Li Ping

Biodata

Background / History

Li Ping serves as Huashan Training Camp's internal affairs administrator. Before the camp officially opens, its intelligent management system forwards Feng Qingmo's requests for Gravity Chamber access and wilderness training to him for review. Though he rejects the dangerous request for solo field training, he authorizes Feng's use of Gravity Chamber No. 1 for ten hours each day after confirming his exceptional progress. 15

He reports Feng Qingmo's advancement to Chief Jia Yi and carries out Jia Yi's instruction to verify the trainee's abilities and arrange Guan Chenglong as his mentor. His administrative workload later becomes significant enough that Jia Yi promises to adjust his duties so he can resume more cultivation. 15 34

Li Ping is an Intermediate War God who has spent years away from the Wilderness Zone due to administrative responsibilities. During a beast tide, an elementary lord-class Tiger Mastiff Dog badly injures his left arm, causing a comminuted fracture; he chooses to recover naturally rather than purchase Water of Life. His left hand later regains partial use. 34 55 56 68

Appearance

Li Ping is first seen as an elderly man in a military uniform. His vigorous voice and calm authority leave a strong impression despite his lack of visible rank insignia. 15

• Elderly appearance. 15
• Wears a military uniform. 15
• Retains a restricted but recovering left hand after his beast-tide injury. 68

Personality

Li Ping balances military discipline with flexibility. He strictly denies Feng Qingmo's premature wilderness-training request, citing the danger of sending a newly qualified martial artist into the Wilderness Zone alone, but makes an exception for the Gravity Chamber once he recognizes Feng's diligence and potential. 15

He is candid enough to acknowledge defeat, practical about his own stalled cultivation, and consistently concerned with Feng Qingmo's safety and future. Over time, his initially formal relationship with Feng becomes more relaxed, culminating in his invitation to be addressed as “Brother Li.” 34 36 40
