Background / History

Li Junshan was an ordinary Earth gamer and former malatang-shop owner before transmigrating into a strange world. His soul returned through a corpse, leaving him in the body of a boy known locally as Xiaoshan. He discovered a mysterious Spirit Space containing an Alien Queen and countless Xenomorph Eggs, whose creatures he could summon and command. His blood also became corrosive, resembling that of a Xenomorph. 3 43

In Windfire Town, he supported himself by opening a successful malatang stall at Anna's tavern. He met Fate there, acquired an old Summoning Technique manual in exchange for food, and began investigating his summoning potential. 3 4

Meditation later awakened the original body's memories: he was Nicholas, son of Viscount Crowell of the Harriman Family's collateral branch. Nicholas had been abducted, while his family later lost its title and residence to Crowell's cousin, York. 5 20 21

Li Junshan initially struggled to cultivate spiritual force. He instead trained his body intensely and formed fire-element battle qi, reaching Battle Master rank within roughly a month. 6 7 He subsequently used Xenomorph genes and battle qi to hatch, fuse with, and control magical beasts, building a formidable summoned-beast force in the Falling Moon Mountains. 7 10 11

After returning to Floro City, he reunited with his parents, learned of York's role in the family's downfall, and began supporting the household financially. He confronted York and defeated his forces, publicly demonstrating his strength as a summoner. 20 25

Marquis Sweet arranged for him to attend George Academy in Auston City. There, Randolph exposed the flaw in Li Junshan's manual-based training and recognized that he was already a Great Summoner. Duke Aldrich and the Harriman Family then sent him to Blood Canyon, intending to turn his potential into influence for the family. 29 30 34 36

Personality

Li Junshan is resourceful, pragmatic, and highly adaptable. He uses cooking, trade, deception, and negotiation as readily as violence, such as exchanging malatang for a summoning manual and later attempting to win Slanbi's help through food. 4 49

He is protective of people he accepts as his own, particularly Fate and his parents, and rewards loyalty from servants and retainers. 10 21 22 However, he can be impulsive, greedy, and ruthless toward perceived threats. His reckless attack on the Great Water Rhino Beasts costs him a Xenomorph, while in Blood Canyon he deliberately eliminates opponents and seeks to silence future dangers. 9 16 46 47

He strongly resents being controlled by the Harriman Family or treated as a political asset. 35 36
