Background / History
Xu Sanshi has studied at Shrek Academy for several years and earned recognition as one of its outer court’s twin stars. His family supplies him with cultivation resources, including a Mystic Water Pill that he carries for possible use. Wang Dong identifies the Netherworld Sect as a producer of these pills 11.
Grilled-Fish Dispute and Wager
At Huo Yuhao’s stall, Xu Sanshi argues with Bei Bei over a grilled fish, wanting it for Jiang Nannan while Bei Bei wants it for Tang Ya. When Yuhao gives Wang Dong a reserved fish, Xu Sanshi angrily accuses him of allowing his friend to cut the queue. Wang Dong provokes him by questioning his strength, and their argument becomes a wagered duel 11.
Xu Sanshi offers to stand still and let Wang Dong attack: breaking through his defense will count as Wang Dong’s victory. He stakes a Mystic Water Pill, confident that a freshman cannot overcome his defensive strength 11.
Arena Duel
Xu Sanshi initially withstands Wang Dong’s Clear Sky Hammer attacks using the Mysterious Underworld Shield Formation. However, successive strikes from Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer grow increasingly powerful. His shield begins cracking, his soul power drains rapidly, and Wang Dong’s Golden Dragon King bloodline adds further pressure 12.
After roughly seventy accumulated blows, Xu Sanshi can no longer endure the attacks. He instinctively dodges the final strike, which splits the arena’s bluestone floor. His shield is shattered, and he is left dusty and bleeding at the mouth. He concedes the wager and hands over the pill 13.
Wang Dong acknowledges that the stationary-defense condition favored him and that Xu Sanshi, fourteen soul-power ranks higher, would likely be stronger in a normal fight. They agree to a future fair rematch. Xu Sanshi later insists that he had gone easy on Wang Dong, leading many students to discount the victory 13 18.
Joining the Tang Sect
During the shared meal after the duel, Xu Sanshi follows Wang Dong’s decision to join the Tang Sect, reasoning that learning additional skills cannot hurt. Jiang Nannan also joins, and all three begin listening to Tang Ya’s instruction in the sect’s arts 13.
Appearance
- Red hair, distinguishing him from the blue-haired Bei Bei during their argument at the fish stall 11.
Personality
Xu Sanshi is proud, outspoken, and quick to take offense when publicly challenged. His confidence in his defense leads him to give Wang Dong favorable duel conditions. Bei Bei describes him as outwardly carefree but fiercely competitive, warning that the public insult may have genuinely angered him 11 12.
He honors his wager despite losing and accepts Wang Dong’s offer of a fair rematch. His sportsmanship coexists with concern for his reputation: afterward, he repeatedly claims that he had held back 13 18.
Abilities & Skills
Xuanming Turtle
- Manifests as an enormous turtle phantom with intricate shell patterns and a heavy, imposing aura 12.
- Provides the basis for his formidable defensive abilities 11 12.
Mysterious Underworld Shield Formation
- Condenses soul power into an enormous shield in front of him 12.
- Bei Bei judges its defense strong enough that even an ordinary Soul King would struggle to break through 12.
- Maintaining it consumes soul power; Wang Dong’s escalating hammer strikes rapidly drain Xu Sanshi’s reserves and ultimately shatter the formation 12 13.
Tang Sect Arts
- Begins receiving instruction after joining the sect; no mastery is demonstrated in the supplied chapters 13.
- Tang Ya introduces Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eye, Mysterious Jade Hand, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and hidden weapon techniques 13.
Equipment / Items
- Mystic Water Pill — A family-provided cultivation resource kept in a porcelain bottle. Xu Sanshi loses it to Wang Dong in their wager; Wang Dong subsequently gives it to Huo Yuhao 11 13 14.
Relationships
- Jiang Nannan — His romantic interest; he calls her “my Nannan” and tries to secure grilled fish for her. The passages do not establish reciprocation 11 12.
- Bei Bei — A fellow senior student with whom he quarrels over grilled fish. Bei Bei knows his competitive temperament and assesses his defensive strength 11 12.
- Wang Dong — Duel opponent and later fellow Tang Sect member. Their initial hostility eases after Wang Dong candidly acknowledges the wager’s limitations 11 13.
- Tang Ya — Welcomes him into the Tang Sect and begins teaching him its techniques 13.
- Huo Yuhao — Initially intimidates Yuhao over the reserved fish; afterward, joins the group meal at Yuhao’s stall 11 13.
