Background

Lin Li was reborn into a world where people can awaken spirituality and cultivate. He awakened spirituality at age fifteen and trained for seven years, but his extremely poor aptitude left him unable to reach the First-Order Initial Stage. His original goal was simple: become strong enough to “marry a beautiful and wealthy woman and reach the pinnacle of life.” 1

His circumstances changed after he found and consumed a red Spirit Fruit on the Mysterious Small Island. The fruit made him a cultivator and awakened his Flame Ability, beginning his rapid growth through repeated harvests from the island’s miraculous tree. 5 47 171

After earning a Beast Hunter License, Lin Li began hunting exotic beasts for resources and to nourish the Mysterious Small Tree. His hunting activities eventually brought him into conflict with criminal cultivators, illegal organizations, and powerful threats in both Earth’s wilderness and the Spirit Realm. 13 46 107 240

Personality

Lin Li is pragmatic, self-aware, and strongly motivated by personal improvement. Although he initially preferred staying home and playing games, his access to the Mysterious Small Island made him increasingly diligent about hunting, cultivation, and acquiring resources. 1 502
