Background

Baili Qingfeng begins martial-arts training under his Second Grandfather, Baili Changkong, after being caught between Wang Gang and Jiang Ziheng and nearly killed. His original aim is simple: acquire enough strength that he will not again suffer such a disaster for no reason. 738

He retains memories from a previous life and writes the song “Long Time No See,” which his mother hums at home. His early cultivation centers on the Thunder Sovereign Spirit Refinement Visualization Method and the Rushing Thunder Thirty-Six Forms. 3 6

His rise is unusually rapid. After developing Jing in two days, he reaches the fifth stage of Spirit Refinement in approximately a month and a half. This progress establishes him as the Baili Family’s exceptional younger-generation talent. 6 110

Appearance

Baili Qingfeng is described as a clean and sunny young man with a handsome, masculine presence. After a month and a half of training, he grows from 1.76 m to 1.80 m, while his Essence, Qi, and Spirit undergo a noticeable transformation. 6

• Around 1.80 m tall after his initial period of cultivation. 6
• Possesses a sturdy physique and a naturally favorable first impression. 6 9
• Can temporarily turn his hair white while building momentum and activating the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art. 171
• Frequently fights in custom Battle Armor, making his armored silhouette recognizable across Xia. 400

Personality

Baili Qingfeng persistently considers himself an ordinary person despite his escalating status and combat power. He wants a quiet life of studying, reading, listening to music, practicing martial arts, and spending time with friends and family. 237 588

He is sincere, polite, and strongly attached to his own moral distinction between good and evil. He insists that he does not kill indiscriminately and regards those who attempt to kill him as evil people deserving punishment. 240 265

His humility is genuine but often paired with a poor assessment of his own ability. He repeatedly considers his Sword Art inadequate, even when other cultivators view him as a monstrous talent. 300 472 736

Baili Qingfeng is also exceptionally cautious in battle. He prefers surprise attacks, armor, overwhelming force, and careful preparation rather than trusting opponents to fight fairly. 171 215 723
