Appearance

Long Yaochen is portrayed as exceptionally handsome, with black hair, flawless features, and a faint, ethereal aura of divinity that makes him stand out even among Shrek’s gifted students. His presence is repeatedly described as dazzling and transcendent. 14 21

• Wears Shrek’s white freshman uniform during his Outer Court studies. 14
• His divine aura can silence a room and draw immediate attention. 14
• Grew taller and developed a more tempered, deeper aura after his later transformations. 51
• His appearance further improved following the integration of his second Martial Soul. 65
• After awakening the Crimson Moon, his appearance took on a colder, more dangerous, and faintly androgynous beauty, accompanied by an enchanting aura distinct from his previous sacred bearing. 65
• During Eternal Blazing Sun Holy Dragon possession, blazing-gold scales emerge around his face, his eyes become golden, and a dragon-patterned halo forms behind his head. 81
• During Crimson Moon possession, his black hair lengthens, his skin pales, crimson vertical dragon pupils appear, and black scales form along his cheeks and body. 65 135
• Following his later cultivation and Soul Spirit integration, his previous sense of distance and detachment became noticeably less pronounced to Ma Xiaotao. 191
• More than a year after the Continental Tournament, he had grown taller and more physically imposing while retaining his transcendent temperament. 207

Personality

Long Yaochen is confident to the point of flamboyance, regularly teasing others and openly acknowledging his own charm. He is dismissive of people and organizations he considers beneath his standards, as shown by his rejection of Tang Ya’s Tang Sect invitation. 21 26

Despite this arrogance, he is protective and responsible toward those around him. He stood before Zhou Yi’s Soul Emperor pressure to shield his classmates, helped regulate Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire, and assisted the injured Zhang Lexuan with Freshman Class One’s daily affairs. 18 26 42

He is also exceptionally resolute when pursuing power. He gambled his life on absorbing Electrolux’s remnant soul and later entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well despite warnings that doing so meant certain death. 6 56

Long Yaochen is politically shrewd and highly capable of exploiting an opponent’s mistakes. During the Zhou Yi incident, he deliberately presented himself as gravely injured and used the Sea God Pavilion hearing to secure the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife as compensation. 16 17

Although he often treats danger with irreverence, he is deeply troubled by the prospect of losing those close to him. His concern over Tang San, Wang Dong’er’s condition, and the uncertain future ultimately strengthens his resolve to confront threats rather than avoid them. 71 148

Following Mu En’s death, Long Yaochen became more conscious of the limits of his current authority and strength. He began actively building trustworthy support within Shrek, including attempting to recruit Bei Bei through the effort to save Tang Ya. 188

He is cautious about unknown divine and spiritual interference. Although he sought the Emperor Auspicious Beast as a potential Soul Spirit, he refused to resonate his destiny with her because of the danger that she might access his past-life memories or hidden contingencies connected to Tang San. 172 185

Abilities & Skills

Eternal Blazing Sun Holy Dragon

Long Yaochen’s primary Martial Soul is the God-tier Eternal Blazing Sun Holy Dragon. Its completion fused Ultimate Fire with Ultimate Ice, placing immense strain on his cultivation but granting extraordinary combat potential. 49 59

• Activates at full power in the presence of ancient light-related forces. 5
• Possesses three Ultimate attributes when used in Martial Soul Possession. 82

• Its completion was aided by tempering within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. 57 59
• His dragon Martial Soul can unleash large-scale, arena-dominating attacks. 101
• Its pressure is powerful enough to suppress and destabilize the Martial Souls of numerous Inner Court elites despite Long Yaochen’s substantially lower cultivation. 81

• By the Sun Moon exchange period, he could manifest the Martial Soul with five soul rings as a Soul King. 208

• Forms a pillar of holy light around its target and rapidly heals injuries, including the wound Long Yaochen received from Wang Dong’s Butterfly Wing Guillotine. 33
• Can dramatically enhance the attributes of those within its effect, including Long Yaochen himself. 110
• He combined it with Sacred Armor of Radiant Sun and Spear of No Darkness to overwhelm Dai Yueheng despite the difference in their Soul Power. 82 83

