Background

Tang San entered Nuoding Academy with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul certificate and Innate Full Soul Power. Yu Xiaogang recognized his unusual potential and concluded that he possessed Twin Martial Souls. Tang Hao intervened when Tang San tried to silence Yu Xiaogang, coercing him into accepting Xiaogang as his teacher. 16

During a hunt in Soul Hunting Forest, Tang San absorbed a Mandala Snake Spirit Ring and broke through the first bottleneck of the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Seeing Yu Xiaogang weakened by venom afterward, he considered murdering his teacher to protect the secrets of his previous life and techniques. Tang Hao, concealed as a black-robed figure, stopped the attempt; Tang San subsequently treated Xiaogang's venom and resolved to endure the arrangement until he was strong enough to retaliate. 72

Mu Zhe later targeted Tang San during a spar with Xiao Wu, using a shadow to steal portions of Tang San's memories and leave him defenseless against Xiao Wu's kick. Tang Hao secretly examined and healed Tang San, finding his body otherwise normal and his Soul Power at level 20. 22 43

Appearance

Tang San is described as an ordinary-looking young man. When using the Purple Demon Eyes, a purple gleam becomes visible in his pupils. 116

• Carries the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night at his waist. 77
• Often maintains a calm exterior even while harboring resentment or killing intent. 70 72
• Uses a small pitch-black hammer in combat, consistent with his undisclosed second Martial Soul. 74

Personality

Tang San is highly secretive and intensely protective of the techniques and memories he retained from his past life. He regards those who learn too much about him as threats, going so far as to consider killing Yu Xiaogang and later resolving to take revenge on both Xiaogang and the black-robed Tang Hao. 72

He is also proud of his knowledge, combat techniques, and cultivation method. Ning Rongrong surpassing his Soul Power after evolving her Martial Soul provokes jealousy, while Mu Zhe's repeated interference becomes a central source of resentment. 2 104

Despite his ruthlessness, Tang San is determined and strategically minded in battle. He pursues Xiao Wu after her capture by the Titan Giant Ape despite the overwhelming gap in strength, and repeatedly seeks opportunities to turn disadvantageous fights around. 64 70

Story Role / Major Arcs

Nuoding Academy

Tang San's potential as a Twin Martial Soul possessor brings him under Yu Xiaogang's attention and Tang Hao's covert control. He gains his first Spirit Ring from a Mandala Snake, while his own fear of exposure drives him to contemplate killing his teacher. 16 72

Conflict with Mu Zhe

Mu Zhe treats Tang San as a dangerous future rival and repeatedly disrupts his development. He engineers Tang San's humiliation by controlling Ye Zhi Qiu, later steals Tang San's memories with a shadow-based attack, and remains the focus of Tang San's growing hatred. 3 6 43 104

Shrek and the Star Dou Great Forest

While traveling with the Shrek group, Tang San challenges Meng Yiran for ownership of the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake.

After Xiao Wu is taken by the Titan Giant Ape, Tang San recklessly pursues it despite realizing he is vastly outmatched. Tang Hao eventually intervenes to save him, exposing himself as Tang San's father. 64 120
