Background / History
Wu Zhangkong studied at Shrek Academy under Red Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi and was once pre-selected for its Inner Court. When Shrek discovered that Long Bing had been spying for the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhangkong defended her. Shrek expelled Long Bing, and Zhangkong left with her. Her father, Dark Hummingbird, then attacked them; Zhangkong's Two-Word Battle Armor could not stop his Bee Tail Sting. Xie An intervened and took Long Bing away. Believing he had failed to protect her, Zhangkong became trapped at level 69 34 35.
Years later, Xie An brought Long Bing to Zhangkong's office at Eastsea Academy. Their reunion lifted his emotional block and prompted his breakthrough to Soul Saint. In return, Zhangkong agreed to train a team capable of defeating Shrek Academy at the Eastsea tournament 35. He and Long Bing took charge of Eastsea Academy's Class Zero, with Zhangkong handling combat training and Long Bing teaching theory 40.

Personality
Zhangkong is blunt about his students' weaknesses, telling Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie that they are the least advanced members of Class Zero so they will take their training seriously 41. He also holds himself to his own standards: after a spar with Long Yue, he conceded because he had used power above their agreed three-ring limit 46.
His reserved manner conceals deep affection for Long Bing. Before their reunion, he blamed himself for her apparent death; afterward, he shows concern for her safety and remains openly affectionate toward her 34 35 40 58.
