Erlong into the clan. Although he treated her gently, he also considered her essential to his future plans because of their potential Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 3

Xiaoheng later consumed the conflicting Xi Guang Grass and Dragon Pattern Grass to increase his awakening prospects. The attempt severely injured his meridians and internal organs, causing Yu Yuanzhen and the elders to believe his cultivation path was finished. 6 The herbs instead transformed his body, and his eventual awakening revealed Innate Full Soul Power and a powerful, unstable dragon-like Martial Soul. 7 18 23

When the clan attempted to use Liu Erlong's fusion power despite the damage it inflicted on her life force, Xiaoheng chose to undergo the dangerous Thunder Pool body tempering early. His breakthrough to the fourth level evolved his Martial Soul and established him as the clan's new hope. 26 27 35

He became Lightning Academy's team captain and earned recognition through arena matches and the Four Elements Exchange Competition. His victories over Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy made him widely known across the continent. 53 80 85 118 130

Appearance

Yu Xiaoheng is a tall, slender youth with a face strongly resembling Yu Xiaogang's, though he is slightly taller and physically stronger from years of training. 15

• Well-proportioned, muscular physique shaped by body tempering. 15
• Clear eyebrows, straight nose, black eyes, and black hair. 47 66 143
• Usually presents himself in clean, refined clothing; he is noted wearing a spotless white robe during his confrontation with Tang San. 143
• Golden dragon scales can flicker across his skin when he circulates his power. 60
• Thunder Marks develop on his body as his lightning tempering advances. 93

Personality

Yu Xiaoheng is determined, calculating, and intensely ambitious. He repeatedly accepts painful or dangerous cultivation methods when they offer a path to greater strength, including incompatible herbs, early Thunder Pool tempering, and forced breakthroughs. 6 27 73

He values power and openly enjoys the admiration it earns him. After proving himself in battle, he finds the loyalty gained through personal strength more satisfying than authority derived solely from his status. 58 85 118

Despite his strategic and manipulative tendencies, Xiaoheng can be protective of people he considers his own. He risks conflict with the Clear Sky Sect to force an apology to Rou'er, rescues her from confinement out of guilt, and remains concerned for Liu Erlong when her fusion cultivation threatens her life. 26 47 102

His kindness is often entangled with self-interest. He brought Liu Erlong into the clan partly to secure a fusion partner, cultivated Rou'er's attachment while viewing her as a future source of power, and attempted to use Dugu Xin's illness to acquire the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. 3 85 102 138
