Background / History

Shen Long was one of Dragon Nation's original two Heaven-Tier Skill holders and founded the Shen Sect, which at one point nearly rivaled the official factions in influence. He occupied resources across several Novice Villages and was regarded as one of the server's foremost players, though he remained behind Jian Qingfeng in the rankings. 51 241 349

His rivalry with Jian Qingfeng drove his pursuit of Level 100. Shen Long exhausted Shen Sect resources, went without rest for a week, and compelled his guild members to support his quest chain, yet Jian Qingfeng still reached Level 100 first. 191 194 Shen Long later completed the requirement himself by creating the Hook Master Profession. 292

Appearance

Shen Long is a lean man around fifty years old who dresses in a plain white Zen robe. Despite his slight-looking frame, he carries a palpable sense of restrained power. 243

• Hawk-like eyes that scan others sharply. 243
• Usually accompanied by Shen Sect subordinates or trusted confidants.
• Wields a dark metal hooked chain ending in a sharpened iron hook claw. 633

Personality

Shen Long is intensely status-conscious and ambitious. He measures himself against Jian Qingfeng, resents being surpassed, and reacts bitterly whenever Jiu Chen's achievements weaken the Shen Sect or elevate the official factions. 194 349 412

He is volatile toward subordinates, frequently blaming them for his own failures and responding to bad news with intimidation or violence. After Shen Beijun's death, he ordered the execution of the men who accompanied his son when he doubted their account. 194 237 380

Despite his public image as a powerful sect master, Shen Long is pragmatic about survival. He prefers ambushes, firearms, manipulation, and proxy attacks over direct confrontations with Jiu Chen; when faced with immediate danger, he has fled, abandoned allies, and used Cannon as bait against a Silver Wolf. 251 252 594 632 637

Abilities & Skills

Heaven-Tier Hooked-Chain Skill

Shen Long's Heaven-Tier Skill enhances his signature hooked chain with golden light, allowing him to launch and manipulate it at range. 51 633

• Fires the chain to anchor onto terrain or targets. 633
• Pulls Shen Long rapidly to the hook's location, functioning as a movement technique. 633 634
• Supports ranged surprise attacks, close combat, restraint, and mobility. 634
• Has a cooldown and limited displacement range, preventing him from repeatedly escaping powerful pursuers. 635

Hook Master Profession

Shen Long created the Hook Master Profession, a profession suited to the Shen Family's chain-hook Skill Chain and weapon style. 292

• Its creation fulfilled the final requirement for Shen Long's Level 100 advancement. 292
• Shen Long opened the Profession to players at King Base to strengthen recruitment. 292
• He did not immediately transfer into it himself, apparently considering an unranked Profession beneath his standards. 292

Class Creation

Shen Long later created a T1 Rank class, becoming the second player after Xiao Fan to do so. 411

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Hooked Chain — Shen Long's signature dark metal chain and iron hook claw; used with his Heaven-Tier Skill for attacks and rapid movement. 633 634
• Gem Rocket Launcher — A rocket launcher enhanced with a White Nation gemstone; used during Shen Long's attempted ambush of Xiao Fan and Ye Bugu. 251 252
• Firearm stockpile — Shen Long kept firearms in the City of Kings and ordered them aimed at Xiao Fan's cage to prevent an aerial escape. 381 389
• Blue Gemstones — Imported from the White Nation server; socketing them into weapons increases intelligence-based damage. Shen Long's shipment was later stolen from his private vault. 378
• Angry Birds — A restricted-use item that could only be activated once per day. 635

Relationships

• Jiu Chen / Xiao Fan — Primary enemy. Shen Long first considered recruiting him for Shen Sect, then repeatedly attempted to capture or kill him after his rise threatened Shen Long's power. 194 247 248
• Jian Qingfeng — Longstanding rival and the player Shen Long most resented being surpassed by; Jian Qingfeng reached Level 100 before him. 191 194
• Shen Lei — Trusted subordinate and right-hand man who gathers intelligence and advises Shen Long. 194
• Shen Tao — Shen Long's stepson. Shen Long investigated his unexplained death but eventually accepted the possibility of a monster attack. 237
• Shen Beijun — Shen Long's biological son. He was accidentally killed by Xiao Fan's Thunder Dragon in the City of Kings, prompting Shen Long's city-wide manhunt. 380 381
• Quan Zhong — Jun Family representative and collaborator. Their cooperation included city-upgrade methods, Profession creation information, and attempts to eliminate Xiao Fan. 382 389 392
• Cannon — White Nation powerhouse and uneasy ally united by revenge against Xiao Fan. Shen Long attempted to use Cannon as the main instrument of that revenge, then sacrificed him as bait when attacked by a Silver Wolf. 594 628 632
• Falling Leaf — City of Kings' lead commander and former close partner. Their relationship deteriorated after Shen Long refused to enter the Secret Realm to rescue trapped City of Kings players. 431 575
• Zhou He — Rival leader of the official faction. Zhou He's construction of Dragon City deprived Shen Long of the prestige of building the first safe base. 249 292

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Level 100 rivalry — Shen Long concentrates the Shen Sect's resources on surpassing Jian Qingfeng, but loses the race to become Dragon Nation's first Level 100 Player. He later reaches Level 100 through Hook Master. 191 194 292
• Recruitment and pursuit of Jiu Chen — After learning that Jiu Chen helped Jian Qingfeng create a Profession, Shen Long initially seeks to recruit him. Once Jiu Chen refuses, Shen Long moves to investigation, pursuit, and attempted elimination. 194 247 248
• King Base and the Four Great Families — Shen Long establishes the Level 3 King Base, then uses it as the headquarters for an alliance of the Four Great Families. 253 292
• City of Sin strategy — As King Base struggles to attract ordinary players, Shen Long accepts the proposal to cultivate it as a haven for wanted criminals and players unwilling to live under official restrictions. 349 353
• City of Kings conflict — King Base upgrades into the Level 5 City of Kings. Shen Long opens ranked professions, acquires White Nation gemstones, and later declares a city-wide bounty after Jiu Chen kills Shen Beijun. 376 378 380 387
• Failed execution of Jiu Chen — Shen Long and Quan Zhong surround Jiu Chen with rocket launchers and prevent players from logging out, but Zijin's Feather Descent Heavenly Thunder devastates the City of Kings. Shen Long survives and returns to the real world. 389 392 398
• Secret Realm betrayal — Shen Long plots to trap Xiao Fan and Jian Qingfeng in the Land of Four Extremes rather than rescue his own trapped City of Kings players, costing him Falling Leaf's trust. 423 431 575
• Alliance with Cannon — Shen Long allies with Cannon to target Xiao Fan during a joint rescue mission, intending to use a potion that drives monsters into a frenzy against him. 594
• Monster Region collapse — While hiding from a Silver Wolf, Shen Long throws Cannon toward the beast to save himself. He later abandons the White Nation team during his escape, survives a severe wolf attack only because the beast is recalled, and withdraws from the Monster Region. 632 633 636 637

Trivia

• Shen Long was once second only to Jian Qingfeng on both the Level and Equipment Leaderboards, and ranked fourth on the Skill Leaderboard when Xiao Fan reached Level 50. 241

• Shen Long's hatred of Jiu Chen eventually eclipses even his rivalry with Jian Qingfeng. 381
