Bear Child

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Bear Child was born with a Supreme Bone, which was forcibly removed shortly after his birth. His parents ventured into a deadly region seeking a way to save him and subsequently disappeared from his life. In the Ancestral Land, A Man cared for him during his frail childhood; he later credited her with keeping him alive 449 487 495.

Raised in Stone Village, he developed extraordinary strength despite losing his innate bone. By his own account, he was already hunting powerful Desolate Beasts at two years old. His childhood diet included beast milk, which he continued drinking even while adventuring outside the village 441 453 478.

The supplied chapters inconsistently use Shi Hao for both Bear Child and his double-pupiled rival. The early encounters name the rival Shi Hao and place Bear Child’s stolen Supreme Bone inside him, while Bear Child later explicitly declares, “Now my name is Shi Hao” 447 448 449 495.

Appearance

Bear Child is initially depicted as a small, lively, adorable boy with a childish voice. During the Hundred Broken Mountains expedition, he wears animal skins from head to toe 442 450 479.

• Small stature: His youthful appearance repeatedly causes strangers to underestimate him 453 477 523.
• Childish presentation: He openly drinks beast milk and is once teased for having two trails of snot hanging from his nose 445 453.
• Golden wings: A pair manifests from his back when he activates his flying technique 458.
• Little Tower: Carries the protective treasure in his hair during the Heaven Mending Sect invasion 492.

Personality

Bear Child is exuberant, boastful, and eager to explore. Leaving the Great Wilderness delights him, and he readily challenges opponents who appear much stronger than himself. He also has an enormous appetite, treating even a dangerous beast’s stolen cub primarily as potential food 442 443 450.

His mischief can be reckless and abrasive. He steals treasures, taunts opponents, and repeatedly calls women “fat” regardless of their actual build. After he brings home a cub whose parent could threaten Stone Village, Ye Xingchen warns him that the village cannot withstand the consequences of such behavior 443 445 450 451.

Alongside that unruliness, he shows gratitude and fierce loyalty. He rescues a Celestial Human Race man without accepting repayment, embraces A Man as an older sister, and refuses to abandon the Heaven Mending Sect during its invasion. Learning the truth about his stolen bone turns his desire for strength into a focused pursuit of revenge and self-improvement 477 487 490 495.

His response to the Foreign Race’s enslavement of his people is particularly severe. After discovering thirty captives whose souls are damaged beyond recovery, he kills them to end their suffering and weeps afterward. At the genius tournament, he fights to avenge both enslaved cultivators and those killed in earlier wars 515 519.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Leaving Stone Village

Bear Child’s early adventures with Ye Xingchen involve hunting Desolate Beasts, stealing a dangerous cub, and escaping its enraged parent. Their encounter with his double-pupiled rival exposes the connection between that youth and Bear Child’s missing Supreme Bone. Afterward, Bear Child asks for stronger sparring partners, and Ye Xingchen offers to take him beyond the village 443 445 447 448 449.

On the road, he defeats bandits and rescues the disguised Huo Ling’er from a playboy. She joins the pair as their guide toward the Heaven Mending Pavilion 450.

Heaven Mending Sect and the Fire God Weapon

In the Void Secret Realm, Bear Child acts as bait in a robbery targeting a silver-robed Born Supreme. He taunts the youth from behind a barrier while Ye Xingchen and Huo Ling’er prepare an ambush 453.

After acquiring his flying technique, he fights two Inscription Realm enemies and enters the Heaven Mending Sect Academy with his companions. During the Fire God expedition, he wields the Fire God Weapon against Witch; later, he helps fight black-armored attackers seeking Ye Xingchen’s Fire Spirit Sword 458 459 460 465 467.

Hundred Broken Mountains

Separated from his companions upon entering the mountains, Bear Child collects golden-patterned bones and clashes with Witch over their ownership. His six grotto-heavens reveal the results of Ye Xingchen’s cultivation advice 474 475.

He subsequently rescues a Celestial Human Race man, reunites with Ye Xingchen and Huo Ling’er, and enters the struggle around Treasure-Dividing Cliff. Further cultivation brings him to nine grotto-heavens before another confrontation with his rival 477 479 480 482 484.

Learning the circumstances of his bone’s theft and his parents’ disappearance deeply affects him. Rather than immediately pursuing his rival again, he settles into cultivation and tells Ye Xingchen that he wants to see A Man 487.

Defending the Sect and Returning Home

During the invasion of the Heaven Mending Sect, Bear Child refuses to flee or accept recruitment by its enemies. He fights with his golden wings, spear, and Little Tower, continuing after Wang Ping’s death 490 492.

Ye Xingchen then introduces him to the Virtual Realm, where his record challenges attract the attention of Bird Grandpa and Essence Grandpa. A month later, he returns to the Stone Kingdom, reunites with his grandfather, and rescues A Man. He remains there to confront his rival while Ye Xingchen investigates the Kunpeng Nest 493 494 495 496.

Upper Realm and Foreign Race Territory

Ye Xingchen promises to remain his Guardian of the Dao at least until he enters the Immortal Realm. Bear Child later accompanies Huo Ling’er into the Abandoned Land to find him and travels with them to Celestial Human City after learning of Yun Xi’s imprisonment 501 506 509.

In Foreign Race territory, the enslavement of cultivators from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths drives him to challenge the Hundred Races’ Genius Tournament. He kills multiple challengers, defeats Cang Yu, and holds first place without further challengers for three days 515 519 522 523.

His confrontation with He Wuwei reveals his Ten Grotto-Heavens. After He Wuwei’s death, He Wushuang pursues and overwhelms him, but Ye Xingchen’s blood-red little sword rescues him. Bear Child then receives the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass legacy and fights his way back to the Primordial Imperial City 524 526 527 528.

Reincarnation, Boundary Sea, and the Plateau

Determined to fight alongside Ye Xingchen, Bear Child accepts accelerated cultivation through successive worlds and lives. His training carries him into the Immortal Realm and onward; by the confrontation in the Boundary Sea, Ye Xingchen confirms his Half-Step Immortal Emperor cultivation 531 533 534 541.

Bear Child confronts the three emperors and joins the pursuit into the Heavenly Court ruins, where the Corpse Immortal Emperor awakens. Ye Xingchen addresses him as the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and asks him to seek the Ruins World after becoming an Immortal Emperor 540 541.

After Ye Xingchen severs the eternal ages, Bear Child enters the rift toward the higher realm. Ye Xingchen’s karmic manifestation clears the immediate attackers and instructs him to hold back the eerie beings on the Plateau until his revival. A later account from Yun Xi states that Bear Child defeated every opponent, entered the Weird Land, slaughtered its beings, and brought his companions onward 542 560.
