History

The Coiling Dragon Staff was awarded to Ao Yin by the Sign-In System at Holy Soul Village as a Level 1 reward, initially pending martial-soul awakening 2. During the awakening ceremony, Ao Yin concealed his Dark Sacred Dragon and revealed only the staff. Its black body, carved patterns, and primordial aura led Su Yuntao to dismiss it as an inferior mutation 3.

Ao Yin later discovered that its supposed snake carvings were actually nine dragon patterns. At its lightest, the staff weighed ten jun, while its unrestricted weight was ten thousand jun; activating one dragon pattern increased its weight from ten to one hundred jun 7. He activated all nine patterns during his confrontation with Yu Xiaogang, proving that the staff did not require the latter's guidance to awaken 11.

The staff's first ring came from a newborn Fire Glass Vine Serpent, a sub-dragon species whose Southern Bright Lihuo attribute matched the staff closely 26. Ao Yin subsequently raised that ring's age to more than five hundred years and used its first soul skill, Red Tide, against the Six-Winged Frost Centipede 27 28. After killing the centipede, he made its six-hundred-year ring the staff's second soul ring 29.

With both rings manifested, the staff gained the appearance of a true-dragon weapon: a crimson Fire Glass Vine Serpent coiled around one end and a snow-white Six-Winged Frost Centipede around the other 30. Li Yusong later identified it as the unparalleled supreme-grade mutation among Dragon-Pattern Staff martial souls 40.

At Shrek Academy, Ao Yin displayed three ten-thousand-year staff rings during Zhao Wuji's assessment. His third ring, obtained from the Blood Jade Spider, provided Silk Transformation, allowing the Ice-Fire Coiling Dragon Staff to produce poisonous, razor-sharp strands of staff energy 42 46. During the Star Dou Great Forest expedition, he acquired a fourth, hundred-thousand-year Sky Azure Bull Python soul ring and its associated soul bone through the Sign-In System 70 73.

The Sky Azure Bull Python ring unlocked the staff's fourth soul skill, Holy Light Azure Dragon Transformation, and imbued its dragon patterns with azure holy radiance 82. Following continued sign-ins at Shrek Academy and the Great Soul Arena, the staff's ring ages continued to increase; the Six-Winged Frost Centipede ring ultimately reached hundred-thousand-year age 89 111.

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ao Yin used a 100,000-year ring-age reward on the Blood Jade Spider ring, raising it to 110,000 years. The Fire Glass Vine Serpent, Six-Winged Frost Centipede, and Sky Azure Bull Python rings had already reached the hundred-thousand-year threshold, giving the Coiling Dragon Staff a complete configuration of four scarlet rings 120. Ao Yin subsequently manifested the Dark Sacred Dragon's Spirit Eyes through the staff in battle, and used its hundred-thousand-year Southern Bright Lihuo to overpower Liu Erlong's Red Dragon Flame 127 147.

Appearance

The Coiling Dragon Staff is a long, black, ancient-looking staff marked by nine intertwined dragon patterns. When dormant, its dim patterns make it resemble an ordinary fire poker; when empowered, they glow and the weapon emits heavy draconic pressure 3 7.

• Nine dragon patterns — Coil around the staff's body and can glow fiery red when activated 7 11.
• Variable form — Can expand in size and thickness during combat 28 37.
• Ice-and-fire manifestation — After receiving two rings, it bears a fire-dragon image at one end and an ice-dragon image at the other 30.
• Soul-ring display — Ao Yin can present its rings in altered colors through his Appearance-Shifting Art, including a three-thousand-year-ring guise 36.
• Four-ring display — Ao Yin later manifested four staff rings in a black, black, black, red configuration, with the red ring belonging to the Sky Azure Bull Python 73.
• Azure-dragon radiance — The Sky Azure Bull Python ring can cause brilliant azure holy light to emerge from the staff's dragon patterns 82.
• Four scarlet rings — Following the Blood Jade Spider ring's enhancement, all four of the staff's soul rings can manifest as hundred-thousand-year-or-higher scarlet rings 120.
• Spirit Eyes manifestation — When Ao Yin combines the staff with the Dark Sacred Dragon's second soul skill, countless tiny blood-red Spirit Eyes can open across its body 127.

