Background / History

Bai Lan was found on the mountain behind Shenhun Village by Old Jack and raised on food supplied by the village. He did not know his parents and intended to repay the village once he became strong enough. At age six, he awakened innate full Soul Power and the Contract Book Martial Soul. 1

His first contract was a ten-year Guzhu, which he immediately evolved into a hundred-year Iron Core Bamboo. The contract established the foundation of his combat style: shared physical reinforcement, regenerative support, and remote bamboo-leaf attacks. 2

Bai Lan enrolled at Shrek Academy at age six. After revealing the Contract Book's capabilities to Elder Mu, he was tested in a spar against Bei Bei. He endured for an incense stick's duration by adapting his attacks around Bei Bei's defense, earning Elder Mu's praise and the academy's attention. 6 7

Yan Shaozhe placed Bai Lan on Shrek's priority cultivation list, supplied him with Soul Gathering Pills, and arranged a six-month plan to reach level 20. Bai Lan completed the goal exactly on schedule through relentless training and the reciprocal Soul Power feedback of his Contract Beasts. 8 9 10

His exceptional growth later led Elder Mu to place him alone on Shrek's Super Sequence talent list, with unrestricted resources, direct guidance, and practical training. 16

Appearance

Bai Lan is a silver-haired boy with a notably handsome appearance and an extraordinary bearing despite his plain clothing. 1

• Silver hair. 1
• Initially entered Shrek Academy at six years old. 5 6
• Commonly carries or summons the golden-glowing Contract Book. 5 6

Personality

Bai Lan is disciplined, strategic, and unusually composed for his age. He treats cultivation as a necessity rather than a shortcut, training through exhaustion to meet the goals he sets for himself. 8 10

In battle, he observes defenses, adjusts his approach, and favors tactical solutions over direct confrontation. During his spar with Bei Bei, he used regenerated bamboo leaves to attack from multiple blind angles after recognizing that a frontal assault could not break through. 7

He is independent in his ambitions. Bai Lan declined Tang Ya's invitation to join the Tang Sect because he intended to walk his own path rather than attach himself to another faction. 22

Unlike most human Soul Masters, Bai Lan regards his Contract Beasts as partners and family rather than tools or combat assets. His concern that Qingzhu might fall behind the others drove his search for a same-origin fusion target. 46 58
