Background / History
Class Five Assignments
After the dormitory conflict, Long Hengxu punished Yao Xuan by assigning him to First Grade Class Five. He exempted Tang Wulin because he had not fought and was the victim, but urged him to cultivate diligently to earn respect. He also transferred Xie Xie to Class Five for watching the fight without intervening, rejecting Xie Xie’s objection that the punishment violated academy rules 49.
The assignments served a deliberate educational strategy: placing two level-eighteen students in the weakest class would pressure the other classes to improve. Although Long Hengxu disliked Wu Zhangkong’s aloof manner, he respected his teaching ability and hoped the combination would produce exceptional results. Wu Zhangkong recognized his intentions 50 58.
Long Hengxu subsequently arranged a senior-division training ground for Wu Zhangkong after the teacher promised to support his administrative work. Protected by Soul Guiding Arrays and a barrier, the venue could withstand Soul King-level battles 67.
Protecting the Students
When Guang Biao accused four students of severely injuring his younger brother, Long Hengxu attempted to defuse the confrontation by questioning whether children could have caused such injuries. Despite being a Soul King himself, he was substantially weaker than Guang Biao, a Soul Emperor. Wu Zhangkong intervened to handle the threat 94.
During the Class Promotion Tournament, Long Hengxu tried to intercept Dark Demon Flash because he feared it would kill Yao Xuan. Wu Zhangkong restrained him, confident that Yao Xuan could withstand it. After Yao Xuan defeated the attack, Long Hengxu announced Class Five’s victory while still astonished by his strength 102 103.
Establishing Class Zero
The freshmen’s tournament performances led Long Hengxu to envision a special class with Wu Zhangkong as its instructor. He believed the ordinary curriculum would hinder their growth and that future admission to Shrek Academy would also enhance Eastsea Academy’s reputation. The academy board approved the proposal almost unanimously 101 104.
Long Hengxu initially opposed including Tang Wulin because his level-fourteen Soul Power and Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul appeared insufficient. Wu Zhangkong argued that Tang Wulin’s broader qualities suited Shrek Academy’s admission requirements and expressed ninety-percent confidence that he could qualify after six years of training 104.
As Class Zero developed, Long Hengxu was impressed by Yao Xuan’s defeat of a thousand-year Crystal Bear and congratulated him on his Soul Spirit’s evolution. His concern remained evident when he reprimanded Yao Xuan for risking serious injury against a Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear in the Spirit Ascension Platform 119 125 144.
Transfer Admissions and Competition
Long Hengxu advocated for Xu Xiaoyan’s admission to Class Zero, emphasizing her age, cultivation progress, and mutated Star Wheel Ice Staff. Faced with Wu Zhangkong’s reservations about its daytime limitations, he also explained that her placement was a school-board decision. He secured a one-month evaluation period and reported the compromise to Principal Yu Zhen 199 200.
He acted as an intermediary for Class Zero’s resource requests, agreeing to convey Wu Zhangkong’s proposal for more nutritious meals to the principal. He then accompanied Wu Zhangkong as a team leader for the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition 204 207.
Although he already knew Wu Zhangkong was powerful, Long Hengxu was shocked to discover that he was a Two-Word Battle Armor Master when the teacher defeated an Evil Soul Master elder during the competition 226.
Promotion to Vice Principal
By Yao Xuan’s return to Eastsea Academy as ruler of the Great Yao Empire, Long Hengxu had been promoted to vice principal. He joined Principal Yu Zhen in welcoming the former student with a grand ceremony and showed deference to his imperial status 451.
Personality
Long Hengxu combines strict discipline with calculated educational planning. His stern treatment of Xie Xie conceals a broader effort to strengthen competition between classes, and he refuses to let the Xie Family’s standing override his decisions. At the same time, he distinguishes the victim from the participants when deciding punishment 49 50.
His administrative pragmatism does not exclude genuine concern for students. He attempts to protect them against Guang Biao, reacts urgently when Yao Xuan appears endangered, and reproaches him for taking unnecessary risks. He can also tolerate Wu Zhangkong’s rude manner when cooperation benefits the academy 94 102 144 200.
