Li Xuansheng

Biodata

Power Progression

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

After the Family Defense Battle, Xuansheng used the system's rewards to rise rapidly from Soul King to Level 64 Soul Emperor. Rather than treating the sudden power as solely personal advancement, he used high-level summoning cards, artifacts, and resources to restore the Li Family's depleted foundations and high-end combat strength. 51 52 57 58

He subsequently resumed study at Heavenly Phoenix Academy while assisting Li Yuanhui with family administration. His rapid advancement, precise soul power control, and willingness to spar under restrictions made him both an exceptional student and an informal instructor for his peers. 59 67 68 82

At fifteen, Xuansheng joined the inaugural Wenying Pavilion as one of its first six core members. He reached Level 70 through the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Art, upgraded the Douluo Summoning System to Version 3.0, and prepared to obtain a hundred-thousand-year seventh soul ring despite the extreme danger. 87 89

During the Azure Jade Forest expedition, Xuansheng's group killed the 120,000-year Moonlight Heavenly Phoenix. While he absorbed its ring, the 770,000-year Tiger Emperor and two Radiant Tiger Kings ambushed the party. Xuansheng survived successive lethal attacks through his preparations, completed his absorption, rescued the expedition through spatial teleportation, and returned home as a Level 75 Soul Sage. 98 100

Following his return, Xuansheng was entrusted with organizing and commanding the Li Family's team for the Continental Young Elite Tournament. He developed the young team's coordinated training, recruited and cultivated complementary members, and led the family to Blue Moon City to compete against the continent's strongest young Soul Masters. 100 101 103 105 135

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

Xuansheng's ambition is increasingly tempered by responsibility. He regards his rapid cultivation as a means to protect his family rather than a reason for arrogance, contributes rare system resources to the Li Family treasury, and plans for the development of future generations as well as high-level combat power. 58 85 103

He is an exacting but attentive leader. As captain of the Heavenly Phoenix Team, he demands harsh training and careful discipline, yet assesses teammates according to tactical compatibility rather than rank alone. He recognizes the value of support, control, defense, engineering, and battlefield awareness alongside direct offensive power. 101 103 105 111

His caution deepened after the Azure Jade Forest expedition. Although he was willing to pursue a 120,000-year soul ring, he prepared a Moonlight Talisman, Substitute Puppet, Divine Healing Pill, and emergency summoning points, and even asked Li Xuanbei to assume leadership of Wenying Pavilion if he failed to return. 88 98

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

After absorbing the Blazing Azure Luan's soul ring, the halberd underwent a major transformation. Its flames and offensive force became substantially stronger, and its affinity with fire-attributed phoenix soul beasts increased further. 9 10

• Second Soul Skill — Army-Breaking Thrust: Flash: Creates high-speed afterimages and allows rapid short-range repositioning. Xuansheng used it to evade Ye Zhongguan's blade attack and counter from a new angle. 255
• 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
• Sixth Soul Skill — Divine Phoenix Heaven-Burning Strike: Transforms Xuansheng into a divine phoenix for an extremely fast, piercing strike imbued with burning, purification, and anti-darkness properties. It was gained from his 58,000-year God-Given sixth soul ring. 51
• Seventh Soul Skill — Divine Phoenix Avatar: Xuansheng's Martial Soul Avatar, acquired from the 120,000-year Moonlight Heavenly Phoenix. It increases all attributes by 50%, greatly raises elemental and negative-status resistance, permits adjustable size, and can currently be maintained for approximately fifteen minutes. 98
• Xuansheng used Divine Phoenix Avatar against Ye Zhongguan's Sea Abyss Avatar, revealing the extraordinary quality of his hundred-thousand-year seventh soul ring and securing a narrow victory. 255

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

Azure Luan External Spirit Bone

After killing and absorbing the Blazing Azure Luan, Xuansheng obtained and absorbed an External Spirit Bone that manifested as a pair of wings. 9 10

