Background / History

The Stolen Supreme Bone

Shi Yi and Shi Hao are cousins from the Shi family’s Martial King Manor. Shi Yi possesses the Supreme Bone taken from Shi Hao, whose loss nearly killed its original owner and separated him from his family. Although Shi Yi becomes widely recognized as a young supreme, many people know the bone’s origins are questionable; the Shi family avoids discussing the matter 16 17 18 30.

Demon Spirit Lake invests considerable resources in nurturing him, while the Heaven Mending Sect regards him as a promising candidate. His reputation also attracts the War Goddess, who offers to invite him to the Deer-Chasing Academy if he succeeds in breaking a Void God Realm record 16 19 30.

Defeat in the Void God Realm

Shi Yi attempts to break a record by leaping to a distant volcano. Shi Xiu publicly accuses him of stealing Shi Hao’s Supreme Bone and challenges him to a jumping contest. Although Shi Yi jumps first, Shi Xiu overtakes him, lands on a higher and more distant peak, and receives the record-breaking honor 16.

Shortly afterward, Shi Xiu uses a special sign-in to extract the Supreme Bone remotely. Shi Yi senses the theft through the connection between his spirit and physical body, but returns too late to stop it. His collapse unsettles his supporters, some of whom consider abandoning him 17.

After the bone returns to Shi Hao, Shi Yi vows to settle their feud. He interprets Yuechan’s attempt to counsel him as mockery and refuses to enter the Upper Realm until he defeats Shi Xiu. He then recruits Yu Feng, who seeks revenge for Yu Zimo’s death 18 19.

Hundred Broken Mountains

Hoping to rebuild his fortunes, Shi Yi enters the Hundred Broken Mountains with followers and Dao Protectors. He spots Shi Xiu and Shi Hao cultivating in the forest, but his surveillance exposes his Double Pupils to Shi Xiu’s system. Despite his resistance, the system removes his right double pupil 27 28.

Shi Yi consequently warns his companions to avoid the two boys from Stone Village, yet still sends Yu Feng to challenge Shi Hao. During their duel, he attacks first and assumes that Shi Hao cannot defeat him without Shi Xiu’s help. Shi Hao instead unleashes the restored Supreme Bone at close range, leaving him near death. The Golden Spider Young Master blocks the finishing attack, and Huo Ling’er subsequently stops the confrontation and leads Shi Hao away 28 29 30.

Later, Shi Yi witnesses Shi Xiu wielding his stolen pupil through the Broken Sword against the Divine Monkey King. He admits that even uninjured, he would need at least five more years of cultivation to produce comparable power. He ultimately leaves the mountains on a stretcher, surviving through Demon Spirit Lake’s protection 45 46.

Appearance

Shi Yi initially appears as a handsome young man wearing luxurious clothing and accompanied by servants 16.

• Double pupils: His eyes emit strange light and energy; after losing the Supreme Bone, their activation makes the surrounding heavens and earth tremble 18.
• Missing right eye: The extraction of his right double pupil leaves him one-eyed 28.
• Deteriorating posture: By his duel with Shi Hao, his back appears slightly hunched, and his former handsome, godlike bearing has deteriorated 30.

Personality

Shi Yi is proud of his standing as a young supreme and reacts sharply when Shi Xiu challenges that reputation. Public defeat leaves him furious, while the subsequent loss of his Supreme Bone strips away his former confidence. His wounded pride turns Yuechan’s well-intentioned advice into another perceived insult 16 19.

His resentment repeatedly overrides caution. Although losing an eye makes him recognize Shi Xiu as someone to avoid, he still challenges Shi Hao, believing his younger cousin depends on outside assistance. Seeing Shi Xiu use his stolen pupil more effectively than he ever could finally drives him into profound despair 28 29 30 45.

Abilities & Skills

Double Pupils

The Double Pupils are described as an exceptional constitution and a road to invincibility independent of the Supreme Bone 19 28.

• Long-distance vision: Shi Yi sees the brothers cultivating through dense forest where Yu Feng cannot detect them 27.
• Energy manifestation: His eyes release strange light capable of disturbing the surrounding environment 18.
• Resistance to extraction: His resistance and the pupils’ rarity prevent Shi Xiu’s system from seizing more than the right eye 28.
• Remaining power: His left eye still emits Double Pupils radiance during the duel, but Shi Hao’s Supreme Bone light overwhelms it 30.
• Transferred application: After conversion into a gemstone and installation in Shi Xiu’s Broken Sword, the stolen pupil suppresses the Heaven-Splitting Demon Butterfly’s ancient bloodline 28 37 41.

Supreme Bone — Formerly Possessed

Shi Yi carries Shi Hao’s Supreme Bone until Shi Xiu retrieves it. Its power is not fully accessible to him: at least 60% is suppressed while it resides in his body 17 18.

• Major source of strength: Removing it costs him at least 40% of his combat strength 17.
• Connection across spirit and body: He senses its extraction even while his consciousness is inside the Void God Realm 17.
• Awareness after removal: He senses its return to Shi Hao, though the text leaves open whether this comes from the bone or the cousins’ blood connection 18.

Relationships

• Shi Hao — Younger cousin and enemy; their feud centers on the stolen Supreme Bone and culminates in the Battle of the Two Stones 18 29 30.
• Shi Xiu — Nemesis who defeats him publicly and uses the system to strip away his Supreme Bone and right double pupil 16 17 28.
• Yu Feng — Follower and revenge collaborator; delivers Shi Yi’s duel challenge to Shi Hao 19 27 29.
• Yuechan — Heaven Mending Sect saintess who evaluates and counsels him after his losses; he rejects her advice 19.
• Golden Spider Young Master — Friend and protector from Demon Spirit Lake; intervenes to prevent Shi Hao from killing him 16 30 46.
• War Goddess — Prospective recruiter who offers him entry to the Deer-Chasing Academy if he breaks the volcanic-jump record 16.
