Meng Shenji

Biodata

Background / History

Meng Shenji is one of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's senior leaders. He recognized Bai Yi's extraordinary potential after investigating his unrecorded tool martial soul, level-20 Soul Power, and two thousand-year soul rings at only eight years old. He regarded Bai Yi as a major opportunity for the academy's future standing against rival academies and Spirit Hall. 4

After Bai Yi defeated Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, Meng Shenji formally admitted him to the Heaven Dou Class and offered him accommodation and direct assistance at the academy. 6

Personality

Meng Shenji is highly responsive to exceptional talent, but his enthusiasm is tempered by caution. He is repeatedly alarmed by Bai Yi's willingness to enter dangerous forests alone, vanish for extended cultivation, and confront forces such as Spirit Hall. 10 14 25

He is also pragmatic in handling Bai Yi's unusual circumstances. When Bai Yi presented four supposed clan members as teammates, Meng Shenji accepted the explanation rather than probe further, concluding that Bai Yi belonged to a hidden and powerful clan. 27
