Background / History
At eighteen, Lü Qinglong chose to enlist rather than attend college. Before making the decision, he visited his deceased brother’s grave to seek his approval; afterward, he persuaded his mother to support his enlistment. Commander Li’s initial refusal changed immediately upon learning that Qinglong was the son of Lü Weiguo 2.
He intended to begin as an ordinary enlisted soldier rather than enter the National University of Defense Technology first, following the military path of his father and brother 4. His brother, Lü Qingtian, had previously served under Chen Ting during new-recruit training and later died after carrying the seriously wounded Zhang Tianqiang back to friendly lines 38 213.
Qinglong entered Chen Ting’s First Squad, where his unusual size required two bed frames to be combined for him 12. Chen Ting recognized his extraordinary potential and committed to teaching him everything he knew before retirement 42.
After progressing into the Special Operations Brigade, Qinglong became a frontline asset known for his physical power, close-combat skill, and capacity to operate customized heavy equipment. His actions at Pangong Lake—where he reportedly defeated more than one hundred enemies—earned him the “War God” nickname among Base No. 3 personnel 149 154.
Following study at the Army Special Operations Academy, he and his fellow trainees were assigned to a new company. Qinglong took command of Platoon One and helped train its veterans for future missions with the Special Operations Brigade 273 300 302.
Appearance
Lü Qinglong is an exceptionally large, heavily muscled soldier whose height and build routinely shock soldiers and civilians alike. His physique has been compared to the Hulk and Thanos 104 120.
- Stands approximately 2.5 meters tall 351.
- Requires unusually large accommodations, including two combined bed frames 12.
- Can stand upright only in rooms with sufficiently high ceilings; a three-meter ceiling narrowly accommodates him 131.
- Has a booming voice that can make nearby listeners’ ears buzz 131.
- Is frequently described by others as monstrous, intimidating, or unforgettable 18 273.
Personality
Qinglong is determined, disciplined, and direct. He enlisted out of commitment to his family’s military legacy and maintains a rigorous routine, including two hours of strength training every night 2 265.
Despite his intimidating presence, he is generally respectful toward superiors and protective of comrades. He eagerly accepts dangerous duties, values Chen Ting’s guidance, and uses his strength to benefit his unit—such as winning early phone access for First Squad by pulling a 3.8-ton armored vehicle 63 153.
He is also humble about feats others consider impossible. After throwing a training grenade more than one hundred meters with less than thirty percent of his strength, he simply insisted that he had been holding back 104. His concern for fairness can make him confrontational, as when he demanded better food from the Cookhouse Squad 279.
