Background

Bai Pu began as an experimental subject whose body was altered by Source Blood. He was initially pale, emaciated, and treated by Little General Wu as a disposable guinea pig; the experiment gradually restored his health and appearance. 1

He became an Awakened at seventeen and selected the Blood Armor Shield Guard profession because its endurance-focused path suited him. During his early Spirit Realm exploration, Qin guided his combat training and alchemical studies, while Bai Pu rapidly developed weapon expertise and comprehended the alchemist sub-profession. 13 14 18

His upbringing left him highly guarded and reluctant to form dependencies. He originally preferred solo Spirit Realm exploration because he feared that reliance between companions would eventually turn friends into strangers; over time, he became more willing to work with and protect a team. 276 827

Appearance

Bai Pu is notably handsome, with an exceptionally high Charm value that remains effective even when the Spirit Realm adapts his appearance for different worlds. 6 726

• Initially recovered from a pale, emaciated condition into a healthy and striking young man after receiving Source Blood. 1
• Became tall, broad-shouldered, and powerfully built after specializing in Strength and Constitution. 238 250
• Later returned to a leaner, compact build as his attributes became more balanced, carrying a restrained and refined presence. 584 587
• In heavy armor, he is described as solid and dependable, with the imposing presence of mountains and seas. 1217

Personality

Bai Pu is pragmatic, rational, and intensely focused on lasting self-improvement. He prioritizes combat expertise, basic attributes, skills, and Spirit Realm experience over wealth or mass-producing profitable alchemical products. 144

He is a careful planner who avoids unnecessary risks without becoming passive. He routinely prepares contingencies, conceals important strengths, shares credit to secure allies, and exploits enemies' motivations rather than confronting every threat directly. 61 112 1090 1192

Although he can be blunt and emotionally distant, Bai Pu is capable of generosity. He donated valuable virtual combat equipment to Seventeen Middle School under another organization’s name to avoid attracting attention, and later offered the Emerald Ridge clans a safe route through the Ancient Locust Mountain Range without charge. 38 39 1127

“I was originally a discarded pawn forgotten by the times. Everything I have now is earned.” 276
