Xiong Tu is the eldest of three Xiong brothers, a rank three upper stage earth path Gu Master whom Fang Yuan binds to Shang Xin Ci with a Fan half-token.
At an Auspicious Festival stall before their home in Shang Clan City, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing find three brothers who have all been thrashed by one or the other on the battle stage. Xiong Tu is shortest among the three, humble and honest. His brothers are Xiong Huo and Xiong Feng. All three have B grade aptitude, came to the city aiming to become Shang clan external elders, and can temporarily match a rank four Gu Master when their combination strike lands. ch. 329
Appearance
He is the shortest among the three brothers. ch. 329
Fang Yuan wants them under Shang Xin Ci. Xiong Tu cups his fists first and asks if they offended him. When Xiong Feng edges toward refusal, Xiong Tu rushes to cover it and claims they would gladly serve Shang Xin Ci. Fang Yuan tosses him a Fan half-token; he catches it, then at Xiong Feng’s urging produces their matching half. The pieces fit, illusionary fire burns, and the brothers kneel for a twenty year service oath under their grandfather’s debt. They shout their three names in greeting to Lady Xin Ci. ch. 329
Fang Yuan’s previous-life memory places them as descendants of the demonic Gu Master behind that Fan token, men who in that life found the stall half-token a year later and served its owner for twenty years before leaving. ch. 329
