Background & Story Role

Ancient legends describe Lu Menge as an existence older than the Dragon God, without a divine position and beyond the God Realm’s established authority. She recounts surviving the dawn of creation, consuming ferocious beasts and eventually fighting the Dragon God until they became friends. 1 12

After Gu Yue awakens as the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian recalls Lu Menge and begins searching for her. Lu Menge responds first: she sends the Little White Tiger into the Star Dou Great Forest with a message, then personally enters Gu Yue’s Stone Palace undetected. She identifies Gu Yue as her cousin, overwhelms her elemental attack, and brings her to Eastsea Academy to experience human life. 2 4

In Eastsea City, Lu Menge maintains the public identity of a senior academy teacher and claims to be an eighty-ninth-rank attack-type Soul Master. She recognizes the Golden Dragon King bloodline within Tang Wulin, gives him a bracelet that tempers his bloodline, and begins monitoring his condition through a detection array. 3

She becomes guardian, mentor, and strategist to Tang Wulin and Gu Yue. She helps manage the Golden Dragon King seal, protects their concealed identities, and prepares their public martial-soul aliases: Golden Dragon for Tang Wulin and Rainbow Dragon for Gu Yue. 23 25

As Class Zero’s second instructor, Lu Menge specializes in perception, battlefield judgment, tactical adaptation, and exposing weaknesses that stronger teammates might conceal. Her years of training help turn the class from a group of talented children into a coordinated seven-person formation. 31 32 46

After Tang Wulin and Gu Yue reach the six-ring Soul Emperor realm, Lu Menge insists that Eastsea Academy can no longer provide the opponents or resources necessary for their growth. She guides the former Class Zero members toward Shrek Academy, negotiates to preserve their independence, and accepts a practical-combat instructor position in Shrek’s Outer Court. 71 82 83

Appearance

Lu Menge usually presents herself as a fashionable young teacher, combining a white lab coat with outfits ranging from formal skirts and high heels to understated sweaters, trousers, and ankle boots. Her relaxed posture and easy smile contrast with the pressure of her true nature. 25 11

• Amber, fox-like eyes that often narrow into crescents when she is amused or planning something. 5 18
• M-shaped lips and a black tear mole near the corner of her mouth. 3 5
• White or silver hair. 25 61
• Frequently carries a thermos, including during lessons, meals, and private conversations. 5 53
• Can manifest nine tiger tails, ranging from phantom-like projections to solid tails. 4
• Her partial beast form may include white tiger ears, a tail, and claws. 14

Personality

Lu Menge is playful, teasing, and shamelessly affectionate. She enjoys embarrassing Gu Yue, provoking Wu Changkong’s deadpan reactions, feeding students, and involving herself in Tang Wulin and Gu Yue’s romance. Her humor often masks careful observation and long-term planning. 6 18 35 40

Despite her immense age and power, she is emotionally affected by ordinary care. Wu Changkong’s concern repeatedly leaves her flustered, while Class Zero’s meals, training records, barbecues, and small acts of affection become more valuable to her than godhood, war, or the revival of the dragon race. 18 51 53 57

She is a demanding instructor rather than an indulgent one. Lu Menge identifies small tactical errors, forces students into unfavorable conditions, and makes them understand why a mistake could become fatal. Her criticism is precise because she wants them to survive and grow. 32 33 53

Abilities & Skills

Nine-Headed White Tiger Nature

Lu Menge’s true identity is the ancient Nine-Headed White Tiger, a sacred beast whose power does not conform to ordinary soul-master, soul-beast, or divine systems. 1 4

• Gu Yue’s divine consciousness cannot detect her soul power, bloodline, life signs, or departure route even while Lu Menge stands directly in front of her. 4
• Her tiger roar shatters Gu Yue’s advancing ice-element attack and resonates as though nine hearts are beating through the world’s laws. 4
• She can manifest nine tiger tails as an expression of her true power. 4
• Her spiritual presence appears as a primordial void with nine tiger tails and amber eyes when examined within her sea of consciousness. 20

Ancient Transit and Concealment

Lu Menge employs an ancient, law-like method of movement beyond conventional spatial soul-power techniques. 2

