Background and History
Luofan’s grandfather was a level 88 Soul Douluo who served the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; his grandmother was a direct descendant of the sect. After his grandfather’s death, six-year-old Luofan awakened a defective Martial Soul with no innate Soul Power. Sect Master Ning Fengzhi offered him menial work and asked him to keep his distance from Ning Rongrong. Luofan left rather than accept that position 1 5.
Soon afterward, the Three-Choice Golden Entry System bound itself to him. His first choice, Peerless Prodigy, transformed both his prospects and his Martial Soul. He declined to return to the sect and instead accepted shelter from Xue Qinghe, the Heaven Dou crown prince, whom Luofan identified as Qian Renxue in disguise. Xue Qinghe helped him obtain his first Soul Ring and gave him a home and private instruction 1 2 3 4.
Luofan later proposed the Heaven Dou Daily to counter rumors damaging Xue Qinghe’s reputation. The paper grew through inexpensive sales, serialized fiction—including Luofan’s Dream of the Red Chamber—and advertising. In thanks, Xue Qinghe gave him a rare Head Soul Bone 7 8 9 16.
During his second Soul Ring expedition, Luofan reunited with Rongrong amid a Spirit Hall attack on her sect. He used Shield to save her from a stray attack by Sword Douluo Chen Xin. She subsequently believed Spirit Hall had captured him, though Snake Lance Douluo brought him safely back to Heaven Dou City 11 12 13 14.
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
After obtaining his third ring and Immortal Body, Luofan studied Yue Guan’s handbook of medicinal plants. He waited until Dugu Bo attended Prince Xue Xing’s birthday banquet, then entered the poisonous miasma surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. His inability to die allowed him to endure the poison long enough to reach the well, where a medicinal leaf removed most of the poisoning 21 23.
At the well, Luofan consumed Mystic Bone Glazed Grass to enhance his Head Soul Bone, ate other suitable plants, and harvested valuable herbs while generally preserving their roots for regrowth. He used Aromatic Silk Beauty to pass back through the poison without repeating the pain of his initial entry 24.
His subsequent consumption of Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass strengthened his body and added ice and fire attributes to his pagoda. He also gave Qian Renxue the Radiant Light-Concentrating Grass, which purified and strengthened her holy and light attributes and helped raise her Soul Power from level 57 to the level 60 threshold 25 37.
Reunion with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
When Ning Fengzhi visited the Crown Prince’s Residence, Luofan chose to meet the sect’s representatives rather than remain hidden. Rongrong greeted him enthusiastically and recalled the stories he had told her. Luofan defended Xue Qinghe by explaining that he himself had requested secrecy about his whereabouts 29.
Luofan explicitly refused to return to the sect and asked Ning Fengzhi to respect his decision. Ning Fengzhi apologized but then ordered Chen Xin to take him back, prompting Luofan to summon his Two Forms Exquisite Pagoda and three black ten-thousand-year rings in resistance 29.
The encounter strengthened Luofan and Xue Qinghe’s mutual confidence, removing some of Xue Qinghe’s anxiety that Luofan might return to his former sect. Their increasing closeness was apparent to Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo 33.
Bibi Dong and Yue Guan
Bibi Dong visited the residence to investigate how Luofan had transformed his defective Martial Soul, hoping to obtain a method that could help Yu Xiaogang. She interrupted Luofan and the disguised Qian Renxue while they were tussling over pastries, then revealed in front of Luofan that she was Qian Renxue’s mother and that Qian Renxue was Spirit Hall’s Young Master 33 34.
Yue Guan later approached Luofan on Bibi Dong’s orders. Their shared interest in immortal herbs quickly earned Luofan his goodwill, especially after Yue Guan learned that Luofan had given a suitable herb to Qian Renxue. Luofan offered to help him find a mature Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum 37.
During the ensuing confrontation over Bibi Dong’s attempt to have him taken from the residence, Luofan’s Overpowering Aura helped counter her overwhelming strength. Yue Guan appreciated that Luofan also helped provide him with an explanation he could give Bibi Dong 38 39.
