Background / History

Bai Mu awakened with only Level 1 Innate Soul Power and initially possessed Zygarde in the form of a mutated planarian. He compensated for his poor starting aptitude by developing the Sunlight Meditation Technique around Zygarde's photosynthesis and cultivated from Level 1 to Level 10 in three years. 5 8

He enrolled at Notting Academy, became Dorm Seven's boss after defeating Wang Sheng with a rear naked choke, and later graduated early. He repeatedly rejected Yu Xiaogang's offers of mentorship, judging the Grandmaster's cultivation and motives inadequate. 3 4 14 33

At Level 10, Zygarde evolved into its 10% Form after its Cells fused. Bai Mu then acquired his first Spirit Ring during a joint hunt with Tang San, choosing a healing-oriented ability rather than a conventional offensive skill. 6 12

After entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Bai Mu secretly infiltrated the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well using Zygarde's invisibility and Safeguard. He stole the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which substantially reinforced his body and helped form his Indestructible Vajra Body. 19 21 22 23 46

He later refined Hundred-Year and Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, raising his physical limits and enabling him to absorb a 5,000-year Mirror Shadow Beast Spirit Ring as his second ring. 25 28 29

Bai Mu returned to Notting City as a Level 30 Soul Grand Master, visited the Dean, and once again refused Yu Xiaogang's attempt to become his master. He subsequently acquired a ten-thousand-year third Spirit Ring from a Tusked Time Hunter. 33 36

By the time he reached Suotuo City, Bai Mu had attained Level 40. He reunited with Tang San and Xiao Wu, acquired the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, and declined to enroll at Shrek Academy after defeating Dai Mubai and Zhao Wuji. 40 42 50 56

Appearance

Bai Mu is a young human Spirit Master whose physique became notably stronger and more defined after consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and later integrating the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. 22 46

• Uses a custom Groudon mask while competing in the Great Soul Arena as the Dragon of Order. 25
• His physique is described as robust without being overly bulky. 51
• Can conceal or alter the visible color of his Spirit Rings through Zygarde's light-refraction invisibility. 39
• His Indestructible Vajra Body makes his bone age difficult to assess. 46

Personality

Bai Mu is calculating, self-reliant, and highly opportunistic. He values tangible strength, preparation, and freedom of action over institutional loyalty or mentorship. His refusal to join Skywater Academy, despite his affection for the Shui family, stems from his belief that his future plans would endanger them. 28

He often presents himself as polite, generous, and composed while concealing strategic motives. He paid for Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing at Shrek's entrance examination to build goodwill, manipulated Dai Mubai through Whale Rubber, and used Substitutes to carry out plans without exposing himself. 40 41 46

Despite his pragmatism and vindictive streak, Bai Mu shows genuine regard for a limited circle of people, particularly the Notting Academy Dean, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Shui Yunxin. 27 31 33

Abilities & Skills

Zygarde

Bai Mu possesses Zygarde, an intelligent mutated External Martial Soul capable of acting independently in battle. Zygarde evolved from a planarian-like form into its 10% Dragon Dog Form after gathering Cells. 6 7 16

• Is presented as capable of affecting even powerful domains and divine-beast auras. 7 19
• Does not meaningfully endanger Bai Mu or Zygarde due to their telepathic connection and ability to adjust their attacks. 7

Photosynthesis and Sunlight Meditation Technique

Zygarde's photosynthesis enabled Bai Mu to develop the Sunlight Meditation Technique, overcoming his Level 1 Innate Soul Power disadvantage. 5 8

• Sustained his unusually rapid early cultivation, allowing him to reach Level 10 in three years. 8
• Supports Bai Mu's long-term cultivation rather than functioning as a direct combat technique. 2 8

Jungle Healing

Bai Mu's first Spirit Skill originated from a Spirit Epiphyllum Jade Lotus and resonated into Zygarde's signature move, Jungle Healing. 12

• Heals targets and restores stamina and Soul Power. 12
• Can be deliberately weakened to conceal its full effectiveness. 12
• Healed every opponent injured during Bai Mu's confrontation with Xue Beng's group. 18
• Can be used directly by Bai Mu as well as through Zygarde. 14

Substitute

Bai Mu's second Spirit Skill, acquired from a 5,000-year Mirror Shadow Beast Spirit Ring, creates an exceptionally realistic duplicate. 30

• Can communicate with Bai Mu telepathically and follow mental commands. 30
• Possesses roughly one-quarter of Bai Mu's combat strength. 30
• Costs approximately one-quarter of Bai Mu's maximum Soul Power and stamina. 30
• Can block attacks and deceive opponents regarding Bai Mu's real location. 30 56
• Bai Mu can perfectly control one Substitute, control two with reduced precision, and loses effective control beyond that because of his Spiritual Power limit. 32

Roar of Time

Bai Mu's third Spirit Skill came from a ten-thousand-year Tusked Time Hunter Spirit Ring. He replaced Temporal Penetration through resonance with Dialga's exclusive move, Roar of Time. 36

• Allows Bai Mu to perceive and manipulate time. 36
• Has effects compared to the Tusked Time Hunter's Time Domain. 36
• Represents Bai Mu's first documented ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring. 36

Relationships

• Zygarde / Xiao Ruan — Bai Mu's intelligent External Martial Soul and closest combat partner; they communicate telepathically and coordinate in every major battle. 6 7 16 36
• Tang San — Former Dorm Seven roommate and sparring rival. Bai Mu defeated him at Notting Academy, later maintained a friendly facade, and sought his knowledge about cultivation meridians. 8 10 13 40
• Xiao Wu — Former Dorm Seven resident. Their relationship is playful on the surface, though Bai Mu privately views her as a future target connected to Tang San. 6 45 51
• Yu Xiaogang — Would-be mentor whom Bai Mu repeatedly rejects; Bai Mu mocks Yu Xiaogang's failure to advance beyond Level 29. 4 33