A defensive ability that protects Long Yaochen from spiritual attacks. 34

Crimson Moon

Long Yaochen’s second Martial Soul is the Crimson Moon, associated with an Eternal Night Crimson Dragon that manifests as a black dragon coiled around the lunar disk. It initially bore a unique crimson-gold soul ring and is connected to the Crimson Moon Spirit Realm, a demiplane. 65 66 130

• Enhances nearby plants and immortal herbs. 66
• Served as the destination for all immortal herbs relocated from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. 68
• Its integration stabilized and harmonized Long Yaochen’s divine power. 64
• Its soul rings later developed into a two-ring configuration that defied ordinary human understanding. 135
• The Crimson Moon Spirit Realm is a dark, moonlit demiplane containing remnants resembling undead knights, skeletal beasts, and extinguished soul flames; initially, only Long Yaochen could enter it. 67

• Long Yaochen comprehended its essential principle during his battle against the Golden Earth Dragon: where his heart points, his strength follows. 181
• Its first successful use took the form of a blazing-gold punch that defeated the Golden Earth Dragon in a direct clash. 182
• The technique is not an ordinary soul skill, instead requiring the complete unification of his spirit, will, and fighting style. 171

Dawn Sacred Halo

Long Yaochen’s fifth soul skill is a wide-area golden halo generated through the Eternal Blazing Sun Holy Dragon. It continuously consumes Soul Power while active. 186 187

• Expands in rings to cover a vast area around Long Yaochen. 187

• Suppresses evil power and weakens darkness-aligned Soul Power. 187
• Continuously amplifies the attributes of everyone within the halo, with Long Yaochen receiving twice the amplification of other targets. 187
• Its amplification has no stated upper limit, making it potentially extraordinary in prolonged combat. 187

Mark of Sun Chasing

A light-attribute ability used to influence others. 11

• Used to subdue Wang Dong, making her docile and obedient. 11
• Demonstrates his ability to exert control through his unique light attribute. 11
• Its evolved power could interfere with Yu Mengdi’s sacred attribute and attempt to impose a dragon-patterned mark within her eyes, although it could not completely control an opponent whose Soul Power greatly exceeded his own. 109

Golden Earth Dragon Soul Spirit

The Golden Earth Dragon is Long Yaochen’s first confirmed Soul Spirit. Formerly a crippled Mad Dragon with a cultivation of approximately seventy-three thousand years, it abandoned its physical body and preserved its soul and origin within Long Yaochen. 179 182

• Was obtained after Long Yaochen defeated it through Ruler Over All Under Heaven and offered it a continued life as a Soul Spirit. 182
• Can emerge from Long Yaochen’s body and fight independently while remaining subject to his commands. 208 209
• Possesses exceptional physical strength, durability, speed, and draconic pressure; it ignored Xiao Hongchen’s sustained soul-tool artillery and defeated him with a claw strike and tail sweep. 209
• Retains a fierce, prideful personality and enthusiastically accepted the opportunity to fight Xiao Hongchen, though it reluctantly obeyed Long Yaochen’s command to stop. 208 209
• Long Yaochen intends to upgrade it after reaching level 60, potentially allowing it to develop into a hundred-thousand-year Soul Spirit and provide him with a second hundred-thousand-year soul ring. 209

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Holy Blade of Life — Formerly the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife; purified by Electrolux into Life Gold carrying sacred divinity. It is cold, golden, translucent, and no longer emits its original wicked aura. 24 26
• Light Demon-Breaking Right Arm Bone — A light-attributed reward given to Long Yaochen after the Freshman Grand Competition. Electrolux advised him not to absorb it while his attributes remained imbalanced; Long Yaochen later gave it to Wang Dong’er, who successfully fused with it. 35 36 100
• Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Torso Bone — Fused into his body during the completion of his primary Martial Soul, allowing him to absorb Ultimate Ice. 57 59
• Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone — A powerful soul bone Long Yaochen fused in Star Luo City, shocking the Star Luo Empire and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy representatives. 121
• Sealing God Platform — A strategic item taken by Long Yaochen during the tournament period; its possession became a major point of dispute between Shrek, Star Luo, and the Sun Moon Empire. 121
• Blazing Glue — Consumed during his ice-and-fire tempering in the Yin-Yang Well. 56 57
• Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal — Consumed alongside Blazing Glue to withstand simultaneous extreme cold and heat. 56 57
• Golden Tree Leaf — A leaf nurtured by Mu En and entrusted to Long Yaochen as an emergency safeguard. If Long Yaochen encounters danger, Mu En may be able to assist through it, subject to distance from the Golden Tree. 207
• Ruler Over All Under Heaven — Mu En’s annotated booklet, entrusted to Long Yaochen through Zhang Lexuan after the tournament. It provided the foundation for his later comprehension of the technique of the same name. 171

