Background

Lu Mingfei was originally an overlooked student on Earth. After the events at Red Well, Lu Mingze sent him to Douluo Continent to seek Hui Liyi, whose soul had supposedly reincarnated there. He awoke as an infant in the new world and was found abandoned at Holy Soul Village's entrance by Old Jack, who raised him as his adoptive grandson. 2 58

For six years, Lu lived in Holy Soul Village while retaining memories of his former life. He initially regarded himself as a cowardly failure and did not expect an extraordinary martial soul; Hui Liyi's memory, however, gave him a reason to pursue strength. 2

At his awakening ceremony, he manifested the Black Dragon King. Its bloodline pressure forced Su Yuntao's soul power to recoil and nearly drove the Spirit Hall deacon to his knees. The subsequent soul-power test indicated innate level 20 or higher, prompting Spirit Hall to recruit him immediately. Lu accepted because its resources and continental reach offered his best chance to find Hui Liyi. 2 3 4

After his stay at Blue Tyrant Academy, Lu deliberately displayed his martial soul and ten-thousand-year soul ring during an exchange match so news of his whereabouts would reach Spirit Hall. Liu Erlong instead arranged for Shen Yuji to take him to Flender's Shrek Academy for safety. Lu later chose to return to Spirit Hall when its pursuit endangered Shen Yuji and his Shrek companions. 123 125 156 157

Appearance

Lu Mingfei was initially a thin, small boy with messy black hair, a pale complexion, delicate features, and perpetually listless-looking eyes. He wore faded gray clothing and patched shoes in Holy Soul Village. 2

• His Black Dragon King martial soul first appeared as a black-dragon tattoo on the back of his right hand. 3
• Under martial soul possession, his hands and arms become covered in black scales and form sharp dragon claws. 33 54
• The Black Dragon King's first seal breaking gave him golden dragon eyes and a more pronounced dragonified state. 64
• Following the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's refinement, his eyes gained an unusual clarity associated with Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils. 77 81
• The Silver Dragon Spear's appearance in the Star Dou Great Forest triggered an involuntary partial transformation, including black scales, claws, and golden vertical pupils. 147

Personality

Lu Mingfei is habitually self-deprecating and initially sees himself as a loser rather than the protagonist-like genius his innate talent suggests. He often responds to overwhelming circumstances with awkward jokes, complaints, or casual humor. 3 31

Beneath that façade, he is exceptionally persistent. Hui Liyi remains the central motive behind his cultivation, and he repeatedly forces himself through pain, exhaustion, and danger because becoming stronger is the only path he sees toward finding her. 2 10 13

He is also restrained and practical. Rather than rashly investigate the silvery-white power within him, he chooses to prioritize cultivating the Black Dragon King; likewise, he keeps his stronger abilities concealed when revealing them would create unnecessary risk. 11 95 His concern for Huang Fei and his willingness to seek medicine for her demonstrate loyalty and gratitude. 53 91

Lu gradually grows comfortable with the companionship offered at Blue Tyrant and Shrek academies. He encourages Ma Hongjun's cultivation and spares Dai Mubai a more humiliating defeat. When Shen Yuji risks her life against Spirit Hall's pursuers, he accepts capture rather than leave her behind. 111 133 134 140 141 156 157

Abilities & Skills

Black Dragon King Martial Soul

A top-tier, emperor-grade dragon-type martial soul whose bloodline exerts instinctive suppression over dragons and dragon-blooded beings. Its awakened form manifests as a massive black dragon phantom and later as a more solid black dragon soul with golden eyes. 2 31 33

• Its dragon's might caused Su Yuntao's soul power to recoil during Lu's awakening. 2
• His soul power possesses a corrosive attribute capable of eroding defensive barriers. 9 12
• Martial soul possession grants dragon claws, black scales, and early dragonification. 33
• The Black Dragon King subdued the lingering will of the ten-thousand-year fire dragon, allowing Lu to absorb its soul ring safely. 63
• Breaking its first seal further strengthened Lu and produced golden dragon eyes. 64
• Its phantom frightened Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix during the Skywater Academy exchange match. The Silver Dragon Spear later stirred it into an involuntary transformation. 118 147