• Azure Luan Wings / Flame Wings: Grants sustained flight and rapid aerial mobility. 10 29
• Blazing Sky Acceleration: Greatly increases flight speed for a short period. 10
• Draws surrounding fire elements while airborne, slightly increasing his fire-skill power and fire resistance. 10
• Its speed boost enabled him to evade a Soul Emperor's poison palm shadows and close the distance for a decisive strike. 29
• The wings enabled Xuansheng to pressure Ye Zhongguan from multiple angles during their Soul Sage-level duel. 255

Moonlight Heavenly Phoenix Right-Arm Soul Bone

Xuansheng obtained a 120,000-year right-arm soul bone from the Moonlight Heavenly Phoenix together with his seventh soul ring. Its moonlight and tidal powers complement his Divine Phoenix Halberd and provide both defense and battlefield control. 98 100

• Moonlight Guard: Creates a shield that grants absolute damage immunity for three seconds; it has a twelve-hour cooldown. 98
• Tidal Control: Manipulates water and moonlight tides for offense, defense, and control. Its range and strength rise with Xuansheng's cultivation. 98

Divine Phoenix Domain

Xuansheng received the Heaven-Bestowed Divine Phoenix Domain upon claiming his Soul King-to-Soul Emperor breakthrough reward. 70

• Reduces Xuansheng's soul power consumption by approximately 60%. 70
• Suppresses enemies' soul power, spiritual power, and related abilities by approximately 30%. 70
• Increases the Divine Phoenix Halberd's power by 30%. 70
• Purifies or suppresses poison, darkness, death, bloodlust, and other negative energies. 70
• Xuansheng uses the domain as a tactical trump card in team exercises, combining its sudden burst with coordinated attacks. 109

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

• Basic scouting: Lets Xuansheng inspect enemies and identify hidden talents, including Ye Qi's Five-Element Elf Emperor awakening, Elf Emperor Bloodline, and Fortune's Blessing. 1 10 11
• Summoning: Has brought multiple high-level combatants into the Li Family, including Chen Jianjun, Li She Long, Li Tianwu, Li Changlong, Li Yunming, and Nangong Yi. 1 5 13 16 17
• Identity rationalization: Alters circumstances so summoned figures are accepted as returning Li Family members or related allies; it was used on Li She Long, Li Tianwu, and Li Changlong. 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
• Version 3.0: Reaching Level 70 upgraded the system with Identity Implantation, which creates plausible identities, memories, and records for summons; Young Prodigy Summoning Cards; improved breakthrough rewards; Family Development Milestone Tasks; and expanded store resources. 89
• Family development: Xuansheng has used the upgraded system to summon and integrate high-level elders, young geniuses, technical specialists, and the returning Strength Clan, building the Li Family's combat, engineering, and administrative foundations. 90 99
• Emergency resources: He retains summoning points and cards as a contingency for dangers that ordinary family resources cannot address. 88 99

Heavenly Phoenix Art

Li Xuansheng cultivates the Li Family's inherited Heavenly Phoenix Art. During the Blazing Azure Luan ring absorption, he used it to guide and refine the soul beast's violent energy rather than let it destroy his body and consciousness. 9

Its core inheritance is later identified as the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Art. Xuansheng used its circulation method to break through the Level 69 bottleneck after prolonged soul power compression and purification, and the technique further deepened the Divine Phoenix Halberd's phoenix-like transformation. 89

Battlefield Command

Xuansheng is an effective battlefield coordinator despite his age. He directs formations during the Azure Jade Forest expedition and identifies weak points in opponents during the siege of Heavenly Phoenix City. 6 7 28 29

• Coordinates closely with Li Xuanbei, combining restraining skills with precise finishing attacks. 7 29
• Targets wounded or isolated high-level enemies rather than confronting stronger opponents directly. 28 29
• Organizes civilian relief, medical support, loss assessment, and wall repairs after the final battle. 50
• Designs coordinated training involving extreme gravity, changing environmental hazards, simulated casualties, rotating formations, and tactical reviews for the Heavenly Phoenix Team. 101 103 105
• Evaluates individual soul skills, personality, battlefield awareness, and team chemistry when selecting tournament members. 103 105 106
• Shares his understanding of command, morale, resource allocation, and teammate management with Dongyue Qi during the journey to Blue Moon City. 118 128