Qian Renxue subsequently assigned Yue Guan to protect Luofan and held him responsible for preventing further attacks or abduction attempts. Luofan allowed Yue Guan and Bibi Dong to retain their mistaken belief that an immortal-grade Aromatic Silk Beauty had caused his original Martial Soul evolution, rather than reveal the system 42.
Fourth Ring and Nuoding City
After reaching level 40, Luofan traveled with Yue Guan to the Star Dou Great Forest and obtained a spatial Devourer Beast’s ring. Its skill, Absorption, supplied a powerful imprisonment ability and extensive storage space within his pagoda 44 45 46.
He then persuaded Yue Guan to detour to Nuoding City, where he sought Tang San’s martial arts to improve his close-combat options. Luofan traded Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma for Mysterious Heaven Skill and its associated martial arts, without acquiring the hidden-weapon crafting material. The herb also improved Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul 48 49 51.
After leaving the city, they encountered Tang Hao. Luofan used Overpowering Aura to give Yue Guan the advantage, then employed Quickstep to remain beyond Tang Hao’s reach when Tang Hao targeted him. After roughly ten minutes of pursuit, Tang Hao abandoned the attempt and departed 52 53.
Great Soul Arena and Literary Fame
Luofan entered wagered duels at Heaven Dou City’s Great Soul Arena to improve Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track through practical combat. He deliberately provoked spectators and offered 10,000 Gold Soul Coins to anyone who defeated him, imposing no Soul Power restriction. He publicly identified himself as Xue Qinghe’s subordinate, both to establish that he could pay and to enhance the crown prince’s reputation 57 58.
He used challenging opponents to practice his footwork and quickly ended unhelpful matches by possessing opponents and making them concede. His unusual age, four black rings, unrestricted challenge, and connection to the crown prince attracted widespread attention and a newspaper interview 58 60.
The interview also exposed his identity as the author of Dream of the Red Chamber. Hundreds of readers gathered outside the Crown Prince’s Residence to demand that he reverse Lin Daiyu’s death. Luofan ultimately retained the novel’s tragic ending by promising a new romance with a happy ending 60 61.
His arena victories included opponents at the Soul King and Soul Emperor ranks. He subsequently defeated the level 76 Flender by imprisoning him inside his pagoda, establishing that his combat strength exceeded the expectations attached to his Soul Ancestor rank 61 62 64.
Moonlight Banquet
Xue Qinghe brought Luofan to the Moonlight Banquet, where he displayed his four black Soul Rings before Emperor Xue Ye and the assembled court. Xue Ye praised him as the world’s greatest genius 69.
At Ge Long’s request, Luofan demonstrated his strength against the Seven-Ring Soul Saint Ge Hu. He combined his movement skills, aura, defensive abilities, and pagoda attacks before using Absorption to end the match. His victory further impressed Xue Ye and caused Qian Renxue to question whether she could defeat him herself 69 70 71.
After learning that Luofan would turn ten in just over a month, Xue Ye proposed a betrothal to Princess Xue Ke, with marriage after both reached eighteen. Xue Qinghe immediately objected before Luofan answered 71.
Family Graves and Fifth Ring
Luofan later returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to tend his parents’ and grandparents’ graves, not to rejoin the sect. He remained distant from Ning Fengzhi despite the warm reception and privately expressed the hope that he might someday reunite with his family in the Divine Realm 76.
Ning Fengzhi sent Chen Xin after the departing Luofan with a 50,000-year torso Soul Bone. Luofan initially refused to be bought back with a gift, but accepted after Chen Xin explained that the bone had belonged to his grandfather and was his rightful inheritance. Its absorption strengthened his body and granted a passive enhancement to beneficial effects 77.
After reaching level 50 in Suotuo City, Luofan obtained a 40,000-year fifth ring with Yue Guan’s protection and advanced to level 52. He then demonstrated a skill that drains Soul Power from people imprisoned inside his pagoda to amplify his own Soul Power 77 80 81.
