* AsskickingEqualsAuthority:

** When Linley takes Bloodviolet from its resting place, he inadvertently opens a portal to a prison dimension and releases a powerful deity. That deity gathers an army of magical beasts and brings destruction to the Kingdom of Fenlai, which kills 80% of city's residents who didn't manage to escape on time. In a bit of symmetry, this event actually frees Linley from his own imprisonment.

* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: Averted as a Saint Magus can fight evenly with a Saint Warrior or that they are almost the same thing in Saint level.

This is the world which Linley is born into. Raised in the small town of Wushan, Linley is a scion of the Baruch clan, the clan of the once-legendary [[{{Our Ancestors Are Superheroes}}Dragonblood Warriors]]. Their fame once shook the world, but the clan is now so decrepit that even the heirlooms of the clan have been sold off. Tasked with reclaiming the lost glory of his clan, Linley will go through countless trials and tribulations, making powerful friends but also deadly enemies.
Come witness a new legend in the making.

''Coiling Dragon'', aka Panlong, is a {{Web Serial Novel}} written by {{wuxia}} author Creators/{{I Eat Tomatoes}} and has been completely translated into English by [[http://www.wuxiaworld.com/cdindex-html/ Ren Wo Xing]]. A manhua adaptation also exists for the work.

* ABoyAndHisX: Linley and Bebe, his [[BondCreatures magical beast companion]].

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Played straight. In a world where supernatural might can change the course of a war, high-ranking warriors and magi are regularly given noble titles. Even where a noble-born may outrank a warrior, there will be some deference.

* ForgedByTheGods: Divine artifacts are created over time as deities use items and nourish them with their divine and spiritual energies. The way that a deity uses an item determines the nature of the artifact that it will become.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: When Linley takes Bloodviolet from its resting place, he inadvertently opens a portal to a prison dimension and releases a powerful deity. That deity gathers an army of magical beasts and brings destruction to the Kingdom of Fenlai, which kills 80% of city's residents who didn't manage to escape on time. In a bit of symmetry, this event actually frees Linley from his own imprisonment.

* RingOfPower: The [[{{The Namesake}} Coiling Dragon]]. This ring has special powers that are revealed through the story. Examples include allowing the wearer to use less energy to cast spells and protecting Linley's soul from being destroyed.

* CallingYourAttacks: Kinda Averted, even if all spells have names, and once a person gains insight on the Profound Mysteries usually names the attacks that use them, the person rarely calls them out loud, and most of the times just thinking the name of the attack is enough.

* MemeticMutation: "Haerwho?" A reference to the character Haeru who was fairly close to Linley for a part of the story and then [[spoiler:was abruptly left behind and forgotten by the author.]]

* YourSoulIsMine: Souls can be taken and "refined" into a form that can be absorbed. This absorption can be done to heal one's own soul or to increase one's power. In general, the donor doesn't survive the process.

* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: Averted as a Saint Warrior can fight evenly with a Saint Magus or that they are almost the same thing in Saint level.

* BloodKnight: Linley 100%. It is mentioned several times that when he is in danger that he feels his "blood boiling" with excitement.
