Background / History
Su Lu serves as the Chief of the Asian Magic Association and is one of the most influential Mages in Asia. His public reputation rises after he leads powerful Mages against major demonic threats, but his private ambition extends far beyond protecting humanity. He seeks to rule the human world as an emperor and views control over powerful Demons as the foundation of that rule 546 725 785.
At the Tyrant Mountain Range, Su Lu attempts to subjugate the True Black Dragon Emperor. He uses a years-old Forbidden Spell ritual to seal the dragon’s Dragon Breath, injure it, and prepare a Contract. When Norman and later Tang Miao disrupt the ritual, Su Lu becomes enraged. He ultimately casts a Forbidden Spell to escape, destroying half of the mountain range and killing numerous high-ranking Magic Association officials 546 547 549 550.
After the Black Dragon incident, Su Lu seeks revenge against Tang Miao. He accepts Zu Xiangtian’s proposal to challenge Tang Miao publicly, hoping to damage Tang Miao’s reputation and annex Moon Snow New City. Su Lu is willing to wait for a politically advantageous moment rather than attack immediately 563 564 565.
Su Lu later sends forces to Japan in pursuit of an ancient Totem Beast. His expedition repeatedly sacrifices groups of Mages to clear paths through Demon hordes, while he preserves his own strength and authority 632 636. During the battle against the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, he commands a coalition of Forbidden Spell Mages and secretly constructs a Lightning Array to contract the injured Emperor. Tang Miao secretly completes the Contract first, leaving Su Lu with only the appearance of victory 725 726 728 729.
In Dubai, Su Lu attempts to obtain Feng Zhoulong’s Fusion Magic research. When Feng Zhoulong refuses to surrender the method, Su Lu orders assassins to kill him and his students while framing the attack as the work of the Black Vatican. Shaja intervenes to protect Feng Zhoulong, and Tang Miao confronts Su Lu directly 783 784 785.
The conflict culminates when Su Lu gains dark power through a deal with the Dark King. He severs his Contract with the dying Zhu Yan, abandoning the Sacred Totem to preserve himself, then battles Tang Miao with Forbidden Lightning, Space Magic, a Dark Domain, and summoned Black Dragons. Tang Miao ultimately destroys Su Lu’s Dark Domain with his Triple Domain and defeats him 791 792 793 794.
After Su Lu’s defeat, the Dark King demands his soul and Dark Power. Tang Miao captures the energy left behind by Su Lu, turning the former Chief’s lifelong cultivation into a source of power for himself 796 797. Su Lu’s death leaves the Asian Magic Association weakened and triggers a wider struggle for influence 831 844.
Personality
Su Lu is intensely ambitious and believes humanity should dominate the ancient beings and Demons that once ruled the world. His speech about making a True Dragon serve humanity reflects both his human-centered ideology and his desire to place himself above every other power 546.
He is calculating and politically cautious when circumstances demand it. Rather than immediately attacking Tang Miao, he considers public opinion, the condition of the Asian Magic Association, and the consequences of acting openly 564 565. He also uses subordinates and alliances to pursue goals while keeping his own position protected 634 728.
His ambition is matched by extreme ruthlessness. He treats subordinate Mages as expendable during dangerous operations, orders the execution of academy students to obtain Fusion Magic, and severs his Contract with Zhu Yan when the Totem becomes a liability 547 636 784 785 792.
Su Lu maintains a heroic public image after leading humanity against powerful Demons, but his actions reveal a willingness to sacrifice others and manipulate crises for personal power. He ultimately sees leadership as a path to domination rather than service 725 783 785.
