Bai Chang is Ziya's childhood friend and his first companion in Fengshen Yanyi 2.

Role in Game

Known by the village to be "tied to the hip", Bai Chang has been with Ziya for as long as any of the boys can remember. He goes with his friend, advising him to listen to the village elder. When their village is attacked by monsters called Savage Beasts, Bai Chang promises to protect Ziya on their journey to find the cause.

As they return to close the gate where Li Lan first appeared, Ling Ya Xian is there to stop them. Ziya charges at the Nine Dragon member but gets knocked aside due to the man's immense strength. Bai Chang tries to distract the brute by throwing his weapon at him, but he is unable to defend himself against the beating delivered by Ling Ya Xian. After Ziya, Li Lan and Taigong Wang defeat Ling Ya Xian's monsters, a dying Bai Chang passes away in Ziya's arms. He is buried on the same cliff he died with his hat placed on top of his grave marker.

Later in the game, Ziya can initiate an optional quest to prove his strength to the departed Bai Chang by slaying nine Savage Beasts in consecutive order. When Ling Ya Xian is defeated, Ziya is relieved to have finally avenged Bai Chang. He reunites with his friend's spirit in Emperor Ling's realm. Ziya pleads for his friend to return to the real world, but Bai Chang rationalizes that he can't since he's dead. Sincerely accepting his friend's lingering guilt, they bid one another a fond farewell.

Personality

Bai Chang is the opposite of Ziya, being careful and not fond of taking heavy risks. However, he acts as a protective older brother to Ziya, always watching out for him. Ziya eventually admits that Bai Chang is more skilled and has never been able to surpass him in anything.

Fighting Style

Bai Chang is basically a slower version of Ziya. He has a longer reach with his attacks and is a good support character for Li Lan. Although he doesn't stay for very long, he is useful in the time given to him.

The super combination attack with Ziya, Li Lan and Taigong Wang briefly features him during its execution.
