Background / History
Li Taibai grew up in an orphanage alongside Ling Feng and Ye Fan, where the three were regarded as unusual “outliers.” He wore a washed-out long robe and was seen using a tree branch to write on the ground. 10
His awakening of the Green Lotus Sword and Sword Immortal Wine Gourd made him a sought-after genius. Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong competed to recruit him and the other gifted children, while Golden Crocodile Douluo promised cultivation resources and a route toward becoming a Titled Douluo. 12 Li Taibai ultimately became Qian Daoliu’s personal and final disciple, receiving a spatial Soul Tool as a meeting gift. 13 Li Taibai and Ye Fan subsequently exchanged a competitive look, establishing an early rivalry. 13
Li Taibai is a transmigrator whose Favorability System accompanied him into the Douluo Continent. He initially bound Qian Daoliu and used the System’s check-in function to obtain points. 13 After consuming Whale Rubber, Li Taibai absorbed his first spirit ring and became a level 13 Spirit Master. 14 He later became recognized with Ling Feng and Ye Fan as one of Martial Soul Hall’s “Three Heroes.” 33
His twin Martial Souls are considered comparable in combination to a God-tier Martial Soul. While the Green Lotus Sword supplies his offensive power, the Sword Immortal Wine Gourd provides auxiliary support and exceptional endurance. 39
Appearance
Li Taibai was initially described as a boy in a faded, washed-out long robe, often carrying a tree branch for writing. 10
By the time he formally met Qian Renxue, he wore a moon-white long robe, a primitive longsword at his waist, and a wine gourd stopped with red cloth. He was described as handsome, with an uninhibited bearing and blade-sharp eyes. 30
- Recites poetry upon making his entrance. 30
- Carries himself with confidence and composure before powerful figures. 12
- Rode ahead of Qian Renxue’s imperial carriage during the journey to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. 41
- Is widely known among Martial Soul Hall students as “Sword Immortal Li Taibai.” 32
Personality
Li Taibai is ambitious, calculating, and highly attentive to opportunities for advancement. He pursues resources, points, wealth, and favor from Qian Renxue, often treating information and other people as tools for his objectives. 40 48 54
He can be flattering and manipulative, such as when he used an ancient text about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to encourage Qian Daoliu’s participation in an expedition. 40 He also attempted to secure advantages from Qian Renxue by asking to learn her Inch Burst technique and later requesting additional Magic Tools before undertaking a mission in Slaughter City. 40 220
His conduct toward enemies is notably cruel: he advocated psychologically destroying Tang Hao rather than killing him outright, humiliated Tang San, blackmailed Tang Hao, and later tortured the injured Tang Hao. 47 54 107 110 During the conflict with Shrek, he helped prepare hallucinogenic drugs for a nighttime raid and used threats to coerce Tang San’s group. 201 205
Despite his arrogance, Li Taibai recognizes overwhelming strength. He acknowledged Qian Renxue’s power during her battle with Tang Hao and warned Hu Liena against offending Qian Renxue. 32 44 Although he remains fiercely competitive with Ling Feng and Ye Fan, he is willing to cooperate with them when their interests align. 36 112

Story Role / Major Arcs
Recruitment and rise among the Three Heroes
Li Taibai’s twin-Martial-Soul awakening placed him at the center of the Worship Hall–Pope Hall recruitment dispute. 12 He chose Qian Daoliu as his teacher and became the Grand Elder’s final disciple. 13 He later rose alongside Ling Feng and Ye Fan, acquiring a third soul skill and joining them against Qian Renxue. 36
Li Taibai subsequently revealed the Green Lotus Domain during a second confrontation with Qian Renxue, though the Three Heroes were again decisively defeated. 39 Qian Daoliu’s response to their performance was to increase their monthly cultivation resources. 40
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well expedition
Li Taibai supplied Qian Daoliu with information from an ancient book concerning the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, helping set the expedition in motion. 40 His real motive included gaining a share of the well’s resources and taking advantage of Qian Daoliu’s support. 40 At the well, he assessed the fortune surrounding Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Tang San, then traded information and loyalty for Qian Renxue’s pills and favor. 42 48
Conflict with the Tang family and Shrek
Li Taibai exploited Tang Hao’s vulnerability by demanding a spirit bone or severed finger in return for the Blue Silver Emperor’s safety. 54 Years later, Tang San recognized him as the person who had crippled him at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. 105 Li Taibai subsequently toyed with Tang San, tortured Tang Hao after his defeat, and fought Tang San again during the larger conflict. 107 110 214
During the Soul Master Tournament confrontation, he displayed eight soul rings, including a hundred-thousand-year red ring, and deployed the Green Lotus Domain to suppress Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain. 212 216 He received a fourth-tier jade sword tassel from Qian Renxue after the tournament, substantially strengthening the Green Lotus Sword. 219
Schemes under Qian Renyou

Pact of God Slaying
Li Taibai joined Qian Renxue, Ling Feng, and Ye Fan in a secret agreement to slay gods and seize divine thrones. Qian Renxue promised each of the Three Heroes one Seed of Divinity, while retaining the remaining Seeds for herself. 112
Slaughter City mission
