|---|---|---|
| Innate Full Soul Power / Rank 10 | 1, 3 | Awakened the Summoning Grimoire and initially possessed one contract slot, occupied by Dark Qian Renxue. Even without a Soul Ring, borrowing her Dark Six-Winged Angel brought his physical strength to the level of a Rank 20 Beast Soul Master. 1 3 |

| Rank 60 / Awaiting sixth Soul Ring | 239 | Reached Rank 60 after his Silver Summoning Grimoire absorbed excess Sea God's Power, while his right-hand bone evolved into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. 239 |
Background
Jiang Li is a transmigrator who read Douluo Continent in his previous life. His knowledge of future events, characters, and valuable opportunities informs his decisions from the beginning. He awakened with Innate Full Soul Power and the ancient bronze-book Martial Soul known as the Summoning Grimoire. 1 2
At his awakening, a black angel phantom appeared and Dark Qian Renxue became attached to his Martial Soul. Jiang Li recognized her as an alternate Qian Renxue born from the Angel God Trial, as well as a future Angel God inheritor and Level-99 Limit Douluo. 1 2
He rejected Yu Xiaogang’s attempt to take him as a disciple, refusing to become a test subject for Yu’s theory about a 423-year first Soul Ring. Jiang Li openly challenged Yu Xiaogang’s lack of practical strength and concluded that his theories had been validated only by already exceptional students. 1 2
Jiang Li hunted his first Soul Ring alone in the Soul Hunting Forest. A near-fatal ambush by a Mottled Tiger checked his early overconfidence, but he killed the beast by climbing onto its back and striking it with the borrowed power of the Dark Six-Winged Angel. He then safely absorbed its Soul Ring inside the Summoning Space. 4 5 6
At the Icefire Yin Yang Well, Jiang Li consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, then endured the well's ice-and-fire energies. The process evolved the bronze Summoning Grimoire into the Silver Summoning Grimoire, remade his body to Soul Sage-level durability, and awakened the Iceflame Wings as his second Martial Soul. 52 54 55
Personality
Jiang Li is independent, skeptical of authority, and strongly pragmatic. He values demonstrated results over reputation, which defines his hostility toward Yu Xiaogang and his refusal to join Shrek Academy under pressure. 1 11 36
His foreknowledge makes him calculating and opportunistic. He seeks powerful contractors, rare resources, and politically useful conflicts, while avoiding efforts he considers inefficient. He delayed his third Soul Ring for Whale Glue, targeted Soul Masters with exceptional potential, and planned to exploit Tai Long’s death to incite conflict between the Clan of Strength and Shrek Academy. 6 16 39 40
Although initially overconfident, Jiang Li can recognize a genuine power gap. After injuring Zhao Wuji, he acknowledged that he could not defeat a serious Soul Sage directly and chose indirect retaliation instead. 4 38
He is also manipulative and coercive when pursuing his goals. He exploited Xiao Wu’s uncertainty about her mother to secure a contract, imprisoned Zhu Zhuyun until she agreed to sign, and used Charm and poison to turn Tai Long into a disposable pawn. 8 26 39 40
Following his advances at the Icefire Yin Yang Well and the resurrection of Qian Renxue, Jiang Li became more willing to reveal his exceptional strength publicly. He openly displayed his Ten-Thousand-Year fourth Soul Ring, challenged powerful opponents, and rejected prestigious recruitment offers in favor of leading his own team. 82 83 227
His confidence remains tempered by strategic caution against opponents beyond his present realm. When Tang Hao attempted to kill him, Jiang Li used the confrontation as a diversion, relying on Invincible Golden Body, the Icefire Domain, and the Summoning Space to survive rather than attempting to defeat the Title Douluo directly. 166 168
Abilities & Skills
Silver Summoning Grimoire
Jiang Li’s Martial Soul was originally an ancient bronze book with three core functions: summoning, contracts, and space. It records information about his contractors and lets him call upon their Martial Souls. Following his absorption of Icefire Yin Yang Well energy, it evolved into the Silver Summoning Grimoire. 2 3 54 59
- Initially possessed one contract slot, occupied by Qian Renxue. 3
- His first Soul Ring added another contract slot and expanded the Summoning Space. 6
- Can summon contracted individuals from their pages in the Grimoire. 31
- Can contract both Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, provided the target signs willingly. 3
- Its evolution increased its contract capacity from four slots to twelve. Since Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing share one slot because of their linked mutation, Jiang Li gained nine available slots at the time of the evolution. 59
- Can simultaneously summon and use two contracted Martial Souls rather than only one. 59
- Can strengthen a borrowed contractor Soul Skill with the age and power of his own corresponding Soul Ring, although the Soul Power expenditure rises accordingly. 151
Borrowed Martial Souls
Through Spirit Avatar, Jiang Li can merge a contracted Martial Soul into his body and use its attributes and Soul Skills. 3 6
- If a contractor is weaker than him, Jiang Li can borrow all of their power.