Awakening the Azure Dragon
Following his sixth Golden Entry selection, Luofan awakened the Azure Dragon, giving him twin Martial Souls. He regarded the combination of a Tool Martial Soul and a top-tier Beast Martial Soul as a valuable expansion of his abilities 83.
Yue Guan advised him to follow Bibi Dong’s example and wait until the Titled Douluo rank before adding rings to his second Martial Soul. Luofan instead wanted to begin immediately so its rings could benefit from Soul Ring Growth sooner. After appearing to accept Yue Guan’s advice, he left a letter at their Suotuo City hotel and slipped away alone toward the Star Dou Great Forest 84.
Appearance
Luofan is a child of six at the start of the story and is still described as six or seven when he obtains his second ring 1 13.
- His original Clay Pagoda Martial Soul was a cracked, three-tiered tower resembling a failed pottery piece 2.
- His evolved Golden Exquisite Pagoda has nine tiers, shines gold, and bears a lotus design at its base 2.
- After consuming the ice and fire immortal herbs, the golden pagoda develops crimson and azure patterns 25.
- He is over eight when he reaches level 40 and nine when he reaches level 46; observers commonly describe him as looking around ten during his arena appearances 44 54 57.
- His Azure Dragon Martial Soul manifests as an imposing dragon-shaped presence even before acquiring any rings 83.
Personality
Luofan prizes independence and reciprocates kindness. He refuses to return to the sect after its rejection, but remains warm toward Rongrong and risks himself to protect her. Xue Qinghe’s sustained support earns his gratitude and loyalty 2 9 11 12.
He is ambitious and deliberate about long-term gains: he chooses growing Soul Rings over instant level 99 power, seeks rings with suitable attributes rather than simply the greatest age, and trains beyond his tutor’s recommended hours. He also keeps the system itself secret, even while allowing Xue Qinghe to observe its effects 4 5 6 10.
His later refusal to rejoin the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a matter of personal boundaries rather than lack of attachment to everyone there. He continues to welcome Rongrong and honors his family’s graves, but considers Ning Fengzhi’s earlier treatment a breach that cannot simply be erased by later hospitality or valuable gifts 29 76 77.
Luofan is willing to adopt a provocative public persona for practical purposes. His arrogance at the Great Soul Arena is deliberate: he wants stronger challengers to help train his footwork and intends his growing fame to benefit Xue Qinghe. Yue Guan recognizes that this behavior differs from Luofan’s usual disposition 57 58.
Despite his enthusiasm for rule-based abilities, Luofan repeatedly prioritizes Soul Power cultivation over collecting skills indiscriminately. He considers additional rings and Golden Entries the foundation of his development, learning supplementary techniques when they address real weaknesses without unduly delaying that progress 44 45 48.
His independence can also make him disregard protective advice. After Yue Guan urges him to postpone adding rings to the Azure Dragon, Luofan conceals his departure and heads for the forest alone 84.
Abilities and Skills
Three-Choice Golden Entry System
The system grants Luofan a choice of one of three Golden Entries after Martial Soul Awakening and after each new Soul Ring 1.
- Peerless Prodigy: Gives him exceptional talent; its selection evolved his Martial Soul and granted innate full Soul Power 2.
- Soul Ring Growth: Increases the age of each of his Soul Rings by one year per hour. Luofan observes that the growth also feeds a gradual increase in his Soul Power 4 5 9 11.
- Rule Addition: Adds a matching rule-based effect to his Soul Skills. Luofan later discovers that it also affects a skill granted by his Head Soul Bone 10 11 24.
- Immortal Body: Prevents his death, but does not prevent pain. He uses it to survive the poisonous miasma around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well 21 23 24.
- Self-created skill enhancement: Rule Addition also applies to learned self-created Soul Skills once he attains a sufficient grasp of them, as confirmed with Quickstep and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track 43 44 65.
- Second Martial Soul: His sixth Golden Entry selection results in the awakening of the Azure Dragon 83 84.
Luofan also demonstrates accelerated regeneration, recovering from arena injuries within a few breaths. This allows him to continue high-pressure practical training despite taking damage 60.
