Background / History
Li Chang'an was originally a web novelist from Earth. After being struck and killed by a car, he transmigrated into an ordinary merchant family in Spirit City, where he lived peacefully for six years before his Martial Soul Awakening. 2
At age six, Chang'an awakened the Pangu Axe and Eastern Emperor Bell, becoming a Twin Martial Soul possessor with full innate Soul Power. The pressure of the Pangu Axe frightened those in the awakening hall, while the appearance of both Martial Souls reduced the testing crystal to powder. His awakening also activated the Strongest Show-Off System, which rewards him with points when others are shocked or impressed by him. 2 4 8
His potential immediately drew the attention of Spirit Hall's Cardinal Archbishops and Pope Bibi Dong. Ghost escorted him to the Papal Hall, where Bibi Dong examined his Martial Souls and accepted him as her disciple. 5 8
Under Bibi Dong's support, Chang'an acquired extraordinarily high-level Soul Rings, condensed a Soul Core, and developed far beyond the standard pace of a Soul Master. He was tentatively selected as Spirit Hall's Holy Son, then cemented the position by writing a development report that influenced Spirit Hall policy, including research investment and social initiatives. 43 46 50
Years later, Chang'an entered Shrek Academy under disguise and became “Teacher Li,” using his combat knowledge, resources, and unconventional training methods to instruct students including Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun. 86 100 122 125
Appearance
Li Chang'an is consistently described as exceptionally handsome, with harmonious features, a refined demeanor, and an appearance that attracts attention even as a child. At age six, he wore a light-blue top and black trousers, with neatly combed hair and a delicate but angular face. 2 4
- His Pangu Axe is jet black, with a black-jade-like handle and a sharp, bright-black blade. 2
- The axe's design is smooth and natural rather than crude, carrying a restrained but domineering presence. 14
- His Eastern Emperor Bell is small in form but conveys heaviness and ancient vicissitudes. 4
- He can alter his appearance through Thousand Transformations' Head Soul Bone, allowing him to travel without immediately being recognized. 73 86
Personality
Chang'an is mature, composed, and socially confident beyond his physical age. During his awakening and first audience with Bibi Dong, he remains polite and controlled despite the attention surrounding his Twin Martial Souls. 4 8
He is highly strategic, often applying knowledge from his life on Earth to political planning, infiltration advice, combat, training, and institutional reform. His report for Spirit Hall emphasizes civilian support, military research, and long-term development rather than merely personal advancement. 18 21 50
His methods are frequently manipulative and provocative. He engineers situations to gain leverage over Qian Renxue, uses showmanship to accumulate system points, and employs deliberately humiliating techniques against enemies. 21 33 221
Despite his ruthlessness toward threats, Chang'an is protective of people he considers his own. He risks himself to rescue Huliena, supports Bibi Dong politically and personally, provides resources for his students, and plans compulsory education in Soto City for ordinary civilians. 28 50 125 172
Abilities & Skills
Twin Martial Souls
Chang'an possesses the Pangu Axe and Eastern Emperor Bell, two Martial Souls of radically different combat functions. Both are labeled “defective versions” on his system panel, though their demonstrated power remains extraordinary. 22 48
- Pangu Axe — An offensive Tool Martial Soul with innate suppressive pressure capable of intimidating other Soul Masters before Chang'an gains a Soul Ring. 2 14

- It allows him to regain Soul Power after depletion rather than remaining defenseless. 46

- Critical Hit Three-Strike Axe — A three-strike axe technique used to overwhelm Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer. 129
- Stare at Anyone and They Poop — A disruptive technique that causes severe physical discomfort and can interrupt an opponent's offense. 129 221
- Omni-Soul Fusion — A system reward that allows his Martial Soul to perform Martial Soul Fusion Skills with any Martial Soul, ignoring quality and level requirements; it has a one-week cooldown. 100
Strategy and Instruction
Chang'an is an accomplished planner, trainer, and battlefield commander.
- He identifies and develops students around their individual Martial Soul strengths rather than forcing uniform training. 125
