‘Mad Sabre’ (狂刀; *Kuáng Dāo*) refers to his special skill, «*Seventy Two Paths of the Mad Sabre*».

‘Three Waves’ (三浪; *Sān Làng*) served as a reminder for him to not seek death more than three times in the same aspect. However, it was completely useless.

### Mad Sabre Four Waves

“*From now on, please call me Four Waves, thank you.*„

While waiting for the Third Sage in A Thousand Years, the members of the Nine Provinces (1) Group discussed the relationship between having ‘number three’ in a cultivator’s Dao Name or title and death seeking tendencies.

Another member of the Death Seeker Army, *Calculator of Black Trigram* Copper Trigram, who was ranked third in gold, silver, copper, iron was cited as an example.

Seven also cited the Heavenly River’s Su Clan Three, who loves to seek death non-stop. In order to correct his death seeking problem, Three changed his own Dao Name to Four, thus solving the problem once and for all.

Three Waves then mused to himself that if he had a daughter, and the daughter wants to have a different Dao Name every day, he won’t have any problem, as he can just change the numbers from One Waves to 365 Waves, 666 Waves or even A Trillion Waves.

Lang Ba (浪霸; *Làng Bà*, lit. ‘*Wave Tyrant*’) was the stage name Three Waves used in his films.

### Blue Wave

Three Waves took the name and appearance of a Seventh Stage Spirit Venerable, Blue Wave when he was infiltrating the Beast Realm’s Wide Courtyard Society. However, Three Waves felt that the name of Blue Wave is mocking him.

## Alignment

As a Chaotic Good, Mad Sabre Three Waves acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he’s kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.

## Cultivation

Three Waves was a powerful Fifth Stage Spirit Sovereign, second only to Seven.

Three Waves single-handedly defeated a Celestial task force when many Fifth Stage practitioners fall to them.

## Nine Provinces (1) Group

Together with North River, Mad Sabre keeps the chat group alive. Whenever both of them went adventuring together, the chat group become dead.

### Death Seeker Army

“*Don’t seeks death and you will not die*„

Everything was good about Three Waves, he’s friendly, loyal, and loves helping others, so his relationship with others was pretty good. The only problem is he liked to speak pervertedly, in a way that invites death. It turns out that this fella’s luck was so low that it gives people goose bumps, he always couldn’t help but invite death from recklessness, and the ones he offended were always big time seniors. Since those big time seniors were usually bored without any source of entertainment, they were naturally very happy to torture Mad Sabre Three Waves who personified entertainment delivered to their front doors.

However, whenever he seeks death, he’ll ensure he still have some leeway. For example, when he buried Seven, Medicine Master and Purple Mist, he purposely buried Medicine Master and Purple Mist in the same tomb, and wrote that ‘*Medicine Master and Purple Mist **husband and wife** was buried together*’ on the tombstone. In this regard, Purple Mist became his safety insurance.

### Magecrafts Creator

Despite his death seeking tendencies, Three Waves has an inventive and creative side to him. He is known to create a lot of small but practical magecrafts. However, Mad Sabre tends to be wordy in his explanation of the magecrafts.
