**Zhou Shuiniu** was the father of Zhou Weiqing and a Commander-in-Chief of Heavenly Bow Empire’s armies, and furthermore he was the strongest person in the whole empire, and could be called its pillar. The Emperor Di Fengling and Zhou Shuiniu called each other brothers in private, this was also the reason why Zhou Weiqing and Di Difuya were promised to each other in marriage since birth. Shuiniu also had Fengling become Weiqing's godfather. After Zhou Weiqing's champion team at his first Heavenly Jewel Tournament completed, Zhou Shuinui used his Darkness Attribute's self sacrificial seal to lock the Heavenly Bow City's space-time for ten years, when it was directly blitzkrieged by the Kalise Empire (supported by the Heavenly King HJM of the Bai Da Empire).

## Appearance

Sturdy man who was like an iron pagoda, looking around 50 years of age, with bronzed skin that seemed the shine with a healthy glow, with a squarish face, a set of tiger-like eyes, straight nose and squarish mouth. Although he was seated, anyone could easily see his tall, large frame. The muscles that seemed hard as rock were accentuated by his uniform, and his eyes were full of energy, the black irises seemed to glow from within.

Released Darkness Consolidated Fate Denying Seal: Broad shoulders, a proud and straightened back, pitch-black armor, and that unwavering spirit. His collapsed ashes body was reshaped by his son.

## Personality

While holding a top status, Shuiniu was a down-to-earth person, worried for his son Weiqing when it was discovered he could not cultivate due to physical problems and later become ecstatic when he discovered his son's awakening. He was also strict to his only son, forcing the boy to learn independence and hard work at a young age to prevent the status of "Admiral Zhou" from becoming a negative social poison that lead his son to be a socially weak adult, unable to survive along. He even struggled then relented to have his son be taught by Mu En.

He was devoted to his empire and willingly used the Darkness Desperate Seal stored skill to stop the time of the destroyed Heavenly Bow Empire. This was to buy a decade for his son Weiqing to save it.

## Background

He was born from a common family, and he grew up taking care of water buffaloes for a living, which was the reason for his name. Of course, no one dared to laugh at his name, anyone who did so was already dead.

Admiral Zhou had spent many years trying out various methods, putting much time and energy into attempting to change that fact, but even with his Middle-Level Zong Stage cultivation level, he had not been able to do anything about his son’s meridians. By now when his son was 14, he had already lost hope about that.

Since his son was 8 years old, Shuiniu had been unable to advance past Heavenly Energy Level 32 (8 Jewel: Middle-Level Zong Stage) for the past five years.

His top stored skill was his 8th Jewel Skill obtained from the Zong Stage Black Big Octopus in Flying Hill City's Skill Storing Palace.

## Plotline

### His Son Awakens the Jewels

Zhou Shuiniu learns about what Di Difuya violently did to his 13 year old son after Di Fengling arrived in person.

### Overlord Lightning Explosive Arrow

It has been a few months since the 14 year old Zhou Weiqing saw his father, ever since the Di Difuya incident. Zhou Shuiniu had his son join the Heavenly Bow Unit with Shangguan Bing'er to improve himself until he was 16 years old. Then he would fulfill his agreement and officially become the disciple of Grandmaster Level Consolidated Equipment Master Huyan Aobo from Flying Hill City, Fei Li Empire.

## Trivia

* Although his son Zhou Weiqing was unable to cultivate heavenly energy before age 13, Shuiniu had been strictly trained Weiqing since young at 7, therefore, Weiqing's body was in a fit condition, definitely stronger and more agile than any commoner. He also strictly made Weiqing self-reliant since he was age 6; having no more servants and only learned household chores from his mother.
* He usually beats his son with his feet, by kicking. If he wants to harm Weiqing's face, he palm slaps. Weiqing naturally would not resist. After all, father hitting son was a universally accepted principle unless the cause was a misunderstanding. Shuiniu used violence even if it pained his heart, because he wanted his son to become accustom to being beaten by society.
* He never forgot to give a present to his son on his birthday.
* During his military tenure, he had the Heavenly Bow Empire soldiers obey the rule to dine together without caste.
* His Strength Attribute Heavenly Jewel Consolidated Equipment is unknown.
* Since Zhou Weiqing was of the Admiral’s bloodline, he naturally inherited the same attribute, Darkness.
