Background / History

Tang Hao emerged from years of absence to reunite with Tang San outside Shrek Academy. Although he intended to send his son to Spirit Hall City for advanced education under Saint Teacher Ratio's influence, his hidden objective was to learn Tang Xiao's whereabouts after his brother disappeared in Spirit City. He was prepared to force Ratio's cooperation if necessary. 128

Distrusting Ratio's teachings and the prospect of mortals ascending to godhood, Tang Hao infiltrated Pope Mountain during a public lecture. He attempted to destroy the temple during Qian Daoliu's ascent, sacrificing five of his nine soul rings in the attack. Qian Daoliu survived, ascended, and crippled Tang Hao's cultivation in retaliation. 158 160

Afterward, Tang Hao was reduced to an ordinary man. He remained proud and volatile despite his weakness, notably being kicked aside by Liu Erlong after angrily confronting Tang San. 219 By the time Tang San later visited him at the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao had lost an arm and a leg, become an alcoholic, and surrendered himself to despair. 270

Appearance

Tang Hao initially returns to Tang San dressed in ragged clothing, with an unkempt beard and the appearance of a long-neglected beggar, though his bearing remains unmistakable. 128

• Wields a massive Clear Sky Hammer. 158
• After losing his cultivation, becomes unshaven, overweight, and frequently reeks of alcohol. 218
• Following the Transformation Technique, develops a green, turtle-shell-like growth on his head and altered facial features. 301 306
• The shell shatters when he receives Ratio's Source of Power. 307

Personality

Tang Hao is fiercely protective of Tang San and initially seeks the best available education for him, even while distrusting Ratio and Spirit Hall. His concern for Tang Xiao likewise drives his infiltration of Pope Mountain. 128 153

His repeated losses harden into resentment. After Ah Yin awakens without recognizing him, Tang Hao refuses to accept responsibility for breaking her container prematurely and instead accuses Ratio of altering her memories. 225 226 His humiliation, crippled cultivation, and damaged standing within the Clear Sky Sect deepen his obsession with making those who disparage him or Tang San “regret” it. 219 270 306

After obtaining a Source of Power, Tang Hao becomes openly tyrannical, violent, and increasingly detached from his former self. He treats overwhelming strength as justification to kill opponents, punish former sectmates, abduct Ah Yin, and demand submission from others. 307 308 309 311

Abilities & Skills

Clear Sky Hammer

Tang Hao's primary weapon is the Clear Sky Hammer, which he can enlarge to immense size and wield with devastating force.

• Possessed nine soul rings before Qian Daoliu crippled his cultivation. 158
• Shattered five soul rings to empower his attempted strike against Pope Mountain. 158
• Uses the hammer to kill the White Tiger Saint King immediately after gaining Ratio's power. 307
• Overwhelms Bear Monarch, shattering his claws and eventually killing him. 308

Source of Power

Tang Hao passes a trial for a portion of Saint Teacher Ratio's power in the Inner World.

• His first Source of Power elevates him to roughly First Level God strength. 307
• Its power allows him to kill several Beast Gods and later suppress Poison Douluo's divine power completely. 307 309
• He gains a second Source of Power and reaches God King-level strength. 313
• Despite his increase in power, he is initially outmatched by the peak God King-level Golden Dragon King. 312

Physical Resilience

Even after losing his cultivation, Tang Hao retains enough physical strength to resist an escort alongside other former Clear Sky Sect Titled Douluo. 184

• Recovers from the severe injuries sustained during the first Source trial after Bi Ji heals him. 307
• Continues fighting after being sent through multiple trees by the Golden Dragon King. 312

Relationships

• Tang San — His son and closest ally. Tang Hao repeatedly acts to protect and empower him; after both gain Sources of Power, they pursue domination together. 128 309 312
• Tang Xiao — His elder brother and Clear Sky Sect Master. Tang Xiao tries to support Tang Hao but becomes increasingly fearful of his transformation and violence. 128 307 308
• Ah Yin — His wife from her former life and Tang San's mother. After her resurrection, Ah Yin does not recognize him and rejects his attempts to force their former family relationship upon her. 225 226 310 311
• Saint Teacher Ratio — Tang Hao's principal target of suspicion and hatred. He rejects Ratio's status as a saint and later seeks an opportunity to kill him. 128 307 313
• Qian Daoliu — Crippled Tang Hao's cultivation after Tang Hao attempted to prevent his ascension. 160
• Yu Xiaogang — Later accomplice. Tang Hao and Tang San help him acquire a Source of Power, after which the three join forces against their enemies. 313
• Golden Dragon King — Enemy who intervenes against Tang Hao's persecution of Shrek Academy and initially defeats him with overwhelming force. 311 312

Story Role / Major Arcs

Search for Tang Xiao

Tang Hao returns to Tang San and plans to move him to Spirit Hall City, where Ratio's teachings and the Scholars Alliance have made the city the center of Soul Master development. Privately, he seeks information about Tang Xiao's disappearance. 128

Sabotage of Qian Daoliu's Ascension

Unable to accept Ratio's influence or the possibility of godhood through cultivation, Tang Hao infiltrates Pope Mountain and attempts to destroy the temple during Qian Daoliu's breakthrough. The attempt fails, and Qian Daoliu cripples his cultivation. 153 158 160

Ah Yin's Premature Awakening

Tang Hao confronts Ratio's work on Ah Yin and breaks her recovery container himself. Ah Yin emerges alive but without memories of her former life, refuses to go with Tang Hao, and later rejects the identities of both Tang Hao's wife and Tang San's mother. 224 225 226

Inner World Transformation

Having recovered only to Soul Ancestor level, Tang Hao enters the Inner World with the Clear Sky Sect and absorbs a Transformation Technique alongside Tang San. He accepts his altered appearance and renewed potential in pursuit of greater strength. 301

Acquisition of Ratio's Power

Tang Hao reaches a Source of Power after bypassing the Snake Woman's blockade. His willingness to sacrifice everything grants him immense power, but his hostility toward Ratio and immediate slaughter of Beast Gods alarms Tang Xiao and the wider Clear Sky Sect. 307 308

Reign of Violence

Empowered by Ratio's Source, Tang Hao kills Poison Douluo over the Immortal Herbs Tang San wants, abducts Ah Yin, attacks Shrek Academy, and demands loyalty from its members. Spirit Hall and the Free Alliance designate him a god-level wanted criminal. 309 310 311

Alliance Against Ratio

After Tang San also gains Ratio's power and Yu Xiaogang becomes a God King, Tang Hao joins them in attacks on divine temples. He later gains a second Source of Power and supports Tang San's plan to exploit conflict among the gods and target Ratio. 312 313 315
