Background / History

Xiao Chenghe is a direct descendant of the Xiao Clan from Xiao Family Village. His grandfather died before Yu Xiaogang attempted to contact him, while his father—a gatekeeper at the City Lord's Manor—was arrested by Spirit Hall law enforcement after attending an “exciting show.” With no elder available to intervene, Xiao Chenghe remained firm in following Luo Yihe rather than accepting Yu Xiaogang as his master. 2

He had already witnessed an unexplained vision at age five, when Luo Yihe awakened his martial soul and everyone in the village except Xiao Chenghe fainted. The vision showed alternate versions of himself and Luo Yihe; its impact later gave him the courage to accept Volibear's trial. 26

The Xiao Clan selected him to receive a strand of Volibear's fur because of his bear-type martial soul. Although his White Bear was terrified of the storm it summoned, Xiao Chenghe entered the storm without even summoning it, determined to obtain power through his own effort. He endured lightning that destroyed all four limbs and grievously wounded his body, yet continued crawling toward the storm's center. 4

After the storm proclaimed the arrival of “the First Thunder, Valhir,” Xiao Chenghe became an enormous egg and underwent six months of rebirth. He emerged physically transformed and renamed his evolved martial soul the Rune Battle Bear. 4

Appearance

After his nirvana-like rebirth, Xiao Chenghe changes from an ordinary child into a notably burly young warrior. His height rises from a little over one meter to roughly one and a half meters. 4

• Blue eyes that flicker with thin arcs of lightning when he is angry. 4
• Muscular, powerful build developed after the Volibear trial. 4
• A Volibear totem across his back. 4
• During martial soul possession, a white bear over three meters tall appears behind him in rune armor, surrounded by storm clouds and blue lightning. 11

Personality

Xiao Chenghe is intensely devoted to Luo Yihe. He rejects Yu Xiaogang's recruitment efforts, later turns down Mu Chenglong's offer to arrange an expert master for him, and describes himself and Luo Yihe as “one and the same.” 2 11

He is straightforward, excitable, and easy for Luo Yihe to fool, but also prone to reckless bravado. He enjoys the spectacle created by his martial soul, boasts dramatically when surrounded, and seeks admiration from onlookers. 6 40 80

His loyalty can become harsh and violent. He assists Luo Yihe in cheating and tormenting captives, attacks enemies on Luo Yihe's orders, and readily joins him in escalating conflicts with Yu Tianheng and hostile soul masters. 15 76 92

Abilities & Skills

Rune Battle Bear

Xiao Chenghe possesses the super-evolved Rune Battle Bear martial soul, created from the White Bear's exposure to Volibear's fur and thunderstorm trial. 4

• Summons dark clouds, thunder, and lightning within roughly five meters of himself. 2 11
• Manifests a rune-armored white bear whose forepaws and armor conduct blue lightning. 11
• His martial soul's presence is powerful enough to make Qin Ming hesitate to interfere in Luo Yihe's duel. 80
• His lightning can strike outward indiscriminately after possession, making it dangerous to nearby allies and bystanders. 11
• A major discharge of his power requires conscious restraint; Luo Yihe orders him to steady his mind and pull the power back. 10

Enhanced Physique

The Volibear trial grants Xiao Chenghe extraordinary physical strength and vitality in addition to his lightning abilities.

• Dugu Bo judges his physical strength alone comparable to that of a Soul Emperor despite Xiao Chenghe being only eleven. 60
• He can violently overpower opponents such as Dai Mubai through grappling and repeated impacts. 9
• He can tear apart restraints that Zhu Zhuqing could not break. 20

Storm Manifestation

Xiao Chenghe can shape storm energy into large-scale attacks during combat.

• Creates a massive bear paw formed from storm winds and lightning. 92
• Produces lightning tornadoes within a ten-meter area after revealing four special soul rings. 93
• His ordinary lightning attacks can injure Soul Sage-level opponents, though they cannot reliably break a Soul Sage's defenses. 92

Vision Orb

Xiao Chenghe can display an orb-like vision to others, though he cannot fully explain whether what it shows is the future or the past. 26

• He shares a vision with Zhu Zhuqing in which Luo Yihe becomes a godlike being before being killed by unknown purple creatures. 26
• In the vision, an alternate Xiao Chenghe searches the universe for Luo Yihe and fails to remove the divine spears pinning Luo Yihe's corpse. 26
• The visions strongly reinforce his determination to protect Luo Yihe. 26

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Storage Soul Tool — gifted by Mu Chenglong after their period of training. 11
• Storm Battle Axe — wielded during the Heaven Dou City conflict; significantly increases his ability to harm Soul Sage-level enemies. 92
• Folding stool — briefly used against Mu Chenglong after Luo Yihe provides it; while folded, it has guaranteed armor-piercing and critical-hit effects. 11
• Dagger — used to threaten Ma Hongjun during the brothers' card-game interrogation. 15

Relationships

• Luo Yihe — His “Big Brother,” closest companion, and the person Xiao Chenghe follows above all others. They coordinate instinctively in battle and repeatedly reject offers that would separate them. 2 10 11
• Zhu Zhuqing — Ally and traveling companion. Xiao Chenghe shows her his uncertain vision of Luo Yihe's fate, and she later accompanies him and Luo Yihe through Star Dou Forest and Heaven Dou City. 26 49
• Yu Xiaogang — Would-be master whom Xiao Chenghe repeatedly rejects. Their interactions are hostile, with Xiao Chenghe mocking him as “Little Gang.” 2 3
• Dugu Bo — Initially threatens Xiao Chenghe and buries him in a herb garden to pressure Luo Yihe; later helps bring him into Heaven Dou Imperial Academy through Dugu Yan. 61 71
• Yu Tianheng — Rival at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Xiao Chenghe fights alongside Luo Yihe against him and taunts him after his defeat. 76 79 81
• Xiao Clan — His ancestral clan, whose elders entrust him with the dangerous opportunity to super-evolve his martial soul. 4
