Background / History

Wu Zhangkong came to Eastsea Academy to fulfill the final wish of his beloved, Bing'er, who had wanted to become a teacher. He considers Zero Class to be the last group of students he will teach; afterward, he intends to return to Shrek and continue cultivating until he can kill Dark Hummingbird. 30

He was appointed Class One's homeroom teacher after Mu Qian was removed for discriminatory and corrupt conduct. From his first day, he established that students would be assessed by skill and conduct rather than the quality of their martial souls. 15

Wu Zhangkong is an extraordinarily handsome man with an austere, melancholic presence. His ice-blue hair and deep, ancient-well-like eyes reinforce his cold and mysterious bearing. 15

• Deep blue eyes described as calm and unfathomable. 15
• Usually carries an azure or sapphire-blue longsword. 16 19

Personality

Wu Zhangkong is stern, exacting, and outwardly indifferent. He enforces discipline immediately, punishing late arrivals, classroom whispering, poor combat judgment, and failure during training exercises. 15 16 19 30

Beneath that severity, he is a highly attentive mentor. He observes each student’s limitations, creates individualized training plans, ensures medical care is available, and calibrates exercises to exhaust students without leaving hidden injuries. His concern is particularly visible when Tang Wulin returns safely from the infirmary. 18 19
