Si Kong
Si Kong is the proud son of Dark Dragon Tribe's patriarch and an early rival of Su Ming. He pursues Su with a tribe-owned spear while relying on cultivation, status, and unseen protection, only to be defeated and coerced into mortgaging the weapon. Centuries later he appears in Evil Dust Sect with the same arrogant bearing. His two-part name is explicitly distinct from another cultivator called Sikong.
Biography
The spear pursuit outside Dark Dragon Tribe
At fifth-level Blood Condensation, Si Kong expects his flying spear to kill a fourth-level opponent easily and chases when Su evades it. Su turns the pursuit around, incapacitates him, and holds the captured spear at his throat. Si Kong invokes his father's status but yields when intimidation fails, signing an oath that presents the seizure as a ten-year mortgage for five thousand stone coins. His humiliation is limited by a hidden fact Su recognizes only later: a senior from Dark Dragon Tribe was monitoring the encounter, so Si Kong had never truly activated a tribal treasure without oversight. (Chapters 40–116)
Si Kong later watches Bai Ling leave with Mo Su but does not follow. His complicated reaction and eventual sigh show that jealousy or attachment is subordinate to the defeat and the situation around her; the dossier does not establish a formal relationship between them. (Chapters 77–78)
Recognition in Evil Dust Sect
When Qian Chen mentions a cultivator named Sikong, Su first wonders whether he means his old rival. The later introduction resolves the ambiguity: Evil Dust Sect's member is indeed Si Kong from Dark Dragon Tribe, recognizable by the same pride and arrogance. The encounter confirms his survival and new affiliation but provides no formal later realm or completed conflict with Su. (Chapters 642–645)
Appearance and personality
Si Kong is a young man whose cold gaze and pride mark his status as a tribal elite. He is persistent in pursuit and sufficiently cautious to notice an opponent's evasiveness, but overestimates the protection supplied by rank and equipment. Once disarmed he becomes fearful and compliant. His later expression remains arrogant, suggesting that the early humiliation did not fundamentally transform his outward temperament. (Chapters 40–78, 645)
Abilities and cultivation
Si Kong is explicitly at the fifth level of Blood Condensation in his youth. He can pursue at speed and remotely launch a Man-Tool spear hard enough to trouble an evasive fourth-level opponent. The weapon materially improves his threat; after Su reaches close range, Si Kong loses before understanding the counter. (Chapters 40–41)
No later technique or realm is demonstrated. Membership in Evil Dust Sect implies continued cultivation, but does not support assigning him the abilities of similarly named Sikong or other sect members. (Chapters 642–645)
Relationships
- Su Ming: Early quarry who defeats and humiliates Si Kong; later recognizes him despite centuries of separation.
- Bai Ling: Fellow member of Dark Dragon Tribe. Si Kong considers following her when she leaves with Mo Su but ultimately remains behind.
- Dark Dragon patriarch: Si Kong's father and the status he invokes to deter Su from killing him.
Items
- Black Man-Tool spear: Tribe-owned flying spear used in the pursuit. Su forces Si Kong to mortgage it under a written oath, after which Mo Sang takes custody and recognizes the hidden political danger around it.
