Gu Sanshui

Biodata

Background / History

Mo City “New Soul” Tournament

Although he lived in Mo City, Gu Sanshui entered the “New Soul” tournament representing Xiunuocheng, his ancestral city. He hoped to improve its placement and earn a place in the higher-level tournament. Spirit Hall had not explicitly forbidden this unusual arrangement, allowing him to compete through a loophole 12.

He faced Xiao Wu in the final against Nuoding City. His repeated Water Arrows initially prevented her from closing the distance, but she dodged without using a Soul Skill. As his Soul Power declined, his firing speed and frequency dropped. Xiao Wu exploited the opening and knocked him unconscious with a downward kick enhanced by Waist Bow 12.

Nuoding City won the tournament, but Xiao Yao and Xiao Wu chose not to continue to the next level. Their withdrawal gave Gu Sanshui and his twin sister, Gu Yihan, the opportunity to compete on the higher-level stage 13.

Heaven Dou City Reunion

A year and a half later, Gu Sanshui and Gu Yihan encountered Xiao Yao and Xiao Wu while queuing to enter Heaven Dou City. They initially failed to recognize the pair because their appearances had changed dramatically. During the ensuing conversation, Gu Sanshui asked questions about Xiao Yao’s development, hoping to change his own short, plump build 21.

The siblings were visiting their cousins’ family during the holiday. Their older cousins, Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er, arrived to collect them. Gu Sanshui enthusiastically greeted the sisters and brought them over to Xiao Yao and Xiao Wu, helping introduce the two groups 21 22.

Appearance

• Short and heavily built: At about ten, he was only as tall as the six-year-old Tang San, though his brawny physique made his height less noticeable 12.
• Rapid physical development: By nearly twelve, his physique was compared to that of a fifteen-year-old, but he was still described as short and plump 21.

Personality

Gu Sanshui is dissatisfied with his short, plump figure and aspires to become tall, strong, and handsome like Xiao Yao. He is openly affectionate toward his cousins, bounding over excitedly when they arrive to meet him in Heaven Dou City 21.

Abilities & Skills

First Soul Skill: Water Arrow

Through his Tuna Martial Soul, Gu Sanshui fires a fast-moving arrow of highly condensed water from his mouth 12.

• Impact: A missed shot blasts a fist-sized pit into the ground; the narration states that a direct hit could break several bones 12.
• Ranged pressure: Repeated shots allow him to fight like a stationary gun emplacement, initially forcing back Xiao Wu’s approaches 12.
• Skill quality: Ma Xiunuo judges Water Arrow to be high-grade, comparing it to his own second Soul Skill 12.
• Limitation: Its high Soul Power consumption makes sustained firing costly. Exhaustion reduces both his attack speed and firing frequency, leaving him vulnerable to close-range attacks 12.

Relationships

• Gu Yihan — His older twin sister and fellow Xiunuocheng tournament contestant. They later travel together to visit their cousins in Heaven Dou City 12 21.
• Shui Bing’er — His older cousin, whom he addresses as “Eldest Cousin.” She recalls whipping him when they were children 21 39.
• Shui Yue’er — His older cousin, addressed as “Second Cousin”; she accompanies Shui Bing’er to collect the visiting siblings 21 22.
• Xiao Wu — His tournament opponent, who defeats him by outlasting his Water Arrow barrage before closing in 12.
• Xiao Yao — A tournament acquaintance whose tall, strong appearance becomes Gu Sanshui’s ideal for his own physique 21.
