Yu Tianheng

Biodata

Background / History

Yu Tianheng is a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Heaven Dou Royal Academy identifies his martial soul as the continent's strongest beast martial soul and considers him a core member of its royal team, with extensive combat experience. 4

When Bai Yi sought admission to the Heaven Dou Grade, he specifically selected Yu Tianheng as his opponent because he wanted to test himself against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. 4 Yu Tianheng accepted the challenge but was defeated in a single exchange; his transformed dragon claws broke and his scales were shattered by Bai Yi's Mountain Crushing Peak Suppressing. 5

After recovering, Yu Tianheng vowed that he would one day defeat Bai Yi with his own dragon claws. 6 He and Dugu Yan continued challenging Bai Yi over the following month, but almost never won. 8 He later led a seven-person Heaven Dou Class team against Bai Yi and Ye Lingling, but his side was defeated. 8

Yu Tianheng remained part of the Heaven Dou Royal Team during its academy exchange matches and won one individual match. 14 When the academy formally appointed Bai Yi as team captain after Bai Yi routed the Five Great Academies, Yu Tianheng raised no objection. 19

Personality

Yu Tianheng is initially proud of both his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul and his own cultivation, declaring that Bai Yi could not defeat him. 5 His confidence is tempered by repeated defeats; rather than withdrawing, he openly promises to become stronger and challenge Bai Yi again. 6

He is competitive and persistent, repeatedly joining challenges against Bai Yi despite their poor record. 8 He also shows restraint in team disputes, declining to intervene in the conflict between Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong because he recognizes that Ning Rongrong's arrival has disrupted the team's rhythm. 25
