Background

Liu Sishan grew up in the same orphanage as Zhang Ping’s original body. Known then as Liu Sisi, she was three years older than him and briefly taught him her invented childhood routine, Heaven-Shattering, Earth-Rending Sisi’s Invincible Fist. She entered Pearl Ability Academy three years before Zhang and graduated early, later joining the Investigation Team. She also donated money to the orphanage after leaving. 11

While serving with the Investigation Team, Liu once entered Salt Frost Tree Valley when her water ability was still primarily defensive. She barely survived the experience and never obtained a Salt Frost Fruit. 22 23

By the Heavenly Fox infiltration crisis, Liu is a Cleanup Team operative. She initially detains and interrogates Zhang to establish whether he is human, but relays his intelligence rather than dismissing it. The Cleanup Team then assigns her and Manny to covertly protect and monitor him. 11 12 13

After Jin Bo is disciplined for losses under his command, Situ Shibai appoints Liu as the Cleanup Team’s Combat Team leader, citing her steadiness and reliability. 35

Appearance

Liu Sishan is usually seen in white clothing and wears an icy mask that conceals a severe facial scar. Her calm eyes are among the few visible features beneath the mask. 11 21 39

• Frequently maintains floating water spheres around herself in combat. 21 23
• Keeps her facial scar hidden and does not ask Zhang Ping to remove it, despite his healing ability. 39 40
• Can surround herself in pure water to travel rapidly. 31

Personality

Liu is composed, disciplined, and intensely cautious. She does not accept Zhang’s claims blindly, even when they prove useful, because the Heavenly Foxes’ distortion abilities make deception a constant threat. 11 12

She is a demanding but observant mentor. Her training pushes Zhang into dangerous situations, yet she studies his reactions, identifies his weaknesses, and adapts her plans as his abilities change. 20 21 26 28

Although emotionally guarded, Liu is protective of Zhang and Liu Tiefeng. Her anger when Zhang consumes potentially parasitized meat stems from genuine fear for his life, and she repeatedly prioritizes the safety of those under her protection. 25 38 41

Liu’s loyalty is directed toward Mingzhu City rather than any individual. Even while respecting Situ Shibai, she does not trust him—or anyone else—completely. 40

Abilities & Skills

Water Element Manipulation

Liu stores water-element energy by drinking water, then manipulates the energy within her body at will. Her ability’s ease of activation allowed her to develop rapidly. 11 21

• Forms water spheres for offense, defense, and movement. 21 23
• Creates water bullets capable of piercing stones and cutting targets. 21
• Produces shields, barriers, water palms, and restraining liquid bodysuits. 12 21 26
• Shapes water into ice paths for mobility. 23
• Can envelop herself in water to move rapidly. 31
• Cannot directly control natural water or water created by another ability user. 26

Energy Compression

An Intermediate skill that compresses her internal water-element energy, greatly increasing how much energy she can store. 11

Water Temperature Regulation

An Advanced skill allowing Liu to adjust water created from her water-element energy between −150°C and 200°C. 11

• Uses boiling water, ordinary water, and ice interchangeably in battle. 23
• Creates ice-laced, high-pressure water attacks capable of decapitating Intermediate Mutated Beasts. 18
• Forms Water Whips that can slice, restrain, or strike at range. 21 38

Combat Assessment

Liu’s water manipulation gives her strong battlefield control, versatile defense, and powerful ranged offense. She effortlessly killed two Heavenly Foxes that had overwhelmed Zhang Ping and Wang Jieming. 18

• Her Water Whips are stronger than Zhang’s Chainsaw Form. 27
• Her water-based attacks are naturally disadvantaged against Zhang’s Pure Water Body, which can absorb or recover from them. 26
• Zhang’s Nethermist Flying Knife pierced her water barrier before she could react, demonstrating that she can be vulnerable when caught off guard. 26

Equipment

• Icy mask — Conceals her facial scar. 11 39
• Communication badge — Used to contact Situ Shibai and other Cleanup Team members. 12 13
• Warm Jade — Paired with Zhang’s Cold Jade; becomes hot when Zhang heats the Cold Jade with flames, serving as an emergency alert. 14
• Healing Potion — Used to stabilize Liu Tiefeng after Heavenly Fox severed his arm. 38

