History

Desert City Map Shop

After being sealed by Queen Medusa, Hai Bodong spent decades living in Desert City as the proprietor of an ancient Map Shop. Although his usable strength had fallen to the Dou Ling level, he retained the battle experience of a Five-Star Dou Emperor and guarded a fragment map connected to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. 67 68

He refused to sell the fragment to Su Yun, leading to a battle inside the shop. Su Yun defeated him, but Hai Bodong agreed to negotiate rather than surrender outright. He required the Sand Mandragora and a Sixth Grade Alchemist possessing a Heavenly Flame before he would provide further assistance concerning the desert's Heavenly Flame locations. 68 69 70

Service Under Su Yun

When Su Yun returned with both the Sand Mandragora and a Heavenly Flame, Hai Bodong revealed the formula for the Pill of Breaking Obstacles, which could remove his seal. In exchange for refining it, Su Yun demanded three years of service; Hai Bodong accepted despite his initial outrage. 82

The first pill restored him only to Two-Star Dou Emperor due to the poor condition of his decades-old medicinal ingredients. Desperate to recover completely, he agreed to serve Su Yun for a further five years in return for a Spirit Recovery Purple Pill. 84

The Spirit Recovery Purple Pill released the Dou Qi he had accumulated during his sealed years, propelling him to Seven-Star Dou Emperor. Hai Bodong ultimately chose to continue following Su Yun because he considered Su Yun talented, trustworthy, and worth betting his future upon. 84 111

Cold Pavilion

Hai Bodong entered the Black Corner Region with Qing Lin and established Cold Pavilion using medicinal pills and resources supplied by Su Yun. He recruited Dou Wang, Dou Ling, and Da Dou Shi experts, gradually turning the organization into a first-rate regional force. 126 150

As Pavilion Master, he managed Cold Pavilion's personnel, intelligence, resources, and external conflicts. He kept Su Yun's identity as the faction's pill supplier secret, introducing him only as “Master Zhang.” 163

Cold Pavilion defeated the Blood Sect, Eight Gates, and Kui Wolf Gang during the battle in which Hai Bodong killed Fan Lao and claimed his Sixth Tier Magic Core spear. 173 176

Breaking the Inner Demon

Hai Bodong returned to the Tagor Desert specifically to challenge Queen Medusa, whom he regarded as his inner demon after she had sealed him for decades. Fighting at an elemental and environmental disadvantage, he pushed his self-created Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar beyond its previous limits. 185 187 188

His technique evolved to Earth Tier Low Grade during the battle, allowing him to defeat Medusa before collapsing from exhaustion. The battle also pushed him close enough to the Dou Zong bottleneck that he urgently sought a Sect Breaking Pill. 188 189

Dou Zong and the Central Plains

After reaching Dou Zong, Hai Bodong's status made him a target for alliances, including Han Feng's attempt to enlist him against the Black Emperor Sect. Hai Bodong remained cautious, consulting Su Yun before accepting any arrangement. 203 238 239

He later defeated Yun Shan on Misty Cloud Mountain while holding back, demonstrating the gap between their newly attained Dou Zong realms. 269 270

Following the destruction of Cold Pavilion, Hai Bodong continued accompanying Su Yun to the Central Plains. He accepted that his role had shifted from a leading powerhouse to handling business, errands, and the group's daily affairs, but remained loyal to Su Yun's cause. 252 398

Appearance

Hai Bodong is an aged man with white or silver-white hair and an elderly face. While first encountered, he appeared frail enough to seem unable to withstand a gust of wind, concealing the aura and experience of a veteran powerhouse. 67

• Pale brows and a weathered, aged appearance. 89 104
• Silver-white hair that lost some of its former luster during the Jia Ma Empire crisis. 325
• Usually manifests ice-blue Dou Qi Wings or an ice-attribute spear in battle. 84 187

Personality

Hai Bodong is proud, combative, and intensely conscious of his reputation. He seeks opportunities to challenge old rivals, openly boasts after breakthroughs, and takes particular satisfaction in defeating Jia Xingtian, Yun Shan, and Queen Medusa. 111 128 269

His pride is balanced by practical judgment. After losing to Su Yun, he negotiated rather than acting recklessly; when Han Feng approached him with an alliance, he declined to commit before consulting Su Yun. 69 239

He is loyal once he has made a decision. He honored his agreement to serve Su Yun, managed Cold Pavilion on Su Yun's behalf, and continued supporting the group even after recognizing that Su Yun and the others would eventually surpass him. 84 150 330

Hai Bodong also possesses a smug, theatrical streak. He frequently laughs loudly after victories and enjoys displaying his strengthened aura upon returning to familiar territory. 83 128 203 268

Abilities & Skills

Ice-Attribute Dou Qi

Hai Bodong wields cold, blade-like Ice Dou Qi. His ice attacks include ice blades, ice mirrors, ice armor, spear shadows, and concentrated Ice Force capable of invading an opponent's meridians. 68 175 204 242

