Background / History

Tang San is a reincarnated soul with memories and skills from a previous life. When confronted by Tang Hao over the knowledge and techniques that did not match his upbringing, Tang San admits his reincarnation and insists that Tang Hao remains his father. Tang Hao ultimately accepts him as his son. 163 164

His unusual abilities make Ah Yin doubt his identity. She initially concludes that he usurped her biological son's body, while Tang Hao accepts Tang San's explanation of reincarnation. 154 163 164

Tang San possesses Twin Martial Souls: Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer. He later tries to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline inherited from Ah Yin, drawing power from surrounding Blue Silver Grass; Ah Yin prevents the clan from pledging allegiance, causing the awakening to fail. 122 191 192

Appearance

Tang San’s appearance changes drastically after prolonged exposure to the Capital of Slaughter and the Rakshasa God’s power.

• Originally identifiable through his Blue Silver Grass, Clear Sky Hammer, and Eight Spider Lances. 122 147
• Later wears a mask and develops dark-red, then blood-red hair to conceal his identity in the Capital of Slaughter. 225 252
• His eyes later emit a scarlet glow, and he carries an overtly evil aura. 315
• When confronting the Martial Soul Empire’s palace, he appears with crimson soul power and eight black, blood-red scythes behind him. 370

Personality

Tang San is initially composed, resilient, and highly strategic. He studies opponents, adapts his techniques in battle, and relies on precise use of Hidden Weapons, poison, movement techniques, and his Martial Souls rather than direct force alone. 79 210 213

He is deeply prideful regarding Su Xing. Although Tang San recognizes that Su Xing is stronger during their early encounters, he remains convinced that the potential of his Twin Martial Souls will eventually allow him to surpass his rival. 179 211 355

After Tang Hao’s death and the revelation of Xiao Wu’s fate, Tang San becomes consumed by revenge. He embraces the evil aura of the Capital of Slaughter, grows stronger by absorbing spirit power from the dead, and eventually directs his hatred toward Su Xing, the Martial Soul Empire, the Clear Sky Sect, Xiao Wu, and the world at large. 218 225 315 371

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Tang San wields Blue Silver Grass as his primary Martial Soul and the Clear Sky Hammer as his second.

• His Blue Silver Grass possesses eight documented Spirit Rings: two yellow, two purple, and four black. 355
• He reveals the Clear Sky Hammer during the Spirit Master Tournament when his team faces defeat. 122
• At level 88, his Clear Sky Hammer has not yet received any Spirit Rings. 355
• After reaching Title Douluo, configuring Spirit Rings for the hammer becomes his next Rakshasa God trial. 357

Blue Silver Grass Techniques

Tang San develops his Blue Silver Grass into both a control tool and a projectile weapon system.

• Bind — Summons Blue Silver Grass to restrain opponents. 38
• Parasite — Can be triggered after Blue Silver Grass seeds are planted on a target. 79
• Blue Silver as Sword — Converts grass leaves into small sword-like projectiles; obtained from a five-thousand-year Sword Bamboo. 79
• Blue Silver Cage — Forms a defensive cage, though it can be shattered by sufficiently powerful attacks. 357
• Blue Silver Emperor awakening attempt — He can draw energy and recognition from Blue Silver Grass, but fails to complete the evolution because Ah Yin interferes. 191 192

Clear Sky Hammer Techniques

The Clear Sky Hammer supplies Tang San’s strongest direct combat option before his divine ascent.

• Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer — A hammer technique he masters before entering the Capital of Slaughter. 208
• Uses the hammer against Su Xing in the Slaughter Arena, but Su Xing’s Sword Control Technique and flying swords force him into a defensive position. 213
• Combines hammer techniques with his mobility, Spirit Bone abilities, and Slaughter God’s Domain against Clear Sky Sect elders. 357

Hidden Weapons and Tang Sect Techniques

Tang San is exceptionally skilled with concealed weapons and techniques retained from his previous life.

• Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track — A movement technique used to evade rapid lightning attacks and reposition in combat. 79
• Bat Wing Reincarnation — Launches dozens of Hidden Weapons that collide in midair before returning to him. 163
• Uses Hidden Weapons and poison to counter-kill Zhao Wuji after suffering severe injuries. 210
• Poisons the Clear Sky Sect’s meals with the colorless, odorless, delayed-effect Ten Fragrance Soft Muscle Powder before attacking its leadership. 356 357

Eight Spider Lances

Tang San possesses the Eight Spider Lances as an External Soul Bone.

• Can be used as bladed limbs for defense and close-range offense. 38 79
• Several lances are shattered while blocking Zhao Wuji’s axe strike, causing Tang San intense pain and serious injuries. 210
• Later absorbs spirit power from slain Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts through the lances. 315 316
• Repeated absorption strengthens the lances into a vivid purplish-red color and heightens their toxicity. 316
• Uses the lances to absorb enough residual power from Clear Sky Sect elders to rise from level 88 to 89. 357

Slaughter God’s Domain and Rakshasa God Power

Tang San’s time in the Capital of Slaughter changes both his power and temperament.

