Hierarchy and Bloodlines
Dragon blood operates through a strict innate hierarchy. A superior lineage can instinctively suppress an inferior Hybrid's blood: Luo Qiusheng's Constantine-derived bloodline causes Jiu De Mai's dragon blood to boil uncontrollably and exposes her golden dragon pupils. 15
| Classification | Known examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Kings | Constantine; Fenrir; Jormungandr | Constantine is the King of Bronze and Fire; Fenrir is the King of Earth and Mountains; Jormungandr is likewise identified as a King of Earth and Mountains. 1 12 25 |
| First Generations | Constantine; Jormungandr | Constantine's bones are described as coming from a First Generation, while Jormungandr is directly identified as a First Generation during her confrontation with Luo Qiusheng. 13 27 |
| Hybrids | Luo Qiusheng; Jiu De Mai; Su Enxi | Hybrid capabilities and social standing are tied to bloodline purity and Spirit Word compatibility. 15 16 17 |
Traits and Powers
Dragon Might and Bloodline Suppression
Dragon blood produces a tangible oppressive presence. Activated bloodlines can radiate pressure strong enough to make ordinary people instinctively avoid their bearers. 15 17
- Higher-ranked dragon blood can suppress weaker Hybrid bloodlines and force visible draconic traits to surface. 15
- Fully activated bloodlines may manifest metallic dragon scales across the body. 17
- Dragon Kings possess pressure intense enough to make the air feel heavy and stagnant; Fenrir's emergence is accompanied by overwhelming primordial dragon might. 12
Spirit Words and Authority
Most Hybrids are stated to awaken only one innate Spirit ability, determined by their bloodline. 8
- Time Zero — Used by Luo Qiusheng to halt time briefly and steal the guards' purses at Heaven Dou City. 1
- Candle Dragon — A pinnacle fire-type apocalyptic Spirit Word associated with the King of Bronze and Fire. It contains the flame authority of two Dragon Kings and incinerates Dead Servants as well as Odin's replica Gungnir. 27 28
- Underworld Reflection — Jiu De Mai's concealment-based Spirit Word; it cannot conceal sound, scent, body temperature, heartbeat, or movement afterimages. 16
- Heavenly Deduction — Su Enxi's calculation-focused Spirit Word, capable of simulating vast probability lines and planning operations with extreme precision. 17
Nibelungen
A Nibelungen is described as a Dragon Tribe “kingdom of death,” a domain separated from the normal rules of the real world. 26
- Odin's Nibelungen takes the form of an endless storm-bound highway and traps Luo Qiusheng within a distorted space. 26
- The domain contains recurring Dead Servants and prevents ordinary escape routes from functioning. 27 28
- Dragon King awakenings are linked to the manifestation of Nibelungen. 12
Blood Rage
Blood Rage is a forbidden Hybrid art that suppresses the human personality and forcibly activates Dragon Tribe genes, raising bloodline purity and advancing the user's Spirit Word. 16
- The complete method is restricted to direct descendants of the Lionheart Society. 16
- Jiu De Mai's first Blood Rage unlocks her pure-blooded Dragon Tribe lineage and grants strength beyond ordinary high-level Hybrids. 17
- The process causes prolonged agony and can trigger severe bloodline backlash or collapse. 17
- Blood Rage is not equally suitable for all Spirit Words; Luo warns that forcing it upon Su Enxi's Heavenly Deduction risks disrupting the balance of its calculation-based ability. 17
Dragon Bones and Remains
Dragon remains are treated as rare strategic resources for power enhancement, alchemy, and weapon forging. 1 11
- Constantine's dragon bones resonate with Luo Qiusheng and are absorbed into his body as a soul bone set after his transmigration to the Douluo Continent. 1
- The absorption raises Luo's soul power to level 20, gives him wings, and grants him Constantine's innate fire ability. 1
- The bones remain incomplete without Constantine's twin, Norton; Luo concludes that a complete fusion requires both halves of the King of Bronze and Fire. 5
- Kassel College permits students on the Siberian ruins mission to collect low-level dragon bone fragments for alchemy and weapon forging. 11
History
A legend surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well states that two Elemental Dragon Kings fell at its site. Their deaths supposedly transformed the area into a dual-element blessed land rich in innate origin energy. 5
Constantine's remains become a major source of conflict after Luo Qiusheng touches the dragon bones and triggers a resonance that allows him to absorb them. Kassel College later places him before the Judgment Tribunal on accusations of taking the Dragon King's bones, though the investigation cannot explain how he could have survived Constantine's flames or escaped with the remains. 1 6
The contemporary Dragon Kings begin moving openly when Fenrir breaks through the Beijing subway station, marking the beginning of the conflict between Fenrir and Jormungandr. Luo Qiusheng destroys intelligence related to Jormungandr in an effort to delay the dragons' awakening. 12
Jormungandr subsequently confronts Luo in the subway tunnels while disguised behind a clown mask. Though she displays the pressure and hostility of a First Generation, Luo refuses to become a weapon for the Secret Party's dragon-slaying operations and withdraws after assessing her temperament. 13
Known Dragon Kings
- Constantine — King of Bronze and Fire. His dragon bones are absorbed by Luo Qiusheng, granting the latter wings, enhanced bloodline purity, and fire-based power. 1
- Fenrir — King of Earth and Mountains. He erupts from beneath a subway station, his awakening triggering widespread destruction and the opening phase of the Dragon Kings' conflict. 12
- Jormungandr — A First Generation and King of Earth and Mountains who operates under the identity of Xia Mi. She is suspicious of Luo Qiusheng after he identifies her disguise and refuses to fight her directly. 13 25
Records and Unresolved Points
- Secret Party research holds that world myths originate from Dragon Tribe history, yet Odin is regarded as a contradiction: its historical model contains no transcendent god existing outside the dragon-dominated era. 26
- Principal Hilbert von Ange finds no archival record of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon manifested in Luo Qiusheng's 3E examination drawing, describing it instead as an Eastern orthodox Dragon God absent from Kassel's known Dragon Tribe records. 9 17
- Luo Qiusheng's ability to ignore the suppressive rules of the Spirit Word Commandment leads von Ange to question whether his bloodline exceeds Kassel's conventional S-grade classification. 17