- If a contractor is stronger, he can only use power equivalent to his own level. 3
- His first Soul Ring did not grant a unique independent skill; instead, it allowed him to use the Soul Skills belonging to contracted Spirits. 6
- After the Silver Summoning Grimoire evolved, he could combine the powers of multiple contractors in combat. 59 165
Dark Six-Winged Angel
Borrowed from Qian Renxue, this is Jiang Li’s strongest available Martial Soul. 3 35
- Raises his physical strength to approximately that of a Rank 20 Beast Soul Master even before he obtains a Soul Ring. 3
- Imbues attacks with corrosive dark-element power. 3
- Grants a domain that increases Jiang Li’s attributes by 30% and reduces enemies’ attributes by 10%; its early range is limited to three meters. 3
- Angel Strike — Concentrates dark power into a destructive punch capable of shattering a large tree. 6
- Angel Soaring — Grants flight through the Angel’s third Soul Skill. 18 38
Soft-Boned Rabbit
Borrowed from Xiao Wu, the Soft-Boned Rabbit emphasizes flexibility, close combat, mobility, and mental interference. 11 12
- Lets Jiang Li contort and restrain opponents with extreme flexibility. 12
- Allowed him to immobilize Tang San’s arms, preventing the use of Mysterious Jade Hands, Hidden Weapons, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. 12
- Charm — A mental Soul Skill that brings out and manipulates a target’s hidden desires; Jiang Li used it on Tai Long to exploit his ambition to become clan head. 39 40
- Teleportation — Grants rapid short-range repositioning in combat. 177
- Invincible Golden Body — Provides three seconds of absolute defense against attacks below the god or conceptual level. Jiang Li used it to withstand Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer. 166 168
Earthly Origin Civet
Borrowed from Zhu Zhuqing after the evolution of her Netherworld Civet, the Earthly Origin Civet specializes in speed, reactions, claws, and corrosive black Soul Power. 27 35
- Grants rapid, cat-like movement and heightened reactions. 35
- Earth-Origin Hundred Claws — More than doubles Jiang Li’s attack speed through repeated claw strikes. 35
- Jiang Li can stack adhesive, corrosive black flames on a target through repeated attacks, then detonate them remotely. 36
- Its speed and unpredictability, combined with his External Soul Bone, enabled him to ambush and capture Tai Long before he could activate his Martial Soul. 39
Heavenly Origin Civet
Borrowed from Zhu Zhuyun after her Netherworld Civet evolved, the Heavenly Origin Civet combines strength-attack power with the original Civet’s agility. 27 43
- Heavenly Origin Thrust — Turns Jiang Li into a streak of white light for a high-speed piercing attack. 43
- Used to instantly incapacitate Xue Beng’s support-type subordinate before defeating the remaining attackers. 43
- Its white Soul Power possesses restorative properties that can rapidly heal Zhu Zhuyun’s injuries. 28
Emerald Jade Phosphorus Dragon
Borrowed from Dugu Yan after the evolution of her Jade Phosphor Venom Serpent, the Emerald Jade Phosphorus Dragon is an Eastern five-clawed dragon Martial Soul that retains and magnifies her poison-control specialization. 82 83
- Emerald Poison Mist — Produces poisonous emerald mist that retains paralysis effects while gaining substantially greater poison potency. 82
