Background / History

Li Hai is a transmigrator who awakens the Study Hard system after arriving in an unfamiliar cultivation world. The system lets him inspect personal interfaces, learn a target’s techniques immediately, and use Stronger Fragments to force upgrades. His earliest confirmed copied martial art is Guo Huaijin’s Tiger Claw Blade Fist, which he comprehends in full upon learning it. 2 3

Captured by Guo Huaijin, Li Hai studies Guo Shiwen’s Blood Devouring Burning Heart and upgrades the inherited bloodline ability to its potential limit. He then maxes Tiger Claw Blade Fist, reaches Force-Body Circulation, and confronts Guo Huaijin as an equal in martial skill and realm. 4 5

After acquiring ghostly powers, Li Hai continues collecting techniques across Orthodox Martial Arts, Ghost Dao, Bloodline Divine Abilities, and the Way of Arts. He activates the Guiyou Grotto-Heaven through the Naihe Token, gaining storage and etherealization functions tied to an imprint on his left palm. 7 24 32

His rise eventually brings him into Great Jing’s Demon-Slaying Division. Feng Heyue identifies him as a possible successor, while Li Hai uses the Division’s libraries, personnel, and competitions to broaden his foundation, establish a faction, and become Junior Military Governor. 101 106 109 110

Appearance

Li Hai’s appearance changes repeatedly as his cultivation systems evolve. His early physique becomes larger and more inhuman through physical cultivation, while later technique advancements give him an ethereal, androgynously beautiful appearance. 21 155

• Completion of the Iron Barrel Bell-Coiling Manual leaves him taller, jade-skinned, and bald. 21
• After maximizing techniques learned in Blade Soul Valley, his bulky frame becomes lean; his skin turns jade-white, his hair becomes glossy black, and his facial features become extraordinarily refined. 155
• In his cybernetic evolution, he grows from 1.8 meters to 2.8 meters and develops a heavily muscular body made from advanced Relic City materials. 362
• His Super Saiyan forms feature immense musculature, long golden spiked hair, blazing light, and electric radiance. 432 452

Personality

Li Hai is initially calm, adaptable, and quick to assess dangerous power dynamics. Even while captured by Guo Huaijin, he conceals his system, studies available abilities, and waits for an opportunity to reverse the situation. 2 4 5

He values breadth of knowledge and survival over purity of practice. He learns even low-level martial arts because every additional move may be useful in a dangerous world, and he patiently waits for favorable conditions before fusing techniques. 18 40

Li Hai openly pursues strength, wealth, status, comfort, and personal enjoyment rather than ascetic ideals. He is also highly ruthless toward enemies and perceived threats, as shown by his treatment of Lang Yunsheng and his willingness to curse Keqing and Shan Xiuxiu. 69 77 119 294

Despite his destructive capacity, he later sets himself a personal boundary against accidentally killing good people. 311
