Background / History

Tang San was regarded as Notting City Junior Academy's most exceptional student. At age twelve, he was already a rank 29 Soul Grand Master with two century-level Soul Rings and the rare potential of Twin Martial Souls. 4

He intervened when Sun Sheng crippled Liu Long and Boss Xiao, believing Sun Sheng had gone too far. Tang San initially fought with Blue Silver Grass, then revealed the Clear Sky Hammer after Sun Sheng's restraint prevented him from moving. Despite his Tang Sect techniques and Hidden Weapons, Tang San was defeated and knocked from the arena. 4 5 6

After later joining the Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San encountered Sun Sheng again in the Star Dou Great Forest. He repeatedly protected Dai Mubai and the other Shrek students during Sun Sheng's attacks, including taking a staff strike meant for Dai Mubai. 30 33

Sun Sheng exploited Meng Yiran's kiss on Tang San to create conflict between Tang San and Xiao Wu. Tang San fought Sun Sheng in anger, deploying his Tang Sect Skills and Zhuge Divine Crossbow, but could not overcome him. Xiao Wu ultimately chose Tang San over Meng Yiran, and Tang San later defended Sun Sheng's straightforward character before the Shrek group. 39 40 42

Personality

Tang San is protective of his companions and especially Xiao Wu. He challenged Sun Sheng over the crippling of fellow students, shielded Dai Mubai from a potentially devastating strike, and was prepared to face Sun Sheng alone rather than let his friends be hurt. 4 33 39

Though initially angered by Sun Sheng's conduct, Tang San can be fair-minded. He later defended Sun Sheng and acknowledged his authentic, direct nature despite their rivalry. 42

He is analytical and adaptable in battle. After recognizing Sun Sheng's physical superiority, he changed tactics by using the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Sect movement techniques, and Hidden Weapons. 5 6 39 40
