Sha Hu

As both the former 2nd Temple Master of Shadowed Star’s Sea Temple and the former Island Master of Shadowed Soul Island, Sha Hu first meets Yang Kai after the latter incidentally ends up on his small island within the Forbidden Zone.

## Appearance

**Sha Hu** appears as an old man with a short stature. Despite his age, he has extraordinarily muscular and toned physique.

## Personality

Though jaded by past experiences, Sha Hu maintains an honorable disposition.

## Past

About 300 years before Yang Kai arrived on Shadowed Soul Island, Sha Hu was the 2nd Temple Master of Sea Temple. However, he would accidentally end up stumbling into Shadowed Soul Island with his men, where he would be stranded as its Island Master. Eventually, Sha Hu would be betrayed by his constituents, lead by the ambitious Ming Yue, who would subsequently drive him away from the island.

## History

### Shadowed Soul Island

Sha Hu would first meet Yang Kai as the latter was collecting the Shadowed Heaven Lotuses he gathered on his own island. After shockingly losing to Yang Kai in a contest of strength, Sha Hu would eventually come to befriend and respect the latter after Yang Kai helps him to greatly increase his strength through the Alchemic refinement of highly effective Body Tempering Pills. Seeking to get revenge on Ming Yue, the traitorous, greedy, and cruel current Island Master of Shadowed Soul Island, Sha Hu eventually returns there alongside Yang Kai.

In their eventual rematch, Sha Hu does in fact have the strength to now contend with Ming Yue due to Yang Kai's pills, but Ming Yue reveals that he can actually use Saint Qi on Shadowed Soul Island due to his possession of a Star Emperor Token. Unable to face Ming Yue due to this disadvantage, Sha Hu steps aside to allow Yang Kai to handle the former, whom is subsequently easily disposed of by Xiao Xiao and Liu Yan. Later, Sha Hu follows Yang Kai out of Shadowed Soul Island to return to Sea Temple for the first time in over 300 years.

### The Prestige of Star Master

A short while later, Yang Kai returns to Sea Temple in order to start working on a trade relationship he previously negotiated by Sha Hu. However, he is surprisingly met with fierce resistance from two of Sea Temple's Temple Masters, in Qi Yun Hai and Jiang Huai An. When Sha Hu unsuccessfully tries to talk Jiang Huai An, who irrationally believes Sha Hu covets his position as the Head Temple Master, out of attacking Yang Kai with the Sect's Protective Array, Yang Kai informs the former that he has no intention of running away.

To the shock of everyone present, Yang Kai subsequently destroys Sea Temple's most powerful Array in an instant, before using his terrifying power as the Star Master of Shadowed Star to instantly subdue Jiang Huai An. Sparing Sea Temple due to his good relationship with Sha Hu, Yang Kai proceeds to set up a trade agreement with Qi Yun Hai and the others.

### Higher Martial Dao

Later, Sea Temple and the Sea Clan, now sharing friendlier relations than ever, would come under the attack of Wu Sheng Feng, a powerful cultivator from a higher world. Sha Hu, as the foremost powerhouse of Sea Temple, is absolutely no match for this cultivator, who appears to have the power to destroy Shadowed Star. However, their Star Master, Yang Kai, would eventually show up and assist the two influences by confronting Wu Sheng Feng. Though even Yang Kai is not Wu Sheng Feng's opponent, the supremely arrogant cultivator would very quickly be completely subdued by Yang Yan.

## Inconsistency/Mistake

At least in the original novel, the author apparently forgot that Sha Hu already knew that Yang Kai was the Star Master of Shadowed Star during his encounter with Wu Sheng Feng, as Sha Hu again asks him whether he refined the Star Source of Shadowed Star in surprise.
