Background

Zhao Si was formerly a Bonded Farmer. His main family perished during the chaos, leaving him without relatives; his father had served as a fighter for that family and taught Zhao Si enough martial arts to survive. At roughly fifteen or sixteen, Zhao Si was the sole survivor among four gang members who had opened the gate for Zhao Han. Despite being bloodied and exhausted, he remained at the wealth carriage during the Poisonous Snake Gang's internal slaughter. 113

Zhao Han recognized Zhao Si's loyalty and steadfastness, promoted him to stay at his side, and instructed him not to kneel so readily. The appointment elevated Zhao Si above the other surviving gang members, who regarded his future as promising. 113

Appearance

Zhao Si is a sturdy, medium-built youth. Though initially unremarkable in appearance, his brisk, powerful gait marks him as a capable Martial Artist. 113 657

• Medium build at his first appearance. 113
• Physically robust from external-conditioning martial arts. 660
• Fought in close combat with a visibly strengthened, muscular physique while using Tiger Fiend Vajra Body. 660

Personality

Zhao Si is deeply loyal to Zhao Han, treating his leader's orders as final even when other gang members try to provoke him into challenging Zhao Han's decisions. He does desire advancement, including the position of vice-gang leader, but refuses to pursue it through dissent or factionalism. 196

He is diligent, obedient, and notably discreet. Zhao Si carries out unusual errands without prying into Zhao Han's private affairs, whether procuring cultivation materials, preparing medicinal soups, or assisting with late-night copying work. 288 299

His early combat style was overly straightforward: he favored direct confrontation even when equipped with hidden weapons and magic treasures. After Zhao Han reprimanded him during the battle aboard the Fuyou Hao, Zhao Si accepted the lesson and used a poison dart to kill Blood Snake. 660 661

Zhao Si remains resolute under extreme pain. While held hostage by fish demons, he repeatedly attempted to warn Zhao Han about the surrounding ambush even after his arms and legs were crushed. 694

“I only work for the Gang Leader. I do whatever the Gang Leader tells me to do.” 196

Abilities & Skills

External-Conditioning Martial Arts

Zhao Si developed a strong, durable body through external conditioning rather than relying solely on conventional cultivation.

• Tiger Fiend Vajra Body — Releases Fiend energy, enlarging and hardening his musculature for greater strength and defense. 660
• Tiger Wind Mountain Splitting Fist — A forceful fist art that projects fist energy with the power of a roaring tiger. 660
• His body endured direct exchanges with Blood Snake's saber energy, though he was injured and pushed back by the stronger opponent. 660
• His Blood Refining physique gave him the endurance to survive severe draining by the Yin Yang Sect long enough to retaliate. 649 652

Hidden Weapons and Tactical Combat

After Zhao Han's instruction, Zhao Si began using the resources in his Storage Ring rather than relying exclusively on hand-to-hand combat.

• Used a diamond-shaped poison dart magic treasure to instantly kill Blood Snake. 661
• Has access to hidden weapons, talismans, magic treasures, and survival supplies provided by Zhao Han. 661
• Learned that retreat, deception, and decisive killing are preferable to a fair but unwinnable fight. 661

Paper Tiger Command

Zhao Si can command a Paper Tiger supplied by Zhao Han.

• Ordered the Paper Tiger to slaughter the Blood Flood Dragon Pirate Group aboard the Blood Flood Dragon Hao. 663
• Can recall and store the Paper Tiger in a Storage Ring. 663
• The Paper Tiger is vulnerable to water and fire before its eyes are dotted. 663

Equipment

• Storage Ring — Contains hidden weapons, talismans, magic treasures, survival supplies, and the Paper Tiger. 661
• Poison Dart — A diamond-shaped hidden magic treasure with poison potent enough to kill Blood Snake instantly. 661
• Paper Tiger — A paper creation capable of overwhelming the Blood Flood Dragon Pirate Group. 663

Relationships

• Zhao Han — Leader and benefactor. Zhao Han recruited Zhao Si for his loyalty, gave him a Talent Pill and martial arts manuals, entrusted him with gang business, and later revived him after his death. 113 154 219 696
• Xiang Yuekui — Zhao Si was ordered to watch her at the Shen Family and prevent her from escaping. 219
• Little Black — Traveling companion who accompanied Zhao Han and Zhao Si to the Yongzhou coast; both were captured by fish spirits near Li State. 655 693
• Blood Snake — Pirate adversary who initially injured Zhao Si and attempted to recruit him; Zhao Si later killed him with a poison dart. 660 661
• Yin Yang Sect — Captured and severely drained Zhao Si because of his potential. After Zhao Han's intervention, Zhao Si killed two of the sect's Bone Refining Realm disciples. 647 652

Story Role / Major Arcs

Poisonous Snake Gang Succession

During the collapse of the rebel army and the Poisonous Snake Gang's internal fighting, Zhao Si protected a carriage of wealth rather than fleeing. Zhao Han recruited him as a personal subordinate after learning that Zhao Si's family was gone. 113

Zhao Si later received a Talent Pill, martial arts manuals, and responsibility for purchasing weapons, protective gear, and cultivation elixirs for the gang. 154

Devouring Boy Gang Service

As Zhao Han withdrew from daily gang management, Zhao Si remained one of his closest retainers. He supervised Xiang Yuekui, managed arrivals at the gang, assisted with errands, and upheld Zhao Han's authority when other members questioned leadership decisions. 196 219 271

During the journey toward Liangzhou, Zhao Si reached the Muscle Refining Realm through steady practice. 213

Yin Yang Sect Captivity

The Yin Yang Sect abducted Zhao Si and Dong Congzhi because of their potential. Zhao Si was held and severely drained, but Zhao Han's mental transmission restored his clarity. Zhao Si then killed the two Bone Refining Realm disciples restraining him. 647 652

After escaping, he aided Zhao Han in clearing the sect's alchemy area and collecting its resources. 653

Sea Journey and Pirate Battle

Zhao Si negotiated passage for himself and Zhao Han aboard the Fuyou Hao, impressing its steward with his strength before the ship sailed. 657

When Blood Snake attacked, Zhao Si initially relied on direct combat and was seriously injured. Zhao Han's telepathic reprimand changed his approach; Zhao Si used a poison dart to kill Blood Snake and later commanded the Paper Tiger during the destruction of the Blood Flood Dragon Pirate Group. 660 661 663

Fish Spirit Ambush and Revival

Fish spirits captured Zhao Si and Little Black to lure Zhao Han into an ambush. Zhao Si endured the crushing of both arms and legs while trying to warn Zhao Han about a Dragon Person nearby. 693 694

The Dragon Person killed Zhao Si, but Zhao Han reattached his head and administered a Life-Saving Pill. Zhao Si's wounds healed and his limbs regenerated, allowing him to recover and continue traveling with Zhao Han. 695 696 697
