Background / History

Tang San is Tang Hao's son and Tang Lan's younger brother. In Holy Soul Village, he practices the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer and forges hidden-weapon components, but begins to feel inferior after Tang Lan comprehends the same hammer technique at a glance 4 7.

Tang Lan teaches him an incomplete version of the Nine Yang Divine Skill. Tang San becomes dissatisfied when only part of the method is shared, while concealing the complete Mysterious Heaven Skill from Tang Hao 6. The Nine Yang inner force later contaminates Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill with a yang attribute, leaving him unable to remove it easily 7.

At Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy, Tang San agrees to support his tuition by working at a blacksmith's shop. Tang Lan enrolls him in the work-study program and urges him to keep his Innate Full Soul Power secret 10.

Tang Lan later founds the Tang Sect and appoints Tang San its First Disciple. Tang San subsequently declines an offer to take over the sect, instead requesting the position of Vice Sect Leader and permission to establish the Hidden Weapon Hall 35 44.

Personality

Tang San is determined to improve himself and is willing to work, fight, research, and take major risks for greater power. His enthusiasm for hidden weapons and explosives leads him to focus on developing new Tang Sect armaments, partly because he wants to be known for himself rather than merely as Tang Lan's younger brother 44 135.

He is repeatedly portrayed as jealous of Tang Lan's opportunities and resources. He covets soul bones, immortal herbs, Domains, and powerful Soul Spirits, and his impatience or incompatible choices frequently endanger him 61 117 183 185 275 338. Despite friction between them, he relies heavily on Tang Lan's protection and guidance 54 185 241.

Abilities & Skills

Blue Silver Grass Spirit

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass manifests with five soul rings—white, yellow, black, red, and black—after his advancement to Soul King 243.

• His Fifth Soul Skill launches extremely fast lightning through Blue Silver Grass; it combines lightning with frost-induced slowing and soul-burning effects from his fourth soul skills 243.
• Frost Touch slows targets through frost 243.
• Soul Lash inflicts a burning sensation on the soul 243.
• His Seventh Soul Ring produces a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Avatar in Tang San's image, though its displayed effect is considered far weaker than the original 100,000-year-ring version 356.
• Thorny Lightning fires Blue Silver Grass like lightning, but a Level 87 Soul Douluo cuts through it with ease 381.

Clear Sky Hammer

Tang San wields a hammer martial soul and trains in the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique 4 7.

• A hammer strike later reaches power comparable to Level 95–96, according to Tang Hao 117.
• He asks Tang Lan to teach him additional techniques after witnessing Tang Lan's enhanced combat power 117.

Hidden-Weapon Crafting

Tang San is a skilled blacksmith and hidden-weapon researcher.

Mental Perception

• God-bestowed Soul Ring — Received from Posey for later use 200.

• Fire-attributed Soul Bones — Tang San absorbs three despite their incompatibility with his attributes 338.

Relationships

• Tang Lan — Older brother, sect leader, mentor, and frequent protector. Tang San relies on him for cultivation methods, resources, rescue, and opportunities, though their relationship is strained by Tang San's envy and resentment 44 54 185 241.
• Tang Hao — Father. Tang San is awed by Tang Hao's strength, but Tang Hao regularly sides with and protects Tang Lan during their disputes 115 117.
• Xiao Wu — Tang San is determined to rescue her after the Titan Giant Ape captures her; she later openly condemns his hostility toward Tang Lan 54 455.
