Background

Biao cultivated the Bluestone Blood-Transporting Method for more than thirty years, beginning with bluestone training at age five. He eventually became the Bluestone Tribe’s strongest warrior, reaching the Blood-Qi Mountain Sinking Realm and gaining the ability to kill mid-level ferocious beasts barehanded 5 19.

He entered the Great Wilderness as a young hunter under Falcon’s father, who taught him tracking, navigation, and survival. Falcon’s father later died saving Biao after Biao charged recklessly at a ferocious beast; the loss continued to weigh on Biao years afterward 23.

Appearance

Biao is an exceptionally large, battle-worn man whose intimidating build contrasts sharply with his warm demeanor.

• Shoulders “as broad as a door” and arms nearly as thick as Lin Yi’s waist 6.
• Bare upper body covered in crisscrossing scars from past hunts and cultivation 6 7.
• Square face, thick brows, gentle eyes, and a hearty grin 6.
• Towering, iron-tower-like physique; his immense size and strength are immediately recognizable among the tribe 6 8.
• His voice is booming enough to make nearby people’s ears ring 6 8.

Personality

Biao is straightforward, boisterous, and fiercely enthusiastic. He praises Lin Yi loudly for his breakthroughs, dismisses his attempts at modesty, and treats overwhelming strength as something worth celebrating 8 19.

Despite his rough manner, he is a disciplined and responsible hunter. He prioritizes group safety, teaches Lin Yi wilderness survival, orders the hunting party not to act alone, and adjusts his tactics when prey proves more dangerous than expected 8 9 20.

Biao is deeply loyal to his family and companions. He is emotionally affected by Falcon’s injury, risks himself to protect Lin Yi against the Inkshadow Leopard and Xie Wolf pack, and refuses to abandon Lin Yi even when escape appears impossible 21 23 26 28.

Abilities & Skills

Blood-Qi Mountain Sinking Cultivation

Biao is the Bluestone Tribe’s foremost Blood-Qi cultivator for much of the early story.

• Initially possesses approximately 80,000 jin of strength at the Mountain-Sinking Realm 5.
• Reaches approximately 85,000 jin by the time of his duel with Lin Yi 19.
• Can lift millstone-sized bluestones without strain and run through the wilderness at high speed while deliberately slowing down for less experienced companions 7 8.
• Can kill mid-level ferocious beasts barehanded 5.
• His power remains inferior to Lin Yi’s Savage Bull Diagram-enhanced strength despite Biao’s higher cultivation foundation 19.

Hunting and Wilderness Survival

Biao is an experienced Great Wilderness hunter and regularly commands the tribe’s hunting expeditions.

• Identifies beast tracks, scents, nests, prey formations, and situations requiring retreat 8.
• Explains the dangers of nocturnal beasts and insists that hunts return before sunset 8.
• Uses paired scouting, signals, encirclement, and centralized support to prevent hunters from acting alone 20.
• Remains the hunting party’s practical field commander even after Lin Yi is recognized as its leader 19 20.

Saber Combat and Close-Quarters Fighting

Biao primarily fights with a broad-backed saber, but is equally dangerous unarmed.

• Meets the Savage Bull King’s charge head-on with his saber and later cripples its front leg, enabling the hunting team to kill it 10.
• Uses his bare hands to wrestle and redirect the Savage Bull King’s head when his saber is knocked away 10.
• Attempts to restrain the Rock Python directly when ordinary attacks prove ineffective 21.
• While severely wounded, crushes a Xie Wolf’s skull one-handed and kills additional wolves with punches 27.

Blood-Qi Control Training

Biao learns foundational control exercises from Lin Yi after failing to master the Savage Bull Diagram through brute force.

• Successfully walks across a stream by spreading Blood Qi beneath his feet 19.
• Is considered only “barely qualified” by Lin Yi and is instructed to progress from walking to running on water 19.
• Initially lacks the fine control necessary for the Savage Bull Diagram and nearly causes his Blood Qi to explode internally during practice 17.
• Continues training in the Savage Bull Art and Savage Bull Diagram during his recovery; by the end of the half-month training period, his injured hand no longer interferes with daily practice 57.

