Xiangli Yao

Xiangli Yao is the young Principal Investigator at Huaxu Academy, renowned for his exceptional expertise in Automata Mechanics and various research fields. Despite his prestigious lineage as the son of two brilliant scientists, he has forged his own unique path in the world of research and innovation. Xiangli Yao embodies a gentle yet rational nature, balancing brilliance with humility. Unlike his parents who devoted themselves entirely to pure and applied sciences, he chose a different path—one that values human connection alongside scientific pursuit. He's known for his natural eloquence, generosity, and dedication to helping others, often creating gadgets and inventions for friends and colleagues. Born into Jinzhou's celebrated Xiangli family, he grew up in the shadow of his father's theoretical genius and his mother's life-saving applied research. Rather than accelerating through academia as expected, he deliberately chose to experience a normal school life, valuing friendships and everyday experiences. His defining moment came when he discovered ancient Court of Savantae ruins, where he faced a choice between pursuing ultimate knowledge and returning to help his community—he chose the latter, losing his arm but gaining clarity about his purpose.
