==Biography==
===The Successor===
Living a poor life in Wong Village, Yun was forced into having to steal in order to look after his grandmother. He didn't like having to do this, but he finds himself forced into this by Sun Tzu Wang who threatens him and demands he do so for his grandmother. However, Yun eventually grows fed up with this life after a round of stealing and stands up to Sun Tzu Wang despite being outmatched.
Fortunately for Yun, one of the people he had stolen from was the Earthen Heart Shifu who notices the boy's bravery and arrives in time to save him. Seeing this, Yun asks the Shifu to train him. The Shifu allows the young boy to join his lessons and trains him along with two other students, Lei Kugo and Hong Hakka. The three of them train extensively for three days under the Shifu's instructions.
Eventually, they hear about an attack on Yunfa, so the Shifu tells the three of them to remain at the dojo while he handles it. However, during his absence, members of the Indomitable Fist attack the dojo. If Yun is not the most trained disciple, he will be killed in the attack.
If Yun is the most trained disciple, he realizes how much the Indomitable Fist overpowered him and his companions and hides while Lei and Hong are killed. The aftermath fills him with guilt and he feels unworthy of the Earthen Heart as a result. However, the Shifu assures him that he shouldn't blame himself for their deaths telling the young man that he was the one who had provoked them, assuring Yun that the Indomitable Fist would pay for their crimes.
Before leaving, the Shifu teaches Yun his strongest technique, Heavenly Peaks Descent. However, Yun realizes where the Shifu was going and arrives to help feeling he should take action for Lei and Hong, knowing they wouldn't want him to lay back and do nothing. They then make their way to Ou Di Wan Lee and forced to battle his strongest fighters. After beating them all, Ou Di Wan Lee reveals two assassins to finish them off. With this, the Shifu tells Yun to face Ou Di Wan Lee in his place.
Yun manages to best Ou Di Wan Lee in battle, avenging Lei and Hong. However, he finds the Shifu to be dying from his own fight. The Shifu tells Yun how proud he is of the boy's growth before passing.
Later Yun continues to hone his skills and break the boulder atop the mountain, honoring his Shifu and allies and proving himself worthy of being the Earthen Heart Master.
===The Dominion of Hate===
Soon after he announces his title of Master, Odio whisks him away to the ruined Lucrece, the boy arriving on the peak of the Last Hero's Grave (formerly the Hero's Rest). If not the leader, he will be befriended without any other conditions.
In the game's best ending, he alongside the other six heroes take down Odio, freeing Oersted from his darkness. If chosen as protagonist, Yun expresses to Oersted how he asked too much of himself and lets him know that he understands when one is struggling to the point of not knowing what to do.
During the game's epilogue, he's shown instructing young disciples of Earthen Heart, while Sun Tzu Wang and his lackeys meekly await their turn, showing that they've buried the hatchet.
===Bad Endings===
If the player chooses to kill Oersted after taking down Purity of Odio, A worried Yun thinks what the Shifu would've done in that situation. Since Oersted was killed too early, the Lord of Dark's hatred is free to continue the cycle, and Yun along with the other six heroes are presumably trapped in Lucrece.
If Oersted was chosen for the Dominion of Hate,
