Background

Li Xuancang rose from a conscript to a Battle Soldier through battlefield merit. Although Wang Tianshan encouraged him with promises of advancement, Li Xuancang refused to offer blind personal allegiance; he regarded his gains as the result of risking his own life. 5

He survived a near-fatal encounter with Demon Hounds, awakening after three days to learn that his entire squad had been wiped out. Wang Xiaoniu and his brother carried him back from the battlefield, and Li Xuancang remembered the debt of gratitude. His unusually robust physique allowed him to recover most of his wounds within three days. 8 9

His early military rise was rapid: he became a Five-Man Leader, earned promotion to Squad Leader after burning Barbarian grain supplies, and was later elevated to Battalion Commander and Thousand-Man Commander. Zhao Changlin, Wang Xuanshan, and Zhou Xingzhan each recognized his battlefield value and supported his advancement. 9 23 58 75