• She sends the Little White Tiger into the heavily guarded Star Dou Great Forest without alerting its defenders. 2
• The cub can return to Eastsea City without leaving spatial fluctuations or soul-power traces. 2
• Lu Menge herself enters Gu Yue’s Stone Palace through a spatial rift while remaining undetectable to divine senses. 4

Tiger / White Tiger Sacred Seal

Lu Menge uses a sacred-seal power for surveillance, spiritual intervention, and control of sealed consciousness. 3 24

• Uses the Tiger Soul Sacred Seal’s detection array to monitor Tang Wulin’s bloodline stability across Eastsea City. 3
• Creates a sealing formation that blocks internal and external detection before entering Tang Wulin’s sea of consciousness. 24
• Guides Tang Wulin and Gu Yue into the Golden Dragon King seal to confront its imprisoned consciousness. 24
• Detects Gu Yue’s protective Silver Dragon King-origin layer around Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King remnant soul. 23

Combat Analysis and Instruction

Lu Menge is an exceptional practical-combat instructor whose focus is observation, judgment, positioning, and mentality. Wu Changkong openly acknowledges that she teaches the students better than he does. 33

• Detects minute physical tells, such as Tang Wulin curling his left pinky when holding back his strength. 53
• Identifies positional flaws in Xie Xie’s footwork, dagger defense, and flanking approach. 32 33
• Uses cultivation restrictions, altered teams, terrain exercises, and randomized matchups to prevent students from relying on familiar advantages. 32 57
• Served as the seventh opponent in Class Zero’s formation training; the six students required a month and a half to force both of her feet to move. 46

Soul-Beast Knowledge

Lu Menge teaches practical soul-beast hunting as a discipline of observation and restraint rather than simple killing. 43

• Instructs Tang Wulin and Gu Yue to identify species, age, habits, combat traits, and absorption risks through tracks, wounds, soil, and other environmental evidence. 43
• Explains Soul Ring suitability, cultivation-age risks, and possible soul-bone drops. 43
• Orders Tang Wulin and Gu Yue to spare the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear after incapacitating it, then treats its injuries with Gu Yue. 43

Equipment & Items

• Thermos — Her constant personal item, used for tea, milk, and medicinal drinks; it remains present in both her teaching and domestic routines. 5 53
• Pale-gold bead bracelet — Given to Tang Wulin as an apparent health gift; secretly tempers and stabilizes his Golden Dragon King bloodline. 3
• Custom forging gloves — Handmade for Tang Wulin with heat-resistant padding containing fur shed from her Nine-Headed White Tiger tail. 42
• Silver ring — Chosen with Wu Changkong in Shrek City and worn on her ring finger. 65
• White tiger-head cufflinks — A gift from Wu Changkong, designed to match her tiger-head earrings. 60

Relationships

• Gu Yue / Gu Yuena — Her “cousin,” the Silver Dragon King. Lu Menge brings her into human society, protects her identity, indulges her affection, and acts as her romantic strategist regarding Tang Wulin. 2 4 30 35 36
• Tang Wulin — Student and ward whose Golden Dragon King bloodline Lu Menge recognizes, stabilizes, and protects. She mentors him in combat, forging-related growth, soul-beast knowledge, and his relationship with Gu Yue. 3 25 40 43
• Wu Changkong — Colleague, teaching partner, and romantic partner. Their relationship grows through mutual care, meals, shared teaching, a silver ring, and openly acknowledged importance in each other’s lives. 33 51 65 83
• Little White Tiger — Her companion, messenger, lookout, and frequent source of comic relief. Lu Menge feeds, praises, and relies on the cub in both ancient and domestic matters. 2 4 53
• Di Tian — Ancient associate whom Lu Menge claims as an obedient subordinate. His search for her begins the renewed connection between her, Gu Yue, and the soul-beast lineage. 1 19
• Class Zero — Her students and chosen family. Lu Menge trains them harshly, feeds them, rewards their growth, and ultimately considers their ordinary shared life more precious than grand ambitions. 31 46 57