Relationships

• Long Xiaoyao — Teacher, guardian, and adoptive father figure. Long Xiaoyao saved Long Yaochen after his arrival on the Douluo Continent, raised him for six years, left him at Shrek as an exchange student, later escorted him to the Far North and Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and guarded him during his transformation. He later agreed to help Long Yaochen seek the Emperor Auspicious Beast and protected him during the Golden Earth Dragon’s Soul Spirit integration. 1 4 43 51 64 172 182
• Ma Xiaotao — Fiancée. Their relationship began under a marriage arrangement and developed through mutual protection, teasing, and Long Yaochen’s repeated suppression of her Evil Fire. Her transformation into an Ultimate Fire Phoenix provided the Ultimate Fire needed to complete Long Yaochen’s primary Martial Soul, and she later reaffirmed that she would stand beside him against future threats. Long Yaochen subsequently prepared a Soul Spirit for her seventh ring, enabling her to obtain a one-hundred-thousand-year ring and the Flame Lion Queen as a Soul Spirit. 4 19 42 49 58 148 191 198
• Zhang Lexuan — Homeroom teacher and teaching partner. Long Yaochen served as her assistant while she recovered from injury; their initial friction grew into mutual trust, affection, and an openly intimate bond. Zhang Lexuan repeatedly helps him confront his doubts and supports his actions even when they may place her in danger. After the tournament, she joined him in Sea God Pavilion and delivered Mu En’s notes on Ruler Over All Under Heaven. 18 26 50 71 153 171
• Wang Dong / Wang Dong’er — Former roommate and frequent sparring partner. Long Yaochen initially subdued Wang Dong with the Mark of Sun Chasing; their relationship later developed through rivalry, teasing, jealousy, and serious conversations concerning her condition and identity. After returning to Shrek as Wang Dong’er, she learned that her lost memories were real and that Tang San is her father, though Long Yaochen withheld the full truth to let her make her own decision. She later chose to live normally rather than remain consumed by her missing memories, while becoming openly possessive when Meng Hongchen showed interest in Long Yaochen. 11 19 36 78 80 147 148 207
• Electrolux — Remnant soul within Long Yaochen’s spiritual world. Electrolux helped stabilize his Martial Soul, cleanse the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, resist the erosion of divinity during the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well ritual, and unlock the Tower of Heaven’s suppression during his divine evolution. He later helped shield Long Yaochen’s past-life memories from the Emperor Auspicious Beast’s spiritual probing. 6 24 57 58 60 185
• Mu En — Shrek’s highest authority and a key patron. Mu En arranged Long Yaochen’s exchange-student stay, judged the Zhou Yi incident, approved his placement on Shrek’s main tournament team, assisted his confrontation with the Clear Sky Sect, and allowed him to cultivate in Sea God Pavilion. Before his death, he arranged for Zhang Lexuan to give Long Yaochen his notes on Ruler Over All Under Heaven; Long Yaochen later encountered Mu En within the Golden Tree and received a Golden Tree Leaf for protection. 4 16 71 73 79 171 188 207
• Huo Yuhao — Freshman rival and later Sun Moon Academy opponent. Long Yaochen fought Huo Yuhao’s team alone during the Freshman Grand Competition and overwhelmed them; Huo Yuhao subsequently became obsessed with surpassing him. During the Continental Tournament, Long Yaochen exposed Huo Yuhao’s disguise, confronted his resentment, and forced Old Tang to intervene to save him from the Emperor Palm. 32 34 49 105 139 140
• Dai Huabin — Repeated challenger whom Long Yaochen defeated so thoroughly that Dai Huabin eventually stopped seeking matches. 49