Abilities & Skills

Adjustable Weight

The staff's defining trait is its extraordinary and controllable weight.

• Its normal restrained weight is ten jun, while its unrestricted base weight is ten thousand jun 7 8.
• Each activated dragon pattern multiplies its weight tenfold; one active pattern raises it to one hundred jun 7.
• Ao Yin initially needed to consume considerable soul power merely to wield it, but gained sufficient strength to train with it at one hundred jun after receiving the Strength of One Hundred Jun reward 7 8.
• Its immense mass allows it to create shockwaves, shatter ice, and deliver crushing staff strikes 28 29.
• After his physical strength reached ten thousand jun, Ao Yin could wield the staff at its unrestricted base weight as naturally as an extension of his body 8.

Dragon Pattern Activation

The nine patterns are the staff's core feature rather than decorative mutations.

• All nine can be activated at once by pouring soul power into the weapon 11.
• Activated patterns awaken a fiery-red radiance and intensify the staff's draconic pressure 11.
• A dragon pattern fully awakens when Red Tide is used, turning the staff red-hot with Southern Bright Lihuo 29.
• Following the acquisition of the Sky Azure Bull Python ring, azure holy light can also illuminate the patterns 82.

Red Tide

Red Tide is the Coiling Dragon Staff's first soul skill, granted by the Fire Glass Vine Serpent soul ring.

• Channels the Fire Glass Vine Serpent's innate Southern Bright Lihuo through the staff 28.
• Produces destructive fire-dragon flames capable of melting ice and dispersing cold-based attacks 28 29.
• Creates a ten-meter area of encircling flame known as the Red Tide Domain, which can trap an enemy's retreat 29.
• Can be combined with Ao Yin's Myriad-Jun Strength for a heavier, flame-empowered strike 29.
• Overpowered Dai Mubai's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave in a direct clash 37.
• Can be stacked with Dark Sacred Dragon possession and Dragon-Elephant Power to produce a massively enlarged, overwhelming staff strike 61.
• After the Fire Glass Vine Serpent ring reached the hundred-thousand-year level, its Southern Bright Lihuo was powerful enough to completely suppress Liu Erlong's Red Dragon Flame 120 147.

Spirit Binding

Spirit Binding is the Coiling Dragon Staff's second soul skill, associated with the Six-Winged Frost Centipede ring.

• Temporarily attacks or restrains an opponent's spirit, leaving their mind disrupted and Soul Power sluggish 45 46.
• Ao Yin used it against Zhao Wuji before following with Silk Transformation, preventing the Soul Sage from immediately resisting the latter technique 46.

Silk Transformation

Silk Transformation is the staff's third soul skill, granted by the Blood Jade Spider ring.

• Transforms the fire-and-ice dragon manifestations at the ends of the staff into extremely thin strands of staff energy 46.
• The resulting Blood Jade Coiling Dragon Threads possess sharpness comparable to sword energy 46 82.
• Its red and frost-white threads carry Blood Jade Spider venom enhanced by fire and frost poison 46.
• Ao Yin used the threads to pierce Zhao Wuji's vital acupoints, causing the Soul Sage's Soul Power to seize up 46.
• The threads can be interwoven into a large net, though they were shredded by the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear's claws 82.
• The Blood Jade Spider ring was later increased to 110,000 years, greatly strengthening the soul skill's underlying ring foundation 120.

Holy Light Azure Dragon Transformation

Holy Light Azure Dragon Transformation is the Coiling Dragon Staff's fourth soul skill, granted by the hundred-thousand-year Sky Azure Bull Python ring.

