Background / History

Tang Hao was born into the Clear Sky Sect as the son of Tang Zhen and the brother of Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua. Before his rise, the sect already counted Tang Zhen and Tang Xiao among its Titled Douluo. 1

At forty-four, Tang Hao fought three Titled Douluo and dozens of Soul Douluo from Spirit Hall in a desert region. He broke through during the battle, killed or defeated the opposing Soul Masters, and left Pope Qian Xunji with fatal injuries. Spirit Hall retaliated against the Clear Sky Sect, forcing it to seal its gates; the sect publicly expelled Tang Hao and abandoned the Four Great Clans. 3

Tang Hao married Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, and fathered Tang San. Ah Yin's sacrifice became Tang Hao's hundred-thousand-year Ninth Soul Ring, which also retained a fragment of her soul. During his later battle with Qian Daoliu, Tang Hao detonated that ring despite knowing it would prevent Ah Yin's soul from awakening again. 91

After discovering that Ah Yin and the soul bone he had left for Tang San were gone, Tang Hao assaulted Spirit Hall and fought Golden Crocodile Douluo. He used the Haotian Nine Secret Skills and Ring Detonation, smashed the Papal Hall, then fled with severe injuries. 46 48

Tang Hao returned to Spirit City after recuperating and challenged Qian Daoliu. He detonated his Ninth and Eighth Soul Rings, injured Qian Daoliu, and escaped after his old wounds flared up. Spirit Hall subsequently issued a continent-wide warrant for him. 90 91 92

He later reunited with Tang San at Shrek Academy, took responsibility for training the Shrek Seven Devils, and pushed them toward the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. His principal objective was to secure the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Soul Bone offered as the championship prize. 152 170 195

• Long, chaotic, unkempt hair. 18
• Unwashed, disheveled beard and clothing. 90 152

Personality

Tang Hao is fiercely invested in Tang San's future. He gave Tang San his savings after the boy's Martial Soul awakening, concealed the existence of Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, and personally oversaw Tang San's later cultivation. 15 152 245

His protection is often controlling and pragmatic. He trained the Shrek Seven Devils to pursue Ah Yin's soul bone, distributed Soul Rings and Soul Bones to strengthen the team, and deliberately limited Tai Long's Fifth Soul Ring so that Tai Long would not surpass Tang San. 170 195 246 306

Tang Hao is also willing to employ lethal force, ambushes, and Ring Detonation against opponents he considers enemies. He attempted to kill Qian Renxue because of her connection to the Qian family, then attacked Yun Xiao Feng when he intervened. 207 208
