It's hard to imagine Lu Li not being skilled in combat.
Or in fighting.
The last time Lu Li fought was in a ridiculous showdown with Richard in the dreamscape of the slumbering Ancients.
So, having the same physique as a Ghoul Warrior, there's no reason Lu Li could defeat it or go down together with it.
Unless he uses the Cursed Title.
Then how about using mimetic ability to ascend from a Ghoul Commoner to a Ghoul Warrior?
There's no need to become an upper-tier Ghoul Leader. Ghoul Warriors range from 1.7 meters to 2.5 meters; this Ghoul Warrior was slightly stronger than a commoner but only under 1.8 meters, seemingly malnourished. Lu Li would just need to become taller, stronger than it.
But doing so requires giving the Ghoul Sorcerer a reasonable explanation: why a Ghoul Commoner can quickly ascend to a Ghoul Warrior and then enhance further.
