Background / History

Linley is Hogg Baruch's eldest son and Wharton's older brother. At age six, he begins Wushan Town's group training under guard captain Hillman. Though exhausted by his first session, he accepts hardship as necessary to become strong. 1

After being injured while protecting Wharton during a Saint Realm battle, Linley's blood enters the Coiling Dragon Ring. This awakens Doehring Cowart, an earth-style Saint Realm magus whose soul is concealed within the ring. Doehring becomes Linley's magical mentor and directs him toward formal magical testing and academy training. 6 7

Linley grows close to Chen Feng after approaching him to exchange training experiences. He admires Chen Feng's rapid advancement, but their friendship remains intact when Chen Feng leaves Wushan Town to train. 3 7

When Linley returns home years later, he learns that Chen Feng saved Hogg from pursuit. Chen Feng also gives him a Spatial Ring containing valuable resources, including Saint Realm dragonblood. Linley uses the dragonblood together with Blue Heart Grass to help Hogg awaken the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline. 22 23 24

Clayde's death during the magical-beast assault on Fenlai City leaves Linley guilty that he did not personally avenge his mother, Lina. Chen Feng reveals that the Radiant Church was behind Lina's sacrifice and Clayde's sudden rise in power, restoring Linley's resolve to become strong enough for revenge. 28 29

Personality