• The Capital’s evil aura enhances rather than harms him; he deliberately allows it to accumulate for greater strength. 225
• Uses the Slaughter God’s Domain alongside Spirit Bone skills, Blue Silver Grass, and Hidden Weapons in battle. 357
• Receives the Rakshasa God’s Nine Trials after completing the Hell Road. 297
• Completes the trials and ascends to godhood. 371

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Hidden Weapons — Includes thrown weapons, crossbows, and Tang Sect techniques. 163 357
• Ten Fragrance Soft Muscle Powder — Delayed poison used to incapacitate the Clear Sky Sect. 356
• Mask — Used with his blood-red hair to hide his identity in the Capital of Slaughter. 225 252
• Spirit Bones — Tang Hao leaves Tang San several Spirit Bones, including a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone. 218

Relationships

• Tang Hao — Father who trains and protects Tang San; accepts Tang San’s reincarnated identity as still being his son. Tang Hao later dies, intensifying Tang San’s hatred. 164 214 218
• Ah Yin — Mother and Blue Silver Emperor. She initially believes Tang San usurped her son’s body, prevents his Blue Silver Emperor awakening, and later asks Su Xing to kill him. 154 191 315
• Xiao Wu — Tang San seeks her out after their separation and remains emotionally attached to her. His fixation eventually deteriorates into resentment and hatred after she becomes Su Xing’s empress. 147 350 371
• Su Xing — Primary rival and the target of Tang San’s revenge. Su Xing defeats him in an early duel and overwhelmingly outclasses him in the Slaughter Arena, forcing Tang Hao to intervene. 42 212 214
• Yu Xiaogang — His teacher. Tang San continues to acknowledge Yu Xiaogang despite learning of his connection to Martial Soul Hall, though he later refuses to help him and focuses on revenge. 190 292
• Meng Yiran — Tang Hao’s disciple who repeatedly accompanies Tang San during cultivation. Tang San teaches her Hidden Weapon techniques, including Bat Wing Reincarnation. 163
• Zhao Wuji — Former teacher encountered in the Slaughter Arena. After Zhao Wuji attacks him, Tang San kills him with Hidden Weapons and poison. 209 210
• Clear Sky Sect — His father’s sect and eventual target of his Rakshasa God trial. Tang San infiltrates it, poisons its members, and massacres its leadership and disciples. 355 356 357

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rivalry with Su Xing

Tang San recognizes Su Xing as the former applicant rejected by Yu Xiaogang and becomes increasingly concerned by Su Xing’s Ring Detonation method and rapid growth. Their rivalry culminates in a duel where Su Xing defeats Tang San with Chidori after breaking through his Blue Silver Grass and Eight Spider Lances. 9 16 42

During later sparring, Tang San adapts his Blue Silver Grass into sword-like projectile weapons specifically to counter Su Xing’s lightning techniques and combat style. 79

Failed Blue Silver Emperor Awakening

Tang Hao brings Tang San to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. Tang San successfully gathers energy from nearby Blue Silver Grass, but Ah Yin stops the awakening by refusing to relinquish her status as the Blue Silver Emperor. 190 191 192

Capital of Slaughter

Tang San enters the Capital of Slaughter through an illegal route arranged by Tang Hao. There, he fights Zhao Wuji, survives a near-fatal axe strike, and kills his former teacher through Hidden Weapons and poison. 208 210

He subsequently faces Su Xing in the Slaughter Arena. Unable to use his own Spirit Ring skills while Su Xing can freely employ self-created techniques, Tang San is overwhelmed until Tang Hao intervenes and forces an end to the match. 211 213 214

Following Tang Hao’s death, Tang San absorbs the Capital’s evil energy and resolves to destroy Martial Soul Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, and Su Xing. He remains in hiding, cultivating through the arena’s aura and absorbing spirit power from slain opponents. 218 225 252

Rakshasa God Trials

Tang San completes one hundred consecutive victories in the Slaughter Arena, then clears the Hell Road and receives the Rakshasa God’s Nine Trials instead of the expected Slaughter God inheritance. 296 297

As the trials progress, he becomes an Evil Soul Master who hunts Spirit Beasts and Spirit Masters for their spirit power. His Eight Spider Lances become his primary means of absorbing that power. 315 316 330

Annihilation of the Clear Sky Sect

At level 88, Tang San returns to the Clear Sky Sect, presents himself as Tang Hao’s son, and gains the sect’s acceptance by displaying his Twin Martial Souls and cultivation. 355

He then poisons the sect, kills Tang Xiao and the elders, absorbs their residual spirit power, and massacres the remaining disciples. The resulting power gain and Rakshasa trial reward elevate him to level 90. 356 357

Final Assault and Death

After completing the Rakshasa God’s Nine Trials and becoming a god, Tang San attacks the Martial Soul Empire’s imperial palace. His hatred has expanded beyond Su Xing to include Xiao Wu and the entire world. He dies during the final conflict. 370 371
