The Earthen Heart Shifu (also called The Xin Shan Quan Master in the fan translation) is the protagonist of The Successor chapter. He is a very old man who is looking for an inheritor for his Earthen Heart kung fu technique.

Profile

Appearance

He is an old man with a partially bald head with gray hair. He wears an all black kung fu outfit and is fairly short in height. He always has his eyes squinted closed.

Personality

He is very honorable and calm, rarely ever getting upset. He believes that strength does not always amount to physical might or attacking people and believes that the kung fu arts should never be used to kill people unless absolutely needed. The only time he was seen even angry was after the death of two of his disciples at the hands of Ou Di Wan Lee.

Background

During The Successor

He is very old master of the Earthen Heart kung fu and due to his very old age is getting weaker and dying during the events of The Successor. He goes around China and searches for disciples to pass his arts down to and eventually finds them (Lei Kugo, Hong Hakka and Yun Jou). He later dies after the battle with Ou Di Wan Lee having taught everything he knows to his successor he succeeds in his final goal.

Trivia

• The Shifu is the only one of the seven main characters to actually die unless one is to count Oersted, who is technically the eighth main character.
• The Shifu is the oldest main character of the seven; the second is Sundown.
• The Shifu is the only main character who will not appear in the final chapter due to being replaced by one of the three Earthen Heart Master.
• He is the only human character who cannot level up whatsoever and is forever locked at level 10.
