Personality
Tang San is intensely protective of Xiao Wu and repeatedly places her safety above his own. When Xiao Wu was injured or endangered, he responded with immediate fury, from trying to kill Dugu Yan after her attack to standing between Xiao Wu and Spirit Hall once her Soul Beast identity was exposed. 105 167
He is analytical in battle, rapidly forming plans around his opponents' formations, his allies' abilities, and the terrain. However, his determination to win can become ruthless: he employed poisoned Eight Spider Lance fragments against Skywater Academy and showed little concern after Shui Bing'er collapsed from the venom. 103 161 162
Tang San is ambitious about strengthening himself, restoring the Tang Sect's hidden-weapon legacy, avenging his family against Spirit Hall, and gaining enough power to protect Xiao Wu. He accepted Yu Xiaogang's warning not to rush his Clear Sky Hammer cultivation, then devoted himself to training instead. 120 130 170
