Background and History
Birth and exile
Old Sha was born on the Great Prairie to the Azure Cliff Heavenly Wolf King and an ordinary Forest Wolf. His father was the Wolf Lord’s forty-second son. Despite this ancestry, Old Sha was born as a Forest Wolf without an awakened Heavenly Wolf Bloodline; his innate Wolf King’s Majesty was the principal sign of his unusual parentage 354.
The Wolf Nation treated weak offspring as disposable. Old Sha’s father attempted to kill him, and his mother intervened. A trace of Wolf King’s Majesty helped him survive, but his mother died and he was driven out of the central tribe 354 715.
Accounts differ on the immediate circumstances of his mother’s death: one recalls his father biting her, another a subordinate striking her with its tail, while a later passage emphasizes her weakness and his father’s responsibility. All connect her death and Old Sha’s exile to the rejection of his unawakened bloodline 363 649 726.
Life with the Su family
Su Chongguang found Old Sha during his service in the Western Desert and raised him. Old Sha grew up alongside Su Anyong, later watching Su Ping grow from childhood. Although he never formed a Soul Contract with either of the older men, he became one of the family’s closest companions 4 354 726.
Old Sha refused Su Chongguang’s offer of a contract because he feared limiting his future. Repeated attempts to evolve had failed, leaving him resigned to remaining a Forest Wolf. Nevertheless, an opportunity in his youth brought Sunlight Absorption to Perfection and helped him exceed his species’ normal cultivation limit 4 72 355.
As Woodheart’s sole Wolf King, he kept the other Forest Wolves obedient and helped Su Anyong manage the base without additional caretakers. By the time Su Ping took over, however, Old Sha was elderly; his Commander Rank had prolonged a lifespan that an ordinary Forest Wolf would already have exhausted 4 57.
Appearance
- Forest Wolf: A large wolf with bright green eyes and grayish-blue fur. When he straightened himself during evolutionary preparations, he stood slightly taller than Su Ping 8 72 85.
- Evolutionary training: His fur became increasingly emerald and leaflike, with longer branchlike strands extending along his spine and veinlike markings appearing on his tongue 85 88.
- Ten Thousand Woods Wolf: Developed two Y-shaped branch antlers, sharper claws, and a plantlike body capable of moving through trees 93.
- After acquiring Sunheart: His antlers became translucent milky white, while his eyes changed to pale gold or platinum. These changes remained after the fusion ended 203 205.
- Solar Corona Wolf Venerable: Stands roughly three meters tall, with fur flowing with golden light. His former horns become a crown made of light, accompanied by a radiant solar-corona arc behind him 658.
Personality
Old Sha’s loyalty is familial rather than contractual. He drank Su Ping’s foul-smelling experimental potion despite believing it might poison him, both to protect the young breeder’s confidence and to establish his authority before the wolf pack. After its success, his solemn resignation immediately gave way to excited licking and tail-wagging 8 9.
His failed evolutions and childhood rejection left him with a deep fear of becoming a burden. During his successful evolutionary attempt, he worried less about dying than about wasting Su Ping’s resources and effort. Having once accepted his own approaching death, he also sympathized strongly with the dying Life Ancient Tree 88 179 355.
He is proud of his strength and seniority, but readily drops that dignity around Su Ping. His confidence in battle contrasts with his dread of arithmetic exercises, although he willingly accepts difficult training when it offers a path to evolution. His eventual confrontation with the Heavenly Wolves ends not in a desire to rule them, but in recognition that the Su family—not his biological relatives—is his home 96 183 653 724 726.
Abilities & Skills
Sunheart
A Super-Rank skill formed by fusing Sunlight Absorption, Photosynthesis, Woodheart, and Blinding Technique 183 203.
- Absorbs and stores solar energy, accelerates recovery, and strengthens energy-based skills 203 219.
- Releases accumulated sunlight as an explosive bombardment, including the attack called the Solar Tailed Beast Cannon 219 325.
- At Monarch Rank First Stage, produced a measured attack value of 33,958 with additional burning and blinding effects 219.
- During the Bone Tyrant battle, allowed Old Sha to act as an artificial sun, restoring allied Ten Thousand Woods Wolves through his radiance 557.
- Later evolutionary training required separate, precise control of incoming solar energy and energy already converted through Sunheart 653.
Wood and Plant Manipulation
Before his solar evolution, Old Sha specialized in creating forests, controlling vegetation, and fighting within plant-rich terrain 93 111.
- Tree Vine Strangulation: Summons branches and vines to bind a target 9.
