11 Overview
22  
33 The Three Sages are the founding trio of Jixia Academy: Fuzi, Mozi, and Zhuangzi. Together they built and still oversee the academy that sits in the mountains northeast of the Zhulu Plateau. Each Sage represents a different knowledge tradition, and Jixia's three specialist schools are implied to align with their disciplines. In Honor of Kings: World they function as the academy's senior faculty and as major story figures the player encounters throughout the main questline.

55 Fuzi

77 Fuzi is the founder of Jixia Academy and the first of the Three Sages. The official Honor of Kings lore portal describes him as "the leader of the Three Sages of Jixia, the strongest man in the region, and probably the wisest elder in Primaera." His philosophy is to accept any capable student and teach to individual aptitude, which is one reason why Jixia has become a meeting place for talents from across the continent. Fuzi is the academy's spiritual anchor and the figure most closely associated with Jixia's founding principle that "the truth is what you make of it."

99 Mozi
1010  
1111 Mozi is the second of the Three Sages, originally known as "Mo di," a youth who spent 30 years exploring Jixia and the surrounding region. According to the lore portal, Mo di grasped the principles of long-forgotten machinery and invented what became known as Mohist Machinery, a tradition of mechanical engineering that blends ancient magic with physical craftsmanship. He built the Mozi Arena within Jixia Academy, which is used for martial contests and entrance trials. Mozi is also credited with designing the mechanical infrastructure of Chang'an, which was built atop the mysterious Mecharium under his supervision. He was later given the honorary name Mozi and canonized as one of the Three Sages. See the dedicated Mozi page for more on his inventions and legacy.

1313 Zhuangzi
1414  
1515 Zhuangzi is the third of the Three Sages, a Taoist philosopher-figure whose teachings emphasize natural order and the interplay of dream and waking reality. In the context of the academy he represents the contemplative and metaphysical tradition that sits alongside Fuzi's humanist wisdom and Mozi's mechanical innovation. In Honor of Kings: World's S0 launch (April 10, 2026), Zhuangzi appears as an NPC Sage of Jixia Academy and the creator of Dreaming Word Lakeside (梦语湖畔). He is not a playable Resonance at S0 launch. Pre-launch coverage suggested his HoKW adaptation might shift him toward a tank role in a future season; that has not been confirmed by TiMi.

1717 Relationship to the Three Schools
1818  
1919 Jixia Academy is officially described as being made up of three specialist schools for gifted students. TiMi has not named all three schools in publicly available English-language materials, and the common community assumption that Fuzi, Mozi, and Zhuangzi each head a distinct school is an inference rather than a confirmed mapping. Official marketing does confirm the existence of a "Tower of Enlightenment" within the academy and references the "Enlightenment Trails" with Frostcloud Town champion Novar, which suggests at least one of the schools or core curricula is "Enlightenment" themed.

2121 Role in the Story
2222  
2323 As senior faculty, the Three Sages are central to the player character's arc. When the player's connection to the Primordial Flow begins to manifest uncontrollably, the senior scholars of Jixia, led by the Sages, take notice. Over the course of the main story the player receives instruction, guidance, and quests from each Sage as the mystery of the Wilting deepens and the stakes escalate beyond academy life.
