Li Peipei

Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

• Original appearance: Long hair, exquisite features, and a slender figure; regarded as Iron Rain Base’s most beautiful woman 10.
• After Xia Lin’s attack: Rapid Proliferation causes extreme fat growth, distorting her features and burying her legs and feet beneath folds of flesh. She nevertheless retains mobility and much of her combat strength 10.
• Height and later weight: Stands 1.7 meters tall and weighs approximately 1,500 jin by her arena debut, down from approximately 1,800 jin earlier in her training 26 42.
• Combat features: Her eyes shine white when using White Dragon True Eye; Black Dragon Body produces protective dragon scales 5.

Personality

Li Peipei is cautious, rigid, and accustomed to unquestioned authority. Iron Rain Base reflects her tightly controlled leadership: she makes its rules, holds power over its residents’ lives, and reserves exclusive use of the main Ash Zone entrance during her expeditions 10 13.

She treats conscripted civilians as expendable resources. Her squad implants Flesh Bombs in them, and she personally throws one at an enemy to conserve the team’s strength. When Xia Lin challenges her appeal to humanity’s greater good, she feels no guilt and instead considers how to recover the treasure he has taken 2 4 7.

Her anger does not entirely override her caution. Rather than risk another confrontation with the empowered Xia Lin, she withdraws to Iron Rain Base and orders other Walkers to capture him. Her ambitions are similarly pragmatic: she is willing to change classes and exploit her unwanted obesity if doing so offers a route into the top thirty Sequences 7 10 12.

Although she claims not to care about her appearance, public ridicule during her arena debut visibly humiliates her. She blames Xia Lin for the transformation while simultaneously wanting to use his ability to support her martial training 12 14 42.

Abilities & Skills

Dragon Warrior

• Class trait: Greatly enhances skills containing “dragon” in their names 5.
• Specialization: Better suited to one-on-one combat than fighting several enemies after her burst attack ends 5.
• Limitation: Bai Guang identifies her lack of a limit-breaking skill as a growing disadvantage against other Sequence contenders 14.

White Dragon True Eye

• Rank: S 5.
• Grants night vision and greatly enhanced visual perception, including the ability to detect an opponent’s movements as they exert force at close range 5.
• Allows her to perceive the treasure and its guardians through cavern walls, identify a native class holder’s level and incomplete attributes, and glimpse Xia Lin moving inside a Nether Breath Hound 4 5 6.

Black Dragon Body

• Increases all attributes by 20 and covers the body in dragon scales that provide massive damage reduction 5 43.

Wind Dragon’s Protection

• Remains usable after her transformation, but her increased mass makes it harder to control. During her arena debut, she loses her footing and lands on Shen Nianci, crushing her while remaining unharmed 43.

Sequence Authority

Background / History

Iron Rain Base and the Dark Cavern Expedition

Li Peipei first appears as Iron Rain Base’s highest authority and Human Sequence 43. She leads an elite squad consisting of An Yue, Rouyun, Zhang Wen, and Xie Xiaotian, all level-four Ash Zone Walkers. Their expedition into the C-rank Dark Cavern targets a Heaven-Gifted Source Essence, which she hopes will strengthen her enough to compete for a top-thirty Sequence position 1 2 5.

The squad takes six coerced recruits, including Xia Lin, as cannon fodder. Li Peipei orders Rouyun to implant Flesh Bombs in them and later sacrifices one against a level-five Subterranean Humanoid class holder before beheading the wounded enemy 2 4.

At the treasure chamber, she attacks two level-five Nether Breath Hounds while her teammates support her. Xia Lin turns on the squad, killing An Yue and Rouyun before confronting the frontline members. Li Peipei’s attack cuts through Xie Xiaotian when Xia Lin uses him as a shield, but fails to stop Xia Lin from reaching Zhang Wen and taking shelter inside a hound 5 6.

Feud with Xia Lin

Xia Lin throws the dying Zhang Wen away from the treasure, forcing Li Peipei to choose between her teammate and the Heaven-Gifted Source Essence. Her hesitation costs her both: Zhang Wen dies on impact, and Xia Lin takes the treasure 7.

Li Peipei first threatens him, then argues that the essence could stabilize local space and protect humanity. Xia Lin rejects the appeal and consumes it before Dragon Flash Dance finishes its cooldown. Li Peipei escapes through the completed main quest’s ten-second return process, warning that he must eventually return to her base 7.

Back at Iron Rain Base, she orders Xia Lin captured alive for torture. He fires Rapid Proliferation into her mouth and teleports away, leaving her body grotesquely enlarged. She subsequently posts a bounty of 10,000 Ash Zone Points, explicitly requiring his capture alive 10 12.

Seeking the Martial King’s Path

Li Peipei decides to imitate Martial King Lie, whose martial training used excess fat as fuel for limit-breaking growth. She is willing to change classes and wants Xia Lin alive so that his ability can provide further weight gain 12 14.

With Gu Hua’s help, she enters Fierce Martial City and approaches Zhou Yan at the Three-Phase Martial Arts Hall. She pays one million in local currency for admission and receives a quest to claim the Fierce Martial King title in exchange for a breathing technique 14 17.

Unknown to her, Zhou Yan has no intention of teaching her the Blood Fiend Breathing Technique. He recognizes her connection to the Immortal God Clan, an opposing faction, and plans to provide basic exercise methods. Even if she completes his challenge, he intends to offer a far weaker breathing technique instead 17.

Savage Martial Arena

While training under Zhou Yan, Li Peipei recognizes Xia Lin in an arena broadcast and still intends to capture him. However, his rapid completion of the main mission threatens to put him beyond her reach, since she does not know which entrance he used to enter the Ash Zone 26 32.

She enters the arena as Huaxin Technology’s Dragon Warrior representative against Shen Nianci, a level-four Assault Assassin. Despite the audience’s ridicule and Shen Nianci’s clone technique, Li Peipei wins with Dragon Flash Dance. Her uncontrolled landing crushes Shen Nianci, while Black Dragon Body leaves Li Peipei completely uninjured 42 43.

Relationships

• Xia Lin — Former conscript and enemy. His retaliation destroys her squad, deprives her of the Heaven-Gifted Source Essence, and transforms her body. She later seeks to capture him both for revenge and to exploit his weight-gain ability 2 5 6 7 10 12 14.
• An Yue, Rouyun, Zhang Wen, and Xie Xiaotian — Members of her original elite squad. Their coordinated support enables her expedition, but all die during Xia Lin’s uprising 2 4 5 6 7.
• Gu Hua — Ancient Splendor Base’s leader, a fellow City of Immortality member, and a publicly known admirer. He helps her find a martial arts Ash Zone after she promises him a personal favor 12 13 14.
• Bai Guang — Rival whom she ambushed before the previous Sequence Hegemony Battle, severely damaging his performance and ranking. He allies with Xia Lin against her 13 14.
• Zhou Yan — Martial instructor whom she approaches for the Blood Fiend Breathing Technique. He accepts her fee but deliberately withholds the inheritance she wants 17 36.
• Martial King Lie — Model for her intended transition into martial arts and limit-breaking training 12 14.
• Shen Nianci — Opponent defeated and killed during Li Peipei’s arena debut 42 43.
