Huyan Li

Biodata

Background / History

Huyan Li was a direct descendant of the Elephant Armor Sect and reportedly ranked among the top three of its younger generation. He was known for extraordinary physical strength, having allegedly killed a 5,000-year soul beast with one punch. Ning Rongrong described the Elephant Armor Sect’s power-type Spirit Masters as exceptionally durable and dangerous in direct combat, though comparatively slow. 7 17

The system designated him as the second Crisis Summon: a Level 65 Soul Emperor wielding the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul. Its mission required Zhang Mo to kill Huyan Li; failure would accelerate the Dual World Collision by 50 days. Huyan Li’s descent was later moved forward to 24 hours. 6 9

He arrived in the ruins with five strength-type Soul Elder subordinates and began searching for Ning Rongrong. Zhang Mo and Ning Rongrong attempted to exploit Huyan Li’s relative lack of speed with a debris maze, tripwires, and an ambush. 17 20

Appearance

Huyan Li was an imposing, bald, heavily muscled man over two meters tall. He commonly appeared bare-chested, with a coarse voice and yellowed teeth. 20

• Six Spirit Rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black. 11 17 20
• His footsteps were heavy enough to make the ground tremble. 11
• In Diamond Mammoth Avatar, he expanded to over three meters tall, developed tusks, and became covered in a golden diamond-like armored layer. 11

Personality

Huyan Li was arrogant, brutal, and dismissive of opponents he considered weaker. After Zhang Mo’s attacks initially failed to meaningfully harm him, he mocked them as “scratching an itch.” 20

His confidence turned to rage when Zhang Mo continued enduring his attacks, then to fear once his Diamond Mammoth Avatar began to crack under Zhang Mo and Ning Rongrong’s combined assault. 20
