Yu Tianlong

Power Progression

Background / History

Yu Tianlong awakened Innate Full Soul Power alongside the mutated Dark Sacred Dragon Martial Soul at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect’s awakening ceremony. He was subsequently recognized as an exceptional genius of the clan. 31 52

As a transmigrator, he initially believed himself uniquely positioned to seize opportunities from the world’s future. His meeting with Long Aotian and Dugu Jue at Dugu Bo’s residence forced him to recognize that other transmigrators were competing for the same treasures, including the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. 32

Facing Spirit Hall’s growing threat, he cooperated with Long Aotian to obtain Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes. Negotiations with Dugu Bo and Dugu Jue secured him the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, while the two allied sects agreed to supply Dugu Jue with Soul Bones and Whale Rubber. He subsequently persuaded Yu Yuanzhen to accompany him toward Holy Soul Village to retrieve the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, only to encounter rival groups pursuing the same treasure. 31

He entered Shrek Academy as a four-ring Soul Ancestor, but his conduct toward Zhu Qing, Tang Weiwei, Yu Xiaogang, and the other students ultimately led Flender to expel him. 47 83 85

After his expulsion, Yu Tianlong and the sect’s Eighth Elder were murdered on their journey home. The killer was not identified in the account of their deaths. Luo Net manipulated public opinion to implicate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect, turning his death into a source of conflict among the Upper Three Sects. 86

Appearance

Yu Tianlong is described as wickedly handsome, with a face suited to a protagonist. In black prison-style clothing, he resembles a young nobleman from a demon realm. 32

• Usually wears black clothing. 32
• Possesses a strikingly aristocratic and villainous appearance. 32
• During Martial Soul Possession, manifests black dragon claws and a black dragon avatar over ten meters long. 83

Personality

Yu Tianlong is proud of his lineage, talent, cultivation, and status as a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect genius. He frequently assumes that his strength entitles him to obedience, admiration, or romantic success, particularly in his treatment of Zhu Qing and Xiao Wu. 49 63 70 83

He often presents self-interested motives as righteous action. When Xiao Wu was taken by the Titan Giant Ape, he publicly called her his companion and demanded to pursue her, but privately hoped to acquire her as a future hundred-thousand-year soul ring. 65 70

Despite his arrogance, Yu Tianlong is sharply aware of sect politics and considers Yu Xiaogang’s actions a danger to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. His hostility toward Xiaogang is rooted in both family resentment and his belief that Xiaogang squandered clan resources while endangering the clan through his ties to Spirit Hall and Tang Hao’s family. 84 85

His alliances with fellow transmigrators are pragmatic rather than loyal. He privately intends to kill Long Aotian and Dugu Jue once he becomes strong enough, and regards transmigrators with systems or other Cheats as particularly dangerous opponents. He is similarly willing to eliminate Chang Gong Miao and Tang Weiwei if an opportunity arises. 48

He is prone to interpreting incomplete information as proof of his own success. During the Star Dou expedition, he wrongly assumes that Yu Yuanzhen has captured Xiao Wu, taken Tang San’s Eight Spider Spear, and killed Chang Gong Miao, imagining himself the expedition’s greatest beneficiary despite having done nothing to secure those prizes. 70 72

His ambition at Shrek includes replacing Tang San as the students’ leader. When the remaining students unite against him to protect Tang Weiwei, he treats their opposition as an intolerable rejection of his superiority. 83

Abilities & Skills

Dark Sacred Dragon

Yu Tianlong’s mutated dragon Martial Soul grants him overwhelming offensive power among his peers.

• Completes Dark Sacred Dragon Possession, transforming his arms into black dragon claws. 83
• Manifests a large black dragon behind him while releasing his four Soul Rings. 83
• His Martial Soul is considered powerful enough for Tang Hao to identify him as an exceptional future pillar of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. 52

Silent Darkness Domain

His innate domain creates a dark space in which light and sound cannot travel.

• Restricts opponents who lack domain abilities. 51
• Helped suppress Zhao Wuji during Shrek Academy’s admission combat assessment. 51
• Had not yet evolved beyond its basic dark-and-silent spatial effect at that time. 51

Over-Limit Soul Ring Absorption

Yu Tianlong absorbed a Thousand-Year Soul Ring as his second ring, far beyond the conventional limit.

