Background
Su Li is a transmigrator who retained memories from a previous life and inherited the unusually high attributes of his game character. He had arranged his character’s martial souls in that game, only for both to awaken after he grew up in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. 1 2
At six, Su Li awakened the Pure Jun Sword with innate full soul power. He also possessed the Space Blade, a second martial soul whose existence was initially concealed from ordinary sect disciples. Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong recognized him as an exceptional sect talent and offered to direct his cultivation. 2
When Ning Fengzhi raised the possibility of a childhood betrothal to Ning Rongrong, Su Li respectfully deferred the matter until they came of age. He chose to cultivate the Pure Jun Sword before the Space Blade, seeking offensive strength to protect the sect. 3
Under Chen Xin’s guidance, Su Li rapidly developed sword qi, acquired his first soul ring in Sunset Forest, and created a self-developed soul skill while still a Soul Master. He later entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Ning Rongrong. 14 22 24
Su Li later realizes that several girls retain fragmentary memories of the routes and futures associated with his previous-life game. He also identifies the special game-derived constitution he gave himself: intimate contact with him can dramatically accelerate compatible girls’ cultivation, though it does not provide him with the same direct benefit. 86
Appearance
Su Li is repeatedly described as exceptionally handsome and refined, with a temperament that makes him conspicuous even among other gifted children. His appearance regularly attracts admiration and unwanted attention. 1 25
- Possesses star-like eyes and an aura compared to that of an immortal. 2
- Began as a six-year-old boy at his martial soul awakening. 3
- Grew into a graceful young man during his years at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. 47
- Reached a height of roughly 180 cm by the advanced-class period. 47
- His growing reputation and appearance make him a focal point of attention among students from Heaven Dou, Blazing Fire, and Skywater Academies. 59 63
Personality
Su Li is calm, restrained, and exceptionally focused on cultivation. He ignores gossip and romantic pressure when it conflicts with his priorities, preferring to spend his time practicing swordsmanship or meditating. 1 4 8
He is disciplined enough to maintain a daily goal of ten thousand sword swings, then cultivate soul power at night. He values practical strength, accepts dangerous opportunities when he judges his physique capable of enduring them, and remains modest after displays of exceptional ability. 14 22 38
Despite his detachment, Su Li has a clear moral boundary. He intervenes when Power Clan members attempt to seize an ordinary woman and objects to Ning Rongrong’s habit of imprisoning people. 10 16
He also values independence in relationships. He declines an early betrothal to Ning Rongrong and later states that he prefers love to develop freely rather than through an arrangement. 3 46
Although he initially keeps emotional distance from the girls pursuing him, Su Li eventually accepts that he wishes to form freely chosen relationships with multiple women rather than bind himself to a single arranged partner. 46 86
Abilities & Skills
Twin Martial Souls
Su Li possesses two martial souls of comparable quality: the sacred, light-aligned Pure Jun Sword and the space-type Space Blade. 2

- After reaching level 50, he began formally training the Space Blade under Gu Rong’s instruction. 72
Space Blade and Spatial Techniques
Su Li’s Space Blade grants him exceptional control over spatial energy even before he formally begins cultivating it as his second martial soul. Gu Rong is astonished that Su Li has independently developed applications beyond conventional spatial techniques. 12 72

- Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling also experience abnormally rapid cultivation after contact with him. 28 32
