Background / History

Xiang Longyin was the only Beast Evolution Star descendant in a thousand generations to undergo ancestral reversion and awaken Dragon Blood. Beast Race elders regarded him as the race’s foremost hope, believing he would eventually surpass them and lead Beast Evolution Star to greater heights 96.

Before the Star Realm conflict, he defeated Fan Mubai—Imperial Capital Martial University’s leading fourth-year expert—within three moves, raising Beast Race morale and establishing himself as a threat to Scarlet Radiance’s strongest young martial artists 90.

Appearance

Xiang Longyin possesses an enormous Beast Race body covered in hard scales. Dragon Blood manifests as Dragon Might within him, giving his roar a draconic quality and allowing him to suppress weaker Beast Race bloodlines 93 113.

• Dense scales capable of resisting the combined attacks of Fan Mubai, Ding Qing, and Zhang Yingxue 93.
• A massive physique and overwhelming physical strength, used to charge and crush opponents directly 136.
• Dragon Might that causes weaker Beast Race members to feel bloodline suppression 113 124.

Personality

Xiang Longyin is supremely confident in his Dragon Blood and considers ordinary Beast Race geniuses unworthy of competing with him. He believed the Dragon Soldier Armor was his by right and viewed obtaining it as the first step toward becoming a true dragon 113 114.

Despite his arrogance, he is calculating and patient when pursuing a goal. He participated in the Three-Leaf Treasure Lotus operation primarily to lure Chen Yu into the Star Realm, prepared Thousand-Mile Fragrance in advance, and initially restrained himself in battle to recover the lotus’s location 125 135 136.

Chen Yu’s rapid comprehension of Martial Intent ultimately made Xiang Longyin abandon the lotus entirely. Recognizing Chen Yu as a future threat, he chose to kill him immediately rather than allow his opponent further opportunity to grow 137.

Abilities & Skills

Dragon Blood

A trace of Starry Sky Dragon Clan blood grants Xiang Longyin exceptional physical power, defense, and bloodline authority.

• His scales endured repeated attacks from Chen Yu, with shallow wounds rapidly scabbing over 136.
• His Dragon Might suppresses Beast Race members with inferior bloodlines 113 124.
• His Dragon Blood resonated with the Dragon Blood Pool, allowing him to cultivate Azure Dragon Body Tempering roughly ten times faster than other Beast Race competitors 114.
• The bloodline was strong enough for Beast Race elders to regard him as their best candidate for the Dragon Race inheritance 96.

Sound-Wave Technique

Xiang Longyin’s strongest combat technique is an invisible roar infused with Dragon Might.

• Can briefly freeze powerful opponents such as Fan Mubai and other Scarlet Radiance geniuses 136.
• Failed against Chen Yu because Chen Yu also possessed Dragon Blood and was immune to its bloodline suppression 136.

Azure Dragon Body Tempering

Xiang Longyin comprehended the Azure Dragon Body Tempering secret art from his bloodline during the Beast Race inheritance trial.

• Cultivated within a Dragon Blood Pool to rapidly advance the first level of the art 114.
• Expected the art and the Dragon Soldier Armor to help him qualify for entry into the Dragon Race Sacred Land 96 113.
• Lost the Dragon Soldier Armor inheritance when an unknown competitor completed the trial before him 115.

Thousand-Mile Fragrance

Xiang Longyin used a specialized tracking method to pursue Chen Yu after the Three-Leaf Treasure Lotus was taken.

• Secretly applied the colorless, odorless Thousand-Mile Fragrance to the lotus before the conflict 135.
• Cultivated a corresponding technique and special sensory organ capable of detecting the fragrance over long distances 135.
• Continued tracking Chen Yu even after Chen Yu concealed his aura and stored the lotus in a Dimensional Pocket 135.

Items

• Three-Leaf Treasure Lotus — Bound to Xiang Longyin before the Star Realm conflict as bait to draw Chen Yu out. Chen Yu stole it, severed Xiang Longyin’s connection to it, and later refined it after Xiang Longyin’s death 125 134 140.
• Dragon Soldier Armor — The Beast Race inheritance Xiang Longyin expected to claim through his Dragon Blood. It was acquired by Chen Yu instead 114 115.

Relationships

• Chen Yu — Human Race rival and eventual killer. Xiang Longyin sought to use the Three-Leaf Treasure Lotus to lure and eliminate him, but Chen Yu stole the lotus, comprehended Martial Intent during their battle, and beheaded him 125 134 137.
• Fan Mubai, Ding Qing, and Zhang Yingxue — Scarlet Radiance’s leading young experts. Xiang Longyin fought all three simultaneously and withstood their combined full-power attack before being severely injured by Chen Yu’s intervention 90 93.
• Beast Race Grand Elder — Elder who endorsed Xiang Longyin as Beast Evolution Star’s greatest hope and arranged the lotus bait operation against Chen Yu 96 125.
• Heavenly Eagle — Fellow Beast Race inheritance participant. Xiang Longyin suspected him of taking the Dragon Soldier Armor, then later called on him to hold back Scarlet Radiance experts during the pursuit of Chen Yu 125 134.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Star Realm Challenge

Xiang Longyin emerged as the Beast Race’s strongest young expert and challenged Scarlet Radiance’s top geniuses. Fan Mubai, Ding Qing, and Zhang Yingxue fought him together, but could only heavily injure him; Chen Yu then exploited the opening to strike Xiang Longyin and copy his Dragon Blood talent 90 93.

Beast Race Inheritance

The battle’s aura triggered the early emergence of the Beast Race and Human Race inheritances. Certain that his Dragon Blood gave him an insurmountable advantage, Xiang Longyin entered the Azure Dragon Body Tempering trial to claim the Dragon Soldier Armor 96 114.

An unseen Chen Yu completed the trial first, took the armor, and left Xiang Longyin convinced that a Beast Race elder or competitor had sabotaged him 115 124.

Three-Leaf Treasure Lotus Hunt

The Beast Race Grand Elder used the Three-Leaf Treasure Lotus to entice Chen Yu into the Star Realm, promising it to Xiang Longyin after Chen Yu’s death. Xiang Longyin secretly bound the lotus to himself, but Chen Yu stole it and escaped using disguise techniques and a Dimensional Pocket 125 134.

Xiang Longyin tracked Chen Yu with Thousand-Mile Fragrance and forced a final confrontation. Though he initially dominated the battle, Chen Yu used the pressure to comprehend Martial Intent 135 137.

Death and False “Revival”

After Chen Yu revealed the Dragon Soldier Armor, Xiang Longyin’s full-force attack was reduced enough for Chen Yu to survive and retaliate with Blood Thunder, severing Xiang Longyin’s neck 137. Chen Yu concealed the body and all traces of the fight, leaving the Beast Race uncertain of Xiang Longyin’s fate for months 138 141.

Later, Chen Yu’s Dragon Blood and Dragon Soldier Armor caused Beast Race members to mistake him for a revived Xiang Longyin, sparking panic and internal turmoil across Beast Evolution Star 179 180.
