Background / History

Su Long was born into a commoner family but awakened Innate Soul Power and a powerful Whale Martial Soul. While studying, he caught the attention of a headmaster's daughter; his father-in-law later supported his cultivation and helped him obtain an optimal soul-ring configuration. After witnessing the soul master world's cruelty and competition, Su Long and his wife Zhou Yun returned to his ancestral Salted Fish Village for a quieter life. 1

He and Zhou Yun became respected local sea soul masters, charging minimal fees to awaken Martial Souls for village children and allowing impoverished families to pay gradually. 1

When Su Ming awakened Kyogre, Su Long—despite being a level 67 Soul Emperor—felt sacred pressure and an instinctive urge to submit before the manifestation. He nevertheless celebrated Su Ming's Innate Full Soul Power and devoted himself to supporting his son's future. 2 3

Su Long accompanied Su Ming to Dragon City after learning of Zhou Yun's estranged Yu-clan origins. Though anxious about meeting the Heavenly Dragon Sect and concerned that its land-based members might look down on sea soul masters, he prepared oceanic treasures as gifts to show sincerity. 4 5

After the Heavenly Dragon Sect committed to educating and nurturing Su Ming, Su Long and Zhou Yun accepted the arrangement. They later chose to return permanently to Salted Fish Village, preferring their coastal home to the sect's status and comfort. 9 20

Appearance

During Whale Martial Soul possession, Su Long takes on a restrained beast-soul-master form intended not to frighten children. 1

• His body grows taller and develops scales across the skin. 1
• He can deliberately limit the transformation's visible changes. 1
• His soul rings comprise two yellow, two purple, and two black rings. 1

Personality

Su Long is gentle, patient, and notably free of the arrogance often associated with powerful soul masters. He reassures frightened children during awakenings and treats the work as a community service rather than a source of profit. 1

Formerly ambitious, he ultimately chose a peaceful life after confronting the soul master world's brutality. He remains protective and occasionally anxious as a father, but respects Su Ming's choices and supports ambitions far beyond his own quiet retirement. 1 2