Equipment

• Broad-backed saber / broadsword — Biao’s principal hunting weapon, maintained with a whetstone before expeditions 8 23.
• Bone blade / hunting knife — Used for routine work and tracking during hunts 6 20.
• Hunting gear — Participates in expeditions equipped alongside the team with practical wilderness supplies and weapons 8.

Relationships

• Lin Yi — Initially protects and mentors him as a novice hunter; later becomes Lin Yi’s student in Blood-Qi control and Savage Bull techniques. Their relationship develops into mutual trust and brotherhood through repeated life-or-death battles 8 17 19 26 30 57.
• Xiao Hu — His energetic son. Biao is frequently embarrassed by Xiao Hu’s admiration for Lin Yi but remains part of a warm, playful family dynamic 6 14 16.
• Biao’s wife — His unnamed wife, who sees through his claims of being unharmed and tends to his injuries after the Savage Bull hunt 11 30.
• Village Chief — A longtime subordinate and trusted warrior of the chief, who relies on Biao to lead hunts and guard the tribe 8 42.
• Mang — Fellow veteran hunter and member of the hunting team; they share long wilderness experience and coordinate tribal hunts 20 28 61.
• Falcon — A younger hunter whose critical injury deeply affects Biao because Falcon’s father was Biao’s original hunting mentor and died protecting him 21 23.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Welcoming Lin Yi and the First Hunt

Biao welcomes Lin Yi into his home, shares his family’s hospitality, and encourages him to cultivate diligently 6. Once Lin Yi reaches Initial Blood Resonance, Biao brings him into the hunting party under the village chief’s instruction to keep him safe, teaching him how to survive in the Great Wilderness 7 8.

During the Savage Bull hunt, Biao leads the assault and confronts the Savage Bull King alone when its Bloodline Divine Ability emerges. Lin Yi’s intervention saves Biao from being crushed, and Biao later coordinates the strike that cripples the beast’s leg and secures the group’s victory 9 10.

Student of the Savage Bull Techniques

After Lin Yi reconstructs the Savage Bull King’s Divine Markings into the Savage Bull Diagram, Biao is among the first to witness its power. Though awed by the technique, he eagerly asks Lin Yi to teach him 14 16.

Biao publicly verifies that Lin Yi created the martial skill, helping convince the hunting team to accept Lin Yi as their instructor 17. He struggles with the precise Blood-Qi control required, but persists with Lin Yi’s foundational exercises and successfully learns to walk on water 19.

Lin Yi defeats Biao in a sparring match despite Biao’s greater raw strength. Biao responds without resentment, publicly recognizing Lin Yi as the hunting team’s new leader; Lin Yi nevertheless continues to defer to Biao’s greater field experience during hunts 19 20.

Inkshadow Leopard and Xie Wolf Pack

When the Inkshadow Leopard ambushes Lin Yi, Biao abandons the planned strategy to protect him. The leopard shatters Biao’s left arm and leaves him unconscious, forcing Lin Yi to continue the battle alone 26.

After awakening amid the Xie Wolf pack, Biao immediately defends the badly injured Lin Yi. The two fight back-to-back until Biao suffers further claw and bite wounds protecting him 27 28. When Lin Yi tells him to flee alone, Biao refuses, insisting that they either leave together or die together 28.

The village chief rescues them with the Eye of Zheng. Biao’s shattered arm is later set by Lin Yi using Spirit Eyes, beginning his month-long recovery 28 30 33.

Recovery and Tribal Guardian

While recovering, Biao worries about being unable to hunt, but accepts Lin Yi’s promise to handle the tribe’s immediate burdens 33. He proudly witnesses Lin Yi’s Dragonlike Blood-Qi breakthrough, though his injuries prevent him from attending the Tribal Exchange Gathering 42.

The village chief leaves Biao behind to command the portion of the hunting team assigned to guard the Bluestone Tribe 42. By Lin Yi’s Spirit-Nurturing Realm breakthrough, Biao’s arm has fully healed, and he continues practicing the Savage Bull techniques with the hunting team 57 59.
