Sun Hao

Biodata

History

Protection-Money Scheme

Sun Hao was an accomplice of the original Xu Yuan and Luo Han, bullying ordinary students alongside them. Despite being among the weakest students in their martial arts class, they intimidated timid students who were unlikely to report them 3 5.

• Victims: Approximately a dozen ordinary students, including children from poor families 5.
• Monthly demand: 300 Great Xia Currency from each student 5.
• Division of proceeds: Sun Hao and Xu Yuan each received 40%; Luo Han received 20% after being manipulated by the other two 5.

After the transmigrated Xu Yuan stopped a collection and released the students, Sun Hao initially assumed he was playing a joke. Once Xu Yuan made his decision clear, Sun Hao proposed continuing with Luo Han and keeping 60% for himself. Luo Han also refused, prompting Sun Hao to break with both boys and declare that he would collect the money alone 5 6.

Sun Hao subsequently ignored Xu Yuan’s invitation to meet at White Lake Sky Street, telling Luo Han that he would no longer associate with them 7 8.

Martial Arts Assessment

Before the assessment, Sun Hao mocked Xu Yuan over his conflict with Zhang Baosheng. Xu Yuan responded by promising to take him to perform good deeds afterward, warning of a “bloody calamity” if he refused 14.

Sun Hao recorded a punching force of 431 jin and expected the injured Xu Yuan to perform worse. Although Xu Yuan’s first two punches encouraged his mockery, the third reached 1,003 jin. Sun Hao bitterly resented the attention Xu Yuan received and consoled himself with the belief that Xu Yuan would still fail 15 16.

When called for the martial technique assessment, Sun Hao admitted that he had not reached entry level. Embarrassed by the resulting laughter, he claimed that Xu Yuan had not reached it either. Xu Yuan then demonstrated a Transformation Realm technique and earned 50 points 17.

Forced Donations

After the assessment, Luo Han detained Sun Hao at Xu Yuan’s request. Sun Hao tried to leave by claiming that his mother had called him home for dinner, but agreed to follow Xu Yuan when threatened with a beating 20.

At the pedestrian street, Xu Yuan forced him to distribute money to beggars beneath two overpasses. Sun Hao first handed out 4,200 yuan, then surrendered the remainder of his savings—over 9,000 yuan in total. He secretly intended to reclaim the donations, but Xu Yuan left contact details with several beggars so they could report any demands for repayment 21.

When Sun Hao’s resentment showed, Xu Yuan manifested a savage bull phantom. Knowing that the technique could kill him, Sun Hao promised to behave and left. Xu Yuan nevertheless told Luo Han that he did not believe Sun Hao had become a good person 21.

Beast Ranking

Sun Hao’s forced donations lowered his Sin Points despite his unwillingness and continued malice. His fall below Xu Yuan allowed Xu Yuan to claim ninth place and receive the “No Immortals, No Gods, Only I, the Evil Demon, Shake the Heavens Art” 21 38.

Appearance

• Build: Thin, contrasting with the fat Luo Han when the two first approach Xu Yuan together 3.

Personality

Sun Hao treats exploitation as an easy source of income rather than a moral problem. He objects to abandoning protection money because the victims would not dare report him, and he remains willing to continue after both accomplices withdraw 6.

He is lazy and defeatist about cultivation. Rather than seek Lin Yuan’s guidance, he refuses to demonstrate his technique because he believes reaching initial mastery would still be insufficient to pass the assessment 3.

Sun Hao is sensitive to humiliation but readily redirects ridicule toward others. He welcomes Xu Yuan drawing attention away from him in class, then becomes openly envious when Xu Yuan succeeds. When confronted by superior strength, he replaces mockery with flattery and compliance while privately retaining his resentment 5 16 17 21.
