Background / History

Xia Yi began as an unusually intelligent ten-year fox in the Star Dou Forest. Unlike ordinary young soul beasts, he used traps, deception, and combat timing to hunt prey far stronger than himself. His first meeting with Gu Yue ended violently when he attempted to strike her throat; her survival and his calculated tactics made her suspect that he was hiding extraordinary secrets 1 3.

The Plane Master forcibly transformed Xia Yi into a human child with Innate Full Soul Power. Gu Yue assumed responsibility for him, while Di Tian and Zi Ji subjected him to a month of intensive training supervised by Bi Ji. His ability to immediately learn techniques and infer further applications astonished his trainers, but he remained guarded and refused to reveal his secrets 5 6.

Gu Yue sent Xia Yi into human society through Eastsea City, intending for him to enter Shrek Academy's Zero Class. His assessment against Tang Wulin established his reputation early: Xia Yi defeated Tang Wulin in three moves, seriously injuring him and beginning a long-running rivalry 7 8.

While adapting to human life, Xia Yi pursued blacksmithing through Mu Xi and the Blacksmith Association. He later advanced from Spirit Forging to Heaven Forging, forged divine artifacts such as the Earth Cauldron and Douluo Seal, and was regarded as the likely successor to the Divine Craftsman and Blacksmith Association presidency 109 293 427 496.

His origins remained unclear even to himself. His internal consciousness claimed to come from a higher-order world than the God Realm, while the Plane Master later identified him as a member of the beast race and Gu Yue's husband. After recovering memories of his previous life, Xia Yi returned to his original world and resumed cultivating there 46 444 647 654.

Appearance

Following his transformation, Xia Yi appears as a strikingly handsome black-haired boy with a heavy, grounded aura unusual for his age. As he grows, his long black hair, clear eyes, slender frame, and refined bearing often lead strangers to mistake him for a gentle scholar despite his physical strength and unruly behavior 5 105.

  • Long, lustrous black hair, usually tied behind his head in later years 105.
  • A face described as exceptionally beautiful, even compared with Zi Ji and Bi Ji 5.
  • A solid, weighty presence that contrasts with his youthful appearance 5 7.
  • Eight snow-white fox tails during Martial Soul Possession after his later evolutions 443 570.
  • A Dark Phoenix tattoo on his arm that can manifest as a phoenix flame 46.
  • Platinum One-Word Battle Armor with a crown containing Gu Yue's silver dragon scale 200.

Personality

Xia Yi is intensely suspicious, observant, and self-reliant. His first ten years of survival in the Star Dou Forest taught him to trust no one fully, including Gu Yue, Di Tian, and the other fierce beasts. He studies people closely, prepares for failure before entering a scheme, and prefers to turn an opponent's plans against them rather than avoid confrontation 6 10 130.

He is also vain, playful, and frequently shameless. Xia Yi openly praises his own appearance, mocks opponents, and uses underhanded methods when he considers them effective, including laxatives during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament 7 121 310. His casual attitude often conceals careful planning and a strong sense of self-preservation.

Despite his ruthlessness, Xia Yi is capable of genuine gratitude and guilt. He saves Mu Xi after a car accident, heals her injuries and scars, and initially lets Tang Wulin receive the credit. He later admits remorse over using Mu Xi to learn about humans and over deceiving people who sincerely trusted him 39 130 432.
