Personality

Xu Sanshi is intensely infatuated with Jiang Nannan and reacts aggressively to boys who approach her. He treats her interactions with Ling Feng as a personal provocation, attempting to intimidate Ling Feng and later challenging him to a Soul Fighting match. 25 26

Following his defeat, he becomes melodramatic and withdrawn, repeatedly waiting by his classroom window in hopes of seeing Jiang Nannan. His classmates ridicule this behavior, cementing his “Simp Turtle” and “Ultimate Turtle” nicknames. 35

He is also prone to self-serving interpretations of Jiang Nannan’s actions; when she asks about his recovery and the unpaid Mystic Water Pills, he immediately assumes she is worried about him or still has feelings for him. 36

Story Role / Major Arcs

Conflict with Ling Feng

Xu Sanshi interrupts Ling Feng and Jiang Nannan’s meal, orders Ling Feng to leave, and threatens him for being close to Jiang Nannan. Jiang Nannan defends Ling Feng and states that she is willing to be with him, exposing Xu Sanshi’s possessiveness to the surrounding students. 25 26

He accepts Ling Feng’s challenge in the Soul Fighting Area and wagers two Mystic Water Pills against Ling Feng’s expulsion from Shrek Academy. 26

Defeat in the Soul Fighting Arena

Xu Sanshi releases his martial soul and prepares to face Ling Feng, but Ling Feng first disrupts him with a Spirit Eyes mental attack before striking with Ultimate Ice-enhanced claws. Xu Sanshi is sent flying from the arena and defeated in a single move. 27

The blow damages his martial soul and leaves lethal Ultimate Ice energy within him. Ling Feng removes the external ice but states that Xu Sanshi must recover from the remaining chill through prolonged treatment, including hot springs. 28

“Ultimate Turtle” Reputation

After roughly a month of recuperation, Xu Sanshi no longer dares to openly pursue Jiang Nannan. He instead watches for her from his classroom window, repeatedly dramatizing his supposed decision to let her go. His peers mock him behind his back as the “Simp Turtle” and “Ultimate Turtle.” 35

Mystic Water Pill Debt

Xu Sanshi delays paying the two Mystic Water Pills he lost to Ling Feng. Jiang Nannan confronts him on Ling Feng’s behalf and obtains the pills after refusing to entertain his attempts at flirting. Ling Feng then reveals himself, takes the pills, and leaves with Jiang Nannan. 36