Martial Souls and Cultivation
His original Golden Exquisite Pagoda is a beneficial mutation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, changing from a support-type Martial Soul into a power-attack-type Tool Martial Soul. The Rock Mystic Tortoise and Xuanwu Beast rings improve its toughness, while the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear contributes offensive qualities 2 10 45.
- Two Forms Exquisite Pagoda: The later form gains ice and fire attributes from Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. Those herbs also strengthen Luofan’s physique beyond what his ring ages alone would suggest 25 37 45.
- Azure Dragon: A top-tier Beast Martial Soul awakened after his fifth pagoda ring. It initially has no rings 83 84.
- Mental cultivation: His enhanced Wisdom Skull improves perception, Soul Power control, and meditation efficiency. Its mental strength also helps him resist the lingering soul assaults associated with ten-thousand-year rings 9 24 27 45 80.
- Mysterious Heaven Skill: An internal cultivation method acquired from Tang San in exchange for Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma. Luofan values it more highly than the accompanying martial arts and incorporates it into his cultivation 51 54.
Suppression
His first Soul Skill enlarges the pagoda and brings it down as a blunt-force attack, then forcibly suppresses its target 3.
- Targets below Luofan’s level can be suppressed for ten seconds; the duration decreases by half a second for each level a stronger target has over him 3.
- Rule Addition causes half the pagoda attack’s damage to ignore defense 11.
- As the ring ages, the manifested pagoda grows larger and its attack power increases 6.
- Luofan uses the attack to finish the spatial Devourer Beast that supplies his fourth ring and later to strike Ge Hu despite his defensive abilities 45 71.
Shield
His second Soul Skill forms a pagoda-shaped barrier around himself or another target 10 11.
- Its added rule completely nullifies the first attack to hit the shield; a weak opening blow can therefore waste that protection 11.
- Luofan uses it to stop a stray sword from level 96 Titled Douluo Chen Xin before it reaches Rongrong, and later to protect Porcupinefish Douluo from a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear 13 20.
Overpowering Aura
His third Soul Skill applies fixed damage effects to designated allies and enemies within an area, regardless of their levels 20 22.
- Designated allies deal double damage; designated enemies deal half damage 20.
- The aura lasts 180 seconds. Its radius exceeds thirty meters and can expand as Luofan’s Soul Power rises 20 22.
- Its allocation depends on whom Luofan regards as an ally or enemy. The combined enhancement and weakening can overturn substantial differences in destructive power 39.
- He uses it to influence battles involving Bibi Dong and to let Yue Guan overpower Tang Hao 39 52.
- After acquiring his torso Soul Bone, its personal damage enhancement becomes quadruple damage for Luofan; the torso bone does not similarly enhance other recipients 77 81.
Absorption
His fourth Soul Skill, obtained from a spatial Devourer Beast, draws targets into an internal space within the Exquisite Pagoda 45 46 64.
- It can imprison a target for 1,800 seconds, regardless of level, including a Titled Douluo 46 47.
- The imprisonment itself has no offensive effect 46.
- Objects can be stored without a time limit. Capacity scales at ten cubic meters per Soul Power level, giving him 430 cubic meters at level 43 46.
- Luofan uses it to defeat Flender and Ge Hu despite their Soul Saint ranks 64 71.
- It provides the imprisoned targets required for his fifth Soul Skill. Yue Guan notes that an ability specifically countering the imprisonment could interfere with this combination 80 81.
Fifth Soul Skill: Soul Power Amplification
His fifth Soul Skill drains Soul Power from Soul Masters imprisoned inside the pagoda and uses it as an amplification source 80 81.
- The stated increase is 200% Soul Power; its duration depends on the Soul Power available from the imprisoned target 81.
- His torso Soul Bone doubles the increase when applied to himself, producing a 400% increase, or five times his original Soul Power 81.
- When demonstrated using Yue Guan as the imprisoned source, the amplified Soul Power fluctuations reach the Soul Emperor range despite Luofan’s level 52 cultivation 81.
