Xu Sanshi

Biodata

Power Progression

Background & History

Xu Sanshi became Chen Yuan and Bei Bei's roommate at Shrek Academy. The three regularly train, spar, argue, and involve one another in their personal affairs, despite Xu Sanshi's tendency to prioritize Jiang Nannan over almost everything else. 6 11 42

His fixation on Jiang Nannan stems from a past transaction connected to her mother's medical expenses. Afterward, Xu Sanshi expended unstable origin power to help refine a Black Tortoise Divine Pill for her mother and continued caring for her in secret, hoping to make amends without revealing his actions. Jiang Nannan, however, remains hostile toward him because of their initial encounter and his persistent pursuit. 24 27

His Black Tortoise Martial Soul remains only partially awakened for much of the story. Xu Sanshi seeks a hawksbill-type Soul Beast—ideally a Golden Hawksbill Turtle—for a Soul Ring that could stabilize or fully awaken the Martial Soul. 12 81 112

Personality

Xu Sanshi is impulsive, carefree, and often shameless in pursuit of Jiang Nannan. He readily abandons his friends when she appears, attempts grand gestures to impress her, and lets his judgment slip whenever her safety or attention is involved. 12 27 59

Despite his immature behavior, he is capable of loyalty and responsibility. He quietly supports Jiang Nannan's mother, protects Jiang Nannan in battle even when she has defensive options of her own, and pushes himself to cultivate after being criticized for not working hard enough. 24 100 112

Abilities & Skills

Mystic Underworld Tortoise Shell Shield

Black Tortoise Awakening

Xu Sanshi can enter an unstable awakening state when subjected to intense emotional fluctuations. The awakening increases his soul power and grants him Ring Fusion, but he cannot reliably control it. 12 81

• Mystic Underworld Shock — one of the three skills fused during Black Tortoise Awakening. 100
