Background

Li Jiuxuan was born in a remote village outside Four Elements City. At six, he awakened the Ice Dragon King, a supreme beast martial soul whose potential surpassed the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon, along with Innate Full Soul Power. His original ambition was to attend a Soul Master Academy, become strong, and provide for his parents. 1

The Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan sought to seize him and suppress knowledge of his martial soul. Their proposed “admission” required that he never reveal his martial soul, never marry without permission, register as a slave, and serve direct-line heir Yu Tianxin. When Li Jiuxuan's parents refused, the clan murdered them and massacred the village to eliminate witnesses. 1

While fleeing through the winter snow with severe injuries, Li Jiuxuan was captured by Yu Qingquan and two accompanying Soul Elders. He swore that, if he survived, he would annihilate the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan. Shui Bing'er intervened before Yu Qingquan could kill him, froze the pursuers, and healed Li Jiuxuan with a pill. 1 2

After recovering enough to move, Li Jiuxuan killed the three men responsible for his village's destruction. He shattered the two frozen Tool Soul Elders with ice-infused punches, then used a fallen blade to kill Yu Qingquan. 3

Shui Bing'er brought him to Skywater Academy. Although Headmistress Shui Yuerong initially rejected his presence because the academy accepted no male students, she reconsidered after witnessing the Ice Dragon King's overwhelming manifestation. Li Jiuxuan was permitted to remain for three years under restrictive conditions, including a future obligation to protect the academy for thirty years should he become a Title Douluo. 4 5

Following Skywater Academy's transformation into Skywater Sect, Shui Yuerong allowed Li Jiuxuan to remain indefinitely despite the sect continuing to accept only female disciples. 27 29

Appearance

Li Jiuxuan is a small, slender six-year-old boy with a youthful face and bright eyes. During his initial escape, he wore only a thin gray tunic and bore a fifty-centimeter gash across his chest. 1

• Approximately 1.35 meters tall. 8
• Possesses icy-blue, dragon-shaped glints in his eyes after absorbing the Wind-Snow Tyrant Dragon soul bone. 29
• His slight build conceals physical strength capable of competing with higher-level Soul Masters. 7 20

Personality

Li Jiuxuan is resolute, composed, and unusually ruthless for his age. The destruction of his village left him with an intense hatred of the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan and a driving desire for revenge. Even while facing Yu Qingquan's imminent killing blow, he refused to beg for mercy and instead vowed retaliation. 1

He is equally harsh toward himself. After the clan continued pursuing him, he cultivated with extreme intensity, often neglecting food and rest in pursuit of enough strength to survive and protect those close to him. 13

Despite his violence toward his enemies, Li Jiuxuan is loyal and generous toward Skywater's people. He wishes to protect Shui Bing'er, sought a way to help Shui Yuerong reach the Title Douluo realm, and split his share of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to give to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er. 5 14 26 27

Abilities & Skills

Ice Dragon King Martial Soul

The Ice Dragon King is an ice-attribute, attack-type beast martial soul with exceptional bloodline pressure. Its inherent qualities combine power, defense, control, and extreme cold, giving Li Jiuxuan no obvious conventional weakness. 1 8

• Its manifestation can sharply lower ambient temperature and shake surrounding structures. 4
• Its pressure can generate blizzards and freeze an arena environment. 19
• Its bloodline suppresses dragon-type soul beasts and prevented the Wind-Snow Tyrant Dragon soul bone from rebelling during absorption. 28 29
• It grants exceptional physical strength; at level 10, Li Jiuxuan could lift a boulder weighing at least a thousand pounds one-handed. 7
• Its ice attribute naturally provides restrictive, slowing, and freezing effects in addition to offensive force. 8 10

Extreme Cold Ice Blade

Li Jiuxuan's first soul skill was obtained from the Frost Saber-Toothed Tiger. 10

• Creates a massive dragon-patterned ice blade capable of slashing and freezing targets. 10
• The blade was described as roughly thirty meters in diameter upon its first use. 10
• Its attack power also functions as battlefield control through extreme cold. 10

Dragon-Patterned Ice Shield

Li Jiuxuan can form a dragon-patterned ice shield to block incoming attacks.

• Successfully blocked Yu Zigang's second soul skill, Violent Dragon Strike. 20 21

Tyrant Dragon Extreme Speed

A passive left-leg soul bone skill gained from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Wind-Snow Tyrant Dragon soul bone. 29

• Permanently raises Li Jiuxuan's movement speed to an extreme level. 29
• Leaving an afterimage at his point of origin allows him to triple his speed within a thirty-meter radius. 29
• Allows silent movement across snow or through the air. 29
• Enabled him to evade Feng Xiaotian's speed-focused attacks despite a twelve-level soul power gap. 39 40

Tyrant Dragon Destruction Kill

An active skill from the Wind-Snow Tyrant Dragon soul bone, tested against Xue Furong. 29 30

• Greatly enhances Li Jiuxuan's speed and offensive power. 30
• He used it to meet an attack from Xue Furong head-on. 30
• Its use does not erase the vast difference between him and a Soul Emperor; the collision severely injured him. 30 31

Icy Instant Shadow Slash / Ice-Crystal Instant Shadow Kill

Li Jiuxuan's second soul skill, obtained from a 750-year Icy Profound Ice Marten. It is described as Icy Instant Shadow Slash upon acquisition and as Ice-Crystal Instant Shadow Kill during his battle with Feng Xiaotian. 31 41

• Freezes enemies within its effective range. 31
• Temporarily increases Li Jiuxuan's burst power. 31
• Turns him into a streak of light and afterimages for a twelve-hit slash sequence. 31 41
• Each successive slash becomes stronger; the final strike shatters the ice and inflicts heavy damage. 31
• Defeated and knocked out level 34 Soul Elder Feng Xiaotian. 41
