Biodata

Appearance

Personality

Yu Tianheng is proud, competitive, and strongly conscious of his lineage as a direct heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. As Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's recognized leading genius, he expects his strength and status to command respect. 24

His composure deteriorates sharply when Dugu Yan rejects his familiarity and openly favors Lin Ming. Humiliation and jealousy drive him to challenge Lin Ming recklessly, unleashing multiple soul skills immediately rather than fighting with restraint. 24 25

After being defeated in one strike, he remains fixated on recovering his honor. He joins the academy's practical training team and warns Lin Ming that he intends to prove the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan cannot be trampled. 26 39
