Shi Ho

Owner Of the Forest • Master Of Ascension Path

Shi Ho (始狐, literally "Beginning Fox") is a powerful fox spirit who served as the Master of Ascension Path. He is an extremely talented cultivator who reached Core Formation using only the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy available on Ascension Path.

Overview

Shi Ho made his debut in Chapter 2 of the Manhwa. In the early cycles, he took a single limb from Seo Eun-hyun and his group as payment for living in Ascension Path. In later regressions, Kim Young-hoon used him as a "punching bag" to train.

In the 19th Cycle, it was revealed that he ascended to the Ancient Force Realm with the Buk Hyang Fleet and was in love with Seo Ran. However, Seo Ran couldn't accept his love because he was a male.

Shi Ho is said to be extremely talented to the point that he reached Core Formation by just the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy on Ascension Path. He would exact a price for living in the ascension path from every being.

Appearance

Shi Ho is a white-furred fox that lived in Ascension Path. In his fox form, Shi Ho is around a two-story house tall, with multiple tails and piercing red eyes. He also possesses a humanoid form with white hair, fox ears, and traditional robes.
