Background / History

Transmigration and Childhood

Tang San was a webnovel reader in his previous life who died after being struck by a speeding dump truck. He transmigrated into the original Tang San, who shared his full name, and later explains that he inherited most of the original’s memories, including cultivation, hidden-weapon, and poison-treatment knowledge 1 18.

His childhood in Holy Soul Village was marked by poverty and Tang Hao’s drinking. He had to cook for himself and his father from the age of three or four. After entering Nuoding City, he supported himself through odd jobs and saved money to leave 1 11.

Rather than repeat the original Tang San’s life, he planned to avoid Yu Xiaogang’s tutelage, Shrek Academy, and the conflicts surrounding Xiao Wu. He intended to hide somewhere safe, develop his inherited talent, and pursue opportunities on his own terms 1.

Qian Renxue’s Recruitment

Tang San was leaving Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy after declaring that he had dropped out when Qian Renxue and Light Feather Douluo intercepted him. Recognizing both visitors, he initially feared that Spirit Hall had discovered his identity and come to attack him 1 2.

Qian Renxue instead invited him to join Spirit Hall. Although he bore the organization no personal grudge, he worried that its hostility toward Tang Hao could place his fate beyond his control. She allowed him time to decide and enrolled at Nuoding to remain close to him 2 3 4.

When Tang Hao failed to appear, Tang San concluded that his father had abandoned him. He became willing to accept Spirit Hall’s offer, though Qian Renxue repeatedly insisted that she wanted a voluntary decision. He also rejected Yu Xiaogang’s attempts to become his master 4.

Qian Renxue accompanied him to obtain his first Soul Ring and learned how harsh his childhood had been. Her comfort afterward gave him a sense of safety and rest that he had not experienced since transmigrating 10 11.

Joining Spirit Hall

Over a restaurant meal, Tang San formally agreed to join Spirit Hall. Qian Renxue promised him superior cultivation resources and guidance, while he welcomed the opportunity to escape his original companions’ path 13.

At the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu questioned him about Tang Hao’s feud with Spirit Hall. Tang San explicitly separated his own allegiance from his father’s grievances. When Qian Daoliu proposed limited initial support, Qian Renxue objected and had Tang San display his thousand-year first ring 14.

Qian Daoliu subsequently promised him the best resources and arranged for Light Feather Douluo to escort him to Spirit Hall Academy. Qian Renxue was required to focus on her own cultivation rather than accompany him as a student 15.

Eight Years of Cultivation

By fourteen, Tang San had reached level 42 with four unusually advanced Soul Rings. He attributed this progress to Spirit Hall’s resources and cultivation environment. Rather than follow the academy’s ordinary training schedule, he relied on the Mysterious Heaven Skill and trained with Qian Renxue 16 22.

Despite his progress, he lost a spar against Qian Renxue after three hundred exchanges, even with her suppressing her Soul Power to his level. He then decided that he was ready to obtain the Immortal Herbs he had deliberately postponed seeking until he could do so safely 16.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Tang San requested Yue Guan and Gui Mei as escorts for the expedition, seeing an opportunity both to acquire herbs and to begin building his own influence within Spirit Hall. At the well, Dugu Bo targeted him as the weakest member of the group and poisoned him 17 18.

Using his inherited knowledge, Tang San consumed two opposing Immortal Herbs, neutralized Dugu Bo’s poison, and entered the junction of the well’s cold and hot springs. He emerged unharmed at rank 46, having strengthened his body through the treatment 18 19.

He later gave Qian Renxue the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss and persuaded her to consume it rather than preserve it as a keepsake. The herb raised her cultivation by four levels and evolved her Martial Soul 21.

Tournament Team and Fifth Soul Ring

Qian Renxue arranged Tang San’s entry into Spirit Hall Academy’s team for the National Elite Soul Master Tournament. He was interested in the championship rewards, particularly a skull Soul Bone, and readily accepted a likely substitute position 22 24.

Yan challenged his qualifications and mocked his reliance on Qian Renxue. Tang San defeated him using Vitality Burst and controlled Blue Silver Grass; Yan had insisted on fighting without Soul Skills and admitted defeat after Hu Liena intervened 22 23.

After further strengthening himself with whale glue and two more Immortal Herbs, Tang San entered the Star Dou Great Forest to seek his fifth ring. There he reunited with Xiao Wu, persuaded Yue Guan and Gui Mei not to pursue her, and attempted to draw both elders toward his own faction 25 26 28.

Repeated encounters with Shrek led to conflict. He punched Yu Xiaogang into a tree but deliberately spared him, partly to avoid provoking Bibi Dong. With the elders’ help, he then killed a roughly 50,000-year Light Giant Dragon, reached level 54, and obtained an External Soul Bone 29 31 32.

During a later outing with Qian Renxue in Precious Sword City, Shrek confronted him again. When Dai Mubai attacked, Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to knock aside the projectiles from White Tiger Meteor Shower 33.

Appearance

• Hair: Black 1.
• Childhood build: Thin and frail from years of poor nutrition 11.
• Clothing: Wears a blue-and-black uniform during his fifth-ring expedition 26.
• External Soul Bone: Two golden-scaled wings, described as about two meters long, emerge from his back and radiate an aura of light 32.

Personality

Tang San is pragmatic, irreverent, and focused on survival. His knowledge of the original storyline makes him unwilling to inherit its obligations automatically: he rejects Yu Xiaogang, avoids attachment to Tang Hao, and actively seeks a safer route through Spirit Hall 1 4 14.

