Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Li Yuan is a transmigrator who grew up alone and poor. At Notting Academy, he repeatedly refuses Yu Xiaogang’s attempts to take him as a disciple. He later rejects Yu’s offer of a place at Shrek Academy, arguing that lifelong Soul Ring choices should not be made for a temporary team’s needs 1 12.

The delayed activation of the Douluo World Specialty Exchange and Mutual Aid Group makes Li Yuan its leader. He invites members, distributes rewards, and uses the group to exchange information and resources. He initially conceals that the seemingly all-powerful Group Leader is the Notting student his fellow members know in person; Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling eventually work out his identity 1 78 85 125.

After leaving Notting, Li Yuan travels with Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and later Wang Dong. At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a close-combat victory over Yu Tianheng earns him the Second Team captaincy. He subsequently leads the team to victory over the Iron Wolf Team 90 119 121 142.

Appearance

Li Yuan is a striking young man with white hair and crimson eyes. His appearance attracts attention when Xiao Wu shares a photograph of him in the group chat 32.

• Hair: White 32.
• Eyes: Crimson, also described as scarlet 32 93.
• Companion: Ah Bai can appear outside his body, from a small snake to a giant python 6 58.

Personality

Li Yuan is irreverent with people he distrusts, particularly Yu Xiaogang, and enjoys turning group-chat revelations into dramatic performances. He also makes extravagant claims about his own exploits to protect his identity; his account of a cosmic battle with the “Three Ghosts of the Huang Family” is an excuse to avoid Qian Renxue’s video call 1 10 12 89.

In a fight, he favors preparation and leverage as well as direct strength. He displays an Angel pendant to deter Tang Hao, relies on Ning Rongrong’s standing during a dispute at Shrek, and coordinates with her support abilities against Qin Ming. He can also be considerate: he spares Yu Tianheng further humiliation after winning their spar and encourages Wang Dong to build strength before seeking revenge 33 92 121 131 115.

Abilities & Skills

Ah Bai and serpent Soul Skills

Ah Bai begins as Li Yuan’s Little White Snake Martial Soul. After swallowing a Nine-Colored Seed, she develops an awakened Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline; she can leave his body and assume a giant python form 1 3 6 58.

• Wind attacks: Her evolved Bad Wind fires Wind Blades that shred Tang San’s binding vines. Wind Rises and Clouds Surge generates a powerful gale 34 58.
• Devouring Destruction Kill: His third Soul Skill fires a corrosive beam. Once it injures an opponent, it can drain their Soul Power and feed it back to Li Yuan 88.
• Bloodline pressure: Her giant form suppresses Dugu Bo’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul 148 149.

Golden Light Incantation and movement

Li Yuan receives the Golden Light Incantation as a group reward. Its golden protection repels Tang San’s hidden weapons, though Dugu Bo’s attack later breaks through it. Li Yuan also practices the Cloud-Ascending Ladder movement technique, which improves his agility and evasion 3 28 34 143.

Soul Bone abilities

• White Snake Origin: Granted by his growable Left Arm Bone. It initially boosts all attributes by 5%; after the bone advances, the boost reaches 35% 27 28 88.
• Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone: Strengthens his leg and vitality, grants lower-cost flight than his Martial Soul’s, and provides “Wildfires Cannot Burn It Out; Spring Winds Bring It Back to Life!” The healing skill can treat grave injuries and regrow limbs, but has strict limits and a high cost 113.

Alchemy

Li Yuan receives an alchemist inheritance through a chat-group upgrade. Under Dugu Bo’s observation, he carefully processes ingredients for a Pulse-Protecting Pill, an Ice Heart Pill, and Clear Spirit Powder, controlling multiple preparations and the Earth Fire at once. The provided account ends before the difficult final shaping is resolved 78 153.

Equipment & Items

• Angel pendant: Displayed to make Tang Hao believe Li Yuan has Qian-family protection 33.
• Soul Tool: Used to carry belongings, including a coat and a Soul Power Boosting Pill 60 88.
• Jade token: Granted by Dugu Bo for access to his Jade Phosphorous Pavilion 148.

Relationships

• Ah Bai — His closely bonded Martial Soul; Li Yuan praises and shows her affection 3 6 88.
• Xiao Wu — A longtime Notting friend who trusts him. Her feelings become apparent when she kisses his cheek after a group-chat misunderstanding about their possible future 7 33 83.
• Ning Rongrong — Friend, teammate, and frequent teasing partner; she supports him in combat and discovers his Group Leader identity 85 93 131.

• Qian Renxue — Receives political advice from him and later confides in him during a long voice call, unaware of the full truth behind his heroic chat persona 46 89 90.

• Yu Tianheng — Becomes a respectful friend after Li Yuan defeats him in a spar and preserves his dignity 120 121 123.
• Dugu Bo — Initially abducts and warns Li Yuan away from Dugu Yan, then grants him access to medicinal resources while assessing his proposed poison treatment 143 144 148 149.
