Background / History

Li Xuansheng is the Li Family's young master and designated future heir. Before the events at Skywood Village, he was already a Level 49 Soul Ancestor with the Divine Phoenix Halberd, a mutated top-tier martial soul. He had also continuously tempered his body through physical training, medicinal baths, and foundation-strengthening treasures since awakening his martial soul at age six. 1 9

During the investigation of the Skywood Village massacre, the Qiu Family ambushed his party. Gu Yi, the Li Family's Level 87 protector, burned his soul power to delay Qiu Wanhe and allow Xuansheng to flee. While surrounded in Blackwood Forest, Xuansheng's memories of a past life as an archaeologist resurfaced, and he awakened the Douluo Summoning System. He used its beginner summoning card to call Chen Jianjun, who rescued him and killed Qiu Wanhe. 1 2

Xuansheng recovered Gu Yi's remains and those of the fallen guards, swearing that their deaths would be avenged. The crisis and his grief became the catalyst for his breakthrough to Level 50. 2 3

Personality

Li Xuansheng remains composed under extreme pressure. When left alone against Qiu Family Soul Sages, Soul Emperors, and Soul Kings, he suppressed his grief to assess the situation, use the system's scouting function, and search for a way to survive. His past-life experience is specifically noted for giving him sharp observation and logical thinking. 1

He is ambitious and willing to take calculated risks. He chose to absorb the 21,000-year Blazing Azure Luan soul ring despite the danger because of its compatibility with the Divine Phoenix Halberd and its potential to transform his strength. He accepted the risk only after explaining the advantages of his physical foundation and martial soul. 9

His caution extends beyond battle. After detecting Ye Qi's extraordinary potential and Fortune's Blessing, he chose recruitment rather than hostility. Later, he questioned the Qiu and Xie families' apparently easy retreat and brought his suspicions directly to Li Yunming. 11 43 44

Abilities & Skills

Divine Phoenix Halberd

Li Xuansheng's primary martial soul is a mutated, top-tier halberd martial soul marked by golden-red flames, sharpness, and powerful offensive force. Even at Level 49, it allowed him to repel a charging Soul King and fight through enemy encirclement. 1

• Third Soul Skill — Divine Phoenix Slash: Releases a crescent-shaped flaming slash. It neutralized the high-pressure water attack of a 10,000-year Water-Ring Snake. 7
• Fifth Soul Skill — Azure Luan Heaven-Burning Strike: Compresses soul power into a crimson-gold flaming halberd attack with extreme penetration and explosive power, specializing in single-target kills. 10
• In the defense of Heavenly Phoenix City, he used Azure Luan Heaven-Burning Strike at close range to kill a peak Soul Emperor from Five Poisons Valley. 29

Heavenly Heart Ring

Li Xuansheng possesses the Heavenly Heart Ring as a hidden secondary martial soul. It responds alongside the Divine Phoenix Halberd when his soul power breaks through, but its individual soul skills have not been disclosed. 1 3

Douluo Summoning System

The system awakened when Xuansheng was trapped in Blackwood Forest. It provides summoning points, summon cards, missions, scouting, and the ability to rationalize a summoned individual's identity and bloodline connection to the Li Family. 1 5 13

• Mission rewards: Xuansheng receives summoning points, high-level summoning cards, resources, and other rewards for completing system missions. The Family Defense Battle reward included 2,000 Summoning Points, high-end summoning cards, Divine Artifact Summoning Cards, immortal herbs, and a God-Given Soul Ring. 15 50