• Transforms Ao Yin through the staff's Sky Azure Bull Python power, allowing him to assume an azure dragon form 82.
• Causes azure holy light to burst from the staff's dragon patterns 82.
• Carries the ancient pressure of the Sky Azure Bull Python's king-level bloodline, which can suppress soul beasts native to the Star Dou Great Forest 82.

Dark Sacred Dragon Fusion

Ao Yin can combine his Dark Sacred Dragon martial soul with the Coiling Dragon Staff, allowing the dragon martial soul's power to manifest through the weapon.

• Dark Sacred Dragon possession substantially enhances the staff's draconic pressure, destructive force, and bloodline suppression 28 61.
• The Dark Sacred Dragon can coil around the staff as a fused martial-soul manifestation 127.
• When using the Dark Sacred Dragon's second soul skill, Spirit Eyes, innumerable eyes emerge across the staff and enable spiritual detection, interference, soul shock, and the copying of an enemy soul skill 120 127.
• Ao Yin used the staff-bound Spirit Eyes to fully analyze and copy Qin Ming's Heaven-Burning Flames 127.

Draconic Bloodline Suppression

The Fire Glass Vine Serpent ring gives the staff an ancient sub-dragon aura.

• Its dragon bloodline intimidated the six-hundred-year Six-Winged Frost Centipede despite the first ring's pale-white appearance 28.
• The suppression became particularly potent when Ao Yin also used Dark Sacred Dragon possession 28.
• The centipede's Ice Dragon bloodline later became the basis of the staff's second ring and ice-and-fire form 29 30.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python ring adds the pressure of a forest-king soul beast, which made the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear hesitate and retreat from Ao Yin 82.

Power of Myriad Forms

Power of Myriad Forms is a powerful staff strike performed with the Coiling Dragon Staff.

• Enlarges and thickens the weapon before impact 37.
• Can be delivered while the staff is wrapped in Southern Bright Lihuo 37.

Staff Techniques

Ao Yin supplements the staff's soul skills with martial techniques that do not inherently require Soul Power.

• Dog-Beating Staff Technique — A close-combat technique used to exploit openings, strike Tang San's lower body, and counter the Eight Spider Lances with Cruel Jab at the Dog's Spine 90.
• Awei's Eighteen Forms: Poison Dragon Drill — A high-speed spiraling staff thrust empowered by Dragon-Elephant Power; it cracked Dai Mubai's White Tiger Body-Protecting Barrier 91.
• Radiant Gold Sacred Dragon Aspect — A self-created God-Level Soul Skill that condenses immense Sacred Dragon power through the Coiling Dragon Staff. When combined with Ao Yin's Dark Sacred Dragon bloodline, it manifests a radiant golden sacred-dragon aspect with overwhelming offensive power 99.

Relationships

• Ao Yin — Sole wielder. The staff is his first martial soul and main close-combat weapon 2 3.
• Dark Sacred Dragon — Ao Yin's second martial soul; its possession amplifies the staff's draconic pressure and bloodline suppression, while its Spirit Eyes can manifest across the staff during their fusion 5 28 127.
• Fire Glass Vine Serpent — Source of the first soul ring and the Southern Bright Lihuo-based skill Red Tide; its ring later reached the hundred-thousand-year level 26 28 120.

• Blood Jade Spider — Source of the third soul ring and the Silk Transformation skill; its ring was subsequently enhanced to 110,000 years 46 120.
• Sky Azure Bull Python — Source of the fourth hundred-thousand-year soul ring, which grants Holy Light Azure Dragon Transformation and king-level bloodline pressure 70 82.
• Evil Eye Tyrant — Source of the Dark Sacred Dragon's second soul ring; its Spirit Eyes ability can be projected through the Coiling Dragon Staff when Ao Yin fuses his martial souls 120 127.
• Yu Xiaogang — Correctly recognized the staff's potential as a top-tier martial soul, but falsely claimed Ao Yin required his guidance to activate its dragon patterns 11.
