Background

After awakening his entry, Ye Li joined the Azure Dragon Gang to find a martial arts hall and keep a low profile. In the gang dormitory, Zhao Yan and Wang Xian treated him kindly, while Li Xi looked down on him for his poor clothing and family background. Ye Li remained composed rather than responding to Li Xi's provocations immediately. 5

His rapid rise began with his breakthrough to the Body Tempering Realm. He punished Li Xi publicly in the Martial Arts Arena, gained core-disciple status, and received a residence in Guangming City's East District. 22 He later became Zheng Tong's personal disciple, elevating his standing above Li Xi within the Li Family's political struggle. 53 54

Appearance

Ye Li was tested at a bone age of eighteen during the Ten Cities Grand Competition. He is frequently associated with white robes, including the blood-stained white robes he wore while confronting the Poison Wolf Gang. 72 95

• His appearance can change through the Luo Character Secret, which split him into three six-year-old incarnations. 349
• He later merged these incarnations into a juvenile body to gain the world's favor and increased cultivation speed. 349

Personality

Ye Li is usually calm, courteous, and difficult to provoke. He initially ignored Li Xi's insults, maintained a polite demeanor among the Ten Cities competitors, and stayed composed even after his rank became public knowledge. 5 97 226

He is relentlessly cultivation-focused. He borrows money for pills, compresses his schedule around training, studies hundreds of manuals, and repeatedly pushes techniques beyond their expected limits. 30 60 81 240 He treats strength as a long-term problem to be solved through experimentation, resource acquisition, and trait optimization.

His pragmatism can become ruthless. Ye Li used a Malicious Heart Pill to interrogate Meng Yan, blackmailed Wei Wanxi with knowledge of her origin, and made strategic use of captured enemies rather than acting purely on emotion. 104 120 136 Despite this, he protects those he considers his own, notably asking Wei Wanxi to survive and grow strong enough to save him from the Dragon Maiden's future possession. 209

Abilities & Skills

Trait System and World-Shocking Wisdom

Ye Li possesses more than ten traits, an unprecedented number observed by the Dragon Maiden. His true core trait is identified as Legendary-grade, though he initially concealed it by claiming to possess an Excellent-grade purple trait. 77 209 267

• World-Shocking Wisdom — A dazzling, multicolored trait associated with the effect One Attainment, Everlasting Attainment. 50 349
• One Attainment, Everlasting Attainment — Allowed Ye Li to resist the Heavenly Road's dimensional reduction when Great Luo cultivators were flattened into two-dimensional text. 354
• Gift of Post-Heaven — Purple trait that transfers enhanced effects between traits of the same tier. 218
• His trait collection includes Swiftness, Blood Fury, Dragon Body, Strongman, White Jade Spirit, Blue Dragon Power Joy, and others. 187 208 243

Azure Dragon Deliverance Method

Zheng Tong passed Ye Li the Azure Dragon Gang's hidden cultivation method after revealing that the gang truly possessed a dragon. 116

• Dragon Blood — Burns blood essence to temporarily increase Ye Li's physique and true-energy intensity; his first test lasted three seconds and left him depleted. 158
• Dragon Joy — Grants 30% of an opponent's physical attributes after Ye Li defeats them head-on. 178
• Blue Dragon Power Joy — Blue trait unlocked after perfecting the method's third level; substantially amplifies his power. 187
• Dragon Source: Inexhaustible — Makes his true qi eternally replenishing after the fifth layer reached perfection. 308
• Dragon Frenzy — Seventh-layer state that amplifies his body's innate five elements; Ye Li selected Purple: Frenzied Dragon Defying Heaven to multiply its divine-treasury effect by 10,000. 349

Movement and Martial Arts

Ye Li develops techniques by breaking them down, practicing them obsessively, and turning perfected arts into traits.