- Jiang Li shaped the poison mist into a dragon that overwhelmed Yu Tianheng’s lightning attack and into poison arrows that defeated him. 82 83
Nine-Headed Dragon Slash
Borrowed from Meng Yiran after her Serpent Cane evolved, the Nine-Headed Dragon Slash is a dragon-patterned weapon Martial Soul with both close-combat and remote-control forms. 158 161
- Can manifest as a dark green-black longsword for direct combat. 158
- Can separate into nine telekinetically controlled flying daggers that alter their paths according to the wielder's thoughts. 158
- Jiang Li used its first Soul Skill with the power of his Ten-Thousand-Year fourth ring to destroy Zhao Wuji's tracking attack. 165
- Its third Soul Skill can restore a shattered blade into eight additional blades, allowing all nine blades to attack simultaneously. 165
- Its compatibility with Meng Yiran’s Eight Spider Lances allows its future power to threaten far stronger opponents. 165
Fire Dragon
Borrowed from Liu Erlong, the Fire Dragon provides Jiang Li with potent fire-element power. 168
- Fire Cloud Art — Jiang Li combined the Fire Dragon's ultimate fire with the Fire Dragon King-origin power within his Iceflame Wings to clash directly with Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer. 168
Iceflame Wings
Jiang Li awakened the Iceflame Wings as his second Martial Soul after the Silver Summoning Grimoire redirected the Icefire Yin Yang Well's energy through his shoulder blades. The crystalline wings bear red-and-blue dragon patterns linked to the residual power of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King. 54 55
- Possesses an ink-gold Divine-Level Soul Ring, created from the Icefire Dragon Kings' residual power and believed to equal or surpass a million-year Soul Ring. 54 55
- The Divine-Level Soul Ring was initially beyond Jiang Li’s ability to activate directly, but steadily enhanced his spiritual power and provided the foundation for the Icefire Domain. 55 70 76
- Icefire Domain — Creates a domain of extreme ice and fire that can neutralize hostile domains, influence elemental power, and greatly accelerate plant growth. 76 168 207
- Jiang Li can reverse the Icefire Domain’s life-promoting effect to decompose Immortal Herbs into purified medicinal essence. 90
- After absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Heavenly Pearl, the Iceflame Wings gained a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. 179
- Dark Demon God’s Fury — A direct offensive technique combining wind, lightning, and strength attributes. Jiang Li used it to kill the more than 70,000-year Blazing Azure Wolf King in a single strike. 179 183
- Evil God’s Gaze — Freezes a visible target for three seconds and corrodes the Soul Power used to resist it; it can only be used once per day on the same target. 179
- Its third Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Skill de-ages targets into their childhood forms without reducing their actual power. 180
Contracts and Martial Soul Evolution
Jiang Li’s contracts alter both his combat options and his contractors’ circumstances. Contracted individuals can see and interact with Qian Renxue’s soul-form, unlike ordinary people. 9 31
- Contracting Xiao Wu absorbed the hidden power of her transformed Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast body into the Grimoire.
