Background / History
Lin Lei is the son of Huo Ge and a descendant of the Baruk Family's Dragonblood Warriors. He grows up in Wushan Town, where Huo Ge asks the town's clinic owner, Bai Ge, to guide him. Bai Ge accepts him as a disciple and immediately has him bind the Coiling Dragon Ring with blood, awakening the Saint-level magus Dylin Cowart within it. 212
Bai Ge gives Lin Lei an unusually demanding foundation: advanced meditation, physical tempering, Form and Will Dragon Form, and carefully controlled exposure to real combat. His stated goal for Lin Lei is Saint level within ten years. 214 Rather than sending him into the Monster Mountain Range when he is weak, Bai Ge waits until Lin Lei has ninth-rank warrior strength and a transformed Dragonblood state capable of preserving his life in a crisis. 215
At the Radiant Church's magical enrollment test, Lin Lei displays exceptional earth and wind affinity, average fire affinity, and Spiritual Power thirty times that of his peers. Ernst Magic Academy offers him immediate admission. 214
During his training in the Monster Mountain Range, Lin Lei kills more than a hundred magical beasts and assassins, developing killing intent and practical survival instincts. In Mist Canyon, he is driven to a swordsmanship breakthrough while pursued by over a hundred Fire and Green Dragons and two eighth-rank Velociraptors. 215 216
At sixteen, Lin Lei applies to graduate from Ernst Magic Academy and publicly demonstrates seventh-rank wind magic through Flight Spell. The academy recognizes him as its greatest student and the youngest seventh-rank mage in Yulan Continent history; King Klaide subsequently grants him the title of Marquis and an estate. 219
As a noble in Fenlai City, Lin Lei learns to navigate surveillance, court politics, and corruption. He kills Duke Paderson after the duke seeks his help escaping a smuggling investigation, then destroys the evidence with Corpse Dissolving Powder. 221 During the Day of Destruction, he kills both King Klaide and Caesar while pursuing the fleeing royal family. 226
Personality
Lin Lei is disciplined and highly receptive to Bai Ge's instruction. He accepts long-term cultivation over reckless advancement, training his body as seriously as his magic and trusting Bai Ge's insistence on building a solid foundation. 214 215
Although initially inexperienced with urban society and romantic attention, he learns to present himself with the bearing of a noble while remaining observant of the political dangers around him. 213 220 He can be cold and severe when asserting authority, as shown by his strict household rules, and becomes decisive when confronting enemies such as Paderson, Klaide, and Caesar. 220 221 226
