Biodata

Appearance

Du Lu is a curvaceous, beautiful woman who greets Qin Ming with an overtly friendly smile. 71

• Carries and fights with the Diamond Giant Shield Martial Soul. 79

Personality

Du Lu is pragmatic and protective of her students. She stops Feng Xiaotian from continuing a losing match against Yu Tianheng, refusing to let his injuries become more severe despite his objections. 75

She initially doubts Dugu Yang's practical combat ability, assuming that his extraordinary cultivation may come from focusing exclusively on training. After learning that he held off a Ten Thousand Year Sword-Tailed Tyrannosaurus alone, she reassesses him. 76 Her later reactions to his domains, endurance, and poison techniques show both amazement and envy at his abnormal talent. 80 82

Abilities & Skills

Diamond Giant Shield

• Uses the shield to protect Dugu Yang from a barrage of wind blades. 79
• Activates her first and third soul rings to create an outer yellow light shield around the Diamond Giant Shield. 80
• The outer light shield is destroyed by the dragon king's claws, but the physical shield withstands the strike. 80

Five-Ring Spirit King Cultivation

Du Lu is a five-ring Spirit King capable of leading students into the Star Dou Forest. 75

Relationships

• Huo Jun — Fellow instructor accompanying the joint Blazing Academy–Godwind Academy expedition. 71 73

Story Role / Major Arcs

Star Dou Forest Joint Expedition

Du Lu joins Huo Jun and their students in the Star Dou Forest to obtain suitable soul rings. Their group has searched for half a month without success and has one seriously injured student following a soul beast ambush. 71

When Yu Tianheng and Feng Xiaotian prepare to fight, she joins Qin Ming and Huo Jun in stopping them. After Dugu Yang explains the dispute, she agrees that a supervised match is preferable to forcing the two students to stand down. 73 74

Two-Legged Wind-Wing Dragon King Battle

Du Lu assists Qin Ming against the 50,000-year Two-Legged Wind-Wing Dragon King, then protects Dugu Yang when he enters the fight. 78 79 She recognizes that Dugu Yang's Weakening Domain reduces the beast's attributes by half and coordinates with him despite doubting that a Soul Ancestor and Spirit King could kill such an opponent. 80

After Dugu Yang poisons and weakens the dragon king, Du Lu contributes defensive support until the beast is slain. Though physically exhausted, she acknowledges that Dugu Yang provided the battle's primary damage output. 81 82

Dragon Wing External Soul Bone

A pair of External Soul Bone wings is found inside the dragon king's corpse. Du Lu is initially reluctant to surrender such a rare treasure, but accepts that Dugu Yang deserves it as the battle's main contributor. 82 83

After Qin Ming reveals Dugu Yang's connection to Dugu Bo and offers to arrange an introduction to the Poison Douluo, Du Lu agrees to give the External Soul Bone to Dugu Yang. 83
