Background

Li Jinsheng was found on the coast of Eastsea City and raised in the East Sea Orphanage. Recognizing his potential, Xiao Yu arranged his accommodation, education at East Sea Junior Academy, and early cultivation resources through the Spirit Pagoda. 2

At six, he was introduced as an unprecedented Life Element Martial Soul user focused on support and control. Gu Yue immediately noticed that his life force exceeded even the level she associated with Bi Ji, while Li Jinsheng sensed the overwhelming danger posed by Zi Ji. 4

He initially lacked direct offensive options and pursued physical training, self-created soul skills, and forging to compensate. His abnormal physical growth had no apparent bottleneck despite his slim build and support-oriented Martial Soul. 9 13 14

Appearance

Li Jinsheng is initially described as a thin but upright six-year-old with black hair and black eyes. His hands are unusually large, fair, slender, and jade-like. 4 42 49

• His body rapidly adapts and evolves under extreme stress, including increased bone density and lung capacity. 57 60
• His Third Soul Skill can produce extra arms and pale bone wings with green-gold vascular patterns. 42 57
• His Three-Word Battle Armor, Jinsheng Light, is cyan with dark-gold cloud patterns, layered scale-like armor plates, and a conspicuous cloak. 287
• He values visual presence in equipment and repeatedly requests a bright red cape for his Battle Armor. 137 175

Personality

Li Jinsheng is calm, intensely driven, and highly pragmatic about cultivation. Having grown up dependent on the Spirit Pagoda’s support, he believes he must continually become stronger to justify the resources invested in him. 9

He is also conspicuously vain and mischievous, often prioritizing whether his equipment, mecha, or attacks look impressive. He casually teases peers and elders alike, including Long Yeyue, and has little fear of offending powerful figures. 17 108 110 137

Despite wielding Life-based powers, his methods can be brutal. He rationalizes harsh actions as merciful when he removes pain or uses force to protect others, and his illusion training makes his combat style increasingly ruthless. 8 39 82 83 He nevertheless demonstrates compassion by healing defeated opponents and cleansing curses from Tang Ziran and Lang Yue. 94 366

• Can be resisted by Spiritual Power above the Spirit Domain Realm combined with a domain that restores control over one’s body. 336