- Tree Prison: Rapidly creates densely intertwined trees, turning open ground into a forest battlefield 93.
- Language of Nature: Used alongside Tree Prison to establish a jungle inside the Sword Tomb Mystic Realm; it did not, by itself, reverse the Life Ancient Tree’s decline 111 179.
- Mutation·Wood Body: Allows him to pass through trees and enter Woodification, taking on a rooted, plantlike form 93 179.
- Woodheart: Enhances Wood-element power, effectiveness, and casting speed while absorbing Wood energy for recovery. His created forest also supplies Woodheart-equipped wolves with a shared recovery environment 9 93.
Sun Particle Cannon
A Super-Rank offensive skill developed through solar-particle fusion and subsequent energy stabilization 655 656.
- Concentrates solar energy into a destructive ranged attack 656 725.
- Its raw offensive force is sufficient to threaten Saint Spirit Tier opponents while Old Sha remains at Emperor Tier 715 725.
- Delivered the killing blow against the Saint Spirit Tier Peak Amethyst Datura Flower King 725.
Sun Storm
A solar combat skill with distinct Solar Wind and Solar Burst applications 715 725.
- Solar Wind: Transforms his body into a high-speed state that ignores physical attacks and permits travel through the star river 725.
- Solar Burst: Emits pulsed radiation that disrupts Psychic-element skills and mental-strength effects 725.
- Old Sha combined Solar Wind with golden claws and Sun Battle Armor during his clash with the Wolf Sage’s Heavenly Wolf 715.
Child of the Sun
A Super-Rank status ability with influence over wolf pets, Beast-types, and Plant-element creatures. Its effects are particularly pronounced against wolves 659 726.
- Maintains a connection to the sun without requiring a distinction between day and night 659.
- Suppressed the Amethyst Datura Flower King’s energy and movement, allowing Old Sha to finish the battle 725.
- Its presence was felt even by the Legend Tier Wolf Lord and Wood Spirit Mother Tree, although Old Sha’s lower cultivation limited its threat to the latter 725 726.
- Made the Wolf Lord regard him as a potential future threat to Heavenly Wolf rule 726.
Great Sun Across the Sky
Old Sha’s domain skill, which makes him the center of a sunlike field filled with torrents of solar fire 725.
- Used to overwhelm the Amethyst Datura Flower King 725.
- Can serve as the operating area for Super-Life Force of the Sun 659.
Super-Life Force of the Sun
A Mastery-level healing and enhancement skill that integrates Old Sha’s earlier Wood-element life-force abilities 659.
- Converts solar life force into a form compatible with another living being, fully healing its injuries 659.
- Temporarily enhances a pet beast’s strength and raises the power of one skill beyond its existing level and grade 659.
- Can be used within Great Sun Across the Sky 659.
Wolf King’s Majesty and Energy Control
- Innate authority: Commands Woodheart’s Forest Wolves and can induce submission even from other wolf pets of comparable cultivation 4 354.
- Resistance to intimidation: Offered some resistance to the Bone Tyrant’s Super-Rank Tyrant’s Might 557.
- Exceptional precision: Learned to manipulate two different Sunheart energy streams simultaneously in roughly ten minutes, drawing a circle and square more precisely than Su Ping’s demonstration 653.
- Individual talent: Su Ping judged his energy control to be top-tier despite comparatively ordinary skill-training speed 654.
- Communication limit: Still communicated through howls rather than human speech during his Emperor Tier confrontation with the Heavenly Wolf 715.

Relationships
- Su Ping — The child Old Sha watched grow up, his breeder, and his chosen family. Su Ping repeatedly invests in his survival and evolution while declining to treat their bond as an ordinary master–pet contract 57 88 649 768.
- Su Chongguang — Rescuer and original master. Raised Old Sha after finding him in the Western Desert; Old Sha refused a Soul Contract out of fear of holding him back 354 355 724.
- Su Anyong — Lifelong companion who grew up alongside him and previously attempted to help him evolve 88 355.
- Mother — An ordinary Forest Wolf who protected him from his father’s rejection. Her death motivated his desire for revenge 649 715.
- Azure Cliff Heavenly Wolf King — Biological father who rejected him for failing to awaken the Heavenly Wolf Bloodline. Did not recognize him after his transformation 354 724 726.
- Wolf Lord — Biological grandfather. Regarded Old Sha’s status power as a political threat before attempting to draw him back through kinship 726.
- Wooden Head — A younger wolf he repeatedly disciplines and spars with. Eventually becomes tired of Wooden Head challenging him several times a day 195 198 262.
