Background

Xue Ming came from a poor background and was raised by human traffickers. His early life left him taciturn, distrustful of others, and especially alert to criminal intent; Jiang Bailu was initially the only person he truly trusted. 236

He enters the underground world seeking a cure for Bailu’s illness. At Nine Realms Station, he endures surreal surroundings, station procedures, and increasingly dangerous missions while remaining calm and observant. 4 7

His early station screening identifies abnormal spiritual attributes alongside exceptional combat skill. Rather than relying on talent alone, he pursues systematic firearms, close-quarters, pain-tolerance, and strength training. 18 33 35 36 37

Following his transformation at Mimir Hot Springs, Xue Ming develops a spirit body and becomes increasingly involved in the affairs of Nine Realms Station, the Unnamed, and Ming De. He later serves as an undercover operative against the Little Brotherhood and conducts major anti-gang operations. 101 247 283 301 329

Appearance

Xue Ming initially appears thin despite possessing unusually high skeletal muscle content. Intensive training later gives him visible muscle growth and a more developed physique. 37

• Frequently shaves his head during station examinations. 65 236
• Uses modified, practical survival clothing designed around mobility and emergency medical supplies. 43 44
• His female character account can alter his apparent form; the Glory·Laurel Wreath turns its wearer’s hair red. 146 251
• Hei Mu Qianshou’s influence temporarily regresses his body to that of an eight-year-old child. 403

Personality

Xue Ming is reserved, serious, cautious, and highly practical. He habitually prepares for threats, inspects security, modifies equipment, and avoids using unfamiliar powers recklessly. 32 43 215

He is also intensely self-improving. He seeks instruction from more experienced fighters, rapidly absorbs techniques, and continues training even after surpassing his instructors’ benchmarks. 33 35 37

Despite his ruthlessness toward dangerous enemies, Xue Ming can be considerate and responsible toward companions. He protects Xiao Qi, worries about Bailu, values people over material compensation, and records good deeds in a personal ledger to counterbalance his past actions. 101 146 319

His morality is situational rather than passive: he can spare defeated opponents when advised to do so, but he can also use deception, executions, and overwhelming violence against those he considers threats. 265 283 329
