Background

Li Ye was a high-school Martial Arts Preparatory Class student in Ningjiang City. Although he excelled at General Studies and passed his preparatory physical tests, his ordinary aptitude and his family’s debt from martial arts training led him to consider transferring to Liberal Arts. Yan Menglu delayed the transfer application in hope that he would continue training. 1 2

He had trained at martial arts halls for five years, enduring injuries, medicinal baths, and expensive instruction without reaching the Dragon Gate. His circumstances changed because he possessed the Godslayer System, which gains Authority through slaying gods. 1 3 14

After helping Huang Qingyi identify and deal with the Five Plagues Ghost, Li Ye attracted Pan Zhengyang’s attention. The Pest Control Bureau rewarded him with money and the Five Flavors Chopsticks, then hired him as a part-time Data Clerk after his Dragon Gate breakthrough. 11 17

Pan Zhengyang later introduced him to Xu Yanwu, who accepted Li Ye as his disciple and passed down the Twelve Golden Palaces Dragon Tiger Gate. Xu’s training transformed Li Ye’s Blood Essence control and established the foundation for his three-pass Second Realm path. 20 21 28 67

Appearance

Li Ye is a youthful, leanly muscular martial artist whose physique was shaped by years of harsh training. His body appears ordinary beside bulkier Iron Body practitioners, despite possessing exceptional physical strength. 20 38 45

• Lean, smoothly developed musculature. 20
• Youthful face, often partly shadowed by his peaked Pest Control Bureau cap. 69
• Usually presents himself calmly, even when facing opponents far above his apparent age or status. 136 180
• Wears the Pest Control Bureau’s stand-collar uniform, armored gloves, long boots, and peaked cap while on duty. 69

Personality

Li Ye is pragmatic and highly self-directed. As a preparatory student, he considered abandoning martial arts because his family could not afford further training; after gaining a viable path forward, he pursued cultivation with extreme discipline instead. 1 14 30

He values loyalty and repayment of kindness. Pan Zhengyang’s support, Xu Yanwu’s inheritance, and the Pest Control Bureau’s opportunities repeatedly influence Li Ye’s choices, including his refusal of lucrative recruitment offers. 30 61 128

Li Ye is also ruthless toward those he considers threats. He believes authority must be established through decisive action, especially when facing corrupt martial artists, hostile families, or demons. This approach earned him both the fearsome titles Li Longhu and Li Chuang Wang. 69 80 125 130

Despite his reputation, he remains protective of his family, friends, and subordinates. He pays his parents’ debts, offers cultivation opportunities to old classmates, and seeks to make the Pest Control Bureau capable of protecting Ningjiang City. 53 95 131 183
