Zhan Kong

Zhan Kong (born Zu Xing Ying 祖星毅) is big brother-friend of Mo Fan and an Military officer. He wanted Mo Fan to join the military when he found out Mo Fan has Innate Dual Elements. He paved the High-Tier Mage path for Zhang Xiao Hou. He is Mo Fan's sworn Big Brother/Boss. No one had higher hopes of the greatest mage for Mo Fan than him!

Appearance
A mature, handsome manly Asian at 180 cm tall with magnetic charisma.

A pair of Wind Wings slowly appeared in the blue sky, as a man wearing a Military wind jacket embroidered with a different pattern on its back flew toward the city rapidly. The man had a handsome, stubbled face. Although his collars were upright, an obvious scar going across his neck all the way to his chest could still be seen.

Personality
A shameless, perverted and responsible man willing to oppose societal norms to get what he wants. He also cares for the safety of future young Guardian Mages of China such as Mo Fan. He notably taught Mo Fan and other a true man should fulfill his promises.

"That person who was frozen under the cracks of Tian Shan Mountain… Even if his hair turned white by the time he became a Super-Tier Mage, he would still revisit Tian Shan Mountain to retrieve her (Qin Yu'er), either alive or dead. It was a promise that he would keep for the rest of his life! He knew he was responsible for Bo City’s calamity, too. The Darkwing Wolf, the Black Vatican, he would never forgive them. He would surely use the wolf’s blood and the heads of the Black Vatican to mourn the deceased of Bo City!"

Background
He was the only biological grandson of the Zu Clan's Third Grandfather who is the Vice-President of the Dubai Magic Association and member of the Holy City's Officials. He was the renown Zu Clan genius (non-Curse Element) of his generation.

Zu Xing Ying was a member of the National College Tournament 3 seasons (~12 years) before Mo Fan's national team, representing the Zu Clan and a Fire Element university student of the Pearl University in Shanghai. During his tenure as a national team mate, he became a couple with fellow member and genius Ice Mage Qin Yu'er.

During the Tournament, the Holy City enacted a false Heresy plot to restrain and seal away the natural Human Soul grade Seed singularity Qin Yu'er, with Zu Xing Ying opposing it in public. He had to watch her become sealed in Tian Shan and promised then that he will not let even death stop him from reuniting with her in the future. He was also expelled from the team to appease anger. To protect his only grandson, Zu Xing Ying's grandfather used his connections to erase 'Zu Xing Ying' from public and secretly assign the new Military Mage 'Zhan Kong' to the Southern Army for over a decade. Zhan Kong also had to work hard to obtain his own cultivation resources as a soldier. Eventually, Zhan Kong became the Chief of the Southern Army's outpost outside Bo City.

Plot
Zhan Kong first met Mo Fan during the student's first experience fighting monsters.

On the two sides of the stone gate were two sentries. Amongst them was a plain-shirted Battlemage who didn’t wear his uniform; he was leisurely playing with the flame in his hands. The small flame was like an obedient pet; moving actively within his hands. Occasionally, it would float around his body, it seemed wonderfully graceful.

University
After being reassigned to lead the Southern Army, Zhan Kong has been protecting Mo Fan from the shadow. Since the calamity of Bo City, Zhan Kong had always kept an eye on Mo Fan. He had even asked Dean Xiao to specifically look after him.

Zhan Kong knew it was only a matter of time until Mo Fan’s Double Innate Elements was made known to the public. After learning about the shocking experiment on the Demon Element that the military was performing behind the scenes, he had been keeping an eye on Lu Nian for quite some time. As he expected, he did make his move.

However, Zhan Kong had underestimated the devil’s madness. He had surprisingly asked his loyal subordinates to forfeit their positions in order to carry out his demented operation.

More than half of the students were killed. Even Mo Fan had disappeared due to the aftereffects, with no way of telling if he would survive in the end. Zhan Kong was so mad that he kept punching the ground with his fists. Why didn’t he act earlier to prevent this from happening!?

It was no longer possible to chase after Mo Fan. Zhan Kong had run out of the energy to do so. He had just flown all the way here without stopping, using up quite a huge chunk of his Wind Energy. Even with the Wind Wings, it would be rather difficult for him to catch up with the demonized Mo Fan’s ridiculous speed in the wild.

No one knew that Mo Fan had been demonized too. The only people who were aware of it were Zhan Kong, Dean Song He, Dean Xiao, Qiu Yuhua, and the four friends who Mo Fan had rescued.

Dongting Lake's Monster
The Southern Army was mainly in charge of the Demon Wolves Horde. Normally, the Dongting Lake’s Giant Lizard Horde was not their concern, but their Commander Zhan Kong had been keeping an eye on them recently. Even he, Zhan Kong, had no confidence that he could return from Dongting Lake in one piece.

Ancient City
Before the Ancient City Xi'an Undead Catastrophe, Zhan Kong undertook undercover work into the Black Vatican and obtained information for the Festival. During the Catastrophe, he put on the emperors garb in order to save Zhang Xiao Hou from it. Later he went to the Tianshan Mountains to save Yu'er who had been frozen in the mountain for many years.
