Background & History

Xia Chuan is Xia Hong's younger brother and initially lives with him and their father, Xia Ding, in Great Xia Camp. He looks up to Xia Hong's approaching Lumberjack Level and longs to see the world beyond the camp, particularly the power and resources of Rogue Camp. 1

When Grotesques threaten Great Xia Camp, Xia Chuan remains curious but follows Xia Hong's caution. During the confrontation between two apparent Xia Dings, he helps Xia Hong test the impostors with a hand axe. The Grotesque captures him afterward and slowly strangles him, an ordeal that drives Xia Hong's resolve to gain strength. Xia Chuan survives when the Small Bonfire burns the impostor. 3 4 5

After the camp's losses, Xia Chuan assists with its move to Cave No. 4. He gives his Frost Beast meat to Xia Hong so his brother can reach the Lumbering Realm sooner, prioritizing the camp's protection over his own cultivation. 6 7

Xia Chuan later trains in Ancestral Long Fist and helps spread knowledge of it among the camp. After receiving Snow Mane meat, he commits to rapid cultivation and eventually reaches the Lumbering Realm. 8 13 16

He joins Xia Hong and Yuan Cheng on expeditions to gather Crystal Fruit, lumber, and Frost Beast meat. During Great Xia's first confrontation with Big Stone Camp, Xia Chuan helps bluff Wang Ming's group into retreating by threatening to notify Xia Ding. 16 17

As one of Great Xia's early Lumbering Realm cultivators, Xia Chuan initially supports concentrating Frost Beast meat among the hunters. After Xia Hong explains the need to strengthen the entire camp, he accepts the collective-focused distribution policy. 28 29

Xia Chuan later notices that Shi Dong recognizes Xia Hong despite having no apparent prior meeting, prompting Xia Hong to investigate Big Stone Camp. He accompanies Xia Hong and Yuan Cheng into the camp, then helps organize the evacuation of its survivors after the Grotesque attack. 46 48 49

Appearance

Xia Chuan is introduced as a young boy with a tender face. 1

• Usually wears fur or animal-skin clothing suited to the endless winter. 2 16
• Carries a stone axe during expeditions after becoming a Lumbering Realm cultivator. 16

Personality

Xia Chuan is openly admiring of Xia Hong and strongly devoted to him. His willingness to surrender his own Frost Beast meat to support Xia Hong's breakthrough demonstrates both trust and selflessness. 1 7

He is curious about the outside world and the threats surrounding Great Xia Camp, sometimes acting with impatience when confronting danger or territorial violations. 1 2 16 However, he can think strategically under pressure: he helps deceive Big Stone Camp's trespassers and later identifies the inconsistency in Shi Dong recognizing Xia Hong. 17 46

Though initially inclined to prioritize the Lumbering Realm hunters' resources, Xia Chuan reflects on Xia Hong's argument and accepts that Great Xia Camp must develop collective strength rather than merely survive. 28 29
