Luo Xiaotian

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Luo Xiaotian was born into the Black Dragon Empire’s imperial family as its third prince. One of four brothers, he was described by Luo Feng as their father’s favorite. Luo Feng regarded that favoritism as a threat to his succession and had targeted Luo Xiaotian since childhood, even when Xiaotian pretended to be a wastrel 24 27.

Disgusted by royal infighting, officials’ rivalries, and relatives turning against one another, Luo Xiaotian left the imperial palace and joined the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace. He maintained that he had no interest in becoming emperor or contesting Luo Feng’s claim 23 24.

Despite becoming the Heavenly Palace’s leading inner disciple, he initially lacked an elder willing to accept him as a disciple because of his peculiar habits. He hoped to study under Mo Tianji, but eventually became the Palace Master’s sole personal disciple instead 21 29.

Appearance

Luo Xiaotian is introduced as a portly, potbellied young man whose unremarkable appearance contrasts with his exceptional talent and heavenly status 21.

• Poor hygiene: Grease surrounds his mouth, and his foul breath initially makes Xu Xuan back away 21.
• Clothing: Wears inner-disciple robes before becoming the Palace Master’s disciple 29.
• Princely bearing: Upon entering the Black Dragon Empire, he straightens his posture and displays the commanding aura of someone accustomed to authority 22.

Personality

Luo Xiaotian is outspoken, generous, and eager for friendship. Delighted when Xu Xuan agrees to shake his hand, he immediately calls him his “one and only friend,” promises protection, and gives him a difficult Heaven-grade manual because he believes Xu Xuan can cultivate it 21.

He values freedom over political power and resents the empire’s leaders for pursuing expansion while neglecting their subjects. His concern for others repeatedly overrides his own safety: he accompanies Xu Xuan on a dangerous mission, rushes to distract bandits when he learns captive women are in immediate danger, and leaves Black Dragon Town rather than expose its residents to Luo Feng’s pursuit 22 23 24 27.

His mercy has limits. He spares Hu Lie after the attempted poisoning and leaves the defeated bandit chief alive, but continued persecution convinces him to confront Luo Feng directly. After destroying his brother’s army, he humiliates Luo Feng and prepares to kill him 24 26 28.
