Background

She Long is the sole surviving support of his grandson, Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei's parents—both ordinary-strength Spirit Hall deacons—died while suppressing evil soul masters, leaving the child under She Long's protection. However, She Long's long-term assignment in Heaven Dou City meant he rarely returned to Spirit City. 1

As a Spirit Hall elder, She Long and his close friend Ci Xue were specially assigned to assist and protect Qian Renxue during her operation in Heaven Dou City. This duty kept him near the Crown Prince's Residence, where Zhang Fei was eventually raised under Qian Renxue's care. 1 2

She Long's reputation among Titled Douluo is poor despite his rank. He was suppressed by the lower-ranked Yang Wudi during the Heaven Dou Palace Coup and later retreated grievously wounded after fighting Yang again at Jialing Pass. His fifth soul ring is notably only a thousand-year purple ring, an unusual weakness for a Titled Douluo. 1

After Zhang Fei awakened twin martial souls and full innate soul power, She Long initially proposed sending him to Spirit Hall Junior Academy. When Qian Renxue chose to keep Zhang Fei at the Crown Prince's Residence instead, She Long accepted the decision and took responsibility for personally teaching him. 3

Appearance

She Long is a tall, thin elderly man with a stern-looking face, prominent cheekbones, and a faint blue-violet gleam in his pupils. 2

• Carries himself with the oppressive presence of a Titled Douluo. 2
• Originally wielded a nearly three-meter azure-purple serpent spear wreathed in lightning. 2
• After consuming the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, his weapon martial soul became a thicker, heavier, deep ink-jade spear with a sharper edge. 14

Personality

She Long is blunt, impatient, and readily scolds Zhang Fei when he becomes careless or overconfident. He often punctuates lessons with a smack to the back of Zhang Fei's head, especially after the boy's first soul-ring breakthrough. 7 8

Beneath his gruff manner, he is deeply devoted to his grandson. He openly weeps when Zhang Fei is confirmed to possess twin martial souls and full innate soul power, guards him during dangerous soul-ring absorption, and repeatedly prioritizes his safety during their expeditions. 3 8 12

He is also a patient and practical mentor. She Long teaches Zhang Fei Spirit Hall's advanced meditation technique, forest survival habits, soul-beast identification, combat fundamentals, and the importance of real battle experience. 5 6 26

• Taught Zhang Fei advanced meditation techniques from Spirit Hall. 5
• Instructed him to prioritize draconic, strength-type soul beasts to evolve the Golden Python toward a dragon. 6
• Trained him in vigilance, terrain awareness, concealment of soul power, and identifying soul-beast tracks. 6
• Subdued soul beasts so Zhang Fei could safely deliver the final blow and absorb their soul rings. 7 22
• Revised Zhang Fei's regimen to include fights at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, stressing that combat experience cannot be gained through closed-door training. 26

Relationships

• Zhang Fei — Grandson, ward, and disciple. She Long protects him during expeditions, trains him intensely, and takes pride in his exceptional advancement. 3 8 22
• Qian Renxue / Xue Qinghe — Spirit Hall superior and the person She Long assists in Heaven Dou City. He respects her judgment regarding Zhang Fei's upbringing and follows her orders. 2 3

• Dugu Bo — Rival Titled Douluo. They fought in Sunset Forest after She Long attempted to force Dugu Bo from the area claimed by Spirit Hall. 10
• Yang Wudi — A combatant whose past victories over She Long contributed to the Serpent Spear Douluo's poor reputation. 1

Story Role / Major Arcs

Zhang Fei's Martial Soul Awakening

She Long conducts Zhang Fei's awakening ceremony, reveals his own martial soul and nine-ring configuration, and is overwhelmed when Zhang Fei awakens twin martial souls with full innate soul power. He offers to oversee Zhang Fei's education personally. 2 3

First Soul Ring Hunt

She Long supervises Zhang Fei's whale-glue body tempering, teaches him advanced meditation, and escorts him to Sunset Forest. He trains Zhang Fei through his first fights against soul beasts before subduing an eight-hundred-year Golden-armored Dragon Lizard for him. 4 5 6 7

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Despite misgivings, She Long follows Zhang Fei deeper into Sunset Forest, clashes with Dugu Bo, and later protects Zhang Fei while he undergoes the dangerous Ice-Fire Body Tempering. 9 10 11 12

Martial Soul Evolution

Zhang Fei gives She Long the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The herb transforms his Serpent Spear martial soul and advances him to Peak Rank 93; afterward, he helps conceal the true source of their gains from Qian Renxue. 13 14

Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Hunt

Now at Rank 94, She Long returns to Sunset Forest with Zhang Fei and battles an adult Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. He wounds and restrains the beast, enabling Zhang Fei to gain a powerful soul ring and the Heaven-Rending Claw external soul bone. 21 22 23

Trivia

• She Long's fifth soul ring is a thousand-year purple ring, making him an outlier among Titled Douluo. 1
• He initially misunderstands Zhang Fei's request for thousand-year whale glue because it is commonly treated as an aphrodisiac among nobles and merchants. 4
• Zhang Fei intends to give him a forty-thousand-year strength-type right arm bone in the future, believing She Long's equipment to be inadequate. 5
