Background / History
Xu Sanshi first appears at Shrek Academy when he tries to snatch Huo Yuhao’s grilled fish, provoking a confrontation with Tang Ya and Lin Qianyi. Beibei intervenes and challenges him to a duel in the Battle Soul Arena, drawing a large crowd that includes Wang Dong and Jiang Nannan 8.
He is already known as Beibei’s defensive counterpart in the Outer Court. Tang Ya describes Beibei as the “Outer Court’s Strongest Attack,” while Xu Sanshi “dominates the defense field” through a mutated Martial Soul with water control and exceptional defense. Together, they are called the “Twin Stars of the Outer Court” 8.
Before their duel, Beibei pressures Xu Sanshi over a Mysterious Water Pill and turns the match into a wager. Xu Sanshi accepts despite recognizing Beibei’s scheming, showing both competitiveness and willingness to gamble 9. On the Battle Soul Stage, his defense clashes with Beibei’s offense, but Beibei uses a surprise Spiritual Detection-based disruption to break through and win. Xu Sanshi loses the bet and hands over the Mysterious Water Pill 9 10.
During the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, Xu Sanshi is part of Shrek Academy’s lineup against Douling Advanced Soul Master Academy 50. In a later match, he partners with Jiang Nannan against Yang Yifan and Yu Mengdi. After Yu Mengdi attacks Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi reveals his Black Tortoise Martial Soul and defeats both opponents, securing victory 54.
Elder Mu later requests that Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan join the Tang Sect, placing them among the group he personally advises near the end of his life 85. Xu Sanshi continues appearing with the Tang Sect team in later competition arcs, including the match preparations against the Iron Sword Sect and team combat against Mingyu Sect 146 192.
Personality
Xu Sanshi is introduced as arrogant and aggressive, escalating a food dispute into a public confrontation 8. His rivalry with Beibei shows a more competitive side: he accepts bets, endures Beibei’s schemes, and still fights seriously on the Battle Soul Stage 9.
His strongest emotional trait is his attachment to Jiang Nannan. He has a visible soft spot for her despite her distant attitude, and his protectiveness becomes decisive when she is threatened in battle 8 54. His infatuation can also distract him, as shown before the Iron Sword Sect match, where Jiang Nannan appears unimpressed by his behavior 146.
