Background / History

Wu Zhangkong is introduced around Eastsea Academy as Tang Wulin’s teacher, with Tang San considering him a possible source of help for obtaining spirit fruits needed to break the first Golden Dragon King seal 35. Before the class promotion match, Wu Zhangkong encourages Tang Wulin in an unusually gentle tone, reminding him that the match is only a promotion match and telling him to do his best 39.

During the promotion match, Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King bloodline is triggered, and Xu Yue responds with overwhelming gravity and killing intent. Wu Zhangkong rushes in to protect Tang Wulin, intercepting Xu Yue’s thrown rock spear and then directly battling Xu Yue to shield his student 42 43 44. The fight forces Wu Zhangkong to reveal his Battle Armor Master status by equipping his One-Word Battle Armor: Ice 44.

After Principal Yu Zhen stops the fight, Wu Zhangkong receives only a mild reprimand and leaves the principal’s office in silence. Yu Zhen later asks him to mediate between Tang Wulin and Xu Yue, especially because their conflict threatens the future of Zero Class 45 48.

As Zero Class’s teacher, Wu Zhangkong oversees testing, lessons, and exams. He teaches the class about spiritual power, weapon intent, battle armor, mechas, soul-skill control, and the dangers of the Rioting Spirit Ascension Platform 50 52 67. He also brings the students to the Tang Sect for extra assessment and explains that the Spirit Ascension Platform’s benefits have largely been exhausted for them 76.

At the Skysea Alliance Tournament, Wu Zhangkong acts as Eastsea Academy’s supervising teacher. He discusses the Shrek team with Shen Yi, hints at Xu Yue’s exceptional strength without revealing too much, and later tells Shen Yi that Xu Yue is only “a tiny bit” stronger than Gu Yue 112 115.

Appearance

Wu Zhangkong is repeatedly associated with a cold, stern image and white clothing. When Shen Yi recognizes him, he is described as wearing white robes, with white hair and a cold, stern face 111.

• White robes 111
• White hair 111
• Cold, stern expression 111
• Often maintains an icy or aloof demeanor 36 45 50

Personality

Wu Zhangkong is outwardly cold, strict, and disciplined, but he is consistently shown caring about his students’ safety and long-term growth. He scolds the class when needed, keeps order with a single cold shout, and pushes students toward higher goals such as Shrek Academy 49 50.

His gentler side appears most clearly with Tang Wulin. After the promotion match incident, Wu Zhangkong apologizes to Tang Wulin, explains that persistence is not always correct, and advises him to understand his own limits before trying to reconcile with Xu Yue 51. He frames the advice as a suggestion rather than an order, saying he will respect Tang Wulin’s decision 51.

Wu Zhangkong also has a strong Shrek pride. During his battle with Xu Yue, being suppressed by a three-ring student stirs anger in him because “the pride of a Shrek student could not be trampled upon” 44. Despite this pride, he is pragmatic enough to acknowledge Xu Yue’s monstrous talent and later treat him as a serious opponent 50 98 100.

The fight reveals Wu Zhangkong’s Battle Armor Master status and ends only when higher authority stops it 44 45.

Zero Class Formation

After the promotion-match fallout, Wu Zhangkong becomes central to Zero Class’s direction. He tries to stabilize the class atmosphere, tests the students’ spiritual and physical abilities, and begins teaching advanced topics suited to elite students 48 49 50 52.

Skysea Alliance Tournament

Wu Zhangkong supervises Eastsea Academy’s team at the Skysea Alliance Grand Competition and appoints Xu Yue as captain and Gu Yue as vice-captain 105.