White Dragon King Martial Soul

A silvery-white power distinct from the Black Dragon King, first sensed dormant deep within Lu's soul. It later fully awakened and exists in balance with the Black Dragon King. 10 34

• A White Dragon King appeared in Lu's dreams before its identity was understood. 11
• It aids Lu in enduring the clashing medicinal effects of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot. 56
• The Black and White Dragon Kings resonate together after the first soul ring's absorption. 34 45

Dustless Domain

Lu Mingfei's first soul skill, obtained from the millennium Taotie Divine Bull's purple soul ring. It creates a pale-golden force field around him, protected by high-speed air currents. 31 33

• Forms a defensive barrier that dissipates physical impacts and piercing attacks. 33
• Can protect allies and permits brief levitation. 34
• May be compressed around enemies for offensive use. Lu initially lacked the soul power to perform its full grinding application, but later contracted the field to attack Shui Bing'er. 34 119
• Its defensive strength allowed him to effortlessly block Yu Tianjiao's Annihilation Ray even while his soul power was suppressed. 97 98
• It can be overwhelmed by the direct power of a ten-thousand-year soul beast. 62
• It repelled Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal and the water projectiles of another Skywater Academy challenger. 118 119 120

Emperor Domain

A dormant bloodline domain that emerged when Lu was pushed to his limit. It intertwines with Dustless Domain and radiates pale-golden light. 39

• Strengthens nearby soul skills and enhances martial souls carrying dragon bloodlines. 39 40
• Simultaneously suppresses and empowers dragon-blooded targets within its range. 33
• Its influence accelerated Yu Tianjiao and Yu Tianheng's dragonification. 90

Jun Yan

Lu Mingfei's second soul skill, formed after absorbing the ten-thousand-year fire dragon's black soul ring. 63 64

• Produces a massive, destructive explosion that devastated a forest clearing. 64
• Its power drew the attention and shock of Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo. 64
• Destroyed Shui Bing'er's Ice Ring Armor and knocked her out of the fighting ring. Its flames also helped awaken Ma Hongjun's dormant Phoenix bloodline. 119 133

Million-Year Torso Bone

A million-year soul bone fused into Lu's torso that greatly reinforces his body and martial souls. 45

• Gravity Control — Manipulates gravity over a broad area, pins targets down, and enables rock-and-sand manipulation. 62 63
• Mountain Dragon Guard — Creates a heavy, mountain-patterned protective barrier capable of blocking the fire dragon's breath. 62
• Using both skills consumes substantial soul power. 63

Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils

An ocular ability refined from the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. It grants adjustable penetrating vision and heightened visual perception. 76 77 78 79 80 81

• Can see through simple obstacles, disguises, and illusions. 77
• Allows Lu to perceive soul-power flow, predict attacks, and identify weak points. 77 97
• Its penetration depth can be consciously adjusted or disabled. 79 81
• Thick walls, deep earth, and powerful obstructions remain beyond its initial mastery. 81
• Helped him anticipate Gu Qingbo's changes of direction and evade Dai Mubai's attacks with minimal movement. 120 139

Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Lu Mingfei's Black Dragon King and Na’er's Silver Dragon Spear formed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill when the two martial souls reacted to each other in the Star Dou Great Forest. The dragon gripped the spear as silver and black energies intertwined, producing an oppressive dragon might. 147 148

• The fused power caused nearby soul beasts to react with fear and suppressed the Shrek group's martial souls by instinct. 148
• The fusion ended when the dragon's eyes closed and the pressure faded; Na’er nearly collapsed from the strain. 148

Physical Tempering and Herbal Knowledge

Lu's body has been repeatedly strengthened by rare resources, while his familiarity with Douluo Continent lore lets him identify and use immortal herbs effectively. 15 56 59 60

• Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue and a Soul Pill reconstructed and strengthened his physique. 15
• The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, combined with ice- and fire-attributed immortal herbs, granted resistance to extreme cold and heat. 56 57
• He harvested herbs partly to heal Huang Fei, including the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. 60
• His strengthened body and combat fundamentals allowed him to defeat Dai Mubai in a spar without using a soul skill. 139 140
