Okay so, it's a long story.

Li, Shuwen originated as an assassin. That is somewhat historically correct in a way that he started out mastering the chinese martial arts, in terms of fist fighting. Assassin is supposed to be his "normal" summon form. Lancer Shuwen is also very capable, like the biography says.

Now, historically, the name "Wu Er Da" (No Second Strike) is more a nickname that's granted to him when he was solely practicing the fist fighting techniques and dueling other martial artists. Supposedly, the style of fist fighting techniques from Baji that he developed would put other martial artists out of commision very quickly, as soon as the fights begin. And that's where the name came from.

And when he's summoned as a lancer, the techniques stayed. And ergo the name stayed. It's essentially a style of fighting technique that he possess. In that regard, it is similar to "Shooting Hundred Heads"/[Nine Lives] (射殺す百頭) by Heracles. Think of it like that.
