Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Innate Full Soul Power; Twin Martial Souls	118	Established as his innate foundation, rather than a later breakthrough.
First Spirit Ring	115 127	Absorbed a Mandala Snake under Yu Xiaogang’s guidance. Gained Entanglement and paralyzing poison, but the beast-type ring suppressed his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
Second Spirit Ring	115 127	Absorbed a Ghost Vine. Gained Parasitism, stronger barbs, and toughness; its plant attributes partly compensated for the first ring’s mismatch.
Level 29 — Soul Grandmaster	106	Entered Shrek’s practical assessment as a Control System Battle Spirit Master with two yellow rings.
Third Spirit Ring — Spirit Elder	127	Absorbed a 1,700-year Life Spirit Vine, gaining Source of Life and substantially strengthening his Martial Soul’s life force.
Peak Level 34 → Level 36	162	Absorbed a 20,000-year Azure Vine Torso Bone won in a team duel. Restored deficient life force and sensed the beginnings of Martial Soul evolution.
Early Level 42 — Soul Ancestor; Blue Silver King	169 180	Absorbed a 7,500-year Fourth Spirit Ring from a Vajra Vine. Blue Silver Grass completed its first evolution into Blue Silver King; gained Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers.
Level 44 — Soul Ancestor	176 183	Confirmed during the academy tournament. His evolved vines could restrain same-level opponents much more effectively.
Level 49 — Soul Ancestor	240	Reached this level while traveling with Xiao Wu and studying forging in Geng Xin City.
Peak Level 51 — Spirit King	264 270	Absorbed a 20,000-year Azure Vine Fifth Spirit Ring, gaining Blue Silver Cage. His physical fitness and Purple Demon Eye-supported Spiritual Power enabled the unusually old ring absorption.
Level 65 — Soul Emperor	343	Confirmed during his time on Sea God Island.
Level 76; Blue Silver Emperor	363	Advanced through several years of trials. His plant Martial Soul is now explicitly listed as Blue Silver Emperor; the provided account does not show the awakening itself.

Background / History

Tang San is a reincarnated person with an adult soul. In his previous life, he was an assassin who experienced little family affection or friendship. In his new life, he initially understood himself only as the son of a blacksmith from a remote village, unaware of his father’s reputation or the identity of his second Martial Soul 109 110 162.

He studied at Nuoding Academy with Xiao Wu and spent six years as Yu Xiaogang’s disciple. Yu Xiaogang’s early recognition of his Twin Martial Souls earned Tang San’s deep trust, but his ring-selection advice failed to develop Tang San’s inherited Blue Silver Emperor bloodline properly 111 112 115.

Oscar later identified the Clear Sky Hammer and explained the hidden potential of Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass. Tang Hao eventually confirmed that Tang San’s mother, Ah Yin, had been a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor who underwent Soul Beast Transformation, accounting for both his maternal bloodline and his plant Martial Soul 110 121 276.

Personality

Tang San is usually calm and observant, with an adult’s composure despite his age. He studies opponents carefully, conserves resources, and prefers to keep important abilities concealed until they provide a decisive advantage. His tactical decisions include adjusting Shrek’s lineups and anticipating an opponent’s expectations 109 175 196.

His protectiveness toward Xiao Wu can appear overwhelming, but anger does not always erase his judgment. During Shrek’s entrance assessment, he was genuinely furious when she was injured, yet deliberately exaggerated his apparent loss of reason as part of his attack 107. He later accepts her Soul Beast identity because his love for her has already transcended species 268.

Loyalty initially makes him reluctant to question Yu Xiaogang. After investigating Oscar’s claims, however, he chooses evidence over that longstanding attachment and becomes increasingly independent 111 115 119 120. Shrek’s friendships also give him a sense of home that he had lacked in both lives 162.

He remains committed to restoring the Tang Sect rather than simply joining Oscar’s ambitions. Gratitude does not prevent him from choosing his own path, though he insists on honoring his agreement to supply Hidden Weapons to the Sword Sect 269 309.

Abilities & Skills

Blue Silver Grass / Blue Silver King / Blue Silver Emperor

His plant Martial Soul carries the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. Under Oscar’s guidance, he shifts from relying on added poison toward cultivating its native life force, toughness, and regenerative potential 121 127.

• Restraint: Binds opponents with vines; after evolving into Blue Silver King, even same-level Assault System Spirit Masters may struggle to escape 176.
• Team control: Uses vines to reposition allies, change their opponents, and withdraw them from danger without disrupting their attacks 184 186.
• Persistent binding: Regenerates torn vines with Source of Life, repeatedly restraining enemies who initially break free 164 264.
• Weakness: Blue Silver King remains vulnerable to fire and other unfavorable attribute matchups 176 180.
• Poison limitation: His early rings retain a paralyzing effect, but the toxin is not especially potent and becomes less useful against stronger cultivators 164.

Spirit Ability	Ring Source	Applications and Limits
First — Entanglement	Mandala Snake; yellow ring	Binds enemies. Tang San later recognizes that he can perform similar restraint through ordinary vine manipulation and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon 106 115 127.
Second — Parasitism	Ghost Vine; yellow ring	A versatile control ability. The ring also strengthens the vines’ piercing barbs 106 127 164.
Third — Source of Life	1,700-year Life Spirit Vine	Instantly regenerates his vines and absorbs or grants the life force of plants below his level. Supports personal recovery and replenishes Soul Power from surrounding Blue Silver Grass 127 159 264.
Fourth — Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers	7,500-year Vajra Vine	Converts leaves into diamond-hard Blue Silver Blades. Works as a ranged Hidden Weapon attack or turns vines already binding an enemy into cutting blades 169 180 264.
Fifth — Blue Silver Cage	20,000-year Azure Vine	Group restraint supported by Blue Silver King’s toughness and life force. At Level 51, Tang San can fully restrain a Level 55 Assault System Spirit King and briefly contend with a Soul Emperor 264.