• Dai Yueheng — Tournament-team rival. Long Yaochen defeated him in a single strike to secure his main-roster position; Dai Yueheng later accepted the defeat and served as a reserve while Long Yaochen joined the main roster. 81 82 83
• Xuan Zi — Hostile Inner Court elder who challenged Long Yaochen, then had to honor the condition attached to his defeat by accepting Long Yaochen as a main-roster member. He later served as Ma Xiaotao’s sparring partner after her seventh-ring breakthrough and remained an important senior within Long Yaochen’s Shrek circle. 79 82 198
• Ice Empress — Ultimate Ice soul beast with whom Long Yaochen negotiated a prospective god-creation plan. She later aided his fusion with the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Torso Bone and remains connected to his Sea of Spirit. 45 59 64
• Snow Empress — An ice-aligned ally who fought at Long Yaochen’s side against Sun Moon Academy, froze Meng Hongchen, and assisted in the battle against Huo Yuhao. She later became associated with his seven-hundred-thousand-year soul ring and guided his refinement of the Emperor Palm. 129 130 132 139 140
• Tang San / Old Tang — A hostile god-level figure connected to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’er. Long Yaochen recognizes Old Tang’s interference with Huo Yuhao and is openly at odds with Tang San due to Wang Dong’er’s manipulated memories and the threat Tang San represents. 21 139 148
• Golden Tree — A life-form with which Long Yaochen formed a spiritual connection beneath Sea God Pavilion. He sensed its suffering from Ah Yin’s parasitic presence and resolved to remove her. Mu En later entrusted Long Yaochen with a Golden Tree Leaf connected to the tree’s protective power. 153 207
• Golden Earth Dragon — Long Yaochen’s first Soul Spirit. After defeating the crippled Mad Dragon in a direct battle of wills, Long Yaochen offered it a future as a Soul Spirit and integrated it into his Sea of Spirit. The dragon is fiercely combative but recognizes Long Yaochen’s authority. 179 182 209
• Emperor Auspicious Beast — A Three-Eyed Golden Lion who became interested in Long Yaochen and wanted to become his Soul Spirit. Long Yaochen sought her as a possible soul ring but rejected destiny resonance because of the danger posed to his memories. Her familiarity with him immediately provoked Ma Xiaotao’s jealousy. 172 185 194
• Di Tian — Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest. Di Tian opposed Long Yaochen’s pursuit of the Emperor Auspicious Beast, monitored his dealings with the Soul Beasts, and later showed restrained approval of the Soul Spirit method after observing the Flame Lion Queen’s evolution. 172 185 194 198
• Bei Bei — Tang Ya’s lover and a potential ally whom Long Yaochen tested after Tang Ya became an Evil Soul Master. Long Yaochen agreed to seek Tang Ya’s treatment and instructed Bei Bei to write to her, intending to turn her into a spy within the Holy Spirit Cult while assessing Bei Bei’s loyalty. 188
• Tang Ya — Former Tang Sect master whose invitation Long Yaochen rejected. After she was abducted by the Holy Spirit Cult and became an Evil Soul Master, Long Yaochen identified a possible means of treating her and intended to recruit her as an informant within the cult. 21 188
• Xiao Hongchen — Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy rival who challenged Long Yaochen to avenge the loss of the Sealing God Platform. Long Yaochen used the Golden Earth Dragon Soul Spirit to completely overwhelm and humiliate him in their one-on-one battle. 208 209
• Meng Hongchen — Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy student who openly admires Long Yaochen. Her praise and attention provoked Wang Dong’er’s possessive response during the exchange-student welcoming ceremony. 101 207