- He considers combining it with his personally enhanced Overpowering Aura and defense-bypassing attacks, though his speculation about injuring high-level opponents is not itself a demonstrated victory 81.
Wisdom Skull Skill
After Luofan enhances his Head Soul Bone, he can project his consciousness outside his body and seize control of another person 24.
- Possession lasts 30 seconds against an equal-level target, changing by one second for each level of difference 24.
- His own body is left exposed while his consciousness is away 24.
- His Immortal Body protects against death while his body is unattended, mitigating this vulnerability without eliminating the exposure 24.
- He uses possession in contract duels to make opponents surrender when fighting them would not help his footwork training 58.
- The ability cannot control Flender during their match because of their thirty-level difference 62.
Quickstep
Luofan learns this self-created movement skill from Ning Rongrong, with Yue Guan answering technical questions that Rongrong cannot resolve 43.
- His initial successful use raises his movement speed by approximately 20% 43.
- Its added rule allows him to lock onto a target and move 10% faster than that target 48 70.
- He keeps slightly ahead of Yue Guan during their journey to Nuoding City and later evades Tang Hao through a prolonged chase 48 53.
- His torso Soul Bone can further enhance Quickstep’s beneficial effect on him 77.
Purple Demon Eye
One of the martial arts acquired from Tang San, Purple Demon Eye is cultivated by drawing on the eastern purple qi at sunrise. Luofan selects it first because of his exceptional mental power and its limited daily training time, which minimizes interference with Soul Power cultivation 51 54.
- He attains a usable grasp after approximately half a year of practice 54 55.
- Its added rule allows attacks against an opponent’s weak points to completely ignore defense 81.
- Maintaining it together with his aura, movement techniques, and defensive skills contributes to substantial Soul Power consumption 70.
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track
A movement technique acquired from Tang San that improves short-range footwork, evasive turns, and positioning rather than merely increasing running speed 51 55.
- Luofan practices it under pressure during Great Soul Arena matches, deliberately seeking opponents who challenge his ability to evade 57 58 60.
- He gains an initial grasp by the end of his battle with Flender 64 65.
- Its rule-based effect enables instantaneous movement to a position he occupied ten seconds earlier, demonstrated by returning from his bedroom doorway to a tree trunk 65.
- It can be combined with Quickstep, though maintaining several skills simultaneously rapidly drains his Soul Power 70.
Mysterious Jade Hand
Another martial art obtained from Tang San, Mysterious Jade Hand hardens the hands and gives the skin a jade-like appearance. It is useful for handling toxins and weapons without damaging the hands, although Luofan does not acquire Tang San’s hidden-weapon material 51 74.
After approximately two months of practice, Luofan attains an initial grasp and seeks the additional rule-based ability granted through Rule Addition 74.
Darkness Shield
A skill granted by his Dark Night Protection Left Arm Bone, Darkness Shield forms a pale-purple spherical barrier around his body 68 77.
- Its rule-based benefit provides immunity to crowd control 68 71.
- Luofan values this immunity even if the barrier’s ordinary defensive strength is insufficient to endure many attacks 68.
Torso Soul Bone Enhancement
His inherited torso Soul Bone passively strengthens beneficial status effects 77.
- Its added rule doubles buff effects on Luofan himself 77.
- It raises his personal Overpowering Aura benefit from double to quadruple damage 77 81.
- It increases his fifth skill’s Soul Power bonus from 200% to 400%, giving him five times his original Soul Power while active 81.
Equipment and Items
- Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull — a Head Soul Bone gifted by Xue Qinghe at an age of 60,000 years. Mystic Bone Glazed Grass later raises its age to 129,600 years, greatly increasing Luofan’s mental power and granting his possession skill 9 24.
- Medicinal-plant handbook — a Spirit Hall text written by Yue Guan and obtained for Luofan by Xue Qinghe; it describes 108 spiritual and immortal herbs 23.
- Harvested immortal herbs — collected during Luofan’s visit to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well 24.
