Background / History
More than twenty years before recounting her past to Su Ling, Liu Erlong met Flender and Yu Xiaogang in a Soul Beast forest. The three became the Golden Iron Triangle, with Liu Erlong serving as its Horn of Slaughter. Her mother had been a woman of the brothel, and Liu Erlong joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan later in life 31 41 43 157.
She founded Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City, accepted commoner Soul Masters, and personally taught its advanced class. The clan’s support helped her establish the academy on a large plot of land within the city 30 38 157.
Her longstanding attachment to Yu Xiaogang ended after he confessed that he had treated her as a replacement for Bibi Dong. Their blood relationship had also contributed to their separation. Liu Erlong returned his old gifts and explicitly severed all ties with him 40.
Appearance
- Before rejuvenation: In her early forties but looks approximately thirty, with fair skin and a mature appearance 30 31 46.
- After the Dragonflame Flower: Looks about twenty, with more supple skin and renewed youthful vitality. The transformation changes her appearance and physical condition, not her chronological age 46 106.
- Clothing: Usually wears plain clothes; after rejuvenation, deliberately chooses a red outfit resembling styles she wore when younger 46.
- Dragon form: During the Dragonflame Flower transformation, appears as a Fire Dragon more than twenty meters long 46.
Personality
Liu Erlong is stern with students and quick to act against misconduct. She orders Jiang Zhu, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling back to cultivation when they interrupt her test of Su Ling, and punches Ma Hongjun away when he approaches her party with flirtatious intentions 31 36.
She values talent backed by effort. Su Ling’s determination to train while traveling earns her approval, and she arranges heavier training equipment for both him and her students. Her own cultivation is equally disciplined: during stays at the Lake of Life and the Breaking Clan, she spends most of her time cultivating indoors 33 36 121.
Her affection is intense, but she refuses relationships she does not want. She firmly rejects Flender’s romantic advances and cuts off Yu Xiaogang after learning the truth about his feelings. When accepting Su Ling, she insists that he never seduce and abandon women 40 44 45.
She prefers beautiful, quiet surroundings to city noise and lives in Shrek Academy’s undeveloped Back Hill. Despite joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan later in life, she feels enough belonging to remain behind and defend it against Spirit Hall 109 156 157.
Abilities & Skills
Fire Dragon King
Her original Fire Dragon is a true dragon martial soul mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul. The Dragonflame Flower evolves it into Fire Dragon King, placing it among the strongest top-tier martial souls 31 46 150.
- Martial Soul Possession: Enhances her physical combat abilities; its true-dragon nature suppresses Tuoba Xuan’s sub-dragon martial soul 143.
- Dragon Flame Burns the Sky: Eighth soul skill. Engulfs the Clear Sky Sect’s Seventh Elder and his Martial Soul Avatar in flames, ultimately killing him 112.
- Dragon King’s Fury: A hundred-thousand-year skill from her ninth ring. Creates an enormous Fire Dragon that overwhelms the counterattacks of level 95 and level 93 Titled Douluos, severely injuring both 165.
- Combat strength beyond her rank: At level 83, her evolved martial soul and soul bones give her Titled Douluo-level combat strength. Flender and Zhao Wuji are no longer her equals in sparring after all three become Soul Douluos 109 111.
Blazing Flame Heaven-Burning Furnace
Her second martial soul is a fire-attribute tool martial soul: a round, three-legged, crimson-gold furnace engraved with flame totems 150.

- Reports approximately 50% faster cultivation at the seventh layer 43.
- Reports an increase of over 30% in the strength of her fire-attributed soul power 43.
Eight Desolations Fist
A martial technique taught by Su Ling that remains usable in Slaughter City despite its restrictions on soul skills 139 143.
- Fourth punch: Provides a 120% increase in punching power; shatters Tuoba Xuan’s soul bone-generated dragon claw 143.
- Sixth punch: Kills an Enforcement Team Soul Douluo with a single blow 151.
- Eighth punch: Mastered by the time of Spirit Hall’s assault; destroys the charging Purple-Eyed Savage Bull Martial Soul Avatar of a level 95 Titled Douluo 165.
Movement Techniques
- Carefree Journey Cloud Steps: Reaches minor mastery before entering Slaughter City 139.
- Uses Su Ling’s movement technique to close on an Enforcement Team opponent almost instantly 151.
- A movement technique called Carefree Agility lets her evade both wounded Spirit Hall Titled Douluos’ attacks during the clan defense 165.
Divine Slaughter’s Domain
A deathly white domain displayed during Spirit Hall’s attack on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan 165.
- Restricts the two attacking Titled Douluos while she unleashes Dragon King’s Fury 165.
- Recognized by the attackers as the same domain possessed by Bibi Dong 165.
Goddess-Binding Effects
Su Ling’s system grants effects tied to Liu Erlong’s affection. The cultivation gains he receives do not reduce her own cultivation speed 41 46 83.
| Effect | Affection 74 | Affection 96 | Affection 100 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Su Ling’s share of her daily cultivation gains | 20% 41 | 50% 46 | 100% 83 |
| Advice Listening | Once daily; 40% chance she follows his advice 41 | Once daily; 80% chance 46 | Once daily; 100% chance 83 |
| Protection | Combat strength increases by 100% when Su Ling is endangered and she is nearby 41 | Increase rises to 200% 46 | Increase rises to 300% 83 |
| Emergency Teleportation | Not listed 41 | Can bring her to Su Ling when he is endangered, within 2,000 meters 46 | Range expands to 10,000 meters 83 |
| Fusion | Not listed 41 | Can merge into Su Ling for a martial soul fusion skill; stacks with other goddesses 46 | Retained 83 |
- Protection in battle: At level 95, the boost allows her to fight the King of Slaughter head-on while protecting Su Ling 151.
- Fusion preference: Although she uses Fusion, she finds fighting independently more satisfying 111.