- Xiao Wu can recover portions of that power as Soul Rings whenever Jiang Li advances through Soul Power realms. 15
- Contracting both Zhu sisters caused their Netherworld Civets to evolve unexpectedly:
- Zhu Zhuyun — Heavenly Origin Civet, Twin Civet. 27
- Zhu Zhuqing — Earthly Origin Civet, Twin Civet. 27
- Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Venom Serpent evolved into the Emerald Jade Phosphorus Dragon after contracting Jiang Li and refining the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss. 70 82
- Meng Yiran's Serpent Cane evolved into the Nine-Headed Dragon Slash immediately after she signed the Silver Summoning Grimoire. 158
- Jiang Li’s self-contract awakened the Silver Summoning Grimoire’s Resurrection ability. 60
- A contractor who has established a deeper intimate connection with Jiang Li can, once per day, enhance one of their Soul Skills with the power of Jiang Li’s highest-age Soul Ring at their own Soul Power cost. 151
Resurrection
Resurrection is a Silver Summoning Grimoire ability awakened after Jiang Li contracted himself. It can restore deceased contractors at the cost of a major Soul Power reduction. 60 71
- Jiang Li used the Icefire Yin Yang Well within the Summoning Space to resurrect Dark Qian Renxue. 62
- Qian Renxue returned with her physical body and nine Soul Rings, but her Soul Power fell to Rank 89, sealing her ninth Soul Ring until she recovers. 62
- Dugu Yan’s contract provides her the same resurrection safeguard, although the loss of ten Soul Power levels remains the stated price. 71
Summoning Space
The Summoning Space is a storage-like internal dimension within the Summoning Grimoire that can contain living beings. 4
- Its apparent landscape is vast, but early on only roughly ten square meters are physically real; most of the scenery is illusory. 4
- Expands as Jiang Li’s Soul Power grows and may eventually develop into an independent world. 4
- Provides a secure place to absorb Soul Rings, conceal allies, store valuables, and evade threats. 5 13 31
- The Silver Summoning Grimoire’s evolution created an Icefire Yin Yang Well inside the space, allowing Jiang Li to transplant Poison Douluo’s Immortal Herb garden in its entirety. 53 58
- Cultivation inside the evolved space is doubled, while Jiang Li and his contractors receive a lesser cultivation boost even outside it. 59
- Jiang Li can establish three external spatial coordinates for teleportation from the Summoning Space. 59
- Contractors can enter and leave freely, though they cannot bring other living beings with them. 59

- The fusion combines their Martial Souls and Soul Rings into power greater than either could achieve alone. 37
- Consumes Soul Power rapidly, requiring a swift conclusion. 37
- Jiang Li combined the Twin Civet’s attack with Golden Supreme Claw, severely injuring Zhao Wuji and shattering his right arm. 38
Physical Strength
Jiang Li’s physical constitution has repeatedly exceeded the normal limits of his realm.
- Whale Glue strengthened his body before he absorbed his third Soul Ring. 16 17 24
- The Icefire Yin Yang Well repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt his body, granting him physical strength comparable to Soul Sage Zhao Wuji by Rank 40. 54 55
- His enhanced constitution enabled him to absorb a 60,000-year fourth Soul Ring, a more than 70,000-year fifth Soul Ring, and multiple high-level Soul Bones. 76 183 239
- He defeated Zhao Wuji in a rematch with only two moves after reaching the four-ring realm. 165
Equipment / Items
- Golden Dreadclaw Bear External Soul Bone — Enhances Jiang Li’s right arm and provides the Golden Supreme Claw attack. 33 38
- Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone — Obtained from Ah Yin's former hiding place after Jiang Li diverted Tang Hao. Its regenerative ability can restore even severed limbs and significantly reduces the Soul Power burden of the Icefire Domain when used with nearby Blue Silver Grass. 168 173 176
- Hundred-Thousand-Year Right-Hand Soul Bone — Jiang Li’s second Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, formed when the remaining Sea God's Power transformed his right-hand bone. 239

- Immortal Herbs — Jiang Li transplanted Poison Douluo’s complete herb garden into the Icefire Yin Yang Well within his Summoning Space, giving him continued access to rare cultivation resources. 58 59
