It's probably bc in the novel, there's a scene where he lifts a giant statue with just one hand, and there's more of an emphasis on Lans in general having ridiculous arm strength. Which tends to get interpreted as him being swole as hell.

He is also pretty built in S2 of the donghua, although it's not to like. bodybuilder proportions. But he does have some wiiiide shoulders.

Personally, my feelings are that he's a cultivator with magic powers so why can't he be super strong and also more of a twig? Maybe his muscles are like. magically super dense or extra efficient or something idk. Martial arts built muscles tend to look leaner anyway.
Also Yibo was perfect in every other way, so I'm fine with him not being super built.

Or...able to bridal carry Xiao Zhan...I mean that would have been cute but I'd rather he not cripple himself either so...

I assumed the basis for his strength was the cultivation, too. IIRC in one of the additional chapters of the novel, he holds up a roof shed for like...hours? To protect villagers during a storm, and they don't believe he can do it until he actually does it. To me, that suggests he's not Mr. Universe. I'd expect (at best) someone who's lean and more wiry. But I wouldn't change a single thing about Wang Yibo, so...
