Background

Li Xingze was transported into the magical world fifteen years before the story begins. His parents, both low-level mages, died after being gravely injured in a demon attack and receiving inadequate treatment. He was subsequently raised by his second uncle, who was related by marriage to Mo Fan's family; this placed Li Xingze and Xin Xia in the same household throughout childhood 1.

At Tianlan High School, Li Xingze awakened the Summoning Element. He trained to protect Xin Xia and soon developed the Goldflame Dragon Lion into his defining summoned beast 3 5. His early achievements included an S+ Star-Sense Stone result, an S in Magic Release, and first place in the Annual Assessment 5.

His rapid growth brought him into contact with Zhan Kong, Tang Yue, and Hai Bo Dong. During a wilderness mission, he negotiated payment for taking on a Commander-level Bone Spike Demonic Wolf, obtained a Spirit-grade Stardust Magic Artifact, and sold a General-level Soul Essence for twenty million 10 12. During the Bo City disaster, he protected Xin Xia, reunited with his distant cousin Hai Bo Dong, and accepted Zhan Kong's mission to defend the Terra Sanctum Spring 16.

Personality

Li Xingze is blunt, self-assured, and highly transactional when dealing with people who underestimate him. He refuses offers he considers insufficient, negotiates directly for resources, and has little patience for grandstanding or empty politeness 9 10 32.

He places considerable value on strength, independence, and practical results. This is reflected in his cultivation choices, his willingness to challenge stronger opponents, and his belief that power is necessary to protect one's dignity 51 62. He is also willing to take responsibility for allies and civilians, such as protecting Xin Xia during the Bo City disaster, holding the Ancient Capital's undead at bay, and intervening in military crises 16 103 226.

When threatened, Li Xingze can be ruthless. After learning that the Zu Clan had attempted to assassinate him, he seized and controlled Zu Xiangtian as leverage against the clan 273 275.
