Background / History

Liu Erlong found Lu Ming as an infant after his parents died during a Soul Hunting operation. She adopted him, made him her only personal disciple, and supported his cultivation with rare resources despite his initially ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. 1

Before learning the truth about Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong spent twenty years waiting for him and shaped Blue Tyrant Academy around that attachment, including filling it with plants he liked. She is a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. 101 102

She initially regarded Yu Xiaogang as a foremost Martial Soul theorist and suggested that Lu Ming seek his help with Blue Silver Grass's bottleneck. Her confidence in Yu Xiaogang began to collapse after the chat group exposed Tang Hao and raised doubts about Yu Xiaogang's character. 1 14

After confirming her identity as “Gentle Fire Dragon” in the chat group, Liu Erlong openly confronted Yu Xiaogang. She denounced his cowardice and alleged plagiarism, rejected his attempt to reconcile, and expelled him from her life and academy. 101 102 103

Appearance

Liu Erlong is a tall, mature woman with a valiant bearing that contrasts with her warmer demeanor around Lu Ming. 1 251

• Long fiery-red hair, often worn loose over her shoulders. 1
• Heroic eyebrows and a forceful presence. 1 23
• Typically wears fitted red dresses, combat clothing, or leather attire. 1 20 23
• Athletic, powerful build with notably strong legs. 23

Personality

Liu Erlong is fiercely protective of Blue Tyrant Academy and its students. When Ma Hongjun attempted to force himself on one of her students, she personally confronted and repeatedly punished him, refusing Flender's appeals for leniency. 21 23

Despite her fiery temperament, she is deeply caring toward Lu Ming. She personally oversees his cultivation, spends academy resources on him without hesitation, and celebrates his breakthroughs with overwhelming pride. 1 14 15

Her past attachment to Yu Xiaogang left her vulnerable to idealizing him, but exposure to the chat group's revelations makes her reassess her life. Afterward, she becomes more assertive, rejects Yu Xiaogang outright, and embraces the opportunity to pursue a new path. 101 102 103