Relationships
- Dark Qian Renxue — First contractor and soul-bound companion. She provides Martial Soul power, Soul Master knowledge, training, reconnaissance, and frequent teasing; Jiang Li treats her as both a powerful ally and a close confidante. After his Resurrection ability awakened, he restored her physical body, though she returned at Rank 89 rather than her former peak. 2 3 12 15 62
- Xiao Wu — Second contractor, a transformed Ten-Thousand-Year Soft-Boned Rabbit. Jiang Li secured her contract through information about her mother; she becomes attached, dependent on him to regain her power, and openly jealous of his other companions. 8 9 15 23

- Dugu Yan — Contractor whose Jade Phosphor Venom Serpent evolved into the Emerald Jade Phosphorus Dragon. Jiang Li cured the poison within her body with his Icefire Herb-derived blood and selected the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss to strengthen her poison-control path. 49 70 71 82
- Ye Lingling — Contractor and wielder of the Nine-Star Glazed Begonia. Jiang Li first protected her from Xue Beng, later gave her the Eight-Petal Orchid, and supported her after her Nine-Heart Begonia evolved into a healing Martial Soul capable of curing physical, mental, and soul-related damage. 41 43 90 203 204
- Meng Yiran — Contractor and partner. Her Serpent Cane evolved into the Nine-Headed Dragon Slash after she signed the Silver Summoning Grimoire; Jiang Li later guided her in obtaining a Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring and the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone. 158 161 163
- Ning Rongrong — Initially antagonistic prospective contractor and heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Her consumption of Aromatic Silk Beauty evolved her Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, making her increasingly aware of Jiang Li’s value to her sect. 195 203 204
- Liu Erlong — A contracted ally whose Fire Dragon Martial Soul Jiang Li can borrow. He used its ultimate-fire power in his escape from Tang Hao. 168
- Tang Yuehua — Close ally and partner whose Wishful Ring Martial Soul is among the domain-capable powers Jiang Li can borrow. She assists his political connections in Heaven Dou and trusts him with matters involving Tang Hao and Ah Yin. 168 173 207
- Yu Xiaogang — Hostile rival. Jiang Li rejected him as a master and repeatedly attacks the credibility of his Soul Master theories. 1 2 11
- Tang San — Rival and ideological opponent. Jiang Li defeated him at Notting Academy, countering both his Tang Sect techniques and Hidden Weapons. Jiang Li later declared his intention to kill Tang San, prompting Tang Hao to regard him as a threat to be eliminated. 11 12 166
- Zhao Wuji — Enemy created by the Shrek Academy conflict. Jiang Li escaped after seriously injuring him, then began arranging a proxy conflict between Shrek and the Clan of Strength. After his subsequent growth, Jiang Li defeated Zhao Wuji’s Mighty Vajra Bear Avatar in two moves. 34 38 40 165
- Tang Hao — A hostile Title Douluo who attempted to kill Jiang Li because he considered Jiang Li an obstacle to Tang San’s future. Jiang Li survived their confrontation, distracted him, and used the opening to obtain the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. 166 168 173
- Da Ming and Er Ming — Xiao Wu’s Soul Beast protectors. Jiang Li used Xiao Wu as leverage to compel them to locate a precisely 3,000-year Soul Beast for his third Soul Ring. 20 23
- Hu Liena — A Spirit Hall prodigy Jiang Li rescued from the Blazing Azure Wolf King. His protection, subsequent victory, and successful absorption of the Wolf King’s Soul Ring leave her deeply impressed and increasingly attracted to him. 181 183 187
- Shui Bing’er and the Skywater Girl Group — Tournament opponents and prospective contract targets. Jiang Li showed particular interest in their Martial Souls and deliberately fought the entire Skywater Team alone to observe their tactics and trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 227 229 230
- Blue Silver Emperor / Ah Yin — A weakened Blue Silver Emperor plant Jiang Li discovered near Holy Soul Village. He transplanted her into his Summoning Space, attempted to contract her, and uses the Icefire Domain to accelerate her recovery. 173 207
