Background / History

Li Hao was originally a failed writer whose manuscript finally began earning money shortly before he fell into a sewer and was transported to the Zongwu world. He awoke in the body of Yin Zhiping, a third-generation Quanzhen Sect disciple under Qiu Chuji and a potential future sect leader. Along with the body, he inherited Yin Zhiping’s memories and martial arts. 1

His arrival immediately places him in danger: Little Dragon Girl holds him responsible for their encounter, while Yang Guo and the Ancient Tomb Sect later search for him. Recognizing that Yin Zhiping’s inherited skills are insufficient for the wider martial world, Li Hao avoids main roads and focuses on obtaining greater power. 1 10

The Supreme Villain System binds to him during his flight. Its central quest is to collect women listed in the Gallery of Beauties, granting rewards determined by their rankings. Li Hao accepts the system’s villain-oriented path and builds his strength, entourage, reputation, and political leverage through its rewards. 1 3

At Canhe Manor, Li Hao is identified as the possible descendant of Li Tiezhu, the Murong Family’s lost Second Young Master. The manor’s retainers cite his reported lineage, his resemblance to Murong Fu, and his ability to use Stars Shift as evidence; Li Hao neither confirms nor rejects their conclusion. 34 35 39 43

Appearance

Li Hao inhabits Yin Zhiping’s youthful Quanzhen disciple body. Though physically in his early twenties, Daoist cultivation leaves him appearing approximately seventeen or eighteen; he is described as fair-skinned, delicate-featured, and exceptionally handsome. 1 2 18

• Wears refined, young-master-style clothing after reaching Hengyang City. 2
• Carries himself with the poise of a wealthy, elegant martial artist. 2
• Resembles Murong Fu closely enough for Canhe Manor’s servants and retainers to accept him as Murong kin. 34 35
• His reputation for Qinggong, swordsmanship, and hidden weapons earns him the title “Young Master of Three Absolutes.” 17

Personality

Li Hao is adaptable, bold, and highly opportunistic. He rapidly adjusts from being a confused transmigrator to treating the martial world as a place where strength decides survival. He routinely uses sharp mockery to destabilize opponents, notably humiliating Yue Laosan and openly provoking figures such as Fei Bin and Invincible East. 10 11 12 20

He is calculating and often manipulative, setting personal conditions for aid, coercing Duan Yu into service, and using secrets, drugs, blackmail, or material rewards to secure obedience. He explicitly views Sons of Destiny and other potential rivals as threats to be removed before they can grow stronger. 3 11 38 40

Despite his ruthlessness, Li Hao is protective of people he considers his own. He saves Yi Lin from Tian Boguang, carries Ning Zhongze to safety after her injury, heals her when conventional treatment is insufficient, and organizes his followers’ cultivation rather than treating them as expendable. 4 13 15 30

Abilities & Skills

Supreme Villain System

Li Hao’s system supplies quests, rewards, storage, cultivation resources, martial techniques, and Villain Points.

• The Gallery of Beauties radar identifies listed women within a 500-meter radius and reveals their rankings. 3
• Villain Points can force comprehension of techniques that he has not mastered naturally. 4 8 19
• System rewards include Attribute-less Inner Force, medicinal pills, secret techniques, medical knowledge, and physical enhancements. 7 13 19 40
• His system space allows him to store and retrieve items, including weapons, medicine, alcohol, and supplies. 2 19

Treading Snow Without a Trace

A Grandmaster-level Qinggong technique granted in his beginner package, Treading Snow Without a Trace is Li Hao’s most consistently decisive combat advantage.

• Lets him move through forests as an afterimage and evade pursuers with extreme speed. 2
• Allows him to outrun Yue Laosan without being touched. 20
• He wins a long-distance Qinggong race against Qiao Feng and Li Xunhuan, covering roughly seventy miles round trip in less than half an hour. 18
• Its speed permits escapes even when he lacks the strength to defeat stronger opponents directly. 6 13

Internal Cultivation

Li Hao combines Quanzhen cultivation with the Lesser Formless Art, transforming his Internal Energy into a flexible, attribute-less Inner Force.

