Background / History

At six years old, Long Chen awakens the Dark Night Demonic Lute, a rare evil-attributed tool martial soul, alongside innate full soul power. He is raised within the Ye family alongside his adopted sister, Ye Lingling, whose future is shadowed by the Nine Heart Begonia’s curse. Long Chen is already aware of her looming tragedy and resolves to protect her. 1

Ye Tianming keeps Long Chen from immediately attending Heaven Dou Royal Academy after learning of his unusual first soul skill, fearing that its nature will expose him to danger and ostracization. Long Chen accepts this decision and cultivates under the Ye family’s protection. 5

After joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Long Chen becomes part of the Royal Fighting Team’s circle. His defensive Xuanwu skill withstands Yu Tianheng’s strongest attacks during a spar, earning the latter’s respect. 18 22 23

Long Chen later trains under Dugu Bo at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Their collaboration begins with Long Chen’s effort to develop a detoxification treatment for Dugu Yan and grows into a close bond built on cultivation, alchemy, and mutual aid. 23 26 31

During the Soul Master Competition, Long Chen fights beside Ye Lingling against Spirit Hall Academy. He counters Xie Yue and Hu Liena’s martial soul fusion skill through a combination of Xuanwu, Nine-Tailed Fox, and Taotie, then uses Kui Ox to extinguish Yan’s Hellfire. 100 101

Following later conflicts with soul masters and the Star Luo Empire, Long Chen’s Devour Ability becomes widely known. The Star Luo Emperor brands him the “Evil Fallen One,” while Bibi Dong regards him as a threat to be eliminated. Long Chen remains indifferent to the label. 124 128 129

Long Chen and Dugu Bo ultimately confront the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after Yu Luomian demands his immortal herbs and soul bone. The conflict culminates in the clan’s defeat, Yu Tianheng’s death by suicide rather than being devoured by Taotie, and Long Chen’s advancement to level 90. 131 200 201 204

Personality

Long Chen is calm under pressure and consistently confident in his own strength. He does not yield when threatened by powerful factions, including the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Hall of Martial Souls. 29 96 131

His strongest personal priority is protecting Ye Lingling. This shapes his decision to avoid being recruited by Yue Guan, his intention to prevent Tang San from threatening her, and his battlefield cooperation with her. 5 31 96 100

Despite his power, Long Chen can be restrained and pragmatic. He accepts Ye Tianming’s caution about concealing his abilities, fights academy students without seriously injuring them, and shows humility toward Feng Xiaotian after their match. 5 18 88
