Pi Yuanhong
Pi Yuanhong is a tenth-year Hidden Dragon Institute student whose nominal medicinal-herb specialty masks his real value as one of the Goldwater Ruins expedition’s strongest frontline fighters. His Genesis Split-Toothed Beast bloodline favors stable, heavy attacks and a durable physique rather than explosive techniques. (Chapters 293 and 300)
Biography
Frontline service in the Goldwater Ruins
Pi Yuanhong enters the expedition after surviving an encounter with three Ferocious Race youths alongside weaker companions. Four broken bones, ruptured organs, and an Origin Energy imbalance leave him near death, yet he can still smile while reporting what happened. After treatment, he returns to the expedition’s frontline, helping attack a purple-scaled Demonic Beast and later bracing the formation against a Ferocious Race charge. His willingness to intercept a short spear aimed at Su Chen nearly gets him skewered, showing that his defensive role involves accepting wounds for allies rather than merely enduring attacks directed at himself. (Chapters 293, 300–302, and 322)
Inside the laboratory, Pi fights through the dangers created by autonomous formations and takes on Lonter during the final collapse. He ultimately splits Lonter in two while Su Chen neutralizes the opponent’s purple-scaled beast. The victory confirms the direct battle strength for which he was selected, but it also preserves the expedition’s larger pattern: Pi is most effective inside a coordinated group whose healers, strategists, and formation specialists compensate for the breadth he lacks. (Chapters 320–323 and 335)
Reunions after graduation
Pi leaves the Institute not long after returning from the ruins but remains in contact with the students who fought beside him. Roughly ten years later, Yue Longsha greets “Old Pi” enthusiastically when former classmates gather again, and Pi shares their excitement when Qi Weiyan arrives. He later visits Su Chen with other Institute friends after the Boundless Sect is established. The text says that some visitors join the sect but does not identify Pi among them, so his later affiliation, cultivation, occupation, and condition after Chapter 744 remain unconfirmed. (Chapters 629–630 and 744)
Appearance and personality
Pi is good-humored, resilient, loyal, and candid about what he does not understand. He can smile while close to death, respects Su Chen’s right to keep a discovery secret, and voices unease when the laboratory’s defensive logic suggests a worse threat ahead. His motives are principally comradeship and successful completion of the expedition rather than scholarship or status. The corpus gives no detailed physical description beyond his naturally strong, bulky build. (Chapters 293, 300–301, and 320)
Abilities and cultivation
Pi possesses the Genesis Split-Toothed Beast bloodline, one of the expedition’s eight Demonic King bloodlines. It produces heavy, steady momentum in every attack and supports a naturally robust physique, letting him combine offense with frontline defense. He can face Ferocious Race combatants head-on, injure durable enemies, absorb part of a formation’s pressure, and kill Lonter in direct combat. The text does not name his individual Origin Skills, cultivation realm, bloodline origin, activation method, range, or energy cost. (Chapters 293, 300, 322, and 335)
Durability does not make him invulnerable. Multiple Ferocious youths leave him with organ damage and an unstable Origin Energy condition, and intercepting a Temple Warrior’s spear causes another nearly fatal wound. His herb-identification specialty is explicitly a compulsory stopgap and does not approach the alchemical ability of Cloud Leopard or Su Chen. No later training, bloodline evolution, realm breakthrough, or post-Institute combat demonstration is supplied. (Chapters 293 and 322)
Relationships
- Su Chen: Su Chen diagnoses and helps preserve Pi after catastrophic injuries, later fights beside him, and benefits when Pi intercepts a spear intended for him. Pi also respects Su Chen’s secrets and remains friendly enough to visit years later. (Chapters 293, 301–302, 322, 335, and 744)
- He Yuandong: Both are bulky, offense-capable frontline students. They share pressure against Demonic Beasts and Ferocious fighters, and He Yuandong immediately reacts when Pi is impaled. (Chapters 300 and 322)
- Qi Weiyan and Yue Longsha: Their enthusiastic reunion shows that the danger of the ruins produced lasting personal ties even after Pi left the Institute. (Chapters 629–630)
