Background

Tang Chen is the Clear Sky Sect's ancestral powerhouse and a Level 99 Peak Douluo. He returned from the City of Slaughter before the Continental Guardian Alliance formed, though he had not yet fully recovered his former peak condition. 96 105

He accepted Ling Yun's warning that the Holy Spirit Cult and Outer Gods threatened the continent, personally attending the alliance conference and helping bring the long-secluded Clear Sky Sect back into open action. 96

Appearance

Tang Chen is an elderly but mountain-like man with an ancient, weathered face. His cloudy eyes can still flash sharply, and his graying beard and hair whip in the wind when he enters battle. 105 110

• Carries the Clear Sky Hammer, whose presence alone projects a suppressive, weighty aura. 105
• Retains a massive, unshakable bearing despite age and incomplete recovery. 105
• His appearance in battle is marked by bristling hair and beard, along with the colossal manifestation of his hammer. 105 110

Personality

Tang Chen is resolute, direct, and willing to place himself in extreme danger to protect the continent. When the Permafrost Abyss ritual accelerated, he judged that waiting ten days for the main army was too dangerous and initiated a raid to delay the enemy's summoning. 110

He is also an experienced strategist. Rather than seeking victory through brute force alone, he uses frontal assaults, formations, retreats, and coordinated attacks to create opportunities for his allies. 105 106 125

Despite his pride and strength, Tang Chen recognizes Ling Yun's superior power and judgment. He consistently follows Ling Yun's strategic direction while assuming responsibility for the forces entrusted to him. 111 118 134 151