• Publicly claims that a Soul Bone strengthened his physique enough to endure the ring. 72
• Ning Rongrong recognizes that he is concealing the role of Whale Rubber, a secret resource of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 72
• His ability to surpass normal Soul Ring limits is one of the reasons Tang Hao regards him as a major prodigy. 52
• His fourth Soul Ring is described as approaching ten-thousand-year age, although it remains purple. 72
• He introduced the benefits of Whale Rubber to his sect after awakening his Martial Soul. Its later availability could strengthen older relatives such as Yu Tianheng, but could not retroactively improve Soul Rings they had already absorbed. 104

Cultivation Resources

• Received the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone through negotiations at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes. 31
• Kept the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone in his Storage Soul Tool until Zhu Qing and Ning Rongrong stole it. 79 80
• Returned to Shrek carrying several pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber and more than a dozen pieces of Millennium Whale Rubber. 83
• His plans to acquire Xiao Wu and Tang San’s Eight Spider Spear did not succeed; his belief that those treasures had been secured for him was mistaken. 72 82 83

Relationships

• Yu Yuanzhen — Grandfather and the Thunder Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect; Yu Tianlong expects him to secure Xiao Wu for his future seventh Soul Ring. After Tianlong’s murder, Yu Yuanzhen attacks Gu Rong, confronts Shrek, and attempts to kill Tang Weiwei in retaliation. 70 86
• Yu Luomian — Second granduncle and earlier protector. Their relationship deteriorates when Yu Luomian prevents Tianlong from pursuing Xiao Wu and refuses his request to secretly kill Tang San and Chang Gong Miao. Unknown to Tianlong, Yu Luomian has already submitted to Xuan Jian and agreed to kill Yu Yuanzhen’s branch, requesting that he personally kill Tianlong and recover his Immortal Herb. 56 65
• Yu Xiaogang — Second uncle. Yu Tianlong despises him as a burden and threat to the clan, publicly beats him, exposes his alleged failures, and cripples him. Xiaogang later confirms that the injury left him castrated and regards Tianlong’s death as removing a threat to Tang San’s dominance at Shrek. Yu Yuanzhen subsequently accuses Xiaogang of conspiring with outsiders to murder Tianlong and expels him from the clan. 84 85 104
• Yu Tianheng — Older brother, whose cultivation developed in Yu Tianlong’s shadow. The benefits of Whale Rubber became known after Tianheng had already obtained his second Soul Ring and possibly his third. 104
• Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect’s Eighth Elder — Soul Douluo protector who shields Yu Tianlong during his confrontation with Shrek. The two leave the academy together and are murdered on their return journey. 84 86
• Zhu Qing — Object of Yu Tianlong’s unwanted pursuit. She rejects him, helps drug him, and leaves with Ning Rongrong after taking his Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. 63 79 83
• Ning Rongrong — Adversary who exploits his attraction to Zhu Qing to drug him and steal from his Storage Soul Tool. 79
• Xiao Wu — Calls her his companion in public, but privately intends to keep her as a future hundred-thousand-year soul ring. 65 70
• Long Aotian — Fellow transmigrator, rival, and temporary ally in obtaining Immortal Herbs. Yu Tianlong mocks his failed control over Ning Rongrong and privately intends to eliminate him once sufficiently powerful. 31 48 49
• Dugu Jue — Fellow transmigrator and temporary negotiating partner. Their agreement includes resources and restrictions on romantic pursuits, but Yu Tianlong privately regards him as a future target rather than a lasting ally. 31 35 48
• Chang Gong Miao — Fellow transmigrator and rival. Both seek Tang San’s Eight Spider Spear External Soul Bone and compete for Zhu Qing’s attention. 63 64
• Tang Weiwei — Open antagonist who mocks his entitlement and celebrates his humiliation after Zhu Qing’s escape. Yu Tianlong’s disclosures about her grandfather’s pursuit of Xiao Wu cause Tang San to sever their relationship. After Tianlong’s death, her earlier clash with him makes her a target of Yu Yuanzhen’s revenge. 83 84 86
• Tang San — A peer rival whom Yu Tianlong significantly outperforms during Shrek’s assessment; later, he reveals the Clear Sky Sect’s pursuit of Xiao Wu to him. 51 84
• Tang Hao — Powerful adversary whose intimidation humiliates Yu Tianlong. Tianlong outwardly obeys his demand for silence but privately vows to kill him after reaching Titled Douluo rank; he later openly challenges Tang Hao by invoking the strength of his sect. 71 84
• Flender — Shrek’s dean, who expels him after his attack on Yu Xiaogang. Yu Tianlong responds by condemning the academy’s treatment of talented students before leaving. 85 86