• Star-Shifting Nine-Palace Step — His movement technique, refined through paid sparring, weighted iron rings, and constant practice. 52 60 63
• Indeterminate Direction and Swiftness — Let him change direction unpredictably and overwhelm multiple Poison Wolf Gang fighters with speed. 72
• No-Thought No-Mind Step — Ultimate footwork that allows him to move without interfering with the world, causing attacks to pass through his apparent body. 342
• Chaotic Lolita Fist — A tactical martial art used against Hu Fei; rather than directly harming her, it eroded her compatibility with the Bratty-Girl Dao Fruit. 342
• Eight Extremes Fist — Learned after watching Pei Taoyu demonstrate it once; Ye Li later perfected its Hidden Force chapter. 284 286

Blood, Recovery, and Transformation

• Blood River True Explanation — Mastered version allows Ye Li to manipulate blood in battle and convert spiritual energy into blood to restore himself. 171 177
• Dragon Coil Renewed — Upon death, enters a near-death state and gains a 200% all-attribute increase for one incense stick; it can trigger twice consecutively. 243
• Regeneration — During his Third Transformation breakthrough, his flesh, bones, skin, and dantian re-formed after a True God's attack nearly destroyed both body and soul. 318
• Luo Character Secret — A Nine Secret technique that divides one person into three bodies sharing one mind and power; Ye Li learned it immediately after Jiang Shiyu explained it. 349

Faux-Capital Final-Asset Visualization Method

In the Earth-world arc, Ye Li created the Faux-Capital Final-Asset Visualization Method after adapting to its blood-and-qi cultivation system. He functions as the method's “server,” enabling users to receive cultivation information and borrow Blood Qi Value. 286

• Created the Qi-Blood Bank, which distributed blood-and-qi loans and cultivation methods through a growing network. 287 301
• Used Pei Taoyu as the method's first documented beta tester. 286
• Expanded the network across Tianjin until more than one billion people had connected and practiced martial arts. 301
• Used the network's gathered fortune to fuel his own cultivation and assist other martial artists' breakthroughs. 308 315

Blue Love-Tie Threads

A blue trait Ye Li tested on Hu Fei after overpowering her.

• Induces rapid emotional dependence and escalating favorability toward Ye Li. 346
• Its effectiveness rose sharply because Ye Li held an overwhelming realm advantage over Hu Fei. 346
• Ye Li treated the encounter as an experiment, seeking information about Hu Fei's Imperial Weapons rather than accepting her altered devotion. 346

Equipment

• Jade Belt — Sacrificial Artifact taken from Yuwen Gan; stores items and replenishes Ye Li's qi. 177
• Dingluo Magic Jar — Sentient Imperial Weapon given to Ye Li by Liu Zhiyue. With the Dragon Maiden's intervention, he subdued its spirit, Medicine Luo, and reduced the jar to fist size. 340
• Azure Luo Ruler — Weapon Ye Li carried when preparing to meet the Soul-Shaking Luo Emperor. 340

Relationships

• Zheng Tong — Azure Dragon Gang leader and Ye Li's master. Zheng Tong made him a personal disciple, passed on the Azure Dragon Deliverance Method, and remains concerned about Ye Li's future. 53 116 135
• Feng Yue — Former instructor who guided Ye Li's early cultivation, helped him become a core disciple, and provided cultivation resources such as the Dragon Tiger Pill. Ye Li later rewarded him with pills. 22 25 142
• Li Liang — Loyal servant who supports Ye Li's training, arranges equipment, delivers manuals, and prepares medicinal baths. 52 63 81
• Jiang Xiyue — Ye Li's wife and earliest major romantic partner. She provides resources, receives his cultivation assistance, and remains important to him despite the widening gap in their strength. 139 154 177 232
• Wei Wanxi — A Ji Kingdom cultivator and initially an uneasy ally. Ye Li uncovered her identity, later entrusted her with defeating him before the Dragon Maiden could possess him completely, and openly embraced her after the Southern Region tournament. 120 209 265
• Dragon Maiden — A remnant dragon soul connected to Ye Li's consciousness. She initially intended to possess his body at Grandmaster Realm perfection, but also provides knowledge, protects him at times, and reveals his unusual traits. 209 218 228
• Yun Huanzi — Ye Li's Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect master. He is fiercely protective of Ye Li, warns him about Heavenly Will, and arranges training Beyond the Heavens. 264 267 268

• Pei Taoyu — Disciple and beneficiary of Ye Li's aid in the Earth-world arc. Ye Li teaches her Eight Extremes Fist, makes her the first tester of his visualization method, and helps her gain the power to avenge her family. 284 286 304
• Zheng Leyao — Qi-Blood Bank borrower and later companion. Ye Li gives her cultivation guidance and loans, while she becomes increasingly attached to the power and opportunities his network provides. 289 290 305
• Hu Fei — Luo Emperor opponent defeated through Ye Li's strategy against the Bratty-Girl Dao Fruit. He later uses Blue Love-Tie Threads to force her into emotional dependence while investigating her Imperial Weapons. 342 346