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Exchange Student

Mu En proposed that Long Yaochen remain at Shrek to address his Martial Soul instability and spar with elite peers. Long Xiaoyao agreed, granting Long Yaochen greater independence and bringing him closer to Ma Xiaotao. 4

Tower of Heaven Stabilization

Seeking an opportunity in the Star Dou Great Forest, Long Yaochen encountered an ancient presence that recognized him as a Child of Light. He later absorbed Electrolux’s remnant soul, using death aura to balance the Tower of Heaven and stabilize his Martial Soul. 5 6

Freshman Class One

Long Yaochen defended his classmates against Zhou Yi, suffering injury while resisting her pressure and forcing the dispute before the Sea God Pavilion. After Zhou Yi’s expulsion, he became Zhang Lexuan’s teaching assistant and later Freshman Class One’s class monitor. 16 18 39

Freshman Grand Competition

He faced Huo Yuhao’s team alone and defeated Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao with overwhelming force. His defenses also neutralized Huo Yuhao’s strongest spiritual attack, establishing a major power gap between them. 32 34

Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well

After reaching level 40, Long Yaochen traveled with Long Xiaoyao, Ma Xiaotao, and Zhang Lexuan to obtain his fourth soul ring and resolve his Martial Soul issues. He first absorbed a forty-thousand-year Earth King soul ring to reach level 42, then entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, endured ice-and-fire tempering, completed his God-tier Martial Soul, and awakened the Crimson Moon as his second Martial Soul. 50 53 57 59 64

Crimson Moon Spirit Realm

Following the Crimson Moon’s awakening, Long Yaochen discovered that it was connected to a personal demiplane. He used its plant-enhancing aura to persuade the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to relocate there, ultimately emptying the treasured land of its highest-grade herbs. 66 67 68

Clear Sky Sect Confrontation

Concerned by Wang Dong’s abrupt disappearance and the influence surrounding her, Long Yaochen chose to confront the Clear Sky Sect directly. He recruited Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, helped restore Mu En with a Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, and forced the sect to address his demands. The incident culminated in Wang Dong’s return to Shrek as Wang Dong’er. 71 73 74 78

Shrek Main Team

Mu En directly selected Long Yaochen for Shrek’s tournament main team. He proved his place by defeating Dai Yueheng in one strike, then joined the official roster despite hostility from Xuan Zi and jealousy among the Inner Court members. 79 81 82

Continental Tournament

Long Yaochen displayed his fourth soul ring and Solar Flame against Heavenly Spirit Academy, defeating the opposing team with a massive sun-like attack. 101

During the later tournament rounds, he exposed Huo Yuhao’s disguised presence on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team, fused with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone amid political pressure from Star Luo and Sun Moon, and revealed the Crimson Moon’s two-ring configuration in the final team battle. 105 121 135

Against Sun Moon Academy, he used Crimson Moon Mirror Image to withstand concentrated soul-tool fire, absorbed released vengeful souls through the Crimson Moon, and used the Emperor Palm to force Old Tang to rescue Huo Yuhao. Shrek subsequently won the tournament championship. 135 139 140 146

Golden Tree Connection

While cultivating beneath the Golden Tree in Sea God Pavilion, Long Yaochen broke through a Spiritual Power bottleneck and sensed the tree’s distress. Realizing that Ah Yin was parasitizing the Golden Tree, he resolved to remove her despite the likely consequences for Tang San. 153

Sea God Pavilion Successor

Following the Continental Tournament, Long Yaochen chose not to remain in the Outer Court. He began residing and cultivating in Sea God Pavilion alongside Zhang Lexuan, received Mu En’s annotated Ruler Over All Under Heaven booklet, and became Shrek’s foremost successor despite concerns that his current strength was insufficient to command all of Shrek’s elders and disciples. 171 188

Star Dou Soul Spirit Arc

Seeking a suitable fifth soul ring and the Emperor Auspicious Beast, Long Yaochen returned to the Star Dou Great Forest with Long Xiaoyao. He ultimately fought the crippled Golden Earth Dragon in a prolonged battle, comprehended Ruler Over All Under Heaven, and defeated it with a single decisive punch. 172 179 181 182

Rather than killing the Golden Earth Dragon outright, Long Yaochen offered it continuation as a Soul Spirit. Its successful integration created his first Soul Spirit and propelled his cultivation to the peak of level 55. 182 184

Dawn Sacred Halo

After integrating the Golden Earth Dragon, Long Yaochen revealed his fifth soul skill, Dawn Sacred Halo. The boundless-amplification effect astonished Long Xiaoyao and demonstrated the immense support potential of Long Yaochen’s primary Martial Soul. 186 187

Ma Xiaotao’s Soul Spirit Breakthrough

Long Yaochen extended the Soul Spirit method to Ma Xiaotao by preparing the Flame Lion Queen for her seventh soul ring.

Sun Moon Exchange Student Conflict

When Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy exchange students arrived at Shrek, Xiao Hongchen challenged Long Yaochen over the Sealing God Platform.
