Yu Zhong

Yu Zhong, the conqueror born from the Black Dragon's power, sought to break the seal on the Reverse Scale hidden within the Dragon Altar and forge a new future for the Cadia Riverlands. However, he was defeated by his senior brother, Baxia, and left to die in the mountains. After ten years of arduous training and travel, Yu Zhong found himself back at the Dragon Altar. He faced off against the Oriental Fighters, broke the seal to the Reverse Scale, and clashed in a final battle with the Evil God, Lieh, who caused the demise of the previous Black Dragon. Ultimately, with the help of his dear friend Wanwan, Yu Zhong regained his true self and emerged victorious. Now with the Black Dragon's Reverse Scale restored, Yu Zhong sets off on his path of conquest. During the age of the Endless War, the last of the dragon race, the Black and White Dragon Twins, opened a path to the Cadia Riverlands to save their people from annihilation. However, their journey would be paved with many sacrifices, including the Black Dragon himself.

Thirty-five years ago, Baxia learned that the Black Dragon's power had reincarnated as a boy. However, when Baxia tracked him down, he could not bring himself to harm the innocent child. Baxia informed the parents that their son bore the destiny of leading the Cadia Riverlands and must be taken to the Dragon Altar to receive the Great Dragon's guidance. While shedding tears of joy and sorrow, the couple agreed and named the boy "Yu Zhong"—hoping he would one day soar to the heavens. At the Dragon Altar, Yu Zhong quickly proved himself as a formidable warrior. But he was also aware that his rapidly growing power became a concern for his senior brother Baxia. To Baxia, one's mindset was more important than strength, especially when it came to the descendants of the Black Dragon who had once strayed from the righteous path. To hone his mind, Baxia took Yu Zhong on a journey across the Cadia Riverlands. Along the way, Yu Zhong used his power to help those in need, leaving behind many heroic tales. Yu Zhong understood what Baxia wanted him to see, and he was moved by the human spirit shining through the suffering. However, behind these moments of inspiration, he began to question the natur
