Xu Long

Biodata

Power Progression

S-rank mission evaluations measure Xu Long’s results, not his personal rank. He reaches the D-rank attribute limit after three mission worlds but has not yet passed the assessment for C-rank in the provided chapters 39 43.

Background

Xu Long possesses memories of a previous life and recognizes the plots behind the Reincarnation Temple’s mission worlds. He also refers to his body’s “previous owner,” whose exercise left him with unusually strong starting attributes. His familiarity with films and games reveals that much of the intelligence traded by other reincarnators is inaccurate 1 10 11.

He begins as a senior at Minghu Middle School, living on the outskirts of Minghu City. Rather than follow his classmates into the supposedly safer Spider-Man world, he deliberately chooses Resident Evil and pretends his selection was accidental 1 24.

Personality

Xu Long is ambitious, calculating, and focused on converting plot knowledge into power. He conceals his identity, prepares multiple approaches with the Red Queen, and manipulates story events to obtain hidden-mission rewards. In Kung Fu, he deliberately preserves recognizable conflicts so that other reincarnators and assassins will not become suspicious 13 15 24.

His caution persists even when he holds an advantage. He shoots gravely wounded mercenaries from a distance rather than risk a last-minute counterattack, and favors ranged talisman placement over unnecessary close combat 38 47.

He is also ruthless and transactional. He kills reincarnators who threaten his plans, treats mission-world inhabitants as sources of points, and exploits Shanghu City’s gangs before destroying them. His consideration is selective: he feeds and shelters the captive flame-user, equips surviving reincarnators, protects Sun Yameng, and risks exposing his bloodline to save Xu Jiao 5 17 20 21 30 35 46.

His confidence frequently takes the form of mockery, boasting, and jokes. Nevertheless, he recognizes genuine limits: after obtaining formal internal force, he judges himself capable of confronting a healthy Beast, but not effortlessly crushing him 23 29.

Abilities & Skills

Plot Knowledge and Mission Planning

Xu Long’s knowledge of the original stories is his principal advantage over other reincarnators 1 24.

• Identifies lethal encounters in advance, including the Hive’s laser corridor 3.
• Finds valuable characters and resources, such as the old beggar’s martial arts manuals 13 14.
• Infers hidden missions from opportunities to rescue characters, defeat assassins, or control local factions 16 17.
• Briefs the Red Queen before entering worlds, allowing her to prepare strategies for different assigned identities 13.

T-Virus Enhanced Bloodline

The bloodline substantially strengthens his body, senses, spirit, and adaptability 9 14.

• Its initial enhancement grants 110 total attribute points, with the largest individual increase going to spirit 9.
• Its adaptability helps him generate internal force without first purchasing the formal skill 14.
• His blood contains the T-virus; the passage distinguishes this from saliva, urine, and sexual fluids 9.
• Compatibility with additional enhancements is not guaranteed: the flame serum causes a violent internal conflict 27.
• He uses repeated doses of his blood alongside serum to help Xu Jiao complete T-virus fusion 46.

Telekinesis

Initially purchased at E-rank and later upgraded to D-rank, telekinesis is Xu Long’s main combat specialty 10 23 39.

• Controls firearms and small projectiles remotely 10 17.
• Uses Spiral Needles and plum-blossom darts for concealed attacks, including strikes from behind distracted enemies 17 19 22.
• Sends two hostile classmates flying with spiritual power 26.
• Can place talismans on zombies from a distance 47.

Spirit Blast

A D-rank skill described as detonating the target’s soul to inflict immense damage 39.

• Damage increases with the user’s spirit attribute 39.
• Provides a soul-targeting alternative to his physical weapons and martial arts 39.
• No use of the skill is documented in the supplied passages.

Internal Force and Martial Arts

Xu Long combines inherited staff skills with techniques learned from eight manuals. His first internal-force supply is limited and quickly exhausted; the purchased E-rank skill supplies a sustainable foundation 13 14 22 23.

Firearms and Marksmanship

• Accurately kills Brother Bin and his accomplices before they can release the Lickers 5.
• Uses perception and precise gunfire to shatter Heaven and Earth’s incoming Sonic Blades 18.
• Combines frontal gunfire with telekinetic attacks from behind 19.
• At the D-rank limit, withstands a heavy anti-materiel rifle’s recoil while tracking Flame Hell Beasts 44.

Flame Ability

His gene-derived flames consume internal force but initially offer much less combat power than his martial arts 27.

• Produces a small flame at his fingertip or a ball of fire in his palm 27 30.
• Uses the ability to burn Yellow Hair’s body and remove evidence 30 31.
• Regards it as inefficient for direct combat, though useful for disposal 27 31.

Talismans and Occult Knowledge

His Mr. Vampire identity supplies broad but incompletely mastered training in talismans, ritual implements, ghosts, zombies, feng shui, geomancy, divination, and fortune-telling 47.

• Eye-Opening Talisman: Reveals supernatural signs, including resentment surrounding Li Si and figures in the banana plantation 48 50.
• Blazing Fire Talisman: Destroys an attacking resentful soul 48.
• Prepares more than two hundred talismans with Uncle Nine before investigating Li Family Village 48.
• A quickly drawn palm talisman is weaker than a properly prepared version, though sufficient for basic observation 48.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Resident Evil

Xu Long turns his first mission into a resource-gathering expedition. He saves Matthew Addison and the medic from the laser corridor, prevents Brother Bin’s betrayal, and survives the Hive while obtaining the T-virus, Alice’s blood, and the Red Queen’s consciousness 3 5 8.

His result earns 9,859 points, an E-rank authority card, and the first publicly announced S-rank evaluation. The announcement makes Long Aotian an international recruitment target while leaving Xu Long’s civilian identity concealed 8 9.

Kung Fu

Assigned Donut’s identity, Xu Long acquires martial arts while the Red Queen takes over the Axe Gang by impersonating Brother Sum. Together they subdue Shanghu City’s underworld and arrange confrontations with its leading assassins 13 14 16.

He also uncovers experiments on captured martial artists and rescues a young flame-user. After using gang attacks, machine-gun fire, and explosives to weaken The Beast, he finishes the fight with telekinetic Spiral Needles. He returns with 13,000 points, two E-rank clearance cards, a second S-rank evaluation, and a completed rank assessment 20 21 22.

Wolf Warrior

Replacing deputy captain Shao Bing, Xu Long commands the reincarnators through a military exercise and subsequent dangers. He tames the Wolf King, saves 27 surviving reincarnators, and defeats Old Cat’s mercenary group 28 30 33 35 38.

The Red Queen’s nuclear strikes cause irreversible damage to the mission world, prompting forced extraction. Xu Long receives 22,700 points, another S-rank evaluation, and a D-rank authorization card; his complaint about the extraction earns a second card as compensation 38 39.

Fallen Zone

Xu Long deploys with his surviving classmates and joins Xu Jiao’s camp. She assigns him ten tanks, twenty armored vehicles, and two thousand robot guards, but he also personally fights Flame Hell Beasts with a sniper rifle 41 43.

When Xu Jiao is endangered, he helps extract her and later treats her through T-virus fusion. She resigns after recovering, concealing his involvement to protect him from being captured for research or killed 44 46.

Mr. Vampire

On his fourth Temple opening, Xu Long enters Mr. Vampire and prioritizes studying talisman arts. He and Uncle Nine investigate Li Si’s nightmares, his missing brother’s body, and supernatural activity near Li Family Village 47 48.

After Li Si’s household is killed, Xu Long demands two thousand silver dollars for further help. Their search reveals a female monster in Li Si’s banana plantation; when she retreats, they begin planning how to lure her out 50.
