Background / History

Wu Baiyi descends directly from the surviving members of a Northern Star Domain Viscount family. His ancestors backed the losing side in the conflict between the Northern Star Domain Grand Duke and the Flamingo Marquis, after which their family was purged. The survivors fled, discovered the hidden Yang Zhong Star System, and established the White Robe Pirate Group there. 316

As patriarch of his generation, Wu Baiyi held primary authorization over Yang Zhong's strong artificial intelligence. The system retained three Kindling Warships and more than forty assault ships under its protection. Although branded pirates, the White Robes primarily targeted major merchant guilds and had no known record of indiscriminate slaughter. 316

When the Dark Peng breached the White Fang's shields, Wu Baiyi chose surrender over a futile last stand. He offered Wang Dong control of Yang Zhong, its artificial intelligence, and his family's remaining assets in return for legitimate service, merit, and advancement. His decision was driven by the belief that Wang Dong's overwhelming strength offered his family a path out of its long-standing predicament. 316

Wang Dong accepted his surrender after Mada assessed him as calm, rational, cautious, and sincere. Wu Baiyi signed the Reformer Alliance Contract and became the Dark Peng's fourth crew member, taking up the role of helmsman. 316 317

Personality

Wu Baiyi is notably calm, rational, and pragmatic. He suppresses emotional considerations when making decisions, whether that means surrendering to secure his family's future or assessing the risks of a battle with a pirate group's mentality. 316 1117

His outward demeanor is often cool and calculating. During the interception of the Mechanical God Cult's Armored Cuirassier, he prioritized the Sky Peng Horizontal's interests over the First Princess of the Purple River Kingdom's immediate safety. He is also capable of ruthless action, including participating in Li Tiange's kidnapping to exploit the latter's valuable Special Ability. 1494 1527

Despite this severity, Wu Baiyi is loyal to Wang Dong and works closely with the crew. He takes initiative when he identifies a viable solution, such as proposing the use of a sealed subspace to save the Rune Civilization's three Saints from the awakening Cthulhu Beast. 1681 1682

Abilities & Skills

Intuition

Wu Baiyi possesses Intuition, a Special Ability that functions as a combat-oriented sixth sense. When operating a Kindling Warship, it allows him to anticipate enemy gunners' firing intentions and opposing helmsmen's maneuvers before they are fully executed. 317 832

• Predicts attack vectors and enables preemptive evasive maneuvers. 317 353
• Helps him read enemy ship movements and seize favorable positions during pursuit or interception. 317 529
• Its effectiveness is amplified dramatically when he serves as a helmsman rather than fighting alone. 832
• Repeated, high-intensity use places a heavy burden on his stamina and mental state. 353 511
• Against enemies far above his level, such as the Puppet Mother Tree, even full use of Intuition only sustains roughly a 30% perfect-evasion rate. 1204
• He can partially counter locking-type Special Abilities, but doing so is exhausting and requires support from Gao Luanqin's potions. 1147 1148

Helmsmanship

Wu Baiyi is the Sky Peng Horizontal's primary helmsman and one of its most important combat personnel. His piloting combines Intuition, technical maneuvering, and careful management of the ship's defenses and movement systems. 317 677

• Personally piloted the White Fang's evasive maneuvers before surrendering; Shi Zunhou recognized his ability immediately. 317
• Performed high-speed atmospheric turns and phantom-like maneuvers to evade the mother insect's beam attacks. 353
• Honed his Intuition against multiple Micius Civilization mothership formations, gradually handling coordinated “light wall” pincer attacks with greater precision. 511 512
• Maintains the Sky Peng Horizontal's position during hazardous exploration operations, including above massive warship wreckage. 837
• Uses superior maneuverability to evade Level 9 star beasts, Puppet War Stars, the Tidal Envoy, and other high-level threats. 959 1025 1187
• Continues collecting and studying the techniques and experiences of legendary pilots, leading Shi Zunhou to note his further improvement. 1774

Body-Refining and Boarding Combat

Wu Baiyi had already reached intermediate completion in body-refining before joining the Dark Peng. With the crew's resources, he later advanced to the Advanced Stage and became capable of participating directly in boarding combat. 493 529

• Led the Dark Peng assault team during the boarding battle aboard the Royal Oak. 530
• Held off the Royal Oak's advanced-stage assault captain despite being somewhat less skilled in direct combat. 530
• His advanced cultivation supports extended helm duty, allowing him to manage difficult battles for long periods with planned rest cycles and medicinal support. 624 677

Tactical Planning

Wu Baiyi contributes more than piloting skill; he regularly identifies battlefield openings and operational risks. 677 1341

• Developed a rotation strategy that used the Sky Peng Horizontal's shield recovery to extend his effective endurance against a Level 8 Giant Planetary Life. 677
• Feigned a breakthrough against six Li Family Chamber of Commerce Star Destroyers, then reversed course to trap them with War Shackles and the Stone of Rum. 1341
• Used the Great Space Lock to negate the Void Worm King's teleportation advantage and prevent its escape from subspace. 1441
• Proposed creating a sealed subspace to hide and preserve the Rune Civilization's injured Saints from an awakening Cthulhu Beast. 1681 1682

Relationships

• Wang Dong — Commander who accepted Wu Baiyi's surrender and appointed him helmsman; their relationship is built on trust in Wu Baiyi's competence and judgment. 316 317 1681
• Mada — Recommended accepting Wu Baiyi after judging him rational and sincere; they later cooperate in intelligence work and retaliatory planning. 316 702
• Shi Zunhou — Frequent tactical partner and friendly rival. Wu Baiyi maneuvers the ship while Shi Zunhou operates its weapons, and the two often trade sarcastic remarks. 530 1441 1677
• Liu Zhi — Fellow core crew member who supports Wu Baiyi's plans with analysis and treats him as a close comrade. 1147 1682
• Gao Luanqin — Provides stamina potions when Intuition overtaxes him and monitors his condition during intense combat. 353 1148
• Mo Youlian — Her gratitude toward Wu Baiyi deepens after he proposes a way to save the Rune Civilization's Saints, including her father. 1681 1682

Story Role / Major Arcs

• White Robe Pirate Group surrender — Surrenders after the White Fang is damaged, transfers Yang Zhong Star System's assets, and joins Wang Dong under a legitimate identity. 316 317
• Early Dark Peng operations — Establishes himself as the ship's primary helmsman by evading the mother insect's attacks and exploiting the Dark Peng's maneuverability. 353

• Royal Oak boarding battle — Joins the assault team and helps secure victory during close-quarters combat. 529 530
