Background

After learning that Old Earth’s attributes, martial arts, spells, and professions could be brought into reality, Xiao Jie chooses to keep playing despite the game’s extreme mortality rate. His decision is driven by a desire for power and revenge following Han Luo’s death. 9 296

He begins as a Woodcutter and quickly identifies a practical growth path: earn weapon skills through professions, learn combat techniques and cultivation methods, then use money to improve equipment. His first major breakthrough comes from woodcutting, which grants Blade Weapon Mastery and leads to his comprehension of One Cut Two Pieces. 17

Xiao Jie later shifts from a primarily Agility-based martial build into a hybrid path of saber techniques, qi refinement, demon arts, and transformation abilities. Refining Demon Cores grants him immense growth but also repeatedly exposes him to hostile lingering consciousnesses and physical demonization. 236 249 301

Appearance

Qi refinement enhances Xiao Jie’s physique and bearing without drastically changing his facial features. He develops a balanced, toned build, refined features, bright skin, and an increasingly detached, otherworldly temperament. 31 301

• Initially pale and thin, later develops visible musculature through attribute growth. 31
• His cultivation gives him deep, star-like eyes and an unusually calm presence. 301
• After reconstructing a human body, he regains the visible signs of living flesh: breathing, veins beneath the skin, and lively eyes. 566
• Demon and dragon transformations can produce scales, claws, wings, and radically altered limbs. 374 501

Personality

Xiao Jie is analytical and progression-focused. He studies game systems, maps regions, tests skills in reality, and routinely evaluates opponents according to damage, defenses, movement, and possible kill windows. 17 50 190

He is determined but not reckless. Even when pursuing revenge against Liu Qiang or seeking immortality, he plans around terrain, allies, escape routes, equipment, and the risks of a Death Game. 335 488 506

Power gradually makes Xiao Jie concerned about emotional numbness and the loss of his humanity. After becoming an Immortal, he deliberately reconstructs a human body so that he can retain emotion, sensation, and connection to others. 301 566

Though reluctant to assume broad political responsibility, he is deeply committed to his companions and prioritizes reviving them over joining larger causes. 401 537 561