• The Lesser Formless Art can simulate other internal-energy methods and support martial arts of different attributes. 8
• His Inner Force is powerful but consumes rapidly when he attempts to combine multiple high-level techniques at once. 8
• The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon enhances his physical endurance and enables paired cultivation that can accelerate Internal Energy growth. 5 15
• Its healing circulation repairs severe internal injuries; Ning Zhongze’s damaged organs recover and she reaches the Grandmaster Realm through practicing it with him. 15

Swordsmanship and Martial Techniques

Li Hao possesses several powerful offensive and defensive techniques, many learned through system-assisted comprehension.

• Thirteen Sword Strikes of Life-Taking — A high-consumption sword art capable of overpowering opponents at the same cultivation level; Li Hao uses it to sever Tian Boguang’s arms. 4 5 13

• Sunflower Acupuncture Hand — Used to seal acupuncture points at range and immobilize targets. 13 14 47

Hidden Weapons and Medical Arts

Li Hao’s Grandmaster Medical Skills make him dangerous both as a healer and as a hidden-weapon user.

• He understands techniques including the Nine Needles of Returning Yang, Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate, and Heavenly Cycle acupuncture methods. 8
• His Lesser Formless Art allows him to supply the internal-energy requirements of different acupuncture techniques. 8
• Golden and ox-hair needles can bypass protective qi and threaten even Innate and Grandmaster opponents. 26 44 45
• He neutralizes the Five Poisons Child’s Golden Silkworm Gu Poison and treats Lin Shiyin and Long Xiaoyun with Hundred Herb Pills. 22

• Hundred Herb Pills — Antidotes capable of neutralizing severe poisons; used on Lin Shiyin and Long Xiaoyun and gifted to Old Nanny Hei. 22 43
• Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom — A three-stage restorative medicine that stabilizes, awakens, and ultimately heals a critically injured person. 19 24

Story Role / Major Arcs

Transmigration and Flight

Li Hao enters the Zongwu world in Yin Zhiping’s body, inadvertently incurs Little Dragon Girl’s hatred, and flees from her and Yang Guo. The Supreme Villain System binds to him during this escape and provides his first cultivation resources. 1 2

Hengyang and Yi Lin

At Huiyan Tower, Li Hao witnesses Tian Boguang fighting Linghu Chong. He accepts Yi Lin’s request for help only after she agrees to become his concubine, then reaches Houtian Realm, defeats Tian Boguang, and formally marries Yi Lin after presenting fifty Lesser Rejuvenation Pills to the Hengshan Sect. 3 4 5

Golden Basin Conflict

Li Hao becomes involved in the conflict surrounding Liu Zhengfeng’s Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony. He openly challenges Fei Bin, protects Yi Lin, kills Zhang Cheng, and escapes the wider battle with Ning Zhongze, Yi Lin, and Qu Feifei. Linghu Chong’s death completes Li Hao’s long-term system quest to eliminate a Child of Destiny. 10 11 13

Jiangnan Journey

Li Hao leaves Hengyang with Yi Lin, Ning Zhongze, Qu Feifei, Yan Shun, and a group of former bandits. Along the road, he befriends Qiao Feng and Li Xunhuan, becomes their sworn younger brother, and acquires further system rewards. 16 17 18 19

Four Evils Conflict

Li Hao humiliates and captures Yue Laosan, then becomes embroiled in a confrontation with Duan Yanqing and the remaining Four Evils. He breaks through to Xiantian Realm during the conflict and uses Stars Shift to survive Duan Yanqing’s strongest crutch attack. 20 26 27 28

Canhe Manor and Mantuo Mountain Villa

Jiumozhi’s arrival leads Li Hao to Canhe Manor, where the Murong retainers identify him as their possible Second Young Master. He gains their loyalty, forces Duan Yu into service, travels with A Zhu and A Bi to Mantuo Mountain Villa, and begins to establish influence over Li Qingluo, Wang Yuyan, and Helian Tieshu. 34 35 38 42 46

Trivia

• Li Hao’s beginner gift package grants Treading Snow Without a Trace at maximum level, unlike later techniques that require independent comprehension or Villain Points. 4
• His title “Young Master of Three Absolutes” refers specifically to his Qinggong, swordsmanship, and hidden weapons. 17
• The alleged Murong lineage is partly accepted because Stars Shift is believed to be impossible for non-Murong male bloodlines to cultivate. 30
• Li Hao’s preferred method of strengthening followers is distributing Bodhi Snake Galls rather than teaching them a new cultivation method. 30