• His Ice Dou Qi was refined through repeated combat in the Black Corner Region, giving him superior combat strength against peers at the same realm. 183
• Refining Heavenly Cold Qi further condensed his Dou Qi and markedly increased his combat strength. 439
• His ice attribute is disadvantaged in the fire-rich Tagor Desert against Queen Medusa's fire attribute. 187

Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar

Hai Bodong's signature self-created technique summons ice dragons whose number and power increase with his cultivation. 112

• Originally a Mysterious Rank High Grade technique; seven ice dragons could already rival a Low Earth Tier technique. 112
• Nine ice dragons manifested during his battle with Queen Medusa, advancing the technique to Earth Tier Low Grade. 188
• He later fused the nine dragons into one, advancing it to true Earth Tier Middle Grade while retaining its ability to fight above its level. 508
• It can be used through Calamity Breaker, combining man, spear, and dragon into a single attack. 508
• As its creator, Hai Bodong can use it to contend with High Earth Tier techniques. 508

Ice Frost Movement Technique

An Earth Tier Low Grade movement technique suited to Hai Bodong's ice attribute. Su Yun gave it to him after his rise to Nine-Star Dou Emperor. 128

• Hai Bodong reached its entry level unusually quickly through his strong comprehension. 150 169
• It allowed him to outrun Fan Lao's Blood Escape Technique by roughly thirty percent and execute Fan Lao. 176
• It gave him the mobility to maneuver around Queen Medusa during their duel. 188

Defensive Ice Techniques

Hai Bodong employs several defensive ice techniques to offset attacks from stronger opponents.

• Myriad Flower Ice Mirror — Earth Tier Low Grade defensive technique; considered when facing Queen Medusa's Flame Python Transforms into Dragon. 67 188
• Ice Condensing Mirror — Mysterious Tier Middle Grade ice mirror used to block Su Yun's sword strike. 68
• Mysterious ice armor — A condensed ice defense that blocked the depleted force of Mo Tianxing's palm attack. 242

Mapmaking and Deduction

Decades as a map-shop owner made Hai Bodong an exceptional map reader and geographic analyst. 67 126

• Identified an unfamiliar map as depicting a distant section of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. 109
• Narrowed a Heavenly Flame map's location to the Northwest Continent. 126
• Used recorded sightings of the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame to deduce that it lingered around Falling Stone Cliff, likely connected to the Beast Spirit Venerable's death site. 212

Spear Combat

Hai Bodong fights with Calamity Breaker, combining spear techniques with Ice Dou Qi and his movement technique. 183 187

• Overwhelmed Fan Lao after catching him with Ice Frost Movement Technique. 176
• Used the spear alongside Han Feng and the Two Elders Jin and Yin to confront Mo Tianxing. 242
• Defeated and killed Tian Shuangzi with Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar channeled through the spear. 508

Equipment

• Calamity Breaker — Ice-attribute spear acquired from Fan Lao; initially a Sixth Tier Magic Core weapon. Hai Bodong named it before his rematch with Queen Medusa. 176 187
• Upgraded Calamity Breaker — Su Yun later advanced it into an Eighth Tier, One-Star Magic Core spear. 508
• Ring of Holding — Used to carry resources, maps, medicinal materials, and weapons. 67 176
• Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Fragment Map — Kept in his Desert City shop before Su Yun took possession of it. 67 68

Relationships

• Su Yun — Initially fought over a remnant map, then became Su Yun's contracted subordinate in exchange for the removal of Queen Medusa's seal. Their relationship developed into enduring trust, with Su Yun supplying resources and Hai Bodong providing leadership, intelligence, and combat support. 68 82 150 330 439
• Qing Lin — A familial, grandfather-like relationship. Qing Lin calls him “Grandpa Hai,” teases his boasting, and worries about him before his rematch with Medusa. 113 128 185
• Queen Medusa — His former enemy and personal inner demon. She sealed his cultivation for decades; Hai Bodong later defeated her in a one-on-one battle. 67 185 188
• Mitel Tengshan — Old friend and member of the Mite'er Family. Hai Bodong welcomed his return by beating him during a “spar,” but later rewarded him for his work; Tengshan's death deeply affected Hai Bodong. 89 185 326
• Jia Xingtian — Longtime rival and contemporary. Hai Bodong first lost to him while weakened, then repeatedly surpassed and defeated him after recovering his strength. 90 112 183
• Fa Ma — An old acquaintance who understands Hai Bodong's abrasive temperament and trades barbs with him. 89
• Yun Shan — An old peer whose relationship with Hai Bodong became strained after Yun Shan's changes following his breakthrough. Hai Bodong defeated him at Misty Cloud Mountain. 269 270
• Han Feng — A temporary ally against the Black Emperor Sect. Hai Bodong treated the alliance cautiously and later exploited Han Feng's desperation for information to obtain favors and three Grade Six Pills. 239 248
