Background

Zhao Tianxing was originally a hunter. Before joining the Seven Star Gang, he had hunted tigers and leopards and faced the danger of hunting exotic beasts to earn money for cultivation resources. This experience gave him a strong physical foundation and notable skill with a bow. 13 19

He joined the Seven Star Gang alongside Chu Fan and studied the Twelve Forms Boxing under Cao Feng. Cao Feng immediately considered him the new disciples’ most likely candidate to reach the Nurturing Blood stage first, owing to his hunter’s physique, aptitude, and ability to grasp the forms. 9

Personality

Zhao Tianxing is energetic, sociable, and highly competitive. He enjoys attention, openly discusses his cultivation goals, and is often surrounded by fellow recruits, yet remains sincerely focused on becoming stronger. 7 15

His confidence is tempered by jealousy and insecurity when Chu Fan progresses beyond him. He initially envied Chu Fan’s rapid advancement, but later regretted this attitude and worked to become a more dependable friend. 17 40 70

He is persistent in combat and training. Even after Chu Fan repeatedly defeats him in sparring, Zhao Tianxing studies his shortcomings, changes tactics, and insists on continuing. 31 32