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy Admission

During the admission assessment against Zhao Wuji, Yu Tianlong is the strongest combatant among the applicants. His Dark Sacred Dragon and Silent Darkness Domain give him a decisive advantage over Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Qing, while his rivalry with Chang Gong Miao weakens the group’s coordination. 51

His registration establishes him as a level-45 Soul Ancestor at twelve, astonishing Li Yusong and the other applicants. Tang San is particularly shaken by the gap between their achievements. 47

Star Dou Great Forest

When the Titan Giant Ape carries Xiao Wu away, Yu Tianlong attempts to pursue her with a Flying Mushroom Sausage. Zhao Wuji refuses because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would hold him responsible if Tianlong were harmed. 65

After being stopped, Tianlong asks Yu Luomian to arrange the deaths of Tang San and Chang Gong Miao and disguise them as soul-beast casualties. Yu Luomian refuses, citing the political danger posed by Tang Hao and the Star Luo imperial family. 65

Hearing thunder from the direction of the pursuit, Tianlong assumes that Yu Yuanzhen is fighting the Titan Giant Ape and capturing Xiao Wu for him. Tang San’s return with a grievously injured back reinforces his mistaken belief that his grandfather has also secured the Eight Spider Spear. 70 72

He subsequently remains with the group through ten days of unsuccessful searching for Xiao Wu, during which Tang Hao secretly forces the others to accompany Tang San as protection. 76

Zhu Qing’s Escape

Yu Tianlong mistakes Zhu Qing’s staged interest for genuine affection. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Qing exploit this belief to make him drink a knockout drug, steal the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone from his Storage Soul Tool, and leave Shrek Academy. 79 80

During his intervening visit to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, he learns that Yu Yuanzhen never sent anyone to the Star Dou Great Forest. He realizes that his assumptions about securing Xiao Wu and the Eight Spider Spear were false and suspects the attacker responsible for Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun’s castration of involvement with Spirit Hall. When pressured to surrender his remaining Immortal Herb, he claims that Zhu Qing is his girlfriend and that he has already given it to her. 82

He returns to Shrek expecting to reunite with Zhu Qing, only to discover that she and Ning Rongrong have fled and emptied the container holding his Whale Rubber. The betrayal leaves him humiliated and enraged. 83

Conflict with Shrek and Yu Xiaogang

Yu Tianlong attacks Yu Xiaogang when the latter attempts to stop his confrontation with the Shrek students. Protected by a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Soul Douluo, he then exposes the Clear Sky Sect’s losses and Tang Lie’s attempt to capture Xiao Wu. 84

He later denounces Yu Xiaogang’s “Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul,” arguing that the principal danger of high-year Soul Rings is Soul Shock, not simply excessive energy. He severely beats and cripples Yu Xiaogang before Flender expels him from Shrek Academy. 85

Before departing, Tianlong accuses Shrek of ruining gifted students, citing its low graduation rate, the injuries suffered by Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San, the disappearance of Xiao Wu and Chang Gong Miao, and Zhu Qing and Ning Rongrong’s theft. He also mocks Tang Weiwei’s pursuit of Tang San and Oscar’s shifting loyalties, then leaves with the sect’s Eighth Elder. 86

Death and Political Aftermath

Yu Tianlong and the Eighth Elder are killed on their way back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Spirit Hall denies responsibility, arguing that it would have no reason to conceal the killing of a Soul Ancestor and an ordinary Soul Douluo after openly killing powerful Clear Sky Sect elders. The actual murderer remains unidentified. 86

Luo Net directs public suspicion toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect. Gu Rong’s reputation for assassinating rival talents makes him a suspect, while rumors portray the Clear Sky Sect as retaliating against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect for allegedly exposing its elders to Spirit Hall’s ambush. 86

Yu Yuanzhen attacks Gu Rong before obtaining evidence that the latter was elsewhere when Tianlong died. He then turns his suspicions toward the Clear Sky Sect and questions Shrek’s members. After learning that Tang Weiwei had clashed with Tianlong, he attempts to kill her, prompting Tang Hao to intervene. Their battle prevents him from reaching her, but Flender is left gravely injured. Yu Yuanzhen also formally expels Yu Xiaogang from the clan and strips him of the original Yu surname. 86

The death further damages Shrek’s reputation and deepens distrust among the Upper Three Sects. Later attempts to discuss an alliance against Spirit Hall are hindered by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect’s continuing suspicions over Tianlong’s murder and the Clear Sky Sect’s suspicions over its elders’ deaths. 86 120
