Su Li

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Su Li began as an ordinary office worker on Earth. An accident transported him to the Rod Continent, a world resembling medieval Europe where wizards held supreme power. Dissatisfied with its social conditions, he pursued strength, awakened as a Wizard Apprentice, and secretly studied black witchcraft. With the assistance of Yuan, a conscious chip in his mind, he eventually became the feared Crimson Wizard 1.

His second transmigration occurred during an experiment involving the Eye of Emotion. He arrived on Blue Star in the body of an obscure entertainer also named Su Li. The original owner had debuted because of his appearance but possessed poor acting skills and a weak, unremarkable public presence. Su Li retained his mental power and Yuan’s companionship, although his wizard strength fell to the first level 1 2.

Unlike his relentless pursuit of advancement on the Rod Continent, Su Li initially intended to enjoy modern comforts. Discovering that celebrity attention could strengthen the Eye of Emotion gave him a practical reason to remain in entertainment 1 2.

Appearance

Su Li has a slender build, fair skin, a high nose bridge, long foxlike eyes with slightly upturned corners, and pale-red lips; his new soul gives the body a more striking presence 1.

• Hair: Black and approximately ear-length during his first appearance on Brave Challenge 2.
• Eyes: His most recognizable feature; a fan identifies him despite his mask by his foxlike eyes 69.
• Eye of Emotion: An eerie black-and-red eye-shaped marking on his back, later surrounded by fully blooming floral patterns 2 12 94.
• Bearing: Can appear fresh and innocent in casual clothing, aristocratic in period costume, or cool and alluring in darker outfits 2 42 43 50.

Personality

Su Li is confident, calculating, and fond of provoking reactions for both amusement and power. He readily presents himself as gentle, apologetic, or harmless while concealing his involvement in supernatural events. His public defense against Meng Chichi contrasts with his earlier decision to frighten her for emotional energy; he later admits to amplifying Liu Jinjian’s anger until the man loses restraint 7 11 23.

He values usefulness and loyalty rather than conventional morality. He rewards capable subordinates, recognizes potential in overlooked individuals, and believes even weak ghosts can have valuable applications. His ruthlessness includes stripping Li Xin of his powers, admitting to killing Fan Xiaolei, and arranging the destruction of the Rot vampire family 12 37 68 80 97.

With people he trusts, Su Li is affectionate and generous. He treats Chen Zhuo as a younger brother and responds warmly when An Hui, Cheng Sirong, and Chen Zhuo accept him despite learning about his supernatural abilities. Around Yuan, he becomes teasing, clingy, and openly eager to be pampered. Food, milk tea, and cats reveal a gentler side rooted in his first life 13 34 55 57 86.
