Background / History

Lin Dabao is the young master of Bao Zhi Lin Trading Company, a merchant organization whose branches extend across Huaxia. His wealth, connections, protective treasures, and access to cultivation resources distinguish him from most Elite Camp trainees. His father knows Director Du Yufei, while his grandfather later personally delivers resources that hasten Dabao’s advancement. 52 53 176

He first meets Lin Mo at the South Province Military Base, immediately introducing himself with his usual overfamiliar enthusiasm. He takes a genuine interest in River City rather than looking down on Lin Mo’s countryside background. 27

Before the Elite Camp assessment begins, Dabao recognizes that the apparent “Heretic” attack is part of the test. He tells Lin Mo to stay close, breaks through the bus window during the staged ambush, and leads him toward the forest. 30

Dabao subsequently recruits Xiao Ya, Chen Jia, and Liu Peipei into Lin Mo’s party. Lu Li had arranged for Dabao to be present and instructed him to recruit the three girls into Lin Mo’s team. 31 32 85

Appearance

Lin Dabao is a chubby, round-faced youth whose plump build routinely causes opponents to underestimate him. Despite his appearance, he moves with surprising speed and agility in combat. 27 30 221

• Frequently called “fatty” or “Pipi Pig” by Xiao Ya. 33 53
• His Earth Element power can cover his body in a yellow defensive glow. 34
• Lin Mo once electrocuted him as a joke, leaving his hair standing up like porcupine quills. 33

Personality

Dabao is outgoing, talkative, and shamelessly familiar with strangers. He can speak at length about almost any topic, earning a reputation as a knowledgeable “know-it-all,” though his boasting regularly invites ridicule from Xiao Ya. 29 39 61 169

He initially prefers food, leisure, and showing off to serious cultivation. After seeing Lin Mo and his teammates advance, however, he refuses to be left behind and becomes far more diligent. 65 68 169 176 251

Behind his comic arrogance, Dabao is perceptive, pragmatic, and courageous. He recognized the Elite Camp assessment’s true nature, selected unusually capable teammates, restrained himself when conflict abroad could endanger Earth, and repeatedly put himself in danger to protect others. 30 33 242 198
