Background / History

Song Shuhang began as a university student drawn to the romance of sword flight and cultivation manuals. His early cultivation centered on Foundation Establishment, aided by Pharmacist and the No. 1 Group of the Nine Provinces. Even at this stage, he pursued practical martial ability, training repeatedly with Qi and Blood Pills and seeking faster progress toward opening his apertures. 41 104 105

His first killing occurs when he uses Master Tongxuan's flying sword against the long-armed man, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He disposes of the body, recovers Zhao Yaya's phone, and carries the unconscious Zhao Yaya to Pharmacist for treatment. 75

Shuhang's combat style develops around saber techniques rather than swordsmanship. Though he envies sword flight, he recognizes that Ba Sui and ChiXiaoZi's Flame Saber suit him better; his aptitude for saber techniques is later described as exceptionally strong while his swordsmanship talent is notably poor. 261 1530

His cultivation advances unusually quickly, frequently through dangerous accidents, transmissions of power, tribulation experiences, and assistance from companions. His Spirit Ghost once propels him from the fourth to the seventh Dantian in a single surge, causing severe physical side effects. 618

By the later story, Shuhang becomes known across the cultivation world as Ba Song Saint, a figure who inspires fear and awe. He eventually becomes a Heavenly Dao and gives Su Clan's A-Sixteen authority over his Core World and its assets. 2525 3157

Personality

Shuhang is highly adaptable under pressure. Even when turned into liquid, reduced to a head, injured, or confronted by far stronger opponents, he focuses on immediate solutions and experiments with available techniques rather than surrendering to panic. 1208 1987 1988 2351

He is protective of friends, family, and disciples. He risks himself to rescue Gao Moumou, protects Su Clan's A-Sixteen during an attack, provides Chuchu with a cultivation path suited to her constitution, and supports Xiao Cai's development as a cultivator. 294 1839 1383 2548
