History
Li Shan initially doubts Ling Han’s application to teach at Nouding Academy: the applicant claims to be an eighteen-year-old Level 76 Soul Saint. After Ling Han displays his seven Soul Rings, Li Shan apologizes and offers him the position of honored patron. The post carries the academy’s highest status and no regular duties; in return, Ling Han promises to help if the academy faces serious trouble. Li Shan arranges a residence and an office beside his own for him 3 4.
The residence is a detached, villa-like dormitory building with several rooms. One of its spare rooms later accommodates the Snow Empress when Ling Han brings her to the academy 4 20. Li Shan also publicly declares that Ling Han outranks him, ensuring that the academy's staff treat the honored patron with deference when he personally arranges Tang San's enrollment 5.
When city lord Xiao Gang demands that the academy answer for Tang San’s beating of his son, Li Shan refuses to intervene on Tang San’s behalf or against him: Tang San is Ling Han’s disciple. He is visibly relieved when Ling Han arrives to handle the confrontation 11. Later, Li Shan witnesses Ling Han emerge from his breakthrough to Titled Douluo and congratulates him. Ling Han’s rise from Soul Saint to Titled Douluo in three years astonishes him 27.
Before that breakthrough, Li Shan witnesses Tang San beating Yu Xiaogang and struggles over whether to intervene. Ling Han appears beside him without being detected and places a hand on his shoulder, startling him. After Ling Han assures him that Tang San will not kill Yu Xiaogang, Li Shan sighs helplessly and returns to his office, pretending not to have seen the incident 22.
Ling Han's breakthrough destroys the academy's Back Mountain, prompting Li Shan to hurry there after the ground shakes. He finds the mountain reduced to rubble and Ling Han floating above it with nine Soul Rings. When Ling Han lands, Li Shan trembles from fear and the faint pressure the newly advanced Titled Douluo is unconsciously emitting. Ling Han notices his discomfort and restrains his pressure 27.
Ling Han then thanks Li Shan for looking after him and Tang San over the past three years and announces that they will leave. Li Shan responds that the academy is the party that benefited from Ling Han's presence: news that a Soul Saint served as its honored patron has attracted many new students, even without extensive publicity 27.
Relationships
- Ling Han — Li Shan appoints him honored patron and treats him with deference, valuing the protection he offers the academy 3 4. He publicly establishes that Ling Han's status exceeds his own. When Ling Han leaves, Li Shan credits his presence with increasing the academy's enrollment over three years 5 27.
- Yu Xiaogang — A friend of Li Shan’s. Li Shan steps between him and Ling Han to calm their confrontation, and later hesitates before allowing Tang San’s beating of Yu Xiaogang to continue on Ling Han’s assurance that it will not be fatal 4 22. Yu Xiaogang subsequently leaves Nouding Academy for Shrek Academy after Ling Han takes Tang San and Xiao Wu away 29.
- Xiao Gang — The Nuoding city lord confronts Li Shan over his son’s injuries. Li Shan remains cordial at first, then rebukes him for trying to impose his authority on the academy 11.