- Storage-type Soul Tool and jade boxes — used to carry the herbs harvested at the well before his pagoda gains its own storage function 24 46.
- Aromatic Silk Beauty — provides a protective field against poison, allowing his painless exit through the well’s surrounding miasma. He later confirms that he possesses another specimen that has not yet matured 24 42.
- Radiant Light-Concentrating Grass — an immortal herb given to Qian Renxue to enhance her holy and light attributes 25 37.
- Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma — traded for Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Skill and accompanying martial arts; used to improve Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul 49 51.
- Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record material — the cultivation method and associated martial arts obtained from Tang San; excludes the hidden-weapon section 51 74.
- Imperial rewards — Xue Ye offers him 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, a Soul Bone, and three Soul Tools 69.
- Dark Night Protection Left Arm Bone — a 20,000-year Soul Bone obtained through Xue Qinghe from Xue Ye; grants Darkness Shield and its control-immunity rule 68 77.
- Inherited torso Soul Bone — a 50,000-year bone left by his grandfather and delivered by Chen Xin. It is Luofan’s third absorbed Soul Bone and enhances his physique and beneficial status effects 77.
Relationships
- Xue Qinghe / Qian Renxue — takes Luofan in, houses and teaches him, funds his development, and becomes his trusted “Brother Xue.” Luofan knows Xue Qinghe is Qian Renxue in disguise and intends to repay her support 2 3 6 9 18. He gives her Radiant Light-Concentrating Grass, and their trust deepens after his explicit refusal to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Bibi Dong later openly reveals Qian Renxue’s identity in his presence. Qian Renxue assigns Yue Guan to protect him and immediately objects when Xue Ye proposes his betrothal to Xue Ke 25 29 33 34 42 71.
- Ning Rongrong — his close childhood friend. He remains fond of her despite leaving her sect and saves her during the Spirit Hall attack 1 11 12 13. After enrolling at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she regularly visits his courtyard, listens to his stories, and teaches him the movement skill that becomes Quickstep 43 44 54.
- Ning Fengzhi — former sect master who assigned Luofan menial work to separate him from Rongrong. Luofan resents the decision; Fengzhi later regrets it and seeks to bring him back 1 15 22. Luofan rejects both his invitation and his attempt to have Chen Xin take him back by force. He later visits the sect only to honor his family’s graves, remaining distant despite Ning Fengzhi’s efforts at reconciliation 29 76 77.
- Snake Lance Douluo (She Long) — escorts Luofan to obtain his second ring and protects him during the journey home 10 13. He also helps keep the visiting sect members from encountering Luofan until Luofan decides to confront the situation himself 27 29.
- Porcupinefish Douluo — helps Luofan obtain his third ring and defends him during its absorption; Luofan’s new skills then turn their battle against a stronger bear 18 19 20. He later searches for self-created Soul Skills that Luofan could learn 43.
- Yue Guan / Chrysanthemum Douluo — author of the herb handbook that Luofan studies. Their shared enthusiasm for rare plants develops into a close friendship, and Qian Renxue assigns Yue Guan as Luofan’s protector. He assists with the fourth and fifth rings, accompanies Luofan to Nuoding City, and benefits from Luofan’s support against Tang Hao 37 42 45 48 52 80. Luofan considers eventually giving him a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum if he fully joins his and Qian Renxue’s side, but later slips away against his advice to seek rings for the Azure Dragon 80 84.
- Bibi Dong — investigates his Martial Soul evolution in hopes of helping Yu Xiaogang and attempts to have him taken from the residence. She later plans to keep him under her control as leverage over Qian Renxue. Luofan distrusts her intentions and uses his knowledge of the original story when judging her behavior 34 38 39 64 74.
- Tang San — the original story’s protagonist, whom Luofan deliberately seeks out for useful martial arts. They complete an exchange of Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma for Mysterious Heaven Skill and its accompanying techniques 44 48 49 51.
- Yu Xiaogang — benefits from the immortal herb provided through Luofan’s deal with Tang San, improving his Martial Soul and subsequently reaching level 31 51 64.
