Long Aotian

Biodata

Background / History

Body Sect Prodigy

Long Aotian is the Body Sect’s acknowledged leading young fighter and Du Busi’s chosen successor. His engagement to Princess Vina also connects him to the Heaven Dou imperial family. His reputation draws enthusiastic cheers at the Earth Dragon Sect’s friendly match, including admiration from its female disciples 1 2.

He had previously been in secluded cultivation when an imperial expedition explored the Earth Dragon Sect’s dangerous mineral vein. After hearing about the expedition during the tournament, he regrets missing the opportunity and claims its supposed hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast and Soul Ring would otherwise have belonged to the Body Sect 12.

Original-Timeline Fate

Luo Feng’s knowledge of the original story identifies Long Aotian as someone destined to die young in a surprise attack by the Sun Moon Empire. This is foreknowledge, not a death depicted in the supplied chapters; Long Aotian remains alive during the tournament events shown 2 22.

Appearance

• Handsome and graceful: Luo Feng compares his bearing to a jade tree in the wind 2.
• Admired presence: His combination of looks and strength attracts attention from the Earth Dragon Sect’s senior and junior sisters 2.

Personality

Long Aotian combines confidence in his superiority with courtesy toward allied sects. Facing the much lower-level Luo Feng, he is somewhat dismissive but reassures him that their friendly match will stop short of injury. He also tells his supporters to quiet down, reminding them that the Earth Dragon Sect is an ally 2.

His unexplained defeat leaves him bewildered rather than openly hostile. He later greets Luo Feng warmly and freely admits that he still cannot understand how he was thrown out of the arena. His curiosity persists when Luo Feng reveals a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring: he secretly listens to the explanation, questions its credibility, and accepts that Vina’s historical evidence makes it plausible 7 8 12.

He is comparatively reserved in romance. When Vina looks at him affectionately, he awkwardly excuses himself rather than reciprocating as openly as Luo Feng does with Nan Qiuqiu 14.

Abilities & Skills

Soul Master Strength

• Level-60 Soul Power: He enters the friendly match with a substantial numerical advantage over level-42 Luo Feng 2.
• Exceptional reputation: He is recognized as the Body Sect’s strongest young member; the narration reports that even Huo Yuhao is said to be slightly inferior to him 1 2.
• Undemonstrated techniques: His match ends before he can display any named Martial Soul ability or Soul Skill 2.

Relationships

• Du Busi — Master and mentor, who personally selected him as successor. After examining Luo Feng’s four black Soul Rings, Du Busi declares that Long Aotian’s loss was no disgrace 2 4.
• Princess Vina — Fiancée and tournament companion. She helps assess Luo Feng’s abilities and supports the plausibility of his explanation for his red Soul Ring 1 8 12 14.
• Luo Feng — Friendly-match opponent who becomes a cordial acquaintance. Long Aotian remains interested in the secret behind his defeat and later brings him information about Yu Tianlong’s plans 2 7 8 14.
• Yu Tianlong — Fellow Heaven Dou competitor who addresses him deferentially. Long Aotian’s arrival helps defuse Yu Tianlong’s confrontation with the Earth Dragon Sect 7 10.
