Background / History

She Long arrived at the Vast Sea City Spirit Hall shortly after Zhao Ming awakened with innate full soul power. Carrying an Elder's token, he evaluated Zhao Ming's Steel Whip martial soul and judged its hardness and weight close to the standard of a top-tier blunt-weapon martial soul. He then took Zhao Ming to Star Dou Forest to obtain his first soul ring. 4

Although he did not explain the political circumstances to Zhao Ming, She Long had been dispatched at Qian Renxue's request. Zhao Ming was intended to become a talented helper for her efforts in Heaven Dou City, while Spirit Hall remained divided between Bibi Dong and loyalists of the Angel lineage. 4

Following Zhao Ming's first-ring hunt, She Long brought him to Heaven Dou City and the Crown Prince's Palace. There, he publicly maintained the identity of a Soul Sage recruited by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, while privately serving Qian Renxue. 6

Qian Renxue assigned him to systematically teach Zhao Ming soul master fundamentals. His instruction covered soul power circulation, soul-beast identification, ring-age assessment, ring absorption, combat techniques, and practical adaptability. 8 11

Appearance

She Long is a lean, nearly two-meter-tall elderly man whose posture and bearing are compared to a taut, sharpened spear. Despite appearing over eighty years old, he remains vigorous from long cultivation. 4

• Gray hair standing in sharp spikes. 4
• A long healed scar crosses his left eye from brow to cheekbone. 4
• Long, straight torso and a sharp, erect bearing. 4
• Naturally emits a fierce killing aura. 4
• Commonly wears dark gray fitted clothing; when traveling discreetly, he disguises himself as an elderly coachman. 8 11

Personality

She Long is stern, direct, and practical. His teaching is concise, and he disciplines Zhao Ming more through silent pressure than open scolding. He questions reckless plans—particularly Zhao Ming's attempts to absorb overly powerful soul rings—but fulfills his duty once a decision is made. 11 29

He is perceptive toward talent and character. Zhao Ming's composure, diligence, combat aptitude, and refusal to be distracted by wealth repeatedly raise She Long's assessment of him. 5 6 10 11

His loyalty to Qian Renxue and his responsibilities is evident when he accepts the loss of a year's cultivation resources without complaint after failing to keep Zhao Ming under protection. 24

Story Role / Major Arcs

Retrieval of Zhao Ming

She Long retrieves Zhao Ming from Vast Sea City on behalf of Qian Renxue's faction. After approving Zhao Ming's Steel Whip martial soul and clear assault-type cultivation plan, he brings him to Star Dou Forest. 4

First Soul Ring Hunt

He subdues a Golden Armored Earth Dragon and allows Zhao Ming to absorb its more than nine-hundred-year ring after personally confirming the boy's unusual physical condition. He then protects Zhao Ming through half a month of combat training in Star Dou Forest. 5

Crown Prince's Palace Instructor

After escorting Zhao Ming to Heaven Dou City, She Long becomes his regular instructor at the Crown Prince's Palace. He teaches practical and theoretical foundations while reporting Zhao Ming's development to Qian Renxue. 6 8 10 11

Second Soul Ring Hunt

She Long escorts Zhao Ming into Sunset Forest for an agility-oriented second ring. Though he considers an Emerald Demon Bird nearly impossible to find, he witnesses both the bird and a Sharp-tailed Swift inexplicably crash into a cliff. He guards Zhao Ming's absorption and is stunned when the Emerald Demon Bird also yields a right arm soul bone. 12 13

Failed Surveillance and Punishment

Qian Renxue orders She Long to secretly protect Zhao Ming during his independent training. Zhao Ming escapes by entering the Mustard Seed Space, leaving She Long unable to track him. When Zhao Ming returns, Qian Renxue fines She Long a year's cultivation resources for dereliction of duty; he accepts the punishment silently. 14 15 24

Third Soul Ring Hunt

She Long escorts Zhao Ming back to Star Dou Forest for a dangerous ten-thousand-year third ring. He drives off a Firefeather Eagle with his Title Douluo aura, guards Zhao Ming while he absorbs the Netherworld Sword Lion King's ring, and remains tense until Zhao Ming confirms his success. 29 30 31