Relationships

• Zhang Ping — Childhood acquaintance and later Cleanup Team informant under her protection. She becomes his combat mentor, confidante, and trusted partner. 11 13 21 47
• Situ Shibai — Cleanup Team captain who appoints her Combat Team leader and entrusts her with protecting Zhang Ping and Liu Tiefeng. Liu respects him but remains guarded. 35 40 41
• Manny — Cleanup Team colleague assigned alongside Liu to covertly protect Zhang; Manny’s Black Chamber was used for Zhang’s initial interrogation. 12 13 19
• Liu Tiefeng — Elderly mentor of Zhang Ping whom Liu rescues from Heavenly Fox and helps protect during the crisis. 38 39
• Jin Bo — Former Combat Team leader whom Liu replaces after his disciplinary action. 35
• Chen Ming — Cleanup Team strategist who participates in meetings concerning Liu’s missions and leadership. 19 35

Story Role / Major Arcs

Heavenly Fox Investigation

Liu brings Zhang into a Black Chamber and gives him five minutes to prove he is human. His recitation of her childhood fist-technique chant confirms their connection, though she continues to scrutinize his information. 11 12

After the Cleanup Team verifies several of Zhang’s Heavenly Fox identifications, Liu becomes his covert protector and contact. Together, they establish coded signals and the Cold Jade/Warm Jade emergency-warning system to counter perception distortion. 13 14

Combat Training Expedition

With the Illusory Light Curtain only temporarily containing the Heavenly Foxes, Liu takes Zhang outside Mingzhu City for intensive combat training. She uses controlled water attacks to expose his weaknesses and helps him discover that reabsorbing his own flames can restore stamina. 20 21

She guides him through Salt Mountain Valley, challenges his reluctance to take risks, and participates in the battle for Salt Frost Fruits. Her adaptable water spheres allow her to fight effectively amid the chaotic conflict. 22 23

Testing Zhang Ping’s New Abilities

After Zhang acquires Pure Water Body, Liu methodically tests its functions and weaknesses. She recognizes its strong countereffect against her own power and explains the danger of King Bloodline inherited by Nethermist Mutated Beasts. 26 27

When Zhang attempts to gain further constitutions by consuming dangerous materials, Liu supplies antidotes and deliberately gives him poisoned iron to teach him caution. She ultimately advises him to focus on mastering Pure Water Body and Nethermist Body rather than chasing random abilities. 28

Cleanup Team Leadership and Mingzhu City Crisis

Liu responds to Zhang’s warning about the Zhu Family’s attempted abduction of Chen Juntaing, immediately rushing toward the city after the Barrier Team fails to detect the intruders. 31 32

She becomes Combat Team leader during the escalating crisis and continues coordinating with Situ Shibai, Manny, Lu Han, and the Cleanup Team while safeguarding Zhang and Liu Tiefeng. 35 41

During the living-corpse siege, Liu permits Zhang to enter her body in Pure-Blood Form. The process heals her hidden injuries and fatigue while rapidly restoring Zhang’s mental strength. She later stops him from recklessly probing the stone palace directing the siege, insisting on following Situ Shibai’s orders. 46

Guidance Against Corruption

Liu explains the distinction between Lost Ones—Awakened overtaken by their abilities—and Fallen Ones, whose abilities develop independent consciousness and transform them into monsters. 47

When Zhang confesses to killing Zeng Xiaofan in anger, Liu does not excuse him, but chooses not to report him. She encourages him to retain control over his body and mind rather than surrender to the influence of his abilities. 47

Notable Quotes

“No. The captain said that tonight, we should focus on observation and not act rashly.” 46

“The captain’s arrangements must be the result of careful consideration.” 46

“Nothing is impossible. Different abilities inherently advance at vastly different speeds.” 21

Trivia

• Liu is afraid of bugs, though Zhang considers her reaction closer to disgust than intense fear. 27
• Zhang explicitly regards Liu as a dependable comrade and partner rather than a romantic interest. 40