Clear Sky Hammer

His second Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Sect’s direct-line Weapon Spirit. Its enormous weight provides formidable close-combat power even before spirit rings are attached 110 121 122.

• Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer: Builds successive hammer strikes through demanding physical and willpower training. Tang San can perform twenty-four consecutive strikes early in Oscar’s instruction and later reaches forty-three 122 167.
• Combined footwork: Pairs the hammer technique with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to reduce pressure from a Raging Bear Soul Emperor 251.
• Mastery: His progress under Oscar allows Tang Hao to bring forward his advanced hammer training 275.
• Clear Sky Nine Ultimates: Learns the Clear Sky Sect’s profound inheritable Self-Created Soul Skill from Tang Hao; later demonstrates an understanding that impresses his father 275 309.

Tang Sect Techniques

Tang San retains the Tang Sect’s secret techniques from his previous life and is cautious about sharing them outside the sect 110 144.

• Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track: Unusual movement and evasive footwork, usable alongside his hammer attacks 107 251.
• Mysterious Jade Hand: A hand technique used in combat; his hands turn white-jade-colored while deploying Blue Silver Blades 107 180.
• Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon: Supports precise vine manipulation and the rapid repositioning of several teammates at once 127 184.
• Purple Demon Eye: Helps him track multiple targets and inspect enemy techniques. Its Spiritual Power development also assists his absorption of a 20,000-year Fifth Spirit Ring 180 183 264.
• Mysterious Heaven Skill: Enhances his flying-dagger attacks in combination with Soul Power and specialized throwing methods 183.

Hidden Weapons and Forging

Tang San knows the Hidden Weapon Hundred Solutions and numerous specialized throwing techniques. His Fourth Spirit Ability lets him apply this expertise through his Martial Soul rather than relying exclusively on physical weapons 121 180.

• Blue Silver Blade range: Reaches an effective range of approximately fifty meters during the academy tournament, compared with the roughly thirty-meter limit of many ordinary Hidden Weapons 180.
• Split targeting: Pressures airborne opponents while simultaneously attacking enemy support members 180.
• Attrition: Forces opponents to spend Soul Power dodging, blocking, or maintaining defensive abilities 183.
• Tournament restriction: Cannot coat blades with external deadly poison because the competition prohibits items other than Martial Souls and Spirit Bones 180.
• Forging: Becomes a Blacksmith Master in Geng Xin City and is accepted as Lou Gao’s final disciple 240.

Battle Tactics

Oscar delegates Shrek’s match arrangements to Tang San as one of the team’s Control System Spirit Masters 171.

• Holds Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Ning Rongrong in reserve for the opening match 171.
• Adds Dai Mubai against Elephant Armored Academy to overcome its defensive formation 175.
• Sustains ranged suppression with Jiang Zhu’s Soul Restoration Array supporting his Soul Power consumption 180 183.
• Anticipates Huo Wu’s prediction of Shrek’s Promotion Match lineup and arranges the team accordingly 196.
• Proposes a restricted-combat wager against Sea Dragon Douluo, staking the group’s continued participation in the trials 363.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• 20,000-year Azure Vine Torso Bone — Awarded by Oscar after Tang San and Ma Hongjun win a team duel. Raises Tang San from peak Level 34 to Level 36 and restores substantial life force 159 162.
  • Azure Barrier: Produces thick Azure Vines that form a large barrier. Tang San combines it with Source of Life during his spar with Oscar 270.
• Bone-Piercing Nails — Heavy small Hidden Weapons used during Shrek’s entrance assessment. Ten attacks powered by his Internal Force fail to penetrate Oscar’s Flying Sword defense 108.
• Godly Zhuge Crossbow — Used against Lor Diarra in the Star Dou Great Forest; the Soul Douluo blocks its attack with his golden wings 264.

Relationships

• Xiao Wu — Childhood schoolmate and romantic partner. They protect one another during Spirit Hall’s pursuit, and Tang San reaffirms his love after learning her Soul Beast identity 112 158 264 268.
• Oscar — Senior student, cultivation mentor, protector, and Hidden Weapon trade partner. Tang San respects his guidance, but Oscar privately intends both to nurture him and to limit his unchecked potential 121 203 269 309.
• Tang Hao — Father and Clear Sky Douluo. Their reunion brings revelations about Tang San’s mother and advanced instruction in Clear Sky Hammer techniques; Tang Hao also supports establishing the Tang Sect 243 275 276 309.
• Ah Yin — Mother and source of his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. Tang San vows to avenge her after hearing Tang Hao’s account of her death 276.
• Yu Xiaogang — Former teacher of six years. Their bond ends after Tang San questions his cultivation advice; Yu Xiaogang’s subsequent involvement in attacks on him destroys his remaining affection 115 120 210 264.
• Lou Gao — Forging master who accepts Tang San as his final disciple and helps him and Xiao Wu escape through a secret passage 240 251.
• Ma Hongjun — Shrek teammate and partner in the duel that earns them Spirit Bones 158 159.
• Ning Rongrong — Shrek teammate who defeats him in a training duel using Oscar’s Fourth Spirit Ability. He later accompanies her on Sea God Island 167 363.
• Jiang Zhu — Teammate whose Soul Restoration Array sustains his repeated Blue Silver Blade attacks 180 183.
• Da Ming and Er Ming — Xiao Wu’s Soul Beast companions. Initially unwilling to acknowledge him as her partner, they later recognize his potential while watching him spar with Oscar 268 269 270.
