Baxia

After losing his master and comrades during the Battle of the Twin Dragons, Baxia, the spirit of the Mystic Tortoise, took on the responsibility of protecting the Cadia Riverlands. While unshakeable like a mountain on the outside, the weight of the fallen had a heavy toll on his life. But the appearance of Yu Zhong and the new Oriental Fighters opened a new chapter in his story. Baxia meditated on the choices he's made and realized that he could no longer cling to the past. Thus, he decided to let go of his burdens and focus on forging a new path. The roads he had walked will always be there, but the future is decided today. Baxia has almost finished packing his things. When the Black Dragon's seal was broken, a chapter of Baxia's life concluded. Yu Zhong had regained his powers and left in pursuit of the Evil God Lieh.

There was a Nature Spirit named Baxia who had been born with human form. He held dual shields and moved like a fiery wheel. Wherever he went, his flames would scorch the vegetation and crack the earth. The nearby villagers thought Baxia was a demonic beast and tried many times to subdue him. Unbeknownst to them, Baxia himself resented his existence. He never wished to be born with these flames that only caused fear and destruction. No matter how much he had attempted to smother the flames or avoid others, he could never find peace. When Baxia's conscious first awoke, he was a wild and unruly Nature Spirit. Anyone or anything that got too close would suffer his wrath, until he was visited by the White Dragon. Instead of punishing the upstart, the dragon had come because the Mystic Tortoise of the Four Immortals chose Baxia as his successor. The White Dragon erected a barrier and personally instructed Baxia for ten days, helping him to control his flames and move like he never thought he could. Baxia was deeply honored to have the Whit
