Background / History

Lei Zhan was Magic City Martial Arts University's Mutual Aid Society President and its number-one combat-power-ranked student when Li Ziyu defeated Vice President Nangong Hao. Initially, Lei regarded Li as a potentially valuable teammate who ranked beneath himself and intended to demonstrate a clear strength gap so that Li would support his captaincy in the National Youth Martial Arts University League. 94

He invited Li to join the long-uncompleted S-rank mission to hunt a Black Dragon King. Although securing leadership was part of his motive, Lei sincerely believed that students needed experience against high-level fierce beasts and argued that martial artists should protect Great Xia rather than isolate themselves in pursuit of cultivation. 100

At the Daxing Wilderness Area, Lei attempted to defeat a Black Dragon King alone to display his lightning-element combat ability. He fought the Level Four Advanced dragon-type beast for half an hour, but a second, stronger Black Dragon King forced him to use his trump card and order Li to retreat for reinforcements. 102 103

Lei was left astonished when Li killed both Black Dragon Kings with ease. He abandoned his intention to compete for team captain, accepted Li's superiority, and volunteered to transport the corpses while Li continued hunting. 104 105

While trying to sell the corpses through black-market merchant Lei Laohu, Lei was ambushed, captured, and tortured. He refused to reveal Li Ziyu's identity despite the danger. Li later rescued him and recovered the stolen Black Dragon King corpses. 107 110 111

After selling both corpses for five billion Great Xia Coins, Lei transferred the entire amount to Li. He then entered seclusion, aiming to break through and one day surpass Li in a spar. 111

Appearance

Lei Zhan is a well-proportioned, sturdy young man with a resolute face, a buzz cut, and piercing black eyes. He usually wears fitted black combat gear and carries two blades. 100 262

Personality

Lei Zhan is proud, competitive, and strongly motivated to lead. His original plan to recruit Li Ziyu was partly driven by his determination to become captain of Magic City's National Youth Martial Arts University League team. He prefers winning others over through demonstrated strength rather than open conflict. 94 102

He can be overconfident, particularly when he underestimates Li and insists on fighting the Black Dragon King alone. Witnessing Li's true strength changes his attitude from rivalry to respect without extinguishing his desire to improve. 102 104 105 111

Lei also shows patriotism and personal loyalty. He advocates hunting fierce beasts to protect Great Xia, orders Li to flee when their mission becomes overwhelming, and refuses to betray Li while captive. 100 103 110
