Background / History

Fang Hao meets Lin Ye on registration day at Fenglei Martial University. He invites the newly arrived Lin Ye to try the Virtual Pod, then informs him about the Freshman Cafeteria's limited Tier 2 Beast Meat servings. The two rush to the cafeteria, where Lin Ye obtains the final serving before Zhou Yan arrives to claim it. 67 68

As Lin Ye's roommate, Fang Hao initially spends much of his free time watching short videos rather than training. Lin Ye's diligence gradually affects him: after losing in the Ranking Tournament, Fang Hao begins following Lin Ye for six hours of daily practice despite routinely collapsing on the sofa afterward. 68 77 89

He enters the Freshman Villa Contention Battle in Group 1, only to be surrounded and eliminated within seconds. Though frustrated, he accepts his role as “cannon fodder” and remains to support Lin Ye from the spectator area. 79 82

During the midterm survival exam, Fang Hao joins Lin Ye and Zhou Chong's randomly assigned squad. After personally struggling to kill a Rending Claw Beast, he recognizes the vast gap between himself and Lin Ye. He proposes that he and Zhou Chong secure a defensible cave while Lin Ye hunts alone, allowing the team to place second. 101 106 110 113

Fang Hao later competes in the Regional Rising Star Cup. He passes the preliminaries, learns to avoid being immediately surrounded in melee matches, and reaches the main tournament through the revival round. Although he ultimately falls short of the top ranks, he accepts his limitations without losing his optimism. 199 204 208 217 218

Personality

Fang Hao is sociable, expressive, and relentlessly talkative. He frequently scrolls through short videos, shares campus gossip, exaggerates the danger of his opponents, and uses humor to ease tension. 68 89 128 199

He is also notably self-aware. Rather than recklessly competing with Lin Ye's strength, Fang Hao acknowledges when he is outmatched and prioritizes survival. During the midterm Beast Tide, he correctly judges that hiding with Zhou Chong is more useful than becoming a burden to Lin Ye. 106 110

Despite his tendency to boast or complain, Fang Hao is a loyal friend. He supports Lin Ye before major matches, celebrates his victories enthusiastically, and makes genuine efforts to improve after setbacks. 151 208 216 232 239

Abilities & Skills

Fist Combat

Fang Hao considers his fists more natural and comfortable than the Thunder Blade. Against a dual-blade user in the Rising Star Cup, he maintains a stable rhythm, withstands sustained pressure, identifies an opening when his opponent tires, and wins with a decisive punch. 216

• Fights with steady offense and defense rather than overwhelming force. 216
• Demonstrates improved mental fortitude after earlier tournament losses. 216 218
• Uses patience to exploit opponents' impatience during prolonged exchanges. 218

Thunder Blade

Fang Hao practices the Thunder Blade as an auxiliary weapon skill. By the Rising Star Cup melee rounds, his forms flow together smoothly and he is approaching the Proficiency level. 207 208

• Uses a long blade to defeat an opponent immediately after entering woodland terrain. 208
• Has practical experience hunting ordinary Fierce Beasts with the technique. 208
• His blade skill remains far below Lin Ye's, and he personally prefers fighting unarmed. 207 216

Survival Judgment

Fang Hao is capable of quickly assessing when combat is unfavorable.

• During the midterm exam, he proposes that Lin Ye hunt alone while he and Zhou Chong shelter in a cave, preserving the squad's survival chances. 106
• He recognizes that remaining alive during a Beast Tide is itself a meaningful contribution to team results. 110 113
• After being ambushed in an earlier melee, he changes tactics and immediately seeks cover in a forest during his next match. 204 208

Relationships
