Background / History

Xu Bai awakened the Beast Taming Space martial soul and regained memories from a past life. Unlike a conventional Soul Master, he awakened two Beast Taming talents: Telepathy, which permits communication with living creatures, and the Manual of the Beast God, a handbook-like system within his sea of consciousness. 1 2

The Manual can record Soul Beasts Xu Bai has seen and touched, display their information, reward him with mental power for each record, and consume mental power to deduce evolution paths or cultivation methods. The deduction cost depends on how much he already knows about the target species. 2 4

His first contracted Soul Beast was the Mutated Green-Red Tiger, later named First or Di Yi. Xu Bai used magnetite powder and the Manual's deduction to help it awaken Metal Spirit Power, beginning his path of systematically cultivating contracted Soul Beasts rather than hunting them. 2 3 8

After building an orchard and selling Clear Heart Oranges for income, Xu Bai repeatedly explored the Hengduan Mountain Range to record Soul Beasts and increase his mental power. During one expedition, he and Di Yi killed bandits who had targeted them; Xu Bai was physically sickened by his first experience with killing but ordered the remaining witnesses eliminated. 10 13 14

Xu Bai later relocated from Huangshan City to Qinghe City after intruders and corpses made his former home unsafe. He continued refining potions, expanding his Beast Taming Space, and cultivating Little Blue and Di Yi. 23 25 28

After contracting the Sword Spirit taken from an ancestral grave, Xu Bai was confronted by Sword Douluo and brought to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He joined the sect after negotiating that it would not interfere with his personal revenge against his second uncle. 46 48 50

Personality

Xu Bai is calculating, resourceful, and highly focused on practical growth. He treats knowledge, money, materials, and personal connections as resources to be managed, using his Manual to create cultivation routes that ordinary Beast Tamers could not replicate. 2 10 74

He is willing to deceive, manipulate, and kill when he believes it necessary. He set traps for thieves, toyed with a survivor, and uses calculated misdirection to protect his goals. 14 22 38

Despite this ruthlessness, Xu Bai consistently cares for his contracted Soul Beasts. He reassures them, protects their safety, provides for their development, and treats their contracts as mutually beneficial partnerships rather than enslavement. 5 15 24 107

He also shows concern that Beast Taming could become a profession exclusive to the wealthy, prompting him to consider lowering the cost of its required potions before promoting it more widely. 86
