Background / History

Li Shuangmu was raised as the successor of the Li Clan, having been trained from childhood to maintain composure, excel in every area, and never accept being inferior to others. His polished demeanor concealed a more desolate and battle-hardened side. Even during his first days at the university, he treated calmness under pressure as a discipline he had long practiced. 2 12 39

During the early examinations, he demonstrated foresight by marking Yin Kuang with royal jelly and using a one-use Guide Bee to track him through Raccoon City. He initially concealed much of his strength, but openly assumed control when Tang Zhaotian’s actions endangered the class’s collective survival. Li defeated Tang in a single punch, excluded destabilizing members, and established himself as the group’s dominant leader. 28 62 67

He helped form Class 1237’s elite core and repeatedly worked alongside Yin Kuang despite their rivalry. His strategic decisions, battlefield command, and personal strength made him a central figure in the class’s advancement. He later ruled and managed Narnia, gained control of the Student Council, and became one of Eastern Victory’s most influential sophomores. 105 312 671 808

The Marquis Sha Fenghou later revealed himself to be Li Shuangmu’s second uncle by seniority. This family connection brought Li into the Marquis Manor’s power structure, where he was tasked with controlling first-year students and maintaining Eastern Victory’s order. 791

Li’s later actions were shaped by guilt, political pressure, and his inability to reconcile his betrayal of Yin Kuang. His guilt prevented him from condensing an Axis for a time, while his conflict with Yin Kuang escalated from strained cooperation into open hostility. 1032 1038

Appearance

Li Shuangmu is consistently described as a handsome, refined young man with an imposing bearing that contrasts with his slender build. In his sophomore period, he wore white robes, kept his long hair in an ancient-style topknot, and grew a short beard that gave him a more mature appearance. 39 59 808

• Straight posture and a calm, naturally pressuring gaze. 39
• Often carries his family’s sword, first as a rusted nameless blade and later as the Chixiao Sword. 118 1125
• Frequently smokes Marlboros, particularly when troubled or contemplative. 59 62
• His composed exterior can shift into a sharp, aggressive “drawn sword” presence in battle. 171

Personality

Li Shuangmu is controlled, analytical, and highly conscious of collective interests. He is willing to make difficult decisions when survival, points, or unity are at stake, and he expects others to act with the same discipline. He values courage and self-control, treating Qian Qianqian gently after she remains composed during Death’s attacks while responding harshly to Qi Xiaoyun’s complaints. 81

His leadership is rooted partly in pragmatism. He regards unstable teammates as dangers to be removed, threatens those who undermine the group, and later uses lethal force to compel Eastern Victory students into fighting. 62 81 1081

Beneath his polished confidence is intense pride and a deep aversion to betrayal. He admitted that he had destroyed the lives of a former lover and brother who betrayed him, yet later found himself forced toward the kind of betrayal he despised. His eventual despair drove him toward destruction rather than preservation. 773 1165 1255

Abilities & Skills

Swordsmanship

Li Shuangmu is a hereditary swordsman whose combat style emphasizes precision, footwork, deceptive angles, and lethal thrusts rather than raw force.

• Wudang Swordsmanship — His foundational martial art; he uses it with graceful, continuous sword shadows and precise attacks on vital points. 118 132 499
• One Sword Pierces Clouds — A defense-piercing thrust intended to kill with a strike to the heart. 118 457
• Simplified Nine Swords of Dugu — A technique focused on breaking an opponent’s moves and weapon defenses; it allowed him to pressure even Alice’s regenerative body with wounds that would not rapidly heal. 312 561
• Sword qi — Can launch force through repeated sword strikes, cutting apart energy attacks and damaging opponents at range. 492
• Sword intent and Imperial Way — His later sword attacks combine personal presence, devotion to the sword, power of faith, and his understanding of the Imperial Way. 681

Nine Yang Divine Skill

Li’s internal art grants exceptional resilience, mobility, and recovery.

• Cold resistance — Provides increased resistance to cold-attribute abnormal statuses. 118
• Limitation — Even Nine Yang could not initially match Daoist fire qi, as it remained a worldly martial art rather than a mystical Daoist technique. 725

Heart-Based Special Skills

Li’s special abilities reflect his personality, leadership, and self-realization.

Axis and Divine Artifacts

After condensing an Axis, Li could use Source to magnify his attacks and confront other Axis-stage opponents. 1165 1166

• Haotian Tower — Devours Source, lifts enemies into the air, and creates a defensive barrier. Its resistance to Li’s control made it dangerous to use. 1166

• Tang Rouyu — Trusted classmate and co-leader who supported his decisions during the Fate Spa examination and later discussed the team’s dependence on Yin Kuang with him. 81 249
• Qian Qianqian — An admirer who viewed him as her ideal “Prince Charming.” Her delayed blessing nonetheless saved both Li and Yin Kuang during their battle with Ji Xueyong. 133 407