He openly appreciates Qian Renxue’s beauty, devotion, wealth, and political backing. However, her support also meets a genuine emotional need: after years of working to survive, he finds unusual comfort in her protection and affection 8 11 12 13.

His willingness to take risks is usually backed by preparation. Before attempting a thousand-year first ring, he assesses his strengthened physique, the low absorption pressure of Blue Silver Grass, and its shared origin with his Martial Soul. He likewise delays seeking Immortal Herbs until he can secure powerful escorts 10 16 17.

Although he prefers an easy life, he refuses to tolerate humiliation. He accepts Yan’s challenge and retaliates against Yu Xiaogang, while still weighing the political consequences of killing the latter. He also recognizes that relying indefinitely on Qian Renxue is insufficient and begins cultivating connections of his own 17 22 23 28 29.

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Tang San’s documented development centers on Blue Silver Grass; his intended Clear Sky Hammer build emphasizes brute force 6.

• Blue Silver Grass: Follows a life-force route that prioritizes vitality, toughness, recovery, and strong basic attributes 10 19.
• Blue Silver Emperor bloodline: Exists within him before full awakening and enables a spiritual connection with Blue Silver Grass 10.
• Clear Sky Hammer: Intended to complement his durable grass build with direct offensive power; no acquired hammer rings are documented in the provided chapters 6.
• Early evolution: The Nine-Grade Dragon Ganoderma stimulates the Emperor bloodline without completing the full Blue Silver Emperor awakening 25.

Soul Skills

Blue Silver Grass Control

Tang San manipulates his grass directly rather than spending a Soul Ring solely to obtain an entanglement technique 23.

• Binds Yan’s limbs and stops his punch just short of contact 23.
• Uses two Blue Silver Grass-derived rings to strengthen his control over the Martial Soul 23.
• Develops grass tough enough to resist cutting with a dagger and rapidly close the resulting wound 25.
• Whips aside Dai Mubai’s White Tiger Meteor Shower projectiles 33.

Mysterious Heaven Skill and Inherited Knowledge

Tang San retains most of the original Tang San’s memories, including the Mysterious Heaven Skill, hidden weapons, and poison-treatment methods 18.

• Circulates the Mysterious Heaven Skill while digesting whale rubber; he suspects it amplifies the tonic’s effect 9.
• Uses the technique to endure extreme cold while harvesting the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass 18.
• Identifies and administers Immortal Herbs for both himself and Qian Renxue 18 19 21 25.
• Knows that whale rubber can strengthen the body and raise the age limit of absorbable Soul Rings 9.

Physique and Recovery

His body is strengthened through whale rubber, life-type Soul Rings, Immortal Herbs, and tempering in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well 9 19 25 31.

• The opposing ice-and-fire herbs provide immunity to fire and ice 19.
• Ten-thousand-year whale glue raises his physical strength to a level comparable to a Soul Emperor 25.
• His physique and spiritual power allow him to absorb a roughly 50,000-year fifth ring without visible distress 31.
• Releasing the Dragon Wings External Soul Bone increases injury-recovery speed by 100% 32.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Soul Tools — Uses storage tools to carry clothing and supplies; Qian Renxue returns a bracelet-shaped tool and later delivers materials in a ring-shaped one 19 22 25.
• Dagger — Used to harvest the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and test his evolved grass’s durability 18 25.
• Whale rubber / whale glue — Consumes progressively stronger varieties to improve his physique and support above-limit Soul Ring absorption 9 25.
• Immortal Herbs — Consumes four: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, its opposing fire-aligned companion, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and the Nine-Grade Dragon Ganoderma 18 19 25 28.
• Dragon Wings External Soul Bone — A roughly 50,000-year bone that manifests golden-scaled wings and enhances recovery 32.

Relationships

• Qian Renxue — Romantic interest, patron, and training partner. Her rebirth leads her to seek him before their original enmity develops. She secures his resources, helps obtain his first ring, and repeatedly protects him; he returns her affection and gives her an Immortal Herb 1 10 11 15 16 21.
• Tang Hao — Father of his current body, but not someone to whom he feels filial attachment. Tang San resents his drinking, childhood neglect, and apparent abandonment, and refuses to inherit his feud with Spirit Hall 1 4 11 14.
• Xiao Wu — Former Nuoding companion who remains strongly attached to him. He initially intends to avoid the dangers associated with her, yet later intervenes to keep Yue Guan and Gui Mei from pursuing her 1 12 26 28.
• Qian Daoliu — Senior authority who questions his loyalty and initially limits his proposed resources. Tang San’s first ring and Qian Renxue’s advocacy help secure better treatment 14 15.
• Light Feather Douluo — Accompanies Qian Renxue during recruitment and later personally escorts Tang San into Spirit Hall Academy 2 15.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei — Escorts and guardians during his herb and fifth-ring expeditions. Tang San attempts to recruit them by invoking his ties to Qian Renxue and offering future Soul Bones; their complete allegiance is not yet established 17 28 31.
• Yu Xiaogang — Rejected prospective teacher and recurring antagonist. His resentment escalates into repeated confrontations, culminating in Tang San striking him while deliberately stopping short of killing him 4 6 29.
• Yan — Tournament teammate who challenges his qualifications. Tang San defeats him in a spar, and Yan acknowledges the loss 22 23.
• Hu Liena — Tournament teammate whose curiosity grows after witnessing his rings and strength. She intervenes to end his spar with Yan 23 24.
• Xie Yue — Teammate who explains that the established starting lineup’s coordination makes Tang San a likely substitute, an arrangement Tang San accepts 24.
• Dugu Bo — Attacks and poisons him at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; Tang San neutralizes the poison through his herb treatment 17 18 19.
