Background / History

Huo Qubing emerged from the tomb of the Champion Marquis as a young ancient cultivator with exceptionally heavy killing intent. Recognized as the historical Champion Marquis who led cavalry deep into the desert and terrified alien races, he immediately pledged himself to Jiang Ran's cause: hunting alien races until his last drop of blood. Jiang Ran accepted him and brought him into Kui. 117

His cultivation had declined after the Abyssal Void's closure, but he retained formidable combat ability and adapted quickly to modern life. After receiving a smartphone from Jiang Ran, he rapidly learned to use it, followed news about the Wisdom King, and became outspoken online. 117 140

Appearance

Huo Qubing is a youthful-looking man with crimson-gold eyes and a bold, energetic bearing. His original armor was replaced with a black tracksuit to avoid drawing attention in the modern world. 117

• Often wears a frost-white Nuo Opera Mask marked by crimson patterns during combat. 145 170
• Has been seen fighting with improvised weapons, including steel rebar and a bamboo broom used as a spear. 119 134
• Was left with an injured, bandaged eye after later battles, though he remained energetic. 184

Personality

Huo Qubing is battle-hungry, direct, and intensely confident in his own combat ability. He does not fear dangerous opponents; instead, he treats them as chances to test himself and improve. During the fight against the Peng Snake, he entrusted the heavenly treasure's protection to Jiang Ran and focused solely on killing the Great Demon. 120 136

Despite his arrogance and sharp tongue, he is practical about survival. He teaches weaker Transcendents to exploit monster weaknesses, conserve blood energy, ambush whenever possible, and prioritize survival over martial honor. 119

He is also eager to recruit capable fighters for Kui, partly because his divine ability requires a large cavalry force to reach its full potential. His confidence in Jiang Ran is unwavering; he willingly drew a Deity's attention away from Jiang Ran because he believed the Wisdom King could kill it. 120 202

Story Role / Major Arcs

Crouching Dragon Mountain

Huo Qubing accompanies Jiang Ran and Fa Qing to Crouching Dragon Mountain in pursuit of the True Dragon's corpse. He assesses the competing factions, supports Kui's alliance with the Qin Emperor's group, and confirms that a monk he killed could not withstand even three of his punches. 120 122 128

Dongshan City Sinkhole

He arranges efficient travel to Dongshan City through a bounty-hunter team, then helps Jiang Ran and Fa Qing reinforce the collapsing defensive line.
